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

"To devour the thoughts of others to strengthen oneself, truly worthy of being called an 'evil cultivator'."

Sensing the growing strength of his willpower, Lin Langtian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

After arriving in the Great Thousand World, perhaps due to the high level of the plane, Lin Langtian was unable to actively improve his willpower and could only passively improve it through some fortuitous encounters.

Moreover, the improvement was not particularly obvious overall; it was only because of his deep foundation that his willpower surpassed that of ordinary people.

However, now that Lin Langtian has obtained the 'Devouring Mind Demon Heart Visualization Technique', he has only devoured the mind of one spirit beast, causing his mind to grow to an amount that is probably equivalent to a year since he came to the Great Thousand World.
"No wonder it's so difficult for ordinary people to become battle formation masters. Without the method of cultivating willpower, it's simply impossible to condense a battle spirit with ten thousand patterns." Lin Langtian shook his head with a sigh.

After all, even with his past strength of willpower, he was stuck before the Ten Thousand Patterns stage, let alone other people who were trying to become battle formation masters.

The path to becoming a battle formation master is truly difficult, especially getting started.

"Now that I have mastered the Devouring Demon Heart, I can barely be considered to have successfully cultivated the Devouring Demon Heart Visualization Method. In the future, my willpower will be able to advance by leaps and bounds. At that time, let alone a battle spirit with ten thousand patterns, I'm afraid even fifty thousand battle patterns will be no problem."

As Lin Langtian thought to himself, he realized that the Myriad Pattern Battle Spirit was probably unmatched by anyone below the Seventh Grade Supreme level.

Once the number of battle runes exceeds 30,000, even a seventh-grade supreme being would not dare to challenge its power.

However, Lin Langtian also knew that he had only mastered the first stage of the Devouring Thought Demon Heart, and that devouring the thoughts of others had many drawbacks. After all, it was just like the Star Absorbing Technique, where all kinds of internal energies were integrated into one body. If it was not integrated, the more one absorbed, the greater the probability of self-destruction.

Therefore, if this method is not practiced by those with great will and ambition, it will be like an addictive poison, leading one further and further astray.

Fortunately, Lin Langtian was confident in his strong will and would never be tempted by demonic desires to recklessly devour the thoughts of others, thus causing himself to suffer a qi deviation.

After all, the road ahead of him is much longer than most people can imagine.

After successfully cultivating the method of mental power, Lin Langtian's mind stirred slightly, and he raised his head to look at the sky above the Supreme Sea.

There, the Devouring Demon Rune still stood silently.

The enormous black hole devoured everything within, continuously refining all the wisps of green smoke that surged into the Devouring Demonic Rune. Torrents of spiritual energy roared down from the black hole, crashing into the endless Supreme Sea below.

During this month, the Devouring Demonic Talisman worked tirelessly, refining all the spiritual essence within the Destruction Source Pill.

Under its tireless refinement, Lin Langtian could feel that the spiritual energy within the Supreme Sea was now far more powerful than it had been a month ago.

The sea level of the Supreme Sea has also risen, making it appear even more vast than before.

"With such abundant spiritual power, he is not far from breaking through to the fifth-grade supreme realm."

Lin Langtian's eyes flashed with a sharp light. The spiritual power within the Supreme Sea had already reached the peak of the fourth-grade Supreme, and was only one step away from the fifth-grade Supreme!
……

call out!call out!
Meanwhile, in the outside world...

On a mountain peak, Jiang Yinlan stood tall and graceful against the wind, her beautiful eyes gazing at a mountain peak not far away.

There was a tightly closed cave there, which was Lin Langtian's place of cultivation.

Since the latter entered, there has been no news of anything happening for almost a month.

A month is not a short time in this continental hunting war.

If they hadn't made a lot of progress in that first-class ruin, the month-long wait alone would have been enough to leave them behind.

call out!
The sound of wind breaking came from not far away, and several figures flashed beside Jiang Yinlan, none other than Long Spear King and others.

They glanced at Lin Langtian's secluded cultivation spot and frowned, saying, "Is there still no sign of the Heavenly Demon King emerging from seclusion?"

Jiang Yinlan shook her head slightly and gave a wry smile. Clearly, Lin Langtian's cultivation time this time was somewhat beyond their expectations.

"Hehe, after cultivating for so long, you must have gained a lot. It seems that after emerging from seclusion this time, the Heavenly Demon King's strength will greatly improve." Calamity King laughed nonchalantly from the side.

