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

Inside the Hundred Dynasty Forest, within a mountain range, all members of the Flame Alliance were watching intently as Lin Dong and Xiao Yan underwent their tribulations atop the mountain peak.

Around them, the force of their Yuan Power surged like a tangible storm, spreading wildly. Within a radius of several dozen meters, the ground cracked, and every tree withered before disintegrating into dust.

The fourth Nirvana Tribulation was no minor challenge, yet for Lin Dong and Xiao Yan, it didn’t appear deadly. Both had incredibly powerful bodies, stronger than most Four-Yuan Nirvana practitioners. Given their resilience, their chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation were easily seventy or eighty percent—a success rate most cultivators could only dream of.

Suddenly, there was a surge of Yuan Power from the peak that shattered the night’s cool stillness with blazing heat.

”Lin Dong and Xiao Yan are about to complete their tribulation…” Some Flame Alliance members, already familiar with the process, watched with excitement and admiration. As two of the Flame Alliance’s strongest forces, their breakthroughs would surely elevate the entire Alliance’s power.

In the next instant, two red beams shot skyward, tearing apart the darkness within a hundred-mile radius.

With the light came an awe-inspiring roar that echoed through the forest. Xiao Yan’s tiger-like roar radiated his immense power, while Lin Dong’s breakthrough occurred with quiet ease, much like a mountain stream—elegant and composed. Though their styles differed, it also indicated Lin Dong’s impressive control over his Yuan Power.

”They succeeded!”

As the breakthrough ended, Lin Langtian and Little Marten quickly approached, their eyes filled with expectation.

Lin Dong and Xiao Yan both nodded, unable to hide their excitement. Their power, combined with their talents, allowed them to rival even some Five-Yuan Nirvana practitioners—and in Lin Dong’s case, even surpass them. With full effort, Lin Dong could likely defeat some Six-Yuan Nirvana experts as well.

”Hey, Jinwu, now I’m at Four-Yuan Nirvana! How about you admit I’m your fourth big brother?” Xiao Yan grinned and nudged Jinwu, evidently pleased to finally match his strength.

Jinwu gave a dismissive snort. ”Sure, but strength matters more than words, and we’ll have to see who’s really stronger.” Though Xiao Yan had just reached Four-Yuan Nirvana, Jinwu, being a Nine-Headed Golden Crow, was no ordinary opponent.

Lin Langtian laughed, watching the friendly banter, and then turned to Lin Dong, patting his shoulder approvingly. ”Remarkable work. You’ve become a Four-Yuan Nirvana in only a year in the Hundred Dynasty Battlefield.”

Lin Dong smiled, ”Still, it’s nothing compared to you, Brother Langtian.”

Lin Langtian’s smile grew as he announced to the group, ”Let’s rest here tonight. Tomorrow, we move on.”

Two Days Later, in Another Part of the Forest

In a quiet grove, a fierce surge of Yuan Power suddenly erupted, scorching the ground and reducing the nearby trees to ash. Such a powerful disturbance drew attention, and soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard as figures emerged from the trees, watching with intrigue.

But when they saw who was engaged in the conflict, their expressions shifted.

”It’s Lin Langtian! And the Flame Alliance!”

”They’re fighting the Daluo Dynasty. Unlucky for them to have drawn the Flame Alliance’s attention.”

”True, but it’s because the Daluo Dynasty holds one of the Four Great Demonic Inheritances. With Lin Langtian and Lin Dong both wielding the Four Supreme Heavens’ inheritances, they and the Four Demonic Clans are natural enemies.”

”It’s hard to believe how quickly the Flame Alliance is taking down these dynasties. First the Bloodseal Dynasty, then the Bonejade Dynasty yesterday, and now the Daluo Dynasty. That only leaves the Heaven Demon Dynasty.”

”Maybe they’ll let the Heaven Demon Dynasty off since it’s a top-ten Super Dynasty and has ties to the Tianyuan Dynasty. But if Lin Langtian could kill Zhao Wuji without hesitation, I’m not sure even someone like Qin Tian could stop him.”

Meanwhile, the intense whispers in the crowd did nothing to distract from the fierce battle playing out before them.

In a mountain forest within the Hundred Dynasty Forest, all eyes of the Flame Alliance members were focused on Lin Dong and Xiao Yan as they braved their Nirvana Tribulation atop the mountain peak.

Surrounding them, their powerful Yuan Power condensed to the point it was almost visible, spreading wildly outward. Within dozens of meters, the ground dried and cracked, and nearby trees withered to dust.

The Fourth Nirvana Tribulation was no small ordeal, but it was not deadly for Lin Dong and Xiao Yan. Both had bodies of exceptional resilience, stronger than many Four-Yuan Nirvana practitioners, giving them about a seventy to eighty percent chance of success—a figure most could only envy.

”Damn it, Lin Langtian! Does your Flame Alliance intend to wipe us all out?” roared Xiao Shan, leader of the Daluo Dynasty, visibly fearful as he looked at Lin Langtian and his allies.

”The Four Supreme Sects and the Four Demon Sects have been sworn enemies for ages,” Lin Langtian replied indifferently. ”Why pretend it’s any different now?”

Two days earlier, following Lin Dong and Xiao Yan’s successful breakthroughs, the Flame Alliance had resumed its journey. With Mo Ling’s exceptional intelligence skills, they soon discovered the Bone Jade Dynasty’s location, which led Lin Langtian to wipe them out entirely. And now, with the Daluo Dynasty surrounded, three out of the Four Demon Sects within the Di Sha Alliance were on the verge of annihilation by Lin Langtian’s hand.

