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

Outside the ancient Body Refining Tower, rampant spiritual energy swept out like a storm from the reception platforms.

Of the twenty reception platforms, Lin Langtian's place was the quickest to become calm.

Unlike other chaotic places, after he utterly defeated the man in red robes, no one else attempted to challenge him on the stage.

After all, even Zong Lin chose other reception platforms because he was wary of Lin Langtian's strength, so these spirit beast prodigies naturally wouldn't want to make trouble for themselves.

Seeing that no one was challenging him, Lin Langtian, feeling bored, looked at the other nineteen reception platforms, where the fierce battles were still ongoing.

Amidst the frenzied eruption of spiritual energy, countless divine beasts of various shapes appeared, their roars echoing and shaking the heavens.

At the same time, Qin Jun and Tian Ling suffered a setback and were forced off the welcoming platform. When they saw Lin Langtian looking at them, they couldn't help but smile with envy.

Lin Langtian could only offer a consoling smile in response.

Although Qin Jun is a seventh-rank supreme being, his strength is not outstanding. Therefore, in this competition full of powerful individuals, he obviously cannot gain much advantage.

With Qin Jun in such a state, Tian Ling is even less likely to be able to defend the Reception Platform. Although she possesses the bloodline of the phoenix, her foundation is too weak, and she is only a half-step seventh-grade supreme being.

Lin Langtian then fixed his gaze on the reception platform where Tianfeng was located, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily when his gaze fell upon it.

Tianfeng's opponent was a thin, handsome man with a pair of fiery red wings spread out from his back.

Countless rays of light whistled around him, unleashing a fierce and unparalleled sword aura that tore the space apart, leaving it riddled with holes.

He was a prodigy of the Yanhe clan, and his strength had reached the seventh rank of Supreme.

That sharp sword energy was even stronger than that of the red-robed man from the Peng Clan, clearly making him a formidable opponent.

However, Tianfeng remained calm and expressionless as he stared at the Yanhe Clan's prodigy in the face of his fierce and unparalleled offensive.

The next moment, he suddenly formed a hand seal, and a phoenix cry that resounded throughout the heavens and earth suddenly emanated from his body.

Bang!
Crimson phoenix wings stretched out from behind Tianfeng at this moment, each about a hundred feet long.

Then, the phoenix wings suddenly flapped, and a dark red flame condensed, within which the image of a phoenix seemed to emerge. Finally, it swept out like a sea of ​​fire, covering the sky and the earth.

Upon seeing this, the man from the Flame Crane Clan's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Aren't you from the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan? How do you possess Phoenix Flame?!"

raging!

On the welcoming platform, Phoenix Flame swept across in an instant, colliding with the whistling, sharp sword feathers.

Instantly, the sword feathers melted away, while the phoenix flames, like maggots clinging to bones, swept directly towards the man from the Flame Crane Clan.

The latter's expression changed drastically, and he immediately retreated, disappearing from the reception platform in a few flashes.

Then he glared at Tianfeng hatefully before quickly walking away.

Many powerful figures around also had a slight change in expression, clearly not expecting that Tian Feng would actually possess the Phoenix Flame.

"Phoenix Flame..."

Lin Langtian was not surprised to see this scene.

After all, he had seen it on Tianling before, but now it seems that the Tianfeng siblings have a close relationship with the Phoenix Clan.

Tianfeng noticed Lin Langtian's gaze and nodded in acknowledgment.

He didn't expect that even Qin Jun and Tian Ling failed to seize the reception platform, while Lin Langtian successfully defended it.

It seems that Lin Langtian's strength is greater than he expected.

boom!
After the results were revealed on the guidance platforms for Lin Langtian and Tianfeng, the results on other guidance platforms also began to become clear one after another.

The one who first stunned the entire audience was Han Yue from the Rhinoceros Demon Clan.

His opponent was Xu Jie, a member of the equally formidable Demon Elephant Clan.

Both of them possessed overwhelming power, so their clash was almost like a fierce battle between an ancient rhinoceros and a giant elephant.

Each impact will cause the earth to tremble.

However, after exchanging hundreds of blows, it was clear that Han Yue was the stronger one.

After being forced back by Han Yue, Xu Jie didn't waste any words and immediately turned around and rushed towards another reception platform.

