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

The seemingly endless desert finally begins to end here.

At that end, a huge crimson light descended, like a natural barrier, dividing this world into two parts.

Even the crimson light that permeated the desert paled in comparison to the crimson light barrier before them.

Meanwhile, in mid-air before this red light barrier, several figures stood suspended in mid-air.

They stared at the red screen in front of them, their expressions all rather grim.

"Is this the barrier leading to the second level...?"

At the very front, Zong Lin stood in mid-air, holding the top-tier divine artifact, the golden umbrella, which enveloped most of the crimson light pouring down from the sky.

Even so, he was covered in sweat, his skin was extremely dry, and his face was an unnaturally reddish color.

Elsewhere in this region, Tianfeng, Han Yue of the Rhinoceros Demon Clan, and Xu Jie of the Elephant Demon Clan had also arrived.

They stared intently at the crimson barrier ahead, their expressions grave.

The group naturally sensed how difficult it was to break through this crimson barrier; even they dared not be careless in the face of the intense heat.

Further behind them, some lights and shadows swept in rapidly.

However, faced with the obstruction of this crimson light barrier, no one dared to easily break in for the time being.

The silence here lasted for a long time. Seeing that no one dared to move, Zong Lin gritted his teeth and a pair of golden wings spread out from his back.

In addition, golden feathers began to appear on its body surface, like scales, completely protecting it.

Even after activating such a defense, Zong Lin was still not at ease, so he immediately threw the golden umbrella in his hand.

A flash of golden light appeared, transforming into a golden light shield that enveloped it.

With these multiple layers of defense in place, Zong Lin felt somewhat at ease, and then without hesitation, he stepped directly into the enormous crimson light.

Chi Chi!

In an instant, Zong Lin's face contorted, and wisps of white smoke emanated from his body.

The golden scales on its body surface gradually melted away at this moment.

The excruciating pain was so intense that Zong Lin's scalp felt like it was about to explode.

However, Zong Lin was, after all, a prodigy of the Tianpeng clan, and naturally he wouldn't retreat so easily. Instead, he immediately activated his full defensive power and began charging towards the end of the crimson light.

Behind them, Han Yue, Xu Jie, and the others, seeing this, dared not let Zong Lin pass by.

Immediately, everyone used various methods to heavily arm themselves before charging straight in.

"what!"

However, some people clearly underestimated the power of the crimson light here. Soon after entering, they were scorched and screamed in agony, which terrified them, and they quickly withdrew.

After all, if one were to force it, one might not only fail to gain supernatural powers but also end up severely injured.

This commotion made Han Yue and the others feel a chill, and they immediately became more cautious, slowing down their previous speed and intending to move past the red light barrier little by little.

"Um?!"

At that moment, their expressions suddenly changed, and they abruptly turned their heads.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, a figure of light flew towards them from the distant horizon.

In just a dozen breaths, the figure appeared outside the crimson light barrier.

The speed of that light and shadow startled them all.

Who is so bold as to fly at such speed under that terrifying red light?

Aren't you afraid of being burned to ashes?

“That is…” Gazes were cast toward them, and then their pupils suddenly contracted.

As the light and shadow gradually became clearer, a tall and slender figure quietly appeared in their sight.

"It's that human!"

"It's actually Lin Langtian?!"

Zong Lin's pupils contracted, and his eyes darkened. He felt a sense of disbelief.

How could Lin Langtian, who had been left far behind by them, catch up in such a short time?
Even he couldn't catch up to that speed!
Seeing this, Tianfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

This Lin Langtian really does always surprise and delight people.

"Hmph, so what if he arrives? This crimson light barrier is several times more powerful than the outside. This person, with his mere human body, would probably be dissolved by the crimson light if he stepped into it."

The powerful figures who had previously retreated from the crimson light barrier couldn't help but feel jealous, and they made sarcastic remarks.

However, while they were laughing, Lin Langtian remained expressionless outside the crimson light barrier.

