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

Above the vast ocean, all forces retreated far away, each occupying their own part of the sky.

A vast expanse of rosy light burst forth, painting the entire space in vibrant colors.

Where the Qiankun Sect's many forces were located, Lin Langtian and his group watched this scene with expressions of amazement.

The sight of seven supreme beings cultivating simultaneously is a rare and spectacular occurrence.

Their gaze gradually returned to what was before them, where a purple glow was blooming.

In the center of that purple light, one could faintly see a majestic figure sitting cross-legged.

Although Qian Tian did not intentionally release his aura, the terrifying spiritual energy surging during cultivation still created an extremely terrifying pressure, causing many powerful figures in the Qiankun Sect to feel a slight chill on their scalps.

And in another part of the sky, there were six more beams of similar radiance!

Moreover, as Qian Tian and the others continued their cultivation, they could all feel that the seven powerful rays of light were rapidly expanding.

"This kind of cultivation truly absorbs the essence of heaven and earth..." Jiang Yinlan gazed at the magnificent scene before her, and couldn't help but sigh, her eyes filled with longing.

Lin Langtian's eyes flickered slightly, then as if he had thought of something, he closed his eyes and focused his mind into his dantian.

At this moment, Lin Langtian's dantian was like a scorching inferno, emitting an incredibly terrifying temperature.

At the center of the dantian, a mysterious crimson giant bird, as if it came from the deepest abyss, floated within the dantian, carrying surging crimson flames.

The crimson giant bird was surrounded by red flames. Its body was not particularly clear, and it was probably impossible for others to tell what kind of spirit beast it was. However, even if it could not be identified, judging from its aura, it was in no way inferior to the seven top earth sovereigns of the Qiankun Continent!

Lin Langtian's gaze pierced through the overwhelming crimson light. On the back of the crimson giant bird, a charming and mature figure sat quietly, with terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from her body.

That figure was none other than Aunt Ling!
Since obtaining the essence blood of the Kun God, Aunt Ling has been in seclusion to break through her limits, and her momentum has gradually increased, even showing signs of being no less than that of top experts in the Qiankun Continent such as Qian Tian and Huang Kurong.

However, Lin Langtian could sense that even with the help of the Kun God's essence blood, Aunt Ling was still one step away from restoring her peak strength.

After a moment's thought, Lin Langtian dripped the second perfect-grade spirit liquid, which was copied by the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror, into Aunt Ling, who was in seclusion.

For Lin Langtian, although the perfect-grade spirit liquid was precious, it was of little use to him at the moment. On the contrary, Aunt Ling had helped him a lot along the way, and now that Aunt Ling was in a critical situation, he naturally would not sit idly by.

Secondly, Lin Langtian had a feeling that something was amiss with Huang Ku Rong. Although he was currently being protected by Sect Master Qian Tian, ​​only when Aunt Ling recovered her peak strength would he feel truly safe.

"Aunt Ling...you must succeed..." Lin Langtian murmured, gazing at the mature and alluring figure whose aura was growing stronger.

……

As time slowly passed, seven magnificent rays of light enveloped this space, emanating a terrifying spiritual pressure that seemed to cause even space itself to distort unbearably.

As the six Earthly Sovereigns continued their cultivation, the oppressive aura emanating from their bodies grew stronger and stronger.

hum!
Suddenly, a massive rainbow beam, tens of thousands of feet long, shot into the sky from this distorted world. The beam was like a giant pillar supporting the heavens, as if it had pierced through this entire space.

Immediately afterwards, within that enormous rainbow light tens of thousands of feet long, an old man dressed in a white robe adorned with stars sat quietly in meditation. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered behind him like a tide, and faintly, the sound of the tide could be heard.

"It's the Pavilion Master of the Starry Sky Pavilion!" The Second Elder's eyes flashed with spiritual light as he said in a deep voice.

"His strength has improved, but he probably hasn't broken through," the Grand Elder added.

The master of the Starry Sky Pavilion must have made some progress with the help of the Spirit God Liquid, but he is clearly still far from reaching the level of a true supreme being.

As soon as he finished speaking, massive beams of rainbow light shot into the sky once again.

Within each rainbow of light, there was a figure standing with his hands behind his back. The terrifying pressure emanating from their bodies made the spiritual energy of the world tremble.

"That's the Lord of the Blood Nether Palace; his strength has increased considerably..."