”Damn it! Spirit of the Zhu Yan Demon!” Xiao Shan, realizing Lin Langtian’s relentlessness, shouted in rage as he stretched his arms outward, his body trembling violently. In the next instant, a surge of dark red energy erupted from his chest like a volcano, forming a massive, fiery red beast over a hundred meters tall under the startled gazes of onlookers.

The beast was ape-like, with limbs as strong as red copper and a head as radiant as white jade. This was the Zhu Yan Demon Beast—a creature of unparalleled ferocity from the ancient times, emanating primordial energy, as if it had been summoned straight from antiquity.

”Roar!” The giant beast bellowed, casting a huge shadow as it lifted its enormous paw, which tore through the air with terrifying power, aiming to crush Lin Langtian.

”Hmph, an ant.” Lin Langtian sneered. With a sweep of his hand, fiery energy surged forth, transforming his hand into a blazing red avian claw, with flaming feathers forming from his palm. He unleashed it upon the demon, ripping the Zhu Yan beast apart in a fiery blaze, leaving Xiao Shan defenseless against the flames that swiftly closed in on him.

With a thundering impact, the force tore through Xiao Shan, who coughed blood as his strength waned. In the same instant, Lin Langtian seized Xiao Shan’s hand, absorbing the vibrant, golden Heavenly Nirvana Seal contained within. The purple-gold hue of his own Nirvana Seal deepened as he claimed the prize.

As Lin Langtian finished off Xiao Shan, Lin Dong and the others swiftly wiped out the remaining members of the Daluo Dynasty, bringing an end to three of the four core dynasties of the Di Sha Alliance.

Having absorbed the Nirvana Seals from these defeated dynasties, the entire Flame Alliance’s collective seal levels rose significantly. Alongside Lin Langtian, Lin Dong and the others saw their seals taking on a richly purple-gold hue. Additionally, two more Heavenly Nirvana Seals were acquired by Mo Ling and Su Kui.

”Move out; let’s head for Hundred Dynasty Mountain,” Lin Langtian instructed after the battlefield was cleared. After several days in the Hundred Dynasty Forest, nearly all the dynasties and their strongest warriors were converging toward Hundred Dynasty Mountain. Although the Heaven Demon Dynasty’s exact location remained unknown, they were certain to be found there. Instead of searching blindly, they would wait and let their enemies come to them.

Word of the Daluo Dynasty’s fall spread rapidly, much like the news of the Bloodseal and Bone Jade Dynasties before it. The Flame Alliance had eliminated three Super Dynasties in one sweep, causing a significant ripple through the core region, and particularly striking fear in the remaining Heaven Demon Dynasty.

Yet as one of the top ten Super Dynasties, the Heaven Demon Dynasty was not resigned to defeat. Though the Flame Alliance had proven fearsome, the three ”Demon Lords” of the Song family were no ordinary opponents.

With no further delays, Lin Langtian and his group pressed onward. By midday on the second day, their pace finally slowed. They stopped atop a towering tree, eyes keenly fixed on the view ahead.

Before them stretched a vast, basin-like forest that seemed to have no end. A dense and fierce energy emanated from within. And in the center of this wilderness loomed an imposing mountain, its peak flattened as if cleaved by a massive hand. The thousand-foot-tall mountain was unmissable against the horizon, radiating a unique aura from its summit.

”So, that’s Hundred Dynasty Mountain…” Lin Langtian murmured, gazing at the towering peak.

Lin Dong, Mo Ling, and the others watched in excitement, reflecting on a year’s worth of trials and struggles that had finally led them to this ultimate destination.

”Haha, Hundred Dynasty Mountain, we’ve finally arrived!” roared another voice, as thousands of people streamed in from every direction, brimming with anticipation. Reaching this place represented a fierce triumph in and of itself, the reward of relentless effort and perseverance.

As the sky above the wilderness became a cacophony of excited shouts, Lin Dong asked, ”So, what’s our next move?”

”Those gathered here will enter the Hundred Dynasty Forest for the final battle. Only those who make it onto the Nirvana Golden Rankings will have the right to ascend that mountain.”

Lin Langtian was about to respond when a sweet voice reached his ears. Surprised, everyone turned to find a figure in blue standing on a tree nearby.

The figure wore azure robes, with a face as fair as snow, a delicate nose, and brows like crescents. Though dressed as a man, her soft features betrayed her identity as a woman.

The young woman in blue, her eyes sparkling with interest, looked over at Lin Langtian and his team.

”Thank you for the information,” Lin Langtian replied, raising an eyebrow.

The woman smiled and extended a slender hand. ”You must be Lin Langtian, leader of the Flame Alliance? I’ve heard quite a bit about you, especially how you defeated the Great Zhao Dynasty. It’s been many years since a lower-tier dynasty produced someone like you—and with five such talents, no less.”

With a charming smile, she continued, ”I am Lan Ying, from the Celestial Dynasty.”

As she introduced herself, she extended her hand gracefully. In her palm shone a Nirvana Seal with a distinctive purple-gold hue—a symbol of her place on the Nirvana Golden Rankings.

Lin Langtian, calm and composed, reached out and lightly touched her hand, her cool, delicate skin both compelling and intriguing.

”Lin Langtian, of the Great Yan Dynasty.”
