Wu Dong: I, Lin Langtian, will not play a supporting role

boom!
With a deafening explosion, a terrifying collision suddenly erupted in the sky.

On the Qiankun Golden Platform, two fierce spiritual energies clashed violently, attempting to obliterate each other.

At the point of impact, space continuously cracked and split open, a sight that caused countless people to look on with solemn expressions.

All eyes were fixed on the point of impact, and they all knew that this clash would determine the victor.

With countless gazes converging, the terrifying impact in the sky seemed to be still at a standstill.

Seeing this, Dong Kui's expression grew increasingly grim.

He had fought to this extent, yet he still couldn't defeat Lin Langtian decisively.

Is this person truly a freak?!
boom!
Just as Dong Kui was filled with fear, the situation suddenly changed.

The palm print containing eight elemental energies roared down, unleashing lightning, flames, and ice. The towering blood flames that surged around the Black Rhinoceros Dharma Body were instantly annihilated by the Eight Demonic Palms.

At this moment, a deep sense of fear welled up in Dong Kui's eyes.

Immediately, he controlled the rapidly dimming Black Rhino Avatar to turn around and rush out. He already understood that he could no longer defeat Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian stared indifferently at Dong Kui, who turned and fled. With a flick of his sleeve, the luminous palm print pierced through the void and landed directly on the black rhinoceros avatar.

Boom!
A chilling sound rang out, and Dong Kui's black rhinoceros avatar exploded, turning into viscous black rain that fell from the sky, corroding the earth and creating holes in it.

As the rain fell from the sky, a somewhat dim black light burst forth.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Langtian's eyes, and his thunderous hand slammed out, grabbing at the dim black light.

Clearly, he had no intention of letting Dong Kui off so easily.

The black light that Dong Kui transformed into shot out rapidly, but heavily injured, his speed was far inferior to Lin Langtian's.

Therefore, in the blink of an eye, the thunderous hand appeared above him and then slammed down mercilessly.

A deep sense of fear welled up in Dong Kui's eyes.

Countless people in the world watched this scene, their hearts trembling slightly.

The new leader of Silver Mist Palace appears handsome and dashing, but his methods are quite ruthless. Judging from his appearance, he is clearly going to beat a dog when it's down.

"stop!"

However, just as Lin Langtian's thunderous hand was about to strike Dong Kui, the Calamity King, who had been watching the battle closely from the Calamity Palace with an extremely gloomy expression, suddenly roared out.

The next moment, King Calamity slapped the armrest with his hand, and the throne turned to dust. With a movement, he appeared directly in the sky.

With a flick of his wrist, a jet-black scythe appeared out of thin air, piercing through the void with a whoosh and hurtling toward the Supreme Dharma Body that Lin Langtian had transformed into, as fast as lightning.

hum!
The black scythe pierced through the void and appeared directly behind Lin Langtian.

However, just as the black scythe was about to strike Lin Langtian, a silver longsword suddenly tore through space and collided with it.

Bang!
The black scythe and the silver sword clashed, producing a resounding clang of metal against metal. After a brief stalemate, unable to gain the upper hand, they retreated with a bang.

"It's not your place, Calamity Palace, to lecture the people of my Silver Mist Palace!"

As the silver longsword retreated, a cold, crisp sound also rang out between heaven and earth.

Countless people turned to look, only to see Jiang Yinlan standing alone before the throne. Her cold and beautiful face, flowing silver hair, and the long sword she held in her hand all gave her a stunning beauty and a sense of majesty.

"Hmph, Jiang Yinlan, your subordinates have murderous intentions, and you are protecting them like this? Does Yinlan Palace intend to start a war with my Calamity Palace?!"

When King Calamity saw Jiang Yinlan step forward, his face darkened, and he roared angrily.

"Let's fight! My Silver Mist Palace has never been afraid of any challenge!" Jiang Yinlan said coldly.

In this world, everyone is looking up at the sky.

A dense aura of killing intent permeated the area, and under its influence, the temperature of the world seemed to drop dramatically.

That was the murderous aura emanating from the two kings.

"I've long wanted to experience the power of King Silver Mist, and today I truly want to witness it firsthand," King Calamity said grimly, a savage glint appearing in his deep black eyes.

As he spoke, a dark storm swept around him, filled with violent and vast spiritual energy fluctuations, like blades raging across the heavens and earth.

A fifth-rank supreme being, whose strength is already extraordinary.

"Then you should give it a try."

Jiang Yinlan responded with a cold laugh, then drew her sword. In an instant, an incomparably powerful spiritual force swept out from her body, causing the temperature of the world to drop significantly.

Upon seeing the two men's imposing presence, everyone's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

If Yinlan and the King of Calamity were to actually fight, the consequences would be far greater than any struggle between leaders.

"enough!"

A moment later, just as the two were locked in a standoff, a shout rang out. A wave of energy, as gentle as a breeze, swept over them, and the extremely violent spiritual energy fluctuations surrounding Jiang Yinlan and the Calamity King were directly suppressed back into their bodies.

Countless people looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Third Elder frowning as he looked at the two of them, saying in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten the rules of my Qiankun Sect?!"

Within the Qiankun Sect, the king cannot directly intervene in the factional struggles; he can only let his subordinates fight amongst themselves.

