Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 508

Sun Wukong stood beside the furnace, his palms firmly pressed on its surface, and the light of his celestial magic shone faintly.

He sensed the remaining energy in the furnace gradually becoming active under the influence of the runes, as if a sleeping behemoth was awakening.

His gaze was focused, his fingertips lightly tracing the runes, and he murmured:

"Although this energy is violent, it is very similar to the fluctuations of the Chaos Pearl fragment. We can try to guide it."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian quickly stepped forward, his three-pointed double-edged sword turning slightly, the silver light of the runes spreading rapidly, precisely cutting into the energy cycle of the furnace.

His gaze was calm, but his brow was slightly furrowed.
"The energy in the furnace is extremely powerful, and the slightest carelessness could trigger a backlash. We need to guide it carefully to avoid getting out of control."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, and the celestial magic power in his palm gathered like thunder. The golden cudgel trembled slightly in his hand, as if it sensed the power of its master.

His gaze was fixed on the furnace, and he said in a low voice:
"I will guide the energy in the furnace to the fragment of the Chaos Pearl. You will control the flow of energy to ensure a smooth connection between the two."

Yang Jian didn't say much. His three-pointed double-edged sword hovered steadily above the furnace. The silver light of the runes acted like an invisible net, gradually constricting the raging energy within the furnace.

His movements were fluid and cautious, as if he were controlling a giant python about to break free of its reins.

At the same time, Sun Wukong gently touched the container of the Chaos Pearl fragment with his finger, and slowly poured celestial magic into it.

The runes on the container flickered slightly, and the energy fluctuations gradually intensified.

His gaze was piercing, and his eyes held a hint of determination:
"The energy has begun to connect, but the fluctuations are too violent. Yang Jian, you need to control it further."

Yang Jian frowned slightly, and the silver runes on his three-pointed double-edged sword swirled rapidly, precisely adjusting the direction of energy flow.

His voice was low and calm:
"Although the energy flow is violent, it is still within a controllable range. However, we need to speed up to avoid energy overload."

Just as the two were focused on manipulating energy, Nezha's voice came from outside the cave, carrying a hint of urgency:

"Have you guys sorted it out yet? I've noticed something strange about the cave entrance; it seems like something's getting closer!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned slightly, his gaze still fixed on the energy interaction between the furnace and the fragment of the Chaos Pearl, his voice steady:

"Give us a little more time; the energy docking has reached a critical stage."

Yang Jian's fingers lightly traced a line in the air, and the silver light of the runes quickly spread, further stabilizing the path of energy flow.

His gaze was calm as he spoke in a low voice:
"Nezha, hold the cave entrance steady and don't let anything get close. We'll be done here soon."

Upon hearing this, Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear suddenly flared up, the flames at the tip of the spear drawing a blazing trail of light in the air, quickly covering the area around the cave entrance.

His tone carried a hint of impatience:
"Alright, hurry up, I don't want to stay here any longer!"

Inside the cave, the energy fluctuations gradually stabilized. Under Yang Jian's precise control, the raging energy in the furnace flowed like a gentle river into the container of the Chaos Pearl fragment.

Sun Wukong's fingers lightly traced the container, sensing the energy fluctuations within gradually weakening, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes:
"Very good, the energy has been successfully integrated, and the fluctuations of the Chaos Pearl fragment have also stabilized."

Yang Jian nodded slightly, and with a gentle wave of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the silver light of the runes spread rapidly, probing the surrounding energy fluctuations.

His gaze remained focused, and his tone was low:
"Although things have stabilized for the time being, we must ensure that there are no hidden dangers."

Just then, Nezha outside the cave suddenly raised his voice, his tone tinged with wariness:
"You'd better hurry, something's coming!"

Sun Wukong and Yang Jian exchanged a glance, and simultaneously quickened their movements. Sun Wukong's fingers swiftly traced the container, and celestial magic glowed faintly, further stabilizing the energy of the Chaos Pearl fragment.

