Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 559

Inside the core hall of the Black Mist Abyss, the Chaos Pearl suddenly erupted with blinding light, almost dissolving everything in its primordial chaos.

The head of the Imperial Pharmacy's wild laughter twisted and echoed amidst the energy storm: "Do you see it? The mighty power of chaos! The end of the Three Realms! Nothingness is eternal!"

With his frenzied roar, the power of the altar was fully activated.

The ground no longer simply cracked open, but shattered like fragile glass inch by inch amidst a deafening roar, instantly forming a terrifying, bottomless abyss!
The surging chaotic energy was no longer a simple black tide, but like boiling lava at the beginning of creation, mixed with fragments of destroyed stars and murmurs that melted souls, and it gushed upwards wildly!
"Sand table—!" In his shock, Nezha urgently summoned the sand table again, attempting to analyze and guide this unimaginable torrent of energy.

However, just as the sand table began to glow faintly, an even more primal and violent chaotic force, like an invisible hammer, lashed back at it fiercely!
*Pfft*—Nezha spat out a mouthful of blood essence, and his whole body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. The sand table slipped from his hands, its light dimmed, and even fine cracks appeared on its surface!

This crystallization of his wisdom, the culmination of countless hours of effort, appears so insignificant in the face of the laws of chaos.

"Hold on!"

Yang Jian's roar was the only sound that could suppress the roar of energy at this moment.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his three-pointed double-edged sword shone with divine light. He led his battle-hardened heavenly soldiers to forge a flesh-and-blood defense line at the edge of the abyss rift.

"The Eight Trigrams Formation, stabilizing the universe!"

Golden runes lit up instantly, and a huge octagonal phantom spun and pressed down toward the edge of the abyss, attempting to stabilize the earth's veins and prevent the rift from expanding further.

The celestial soldiers poured their power into the formation without reservation. Their immortal armor hissed and crackled under the onslaught of chaotic energy. Many of them had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, but their eyes remained unwavering.

But this only slowed the rate of collapse.

Even more terrifying are those ferocious beasts corrupted by chaotic energy!
Their bodies swelled and twisted rapidly, their scales turned black and sharpened, their claws and fangs gleamed with a metallic sheen, and their eyes were completely replaced by a chaotic red light, leaving only pure, all-consuming madness!

Ignoring the array's obstruction, the raging beast horde relentlessly rammed into the light barrier of the Bagua array. Each impact caused the light barrier to shake violently, and the heavenly soldiers' faces turned even paler.

The defense line is in grave danger!
At the same time that the abyss erupted, the atmosphere inside the Qitian Palace, the core of the Heavenly Court, was equally eerie.

Venus, who was monitoring the overall situation and allocating resources through the vast astrolabe, suddenly changed his expression!
The main lines in the center of the horoscope, representing the core spiritual veins of the Heavenly Court, suddenly flashed with ominous dark red light spots!
One of the points of light trembled violently, its location clearly pointing to the spiritual vein node near the Qitian Palace—the energy source for the entire Heavenly Court's defense and operation!
"Someone has sabotaged the core spiritual vein!"

Venus felt a great alarm bell ringing in his mind.

He remained calm and composed, his gaze sweeping across the numerous celestial officials on duty in the hall with lightning speed.

Who is it? The traitor is actually hiding in the core of the Heavenly Court's power!
He instantly recalled the minor celestial official from the Department of Medicine he had captured earlier, and the deranged true face of the head of the Department of Medicine; a chill ran down his spine. Destroying the spiritual veins—this was cutting off their lifeline, completely paralyzing the Heavenly Court while it fought fiercely on the front lines!

In a flash, Venus made his decision. He ordered in a deep voice, "Send word! Immediately requisition 10,000 catties each of Kunlun Ice Jade Marrow and Primordial Yang Iron, and escort them to the Heavenly Treasury for trial!" This order was abrupt and highly targeted—Ice Jade Marrow and Primordial Yang Iron were the key materials for stabilizing the core spiritual vein nodes! The instant the order was given, the dark red dot on the star chart clearly moved!

The target appeared: a seemingly composed high-ranking celestial official who held a significant position in charge of the Heavenly Court's treasury. His expression shifted slightly as he quietly left his post and stealthily made his way towards the hidden spiritual vein's central node. Venus followed silently behind, like a shadow.

In front of a heavily guarded but now somewhat lax hub room, the celestial official was about to insert a black crystal key containing a destruction spell into the core of the array, intending to detonate the node!
"evil creature!"

With a resounding shout like a booming bell, Venus suddenly appeared, giving his opponent no time to react. A flash of light appeared in his arms, and the "Bewitching Jade Disc" was activated instantly!
A circle of white ripples, visible to the naked eye and carrying a strange rhythm, instantly spread out and precisely enveloped the celestial official who intended to cause destruction.

The celestial official froze instantly, his eyes glazed over, and the black crystal key in his hand slipped limply to the ground.

