Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 484

Sun Wukong stood still, his eyes flashing with golden light. His fiery eyes pierced through layers of rock and soil, pointing directly to the source of energy fluctuations deep underground.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were piercing, as if he could see through every change in the earth's veins.

A moment later, he gently raised his hand, and the golden cudgel lightly touched the ground. A faint golden light emanated from the cudgel, slowly spreading along the earth's veins.

He slightly raised his palm, his fingertips trembling gently, as if trying to catch that faint energy fluctuation.

"The energy flow of the earth's veins is somewhat strange, as if it is being guided by something."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, his tone tinged with doubt.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately stepped forward, lightly waving his three-pointed double-edged sword, the blade drawing a silver streak in the air.

His gaze was calm and focused, his fingers gently brushing across the blade, the runes shimmering with a faint silver light.

He crouched down, the tip of his blade lightly touching the ground. Runes spread rapidly along the blade, like a silver river meandering across the ground.

“I will inscribe the rune array to guide the earth's energy flow to the source of the fluctuation.”

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his tone calm and composed.

His movements were precise and swift; the tip of the blade left almost no mark on the ground, only the gleaming rune testifying to his actions.

The rune array gradually took shape, and silver light flowed across the ground, as if guiding the flow of the earth's ley line energy.

Nezha stood to the side, the tip of his Fire-Tipped Spear slightly raised, the flames dancing in the air, reflecting his slightly impatient expression.

His gaze swept over Yang Jian's movements, and a slight smirk appeared on his lips.

"Why are you all being so cautious? Since the source is down there, why don't we just go down directly?"

"Nezha said impatiently, his tone urging me on," Nezha said.

Sun Wukong shook his head slightly, and gently tapped the ground with his golden cudgel. The golden light on the cudgel flowed like water, slowly extending along the earth's veins.

"The energy of the earth's veins is complex and ever-changing. If we act rashly, it may lead to uncontrollable consequences."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of caution.

Yang Jian nodded, and gently planted the three-pointed double-edged sword into the ground. The runes on the blade gradually lit up, and magical power flowed into the ground along the blade.

“The Great Sage is right. We need to figure out the energy flow of the earth’s veins before deciding on our next move.”

Yang Jian said in a low, steady voice.

Nezha snorted coldly, and slightly raised his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flame at the tip of the spear leaving a scorching trail in the air.

"Okay, okay, take your time, I can't wait."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly swung the Fire-Tipped Spear, and the flames at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, rushing straight into the depths of the earth.

The moment the flames collided with the underground rocks, a deep roar was heard, sparks flew everywhere, and a narrow crack was blasted open in the rocks, revealing a deep passage below.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong slightly raised his golden cudgel, and the golden light from the cudgel completely illuminated the passage.

His gaze was cold and his tone was low.

"Now that the passage is open, let's go down and take a look."

Yang Jian nodded, and with a gentle swing of his three-pointed double-edged sword, a wisp of silver light flowed from the runes on the blade.

"Everyone be careful, the energy fluctuations underground are much stronger than before."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

Nezha leaped into the air, the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly in the air, reflecting his slightly excited expression.

"Finally, we can get started!"

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped into the passage, the light of the fire-tipped spear drawing a fiery path in the darkness.

The three of them quickly descended through the passage. The surrounding rock walls were covered with dense runes, the light of which flickered in the darkness, as if monitoring their movements.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, and the earth's ley line energy flowed through the channels, carrying an unsettling fluctuation.

"The energy here is getting stronger and stronger."

Sun Wukong's voice was deep, his steps slowed, and he slightly raised his golden cudgel, the golden light illuminating the passage ahead.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, his three-pointed double-edged sword swung lightly, the runes on the blade gleaming with a cold light.

His gaze was fixed on the darkness ahead, his palm pressed against the blade, sensing the flow of earth vein energy, his brows furrowed slightly.

"This force seems to be guiding the earth's ley line energy in one direction; we need to speed things up."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.

Nezha snorted coldly and swung his Fire-Tipped Spear sharply. The flames at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, rushing straight towards the passage ahead.

The firelight illuminated his slightly impatient expression, and his pace quickened accordingly.

"You guys are so slow, I'm getting impatient."

"Nezha said impatiently, his tone urging me on," Nezha said.