"And there's the Barbarian Emperor of the Barbarian Sect... the Crimson Serpent Fairy of the Heavenly Demon Sect... the Spirit God Ancestor of Spirit God Mountain... They've all absorbed and refined their respective Spirit God Liquids, and although their strength has increased, none of them have broken through!"

The eyes of the kings of the Qiankun Sect flashed rapidly, and in the end, they were secretly shocked.

Unexpectedly, it is so difficult for the Upper Earthly Sovereign to break through. Currently, all five Earthly Sovereigns have failed.

In that distant realm, the five Earthly Sovereigns also frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with their defeat.

However, they were helpless in the face of this. The gap between each level of the Earthly Sovereigns was enormous, and it was obviously not a simple matter to bridge the gap easily.

"Now that the five Earthly Sovereigns have completed their cultivation, only Qian Tian, ​​the master of the Qiankun Sect, and Huang Kurong of the Earthly Desolation Palace remain..."

The powerful figures from all sides of the world couldn't help but turn their gazes to the two still bright rays of light in the sky.

Even the five Earthly Sovereigns who had completed their cultivation had a more solemn expression.

Because they knew very well that among the seven of them, the most likely to achieve a breakthrough were Qian Tian and Huang Kurong.

Both of them were once the pride of the Qiankun Sect. After so many years of hard work, they were already close to becoming Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

In particular, Qian Tian possesses a perfect-grade Spirit Elixir, which could very well allow him to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Clearly, regardless of whether the ultimate breakthrough leads to the highest level of the Earthly Sovereign, the power structure of the Qiankun Continent will be altered as a result.

While all the forces in the world waited anxiously, the area where Qian Tian and Huang Kurong were located finally began to show signs of movement.

boom!
boom!
Suddenly, a thunderous sound resounded from within the two beams of light.

That was not the sound of real thunder, but rather a tremendous sound that erupted from the friction of spiritual energy.

The powerful commotion also caused various forces to look on with surprise and uncertainty.

They could naturally see that the momentum of Qian Tian and Huang Kurong seemed to be even stronger than that of the previous five Earthly Sovereigns.

Could it be that both of them have broken through to the Upper Earthly Sovereign level?
Rumble!
The roar between heaven and earth grew more and more intense, until it was like a tidal wave, terrifying beyond belief.

Just as the thunder reached its peak, a torrential downpour suddenly began in that area.

Those were no ordinary raindrops, but rather formed entirely from condensed spiritual energy, which then poured down in a dense, howling torrent. Whoosh!
The spiritual rain poured down, but it wasn't wasted. As it fell halfway down, it quickly coalesced into columns of spiritual energy, eventually disappearing into the two beams of light…

Within the radiant light, two figures could be vaguely seen, seemingly opening their mouths as if whales were sucking in water, drawing in all the pure spiritual energy columns.

This absorption continued for a full ten minutes before the strange phenomenon in the world slowly faded away.

The rosy clouds began to recede, and finally, as the light faded, two figures appeared clearly in the tense gazes of the powerful figures from all sides.

Qian Tian was still dressed in a golden robe, exuding an aura of majesty and dominance. Compared to before, his golden eyes seemed to have become even more profound.

Standing still, it is like a stone that calms the heavens, causing all things to descend in tranquility.

In another place, Huang Kurong was dressed in a black robe. Although he had a handsome face, he exuded a domineering aura that made all things submit to him.

The two stood in mid-air, their gazes seemingly meeting.

In that instant, the space at the point of eye contact was suddenly torn apart, and the ocean below also shattered at that moment.

Behind them, immense spiritual energy surged, within which the flow of mountains and rivers seemed to faintly appear and disappear, incredibly mysterious…

"Spiritual power transforms mountains and rivers..."

Upon seeing this, the five supreme beings' pupils immediately contracted.

Such a phenomenon can only occur when one reaches the level of a supreme being, where the spiritual power within the body can resonate with the spiritual power of heaven and earth, thus triggering this phenomenon.

However, since Qian Tian and Huang Kurong do not possess the true pressure of a Supreme Being, there is only one conclusion: both of them have reached the level of a half-step Supreme Being!
"A half-step Upper Earthly Sovereign?"

The kings of the Qiankun Sect watched this scene and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qian Tian did not break through to the Upper Earthly Sovereign level, this result was already unexpected, and he was in no way lagging behind Huang Ku Rong.

"Hehe... Senior Brother Qian is indeed extraordinary, actually able to catch up with me with his hidden ailment..." Huang Kurong sensed his own condition, then smiled slightly and said.

