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

Feeling the surge of mental power within his body, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Langtian's eyes.

As a battle formation master, Xiao Qingyu already possessed considerable mental power. Furthermore, having absorbed the mental power of numerous commanders, he was an absolute treasure trove of mental power.

After Lin Langtian absorbed Xiao Qingyu's will, the power of his will within him increased by a full 100% compared to before!
Ah!
On the other side, after his will was devoured, Xiao Qingyu immediately let out a miserable scream. He was then lifted up like a chicken by Lin Langtian with a flick of his sleeve, completely powerless to resist. His appearance was a world apart from before.

This scene also caused many powerful figures to sigh in admiration.

Although battle formation masters are strong, they rely too much on the fighting spirit of the army. Once the fighting spirit is lost, the so-called battle formation masters are extremely fragile.

"Boy, how dare you!"

When Lin Langtian captured Xiao Qingyu, the Destroyer King and his group finally came to their senses from the sudden reversal of the situation. Their faces immediately darkened, and a terrifying pressure of spiritual energy enveloped them.

"Hmph, who do you think you are, to dare to challenge the people of my Qiankun Sect?!"

However, this time Lin Langtian obviously didn't need to take action, as Wuji King's icy laughter rang out.

Immediately afterwards, Wuji King took a step forward and appeared in the sky, his sharp gaze locked on Destruction King, and he single-handedly withstood all of Destruction King's spiritual power pressure.

The two seventh-rank supreme beings confronted each other in the sky, and their imposing presence was even more oppressive than the previous clash between Lin Langtian and Xiao Qingyu.

As Wuji King and Destruction King locked eyes in a somber exchange, the many powerful figures from Qiankun Sect and Dihuang Palace immediately became tense, and the atmosphere in the world instantly became tense.

"Destroyer King, if you want to start a war, our Qiankun Sect will be ready to fight to the bitter end. But before that, I think we should settle the bet first?"

In the midst of that tense atmosphere, Lin Langtian's voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures of the Wasteland Palace, including the Destruction King, twitched violently on the face.

The gazes of various forces in the world flickered at this moment, with some casting gloating glances at the Earth Desolate Palace, and some forces that already had grudges against the Earth Desolate Palace taking the opportunity to mock and ridicule it.

"Hehe, the Earth Desolate Palace has been rampant for so long, it has finally gotten its comeuppance."

"But I don't know if the Earth Desolate Palace will admit it. Hehe, if we lose the Destruction Source Pill, I'm afraid the Earth Desolate Palace Master won't let any of them go."

"But if we don't pay, the Earth Desolate Palace will lose all face."

"..."

Hearing the sarcastic remarks from all around, Destroyer's face turned pale and then flushed, his eyes filled with rage.

He never expected that Xiao Qingyu, who was originally certain of victory, would lose this confrontation!
"Lin Langtian, don't go too far! At worst, we'll hand over the Earth King to you! This time, the Earth Desolate Palace will admit defeat!" the Destroyer King said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian said expressionlessly, "With the stakes set like this, if the Destroyer King can't afford to lose, he can simply say so."

The Destroyer's eyelids twitched; he realized that Lin Langtian wasn't planning to let the matter drop so easily.

But asking them to hand over 400,000 Destruction Source Pills is simply impossible. If the Palace Master finds out, he will be furious and they will have no chance of survival.

However, if they were to go back on their word in front of all the kings of the Qiankun Continent, the Dihuang Palace would also lose all face.

They were practically driven to the brink of despair.

Seeing this, the other top powers couldn't help but start watching the show.

The current situation has pushed the Earth Desolate Palace to its limits. Now, it remains to be seen how they intend to clean up this enormous mess.

"It's all Lin Langtian's fault!"

The many powerful figures of the Earth Desolate Palace gritted their teeth and glared at Lin Langtian. Today's situation was entirely caused by Lin Langtian alone. If it weren't for him, the one in a dilemma would probably be the Qiankun Sect.

However much they hate Lin Langtian at this moment, things have come to this point, and their Dihuang Palace must patch up this huge hole.

"The Earth Desolate Palace is a top power in the Qiankun Continent. I think your palace wouldn't have the face to break its promise in public, would it?" Lin Langtian said as the eyes of Destroyer King and the others changed.

"Shut up!"

