Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 510

Yang Jian stood beside Sun Wukong, his three-pointed double-edged sword tilted slightly, the silver runes on the tip of the sword spreading rapidly, precisely cutting into the energy cycle around the stone.

His gaze was calm, his brows slightly furrowed, and his fingers moved swiftly through the air. The silver light of the runes acted like an invisible net, slowly gathering the energy emitted by the stone.

"This energy is indeed similar to the fluctuations of the Chaos Pearl fragment..."

Yang Jian's voice was deep and steady.

"But its strength far exceeded our expectations. If not properly managed, it could backfire."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, gently pressing his palm on the stone. The light of his magic gradually intensified, as if he were soothing a raging beast.

His gaze was piercing, and his fingers slid rapidly across the stone, guiding the flow of energy.

"I have directed the energy toward the fragment of the Chaos Pearl..."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice.

"Yang Jian, you control the flow of energy and ensure it is injected smoothly."

Yang Jian didn't say much. The silver runes on his three-pointed double-edged sword flickered slightly as he precisely adjusted the energy's guiding path.

His movements were fluid and cautious, the lines of runes intertwining in the air to form a more complex energy network.

"The energy level has stabilized; the docking speed can be increased..."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his brows furrowing slightly.

"But we must be careful to avoid energy overload."

Just then, Nezha's voice came from the entrance of the cave, tinged with a hint of wariness:
"Have you guys sorted it out yet? I sensed some unusual energy fluctuations at the cave entrance; it seems like something's getting closer!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned slightly, his gaze still fixed on the energy flow on the stone, his voice steady:
"Hold on a little longer, 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 solidifying the energy's guiding path.

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

Nezha snorted coldly, and the flames on his Fire-Tipped Spear suddenly surged, the tip of the spear drawing a blazing trail of light in the air, quickly covering the area around the cave entrance:

"Alright, hurry up, I don't want to stay here any longer!"

Inside the grotto, the energy fluctuations gradually stabilized. Under Yang Jian's precise control, the violent energy within the stone flowed gently into the container of the Chaos Pearl fragment, like a docile river.

Sun Wukong gently ran his fingers across 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."

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 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, a violent tremor suddenly came from outside the cave, and the rocks at the top of the cave began to collapse. A large number of rubble fell from the height and hit the ground with a dull thud.

Nezha's voice came again, tinged with urgency:

"Hurry, the rocks at the cave entrance are collapsing!"

Sun Wukong and Yang Jian exchanged a glance, then quickly increased the speed of their movements. Sun Wukong's fingers swiftly traced the container, his magical power glowing 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 stuck it on the surface of the stone. 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."

Nezha suddenly swung his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flames at the tip of the spear flaring up slightly, and his tone carried a hint of wariness.

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 took the lead and continued walking forward. His steps were steady and powerful, each step landing on the solid ground with a soft "thump-thump" sound.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, his three-pointed double-edged sword still pointing warily ahead, the blade reflecting the dim light of the passage and gleaming with a chilling light.

As he walked, he carefully observed the rock walls on both sides of the passage, looking for anything unusual, and fine beads of sweat slid down his temples.

Nezha brought up the rear, his Fire-Tipped Spear still dragging on the ground, making a slight scraping sound. But he slowed down, occasionally turning back to observe Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, his eyes filled with worry.

Sun Wukong gently pressed his palm on the strange stone, his magical power guiding the violent energy within with the precision of a silk thread. His brows furrowed slightly, his fingertips trembling gently, as if plucking a taut string, his gaze focused and calm.

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.

His gaze swept around, and the runes inside the cave still flickered faintly, as if silently watching their actions.

Beside him, Yang Jian lowered his head and quickly inscribed a warning rune array on the ground. The silver light of the runes flowed across the ground, forming a faint barrier.

After finishing the drawing, Yang Jian slightly raised his head, his gaze serious, and said in a low voice:

"This rune array can provide early warning of energy fluctuations, and we can detect any abnormalities immediately."

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." Nezha's voice carried a hint of impatience, but his eyes revealed a spark of excitement.

Yang Jian sheathed his three-pointed double-edged sword, his gaze sharp, his tone low and calm:
"The source of this energy should be just ahead, we must proceed with caution."

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 magical power 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. The cave emanated a powerful energy fluctuation, a force that seemed tangible and made it difficult 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.

His brow furrowed slightly, and his voice was low:
"The energy fluctuations inside are extremely chaotic, as if some powerful entity is awakening."

Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear was slightly raised, the flame at the tip flickering gently, reflecting his expression:

"Let me see what this thing is!"

Sun Wukong didn't say much. He gently placed his palm on the storage space and felt the faint fluctuations of the Chaos Pearl fragment inside.

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 grotto.

The space inside the grotto is extremely vast, and the surrounding rock walls are covered with ancient runes. The faint light of the runes flickers 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 magic power shone slightly, 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.

He slowly tightened his grip on the golden cudgel, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

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.

His brow furrowed slightly, and his voice was low:
“A powerful force is awakening, and we must deal with it carefully.”

Nezha raised his Fire-Tipped Spear slightly, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a blazing trail of light in the air.

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, his gaze fixed firmly on the depths of the cave, the golden cudgel in his hand shimmering with golden light.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Sun Wukong was the first to step into the cave, each step taken with extreme caution, dust billowing beneath his feet. The cave was completely dark, with only the light from the three of them's magical powers barely illuminating a small area.

The stone wall was covered with strange patterns, like some kind of ancient totem, radiating faint energy fluctuations.

The air was filled with the damp smell of earth, mixed with a faint odor of sulfur, making it feel slightly suffocating.
