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

Above the Chaotic Demon Sea.

With just a single move, the Demonic Emperor had severely injured all seven of the Ancient Masters, and that terrifying display of might instantly shocked heaven and earth.

Had that annihilating figure finally descended?

Seeing this, Lin Dong’s expression also turned grave. This Demonic Emperor was indeed the mortal enemy of the Tianxuan Continent; only those at the Ancestor Realm could stand against him.

Who knew how far Brother Langtian’s progress had reached by now?

But no matter what, they had to fight to the death to win time for Brother Langtian!

”Exert everything and stop him!” Lin Dong’s gaze instantly turned resolute. The life and death of the continent were at stake; he had no room to retreat even half a step!

Hearing this, Ying Huanhuan and the others gave a faint nod. In the next instant, their eyes reddened, and the yuan power within their bodies even showed faint signs of burning.

At such a moment, they had already been forced to the end of the road!

Swoosh!

However, just as they were preparing to stake everything in a life-and-death struggle against the Demonic Emperor, the space above them suddenly twisted.

Right after, a white-clad slender figure appeared out of thin air before everyone’s eyes.

That graceful figure radiated a cold, aloof temperament; at this moment, that stunningly beautiful face was also covered in icy frost.

She fixed her gaze on the incoming demonic finger, and with a light clench of her jade hand, a three-foot-long azure sword suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The white-clad figure gripped the three-foot azure sword, then swung it down with a sharp slash!

As the sword fell, there seemed to be no fluctuation of yuan power within it at all. In fact, that slash appeared to contain no power whatsoever.

Crack!

Yet that seemingly powerless sword directly cleaved vertically through the terrifying demonic finger.

Then, countless people stared in horror as that demonic finger was forcibly chopped into two segments right before their eyes.

An uproar!

The entire Chaotic Demon Sea erupted. Countless people stared, dumbfounded, at that peerlessly beautiful woman in white, as ethereal as an immortal fairy.

Clearly, they could not understand just who this suddenly appearing woman, who seemed even stronger than the Ancient Masters, actually was.

”Ling Qingzhu?!”

Lin Dong, Ying Huanhuan, and the others also looked at this scene in shock before crying out in surprise.

”How did her strength suddenly become so powerful?” the Life and Death Master exclaimed in astonishment.

She could sense that Ling Qingzhu’s body seemed to completely lack yuan power, yet within it was another, familiar and ancient fluctuation.

”It’s the power of the Supreme,” Ying Huanhuan said gravely. She stared fixedly at that slender figure and murmured, ”If we’re only talking about comprehension and control over the Supreme Power, perhaps even I am inferior to her…”

”She gave up all other power and single-mindedly pursued the Supreme Power. That kind of temperament and immense willpower truly are something we can’t match,” Lin Dong also nodded and said.

Within the Ancestral Palace, he had received a mysterious guidance, and by following that guidance, he too had grasped the Supreme Power.

Thus, in terms of understanding the Supreme Power, Lin Dong was no weaker than the Ancient Masters.

”Elder Lin Langtian really is something. Ling Qingzhu, Tang Xinyan, and Ying Xiaoxiao—each of these peerlessly talented women of heaven and earth actually likes that guy. Impressive, truly impressive.” The Space Master clicked his tongue, his tone filled with faint admiration. However, his comment only earned him several eye-rolls.

”Even so, Ling Qingzhu probably won’t be able to stall the Demonic Emperor for too long. The Demonic Emperor has already crossed the fissure between the planes and will soon fully descend.

”When that happens, his terrifying might will be completely unleashed,” the Flame Master said worriedly.

The Life and Death Master and the others also sighed. Now, all they could do was hope that Lin Langtian would be able to emerge from seclusion within the little time remaining and truly break through to the Ancestor Realm.

”Don’t worry, Brother Langtian will definitely manage it.” At this moment, as Lin Langtian’s kinsman, Lin Dong could not help but speak up to encourage everyone.

Above the Chaotic Demon Sea, Ling Qingzhu’s white-clad figure stood suspended in the air. Her flawless face, without the slightest blemish, was fixed intently on the distant void.

From there, an incomparably terrifying pressure was rapidly approaching.

The Demonic Emperor was coming.

Ling Qingzhu’s jade hand gently tightened around the azure longsword, her red lips pressed together. It was as if she had just recalled something, and in those cold eyes of hers, a trace of softness surfaced.

”In the past, you were always the one protecting me. This time, let me be the one to protect you.”

Her jade hand firmly gripped the three-foot azure blade again, and a look of absolute resolve appeared on Ling Qingzhu’s exquisite face.