The Destroyer King glared at Lin Langtian, furious. He knew perfectly well that Lin Langtian was trying to kill the Qiankun Sect by praising it too much.

"Destroyer King, you are a well-known powerhouse in the Qiankun Continent. If you've lost, at least show some magnanimity. Of course, if you really want to back out, then my Qiankun Sect will have no choice but to accompany you to the end today," Wuji King said coldly.

Wreck-It Ralph gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with struggle.

Behind him, the many powerful figures of the Desolate Palace dared not utter a word.

For a time, all the forces in the world were staring at the direction of the Earth Desolate Palace, clearly wanting to see how they would clean up this mess.

However, just as the various forces were casting their mocking glances, a cold, aged snort suddenly resounded like thunder from the void, echoing throughout the world.

The heavens and earth seemed to tremble at that cold snort.

The expressions of all the kings in the world suddenly changed at this moment, because they sensed an extremely powerful sense of oppression that was penetrating space and finally enveloping the entire world.

As the expressions of the powerful figures on all sides changed drastically, the space above the Desolate Palace suddenly distorted, and then an old figure slowly walked out.

The slightly hunched figure was an old man dressed in a black robe. He had gray hair and seemingly cloudy eyes that shone with a sharp light that could pierce through space.

He stood in mid-air, holding a skull staff, and the oppressive aura that caused all the powerful figures in this world to change their expressions drastically emanated from his body.

"The Underworld Lord?!" When the powerful figures from the Desolate Palace, including the Destruction King, saw the black-robed old man, their expressions suddenly lit up with surprise and joy.

"It's actually Venerable Netherworld Skull, one of the three Venerables of the Desolate Earth Palace!"

The expressions of Wuji King and the others turned much uglier at this moment. They had not expected that a Nether Skull Venerable would suddenly appear at this time.

"The Venerable Netherworld Skull?"

Lin Langtian was taken aback, and then his brows furrowed.

These three Venerables of the Desolate Palace are figures of equal stature to the three elders of their Qiankun Sect. But shouldn't these top experts be deep within the Destroyed Graveyard at this moment? "Be careful, Venerable Nether Skull is an eighth-grade Supreme expert, with unparalleled strength." King Wuji's body tensed up considerably at this moment, his eyes warily fixed on the black-robed elder.

"An eighth-rank supreme being?" Lin Langtian's expression hardened.

The other forces in the world also looked at the reappearing Venerable Nether Skull with surprise and suspicion.

Generally speaking, a powerhouse of this level shouldn't appear at this time, so why has one suddenly appeared in the Desolate Palace?
"Greetings, Lord of the Underworld!"

At this moment, all the powerful figures of the Desolate Palace bowed in unison.

"Hmph, a bunch of useless things. If you hand over the Destruction Source Pill, how will you explain yourselves to the Palace Master!"

The Nether Skull Venerable glanced at the Destroyer King and the others with a sinister look. The oppressive force in his eyes caused the Destroyer King and the others to tremble slightly.

“Lord of the Underworld, regarding this matter,” Huang Buxiu stepped forward to defend the Destruction King.

"Leave this matter to me." Venerable Nether Skull's attitude toward Huang Buxiu had improved considerably.

Upon hearing this, Destroyer secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he had long since given up on dealing with this mess.

As soon as Venerable Nether Skull finished speaking, his sinister gaze swept over Lin Langtian and King Wuji, and he sneered.

"Your Qiankun Sect, a fallen family, actually has some skill; you've actually produced a battle formation master."

King Wuji said calmly, "My Qiankun Sect's foundation is not something your esteemed palace needs to worry about. The previous bet was also clearly stated. If the Dihuang Palace does not care about the damage to its reputation, then this matter is easy to resolve."

"Heh heh, reputation damaged?" Venerable Nether Skull sneered, "This bet was started by that reckless fool Xiao Qingyu himself. What right does a mere fourth-rank Supreme have to represent the position of my Desolate Palace?"

"So even if he loses this bet, that's his own business. If you want to destroy the Source Pill, then let him do it."

Upon hearing Venerable Mingku's words, the expressions of the kings from the Qiankun Sect turned ugly. This old fellow was so shameless and brazen, directly shifting the blame onto Xiao Qingyu.

"Oh? In that case, let's wager Xiao Qingyu's life." Lin Langtian looked at Xiao Qingyu, a cold glint in his eyes.