The three of them quickly descended through the passage, gradually arriving at a deeper underground space.

The surrounding rock walls gradually disappeared, replaced by a huge void. In the center of the void floated a black energy sphere, and the earth's energy was converging from all directions and flowing into the energy sphere.

"There is indeed a problem."

Sun Wukong's gaze was cold and stern. He swung his golden cudgel suddenly, and the golden light from the cudgel struck the energy ball directly.

However, the moment the golden light touched the energy ball, it was instantly bounced back, causing Sun Wukong to stagger backward.

Seeing this, Yang Jian suddenly swung his three-pointed double-edged sword, the runes on the blade swirling with a silver light as they aimed directly at the energy ball.

The moment the blade collided with the energy ball, the energy ball trembled violently, but remained completely still.

Nezha snorted coldly and swung his Fire-Tipped Spear sharply. The flames at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, heading straight for the energy ball.

The moment the flames collided with the energy ball, a deafening roar was heard, sparks flew everywhere, and the energy ball swayed slightly, but still maintained its original shape.

"This energy ball is a bit strange."

Sun Wukong steadied himself, raised his golden cudgel slightly, and the golden light on the cudgel slowly flowed.

"It can actually absorb and deflect our attacks."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, his tone tinged with doubt.

Yang Jian frowned, and gently touched his three-pointed double-edged sword in front of him, the runes on the blade gleaming with a cold light.

He gently ran his fingers over the blade and said in a low voice.

"This energy ball not only absorbs the earth's energy, but also continuously releases a certain power, interfering with the earth's energy flow."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

Nezha impatiently waved his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flame at the tip flickering slightly, reflecting his disdainful expression.

Sun Wukong closed his eyes again to sense the earth, and lightly tapped the ground with his golden cudgel, the golden light on the cudgel flowing slowly along the earth's veins.

His brow furrowed slightly, and his fingertips trembled gently, as if trying to detect the faint flow of energy. "The direction of the ley lines has changed; the core of the energy sphere is shifting."

He spoke in a low voice, his tone heavy, his eyes sharp as if he could see through every change deep within the earth's veins.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately stepped forward, and with a light flick of his three-pointed double-edged sword, a streak of silver light flashed across the blade.

His gaze was calm and focused, his fingers gently brushing across the blade, the runes shimmering with a faint silver light.

“I will inscribe a new array of runes to guide the earth’s energy around the energy sphere.”

He spoke in a low voice, his tone steady and swift.

The tip of the blade lightly touched the ground, and the runes spread rapidly, like a silver river meandering across the earth.

Nezha stood to the side, the tip of his Fire-Tipped Spear slightly raised, the flames dancing gently in the air.

His gaze was fixed on the energy ball, a hint of impatience in his eyes, and a slight upturn of his lips, carrying a trace of disdain.

"You're all too slow, let me try!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly swung the Fire-Tipped Spear, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, rushing straight towards the energy ball.

The moment the flames collided with the energy ball, a deep rumble was heard.

However, despite the sparks flying everywhere, the energy sphere not only remained unharmed but also engulfed the flames, causing even more intense energy fluctuations within it.

"Damn it, this thing is even more troublesome than I imagined!"

Nezha snorted coldly, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He sheathed his fire-tipped spear, the flame at its tip flickering slightly, reflecting his somewhat defeated expression.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong frowned even more deeply, his palm gently touching the ground, his fingertips trembling slightly, as if sensing every fluctuation in the earth's veins.

"The energy sphere's defenses have been weakened, but the energy inside is rapidly converging."

He spoke in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.

Yang Jian moved even faster, his three-pointed double-edged sword carving a complex array of runes on the ground.

The runes shone like silver chains, spreading rapidly and completely sealing off the area around the energy sphere.

"The flow of ley line energy has been corrected, and the energy output of the energy sphere has been weakened."

He said in a low voice, a hint of satisfaction in his tone.

Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as torches. He swung his golden cudgel with a sudden burst of golden light.

His steps sank slightly, as if he had become one with the earth, and his magic power seeped into the earth's veins along the staff, directly striking the core of the energy ball.

"The time has come, let's join forces and strike!"

He gave a low shout, his tone carrying a hint of determination.

Yang Jian nodded, and with a sudden swing of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the runes on the blade emanated an even stronger binding force, completely sealing off the energy output of the energy ball.