Boom!

In the sky above, the low roll of demonic thunder drew nearer and nearer.

Terrifying demonic qi pressed down like dark clouds, and in the end, under countless horrified gazes, it spread to cover the sky over the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Deep within that roiling demonic qi, there seemed to be a pair of evil, icy eyes gazing upon this piece of heaven and earth.

Eventually, that malevolent gaze settled on Ling Qingzhu.

”What a familiar power…” From within the demonic clouds, a detached voice slowly echoed.

”The Demonic Emperor…”

Lin Dong, Ying Huanhuan, and the others looked solemnly at the demonic clouds blotting out the sky. There, a vague throne of demonic qi appeared.

Seated upon that throne seemed to be a figure like a demonic god. However, no matter who looked, they could not make out the features of that demonic figure.

At this moment, the demonic god-like figure within the clouds suddenly turned his gaze toward Ling Qingzhu and muttered:

”To think you can wield that power to such a degree… As expected, natives of this world have the greater advantage…”

”Hehe, you’re of some use to me. Capturing you will be worthwhile.”

Within the demonic clouds, that demonic figure let out a faint chuckle, then slowly stretched out his palm.

A moment later, an enormous, deathly pale hand tore out from the demonic clouds, pressing down upon Ling Qingzhu like Mount Tai.

In that instant, the space around Ling Qingzhu’s body was almost completely sealed, leaving her utterly unable to move.

Yet even in such peril, there was still not much panic in Ling Qingzhu’s icy eyes. She merely drew in a deep breath, and the determination in her gaze grew ever more intense.

Ling Qingzhu’s slender jade hands came together lightly, forming an extremely ancient seal.

As the seal took shape, everyone could feel heaven and earth themselves letting out a humming roar.

From the look of things, she was prepared to fight the Demonic Emperor to the death!

”Langtian, farewell.”

A murmur flickered through Ling Qingzhu’s heart. Then, her hand seal abruptly changed.

However, just as Ling Qingzhu was about to completely unleash the power within her body, boundless, resplendent radiance suddenly erupted across heaven and earth.

Under the illumination of that dazzling light, Ling Qingzhu abruptly realized that her state of merging with heaven and earth and self-destruction was being forcibly driven back by another unimaginably terrifying power.

As she was forced out of that state, an incomparably familiar aura rushed toward her in an instant.

Right after, a powerful arm wrapped around her slender waist and pulled her into a firm embrace.

”Sorry, I’m a bit late.” Lin Langtian drew her tightly into his arms, his voice tinged with apology.

That familiar scent and that familiar voice made even Ling Qingzhu’s tranquil heart quiver slightly.

”Leave the rest to me.”

Behind Lin Langtian, a vast tide of radiant light surged, covering the sky. He looked at Ling Qingzhu and gave a faint smile.

”Mm.” Ling Qingzhu’s taut, delicate body completely relaxed, and she gently nodded.

At the same time, the Chaotic Demon Sea below erupted into a complete uproar.

Countless people stared at Lin Langtian, who had finally emerged from his seclusion at this critical moment, and endless ecstatic joy surged across their faces.

Had they… finally waited long enough?

”Brother Langtian succeeded!” Lin Dong gazed at Lin Langtian, his face filled with unconcealed delight.

Ying Huanhuan, the Life and Death Master, and the others felt their hearts tremble. They exchanged looks, their eyes filled with shock as well as irrepressible joy.

They could sense that the fluctuations now radiating from Lin Langtian’s body were identical to those of their Master in days of old!

Clearly, he had truly advanced into the Ancestor Realm!

This world was finally saved!

In the sky, Lin Langtian slowly released Ling Qingzhu, then raised his head to look toward the depths of the demonic clouds and said calmly, ”For the mighty Demonic Emperor to personally grace us with his presence—how remiss of me not to have welcomed you properly.”

The demonic qi that had been rampaging through the sky seemed to quiet down somewhat under the suppression of that vast, radiant power.

Then a beam of demonic light descended upon the Chaotic Demon Sea. Within that beam, a dark silhouette gradually took form.

At last, as the pitch-black light slowly dispersed, the figure within appeared before countless watching eyes throughout heaven and earth.

It was a human-shaped figure, clad in black robes, with a tall, slender frame and strikingly handsome features. Yet when Lin Langtian saw that face, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Because that face was not unfamiliar to him. In fact, it was engraved into his memory—since that countenance was his own!

”Elder Langtian?!”

The spectators were struck dumb with shock, their hearts clenching as thick disbelief and absurdity filled their eyes.

