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

After entering the dark gate, Lin Langtian could clearly feel the surrounding darkness receding like a tide.

Beyond the dark gate lies a completely different world.

It was a dark red world, with both the earth and the sky displaying a dark red hue.

The land was riddled with holes and covered with jagged cracks, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had taken place there.

Just as Lin Langtian was about to move forward, the space to his right also began to fluctuate.

The next moment, a slender figure emerged from the distorted space and appeared in front of him.

The two looked at each other and were slightly taken aback. Then the latter's expression changed and he quickly took several steps back.

"Lin Langtian?!" the beautiful figure exclaimed in surprise, her pretty face filled with shock.

Seeing Lin Langtian here clearly gave her a profound shock.

"Hehe, so it's Miss Dugu." Lin Langtian looked at Dugu Jialan calmly and expressionlessly.

Seeing Lin Langtian's indifference, Dugu Jialan couldn't help but force a smile, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly as she tried to hide her disbelief.

She clearly hadn't expected that Lin Langtian would break out of the Four Spirits Battle Formation at the same time as her, pass the test, and enter this place.

"This person actually defeated the Xuanwu War Spirit with just five scattered armies? How did he do that?!" Dugu Jialan couldn't help but clench her jade hand and bite her red lips.

"It seems Miss Dugu is quite surprised that I am here?" Lin Langtian said with a knowing smile.

"The Heavenly Demon King is exceptionally strong, so it's not surprising that he was able to break through the Xuanwu Battle Formation," Dugu Jialan said with a smirk.

At present, her Garan Army has not entered this area, so Dugu Garan is only at the level of a fourth-grade supreme being.

This kind of strength obviously poses no threat whatsoever to Lin Langtian, who was able to fight the Ice King to a draw with his own strength.

"Miss Dugu is quite the schemer," Lin Langtian said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Jialan could only smile wryly and no longer tried to hide anything, saying, "This continental hunting war is inherently about mutual scheming and competition."

It was probably expected that I would secretly do some tampering, wasn't it? Given the Demon King's insight, I doubt he ever truly trusted me.

Seeing Lin Langtian's increasingly indifferent expression, Dugu Jialan suddenly said, "I think the Heavenly Demon King should be very interested in the inheritance of the Myriad Array Emperor."

For some reason, I need to know more about the situation here. If you cooperate with me, our chances of seizing the inheritance might be much greater.

"If you want to cooperate, then offer something I can trust," Lin Langtian said noncommittally.

He is now in a position of absolute advantage, so he is quite indifferent to Dugu Jialan.

Dugu Jialan bit her red lips lightly, hesitated slightly, and finally said, "Actually, it's not that we can successfully obtain the inheritance just because we broke through the previous battle formation."

Based on the information I've received, this might be the most dangerous place in the entire Death Ruins.

Lin Langtian said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Because right now, the most dangerous person here is Wan Zhenhuang, who has been invaded by evil energy," Dugu Jialan said, dropping a bombshell.

"Because of the evil energy within him, Wan Zhenhuang's body was not damaged. If I'm not mistaken, he is probably waiting for us in that depths right now."

"Judging from your expression, it seems you have a way to deal with this Myriad Array Emperor, right?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was taken aback at first, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

Dugu Jialan was also somewhat surprised by Lin Langtian's composure, and immediately nodded and said, "Then Wan Zhenhuang was also prepared when the evil energy invaded back then."

He had set up a battle formation in advance, suppressing both himself and the evil spirit that had invaded his body deep within the ruins of death, which is why the evil spirit could not use his body to cause trouble.

"If we can activate the battle formation left behind by the Myriad Array Emperor, we will be able to suppress the evil spirit within him, allowing the Myriad Array Emperor to regain his remaining consciousness. At that time, the two of us can obtain his inheritance."

"Oh, how do you activate that battle formation?" Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes and asked the most crucial question directly.

"To be honest, the Wanzhen Emperor was an ancestor of my Dugu clan, so I naturally know how to activate that battle formation. Therefore, I am the only one who can activate it," Dugu Jialan said.

