Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 592

Jingye Valley has become a chaotic purgatory.

The roar of the World-Destroying Furnace swallowed the sky of Beiju Luzhou.

The essence of chaotic earth fire, along with the polluted weak waters of the Milky Way, collided, annihilated, and regenerated at the core of the furnace—the original site of the shattered earth fire lotus heart.

Each tearing of energy caused the purplish-black light shield covering Luzhou to twist and deform, and the exploded chaotic light pillars tore spiderweb-like purplish-black scars into the space itself.

Deep within the furnace, the black lotus seed, which had rapidly expanded by absorbing the karmic force of the collapse of the Three Realms, greedily sucked up this destructive nourishment. The demonic patterns on its surface grew wildly and wriggled, and with each pulsation, the foundation of the Three Realms trembled violently, emitting groans of unbearable burden.

Sun Wukong hovered above the endless raging waves, his primordial golden body dimming, his golden armor already peeling away piece by piece, revealing his charred and cracked flesh and bones inside.

Only the crimson lotus mark of karmic fire on his forehead burned fiercely in the torrent of destruction, like the only lighthouse in the abyss of despair.

The red light of the mark flickered, reflecting the tragic scenes unfolding in various parts of the Three Realms: at the gap in the Milky Way, Yang Jian, whose eyes had been gouged out and whose silver robe was stained with blood, was using his mutilated body as a dam to block the evil dragon of the Weak Water that was pouring into the mortal world; in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, a resolute point of the purple flame of Doushuai, rushing towards the mountain's belly, was the last figure of Laozi.

"I, Old Sun, am here!"

A loud shout overwhelmed the roar of the furnace.

The golden cudgel flew out of his hand, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden light that tore through the chaos, and fiercely pierced into the core of the boiling furnace!

The staff vibrated and hummed, and the remnants of the "Three Realms Furnace" law that had been briefly forged were forcibly awakened, transforming into countless mysterious crimson-gold veins that struggled to spread and take root in the raging world-destroying energy.

In the next instant, Sun Wukong, like a burning meteor, plunged headlong into the most violent core sea of ​​light!

The karmic fire lotus mark on his forehead suddenly peeled off, transforming into a seed burning with karmic fire, which was precisely embedded into the chaotic and disordered core of the furnace, filled with destructive will!

The Primordial Golden Body instantly expanded to its limit, forcibly restraining the two extremely conflicting and destructive energies of Earth Fire and Weak Water, which were enough to destroy the world.

The price was a horrific disintegration. His left arm was reduced to ashes in particle-level annihilation, and the muscles of his right leg were torn apart, revealing charred, cracked bones.

The excruciating pain assaulted his soul, but his eyes remained as hard as iron, fixed on the young man, Jin, outside the furnace, who was being completely devoured by demonic thoughts and was frantically stirring up a torrent of earth fire to crash against the ravaged land.

"Jin! Wake up!" A faint yet incredibly resilient divine consciousness, brimming with tolerance and understanding, pierced through the thick fog like a sharp needle, striking Jin's mind, which had been completely corrupted by the chaotic nightmare demonic thoughts.

There was no rebuke or suppression in this divine consciousness, only the grand roar of Chapter 297, "The Way of the Buddha's Enlightenment: Karma is like a mirror, reflecting one's true nature!"

The countless hideous ghost faces conjured by the demonic thoughts twisted, shrieked, and dissipated amidst the mirror-like sound of the waves.

The chaotic origin of the earth veins of Beiju Luzhou, which was churning and roaring within Jin's body, was soothed by this all-encompassing wave. Instead of being suppressed, it was like a lost child meeting a true guide. The rage gradually subsided, and it flowed gently, revealing its original affinity and restorative power.

“Nezha…the earth veins…” In Jin’s dark purple eyes, the madness faded, and a long-lost clarity suddenly appeared.

He recognized the source of this guiding force and sensed the dying groans of the earth beneath his feet.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jin pressed his hands firmly against the scorched, burning earth. His pores opened, and the docile, primordial Chaos Affinity surged forth, no longer causing destruction. Instead, it began to guide the raging, out-of-control Earth Fire Essence, following some mysterious trajectory, towards the shattered remnants of the Earth Fire Lotus Heart buried deep underground.

"Boom——!"

A deep, yet powerful roar echoed from the depths of the earth. The already shattered and dimmed remains of the "Earthfire Lotus Heart" trembled violently under the nourishment of this familiar and welcoming earthfire essence!
Deep within the lotus heart, a faint yet incredibly resilient will of pure light was awakened by this shared aura—it was Nezha!

The will that had been integrated into the earth's veins and lay dormant in protection was briefly revived under the guidance of Ember and nourished by the essence of earth fire!

A phantom of pure light, condensed from the pure will to protect, rose from the remnants of the lotus heart. Though illusory, it carried the lingering charm of the Pure Lotus and the indomitable fighting spirit of Nezha.

The chaotic affinity guided by the phantom and the ashes instantly merged! An incredible scene unfolded: the tattered lotus petals began to slowly heal and unfold in the surging torrent of earth fire, and the broken roots once again deeply pierced the veins of the Luzhou land.