His gaze was calm and focused, the tip of his blade lightly touching the ground, the runes flowing more rapidly under his touch.

Seeing this, Nezha swung his Fire-Tipped Spear, and the flames at the tip of the spear drew a blazing fire dragon in the air, heading straight for the damaged part of the energy ball.

His eyes held a hint of excitement, but his tone carried a hint of disdain.

"A mere energy ball dares to act tough in front of us!"

After he finished speaking, he brandished the Fire-Tipped Spear repeatedly, the flames at the tip drawing scorching streaks in the air as they hurtled towards the energy ball.

With the combined attack of the three, the surface of the energy sphere began to tremble violently, the runes gradually collapsed, and the internal energy fluctuations became even more intense.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the energy sphere shattered completely, and the flow of earth vein energy returned to normal.

Sun Wukong retracted his golden cudgel, the golden light on its body gradually fading. A slight smile played on his lips, his tone carrying a hint of relief.

"Finally solved."

Yang Jian also sheathed his three-pointed double-edged sword, the runes on the blade slowly dissipating. His gaze remained calm, and his tone steady.

"The interference with the earth's vein energy has been completely eliminated."

Nezha sheathed his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flame at its tip flickering slightly. His gaze swept over his surroundings, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"So that's all. It seems this energy ball isn't anything special."

Moments later, the aftershocks of the dissipated energy still lingered in the air, and charred marks remained on the ground where the energy sphere had shattered.

Sun Wukong looked around, his eyes sharp, and keenly sensed something unusual.

"Wait, there's still residual energy!"

He spoke in a low voice, his brows slightly furrowed. He gently tapped the ground with his golden cudgel again, carefully sensing the subtle energy fluctuations deep underground. He closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the pulse of the earth's veins; his movements were so subtle that they were almost imperceptible.

Yang Jian quickly adjusted the position of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the tip of which lightly grazed the ground, outlining new runes.

His movements were fluid and precise, runes flowing like water from his fingertips, quickly forming a new energy guiding array to further clear away the remaining energy.

A faint metallic scent permeated the surrounding air, traces of runic energy leaking from the three-pointed double-edged sword.

Nezha seemed a little impatient. He paced back and forth, casually waving his Fire-Tipped Spear. The flames at the tip of the spear would occasionally shoot out several feet away, making a hissing sound.

"Why is there still one? Stop dawdling, just blow it up!"

He complained, his tone tinged with impatience, but his eyes gleamed with excitement, clearly still eager for the battle.

His rough movements contrasted sharply with the exquisite array of runes around him.

Sun Wukong opened his eyes and whispered the command:
"Yang Jian, use the 'Purifying Spirit Formation'! Nezha, pay attention to the energy flow and be ready to provide support at any time!"

His tone was calm yet firm, and his eyes revealed his complete control over the situation.

After he finished speaking, he tapped the ground lightly with his golden cudgel, the rhythm distinct, as if conducting a silent orchestra.

Yang Jian remained silent, only nodding. His movements became even faster, and the array of runes quickly took shape at his fingertips, the complex and exquisite patterns shimmering faintly in the night sky.

As the array was completed, noticeable energy fluctuations appeared in the surrounding air. A trace of residual energy was guided into the array and quickly purified.

The air around the array was slightly distorted by the flow of energy.

Sun Wukong gripped the golden cudgel tightly with both hands, and the golden light on the cudgel suddenly surged, like a golden dragon coiling on the ground.

He took a deep breath, and his magic flowed along the staff into the earth's veins, guiding the remaining energy slowly towards Yang Jian's rune array.

His brow furrowed slightly, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched gently, clearly indicating that he was doing his best to control this power.

Yang Jian stood to the side, and with a light swing of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the runes on the blade shimmered with a cold silver light.

His gaze was focused, and the array of runes rapidly expanded beneath his feet, like a giant silver spider web, firmly trapping the remaining energy.

His fingers gently brushed across the blade, his movements delicate and precise, as if he were weaving an invisible net.

The runes lit up slowly with his movements, and the energy fluctuations in the air gradually weakened as they were purified by the Cleansing Array.

Yang Jian's forehead was slightly damp with sweat, but his expression remained calm, as if everything was under control.