The power of bewitching mind penetrated directly into his primordial spirit, instantly severing any possible connection between his primordial spirit and the Dark Star Organization, and also taking control of his consciousness.

"Guards! Seize this traitor and keep him under strict guard. He must not have contact with any outsiders!" Venus roared the order. His trusted celestial generals, already arranged beforehand, immediately pounced, binding the dazed celestial official and taking him away. The crisis was temporarily averted, but Venus's heart sank even deeper. The Chaos Abyss had erupted at the front lines, the head of the Medicine Hall had betrayed them, and such a high-ranking traitor lurked within the Heavenly Court… the Dark Star Organization's infiltration was far beyond imagination; the situation was extremely precarious!

He immediately rushed back to the star chart, his hands moving with lightning speed like butterflies flitting through flowers. His divine sense focused like a needle, and with the highest secret technique of "Heavenly Heart Communication," he desperately tried to penetrate the raging chaotic energy storm deep within the Black Mist Abyss to transmit the news of the spiritual vein crisis and the capture of the traitor, as well as the more crucial point—the need to prevent the Chaos Pearl from fully opening its passage—to Sun Wukong on the front lines of the Abyss!

"Great Sage! The spiritual vein crisis has been averted, and the main culprit has been captured! The core lies in the pearl, and its source will surely be exhausted! The head of the medicine department is the leader of Dark Star!"

His mind was filled with an indescribable anxiety.

The core area of ​​the abyss.

"Ahhhh—!" The head of the Department of Medicine, or rather the true leader of the Dark Star Organization, had his body violently twisted and expanded under the energy infusion of the Chaos Pearl. His black robe had long since been completely shattered, revealing no longer the body of a "celestial official," but a monster form composed of shadow energy, rotten flesh and ever-expanding chaotic tentacles.

Parts of his limbs even dissolved into the surging pillar of chaotic energy, and his voice, like the combined wails of billions of living beings, cried out: "Embrace nothingness! This corrupt Three Realms will ultimately be restarted by our Lord!"

Sun Wukong was enduring an unimaginable shock at this moment.

He plunged the golden cudgel deep into the core vortex of the Chaos Pearl, as if trying to plug a collapsing universe with a giant pillar.

The raging chaotic energy, like billions of steel needles capable of tearing apart the soul, rushed wildly into his body along the golden cudgel, attempting to assimilate and decompose him!
The divine light on his body flickered violently, his golden hair instantly turned black and then regenerated in an instant, his hands, which were tightly gripping the divine weapon, split open, and the divine blood that flowed out dripped into the abyss, where it was instantly evaporated.

If he hadn't possessed an indestructible body and an unparalleled will honed through countless tribulations, he would have been reduced to ashes the moment they made contact.

"Golden Cudgel... Freeze!"

Sun Wukong's eyes widened in fury, and tangible golden light burst forth from them. His golden cudgel trembled violently under the strain, and the expansion of the chaotic vortex at its tip was indeed forcibly slowed down by a fraction.

But the price was that the pressure on him increased dramatically, and blood began to seep from his mouth.

Just then, Venus's anxious divine thought, like a glimmer of light piercing through a storm, painstakingly reached Sun Wukong's heart! The spiritual vein was saved, the traitor was caught, and the head of the Medicine Hall was the leader of Dark Star... More importantly, there was that core warning—the core is in the pearl, and its source will surely be exhausted!

"The source is in the bead... but it also has its limits?" A flash of inspiration struck Sun Wukong.

At the same time, Nezha struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He saw Sun Wukong's imposing figure as he withstood the Chaos Pearl, and the intense clash of laws of light on the Golden Cudgel. "The power of laws clashes with primordial chaos... but the sandbox can analyze laws... and even briefly guide the nascent forms of rules..." An extremely bold, almost insane idea instantly flooded Nezha's mind!

He staggered towards the fallen sand table, completely ignoring his injuries and the frenzied beasts swarming around him, slaughtering the heavenly soldiers. His eyes were fixed only on that small platform, the culmination of his life's wisdom. "Help me one more time!" Nezha roared, spraying the last of his vital essence onto the sand table. The cracks miraculously healed, and it shone with an indomitable light once more!
"Brother Yang Jian! Cover me! Hold back Chaos!" Nezha roared without looking up.

