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

The seven Earth Sovereigns stood in mid-air, their eyes fixed on the purple-robed man, clearly showing their extreme fear of him.

Under their watchful gaze, the man in purple robes finally opened his tightly closed eyes.

boom!
In an instant, the vast ocean below seemed to surge with towering waves.

The thunderous roar seemed to be a celebration of the former owner's return.

A spiritual pressure far more terrifying than any of Qian Tian's group slowly emanated from the purple-robed man's body.

Upon sensing this powerful spiritual energy, the pupils of the seven Earth Sovereigns couldn't help but shrink.

"How could the spirit left behind by this purple-robed man possess such powerful strength?" Huang Kurong said in a deep voice.

Generally speaking, even if this purple-robed man was a supreme being in his previous life, he has already perished. Even if his spirit body still retains power, it is unlikely to be this strong.

"This is probably not an ordinary spirit body. In his eyes, there is no consciousness whatsoever." The beautiful woman in the red dress, Fairy Chilian, from the Heavenly Demon Sect, said with a glint in her eyes.

Qian Tian nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment he said, "It is indeed not an ordinary spirit body. If I am not mistaken, this should be a spirit puppet refined using a special method."

Before his demise, the purple-robed man infused it with his spiritual power and, through some strange methods, preserved it for protection.

Hearing Qian Tian's words, Huang Kurong and the others were slightly surprised. This purple-robed man was indeed powerful, as he was able to create such a powerful puppet.

"No matter how powerful this spirit puppet is, I don't think it can be a high-level Earthly Sovereign. As long as it's not a high-level Earthly Sovereign, the seven of us working together should be able to defeat it!" The Blood Nether Palace Master sneered.

"Everyone, let's take action together!"

Upon hearing the shout from the Lord of Blood Nether Palace, Qian Tian and the others nodded. To enter this stone island, they clearly had to defeat the spirit puppet left behind by the purple-robed man.

To defeat them, they must join forces.

boom!
A massive torrent of spiritual energy, tens of thousands of feet high, roared out from around the seven people.

"go with!"

The next moment, the seven Earth Sovereigns joined forces to attack. A vast and mighty river of spiritual energy pierced through the sky, like a giant dragon baring its fangs and claws, and roared directly towards the purple-robed man.

When the seven supreme beings of the earth made their move, the man in purple robes also stood up from the crystal light barrier.

Its eyes were indifferent as it watched the terrifying onslaught rushing towards it, and then it suddenly raised its hands.

boom!
The moment the purple-robed man raised his hands, the vast ocean below suddenly surged forth, with towering waves shooting straight into the sky.

The waves of spiritual energy swept in, quickly transforming into a massive whirlpool around the purple-robed man.

boom!boom!
Seven streams of spiritual energy pierced through, crashing fiercely against the enormous vortex.

In an instant, the heavens and earth began to tremble violently.

Although each stream of spiritual energy crystals slowed down the rotation of the spiritual energy vortex, it still failed to shatter it.

"That man in purple robes is terrifying!"

Watching this earth-shattering battle from afar, Lin Langtian and the others couldn't help but be moved.

The purple-robed man had clearly perished, yet he was still able to fight with ease against the combined forces of the seven Earthly Sovereigns. Such methods were terrifying.

Boom!

While they were moved, the battle in the distance was gradually intensifying.

Having witnessed the power of the purple-robed humanoid puppet, Qian Tian and the other six dared not hold back in the slightest.

The seven Earth Supremes pushed their strength to the limit, and their boundless spiritual power seemed to create a world behind them.

The dazzling spiritual energy was continuously crystallized and bombarded the purple-robed man from all directions.

Under such a fierce bombardment, the space within tens of thousands of feet around the stone island was completely shattered.

Despite the fierce attacks from the seven Earth Sovereigns, the purple-robed man remained firmly guarding the top of the stone island.

