Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 511

Sun Wukong lightly tapped the ground with his golden cudgel, producing a crisp tapping sound as he tested the ground's stability.

His gaze swept quickly across the surrounding rock walls, and his Heavenly Eye quietly activated, golden light flowing in his pupils as if piercing through the layers of mist deep within the stone walls.

His steps were steady, each step taken with extreme care, as if he were testing the limits of this unknown territory.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, his three-pointed double-edged sword tilted slightly, and the silver light of the runes on the blade spread rapidly, like an invisible net covering the area in front of him.

His gaze was focused, his brows furrowed slightly, and his fingers moved swiftly through the air, the silver runes like twinkling fireflies, swirling and probing the energy fluctuations ahead.

His movements were fluid and steady, as if everything was under his control, but his expression carried a rare hint of solemnity.

Nezha walked at the back, the flame of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly, illuminating the dark corners on both sides of the passage.

His gaze swept around from time to time, a hint of impatience in his brows, but a confident smile played on his lips.

The flame at the tip of the spear traced a blazing trail in the air, instantly setting up several fire-based defensive arrays on both sides of the passage. When the flames landed, they made a slight hissing sound, as if warning of any potential threats.

"Something's not right with this energy fluctuation..."

Yang Jian's voice was low and deep, with a hint of wariness in his tone.

His fingers traced lines in the air, and the silver light of the runes spread rapidly, further probing the source of the energy ahead.

Nezha chuckled softly, and the flames at the tip of his spear surged slightly, reflecting his slightly excited expression.

He quickened his pace slightly, as if he couldn't wait to confront that unknown force.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, the light of his Heavenly Eye flowing in his pupils, sweeping over the runes on the stone wall. Those complex and ancient patterns seemed to be telling some ancient secret.

He reached out and gently touched the patterns with his fingertips, feeling the faint energy fluctuations within them, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"These runes are related to ancient alchemy arrays, and the source of their energy is probably not simple."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, which echoed in the cave, carrying a hint of probing.

Yang Jian nodded slightly, his fingers lightly tracing the stone wall. The silver light of the runes flowed rapidly, like a fine thread, probing the energy fluctuations deep within the stone wall.

His gaze remained calm, but his tone carried a rare hint of seriousness:

"This energy is indeed similar to the fluctuations of the Chaos Pearl fragment, but its intensity far exceeds our expectations. We need to be careful."

Just then, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, as if some long-dormant creature was awakening.

The force surged in like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the entire cave. The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and the three of them held their breath.

A fighting spirit flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, and the golden cudgel in his hand shimmered with golden light, but his steps remained steady, and his gaze was fixed on the depths of the cave.

A slight smile played on his lips, revealing a hint of confidence.

"It seems our visit has already attracted some attention."

Yang Jian's fingers swiftly swept across the air, and the silver light of the runes rapidly spread, forming a faint barrier that enveloped the three of them.

His gaze was calm, and his tone was low:
"This force is extremely powerful, and we need to deal with it carefully."

Nezha suddenly swung his Fire-Tipped Spear, and the flame at the tip of the spear surged slightly, illuminating his slightly excited expression.

Sun Wukong didn't say much. He gently placed his palm on the golden cudgel, and the light of his magic power flickered slightly. There was a faint golden aura flowing around his body, and he was obviously ready for battle.

His eyes were sharp and his steps were steady as he took the lead into the depths of the grotto.

At the end of the passage, a huge grotto entrance gradually appeared. The grotto emitted powerful energy fluctuations, and the force seemed to be tangible, making it hard to breathe.

The cave walls are covered with ancient runes, their faint light shimmering in the darkness, as if telling some ancient secret.

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 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 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, so let's get started quickly and save time."

Sun Wukong approached the several strange rocks in the center of the cave, gently running his palm across their surfaces and sensing the violent energy fluctuations within them.

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, his fingers lightly tracing the stone wall. The silver light of the runes flowed rapidly as he probed the energy fluctuations deep within the stone wall.

His gaze was calm, and his tone was low:
"But this power is too violent. If it fully awakens, it will probably cause us a lot of trouble."

Just then, a violent tremor suddenly came from deep within the cave, the runes on the stone wall lit up abruptly, and a powerful energy wave rushed out, as if the entire cave was shaking.

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

"It seems we need to prepare for battle."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, the golden cudgel in his hand shimmering slightly with golden light.

Yang Jian's fingers swiftly swept across the air, and the silver light of the runes rapidly spread, forming a stable energy barrier.

His gaze remained calm, and his tone was low:
"The energy fluctuations are getting stronger, and we must deal with them carefully."

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 excitement:
"Let's get started then, I don't want to waste time here!"

With a gentle turn of his golden cudgel, Sun Wukong took the lead and walked into the depths of the cave.

Sun Wukong strode forward, taking the lead into the depths of the grotto. His golden cudgel lightly tapped the ground, probing the stability of the geology.

Each step was firm and powerful, the sound of footsteps echoing clearly in the empty cave.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, the silver runes on his three-pointed double-edged sword continuously probing the energy fluctuations ahead. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, as if it could sense the restlessness of that power.

His brows were furrowed, his expression serious, and he moved with extreme caution.

Nezha, positioned at the rear, had his Fire-Tipped Spear encircling his body, forming a pulsating fire circle as he kept watch over his surroundings. His steps were light, and the tip of his spear was slightly tilted, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any moment.

The temperature inside the grotto suddenly rose, a faint smell of sulfur filled the air, and the patterns on the stone walls began to get hot.

Sun Wukong's golden cudgel slammed heavily into the ground. The moment the end of the cudgel struck the ground, the tremor spread rapidly from the ground to the entire cave, as if the ground itself was groaning under his power.

