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

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated from the ruins of Blood God Mountain.

The blood-red palace that had stood for hundreds of years has been reduced to rubble, and the once majestic mountain is now nothing but broken walls and ruins.

Blood-red fragments of spiritual energy fell like snowflakes, turning the entire ruins a dark red, and a heavy stench of blood filled the air.

In the very center of the ruins, Xue Wuyai collapsed in a deep pit, covered in blood, his breath as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.

His ancient Blood God Dharma Body has been completely destroyed. The supreme Dharma Body, which had been cultivated for hundreds of years, turned into a sky full of blood-colored light rain and dissipated between heaven and earth.

He was connected to the Dharma Body in spirit and mind; when the Dharma Body was destroyed, he also suffered a devastating blow.

At this time, Xue Wuyai not only had almost exhausted his spiritual power, but also sacrificed his essence blood. It would take several years for him to recover.

However, Lin Langtian did not intend to give him that time.

The golden light gradually faded, and the hundreds-of-foot-tall immortal golden body slowly dissipated. The eight demonic puppets also transformed into streams of light and entered Lin Langtian's body.

Lin Langtian slowly landed back on the ground, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked down at Xue Wuya in the deep pit.

His face was slightly pale, and his breathing was somewhat weak. Continuously activating the Immortal Demon Finger and the eight demon puppets had taken a huge toll on him.

But his eyes remained calm and undisturbed.

Xue Wuyai raised his head with difficulty, looking at the young man in front of him with a complex expression in his eyes.

There was resentment, unwillingness, fear, and a hint of indescribable horror.

He had lived for hundreds of years and seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen such a terrifying prodigy.

Despite being a supreme being, he possessed the strength to crush even a half-step Great Perfection cultivator.

The legacy of the Undying King, eight supreme-level demonic puppets, and that mysterious and unpredictable dark gold demonic armor... the secrets of this young man are much deeper than he imagined.

"You won." Xue Wuyai spoke in a hoarse voice, each word seemingly uttered with all his strength.

"I... admit defeat."

Lin Langtian didn't speak, he just looked at him quietly.

That gaze was calm as still water, yet it sent a chill down Xue Wuyai's spine.

He had seen countless kinds of eyes... angry, hateful, greedy, fearful... but he had never seen such calm eyes.

Beneath that calm lies absolute control, a composure that holds life and death in its hands.

"Sect Master of Blood..." Lin Langtian finally spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

"You set a trap, captured my men, and tried to kill me. Now that you've failed, you think you can just admit defeat and let it go?"

Xue Wuyai's expression changed; he sensed the killing intent in Lin Langtian's words.

"What...what do you want?" His voice trembled slightly.

Lin Langtian did not answer, but slowly raised his right hand.

Dark golden light began to condense in his palm, and a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation was brewing within it.

Although that power was not as devastating as the Immortal Demon Finger, it was enough to completely obliterate Xue Wuyai, who was now severely injured and on the verge of death.

Xue Wuyai's pupils suddenly contracted; he sensed the threat of death.

At that moment, all his pride, dignity, and resentment crumbled under the shadow of death.

He doesn't want to die.

He is the sect leader of the Blood God Sect, a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Half-Step Earthly Supreme. He still has hundreds of years of lifespan left and unfulfilled ambitions. How could he die here?
"Wait!" he shouted hoarsely, his voice filled with urgency.

"You cannot kill me! If you kill me, the Blood God Sect and the Qiankun Sect will be locked in a life-or-death struggle! Although my Blood God Sect has suffered heavy losses, it still possesses hidden strength and affiliated forces! If you kill me, the Qiankun Sect will never have peace!"

Lin Langtian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

That smile contained mockery, coldness, and an indescribable domineering air.

"A fight to the death?" he repeated the four words, speaking calmly.

"From the moment you captured my men, it was a fight to the death. Today, if I kill you, the Blood God faction will be leaderless and collapse even faster. What makes you think you can threaten me?"

Xue Wuya was speechless.

He knew that Lin Langtian was telling the truth.

If he dies, the Blood God Sect will inevitably split, and the forces that depend on the Blood God Sect will scatter like monkeys when the tree falls, making it impossible for them to organize an effective revenge against the Qiankun Sect.

The shadow of death is drawing ever closer.

The dark golden light in Lin Langtian's palm grew stronger and stronger, and the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations caused the surrounding air to distort.

At this critical moment... Xue Wuyai seemed to grasp at the last straw, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

That was a secret he had kept hidden for many years, information that would tempt any powerful person.

He originally intended to keep it for his own use later, but at this moment, in order to survive, he couldn't care less about that anymore.

"Wait, don't kill me! I have some information!" Xue Wuyai looked at Lin Langtian in a disheveled state and shouted urgently, "Information that's worth my life!"

