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

The massive altar was deathly silent.

Everyone stared in awe at the tall, slender figure still standing in the square, a sense of awe creeping into their hearts.

That sense of awe stemmed from its formidable strength.

All these trump cards and tactics made it clear why Lin Langtian remained fearless even when facing Kunyu.

At the same time, the powerful members of the Kunpeng clan glanced at Lin Langtian in the distance with some fear in their eyes, and then hurriedly moved to fly away from the altar.

In that lake of blood, Kunyu was in a terrible state, his eyes closed, his life hanging in the balance, clearly having suffered a severe injury.

After they brought the severely injured Kunyu back, no one present noticed that the dark earth, after absorbing the blood spat out by Kunyu, seemed to become even darker and more sinister.
Lin Langtian was unconcerned about the actions of the Kunpeng Clan. With the unveiling of the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower, it seemed that no one would dare to deny his strength.

As expected, the altar was completely silent.

After a moment's thought, the two top experts from the Nine-Colored Peacock Clan and the Phoenix Clan simultaneously charged straight at the Ancient Phoenix Stone Sculpture, while the Sky-Piercing Ape Clan and the Heavenly Crane Clan charged straight at the Wild Beast Stone Sculpture.

Aside from the fact that these two Beast Lord inheritances are in line with their bloodline, it's clear that they mostly don't want to be enemies with Lin Langtian.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian also turned his gaze to the other two battlefields.

As time slowly passed, the two originally fierce battles gradually came to an end.

On those two battlefields, whether it was Peacock of the Nine-Colored Peacock Clan, Bai Ling of the Phoenix Clan, Lu Yuan of the Sky-Reaching Ape Clan, or that powerful figure from the Heavenly Crane Clan, they were all genuine Eighth-Rank Supremes. The intensity of their battles was truly remarkable.

However, their fight clearly lacked the bloodshed that Lin Langtian and Kunyu had shown.

Clearly, they were all restrained and did not want to risk their lives like Lin Langtian.

Therefore, in those two battlefields, the final victors were Bai Ling of the Phoenix Clan and Lu Yuan of the Sky-Piercing Ape Clan, who won by a narrow margin, each by a single move.

After seeing that they had also decided the winner, Lin Langtian turned to look at the back of the square.

There are ten thousand stone steps there, and at the end of the stone steps is the ancient mythical bird with its wings spread wide and hanging from the clouds.

At this moment, the stone sculpture of the myriad spirit birds seemed to begin to glow with a faint light, as if calling for the final victor.

Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian moved swiftly, shooting out like lightning towards the stone sculpture.

The essence of the Myriad Spirit Bird's bloodline is already within reach.

At the same time, Bai Ling and Lu Yuan also shot out simultaneously from the other two plazas, their targets pointing directly at the two stone sculptures leading down the stone steps.

On the altar, many eyes were fixed on the three figures heading straight for the stone sculpture, their eyes burning red with fervor.

That's the inherited essence of a super divine beast! If one could obtain it, it would surely allow them to evolve their own bloodline, making their cultivation path much smoother.

It's even possible that in the future, this could be used to reach the Earthly Sovereign realm...

And it was under the watchful eyes of so many that Lin Langtian appeared at the end of the stone steps, landing in front of the stone sculpture.

He stared intently and saw that the stone sculpture was about a thousand feet tall. The stone sculpture was mottled and ancient, as if it were the marks left by time. It spread out its wings like hanging clouds, and an indescribable sense of oppression came over him.

Those with weak wills would probably have already succumbed to their urges and crawled down.

This is the power of a super mythical beast.

It is also the majesty of the supreme being.

However, just as Lin Langtian was observing, the next moment, the stone sculpture of the Myriad Spirit Bird burst forth with boundless light, and the clear and melodious bird song echoed faintly.

The light enveloped Lin Langtian, causing his bones to crack and pop.

At the same time, the phoenix stone sculpture suddenly emitted immortal flames, which wrapped around Bai Ling, causing him to show a pained expression.

The stone sculpture of the wild beast was even more domineering, stretching out its giant foot and stomping hard on the ape in front of it.

Seeing this sudden scene, everyone quickly realized that this was clearly the final test left behind by the three beast lords. If they could pass it, they would be able to obtain the inherited essence blood.

However, it seems that Bai Ling and Lu Yuan are finding these three tests relatively easy.

After all, they are divine beasts, and their race has some connection with the phoenix and wild beasts, so the current test is not too difficult for them.

But looking at Lin Langtian, he was truly having the worst luck.