"I wonder how long this battle will last," the Grand Elder said with a wry smile, gazing at the earth-shattering battle from the far rear.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could tell that the seven Earth Sovereigns had no intention of joining forces; otherwise, this spirit puppet alone probably wouldn't have been able to stop the seven lower-level Earth Sovereigns.

"Everyone from the Qiankun Sect, listen to my command! I will find an opportunity to tear a crack in the crystal shield. You will seize the chance to rush in and retrieve the Spirit Elixir!"

Just as Lin Langtian was pondering, Qian Tian's solemn voice suddenly rang in their ears.

Upon suddenly hearing the telepathic message, the three elders and Lin Langtian were slightly taken aback. They then exchanged glances and nodded almost imperceptibly.

It seems the seven Earth Sovereigns are all tied up; they'll have to step in next.
Rumble!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a glint flashed in Qian Tian's majestic golden eyes. Then, he flicked his finger, and a dazzling sword light shot out from his fingertip.

Chi Chi!

That sword light was so sharp that it even tore a gap in the incredibly sturdy crystal shield in an instant.

"It's now!"

Qian Tian uttered a soft shout in his heart, and a spirit boat transformed into a stream of light that shot out from behind. Just as the gap was about to close, it directly passed through it.

Inside that spirit boat were three elders, Lin Langtian, and others.

"It's been sent in!" Qian Tian felt a sense of relief upon seeing this.

However, the next moment, he suddenly saw that in several other directions, the other six Earthly Sovereigns simultaneously unleashed their powerful forces, tearing gaps in the crystal light shield.

At the same time the gap appeared, light swept in from behind them and rushed into the stone island.

These cunning old foxes all came up with the same method!

They also sent their men into the stone island, hoping they would search for the Spirit Elixir and then seize it.

Qian Tian raised his head, just as the other six Earthly Sovereigns exchanged glances, then all gave a forced, insincere smile.
……

An ancient aura permeated the interior of the stone island.

Amidst the rubble, a flash of spiritual light appeared, and figures materialized.

These figures were none other than the many powerful figures from the Qiankun Sect. As soon as they appeared, they immediately activated their spiritual power to protect themselves, and then their eyes scanned their surroundings warily.

However, this precaution seems somewhat unnecessary.

The entire stone island was currently silent, and no sudden attacks had occurred. However, just as Lin Langtian lowered his guard, the expressions of the First Elder, Second Elder, and others suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

"No!" the Grand Elder said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed as he clenched his fist. "The spiritual energy within my body is being severely suppressed!"

"My spiritual power has also been restricted!" The Second Elder and the Third Elder's expressions changed slightly.

Upon hearing this, the kings hurriedly sensed the spiritual energy within their bodies, and their expressions immediately turned somewhat grim.

Clearly, their perception yielded the same result.

A thoughtful look flashed in Lin Langtian's eyes. He sensed the spiritual power within his body and, unsurprisingly, noticed its weakening.

However, this weakening does not seem to be particularly strong; overall, it is still within his acceptable range.

"My spiritual power has been weakened by more than 70%!" The Grand Elder's face was extremely grim.

With over 70% suppression, his spiritual power at this moment is probably only comparable to that of a seventh-grade supreme being.

“We should be around 60%,” the Second Elder and the Third Elder exchanged a glance and said.

“We’ve been suppressed by nearly half,” said Long Spear King and some others who had reached the sixth rank of Supreme.

Lin Langtian was slightly taken aback upon hearing their reports, then said, "I was also suppressed, but the suppression was minor, probably reducing my spiritual power by about 20%."

At this point, everyone understood that on this stone island, it seemed that the stronger a person was, the stronger the suppression of spiritual power would be.

Lin Langtian's eyes flickered slightly. In that case, this place was an unexpected surprise for someone like him whose combat power far exceeded his own realm.

"This stone island is indeed not simple." The First Elder frowned and said. His realm was suppressed the most, so his mood was extremely solemn.

"Fortunately, people from other factions should also be under the same suppression," the Second Elder said.

"Let's act together and find the Spirit Elixir first." The Third Elder raised his head, looking into the depths of the stone island, and pondered.