The raging, world-destroying torrent suddenly halted, as if gripped by an invisible giant hand, its ferocity diminishing somewhat.

A gap in the Milky Way, a living hell.

The Weak Water, carrying the evil thoughts corrupted by the Chaotic Nightmare and the cries of billions of living beings, transformed into a filthy and ferocious evil dragon, madly rushing towards the mortal world where fireworks have faded.

Yang Jian knelt on the shattered phantom of the silver scales, golden-red immortal blood still flowing from the blood hole where his eyes had been gouged out, his divine power long since depleted like a dried-up swamp.

The gouging out of the Heavenly Eye not only caused the power to dissipate, but also shook the foundation of the godhood.

He could feel life slipping away.

Just as consciousness was about to sink into darkness, a faint yet incredibly pure and warm power of belief was drawn out with difficulty from the heart—it was the incense and faith that had lingered for thousands of years at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, gathering the most simple prayers of countless mortals!
It is the trust and reliance that mortals have in "the Manifestation of the Holy Erlang Zhenjun"!
"I have received your offerings and prayers... Today, I shall return them!"

Yang Jian let out a low but resolute roar, pouring all the remaining power in his body and the gathered incense and faith into the shattered phantom of the silver scales!

Buzz! The light of faith surged! The shattered phantom of the silver scales instantly solidified, transforming into a dam of faith that stretched across the sky, forged by the beliefs of billions of mortals. Golden and silver light intertwined, forcefully locking back the surging, monstrous dragon of the Weak Water!
The evil dragon roared and struggled, the murky weak water crashed against the dam, and the light of its faith flickered uncertainly.

But this dam of faith can only temporarily block it. The bottomless, fatal breach continues to widen slowly but steadily, with the evil power of the Weak Water gushing out endlessly.

The dam won't hold for long.

A calm smile appeared on Yang Jian's blood-stained lips.

He abruptly looked up at the gaping hole that had swallowed everything, his eyes now devoured without hesitation. His immortal bones—the foundation upon which his divine status had been forged and tempered for millennia—suddenly erupted with the final, most intense, pure divine light!
His entire being transformed into a silver meteor burning with life and divinity, carrying a resolute determination to go without turning back, and crashed headlong into the core of the evil dragon, into the gap in the Milky Way!

boom--! ! !
The primordial essence of the immortal bones, the evil power of the Weak Water, and the chaotic demonic thoughts exploded in blinding light amidst the annihilation. The widening gap was forcefully blocked by this burning immortal bone body!
The rampaging Weak Water Evil Dragon let out a mournful cry of resentment and was temporarily imprisoned back in the Heavenly Riverbed.

The silver light dimmed and dissipated completely. Yang Jian's broken body, like a hawk with broken wings, fell towards the mortal world he had briefly saved, now ravaged by the last glimmer of his faith, with the last glimmer of his belief.

The heart of the Kunlun Mountains, a hell of frigid tides.

The amethyst zombie horde had completely submerged the mine entrance, and the biting purplish-black cold wave froze the mountain rocks, even the air itself seemed to freeze.

Laozi stood atop the Bagua Furnace, his snow-white Taoist robe fluttering in the foul energy radiated by the evil crystal, like a lone sail in a storm.

His deep gaze was fixed on the dark purple evil crystal at the bottom of the furnace, pulsating with the ninth complete demonic rune. The heart-palpitating fluctuations emanating from it were the source of the mineral vein pollution and the zombie horde, and also one of the core elements responding to the world-destroying furnace of the Pure Karma Valley.

“Fellow Daoist… even in the path of alchemy, there are martyrs!” All the sorrow and worry on Laozi’s face had faded away, leaving only a clear and resolute expression and the calm of a martyr.

He suddenly lunged towards the Bagua alchemy furnace that had accompanied him for hundreds of millions of years!
“Buzz——!!!”

The purple flames of the Tushita Heaven have never burned so brightly!

The furnace fire erupted instantly from the inside out, no longer the gentle fire for alchemy, but a purifying holy flame that burned away all impurities!
The entire Bagua Furnace transformed into a purple sun, crashing into the deepest part of the Kunlun Mountain core! The purest and most yang purple fire instantly swept in all directions. Wherever it passed, the hideous amethyst corpse puppets were like ice meeting boiling water. Before they could even let out a wail, they turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated.

The terrifying purplish-black cold wave was driven back and dissolved by this unparalleled purifying light.

Laozi's figure quickly became transparent in the flames.

His flesh and blood, his soul, and the supreme Dao fruit he had cultivated throughout his life all transformed into the purest Douluo Purple Flame at this moment, burning without reservation!
This Dao Fire, fueled by life and existence, tightly enveloped the evil crystal origin that was struggling to break free and frantically flashing its demonic runes in resistance.

The light of purification clashed fiercely with the evil forces of filth and annihilation.

The evil crystal emitted a desperate shriek that pierced the soul. The ninth demonic rune twisted violently, attempting to draw upon the deeper power of the Nine Netherworlds, but it could not withstand the martyrdom that burned everything.