Qian Tian glanced at him indifferently with his golden eyes and said coldly, "With the help of the perfect-grade spiritual liquid, the hidden ailment in my body has been cured. In other words, the position of the superior earthly sovereign is just around the corner. At that time, I will personally crush you traitors."

Upon hearing this, Huang Kurong's face stiffened slightly, then he sneered and turned his gaze to the other five Earthly Sovereigns.

A meaningful smile appeared on his handsome face, and then he said, "Gentlemen, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are interested?"

Upon hearing Huang Kurong's words, the five Earthly Sovereigns narrowed their eyes slightly, and their hearts skipped a beat.

What do you think of this desolation and prosperity now?
"What does the Lord of the Desolate Palace want?" the Spirit God Ancestor said in a deep voice.

Huang Kurong smiled slightly, a seemingly gentle smile that couldn't conceal his domineering nature. His powerful voice resounded throughout the space like thunder.

"The Qiankun Continent has been separated for a long time. Today, I intend to unify the Qiankun Continent. What do you all think?"

"What? Integrate the entire Qiankun Continent?"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the room. Whether it was other forces or the powerful figures of the Earth Desolate Palace, everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

Especially the five supreme beings, after exchanging glances, all showed expressions of anger.

Huang Kurong wanted to subdue them, but how could these top power leaders possibly let him have his way?
After all, who among the Earthly Sovereigns isn't proud and arrogant? How could they possibly abandon their pride and bow slightly to Huang Ku Rong?

Moreover, besides Huang Kurong, a half-step advanced Earthly Sovereign, Qian Tian was also at the same level. Given the grudges between the latter and the Earthly Desolate Palace, it was impossible for Huang Kurong to get his way.

Therefore, the sudden public display of such thoughts by Huang Ku Rong at this time was truly perplexing to all parties involved, yet they also became wary of it.

"Hmph, your Desolate Palace's appetite is far too great. You actually want to swallow us up and dominate this Qiankun Continent!"

The Barbarian Emperor of the Barbarian Clan was straightforward and honest. Although he was somewhat wary of Huang Ku Rong, he did not back down step by step. He immediately confronted Huang Ku Rong and said in a cold voice.

"However, I must also say something blunt: if you want to dominate the Qiankun Continent, I'm afraid you're not qualified with your current strength as a half-step Upper Earthly Sovereign!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Kurong's eyes narrowed slightly. He chuckled and said, "So you think my strength is too low and I haven't truly stepped into the realm of the Upper Earthly Sovereign?"

The leaders of the various top powers remained noncommittal upon hearing this.

Upon seeing this, Huang Kurong's lips curled into a strange smile, and the next moment his expression suddenly turned sharp.

The roar, like thunder, resounded throughout the heavens and earth, causing the world to tremble violently, and the expressions of the powerful figures from all sides changed drastically.

"Since that's the case, then I'll show you with my own eyes today what difficulty it is for me to break through to the Upper Earthly Sovereign realm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, under the astonished gazes of many in the world, Huang Kurong suddenly opened his arms with a strange smile on his face.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes turned completely black, and thick, ink-like black energy swept out, its overwhelming force causing the space around him to shatter.

That black aura was indescribably powerful, and it seemed to contain a strange power that was completely out of place in this world.

Huang Kurong stood amidst the swirling black mist. He opened his arms and took a deep breath, and the billowing black mist flowed into his body through his nostrils.

As the black energy surged in, Huang Kurong's hair grew rapidly, and the pressure emanating from his body also increased at an astonishing rate.

In just a dozen breaths, his aura surpassed that of Qian Tian, ​​who was also a half-step upper-level Earthly Sovereign!
Upon seeing this, the several Earthly Sovereigns present seemed to realize something, and they gasped sharply, angrily exclaiming, "This kind of evil is the power of that extraterrestrial evil race!"

"Huang Ku Rong, you're insane! You actually dared to touch such power!"

As the various Earthly Sovereigns were shocked and rebuked, Huang Kurong smiled slightly amidst the overwhelming black mist in the sky, though his smile seemed to have become much more sinister at this moment.

He enjoyed the feeling of that powerful force surging within his body and laughed, "This is the residual power of the Evil King of Ten Thousand Calamities sealed here."

Haha, this power, though evil, is not enough to corrupt me.

Once I have completely made it my own, I will be able to take the final step and become a true supreme being! (End of Chapter)
