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

Within the Devouring Realm, terrifying flames erupted, surging towards the heavens.

A resonant cry echoed clearly from amidst those flames, and in an instant, the overwhelming blaze transformed into a majestic fiery phoenix spanning a thousand feet, exuding a horrifying power.

Beneath that phoenix of flame stood an enchanting figure clad in red armor. Her fiery red hair gently swayed in the breeze, and her flawless, captivating face was now filled with a chilling murderous intent.

Boom! Boom!

Raging flames swirled around Tang Xinlian like a roaring tornado, the pressure causing the air itself to screech under the intense heat. The aura she emitted was tremendously frightening.

All around, countless eyes were drawn irresistibly toward the beautiful woman bathed in the sea of flames, awe filling their gazes. Within the Chaotic Demon Sea, Tang Xinlian’s reputation was evidently just as renowned as her exquisite beauty.

”Haha, as expected of the Flame Fairy of Flame God Temple. Such courage is truly rare.”

”And that Flame Ancestral Symbol—it’s indeed Lord Moro’s signature power. Its strength is terrifying.”

”With the Flame Fairy’s intervention, it seems we’re finally saved!”

Witnessing the heroic figure of Tang Xinlian and the immense fire phoenix she summoned, relief appeared on the faces of the surrounding experts as murmurs of excitement spread through the crowd.

In the Chaotic Demon Sea, the strength of Flame God Temple and its Flame Ancestral Symbol were universally acknowledged. Even the expressions of the three Yuan Gate Chiefs darkened upon witnessing her power.

”Damn it! How did Flame God Temple get involved in this?” The Earth Chief’s voice trembled with unease at the sight of the fiery phoenix, well aware that Ancestral Symbols were natural counters to the Yimo.

The Heaven Chief’s expression was equally grim. However, after closely observing Tang Xinlian’s flame, his eyes narrowed slightly. ”Strangely, the Flame Ancestral Symbol’s aura seems somewhat impure. It’s not the complete symbol. Rest assured, it won’t be so easy to kill our lord. If the Flame God Temple’s Lord Moro himself were here, perhaps he could pose a threat. But a mere girl is no significant problem.”

Hearing this, the Earth Chief nodded slightly. The Human Chief, however, glanced warily at Lin Langtian, frowning. ”This little brat won’t cause more trouble, will he?”

”Hmph, once our lord fully revives, it will be the end for that brat—and his precious Tianfu as well,” sneered the Heaven Chief maliciously.

On the other side, unaware of their conversation, Lin Langtian silently observed the battle in the sky, brows knitted tightly. An uneasy feeling rose within his heart. Although Tang Xinlian’s reduced version of the Flame Ancestral Symbol allowed her to unleash a formidable attack comparable to a Samsara stage expert, the King-level Yimo would not be that easy to kill.

The outcome of this battle remained uncertain.

Lin Langtian’s lips tightened, and he turned toward Mu Lingshan and the Liu brothers. ”Stay behind me. Remain vigilant.”

Mu Lingshan and the others hesitated briefly but quickly nodded. Though unaware of the specifics regarding the King-level Yimo, they could clearly sense its terrifying strength.

High above, flames surged in Tang Xinlian’s eyes, her gaze cold as ice. With a powerful flap of its wings, the fire phoenix soared upward, flames engulfing the sky.

”Flame Ancestral Symbol—obliterate the Yimo!”

Shriek!

A clear phoenix cry, interwoven with Tang Xinlian’s icy shout, resonated through the heavens. Countless gazes lifted simultaneously, watching as the enormous phoenix dove downward, engulfed in blazing flames that threatened to consume even the heavens. Its momentum was unstoppable!

Rumble!

The soaring phoenix swiftly shattered the massive black hand, instantly appearing above the ”Devouring Emperor’s” head. Such intense heat ignited the surroundings, setting even the trees within the Devouring Realm ablaze.

Joy filled the faces of everyone except the three Yuan Gate Chiefs, who looked on anxiously.

As expected of the Flame Ancestral Symbol—its power was truly formidable! Once the ”Devouring Emperor” was destroyed, they could finally escape this cursed place!

Yet, Lin Langtian’s heart did not ease. The King-level Yimo, an existence comparable to a Reincarnation stage expert, wouldn’t fall so easily.

Boom!

The thousand-foot phoenix collided directly with the ”Devouring Emperor,” triggering an explosion of unprecedented magnitude. Terrifying shockwaves erupted outward, shaking the very fabric of space.

Even the Yuan Gate Chiefs hurriedly retreated, barely avoiding annihilation from the devastating attack. Such destructive power could instantly obliterate even a peak Profound Death stage expert caught in its path.