Wuji Wang and the others nodded in agreement. At present, their strength was greatly suppressed and their combat power was greatly reduced. They had to unite to deal with any unexpected events.

Once everyone reached a consensus, they no longer hesitated and immediately transformed into streaks of light, hurtling directly toward the center of the stone island.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any obstacles or ambushes along the way, and the smoothness of the journey made them feel somewhat unbelievable.

After traveling at high speed for more than ten minutes, their speed finally slowed down.

At this moment, they have begun to reach the center of the stone island.

At the summit of a mountain, Lin Langtian and his companions appeared, their gazes fixed ahead.

There, a vast lake, roughly ten thousand feet in size, could be seen.

The lake is emerald green, like jade liquid, and there seems to be a faint fragrance emanating from the water. A light mist hangs over the surface of the lake, making the whole lake look somewhat ethereal.

"This is the center of this stone island, and also the region with the most abundant spiritual energy. The Spirit God Liquid must be here!" The Third Elder stared at the lake and said excitedly.

The elder's gaze swept across the area, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Then he said in a deep voice, "Someone is coming!"

Just as his voice fell, Lin Langtian and the others noticed the sound of something cutting through the air coming rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, several streaks of light flashed by from afar, eventually transforming into beams of light and shadow that landed on the mountains surrounding the vast lake.

These figures of light and shadow are the people from the other top forces. Obviously, they were also torn apart by their respective forces' leaders and then took the opportunity to sneak into this stone island.

"Trying to snatch the Spirit Elixir is really troublesome," the Spear King couldn't help but curse.

With these guys involved, it seems that seizing the Spirit God Liquid won't be so easy this time.

As powerful figures from all sides gathered again, the atmosphere became somewhat tense, but for the time being, everyone was on guard against each other, and no fight broke out immediately.

Wow!
Just as all sides were on guard, suddenly, a clear, crisp sound seemed to come from the vast lake.

Under the watchful eyes of all the powerful figures who had arrived, enormous whirlpools appeared in the center of the lake.

Within the vortex, light surged, and countless dazzling orbs of light were continuously spewed out from it.

At this moment, Lin Langtian and the others all turned their gazes to the balls of light that were suddenly spewed out.

Within that ball of light, a burst of brilliant spiritual light shot out, dazzling and radiant like a blazing sun.

Within each ball of light, astonishing fluctuations of spiritual energy emanated.

"Those are..." Lin Langtian and the others stared at the orbs of light, their pupils suddenly narrowing.

Because from those dazzling lights, they could clearly see the shadows of some objects, even things that looked like swords, scrolls, and luminous cauldrons.

Although they couldn't see clearly what was inside the ball of light, just from the fluctuations in spiritual energy, Lin Langtian and the others knew that these were definitely not ordinary things.

“Those must be the spiritual treasures within this secret treasure trove!” The elder’s eyes flashed as he moved among the orbs of light.

"Perhaps the Spirit Elixir is among them!"

Upon hearing this, Wuji Wang and the others were startled, and their breathing became heavy.

Lin Langtian's heart also tightened slightly at this moment. Then he glanced at the direction where the powerful figures from other forces were located and found that their eyes were also gradually turning red.

Although the eyes of all the forces were gradually turning bloodshot, the situation was strangely quiet.
Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that this eerie silence was just the prelude to the coming storm.

Now that the treasure has appeared, any faction that wants to seize it will be embroiled in a bloody and chaotic battle.

Lin Langtian's prediction was correct; this fragile silence lasted only a few dozen breaths.

At a certain moment, the strongest person among the various forces simultaneously let out a low shout.

"Make your move! We must seize the Spirit Elixir!"

The moment the sound rang out, the First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder shot out almost simultaneously.

Their target was the dazzling ball of light shooting out from the vast lake.

At the same instant, from other directions, the strongest from each side also shot out like ghosts.

A surge of violent spiritual energy erupted almost instantly from the area surrounding the vast lake! (End of Chapter)