Yang Jian quickly took out a jade tablet engraved with runes from his bosom and affixed it to the surface of the furnace. The silver light of the runes flowed rapidly, forming a stable energy barrier.

"The energy has stabilized; we need to leave here as soon as possible."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over the cave entrance, a hint of alertness flashing in his eyes.

Yang Jian nodded slightly, and with a gentle turn of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the silver light of the runes spread rapidly, probing the surrounding energy fluctuations.

His gaze was calm, and his tone was low:
"The energy fluctuations at the cave entrance are somewhat abnormal; it seems that a powerful entity is approaching."

Nezha stood at the cave entrance, the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly, reflecting his somewhat impatient expression.

His gaze swept across the cave, his tone carrying a hint of urging:
"Have you guys sorted things out yet? I don't want to stay here any longer!"

Sun Wukong didn't say much. He gently placed his palm on the container containing the fragments of the Chaos Pearl and felt the faint energy fluctuations within.

His gaze was firm, and his tone was steady:
"Okay, let's go."

The three quickly left the cave and continued along the ley line.

Inside the tunnel, the damp air was filled with a faint smell of sulfur, and muffled rumbling sounds came from deep underground, like the low growls of a giant beast.

Sun Wukong walked in the lead, each step firm and powerful. He would occasionally look back to check on Yang Jian and Nezha to make sure they kept up.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, his three-pointed double-edged sword gleaming slightly as he warily surveyed his surroundings, occasionally tapping the ground with the tip of his blade to test the stability of the geology.

Nezha brought up the rear, his Fire-Tipped Spear dragging on the ground, making a slight scraping sound. He would look around from time to time, and then look up at the top of the passage, his eyes sharp and his vigilance undiminished.

A moment later, Sun Wukong suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed ahead, and his voice low and deep:
"There's a strange fluctuation ahead; it seems rather unusual."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian slightly turned the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, and the silver light of the runes quickly spread out, probing the energy fluctuations in front of him.

His brow furrowed slightly, and his voice was low:
"There is indeed something unusual; the energy fluctuations are extremely chaotic, possibly indicating some kind of powerful entity."

Sun Wukong didn't say much. He gently placed his palm on the container containing the fragments of the Chaos Pearl and felt the faint energy fluctuations within.

His gaze was piercing, and his tone was firm:
"In any case, we must proceed with caution. Let's go, and keep moving forward."

Sun Wukong put the fragment of the Chaos Pearl into his storage space with swift and light movements, as if the weight of the fragment was nothing more than a feather in his hands.

Yang Jian held a three-pointed, double-edged sword, the runes on its blade shimmering slightly. He gently swung the tip of the sword, sensing the energy fluctuations ahead. After a moment, he frowned slightly, lowered his head, and quickly inscribed a simple warning rune array on the ground. The silver light of the runes flowed across the ground, forming a faint barrier.

Nezha stood beside the side wall of the passage, his Fire-Tipped Spear tilted slightly. The flames at the tip of the spear drew several small arcs in the air, and when the flames landed, they instantly set up several small fire-based defensive arrays on both sides of the passage.

His movements were fluid, with a confident smile on his lips, as if this arrangement was nothing more than a piece of cake for him.

"Let's go, the energy fluctuations ahead are getting stronger."

Yang Jian sheathed his three-pointed double-edged sword, his gaze sharp and his tone low and calm.

Sun Wukong nodded, his gaze sweeping across the end of the passage, sensing the powerful energy fluctuations gradually approaching.

He took the lead, his steps steady and powerful, with a faint glow of celestial magic flowing around him, clearly indicating that he was ready for battle.

The three continued along the passage, the air filled with a faint smell of sulfur, and the dull tremors coming from deep underground seemed to remind them that an unprecedented challenge might await them.

Faint ley line runes flickered on the rock walls of the passage, their faint light reflecting the solemn expressions of the three people.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, a huge cave entrance gradually appeared at the end of the passage.

A powerful energy fluctuation emanated from the cave, and the force seemed to be tangible, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Sun Wukong stopped and slightly raised his hand, signaling the two to be on guard.