Despite their initial panic, the surrounding cultivators soon rejoiced. Given the Flame Ancestral Symbol’s immense might, surely that accursed creature was now dead!

Hovering above, Tang Xinlian wiped sweat from her forehead, breathing a sigh of relief. The weakened Flame Ancestral Symbol she wielded had been personally granted by her master, Moro, containing part of the original symbol’s power and infused with energy equal to a Samsara stage expert. Its strength was nearly comparable to the real Ancestral Symbol. Given the weakened state of this King-level Yimo, killing it wasn’t impossible.

Her eyes fixed firmly upon the explosion’s center, hatred for the Yimo blazing in her gaze. Successfully eradicating such a formidable enemy would indeed be a joyous occasion.

Cheers echoed around her as countless cultivators began thanking Tang Xinlian and the Flame God Temple, celebrating their survival from certain doom.

At the same moment, some experts angrily turned their attention toward the Yuan Gate Chiefs, well aware that these traitors had deliberately triggered the current crisis.

The Yuan Gate trio’s expressions turned utterly grim. They hadn’t expected Flame God Temple to possess a Flame Ancestral Symbol capable of disrupting their carefully laid plans.

But just as the crowd prepared to attack the Yuan Gate trio, a soft, chilling laugh echoed through the Devouring Realm.

”Hehe… Such misfortune to awaken and immediately encounter this damned Flame Ancestral Symbol. You human experts truly don’t want me to revive. What a shame, though—it seems that symbol you’re using isn’t the genuine article. Lucky me…”

As the chilling words faded, a figure slowly emerged from the smoke at the explosion’s center. Clad in black robes, long hair draped loosely, it was none other than the supposed ”Devouring Emperor.”

Now, however, his eyes were wide open, pitch-black, radiating an unfathomably evil aura.

He had truly revived!

Shock swept through the crowd, expressions shifting rapidly from relief to abject terror.

Even Tang Xinlian’s beautiful face paled dramatically, disbelief filling her eyes. Her master Moro’s assignment had failed!

Yet she refused to accept this outcome.

”The Tianxuan Continent will never succumb to Yimo filth. Die!”

Tang Xinlian’s icy voice echoed as she bit her finger, droplets of crimson blood merging into the flames. Instantly, the thousand-foot phoenix reformed above her.

”Flame Ancestral Symbol—slay the Yimo!”

Shriek!

The phoenix, infused with Tang Xinlian’s full strength and the hopes of countless cultivators, descended once more, carrying immense destructive force.

”A fine display of human genius,” the King-level Yimo murmured softly, watching the phoenix approach, danger radiating beneath its beauty.

”Still… it’s far from enough.”

With a sinister smile, the Yimo stepped forward. Black energy erupted violently, casting darkness over the land. A colossal, monstrous figure materialized from the darkness, releasing a terrifying roar before striking out with immense power.

Boom!

Two unstoppable forces collided with earth-shattering ferocity. A deafening explosion erupted, powerful enough to devastate the entire landscape beneath.

All eyes remained fixated nervously on the sky. Yet moments later, a tragic cry rang out as the fire phoenix crumbled, revealing Tang Xinlian’s battered form. Her armor shattered, blood seeping out, leaving the revered Flame Fairy in utter defeat.

Silence consumed the crowd, despair etched clearly across every face.

Tang Xinlian had failed.

The King-level Yimo shook his head lightly. ”Too bad… if that had been the true Flame Ancestral Symbol, I might’ve faced difficulty. But your strength is inadequate.”

Turning toward the crowd, he chuckled cruelly. ”How fortunate to awaken and find such abundant food.”

”Run!” Panicked cultivators frantically fled, only to be mercilessly consumed by surging demonic energy, their screams abruptly silenced.

Amidst the chaos, Lin Langtian struggled fiercely, urgently calling upon his ancestral bloodline connection.

Meanwhile, the Yimo fixed his gaze on Tang Xinlian, smiling viciously. ”You were particularly troublesome… Perhaps your blood will taste especially sweet.”

Hopelessness flooded Tang Xinlian’s heart as overwhelming demonic energy approached. Her eyes slowly closed, accepting defeat.

Suddenly, roaring flames of immeasurable intensity tore through the darkness, vaporizing the demonic energy instantly.

A meteor wreathed in ghostly flames slammed onto the ground before Tang Xinlian, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

As her vision cleared, Tang Xinlian beheld a tall, handsome figure in azure robes standing protectively before her.

A cool, confident voice echoed clearly through the air:

”To let someone as beautiful as her become your food… now that truly pains my heart.”