"Although we haven't gained much this past month, it's been a good time to rest and recuperate, and we've avoided the somewhat frenzied atmosphere in the Destroyed Graveyard. Otherwise, if we had encountered the currently aggressive Earth Desolate Palace, it would have been troublesome," said the Golden Armor King.

Upon hearing the words "Earth Desolation Palace," Jiang Yinlan and the others couldn't help but freeze in shock.

Half a month prior, the Earth Desolate Palace had accidentally entered a level-one ruin and, after defeating numerous forces, refined a considerable number of Destruction Source Pills.

Moreover, Xiao Qingyu had some incredible luck; he received the inheritance of an ancient battle formation master in the ruins and directly advanced to become a battle formation master.

It is said that even a top-tier warrior from a powerful force was directly defeated by Xiao Qingyu, suffering severe injuries and losing most of his elite troops.

This top-tier power suffered heavy losses in that great battle, with even some of its sixth-grade supreme experts perishing.
This battle made Xiao Qingyu famous overnight, and even Huang Buxiu, the young master of the Dihuang Palace, paled in comparison to his brilliance.

“Then Xiao Qingyu should have become a battle formation master.” Jiang Yinlan said in a deep voice. Otherwise, he shouldn’t have been able to defeat a battle spirit expert so easily.

Long Spear King also had a solemn expression. Facing a battle formation master who controlled an elite army, even with his peak sixth-grade supreme strength, he felt extremely apprehensive.

"It is said that the Immortal Desolate has been searching for our whereabouts recently, apparently intending to take revenge for what happened before. It is appropriate for us to avoid confrontation for the time being."

Jiang Yinlan said softly, "As long as Lin Langtian comes out of seclusion, we can set off and then join up with the other people in the Qiankun Sect, and then wait for the sect leader's instructions."

Long Spear King and the others nodded. Indeed, the Earth Desolate Palace was growing stronger and stronger. With Xiao Qingyu becoming a battle formation master, if they wanted to contend with it again, they would probably have to wait for Lin Langtian to emerge from seclusion.

Otherwise, with their current forces, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand the momentum of Huang Buxiu's group.

Boom!
As their thoughts raced through their minds, the earth suddenly trembled.

This startled Jiang Yinlan and the Long Spear King, who then looked up with delight at the closed cave.

At that moment, they realized that there was an extremely powerful spiritual energy erupting in the cave, like a volcano!

That surge of spiritual energy clearly belonged to Lin Langtian!

After a month of seclusion, he's finally making a move!

"We're finally about to emerge from seclusion." Long Spear King and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

boom!
At that moment, the mountaintop exploded.

A massive pillar of spiritual energy, hundreds of feet tall, shot into the sky, piercing the clouds and becoming clearly visible even within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The pillar of spiritual energy stood between heaven and earth, and waves of spiritual energy spread out, causing the space to tremble.

"This fluctuation of spiritual energy."

Long Spear King and the others looked astonished, saying in shock, "The Heavenly Demon King has actually broken through to the Fifth Grade Supreme?!"

They thought Lin Langtian was just cultivating as a battle formation master, but they never expected that he would be able to break through from the fourth-grade supreme to the fifth-grade supreme in just one month!

A fifth-grade Supreme Being would receive extremely high treatment even in any power on the Qiankun Continent. Moreover, Lin Langtian was able to fight against a sixth-grade Supreme Being when he was a fourth-grade Supreme Being. Now that he has advanced to the fifth-grade Supreme Being, his strength is probably even greater than that of the Long Spear King, the leader of the Five Kings.

"No wonder he has cultivated for so long," the Golden Armor King exclaimed, his gaze towards Lin Langtian carrying a hint of respect.

With his status as a fifth-grade supreme being and his role as a battle formation master, Lin Langtian has gradually surpassed them.

As everyone sighed in amazement, the pillar of spiritual energy in the sky finally began to weaken.

As the beam of light dissipated, a tall, slender figure stood in mid-air, his black hair flowing, appearing quite dashing and handsome.

Lin Langtian slowly opened his tightly closed eyes at this moment. He looked at the many familiar figures in the mountains and a smile appeared on his lips.

As a fifth-grade supreme being, he was already truly on par with the kings. In terms of combat strength, he could even fight against the sixth-grade supreme spear king at his peak.

