Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 591

Deep within the Pure Karma Valley, on a patch of charred rocks ravaged by subterranean fire, the young Jin curled up like a broken rag doll.

He exhausted almost all of his chaotic affinity to activate the Earth Fire Lotus Heart, maintaining the furnace base for the brief period of time to buy Sun Wukong time.

At this moment, he was barely breathing, and the purple flame mark between his brows, a symbol of the earth's favor, was as dim as a candle flickering in the wind, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

His body was cold, his consciousness sank into the boundless darkness, and his soul seemed about to merge into this scarred land that he loved so deeply, a land tormented by him.

However, on the verge of death, a familiar, icy torrent carrying the aura of chaos and primordial chaos surged into his withering body without warning!
This power did not come from the earth's veins, but from—the black lotus seed that Sun Wukong held in his palm!

The lotus seed seemed to sense this body, which was highly compatible with the Chaos Force yet incredibly fragile due to overexertion, and found the perfect warm bed for it.

The lotus seed shimmered almost imperceptibly, and a wisp of extremely pure primordial chaos energy, ignoring spatial barriers, directly injected into the purple flame mark between Jin's eyebrows.

"Ugh..."

Jin let out an unconscious groan, and his cold body suddenly warmed up, like a parched desert being irrigated by sweet rain.

The depleted affinity of chaos was violently awakened, becoming even stronger and more restless than before.

The purple flame mark between his brows no longer dimmed, but instead burst forth with an eerie deep purple light, creating a violent and synchronized resonance with the lotus seed in Sun Wukong's palm in the distance!

A surge of overwhelming power filled my body, and the near-death experience seemed to be reversed in an instant.

A deep, seductive, and twistedly magical thought, like a leech, resonated directly in the deepest recesses of his consciousness:
Abandon this futile struggle…embrace the chaos…this scarred earth is not worth your life…return to your origin, release the resentment in your heart…you will gain true power to reshape everything…

This demonic thought is filled with the will of a chaotic nightmare.

It chose Jhin!

This body, which carries a deep compassion and obsession with protecting the land of Beiju Luzhou, will become the perfect "container" for the descent of its ninth demonic embryo form!
"No..." Jin's remaining consciousness screamed frantically.

His will to protect this land was pure; it was the only belief that sustained him through countless hardships.

He resisted the assimilation of the demonic thoughts, trying to focus his mind and feel the pulse of the earth again, and the creatures that needed his protection.

But he underestimated the viciousness of the lotus seed. At that very moment, the resentment within him, passively absorbed through countless attempts to channel the earth's fire and repair the earth's veins—the desperate cries of the tribes swallowed by the earth's fire before their deaths, the silent accusations of the children frozen stiff in the cold waves, the unforgettable curses of the miners buried in mine disasters and suffocating in the darkness, the boundless pain and anger accumulated deep beneath the earth due to the constant tearing of their homes—was ignited precisely by the demonic fetus like a dormant volcano!

"what--!!!"

A shrill, inhuman roar burst forth from Jin's throat.

He clutched his head in agony, his body convulsing and contorting violently.

The purple flame mark between his brows throbbed wildly, and an ominous, murky black-red color, representing the accumulation of karmic debts, began to mix into the deep purple light.

His clear, compassionate gaze was instantly replaced by a chaotic, violent, and destructive desire.

Protection? Compassion? At this moment, the resentment of all living beings, accumulated over countless years, was completely twisted and ignited!
"Pain...destruction...you...all deserve to die!"

Jin suddenly raised his head, his eyes now a chaotic purplish-black. He no longer thought of repairing, no longer thought of protecting.

The chaotic affinity within his body, amplified countless times by the demonic fetus, now transformed into the most violent destructive commands, slamming fiercely into the land beneath his feet that he had once sworn to protect with his life!
The target is the Earth Fire Lotus Heart, which maintains the last shred of balance in Luzhou's landforms!
……

……

the other side.

Laozi had just purified the Milky Way with the Myriad Spirit Pill, and the loss of his own cultivation and life essence made his originally dignified figure appear somewhat hunched.

He was gazing anxiously at the dark purple evil crystal that was eternally suppressed in the deepest part of the Tushita Palace by the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Nine demonic runes flowed across the surface of the evil crystal, emanating an unsettling tremor.

"The residual gas in the furnace has not yet dissipated; this is probably not a long-term solution..."

Before Laozi's sigh had even faded, a sudden change occurred!
"Om-!"

Deep within the Tushita Palace, the Bagua Furnace, which sealed the evil crystal, suddenly trembled violently! The purple-gold divine chains on the furnace wall emitted a series of mournful metallic groans, unable to bear the weight any longer!
The dark purple evil crystal at the bottom of the furnace seemed to have a pitch-black heart pounding violently inside!
It sensed it!
I sensed the awakening of the black lotus seed in the distant sky, and I sensed the call of the ninth demonic embryo!
The nine demonic runes on its surface suddenly lit up, bursting forth with a dark purple evil light that was even deeper and more filthy than the Tushita Purple Fire!
"puff!"