Then, amidst those slightly widened eyes, he calmly stepped into the crimson light.

"He's courting death! He didn't even circulate his spiritual energy, yet he's trying to step into the crimson light with his physical body?!"

Upon seeing his actions, the eyes of the several figures present widened immediately, waiting for Lin Langtian to court death.

Chi Chi!

As Lin Langtian stepped into the crimson light, a terrifying temperature immediately enveloped him, making him feel as if he were suffocating.

Under the crimson light, the flesh seemed to emit a chilling sizzling sound, as if it were about to burst into flames.

The terrible pain returned once again.

Lin Langtian's face also showed emotion; the crimson light here was indeed more domineering than that outside.

However, at this moment, his physical body, after being scorched by the crimson light during that period, and with the help of the powerful adaptability of the Dragon Kun Divine Body, had greatly enhanced its resistance to this crimson light.

The next moment, the dragon god pattern on his chest began to move.

As it moved, its flesh and blood seemed to revive, and as its flesh and blood trembled, it began to absorb all the crimson energy that had seeped in.

This physical body seems to be strengthening again.

The pupils of Na Zonglin, Han Yue, and the others suddenly contracted.

At this moment, Lin Langtian's body was radiating golden light, and his skin was completely intact.

The crimson light that shone down did not cause him any devastating damage; instead, it made his skin reflect a strange, dark golden light.

The domineering dissolving crimson light here didn't seem to cause any harm to Lin Langtian!
"How can it be?!"

Incredulous murmurs echoed in the hearts of everyone present.

However, Lin Langtian paid no attention to the shock of the outside world. He slowly clenched his fist, then glanced at the crowd who were crawling like turtles, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Gentlemen, it seems I must take my leave first this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his foot and transformed into a golden light, rushing out in the blink of an eye, leaving Zong Lin and the others far behind.

The people behind stared blankly at the rapidly receding figure, unable to recover for a long time.

...

"Is this the second level of the Body Refinement Tower?" While Zong Lin and the others were shocked, Lin Langtian, who had passed through the crimson light barrier, looked around.

He was still standing on a stone platform.

A light shone on the stone platform, enveloping it, making it look the same as the first level.

Beyond the stone platform lay a desolate frozen wasteland, its surface a deep, icy blue.

The entire world was clearly permeated with a faint blue light, which seemed to possess an extremely cold power, and the space itself seemed to freeze as it shone upon it.

In addition, a biting wind was blowing between heaven and earth.

The gale was incredibly powerful; even exposed metal and stone would be instantly shredded into countless tiny particles.

The combination of these two is probably even more ferocious than the dissolving red light of the first layer.

However, it is precisely because of this that one can forge a truly powerful physical body!
As Lin Langtian observed, the surrounding space also began to fluctuate.

Stone platforms began to appear out of thin air, followed by a series of figures.

However, only seven or eight of these figures remained, clearly indicating that the first barrier had isolated many powerful individuals.

Without exception, all the spirit beast experts who entered the second level were in a sorry state, with smoke rising from their bodies and their skin torn and bleeding, clearly having suffered greatly.

At the same time, their gaze did not immediately fall on this frozen land, but instead went directly to Lin Langtian in the distance.

Each of those gazes held a different expression.

Some were curious, some were solemn, and some harbored a hidden murderous intent.

Clearly, Lin Langtian's previous comeback still baffles them.

They couldn't understand at all why Lin Langtian was able to move freely within that crimson light barrier.

He seemed to be unaffected by the crimson light of the first layer.

If I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it.

Having entered the second level, Zong Lin, Han Yue, and the others set off again.

With a clench of their fists, objects shimmering with various colors of spiritual light appeared in their hands, then transformed into various objects, clearly each a unique treasure with its own function.

Zong Lin glanced coldly at Lin Langtian, then flicked his finger, and the bronze furnace in his hand burst into flames, enveloping his body in blazing green flames.