The opponents there were clearly much easier to deal with than Han Yue.

Following Han Yue, the next person to occupy a reception platform was Zong Lin of the Tianpeng Clan.

This person is indeed exceptionally strong, one of the best here, and thus easily secured a reception platform.

After that, the remaining platforms, after fierce competition, gradually came to a conclusion...

These prodigies almost all came from powerful spirit beast clans such as the Devouring Crocodile Clan, the Dragon Ape Clan, and the Demon Elephant Clan, which were no less formidable than the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan…

Lin Langtian's gaze swept across the area, finally stopping at a reception platform at the very end, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This person was none other than the black-robed man from the Thunder Raven Clan whom they had encountered in the asteroid belt.

When Lin Langtian looked at the man in black robes, the latter also noticed and raised his head.

When he saw Lin Langtian, his brows furrowed.

However, Lin Langtian did not pay too much attention to him and instead looked away.

After a fierce struggle, the twenty reception platforms have finally calmed down. Judging from the situation, the twenty people who remained are the most powerful people in the area.

Because of Lin Langtian, the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan has two spots, making them a top-tier group among the many spirit beast clans.

Boom!

Five minutes later, an ancient buzzing sound suddenly came from inside the Body Refining Tower.

On the surface of the ancient body-refining tower, light flowed, eventually transforming into twenty beams of light that roared out, completely enveloping the twenty figures on the twenty receiving platforms.

call out!
The beam of light whistled back, bringing back figures before finally rolling back and shooting into the ancient body-refining tower.

Seeing this, the many powerful figures outside the tower all wore expressions of helpless envy...

At the same time, light swept through Lin Langtian, and after only a few dozen breaths, he felt a jolt in his body, followed by spatial disorder, and the scenery around him immediately changed...

As darkness receded like a tide, what filled the eye was an endless expanse of reddish-yellow desert.

In the desert, there was no wind, and the whole world seemed to be dead silent, without a trace of life.

The place where Lin Langtian stood was an ancient stone platform, from which spiritual light emanated, forming a light shield that enveloped him.

The next moment, Lin Langtian raised his head and saw that above this endless desert, there was a dark red sun suspended in the sky.

The blazing sun burned like a fireball, its intense heat seeming capable of scorching the earth. Although Lin Langtian was currently blocked from the outside world by the stone platform, he could still sense it.

The desert outside, under that blazing sun, is probably no less intensely hot than a sea of ​​lava.

Meanwhile, in that faraway place, stone platforms also appeared.

Within the stone platform, figures emerged one after another; these were the other nineteen individuals who had also qualified to enter the Ancient Body Refining Tower.

Buzz!

As everyone appeared, the light shield formed by the stone platform suddenly began to fluctuate.

Then the light gathered in front of Lin Langtian and the others, and actually transformed into some ancient characters.

"The Body Refinement Tower has five levels. There are no rules within the tower, and anyone who enters the fifth level will receive a divine opportunity..."

Looking at these few dozen words, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Supernatural powers!
It should be known that even a powerful expert at the level of Earthly Sovereign would be tempted by such a supernatural power.

The glowing characters lasted for a while before gradually fading away.

At the same time, the light barrier around the stone platform began to dim gradually, as if it were about to shatter.

Bear!
The next moment, the instant the light shield dissipated, the slightly reddish sunlight shone directly down into the world.

A terrifying heat emanated from him, turning Lin Langtian's skin red and making his blood seem to boil.

My whole being seemed to be burning up under the sunlight.

"What a terrifying temperature!" Lin Langtian's expression hardened. If it were an ordinary seventh-grade supreme being, they would probably be roasted into a suckling pig by now!
Just then, Zong Lin of the Tianpeng Clan waved his hand, and a golden light flew out, forming a golden umbrella above him.

Above that golden umbrella, it seemed as if a golden roc was soaring with outstretched wings.

Immediately afterwards, beams of golden light emanated from the umbrella, blocking the crimson sunlight shining down from the sky.

This golden umbrella was clearly extraordinary. Although it could not completely block out the terrifying heat of this place, it did block out the most terrifying red light.

In this way, Zong Lin's journey across the desert will be much easier.