The radiance was domineering and showed no mercy, directly forcing Lin Langtian to kneel on one knee. It didn't look like a test, but rather like burning an alien.

"Hmph, you ignorant fool, how dare a human lay a hand on my divine beast clan?" a member of the Kunpeng clan sneered.

However, just as they were laughing in their hearts, their expressions instantly froze.

Suddenly, a roar resounded from within Lin Langtian, who had been suppressed. As the roar echoed, the oppressive light began to weaken slowly, and Lin Langtian straightened up from his kneeling position, regaining his tall and slender figure.

"How...how is this possible? How could a human gain the approval of a super divine beast?" many people exclaimed.

Lin Langtian was unfazed by the shock of outsiders. Although he was human, his bloodline of the Dragon Kun race was far purer than that of ordinary divine beasts.

He looked up again and saw that the eyes of the myriad spirit bird stone sculpture had gained some color and were no longer as empty as before.

Its eyes were lowered, as if it were staring at Lin Langtian. Finally, its sharp beak slowly grew larger, from which endless radiance burst forth.

These brilliant, crimson lights eventually coalesced into a single drop of blood-red gemstone, no bigger than the palm of your hand.

Within the gemstone, it is as if a miniature lark is spreading its wings and flying.

When Lin Langtian saw the blood-red gem, his eyes lit up with excitement, because he knew that this must be the inherited essence of the Myriad Spirit Bird.

Lin Langtian reached out and took the blood-red gem into his hands, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

I've finally got my hands on this inherited bloodline!

Meanwhile, in the other two plazas, Bai Ling and Lu Yuan, unsurprisingly, ultimately obtained the inherited essence of the Phoenix and the wild beast.

Faced with such a treasure, Bai Ling and Lu Yuan were overjoyed and happily pocketed the inheritance essence.

Their journey to the Divine Beast Plains has been incredibly fruitful, yielding the results they've already achieved. Boom!
However, at this moment, Lin Langtian noticed that the colors of the three stone sculptures seemed to be gradually dimming.

And the earth even trembled slightly.

The tremors grew more intense, and the next moment, everyone was astonished to see that the ground there was rippling like the surface of a lake.

An eerie aura rose from the ground, causing the sky and earth to darken.

"Something's wrong here! Let's get out of here!"

call out!
One team was positioned on the outer edge of the altar, so they reacted the fastest, immediately transforming into streaks of light and shooting out.

boom!
But at that moment, ripples appeared on the surface of that dark land, revealing a huge, ferocious, and eerie face.

With a single, massive mouth, the giant face instantly enveloped the several figures of light and shadow. Then, screams rang out as those figures exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which was swallowed up in one gulp.

"Blood! I want fresh blood!"

To everyone's astonishment, the eerie face let out a piercing laugh, and with a spit from its giant mouth, billowing black smoke billowed out, about to engulf the people on the altar.

"Damn it, this must be something left behind by those extraterrestrial evil races back then!" someone exclaimed in horror.

hum!
Thick black smoke billowed in, but at that moment, a burst of brilliant rune light suddenly shone from the altar, completely annihilating the billowing black smoke.

At the same time, the three stone sculptures seemed to come back to life.

Three beams of light condensed on them, eventually transforming into three faintly visible figures.

On that ancient phoenix was a beautiful woman in palace attire, with a noble and graceful demeanor.

Above the myriad spirit birds was a man dressed in colorful clothes. He was exceptionally handsome, with a refined and scholarly demeanor, and remained calm even when the sky seemed to collapse.

Above that ancient beast stood a bare-chested, burly man with dark, iron-like skin. His massive body was like a mountain, and wherever he stood, all things were calm and composed.

"They are the three Beast Lords from the Divine Beast Plains!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

The demonic face also spotted the three figures and immediately screamed like countless ghosts.

"Heh heh heh, you've suppressed us for thousands of years, thinking you could annihilate us, but in the end, we were the ones who outmaneuvered you! Heh heh heh!"

On the stone sculpture of the phoenix, the beautiful woman in palace attire gazed at the demonic face on the ground and couldn't help but sigh softly, saying, "This kind of demon is truly dead but not stiff."

The handsome man in the colorful robes sighed, "It's a pity. I thought I could hold on for another hundred years, but I didn't expect the essence of my bloodline to be taken away so quickly, which caused the seal to loosen ahead of schedule."

“The three of us are merely remnants of spirits. Maintaining the great formation is already our limit. I’m afraid we won’t be able to completely eliminate these demonic shadows,” the bare-chested giant said in a deep voice.

