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

Seated on his blood-red throne, the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal slightly narrowed his eyes as he gazed down at Lin Langtian. A playful smile gradually spread across his face. ”We meet again.”

Lin Langtian’s expression remained calm and indifferent as he replied quietly, ”Quite the coincidence indeed.”

He raised his head, staring directly at the figure on the throne. Compared to the demon spirit avatar he encountered a month ago, the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal before him now was unquestionably stronger by leaps and bounds.

A vast sea of Yuan Power surged and swirled around him, interwoven perfectly with two distinct forces: life and death. The harmonious fusion of these two opposing energies signified a profound touch upon the realm of reincarnation.

A genuine Reincarnation Stage expert!

”Seeing me now, do you regret your previous arrogance?” the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal asked mockingly, his eyes filled with malicious amusement, like a cat toying with a mouse.

Countless eyes across the mountain range shifted eagerly towards Lei Yuan Mountain’s group, anticipating a thrilling spectacle. Many felt certain that Lei Yuan Mountain’s earlier arrogance was finally going to exact a painful price.

Lin Langtian met the Demon Marshal’s eyes without flinching, his lips curving into a faint smile. ”Your avatar fled in panic; as for your real body... it’s nothing special either.”

In the sky, the smile gradually faded from the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal’s face. Standing up, his crimson cloak billowed violently behind him like bloody wings, and his gaze turned ice-cold with undisguised killing intent. ”Still defiant even at this stage?”

Whoosh!

Reacting immediately to the killing intent radiating from the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal, the Tiger Devouring Army erupted with ferocity. Their crimson eyes fixated intently on the Demon Marshal without a trace of fear, radiating only vicious, bloodthirsty aggression.

”Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal, if you wish to swallow our Lei Yuan Mountain, make sure your teeth are strong enough!” Xiao Yan declared coldly, while Lin Dong, standing beside him, narrowed his eyes dangerously.

The Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal’s face darkened. Everyone present could sense a terrifying energy beginning to surge from within him. Simultaneously, the army from Blood Dragon Hall began to exude fierce hostility.

No one had expected Lei Yuan Mountain to remain so defiant even after the Demon Marshal himself had arrived.

”I’ll show you now that your insignificant strength is utterly insufficient to challenge me!”

Taking a step forward, the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal emerged ahead of his army, swiftly forming a blood-red sphere of energy in his palm. Within this sphere, black and white energies intertwined, exuding a devastating power unique to Reincarnation Stage experts.

Clearly, he intended to deliver a lethal blow from the start!

Spectators’ faces turned solemn as they felt the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the Demon Marshal’s attack, recognizing this as power exclusive to those in the Reincarnation Stage.

”Go and regret in the underworld!”

A cruel smile flickered across the Demon Marshal’s face as he lightly flicked his finger, instantly enlarging the blood-red sphere to a hundred zhang in diameter. Like a meteor streaking through the sky, it blasted mercilessly towards Lei Yuan Mountain’s forces, threatening total annihilation.

Just as the meteor was about to obliterate the mountain peak, a black figure suddenly burst forth, colliding directly with the immense destructive force of the red sphere.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed throughout the sky, causing the ground to quake violently. Every pair of eyes turned towards the epicenter of the clash, their pupils shrinking in disbelief.

There, a lone figure hovered calmly—having actually stopped the Demon Marshal’s frightening attack.

”Who is that? He actually blocked the attack of a Reincarnation Stage expert?”

”Does Lei Yuan Mountain have hidden experts?”

Voices exploded in astonishment as countless gazes converged on the mysterious figure. Lei Yuan Mountain apparently still possessed hidden strength.

”A puppet?” the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal’s face twisted with shock upon realizing the truth, staring intently at the pitch-black figure.

”You’re perceptive, at least,” Lin Langtian remarked calmly, flicking his sleeve as the Devouring Black Corpse slowly descended beside him.

Lin Dong stared at the summoned Devouring Black Corpse in slight astonishment. Though he had heard Lin Langtian mention this puppet before, actually seeing it still left him in awe. Its resemblance to the Devouring Sky Corpse was uncanny—as if both were forged from the same mold.

”The Devouring Emperor truly was extraordinary. Given more time, perhaps he could’ve equaled even the Devouring Master,” Lin Dong murmured softly.

”So, this is your hidden trump card?” The Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal’s eyes turned dark and uncertain as he studied the formidable puppet.

Lin Langtian crossed his arms and casually replied, ”You could say so.”

In truth, Lin Langtian possessed numerous ways to deal with the Demon Marshal. Some were concealed aces, others unsuited for public display; among these, the Devouring Black Corpse was the most convenient to use openly.