This way, competition can be maintained while ensuring that the conflict doesn't break apart. Otherwise, a faction would have been wiped out long ago if it were constantly scrambling for resources.

Seeing the Third Elder step forward, the King of Calamity's expression kept changing. He glanced at Dong Kui, who was terrified, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

Unexpectedly, his Calamity Palace suffered a crushing defeat in this battle for the Qiankun Spirit Pool. This Lin Langtian, who suddenly appeared from a lower plane, was surprisingly powerful.

Although extremely unwilling, King Calamity was, after all, a man who could bend and stretch. He glanced coldly at Lin Langtian, then looked at Jiang Yinlan: "This time, your Yinlan Palace is lucky. Next time, you won't have such a good opportunity."

"My Silver Mist Palace is ready to oblige at any time," Jiang Yinlan said coldly.

"Hmph!" King E'nan snorted coldly, then with a flick of his sleeve, swept Dong Kui away, and landed on the throne, his face extremely gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.

Having forced back the King of Calamity, Jiang Yinlan's pretty face remained calm and composed. Then, she looked at Lin Langtian, who had rushed over from the side, and surprisingly smiled, saying, "You did a good job. Consider this a favor I owe you."

"I'm the one who owes a favor. If it weren't for the Palace Master's intervention, I think I would have been seriously injured by the Calamity King." Lin Langtian looked at Jiang Yinlan, who seemed much gentler now, and shook his head with a smile.

Without the support of dimensional power, he wouldn't have much of an advantage against a fifth-rank supreme being.

"In the end, you have washed away the shame of my Silver Mist Palace. This is the honor you have brought to my Silver Mist Palace, and I will not forget it. As for what opportunities you can obtain in the Qiankun Spirit Pool next, that is up to you."

After saying that, Jiang Yinlan didn't say anything more. She cupped her hands to the Third Elder and turned to fly away.

Lin Langtian watched Jiang Yinlan's graceful figure turn away, then turned his head, respectfully clasped his fists towards the Third Elder, and finally moved, landing directly on the Qiankun Golden Platform.

On the Qiankun Golden Platform, the four people's eyes were fixed on Lin Langtian's descending figure.

No one expected that this unremarkable new leader of Yinlan Palace would defeat Dong Kui, the leader of the five great leaders.

This person is truly the biggest dark horse of the Qiankun Sect in decades.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin." Luo Lin of the Long Spear Palace cupped his hands to Lin Langtian and smiled.

The other three didn't say anything, but they also cupped their hands in a friendly gesture towards Lin Langtian.

No matter where you are, strength will always earn you respect.

Lin Langtian nodded slightly. He wasn't familiar with the group and had no intention of getting to know them well; for now, he just wanted to become acquainted with them.

The five of them then stood silently on the Qiankun Golden Platform, each keeping to themselves and not interfering with the others.

Countless gazes were fixed on the five figures on the Qiankun Golden Platform, all filled with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, thoughts, and reflections).

No one expected that Dong Kui, the leader of the five commanders, would be replaced so quickly, and that he would be replaced by a new commander.

They could foresee that from this point on, the fate of the Qiankun Sect was likely to change.

As the atmosphere on the Qiankun Golden Platform quieted down, the three elders in the sky exchanged a glance, and then the elder's old and deep voice resounded throughout the world.

"Now that the competition has ended and Dong Kui is out, the final five spots in the Qiankun Spirit Pool have been decided. Now, accept the spirit talisman."

"Long Spear Palace, Rolin!"

Upon hearing the elder's shout, Luo Lin calmly stepped forward, and a beam of spiritual light descended from the sky, eventually transforming into a talisman that landed in Luo Lin's hand.

"Tiger Palace, Berserker!"

"Taiji Palace, unparalleled!"

"Dongfang Palace, Dongfang Yu!"

The three of them stepped forward, enveloped in spiritual light, and the talisman slowly descended.

The Grand Elder's gaze fell on Lin Langtian at the end, and he seemed to smile slightly on his aged face: "Yinlan Palace, Lin Langtian."

Lin Langtian stepped forward, and spiritual light gathered around him, eventually transforming into an exquisite spiritual talisman in his palm.

A peculiar fluctuation seemed to emanate from the talisman, and the source of that fluctuation appeared to be on the mountaintop.

That place is where the Qiankun Spirit Pool is located, and it is also the location of the Supreme Holy Water, the last key material for Lin Langtian to advance to the Supreme Demon Body.

The Grand Elder looked at the five people, including Lin Langtian, who had joyful expressions, and then his gaze turned to the summit of Lingtan Peak.

At this moment, the water in the spirit pool was still pouring down continuously, but this time, all the emerald green torrents bypassed Lin Langtian and his group of five who were holding spirit talismans.

"Now, let's climb to the top."

With a wave of the Grand Elder's hand, Lin Langtian and his group of five instantly became ecstatic.

Immediately afterwards, the five people stomped their feet and their figures soared into the sky. Amidst countless envious gazes, they rushed through the emerald torrent, transformed into rainbow light, and soared to the top of the majestic spirit pool!

The Heavenly Universe Spirit Pool has finally opened for them! (End of Chapter)