Lin Langtian moved swiftly, landing on the mountain peak where Jiang Yinlan and the others were. He chuckled and said, "Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Upon hearing this, Long Spear King and the others smiled and waved their hands, then tentatively asked, "Has the Heavenly Demon King already advanced to the Fifth Grade Supreme?"

Although they had already suspected something, they clearly still wanted to confirm it for themselves.

Lin Langtian nodded.

When Long Spear King and the others saw Lin Langtian admit it, they took another deep breath and were all filled with emotion.

After all, Lin Langtian had only been a member of the Qiankun Sect for a year, so his growth rate was truly astonishing.

"So, are you considered a battle formation master now?" Jiang Yinlan blinked her beautiful eyes, asking with a hint of longing.

Upon hearing Jiang Yinlan's question, Long Spear King and the others also stared intently at Lin Langtian, clearly showing that they were also more concerned about this issue.

Although a fifth-rank supreme being is powerful, they obviously cannot play a decisive role in large-scale wars like the Continental Hunting War.

Only with battle formation masters can the elite armies under the command of the top forces be integrated, thereby unleashing powerful combat strength.

Lin Langtian smiled slightly at their expectant gazes, but said nothing more. He simply turned his attention to the five armies stationed in the mountains.

boom!
As Jiang Yinlan and the others gazed into Lin Langtian's eyes, they suddenly felt that his eyes had become extremely profound at that moment. Then, they sensed an invisible storm erupting from Lin Langtian's body.

Boom!

An invisible storm erupted.

The space began to tremble, and the expressions of Jiang Yinlan, Long Spear King, and others changed drastically.

Because they felt that invisible force, which caused a stinging sensation between their brows.

That power was invisible and elusive, strangely powerful.

"Is this the strange power belonging to battle formation masters?" Jiang Yinlan and the others' eyes flickered.

That invisible force was naturally Lin Langtian's powerful willpower.

At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in mid-air, his green robe and black hair moving without wind.

With a sweeping thought, he broke into the five armies almost instantly.

At the same time, all the soldiers of the five armies felt a voice ringing in their minds.

"Let your fighting spirit be ignited."

The voice was calm and ordinary, yet it contained an indescribable air of authority.

That kind of majesty caused the five armies to unleash their fighting spirit without even consulting their respective commanders.

Boom!

Five powerful battle intents surged from the mountains and immediately took hold above the five armies.

Lin Langtian's deep, abyss-like eyes gazed at the five fighting spirits, and he simply waved his sleeve lightly.

Boom boom!

Five mighty oceans of battle intent roared up, followed by earth-shattering roars.

The next moment, five enormous spirits of battle intent condensed from that ocean of battle intent.

Roar!
Five spirits of battle intent stepped into the void, their drums thundering, and brilliant battle patterns spreading across their bodies.

That fighting spirit was far stronger than before!
Jiang Yinlan, Long Spear King, and the others watched this scene with a slight shock.

In the past, Lin Langtian could condense five battle spirits, but he could never have done it with such fluidity.

Moreover, even as laymen, Jiang Yinlan and the others could see that these five battle spirits were now significantly stronger than before.

Lin Langtian stared intently at the five enormous battle spirits, and then he suddenly formed a hand seal.

"Battle spirit, solidify!"

boom!
The next moment, five enormous battle spirits soared into the sky and finally collided directly together.

At the moment of impact, waves of violent fighting spirit raged out like shockwaves, making people's hearts tremble.

Jiang Yinlan and the others kept their eyes fixed on the dazzling halo of battle intent in the sky, where the immense battle intent was constantly colliding and merging.

Lin Langtian had used this method before, but it was clearly somewhat forced back then.

Boom!

The battle aura rippled, and then suddenly the sky shook, as Jiang Yinlan and the others watched in shock.

Within the halo, a massive, pitch-black demonic hand, approximately a thousand feet long, slowly took shape.

The dark demonic hand was covered with dense battle patterns, and a terrifying aura emanated from it. Even with the strength of the Long Spear King, the aura of battle intent caused his expression to change drastically.

Lin Langtian looked up at the battle-inspired demonic hand within the halo, a smile playing on his lips.

At this moment, on that Demonic Hand of Battle Intent, there were dazzling battle patterns, numbering over ten thousand!
That means Lin Langtian has now officially stepped into the realm of a Battle Array Master, becoming a genuine Ten Thousand Pattern Battle Array Master! (End of Chapter)
