Wu dong Qian Kun: I, Lin Langtian, Refuse to be a Supporting Character

An ancient, terrifying roar erupted from beneath the collapsing platform, and a blood-red beam of light suddenly shot into the sky!

”Hiss—hiss!”

The blood-red light streaked across the heavens, and any unfortunate soul it touched was instantly torn apart. Blood rained down from the sky, punctuated by piercing screams of pain.

Amid the chaos, a massive shadow surged out of the ground, its bloody wings flaring. A violent gale swept through the land, scattering sand and stone in all directions.

”Is that the guardian beast of the treasure?” Lin Langtian murmured, his brows arching as he gazed at the gigantic creature emerging from the depths.

Suspended in the sky, a monstrous beast over a hundred meters long hovered. Its entire body was covered in blood-red scales, and its enormous body coiled like a dragon. Two massive, blood-streaked wings unfurled from its back.

”Roar!”

The creature let out an ear-splitting roar. The resulting shockwave caused the unfortunate souls nearby to clutch their bleeding ears as they stumbled backward, horrified.

Seeing how fearsome the beast was, several onlookers scrambled backward in terror.

”It’s an Ancient Blood Bat Dragon!” Lin Luo, standing next to Lin Langtian, quickly whispered. ”Langtian, this beast’s strength is formidable. We should set up the Four Symbols Formation with the combined forces of the Four Great Clans!”

Lin Langtian paused, then shook his head. Although this Blood Bat Dragon was powerful, rivaling warriors at the peak of the Creation Stage, he doubted it would require such a complex arrangement to deal with it.

With a calm expression, Lin Langtian took a step forward, drawing everyone’s gaze.

Most of the onlookers had heard of Lin Langtian’s reputation, but very few had actually seen him in action. Now, they watched with keen curiosity as he prepared to challenge this Ancient Blood Bat Dragon alone. They wanted to see just how powerful the supposed number one genius of the Great Yan Dynasty truly was.

”Roar!”

Sensing Lin Langtian’s strength, the Blood Bat Dragon opened its massive jaws, releasing a blast of blood-red energy directly at him. Lin Langtian remained unfazed. A fiery glow enveloped him, and with a single punch, he shattered the blood-red energy.

”Boom!”

A terrifying explosion resounded as Lin Langtian’s punch obliterated the blood-red energy, which would have severely injured any lesser warrior at the peak of the Creation Stage.

Without pause, he darted forward and struck the beast with another heavy punch, landing squarely on its massive body.

”Bang!”

Although it appeared to be a simple punch, Lin Langtian’s Three-Mark Black Flame Body amplified his power to the level of a mountain crashing down. Unable to withstand the force of the attack, the Blood Bat Dragon let out a painful wail, its scales shattering and purplish blood pouring out in streams that sizzled against the ground below.

With yet another devastating punch, Lin Langtian sent the beast reeling. The Blood Bat Dragon let out one last weakened roar before retreating, trailing blood as it fled into the distance.

”The guardian beast is retreating!”

As the Blood Bat Dragon limped away, the crowd erupted in cheers. Their eyes shifted in admiration to Lin Langtian, who had managed to drive off such a powerful foe with just three strikes.

Even the other three great clans stared in awe. Their elders would struggle to defeat the Blood Bat Dragon so easily, yet Lin Langtian had managed it almost effortlessly. Was he truly that extraordinary?

Huangpu Jing, watching from afar, was equally stunned. Only now did she understand how vast the gap between her and Lin Langtian truly was. ”Maybe… Qingzhu wasn’t wrong about him,” she whispered softly to herself.

Amid the reverent gazes directed his way, Lin Langtian remained unbothered, his eyes fixed intently on the ruined platform below. That was where the real treasure awaited.

After a brief moment, Lin Langtian sprang forward, heading toward the underground palace. Although the palace’s primary guardian was far more formidable than the Blood Bat Dragon, Lin Langtian carried a token from the Black-Eyed Elder. With this token, he felt confident in exploring the palace’s depths.

As Lin Langtian flew off, a series of whooshes echoed behind him as others followed suit, each driven by the allure of the sect’s treasure. Among them, however, Lin Dong did not follow.

As greed and excitement surged among the others, Lin Dong merely smiled, giving a gentle pat to his mount, Xiao Yan, who flapped his Thunder Wings and chased after the retreating Blood Bat Dragon.

With the information provided by the Stele Spirit, Lin Dong understood that the guardian beast was only the first obstacle. Those who ventured into the underground palace were bound to face unimaginable peril. The ancient remains waiting within would surely make anyone realize that, even after thousands of years, this ancient sect’s relics were not to be taken lightly. It was a death trap, and those who entered would likely perish.

Still, Lin Dong found himself curious as to why Lin Langtian, who had also received the same warnings, was still willing to dive into the palace. Shaking his head, he decided to focus on his own goal—the Blood Bat Dragon. As for Lin Langtian, with all his mysterious methods, Lin Dong figured he probably had some hidden trump card.

Elsewhere, Lin Langtian’s incredible speed allowed him to reach the underground palace quickly. Following the Stele Spirit’s instructions, he navigated through the labyrinthine palace until he arrived at the main hall.

Suspended in the air within the hall were countless Nirvana Pills. Lin Langtian’s spiritual senses tallied their number—100,000 pills in total.

One hundred thousand Nirvana Pills!

Seeing such an overwhelming amount of Nirvana Pills, a thrill ran through Lin Langtian, but just as he felt a surge of excitement, a wave of foreboding washed over him.

On the throne within the grand hall, the seemingly lifeless skeleton began to lift its head. A crushing aura flooded the room, pressing down on Lin Langtian with the weight of a mountain, leaving him struggling to breathe.