This is the Wind-Avoiding Flame, an extremely peculiar flame that can prevent all winds from penetrating it, making it perfect for dealing with the strong winds of this place.

"I want to see if you can catch up this time." Zong Lin sneered, no longer hesitating.

Protected by the bronze furnace, he burst through the light barrier, transformed into a streak of green light, and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Following Zong Lin, the others also set off one after another, and then sped off at full speed.

Tianfeng walked at the back. He glanced at Lin Langtian but didn't say anything. Flames surged around his body to protect him, and then he quickly left.

Lin Langtian watched Zong Lin and the others leave, his expression calm and composed.

These spirit beast prodigies may possess numerous spiritual treasures, but they are blinded by the so-called supernatural powers and opportunities.

In Lin Langtian's view, the greatest treasure in this Body Refining Tower was not the opportunities, but the miraculous effect of this place on tempering the physical body.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian stood up straight, waved his sleeve, and stepped lightly out of the light barrier into this desolate frozen land.

The second level of this Body Refinement Tower should allow his physical body to improve once again.

And so, on this cruel land where the chill flowed, a tall, slender figure once again stepped forward.

The figure moved rather slowly, each step seemingly consuming most of its strength.

But though the steps were slow, they were so firm that even the fiercest winds could not shake them.

And this figure was none other than Lin Langtian.

laugh!
A gust of wind carrying a blue chill swept past his body, instantly tearing a deep, bone-revealing gash in his skin.

However, not a single drop of blood flowed out from the torn flesh; the rolled-up flesh was a faint blue color.

Along with an intense pain, Lin Langtian's brows furrowed slightly.

It wasn't until much later that the biting cold gradually subsided.

The flesh and blood that were about to die gradually revived.

Lin Langtian could clearly feel that the flesh and blood that had been revived were even more resilient than before.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, Lin Langtian arrived at a solitary peak. Instead of continuing forward, he quietly sat down on the summit.

laugh!
laugh!
A series of gusts of wind swept past, directly cutting out hideous wounds on Lin Langtian's body.

However, he only trembled for a moment before enduring the pain.

At the same time, Lin Langtian raised his head and looked into the distance.

He could sense that Zong Lin, Han Yue, and the others had probably already entered the third level.

However, Lin Langtian was not in a hurry, because he could sense that once he had fully adapted to this place, his physical body would receive a great boost.

That would bring his physical body extremely close to the second level of the Dragon-Kun Divine Body.

That was when he finally set off.

Then, on that solitary peak, Lin Langtian's tall and slender figure sat quietly, like a rock.

Chi Chi!

The gale swept across Lin Langtian's body like a sharp blade, but it no longer easily tore open the hideous wounds.

The skin and flesh only rolled up slightly, and then quickly recovered under a faint golden light.

The blue chill on Lin Langtian's face began to melt away at this moment.

The moment the chill completely disappeared, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

boom!
A dazzling golden light emanated from Lin Langtian's body at this moment.

In an instant, the chill that filled my body vanished completely, replaced by a warm feeling.

At this moment, the dragon god pattern coiled on his chest not only expanded in size, but the dragon's eyes also loosened again and then slowly opened.

hum!
The dragon opened its eyes, though only half-closed, but the sudden burst of dragon god pressure caused cracks to appear on the solitary peak where Lin Langtian sat.

At the same time, behind it, the coiled Kun God pattern also began to slowly unfold half of the Kun wings.

The might of the dragon swept outwards, and the entire solitary peak could no longer withstand it. Finally, amidst the spreading cracks, it completely collapsed.

The solitary peak shattered, while Lin Langtian stood suspended in mid-air, with no spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from his body.

However, when the gale that was powerful enough to tear apart a sixth-grade supreme being swept over, it only left faint white marks on the surface of his skin.

His physical body has clearly made great progress after this period of training.

Lin Langtian could even sense that the second level of the Dragon Kun Divine Body was almost within reach! (End of Chapter)