The local earth god and several mountain gods, who were struggling to purify the mine with their remaining divine power in the heart of the Kunlun Mountains, were the first to be affected!
The divine power they maintained by sealing off the source of their power was instantly backfired by the evil power erupting from the evil crystal!
It felt as if millions of poisoned steel needles were piercing his soul at the same time!

"Ugh!"

The Earth God's eyes widened in fury, and his wrinkled face instantly turned ashen. His divine soul, condensed from the essence of the mountains, was like a piece of thin paper thrown into strong acid; it was annihilated inch by inch before he could even scream, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating.

The mountain gods were the same; their bodies stiffened, the divine light in their eyes went out, and they turned into several cracked stone statues, which then crumbled into dust and returned to the Kunlun Mountain they had protected for thousands of years.

The guardian was completely devoured by the "cancer" of the land it was protecting.

"Boom--!"

Without the divine power of the mountain god and the land god to suppress it, the mineral vein, which was contaminated by the evil crystal, went completely berserk!
A purplish-black cold wave, like the Styx River bursting its banks, gushed out from the depths of the mine with destructive speed!

The remains of the miners and celestial soldiers who were killed were instantly covered with a thick layer of amethyst under the illumination of the evil light. Ghostly green flames ignited in their eye sockets, and they transformed into a torrent of amethyst corpse puppets that were even more ferocious and powerful than before. They roared out of the collapsed mine and rushed towards the remaining spiritual land of Kunlun Mountain!

The majestic Kunlun Mountains, once a sacred mountain, were instantly tarnished and turned into a hellish abyss infested with amethyst corpses!
……

……

at the same time.

"Report! It's terrible, True Lord! The Heavenly River... the Heavenly River main vein's suppressing silver scale... has cracked!!" A Heavenly River naval general, covered in blood, scrambled to Yang Jian, who was meditating at the edge of the Heavenly River with blood-stained bandages around his eyes.

The silver scale phantom that Yang Jian transformed from by gouging out his eyes was originally the last barrier to suppress the molten lava of the Milky Way and prevent the Weak Water from flowing back into the mortal realm.

Yang Jian suddenly looked up, and his remaining hearing allowed him to catch the terrifying shattering sound.

"Click...click..."

The silver scale phantom formed by his divine eye and divine blood had a massive crack appear out of thin air at its core, and it was spreading at a visible speed! The power that supported its existence came from the divine soul power and the rules of order of immortals and gods.

At this moment, the Chaotic Nightmare lies dormant within the lotus seed, but its inherently chaotic nature has already begun to silently erode the delicate balance of rules in the Three Realms.

The "Scales of Order" that Yang Jian obtained by gouging out his eyes will be the first to be affected!

"Pfft!" Yang Jian's body trembled violently, as if struck by a heavy hammer. His already weakened immortal body, weakened by the gouging out of his eyes, spat out another mouthful of blood.

He was mentally connected to the phantom of Libra, and the backlash from the phantom's collapse made his injuries even worse.

"boom--!!!!"

At that moment, the enormous silver scale phantom shattered completely!

They transformed into countless silver specks of light, instantly swallowed up by the surging chaotic lava!
Without the suppression of the Silver Scales, the violent power accumulated in the main vein of the Milky Way could no longer be restrained!

“Crash!!!!”

The waters of the Milky Way, which contain endless innate spiritual energy yet are extremely yin and cold, are like a primordial beast that has broken free of its dam. They transform into towering, turbid waves hundreds of millions of feet high, carrying fragments of chaotic lava and the lingering demonic energy, and pouring down into the mortal world where hundreds of millions of living beings dwell!

Wherever the flood passed, mountains collapsed, cities crumbled, and lives were lost.

Even more terrifying is that the invisible evil thoughts mixed in with the Weak Water, formed by the pollution of the Purifying Heart Pill's demonic silk, spread rapidly with the water flow like a plague.

Those mortals who survived the catastrophe and were still in shock, once they came into contact with this polluted water source, their eyes quickly became dull and frantic, and the darkest evil thoughts in their hearts were amplified infinitely, tearing and gnawing at each other, turning countless places into a hell on earth that was more terrifying than demons!

……

……

At the very instant that the Kunlun Evil Crystal erupted and the Heavenly River Silver Scale shattered!

The core of the Pure Land Valley in the Northern Continent of Luzhou.

Eroded by the demonic will and driven into a complete blackening rampage, Jhin unleashed a destructive roar!

His palms, burning with purplish-black flames, carrying the infinitely magnified resentment of the people of Luzhou and the chaotic affinity, slammed fiercely and without reservation onto the "Earth Fire Lotus Heart" embedded in the core node of the earth vein!
"Nezha—!"

Sun Wukong, high above in the heavens, sensed the eruption of pure destructive intent and let out a heart-wrenching roar, but it was too late to stop it.

"Crack!"

A crisp, heartbreaking cracking sound instantly echoed throughout the entire geomantic veins of Beiju Luzhou!
The "Earth Fire Lotus Heart," formed from Nezha's dying physical body, which maintained the last vestige of stability in the post-calamity Luzhou landform and symbolized sacrifice and protection, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks on its surface by Jin's all-out attack, which was filled with the will of the demonic fetus and the resentment of all living beings!

