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

While Lin Langtian and Elder Xue Ming were confronting each other, the sudden conflict was so great that it instantly alarmed half of Zhenxi City.

A series of sharp whistling sounds rang out as countless figures swept in from all directions, landing on the rooftops around the inn, or standing in mid-air, looking down at the two groups of people locked in a tense standoff in the backyard.

When these powerful onlookers finally grasped the situation, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

"That's... Elder Xue Ming of the Blood God Sect?! A High-Rank Earthly Sovereign!"

"Who was the person he clashed with? The young man looks unfamiliar and doesn't seem to be from the Boundless Continent."

"They seem to be from the Qiankun Sect. I heard that the Qiankun Sect recently unified the Qiankun Continent and regained its former position as the continent's overlord."

"Tch, just a hegemon of a small continent. What is he compared to the vast world? The leader of the Qiankun Sect is merely a lower-level Earthly Sovereign. How dare he provoke Elder Xue Ming? Does he have a death wish?"

"Hehe, since there's still some time before the ruins open, let's just enjoy the show."

……

Amidst whispers, countless gazes swept over Lin Langtian, a mixture of shock, curiosity, pity, and schadenfreude...

Among the crowd, a figure carrying an ancient sword stood quietly. It was Jian Wuchen from the Heavenly Sword Sect, the dominant force on the nearby Heavenly Sword Continent.

His gaze fell on Lin Langtian's tall and slender figure, and as he felt the faint hum of the ancient sword behind him, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"To be able to elicit a soft hum from an ancient sword... this person is clearly no ordinary individual."

On another rooftop, Qingxu Daoist of the Wanfa Sect, a local power on the Wuji Continent, gently shook his whisk, a hint of surprise appearing on his venerable face.

"Interesting. I didn't expect that the two great enemies, the Qiankun Sect and the Blood God Sect, would get together. It seems that I'm in for a good show today."

Further away, atop a tall tower, the Ice King Bing Xuanming stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, though a barely perceptible hint of interest flickered in his icy eyes.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of a luxurious restaurant in the city center, the young man from the Maha Ancient Clan, dressed in black and white robes, stood by the window, holding a cup of spiritual wine, gazing with great interest in the direction of the conflict.

His four attendants stood respectfully behind him, without uttering a word.

"Interesting." A playful smile curved his lips.

“That lower-level Earthly Sovereign dares to challenge a higher-level Earthly Sovereign. I’d like to see what his trump card is.”

……

The atmosphere in the backyard had become extremely tense.

Elder Xue Ming's face was ashen, and his body was filled with a surging, bloody aura.

He stared intently at Lin Langtian, sensing the unfathomable aura within him, and a sense of shock welled up in his heart that was hard to calm down.

For some reason, even as a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign, he felt a sense of pressure when facing Lin Langtian, who was as calm and unfathomable as an abyss.

However, after the initial surprise and doubt, what filled my heart more was anger!
He, Xue Ming, had roamed the Boundless Continent for hundreds of years, and had never been provoked like this before? Moreover, the other party was just a young man of the lower Earthly Sovereign level!

"Good, good, good!" he said three times, laughing in his anger.

"Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"

Once he finished speaking, he held nothing back!

"A sea of ​​blood surges to the heavens!"

Elder Xue Ming formed hand seals, and his blood energy suddenly erupted, transforming into a raging sea of ​​blood that enveloped an area of ​​a thousand feet in radius!

In the sea of ​​blood, countless ferocious vengeful spirits roared and howled, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Lin Langtian!

Each vengeful spirit contains terrifying malevolent energy powerful enough to corrupt even the most supreme beings!
This move was a killing blow!
A gasp of surprise rippled through the onlookers. Elder Blood Nether was actually going to kill them outright!
Lin Langtian's expression remained unchanged. He took a step forward, and his body shone with a brilliant, primordial light!

"Primordial Prison Suppression!"

He let out a low shout, and a phantom of the Primordial Ancestral Symbol, in shades of dark yellow and black gold, suddenly appeared between his brows, unleashing a vast and overwhelming pressure that suppressed all the heavens!
The towering sea of ​​blood, upon touching this oppressive force, was as if it had encountered an invisible barrier and was forcibly blocked in mid-air!
Countless vengeful spirits roared and charged, but they could not break through the layer of Xuanhuang light barrier!

"What?!" Elder Xue Ming's expression changed.

His Blood Sea Divine Power was so easily blocked by a lower-level Earthly Sovereign?

But he was, after all, a supreme being, and his reaction was extremely quick.

When his first move failed, he flashed and appeared above Lin Langtian, striking down with a palm!
This palm strike, imbued with his full power, was as large as a mountain, carrying a world-destroying force, and slammed fiercely towards Lin Langtian's head!

Lin Langtian looked up, his gaze sharp as lightning.

He also raised his right hand, his five fingers clenched into a fist like a dragon god, and the next moment, accompanied by the sound of dragon roar and Kun howl, he threw a punch!
No fancy tricks, no supernatural powers, only the purest and most domineering physical strength!
"Dragon-Kun Divine Body, Primordial Star Shattering!"

"Boom!"

Fist and palm collided, and a muffled, thunderous explosion erupted!

The shockwave, visible to the naked eye, swept in a ring, leveling all the buildings within a radius of tens of feet!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the two figures retreated!

Elder Xue Ming retreated three steps, each step leaving a deep pit in the ground!
Lin Langtian took five steps back, but stood firmly on his feet!
The entire room fell silent!

Countless people stared wide-eyed, looking at this scene in disbelief!
A lower-level Earthly Sovereign, directly confronting a higher-level Earthly Sovereign, only managed to retreat two steps?!

"This...how is this possible?!" someone exclaimed in shock.

"Is that kid a monster?!"

