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

With a piercing cry, the enormous Phoenix in flames loomed over the sky, its fiery presence like a harbinger of the apocalypse. Now stretching over a hundred meters across, the Vermilion Phoenix radiated a scorching aura that filled even Qin Tian’s face with dread, despite his Six Yuan Nirvana realm.

Everyone on the mountain felt the raw, destructive energy seeping from the fiery Phoenix. They knew instinctively that any defense they could muster would crumble before this inferno.

Once the shock passed, a glimmer of hope began to show on their faces. If Lin Langtian could use this power to drive away the intruders from the Western Mystic Region, the crisis on Mount Hundred Dynasties would be over.

”Is this the legendary Vermilion Phoenix Flames from ancient times? Incredible, Lin Langtian is wielding its power with devastating force!” whispered one of the invaders from the Western Mystic Region, visibly shaken by the power radiating from the fiery Phoenix above. Even they couldn’t suppress their fear—without their Pure Primordial Treasure, they would have already fled from the battlefield.

”Brother Cao…” They all turned to Cao Yu, who wore a grim expression. His face betrayed a flicker of unease as he watched the Vermilion Phoenix’s flames expand across the sky.

”Don’t worry. We won’t be defeated!” Cao Yu’s gaze hardened as he took a step forward, hands weaving rapidly in a sequence of seals.

”Seal the Heavens, Binding Seal Array!”

At Cao Yu’s command, the space above him began to distort, forming tears from which enormous chains of black light shot forth. The chains snaked and intertwined in midair, creating a massive black seal that surged towards Lin Langtian, an aura of oppressive power radiating from it.

As the gigantic black seal hurtled toward Lin Langtian, his eyes opened slowly, a slight, almost amused smile curling his lips. ”Come on, then.”

The black seal sped into the radius of his searing flames. The fiery Phoenix in the sky trembled and, in a split second, unleashed a blinding torrent of crimson fire, burning through the heavens. The flames collided with the black seal, igniting it with a burst of violent energy. Under the fire’s wrath, the seal grew dull and cracked, and with a final, thunderous explosion, it shattered completely, consumed by the relentless blaze.

Cao Yu staggered, a muffled grunt of pain escaping his lips. His face twisted with fury as he glared at Lin Langtian. ”How could he be this strong!”

”Brother Cao, this isn’t looking good. We need to call in Brother Mo Tong and the others guarding the outer space!” said another of the Western Mystic Region warriors, his voice tinged with alarm.

Cao Yu scowled but nodded reluctantly. One of his comrades immediately retrieved a shining orb from his pouch and crushed it. A golden light shot out from it, vanishing beyond the spatial barriers.

”Brother Cao, Mo Tong and the others will need time to get here. What should we do in the meantime?” another warrior asked, his face pale as he watched the sky ablaze.

Cao Yu narrowed his eyes at Lin Langtian, who stood undeterred amidst the flames. He clenched his fists, trying to mask the unease gnawing at him, and growled, ”No need to panic! Even if he’s reached the Seven Yuan Nirvana stage, I refuse to believe he can overcome me, the Heaven-Sealing Array, and the power of a Pure Primordial Treasure!”

The others looked uncertain but fell silent, acknowledging that with the Heaven-Sealing Array’s power, they still had a chance to withstand Lin Langtian’s assault.

Meanwhile, Lin Langtian gazed calmly down at Cao Yu and his group. Smiling, he raised a hand and gestured. Above him, the blazing Phoenix began to shift in response, its enormous mouth gaping open like the barrel of a fearsome cannon, locking on to Cao Yu below.

Within the Phoenix’s maw, fiery light surged, emitting a powerful aura of destruction that twisted the air around it. Even before the flames had been unleashed, those near the Phoenix could feel an overwhelming heat pressing down on them.

”Putting on a show, huh? Let’s see if you can actually harm me!” Cao Yu snapped, his eyes glinting with rage. His hands moved swiftly, forming a new array of seals, and the space around him convulsed. Black light poured from it, forming a massive array—a hundred-meter Heaven-Sealing Array—that hovered in the sky like a titanic shield, emanating a gravitational pull that seemed to ground the heavens themselves.

As the black Heaven-Sealing Array materialized, Lin Langtian’s eyes flickered with fire. His mouth twisted into a cold, mocking smile, exuding an aura of chilling confidence. He wanted the world to see the true might of the Vermilion Phoenix Flames.

Raising his hand, Lin Langtian made a simple gesture, pointing forward with a single finger. Amidst the blazing inferno, a resounding command echoed through the heavens:

”Go!”