"puff…"

Deep within the earth's veins, Nezha's consciousness, which had already fallen into silence and was slowly being reshaped, was as if pierced by billions of sharp knives at the same time, letting out a muffled groan from the depths of his soul.

The lotus heart is his Dharma body, the essence of his soul!
"boom--!!!"

The Lotus Heart of Earthly Fire shattered completely!
The chaotic earth fire essence accumulated within the lotus heart and painstakingly soothed and purified by Nezha, as well as the earth fire torrent that had been simmering to its limit due to the sealing of the Heavenly River passage, lost its final restraints!

Like a volcano that had been suppressed for millions of years finding an outlet, it transformed into countless purplish-red pillars of fire that pierced the heavens and the earth, carrying a destructive will to burn the eight wastelands, and violently erupted from the Pure Karma Valley and from the countless cracks in the land of Luzhou!

Earth fires soared into the sky, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas!
Even more terrifying is that the Heavenly River Weak Water, which flowed down from the heavens, was now being pulled by some invisible force of rules, carrying with it the filth and demonic thoughts of the mortal world, and like a huge, turbid River of the Underworld, it fiercely crashed into the territory of Luzhou!

The Weak Water flows down, creating a vast expanse of water!
The primordial fire of chaos is extremely yang and violent, while the weak water of the Milky Way is extremely yin and cold; they are inherently mutually destructive.

However, guided by the chaotic demonic intent emanating from the black lotus seeds, which disrupted the rules of heaven and earth, on the Pure Karma Valley, a land that bore endless karma and sacrifices, these two destructive forces did not annihilate each other. Instead, they reacted like dry tinder and raging fire, resulting in an extremely terrifying reaction!
"laugh--!!!"

The clash between water and fire produced a piercing, sharp sound that filled the entire world!
A vast expanse of white water vapor, enough to instantly vaporize a golden immortal, shot into the sky, within which were countless dark red earth fire magma!

Ice and fire intertwine, energy annihilates and is reborn, forming a gigantic, ever-expanding energy vortex that covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles!
At the center of the vortex, the temperature and pressure reached unimaginable levels, and space was distorted and torn apart, presenting a scene of the beginning of chaos!
This is no longer a simple disaster.

This is a world-destroying furnace forcibly constructed with the entire Pure Land Valley as its center, the Northern Continent as its base, the Heavenly River and Weak Water as its guide, and the Chaotic Earth Fire as its fuel, under the catalysis of the Chaotic Demon Embryo's will—burning the Three Realms and melting all spirits!

Its power far surpasses that of the heart furnace that Sun Wukong previously forged by igniting karmic fire!

This is a true apocalyptic furnace that will drag the three realms into chaos!
Deep within the Tushita Palace, the Eight Trigrams Furnace roared violently. The evil crystal at the bottom of the furnace, which had been eternally sealed, shone brightly with its nine demonic runes, echoing the demonization of Kunlun, the collapse of the Milky Way, and the world-destroying furnace of Luzhou, as if playing a final symphony of destruction.

Yang Jian listened to the terrifying sounds of the collapsing Milky Way, the overflowing Weak Water, and the wailing of the mortal realm. He felt the worsening injuries from the shattering of the silver scales. Though his Heavenly Eye was gone, beneath the blindfold, he seemed to see a scene more horrifying than hell. He gripped his three-pointed, double-edged sword tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. Only one thought occupied his mind:
Stop this flood, even if it means being shattered to pieces!
Laozi stood atop the Purple Clouds atop Kunlun Mountain, gazing down at the ancestral mountain range that had been completely transformed into the Purple Crystal Demon Realm. He felt the desolation of the utter annihilation of the mountain gods and the land. His immortal robes fluttered in the biting cold winds, and his aged eyes held only deep sorrow and resolute determination.

The Panacea purified the affliction temporarily, but it could not purify the root of the demonic calamity.

Sun Wukong stood atop the Nine Heavens Gale, his fiery eyes piercing through the void, taking in the demonic purgatory of Kunlun, the turbid floods of the Milky Way, and the newly formed, all-consuming world-destroying furnace of Luzhou!

The black lotus seed in his hand was greedily absorbing the new, even more massive and pure karmic force of despair generated by the cataclysm that swept across the three realms. The aura of the chaotic demonic embryo within it was rising exponentially! Nine layers of demonic runes flowed and merged beneath the black lotus shell like living things.

The three foundations—the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly River, the Kunlun Earth Vein, and the Luzhou Core—were not simply destroyed. Rather, through this chain of collapses and mutual fusion, they formed a colossal and unparalleled "interlocking wheel" that was truly capable of dragging the Three Realms into ultimate chaos!
The source and core of all this is the "Nirvana-lurking" demonic lotus seed in his palm, and the young man Jin who was corrupted by demonic intent and became the source of destruction in the depths of Pure Karma Valley!
The tiny spark of hope that had just been ignited among all living beings in the Three Realms seemed so insignificant and fragile in the face of the despair sweeping across the world.

The real apocalypse seems to have only just begun.