A shockwave surged forth like a tidal wave, sending dust flying and rocks tumbling through the air. The shockwave shot deep into the cave, attempting to intimidate the unknown entity. "Whatever's inside, let's give it a taste of its power first!"

Sun Wukong sneered, his eyes blazing as he stared intently into the darkness deep within the cave, a confident smile playing on his lips.

His hands gripped the golden cudgel firmly, the staff trembling slightly with the vibrations, its golden light shimmering.

Yang Jian stood at the entrance of the grotto, his gaze calm and focused.

The three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand swiftly sliced ​​through the air, and the silver runes, like nimble threads, intertwined in the air to form a complex rune array pattern.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the rune array rapidly expanded, and as silver light flowed, it transformed into a solid barrier, firmly sealing off the entire entrance to the grotto.

"This rune array can temporarily block any external energy fluctuations, buying us some time."

Yang Jian spoke in a low voice, his tone steady, his brows slightly furrowed, clearly extremely confident in the effectiveness of the talisman array.

His movements were fluid and precise, each stroke of the knife tip in the air carrying an elegant sense of power.

Nezha stood outside the talisman array, and with a gentle turn of his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flames at the tip of the spear suddenly surged.

With a wave of his hands, the flames from the spear tip cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly creating a raging sea of ​​fire around the entrance to the cave.
The flames licked at the surrounding rocks, crackling and popping, and the firelight illuminated his slightly excited expression.

"With the sea of ​​fire I've set up, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have to think twice!"

Nezha chuckled lightly, his gaze sweeping over the sea of ​​fire, a hint of smugness in his tone.

His movements were swift and decisive; the fire-tipped spear in his hand was like a conductor's baton, the flames dancing freely according to his will.

Each of the three had their own role: Sun Wukong was responsible for intimidation, Yang Jian set up defenses, and Nezha used a sea of ​​fire to block the entrance.

The air inside the cave became unusually oppressive under the powerful energy fluctuations, as if even breathing became difficult.

However, the energy fluctuations deep within the cave did not weaken due to the three people's actions; on the contrary, they became even stronger.

A deep rumble came from the darkness, as if some ancient being was gradually awakening.

The force surged in like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the entire grotto, filling the air with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, his gaze still fixed on the depths of the cave, a hint of alertness flashing in his eyes.

He gently gripped the golden cudgel in his hand, feeling the power contained within it, and spoke with a firm tone:

"It seems that deterrence alone is not enough; we must take the initiative!"

Yang Jian nodded slightly, tilting the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand slightly, and the silver light of the runes quickly spread, probing the energy fluctuations deep in the cave.

His gaze was calm, and his voice was deep:
"This force is rapidly increasing, and if it continues, it may get out of our control."

Nezha raised his Fire-Tipped Spear slightly, the flame at its tip drawing a blazing trail of light in the air, his tone tinged with excitement:
"Then stop talking and get to work!"

Without further hesitation, Sun Wukong took the lead and strode into the depths of the cave.

His figure moved like a golden lightning bolt in the darkness, the golden cudgel gleaming slightly in his hand, as if ready to unleash its powerful force at any moment.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, the silver runes on his three-pointed double-edged sword shining like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating the path ahead.

His expression was focused, and each step he took was extremely steady, as if everything was under his control.

Nezha stood at the rear, the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear flickering slightly, illuminating the dark corners on both sides of the passage.

His gaze swept around from time to time, a confident smile playing on his lips, as if he were full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.

The three of them quickly approached the depths of the cave, where the energy fluctuations grew stronger and stronger, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

On the cave walls, ancient runes began to glow faintly, as if echoing the power that was about to awaken.

Sun Wukong suddenly stopped, his eyes blazing as he stared intently into the darkness ahead, and said in a low voice:

"coming!"

Before the words were finished, a violent roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the cave, and a powerful energy wave swept in like a whirlwind.

The three quickly regained their footing, and golden light, silver runes, and blazing flames intertwined in the darkness, forming a solid defensive line.

"Ready to fight!"

Sun Wukong shouted, raised his golden cudgel slightly, and a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

Yang Jian let out a low shout, and the tip of his three-pointed double-edged sword trembled slightly. The silver light on the blade intensified, and runes flowed, blocking all the energy shockwaves.

"Be careful, this energy fluctuation is unusual!"

His tone was solemn, his eyes fixed on the black mist that kept surging from the depths of the cave. The black mist contained an unsettling evil aura, as if it wanted to devour all light.

Inside the grotto, the runes on the huge stone pillars and ancient murals, which were originally dim and dull, now all lit up, emitting a faint red glow, as if countless eyes were staring at them.

In addition to the energy fluctuations, the air was filled with a pungent sulfurous smell that made it almost impossible to breathe.

Holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, Nezha nimbly dodged the energy surges coming from the depths of the cave. The flames on the Fire-Tipped Spear grew brighter, forming a protective barrier that kept the surrounding black energy out.

He turned his head slightly and called out to Sun Wukong and Yang Jian:

"This aura... it's like an ancient demon has awakened!"

His tone carried a hint of solemnity, but even more so, excitement, far exceeding any battle he had ever encountered before.

Sun Wukong's eyes were cold. He wielded his golden cudgel with impenetrable force, dispersing the black energy. He sensed that this energy contained immense magical power, far stronger than when he was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain.

He took a deep breath, feeling the impact of this force, and said in a deep voice:

"Indeed, this power... far exceeds our expectations!"

He swung his golden cudgel heavily, sending a golden shockwave straight into the depths of the cave, attempting to force the power back.

A sudden tremor shook the earth, and a sharp, piercing roar came from deep within the cave, making the three people's eardrums ache.

Stone chips fell in a flurry, making the entire grotto seem about to collapse. Cracks covered the rock walls on both sides of the passage, threatening to crumble at any moment.