"How could his physical body be so incredibly strong?!"

A glint flashed in Jian Wuchen's eyes: "Such a powerful physical body! What kind of body-refining technique is this?"

Qingxu Daoist gently shook his whisk and murmured, "I have never heard of the Dragon Kun Divine Body, but to be able to fight head-on with a high-level Earthly Sovereign is no ordinary feat. Moreover, the Dragon Kun's aura within its body is in no way inferior to those super divine beasts."

"If this young man weren't a pure human, I would have suspected he came from one of those super divine beast families." On the tower, Bing Xuanming's eyes flickered slightly, and for the first time, he truly looked at this young man.

On the top floor of the restaurant, a young man from the Maha Ancient Clan, dressed in black and white robes, put down his wine cup, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Interesting. His physical strength is not much worse than those body-refining geniuses in the clan."

……

In the backyard, Elder Xueming's face was ashen.

He, a dignified high-ranking Earthly Sovereign, was actually forced back by a low-ranking Earthly Sovereign, and even had to retreat three steps!
This utter humiliation drove him to the brink of madness!

"You're asking for death!" he roared, and attacked again!

This time, he stopped testing the waters and unleashed his ultimate technique!
"The Nine Transformations of the Blood God, First Transformation: The True Form of the Blood Demon!"

Elder Xue Ming's blood energy frantically condensed, transforming into a blood-red giant ten zhang tall!
The giant had a ferocious face, three heads and six arms, each arm holding a blood-red giant blade, exuding a murderous aura that could destroy the world!
"die!"

With a simultaneous swing of all six arms, six blood-red blades ripped through the void, sealing off all of Lin Langtian's escape routes, and slashed down on his head!

Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed, but he still did not back down!

He formed a hand seal, and the eight demonic shadows inside the Demon Suppression Tower of the Qiankun Sect roared in unison, then transformed into eight streams of light and merged into his body!
"Eight Heavenly Demons, bless me!"

"boom!"

Lin Langtian's aura surged dramatically in that instant!

Within the mysterious yellow light surrounding him, eight demonic figures could be faintly seen moving about, their ferocity and holiness intertwined, making them incredibly eerie!

He threw another punch!
This punch combined the power of eight Earthly Supreme Demon Puppets!
"Primordial Demon Shatters Stars!"

"Boom!"

The six blood blades collided violently with this punch, creating a deafening explosion!
The violent energy surge completely destroyed everything within a hundred feet!
If it weren't for the protective array, half of Zhenxi City would probably have been destroyed!

The smoke and dust cleared.

Lin Langtian remained standing in the same spot, his robes slightly disheveled, but his aura remained powerful!

The ten-zhang-tall Blood Demon's true form actually retreated several steps, and the blood blade on one of its arms shattered!

The entire venue fell silent once again!

This time, even the high-ranking Earthly Sovereigns watching the scene became solemn.

"He actually... gained the upper hand?"

"This person's aura suddenly surged, his methods are terrifying!"

"Just what kind of extraordinary abilities does this young man possess?!"

Hearing the whispers around him, Elder Xueming's face turned extremely ugly.

He never expected that his all-out attack would be fought to a draw by a lower-level Earthly Sovereign, and he was even slightly at a disadvantage!
How will he ever establish himself in the Boundless Continent or even the entire Great Thousand World again?

"You little bastard, I will kill you today!"

He was completely enraged, and his blood energy surged again. His Blood Demon True Body expanded even more, and the six blood blades re-condensed, emitting an even more terrifying aura than before!

He's about to unleash his full power!

Lin Langtian's expression remained calm, but a fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, and the Primordial Ancestral Symbol within his body circulated wildly, releasing the power of the eight demonic puppets without reservation!

Their auras surged wildly, and they were about to clash again.

"enough!"

A majestic voice boomed in their ears like thunder!

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared out of thin air between the two.

That was an old man dressed in a gray robe, whose aura was unfathomable; he was clearly a supreme being of the upper realm!

Behind him followed several powerful figures, all of whom were at the Earthly Sovereign level!
"The Zhenxi City Law Enforcement Team!" someone exclaimed.

The gray-robed old man's gaze swept over Xue Ming and Lin Langtian with lightning speed, and he said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, private duels are prohibited in Zhenxi City! Violators will be sent out of the city."

Xue Ming's expression changed, and he said unwillingly, "Elder Wu, it was this kid who started it..."

"Elder Xue Ming." The gray-robed elder shook his head and said, "Without rules, there can be no order. Although I am unwilling to be enemies with the Blood God Sect, the Blood God Sect must also respect us. I hope Elder Xue Ming will give me some face."

Xue Ming's expression kept changing, but in the end he said nothing more.

This gray-robed elder was the leader of the enforcement team jointly elected by the thirteen forces in Zhenxi City. Offending him was equivalent to offending the thirteen forces on more than a dozen continents. Even the Blood God Sect did not want to offend a powerful enemy for no reason.

He glared fiercely at Lin Langtian, his eyes filled with resentment: "You little bastard, you're lucky!"
But remember this: in the Boundless Continent, the Blood God Sect calls the shots! I will remember what happened today! Once we are in the ruins, I will take your life!

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave with his men.

Lin Langtian stood there, watching Xue Ming's departing figure, his expression still calm as still water.

He didn't respond to those harsh words, but turned around and walked towards the Barbarian Emperor to check his injuries.

The crowd of onlookers lingered, reluctant to disperse, their gazes fixed on the figure in the green robe, filled with shock, awe, curiosity, and a variety of other emotions.

Today's battle will surely spread the name of Lin Langtian throughout the entire Zhenxi City.

Everyone knows that the struggle for the Immortal King's Ruins will likely be even more exciting than imagined.

Because yet another true powerhouse has entered the scene. (End of Chapter)