This guy's will has been devoured by him. Lin Langtian has already taken back the interest. Since the Earth Desolate Palace doesn't acknowledge the debt, then there's no need to spare his life.

The Venerable Nether Skull cast a cold glance at Lin Langtian and said, "Hmph, arrogant fellow, what right do you have to speak to me? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

As soon as the last word of the Nether Skull Venerable was uttered, his figure mysteriously vanished from the sky.

Lin Langtian's expression changed slightly, and then a flash of silver light appeared around him as he used a spatial magic talisman to quickly escape.

The instant Lin Langtian's figure disappeared, the space where he had stood was as if it had been squeezed together by an invisible hand, and the void space shattered.

In that shattered space, the figure of the Nether Skull Venerable emerged. Seeing that his attack had missed, the cold light in his eyes intensified.

He then thrust out two fingers, causing ripples in the void, and a flash of black light disappeared.

Just as the black light appeared, alarm bells rang in Lin Langtian's mind again, and he immediately and without hesitation used Xiao Qingyu, whom he was holding, to shield himself.

Bang!
A black light swept through the air, and Xiao Qingyu's head exploded, splattering blood everywhere.

With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Qingyu dispersed all the incoming blood. Then, with a grim expression, he stared at the headless corpse in his hand. At this moment, Xiao Qingyu was clearly dead beyond any doubt.

call out!
Behind them, Jiang Yinlan, Long Spear King, and others rushed over, protecting Lin Langtian, their eyes warily fixed on the Nether Skull Venerable.

This sudden turn of events startled all the forces involved. By the time they came to their senses, Xiao Qingyu had already been killed, causing their eyelids to twitch rapidly.

The Nether Skull Venerable glanced indifferently at Xiao Qingyu's corpse and said, "What a fool. He thought that becoming a battle formation master meant he could do whatever he wanted."

This continental hunting war concerns the future of our Desolate Palace. The loss of a mere 10,000-pattern battle array master is a loss indeed.

Although the battle formation masters were carefully trained by their Earth Desolate Palace, in terms of true value, in the mind of Venerable Nether Skull, they were not worth the 400,000 Destruction Source Pills.

"This entire gambling game was started by Xiao Qingyu. If you want to destroy the Origin Pill, then go find him."

Venerable Nether Skull paused, then looked at Lin Langtian, King Wuji, and the others with an even colder gaze, and said, "Now, I should settle the score with you for the death of my Earthly Desolate Palace's battle formation masters!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his palm, and a chilling voice echoed: "First, kill that Earth King and bury him with me!"

Behind them, upon hearing this, the Wreck-It Ralph and his men also felt a surge of killing intent in their eyes.

Immediately, the Destroyer moved and appeared directly beside the Earth King, pressing his palm against the latter's crown. With a surge of spiritual power, he intended to shatter the latter's physical body.

However, just as the Destroyer King was about to strike the Earth King's crown, his body suddenly froze, and then a faint, aged laugh seemed to follow.

"Mingku, you old scoundrel are truly shameless, actually taking advantage of a loophole to bully the juniors. However, with this old man here, it won't be as easy for you to kill the people of my Qiankun Sect."

When that aged voice rang out, everyone saw that the space behind the Destroyer King ripple slightly.

An aged figure appeared, his hand clenched, and a terrifying pressure of spiritual energy enveloped him, as if freezing space, directly rendering the Destroyer King's body completely immobile.

The palm print that was about to fall hovered above the crown of the Earthly King's head, unable to land.

On the other side, when the higher-ups of the Qiankun Sect saw that old figure, their eyes immediately lit up with surprise and delight.

Because the person who appeared was none other than the Second Elder, one of the three elders of their Qiankun Sect!
Upon seeing the newcomer, Venerable Nether Skull's expression darkened slightly, and he coldly snorted, "You old codger, you really are a persistent ghost."

The Second Elder smiled, then looked at the Destroyer King who had been frozen in place, and said with a faint smile, "Alright, let's end today's business here."

"Is this the end?"

Venerable Nether Skull said in a sinister tone, "Your Qiankun Sect caused the death of my Earthly Desolate Palace's only battle formation master. Do you think this matter is so good?"

"Didn't you kill him yourself?"

The Second Elder chuckled, "However, considering you've lost a Battle Formation Master, my Qiankun Sect won't need your 400,000 Destruction Source Pills." (End of Chapter)