”You’re threatening me?” The Demon Marshal laughed coldly, clearly enraged.

”Enough talk. Fight if you wish,” Lin Langtian responded impatiently, furrowing his brows slightly.

”You!” the Demon Marshal growled angrily. As one of the Three Grand Demon Marshals of the Beast War Region, he had never endured such blatant disrespect. Yet, Lin Langtian’s confident demeanor stirred hesitation within him—perhaps this youth still had more hidden trump cards?

Around them, the crowd watched in stunned silence. No one had anticipated that Lin Langtian would dare provoke the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal so brazenly.

”Haha, Heavenly Dragon, it seems you’re losing face this time!”

Suddenly, hearty laughter erupted from afar, accompanied by rumbling thunder as powerful figures rapidly approached. Leading them was a burly man wearing golden armor, wielding an enormous black rod. His appearance was coarse, yet his strength matched the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal.

”The Golden Ape Grand Demon Marshal from Golden Ape Mountain!”

Shocked whispers spread as the newcomers appeared. Lin Dong glanced curiously at the arriving figures, recognizing one of the three legendary Grand Demon Marshals—Golden Ape.

”Jie jie, Heavenly Dragon, if it were me, I would have immediately eliminated these nuisances. After all, you already obtained the Nine Heaven Heavy Peak last time. Or do you plan to compete with us again?”

Shortly after the Golden Ape Marshal appeared, a sharp voice echoed from the distance. An enormous black cloud approached, consisting of countless winged figures. Leading them was a skinny figure whose vast eagle wings stretched over a hundred zhang.

”The Ghost Condor Grand Demon Marshal from Ghost Condor Gorge!”

The crowd erupted again as the third and final Grand Demon Marshal appeared.

With the arrival of all three Grand Demon Marshals, the surrounding Yuan Power instantly grew restless. The overwhelming pressure from these three super-experts made many struggle to breathe.

Three Reincarnation Stage powerhouses had assembled!

”Hmph. You two arrived quickly,” the Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal coldly greeted Golden Ape and Ghost Condor.

”Haha, this event only comes once every three years. We must be quick, lest your Blood Dragon Hall takes all the benefits again,” Golden Ape replied cheerfully.

”We arrived just in time to witness your embarrassing scene, Heavenly Dragon. To think Lei Yuan Mountain could push you this far,” Ghost Condor mocked, eyes narrowing slightly as he glanced towards Lin Langtian and the Devouring Black Corpse.

Heavenly Dragon’s face darkened, killing intent surging fiercely within him.

Even under the scrutiny of three Demon Marshals, Lin Langtian remained perfectly calm, further deepening Heavenly Dragon’s suspicion and caution.

”Ghost Condor, spare me your sarcasm. This youth is not simple. Even if you were to confront him, you wouldn’t fare much better,” Heavenly Dragon shot back coldly.

Ghost Condor chuckled dismissively. ”Perhaps. But I have no quarrel with them, nor reason to test him for you. Your taunts won’t work on me.”

He clearly recognized Heavenly Dragon’s attempt to provoke him.

The Heavenly Dragon Demon Marshal scowled, knowing he wouldn’t trick Ghost Condor into attacking. Reluctantly, he turned a chilling glare upon Lin Langtian. ”I’ll let you survive a bit longer. After the vault opens, I’ll ensure you regret your arrogance!”

”I’ll gladly await it,” Lin Langtian calmly replied.

His nonchalant response infuriated Heavenly Dragon further, yet he forcibly restrained his wrath due to the intimidating presence of the Devouring Black Corpse.

Golden Ape and Ghost Condor watched with growing curiosity. Lin Langtian’s ability to frustrate the normally dominant Heavenly Dragon hinted at deeper strength than anyone had anticipated.

”Judging by the time, the vault should open soon,” Golden Ape remarked, gazing towards the depths of the mountain range.

”Indeed. Let’s see if another artifact from the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking emerges,” Ghost Condor added eagerly.

As tension eased somewhat, the factions settled on separate peaks, awaiting the imminent appearance of the vault. Time slowly passed until suddenly, the earth began to tremble subtly.

”Prepare yourselves!” Lin Langtian immediately ordered.

In the distance, golden light erupted into the heavens, drawing excited shouts. Two enormous mountains shifted apart, revealing an ancient palace slowly emerging from the earth amidst dazzling golden radiance.

”The Divine Artifact Vault has appeared!”

Instantly, the vast crowd surged into the air, eyes blazing with greed as the legendary treasure finally revealed itself before them.

Within the golden brilliance above the ancient palace, numerous glowing artifacts emerged, causing a frenzy among the spectators.

”Divine artifacts have appeared!”