With just one word, a searing flash of fire erupted from the Vermilion Phoenix’s open beak, like a volcanic eruption held back for millennia, now bursting forth with deafening intensity.

Boom!

The entire sky seemed to tremble as the colossal pillar of flame, stretching over a hundred meters, tore through the heavens. With an earth-shaking impact, it slammed into the dark array.

The instant the fiery pillar struck, silence engulfed everything. A second later, a blinding surge of crimson flames collided with the dark aura, filling the sky with a fierce clash of light and shadow. The red inferno spread outward like a wild flood, consuming everything in its path. Even the dark array itself appeared to melt under the intense heat.

It was said in ancient times that the Vermilion Phoenix Flames could incinerate the dark aura of otherworldly demons. Now, against the power of the Pure Primordial Treasure, its destructive force roared, igniting the mountains and scorching the land.

On the mountaintop, everyone stared in awe at the raging crimson flames. Their faces reflected both shock and relief.

”Unbelievable… this victory is Lin Langtian’s for sure,” Blue Sakura murmured, her voice tinged with awe. Lin Langtian’s strength rivaled that of some core disciples from the most elite sects, and with the resources a super sect could provide, his rise would be truly unstoppable.

The other elites from various dynasties nodded in agreement, admiration and respect in their eyes. Even those usually too proud to acknowledge another’s power could not deny Lin Langtian’s dominance.

Meanwhile, Qin Tian, watching from the sidelines, clenched his fists tightly, bitterness in his gaze. He could only look on in shock and envy as Lin Langtian, someone from a lesser dynasty, became the hero of the hour—the one everyone looked up to.

That was supposed to be his role!

Suppressing his resentment, Qin Tian acknowledged the gap in strength. Lin Langtian’s power was now enough to incite fear.

”Brother Cao, the array isn’t holding up against him!” A voice shook with panic among the group from the Western Mystic Region, as they watched the dark array tremble under the flames.

”Where is Mo Tong and his team?” Cao Yu growled, his expression dark.

”They’re being blocked! I think our intel was leaked because the elites from the Eastern Mystic Region’s super sects are now pushing through!” the response came, pale-faced.

”The elite forces from the Eastern Mystic Region…” Cao Yu’s expression shifted in realization.

”Brother Cao, the array is breaking!”

At the warning shout, Cao Yu looked up just in time to see thin cracks spreading across the suspended dark array. His heart sank, and he gritted his teeth, knowing there was no way to salvage the situation.

Crack! Crack!

The cracking sounds grew louder until the dark array was covered in fractures.

”Retreat!” he ordered, his voice tight with frustration, as he motioned for his team to fall back.

”The array’s shattered… Lin Langtian won!”

On the mountaintop, those watching broke into cheers. They knew that, without the protection of the array, Cao Yu and his allies had lost their strongest weapon. Lin Langtian had not only triumphed over Cao Yu but had become the undisputed champion.

Boom!

The array shattered, releasing waves of intense flames that swept over the battlefield like a vengeful Vermilion Phoenix, intent on reducing everything to ashes.

”Damn it, is this not over yet?!” Cao Yu and his team recoiled, their faces paling as they saw the unrelenting flames approaching.

”Everyone, attack together!” Cao Yu shouted in desperation.

They braced to unleash their combined power, but, just as they were about to strike, the raging fire swept overhead and raced forward without targeting them.

Cao Yu’s eyes widened in shock. ”He’s going to free the super sects’ elites!”

The searing flames tore through the void with blinding speed, rushing toward the dark rune prison where the eight super sect elders from the Eastern Mystic Region were trapped.

Lin Langtian knew that taking down Cao Yu’s team would not end the threat. The only way to turn the tide was to release the super sect elites. Only they had the power to finish this battle once and for all; relying on his strength alone wasn’t enough.

”Cao Yu, what are you doing?!” A furious voice echoed from the prison. The top fighters from the Western Mystic Region, who had been trapping the eight super sect elders, were alarmed by the sudden blaze, their faces filled with disbelief.

They were locked in an intense clash with the likes of Liu Tong from Yuan Gate and the Elder from Dao Sect. One disruption could tip the balance.

Cao Yu felt the crushing weight of failure as he watched the crimson fire surge toward the prison.

Boom!

The scarlet flames crashed into the prison with unstoppable force, shaking the heavens. Cao Yu watched, horrified, as deep cracks splintered across the dark rune prison’s surface.

It was over…

As the cracks appeared, a terrible realization dawned on him. Their plan, crafted with such precision, was about to fail—and all because of a single warrior from a lowly dynasty.