Just as everyone on the altar was shocked and on edge by the appearance of the hideous demonic face and the three beast spirits, the man in the colorful robe standing on the stone sculpture of the Myriad Spirit Bird suddenly looked over the churning demonic energy and the chaotic crowd and landed precisely on Lin Langtian.

Or rather, through the essence blood on Lin Langtian's hands, he sensed the ancient and majestic aura emanating from the black pagoda within the latter's body.

“That is…” The handsome man, the spirit of the Myriad Spirit Bird Beast Lord, had a clear look of surprise and astonishment in his eyes for the first time.

"Such pure suppressive power...and it has a natural restraint on evil and heretical forces...this tower..."

His whisper, though soft, immediately caught the attention of the beautiful woman in palace attire, the Phoenix Beast Lord, and the shirtless giant, the Wild Beast Lord, standing beside him.

The two beast spirits looked over, and their expressions changed slightly the moment their gazes fell upon the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower.

"A sacred artifact!" The Phoenix Beast Lord's eyes gleamed with surprise and delight: "I never expected that a mere seventh-grade Supreme would possess a sacred artifact. What a pleasant surprise!"

The Beast Lord also said in a muffled voice, "Although it is a low-level sacred object, we would not have even glanced at it in the past, but at this critical moment, it is a lifeline."

Moreover, this tower possesses a magnificent and radiant essence, making it the perfect nemesis of the filthy demons below! Truly, heaven is helping us!

The three spirit figures looked at each other and instantly saw the same judgment and decision in each other's eyes.

Their remaining power is connected to the altar array, and they are already at their limit in maintaining the seal and manifesting their forms. They are not strong enough to completely eliminate the demonic face that has emerged when the essence of their bloodline was taken away and the seal was loosened.

But the sudden appearance of this young human who possesses the ability to subdue the Black Tower of monsters presents an excellent opportunity, a variable that could potentially resolve this hidden danger completely!
The Myriad Spirit Bird Beast Lord, being the first to discover this, looked at Lin Langtian with a gentle yet firm gaze, his voice resounding directly in Lin Langtian's heart, bypassing the perception of the demonic face below: "Young friend, may we have a word?"

Lin Langtian was on high alert, guarding against the surging demonic energy and the eerie giant face. Upon hearing this, he was startled, looked up to meet the three gazes that seemed to see through everything, nodded slightly, and responded with his mind: "Please speak, senior."

"The three of us are remnants of ancient spirits from this place, entangled for millennia with the extraterrestrial demons suppressed below," the Myriad Spirit Bird Beast Lord said succinctly.

“Now that you have taken away the essence of the inheritance, the power of the seal has been greatly reduced, allowing this monstrous creature to emerge. Our spiritual power is only enough to keep the formation from collapsing immediately, but we are powerless to completely purify it.”

The Phoenix Beast Lord spoke up, his voice noble: "The tower within your body is a true sacred object, specifically designed to subdue evil spirits. However, your own cultivation is not yet sufficient to fully unleash the tower's power, nor can you withstand the backlash from this sacred object."

The voice of the Beast Lord was like muffled thunder, straightforward: "The three of us can pour all the remaining spiritual power of your essence into you, temporarily enhancing your realm and endurance, allowing you to unleash the strongest killing move of the sacred artifact and annihilate the demon."

The Lord of Myriad Spirits Birds and Beasts concluded, looking intently at Lin Langtian: "Young friend, this matter has nothing to do with inheritance, but is for the sake of all living beings."

If this demon escapes, the remains of the Divine Beast Plains will be completely corrupted, and may even spread its poison to the outside world. The choice is yours; we will not force you, but merely state the advantages and disadvantages.

Lin Langtian's heart was in turmoil. He instantly understood the intentions and situation of the three Beast Lords.

However, this move is extremely risky. The power of the three beast lords' remnant spirits is immense; forcibly infusing it could easily lead to death by explosion if not controlled properly. The backlash from activating the sacred artifact's essence is even more unpredictable.

However, the hesitation in Lin Langtian's eyes only lasted for a moment before it disappeared.

"The three seniors are truly admirable, and I deeply respect them," Lin Langtian replied resolutely.

"With a demon before us, how can we stand idly by? This junior is willing to risk everything and borrow your power to activate the Demon-Suppressing Tower and annihilate this fiend!"

A hint of approval and relief flashed across the eyes of the three Beast Lords.

“Good!” The All-Spirit Bird and Beast Lord nodded.

"Kid, you've got guts!" the Beast Lord grinned.

"Prepare to receive our power!" the Phoenix Beast Lord said with a smile. (End of Chapter)