At the same time, various kinds of spiritual light began to bloom from the hands of the prodigies of other spirit beast races, and in various ways, they also blocked the crimson light in the sky...

Even on Tianfeng's body, crimson phoenix feathers appeared.

A flash of crimson light formed flames that enveloped him, thus shielding him from the intense heat that made it difficult to move.

In contrast, Lin Langtian's brute force approach, which relied solely on his physical body, drew considerable ridicule.

"Haha, everyone, let's see who wants to reach the fifth level the most!"

Han Yue of the Rhinoceros Demon Clan glanced at Lin Langtian, then burst into laughter. His figure shot out and headed towards the distant desert.

call out!call out!
Following him, several others also shot out, eagerly entering the second level of the Body Refining Tower, and rushing towards that final opportunity for supernatural power.

Tianfeng walked at the back. He glanced at Lin Langtian, who was standing on the stone platform without making any move, hesitated slightly, and could only send a telepathic message.

"The crimson light here has the effect of burning spiritual energy... If you are unable to withstand it, you can simply withdraw your thoughts and leave the Body Refining Tower."

"Thank you, Brother Tian, ​​you may go ahead." Lin Langtian replied telepathically, his eyes calm and unwavering.

Tianfeng nodded and didn't linger any longer. Phoenix feathers flashed, enveloping his body, and then transformed into flames as he swiftly fled into the distance.

With their departure, the area once again became deathly silent.

Lin Langtian looked up at the blazing red sun, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"Since it's a Body Refinement Tower, why rely on external forces to get through it..." Lin Langtian muttered to himself. He looked down at his palm and then suddenly clenched it.

If he summons the Qiankun Demon-Suppressing Tower, with the power of this sacred artifact, it would be very easy for Lin Langtian to successfully pass through the first level of the Desert Purgatory.

But since this tower is for body refinement, it must be passed through with pure physical strength.

This process is undoubtedly agonizing, but for the physical body, it is also a form of tempering and refining.

Thinking of this, the spiritual energy around Lin Langtian gradually dissipated.

He spread his hands, exposing his body completely and without reservation to the terrifying crimson light.

Thus, the terrifying high temperature, like magma eroding a body, swept in and encroached upon everything.

Bear!
Lin Langtian's skin was almost instantly burned away by that terrifying red light. A piercing pain spread from all over his body, causing Lin Langtian to gasp for breath.

However, immediately afterward, Lin Langtian had a thought, and golden light emanated from the surface of his body.

The dragon god pattern coiled on his chest seemed to come back to life at this moment, and began to slowly move, while the burns on his body also began to heal rapidly.

A faint coolness quietly emanated, which finally alleviated some of the excruciating pain.

Sensing that the intense pain within his body had lessened, Lin Langtian's eyes flickered slightly. Without further hesitation, he stepped off the stone platform and into the desert.

After making some mental choices, he did not choose to fly directly across the desert.

Instead, he chose the slowest method, walking, and used the red light to temper his physical body.

laugh!
As soon as Lin Langtian stepped into the desert, white smoke rose from beneath his feet, making it feel as if he had stepped into lava.

However, Lin Langtian didn't care at all. He took a step forward, braving the overwhelming crimson light, and headed deeper into the desert.

In the desolate desert, faint footsteps could be heard as Lin Langtian slowly traversed the yellow sand.

Although it felt like being scorched by molten lava, Lin Langtian's steps were slow but firm.

Even though his flesh was burning painfully, he still didn't stop.

At the same time, Lin Langtian could also feel that when the terrifying crimson light shone on his flesh, it brought a burning pain.

But as the excruciating pain reaches its peak, the flesh and blood within the body slowly become stronger.

And this flesh and blood seemed to be devouring the red light that penetrated through the skin and periosteum.

Every time flesh and blood absorbed a sliver of crimson light, an explosive power would quietly emerge.

Although the crimson light here will cause excruciating pain, like being burned, once you adapt to and endure this pain, your body will also receive the gifts that the crimson light brings.

"As expected of the Body Refinement Tower..."

Lin Langtian clenched his dry, parched hands. He could clearly feel the vibrant life force within his flesh and blood after the excruciating pain.

He estimated that in this short half-hour, the enhancement of his physical body was probably no less than that of the Blood Spirit Clay Embryo he had refined before! (End of Chapter)