"Oh, so you mean that if I want to obtain the inheritance, I will need your help?" Lin Langtian said.

"This is true."

Dugu Jialan nodded, looked directly at Lin Langtian, and said, "Don't even think about asking me about the activation method, because even if you kill me, I won't tell you, and you'll offend the Dugu family behind me."

Only if you choose to cooperate with me can we truly achieve a win-win situation.

Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes as he looked at Dugu Jialan. Although he was unfamiliar with the so-called Dugu family behind him, he figured that a family capable of producing a powerful figure like Wan Zhenhuang was obviously not a weak family.

Facing Lin Langtian's pressing gaze, Dugu Jialan looked directly at him with her beautiful eyes, showing no sign of backing down.

After the two stared at each other for a while, Lin Langtian finally withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"Since that's the case, let's reach a cooperation agreement. I hope you won't try anything underhanded. After all, I'm not without my share of ruthless actions."

By the end, Lin Langtian's voice was filled with a sharp killing intent.

Dugu Jialan sensed the killing intent in Lin Langtian's voice, but she remained unfazed. Instead, she smiled and said, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two, each with their own ulterior motives, darted into the depths of darkness.

call out!
The two hurried along in silence for about fifteen minutes.

At one point, Dugu Jialan's speed gradually slowed down, and her beautiful face became increasingly solemn.

Sensing that she had slowed down, Lin Langtian looked into the distance and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the distance, in that space that resembled a black hole, a stone seat could be faintly seen.

On that stone seat, there seemed to be a blurry figure, and a powerful sense of oppression quietly emanated from it.

Lin Langtian and Dugu Jialan stopped simultaneously, their gazes fixed on the blurry figure atop the stone throne. "After countless millennia of waiting, a descendant has finally arrived."

A hoarse and ancient voice slowly rang out, and at that moment, the blurry figure on the stone seat slowly raised its head.

"I am the Emperor of Ten Thousand Arrays. The fact that you two were able to break through the Four Spirits Battle Array I left behind suggests that you possess a natural talent for battle. My will is about to dissipate, and my legacy will be left to a destined person."

The blurry figure spoke in a hoarse voice, his strength seemingly fading away. Then, he weakly waved his hand and said, "You two, come forward."

Upon hearing his words, Lin Langtian and Dugu Jialan's eyes flickered slightly, their expressions indifferent as they merely stared at Wan Zhenhuang.

When the figure saw that Lin Langtian and the other person remained motionless and did not rush forward to receive the inheritance with great joy, his already stiff face seemed to pause for a moment.

However, Wan Zhenhuang did not say anything more. He simply leaned back against the stone seat, his body seemingly growing weaker and weaker, as if his will was about to completely dissipate.

However, Lin Langtian and the other two remained motionless.

The figure remained motionless, and the world fell silent once more, a strange and rigid atmosphere enveloping the area.
The deathly silence lasted for ten or twenty minutes.
Unable to maintain the facade any longer, the Wanzhenhuang evil spirit finally tore off its mask, staring menacingly at Lin Langtian and his companion. Even its stiff, skeletal face twitched slightly.

"It seems you've discovered something?"

The evil spirit Wan Zhenhuang stared menacingly at Lin Langtian and his companion, then let out a cold laugh and said to himself, "So two cautious fellows have come. But if you want to drag this out, then let's see how it goes."

"If you want that guy's legacy, you'll only end up with nothing if you don't eliminate me."

Seeing that the evil spirit of the Myriad Array Emperor had finally ended this boring farce, Lin Langtian smiled coldly, ignoring him, and looked at Dugu Jialan, asking, "Where is the battle array left behind by the Myriad Array Emperor that you mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Jialan's beautiful eyes swept across the area, scrutinizing it closely.

A moment later, she suddenly looked at the dark area, and with a gentle wave of her hand, spiritual energy swept out.

Immediately afterwards, the black mist beneath that dark area was blown away and dispersed.
As the black mist slowly dissipated, the scene below was fully revealed to Lin Langtian and his companion.

Below that dark area, there was an army of about ten thousand men.