How could the Demonic Emperor look exactly like Elder Langtian? How was that even possible?!

”It seems the mighty Demonic Emperor has a taste for perverse hobbies. Taking on my appearance—do you find that amusing?” Lin Langtian regarded the figure identical to himself. There was no great fluctuation in his eyes as he clasped his hands behind his back and spoke with a cold calm.

”Hehe, it’s simply that you seemed poised to become my greatest opponent in the conquest of this plane, so I chose to imitate your appearance as a small commemoration,” the Demonic Emperor replied with a faint smile, briefly glancing over himself.

”Even if you have broken through to the Ancestor Realm, Ancestral Talisman Master Fu Zu failed back then, and you… will be no exception.”

”Oh? So confident?” Lin Langtian gave a faint smile. ”A low-tier branch of the extraterritorial evil races can only act high and mighty in lower planes like ours.”

”Oh? It seems you’re no stranger to the Great Thousand World and the extraterritorial evil races.” At Lin Langtian’s mockery, the Demonic Emperor’s previously placid expression finally shifted. A grave look surfaced in his gaze.

For someone from a mere lower plane to know of such things was clearly impossible. This could only mean that Lin Langtian carried secrets of the Great Thousand World on his body.

The Great Thousand World was a place where true experts converged in numberless droves. Even he did not dare act too brazenly there.

But the Demonic Emperor soon composed himself. Even if, in the Great Thousand World or among the extraterritorial evil races, his strength did not rank particularly high, it was still more than enough to tyrannize a lower plane.

”If this emperor is not mistaken, you must have obtained the Plane Seed, correct?” At this point, the Demonic Emperor turned his burning gaze upon Lin Langtian.

Back then, his struggle against Fu Zu had been for the sake of that very Plane Seed. Yet, in the end, Fu Zu had actually sacrificed himself to seal the Demonic Emperor away, delaying his chance for a thousand years.

Now Lin Langtian had advanced to the Ancestor Realm in a mere two months, which clearly had everything to do with the Plane Seed.

Thinking of this, a hint of jealous resentment flashed in the Demonic Emperor’s eyes. The natives of this plane were indeed blessed with enormous advantages…

”A mere dead man has no need to know so much.” Lin Langtian looked at him and shook his head.

”Kill me? Even Fu Zu could not accomplish that. Even if you reach Fu Zu’s level, what of it?” the Demonic Emperor replied with a dismissive, mocking smile.

Boom!

Lin Langtian did not bother answering. His palm clenched in the Demonic Emperor’s direction.

In an instant, the space spanning ten thousand feet around the Demonic Emperor collapsed, and an overwhelming power capable of crushing a peak expert who had survived three Samsara Tribulations surged forth.

The Demonic Emperor pressed his hands together, and pure-black flames surged from his body, sweeping outwards. Shockingly, they directly withstood the crushing force of the collapsing space.

”Haha! Then let this emperor see just how formidable this newly born Ancestor truly is!”

The Demonic Emperor laughed heartily as rolling waves of demonic qi roiled up behind him, coalescing into torrents of sticky demonic energy tens of thousands of feet in size.

Those surging torrents of demonic qi roared across the sky like howling dragons, then shot forth like coiling demonic serpents.

Bang, bang!

Wherever the torrents of demonic qi passed, countless people watched in horror as the fabric of space itself shattered, and pitch-black fissures spread rapidly across the sky.

As the demonic torrents swept toward him, Lin Langtian lightly tapped his foot, and a vast, resplendent brilliance surged forth to blanket the heavens.

Within that dazzling radiance was boundless yuan power, an oceanic spiritual power, and the power of the very world itself.

Moreover, in the depths of that radiant tide was also a trace of pitch-black demonic energy.

Lin Langtian had actually fused the demonic power into his own!

The brilliant radiance condensed into an enormous black-and-white disk spanning tens of thousands of feet, slowly revolving. It remained unmoved as the demonic torrents howled toward it, then crashed heavily into its surface.

Boom, boom!

Heaven and earth seemed to shudder violently; such a collision could be called world-shattering.

Even the mere leaking ripples of that horrifying energy were enough to leave peak Samsara-stage experts deathly pale.

They understood very clearly that even with their strength, to so much as brush against that power would mean total annihilation.

Lin Dong, Ying Huanhuan, and the others all stared solemnly at the distant sky.

The Demonic Emperor’s strength had clearly reached a level comparable to the Ancestor Realm.

Strictly speaking, Lin Langtian and the Demonic Emperor stood on the same tier. Their clash could truly be called earth-shaking.

The outcome would depend on which of them stood half a step higher.