"Be careful, the energy in here is not simple."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the entrance to the cave, a hint of vigilance flashing in them.

Yang Jian nodded, tilting the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand slightly, the silver light of the runes spreading rapidly as he probed the energy fluctuations within the cave.

Sun Wukong gently pressed his palm on the storage space, feeling the faint fluctuations of the Chaos Pearl fragment within.

He took a deep breath, his gaze resolute:
"We have to go in and take a look, no matter what. Maybe we can find a clue to completely solve the problem of the Chaos Pearl fragments."

Having said that, he took the lead and stepped into the cave. The cave was extremely spacious, and the surrounding rock walls were covered with ancient runes. The faint light of the runes flickered in the darkness, as if telling some ancient secret.

In the center of the grotto, several strange stones emitted a faint light, and energy fluctuations emanated from these stones.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, tilting his three-pointed double-edged sword slightly, the silver light of the runes spreading rapidly as he probed the surrounding energy fluctuations.

His gaze was calm, and his voice was deep:
"The energy fluctuations of these stones are extremely strong, and they seem to be somewhat similar to those of the fragments of the Chaos Pearl."

Nezha walked at the back, the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly, illuminating the dark corners of the cave.

His gaze swept around, a hint of impatience in his voice:
"This place doesn't look special. Let's hurry up and take these stones with us to save time."

Sun Wukong ignored Nezha's urging, walked closer to the strange stones, and gently ran his palm across their surface, feeling the violent energy fluctuations within.

A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice:
"The energy of these stones is extremely special; they may be used to strengthen the seal on the fragments of the Chaos Pearl."

Yang Jian nodded slightly, and with a gentle flick of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the silver light of the runes quickly spread, enveloping the area around the stone.

His gaze was focused, and his voice was deep:
"But their energy is too violent, and we need to guide it carefully, otherwise it may cause a backlash."

Upon hearing this, Nezha's lips curled into a confident smile, and the flames on his Fire-Tipped Spear surged slightly.
"Backlash? That depends on whether it has the ability to do so!"

Sun Wukong didn't say much. He gently pressed his palm on the stone, and the light of his celestial magic began to shine faintly, slowly flowing into the stone.

He felt the violent energy within gradually stabilize under the influence of the runes, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes:
"Alright, the energy has stabilized. We can try to use it to strengthen the seal."

Yang Jian nodded slightly, and with a gentle wave of his three-pointed double-edged sword, the silver light of the runes spread rapidly, slowly guiding the energy of the stone out.

His movements were fluid and cautious, as if he were handling an extremely fragile object.

Just then, a low rumbling sound suddenly came from deep within the cave, as if something was gradually awakening.

All three turned their gazes toward the depths of the cave, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.

"It seems we are not the only visitors."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, his eyes sharp and his tone wary.

Yang Jian's fingers lightly traced the air, and the silver light of the runes quickly spread, probing the energy fluctuations deep within the cave.

Sun Wukong took a deep breath and took the lead in walking into the depths of the cave. His steps were steady and powerful, each step echoing heavily on the hard ground.

The cave was pitch black, with only the faint light from the three of them using their magic to barely illuminate the narrow passage ahead.

The stone walls on both sides of the passage were covered with strange patterns that emitted faint energy fluctuations, like some kind of ancient runes.

"These patterns... look somewhat familiar."

Yang Jian followed closely behind, observing the patterns on the stone wall while muttering to himself. His three-pointed, double-edged sword trembled slightly behind him, as if ready to fight at any moment.

He frowned, muttering to himself, trying to connect these patterns with the ancient records he knew.

The passageway widened, and a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

Sun Wukong stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on the patterns on the stone wall, his brows furrowing slightly.

His divine eye quietly activated, and golden light flowed in his pupils, as if penetrating deep into the stone wall.

After a moment, he said in a low voice:
“These patterns seem to be related to ancient alchemy arrays. The energy fluctuations are extremely unique, especially in the deep areas where the energy is unusually intense.”