However, this army seemed to be formed from statues, their bodies covered with black stone spots, and they remained still.

A chilling, murderous aura quietly emanated from this stone army.

"Truly worthy of being our ancestor's personal guard!" Dugu Jialan praised softly upon seeing this.

In that dark area, when Wan Zhenhuang saw that the stone army it had hidden had been discovered by Dugu Jialan, his stiff face changed slightly.

Those eyes, now filled with a sinister aura, were beginning to take on a sinister look.
"You two fourth-rank supreme beings actually managed to activate the battle formation that guy left behind?!"

The evil spirit Wan Zhenhuang sneered, its voice full of mockery. If Lin Langtian and Dugu Jialan were at their peak, it could have wiped them out with a single breath.

Therefore, it didn't value the two of them at all.

"Miss Dugu, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on you from now on." Lin Langtian ignored the clamor of the Myriad Array Emperor Evil Spirit and looked at Dugu Jialan with a smile.

Dugu Jialan nodded slightly, and then she grasped her hand.

A flash of light appeared in her hand, and then a rough stone seal appeared in her hand as if in an instant.

The stone seal was no bigger than a palm, but it had faint, strange patterns on it. Lin Langtian was familiar with those patterns; they were battle runes.
Lin Langtian also noticed that when Dugu Jialan took out the stone seal, there seemed to be some sounds of fighting coming from the stone army below the dark area.

“Heavenly Demon King, this stone seal can activate this personal guard, but activating it requires a considerable amount of spiritual power, which I may not be able to do alone, so I hope you can help me,” Dugu Jialan said with a smile.

Lin Langtian gave Dugu Jialan a deep look.

This woman was indeed cautious, clearly worried that after consuming a large amount of spiritual energy, she would be even less able to compete with Lin Langtian, which is why she planned for the two of them to contribute.

Lin Langtian had no objection to this, and immediately nodded and extended his palm.

The stone seal floated between Lin Langtian and Dugu Jialan's palms. In the next instant, powerful spiritual energy surged from their palms and quickly poured into the ancient stone seal.

Buzz!

As Lin Langtian and the other person poured their spiritual energy into the stone seal, it began to vibrate and hum.

The dim battle patterns on the stone seal slowly brightened at this moment.

At the same time, as the stone seal became bright, the eyes of the stone army below, which had been closed like statues for thousands of years, slowly opened!
boom!
The moment the stone army opened their eyes, the crimson world seemed to tremble.

In an instant, an indescribable, terrifying fighting spirit surged forth like a tidal wave, finally sweeping across the world.

That fighting spirit was as sharp as a spear, as if it could pierce through the heavens and earth.

That fierce fighting spirit far surpassed any army Lin Langtian had encountered before.

According to Lin Langtian's prediction, at the height of this army's power, there would probably be no strong person below the Earthly Sovereign level who could contend with it.

If this army were to combine with the battle formation of that Emperor of Ten Thousand Formations, they would be able to put up a fight even against a powerhouse like the Earthly Sovereign.

On that stone seat, the expression on the face of the evil spirit Wan Zhenhuang changed drastically in an instant!
His face contorted instantly, and a fierce glint flashed in his sinister eyes as he looked at Lin Langtian and the other person, as if he wanted to tear them apart.

"You two damned bastards!"

The evil spirit Wan Zhenhuang roared and suddenly stood up from the stone seat, a monstrous black light suddenly sweeping out from its body.

Immediately afterwards, his figure transformed into a streak of black light and shot out.

Wow!
But just then, a rattling sound like iron chains suddenly came from beneath the Wanzhenhuang evil spirit.

Its forward momentum abruptly halted, the powerful impact causing it to stagger.

"Heavenly Demon King, seize this opportunity to unleash your full spiritual power and annihilate the Myriad Array Emperor Evil Spirit!" Dugu Jialan saw the Myriad Array Emperor Evil Spirit trapped by the array and hurriedly looked at Lin Langtian, saying urgently.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded, then looked at the Myriad Array Emperor Evil Spirit, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes… (End of this chapter)