Finally, in a silent yet violent tremor that shook the very soul of the mountain, the resistance of the evil crystal completely collapsed, and its filthy core and the figure of Laozi returned to nothingness together.

The groans of the Kunlun Mountains ceased abruptly, and all was silent.

Deep within the mountain, only a pure, eternal essence of purple fire, containing the power to nurture life and the supreme meaning of alchemy, remains. Like an indestructible star, it is deeply imprinted in the deepest part of the Kunlun Mountain soul, silently guarding this land that survived the calamity.

The zombie horde collapsed, the cold tide dissipated, and the Kunlun calamity temporarily subsided, at the cost of the Dao Ancestor's complete annihilation.

At the core of the Annihilation Furnace, the karmic fire and red lotus mark have almost merged with the raging furnace heart, like a reef in a raging storm, barely maintaining the last fragile balance.

However, outside the furnace, the gap in the Heavenly River Weak Water was blocked by Yang Jian's sacrifice, and the Kunlun Evil Crystal was refined by Laozi, causing the energy from the two sources of disaster to suddenly stop flowing back!

The world-destroying energy accumulated inside the Pure Karma Valley's World-Destroying Furnace, a mixture of earth fire, weak water, corpse evil pollution, and the karma of all living beings, lost its two outlets and was instantly devoured by the black lotus seed at the center, which had already expanded to its limit!

"Boo--!"

A soft sound, like the beginning of the universe or the end of all things, rang out. The lotus seed exploded completely!
A skeletal being, consisting only of a human-shaped outline and made of pure, dark purple-black, sinister crystals, stepped out from it!
Its entire body shimmered with a destructive luster, and it carried three thick chains of karma formed from the evil thoughts of the Heavenly River Weak Water, the raging chaos of the Earthly Fire, and the twisted resentment of the Kunlun Corpse Fiend.

The chains rattled, each sway resonating with the calamities of the Three Realms. It was the final form of the chaotic demonic embryo, born from the accumulated evil karma of the Three Realms and the ultimate transformation of the chaotic nightmare!
The demonic fetus's hollow eye sockets "looked" down at Sun Wukong, who was on the verge of complete collapse. A karmic chain, bound by the triple calamities of sinking into the Weak Water, burning in the Earth Fire, and the resentment of the Corpse Fiend, lashed out like a world-destroying poisonous whip, carrying the will to judge all things!

Click!
The Crimson Lotus Mark of Karmic Fire emitted a mournful cry, its light suddenly dimming under the unbearable weight.

Sun Wukong's golden body, already covered with spiderweb-like cracks, let out a final mournful cry the moment the chains struck him, and countless blazing white, dazzling soul lights shot out from the cracks!
The golden body is about to completely collapse! The will of Jin and Nezha outside the furnace let out a silent, desperate scream.

Just as the golden body was about to completely shatter and the soul light was about to dissipate, the karmic chains that had been pulled out slowed down infinitely before Sun Wukong's "eyes".

The Buddha's words of enlightenment, transcending time and space, resounded once again with unparalleled clarity in his heart: "Karma is a mirror... reflecting oneself... reflecting one's own image."

The demonic fetus, forged from the resentment, greed, anger, ignorance, pride, doubt, and all destructive impulses that the beings of the Three Realms could not resolve, was now clearly reflected in his mind—not an enemy, but rather a chronic disease accumulated within the Three Realms themselves!
It is the evil consequence of the imbalance of heaven and earth and the depravity of human hearts!

Destroying it is merely destroying the container that bears the evil consequences; the original karma will still seek another host until the Three Realms are completely annihilated.

"It must not be destroyed..."

A smile, clear and compassionate, unexpectedly appeared on Sun Wukong's blood-stained lips. The Karmic Fire Red Lotus Mark suddenly reversed its rotation!

It was no longer suppression, no longer resistance, but transformed into a vortex core that encompasses all things and carries all things!

The karmic chains drawn by the demonic fetus were instantly swallowed and contained by this reverse vortex.

At the same time, his golden body, which was on the verge of collapse and covered with cracks, spontaneously dispersed!

Every solid bone and every drop of boiling essence blood transformed into a crimson-gold liquid flowing with Sanskrit golden light and profound Taoist patterns!
This flow of liquid, carrying the protective obsession of "Heart of the Great Heaven" and the lingering charm of the flawless Dao fruit, is like the gentlest yet most resilient mother, actively embracing the demonic embryo crystal skeleton that exudes endless destructive aura!
"Roar--!!!"

The Chaos Demon Embryo let out a roar filled with shock, anger, and bewilderment.

Its purplish-black, malevolent crystalline remains were enveloped and permeated by the crimson gold nectar, while the chains of karma struggled and lashed wildly, turning the world-destroying furnace upside down and shattering space inch by inch.

However, the flowing golden liquid displayed an unprecedented power of inclusiveness and transformation.

It permeates every crevice of the crystalline remains, encompassing the pure destructive will originating from the chaotic nightmare within the core of the demonic embryo, guiding, melting, and reforging its violent destructive energy!