Upon hearing the sound, Yang Jian didn't hesitate to pull himself out from the collapsing defensive line, his three-pointed double-edged sword gleaming with unprecedented sharpness! "Seventy-two Transformations! Law of Heaven and Earth!" he roared, his body instantly transforming into a hundred-zhang giant. Not to attack, but to pounce like a divine mountain towards the edge of the chaotic energy pillar and the abyss rift! His massive body withstood the most violent impact, forcefully blocking a large amount of energy turbulence and berserk beasts rushing towards Nezha and Sun Wukong! This action greatly increased the pressure on the already unstable Bagua Formation; several celestial soldiers in the corners couldn't withstand the pressure, their immortal armor shattering instantly, their physical bodies collapsing! But their sacrifice bought Nezha the most precious moment!
"Now! Sand table—link the rules, all laws return to their origin!" Nezha's hands touched the sand table like flowers, and countless complex and profound array patterns instantly lit up and flew out, wrapping around Sun Wukong's golden cudgel as if they were alive!
Om-!
An indescribable, strange fluctuation instantly spread out from the golden cudgel as its center!
The light from the sand table was transmitted through the array patterns, no longer attempting to analyze chaos, but rather strangely "magnifying" and "manifesting" the power of laws embodied on the golden cudgel, representing the creation of heaven and earth and the stable order of all things—the profound power of rules belonging to the "Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron" that stabilized the universe and the power of Yu the Great to control the floods and regulate the earth's veins!
The chaotic energy pillar, which was originally raging and disorderly, and capable of eroding everything, became noticeably stagnant when it touched the layer of law radiance manifested and amplified by the sand table, just like a red-hot iron encountering an invisible barrier! The speed at which the passage expanded was instantly suppressed by more than 80%! The suffocating destructive pressure suddenly lessened!

"It works! Hahaha!" Nezha was overjoyed, but the cracks on the sand table deepened and spread instantly. Controlling this "manifestation of rules" that exceeded the limits was an incredibly heavy burden on his primordial spirit, and blood began to seep from his seven orifices!

"No—! How dare you, mere ants, steal the law!" The Dark Star leader roared in a shrill, inhuman voice. The Chaos Pearl's energy output became even more violent, the channel, which had been mostly frozen, struggled violently, and blinding lightning and spatial rifts erupted at the point of contact between the radiance of the law and the chaos! Sun Wukong and Nezha both groaned simultaneously, the pressure increasing sharply! The Golden Cudgel emitted a painful wail, the cracks on the sand table almost shattering it completely!
Sun Wukong endured excruciating pain, his body and soul being torn apart. He clenched his teeth, blood seeping from his gums, his mind consumed only by the core message from Taibai Jinxing: "The core lies in the pearl, its source will surely be exhausted!" The pearl itself! This Chaos Pearl was no water without a source; it certainly had a limit to its capacity! It was now being forcibly and excessively stimulated, like a water tank about to burst!
"Nezha! Hold on!" Sun Wukong's voice was hoarse like a broken gong. "Listen to my command! It's almost at its limit! I'm going to smash this 'water vat' open and crack it!"

He stared intently at the Chaos Pearl, which floated and sank within the pillar of chaotic energy, almost merging with the Dark Star Leader. All the energy was surging towards that point before bursting forth—that was the "Source"! An absolutely insane plan took shape in the mind of this Great Sage Equaling Heaven—since the flood could not be stopped, then he would deliberately tear open a larger opening at the source, allowing the flood to burst forth and collapse in an instant!

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, his entire body's essence and blood burning and boiling, and golden light shone brightly once more, even faintly suppressing the chaotic grayness. He suddenly spun the golden cudgel in his hand!
"The greatest truths are the simplest! One strike can shatter all laws—the creation of heaven and earth!"

Roar--!
Accompanied by Sun Wukong's roar that could split rocks and pierce clouds, the golden cudgel that was inserted into the core vortex of the Chaos Pearl was no longer used to "block" or "fix" with its supreme power. Instead, for the first time, it erupted from the core of the chaotic energy with a sharp and incomparable true meaning of "breaking" that could destroy everything!

Like the axe that Pangu used to split the heavens and the earth, it carries the resolute will to pierce through the primordial wilderness and distinguish between the pure and the impure!

Tsk-!
A very strange sound, as if the fabric of space was being torn apart, rang out.

The entire boiling, chaotic core suddenly choked.

On the surface of that radiant, destructive Chaos Bead, a crystal-clear crack, like a winding black lightning bolt, pierced through the bead!

That wasn't external physical damage caused by Yang Jian or Nezha's power, but rather by Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, which contained the true meaning of creation and destruction. At the level of laws, it shook the stable structure inside the Chaos Pearl, triggering the extreme pressure accumulated due to excessive stimulation, and the manifestation of its inability to bear the burden! It was like a pressure cooker being punctured by a pinhole!
"puff--!"

The Dark Star leader, a being deeply connected to the power of the Chaos Pearl, suddenly spat out a large mass of black blood mixed with shattered internal organs and chaotic energy!

His distorted, bloated monstrous body fluctuated violently, shrank, and even showed signs of disintegrating. The violent tremors in the passage suddenly intensified!
"Impossible! My Chaos Pearl! The Source of Eternity!"

His roar was filled with unbelievable fear and hysterical madness as he looked at Sun Wukong's golden cudgel with the eyes of someone who had seen his destined nemesis.

"Destruction... Destruction... What exactly are you... Stabilizing the Sea... Creating the Heavens... Destruction..."

Broken words spilled from his mouth.