Lin Langtian's hand paused slightly; the light in his palm did not dissipate, but it also did not continue to condense.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked down at Xue Wuyai, and said calmly, "Speak."

Xue Wuyai swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "I want to exchange this information for my life. If you spare me, I will tell you this information."

"You have no right to bargain." Lin Langtian stared coldly at Xue Wuyai and said, "However, if this information is valuable, I can spare your life."

Seeing Lin Langtian's unwavering gaze, Xue Wuyai knew this was his last chance to survive. He prayed that Lin Langtian would keep his promise, and then stammered out his answer.

"Deep in the endless sea of ​​the far east of the Great Thousand World, there is an ancient ruin, a ruin that is even older than the Undying King... because it is said to be the place where the ancient Black Emperor fell."

"The Ancient Black Emperor?" Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in Lin Langtian's eyes.

It is known that the legend of the Nine Ancient Emperors has been passed down in the world. These Nine Ancient Emperors include the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, the Ancient War Emperor, and others. They were all famous and powerful figures in ancient times.

This Ancient Black Emperor was one of the Nine Ancient Emperors, and his strength was clearly extremely powerful, far surpassing even the Undying King. Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's heart stirred, but he remained silent, instead looking at Xue Wuyai, signaling him to continue.

Xue Wuyai took a breath and continued, "Hidden within those ruins is a supreme treasure, the Dark Source Pearl."

This is no ordinary sacred object, but a primordial treasure formed from pure dark energy.

It is said that this item was a crucial asset of the ancient Black Emperor, who once dominated the vast world. Legend has it that if one can refine it, one can master the power of darkness itself, and even break through the shackles of the Heavenly Sovereign!

The Dark Source Pearl? Possessing the power of the origin of darkness? Lin Langtian's heart stirred slightly.

After his journey to the Divine Beast Plains, the Primordial Demonic Talisman he possessed underwent a transformation, becoming a true Primordial Treasure and a crucial foundation for Lin Langtian's ability to challenge opponents of higher levels.

If he could use this Dark Source Pearl to enable the Dark Demon Rune to complete its upgrade and transformation, he might be able to master the power of darkness, which would be a great boost to Lin Langtian's combat strength.

Upon hearing this unexpected information, Lin Langtian was overjoyed, but he remained calm and asked indifferently, "How can you prove the authenticity of this information?"

Xue Wuyai said urgently, "I... I personally went to that sea area a hundred years ago and saw the outer restrictions of the ruins with my own eyes."

The restriction was so powerful that even with my half-step Great Perfection strength, I couldn't get close to it.

Moreover, I once saw a record of the ancient Black Emperor and the Dark Source Pearl in an ancient scroll, which perfectly matched the various strange phenomena of that ruin.

Every word I've said is true; if even half of it is false, may I be struck by lightning!

Lin Langtian remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping across Xue Wuyai's face.

He was judging, judging the veracity of this information.

In Xue Wuya's eyes, there was fear, urgency, and a desire to survive, but no trace of lying.

"What is the exact location of the ruins?" Lin Langtian asked.

Xue Wuyai hurriedly said, "In the far east of the Great Thousand World, in the depths of the endless sea, there is a trench called the Abyss of Eternal Night. That trench is shrouded in darkness all year round, and sunlight cannot penetrate it. Countless ferocious deep-sea beasts live in it."

The entrance to the ruins is at the deepest part of the trench. I left a mark there years ago; I can give you a detailed map.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Wuyai quickly took out an ancient map from his Qiankun Bracelet and respectfully handed it to Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian took the map and found that it was extremely ancient, with densely packed routes drawn on it. In the center of the map, there was a black rune, which was clearly the location of the ancient Black Emperor's ruins.

Clearly, this map was not something Xue Wuyai made up arbitrarily in order to survive.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian nodded in satisfaction, and the dark golden light in his palm slowly dissipated.

Xue Wuyai also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Lin Langtian had agreed to let him go. However, the next moment... Lin Langtian suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xue Wuyai's Supreme Sea!

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Xue Wuya's Supreme Sea shattered instantly!

His remaining spiritual power leaked out like a burst dam, dissipating into the world!
His face turned deathly pale instantly, and he collapsed into the pit as if all his strength had been drained, unable to even move a finger.

"You...you..." He struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with disbelief, horror, and despair: "You destroyed my cultivation?!"

Lin Langtian withdrew his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "I said I wouldn't kill you, but I didn't say I wouldn't cripple you."

Xue Wuyai trembled all over, his eyes filled with endless fear and despair.

His Supreme Sea was destroyed, and he lost all his spiritual power. From now on, he will go from being an unparalleled expert at the half-step Great Perfection to a cripple who is not even as good as an ordinary person!

For someone who once stood at the pinnacle of power, this is more cruel than death!
"You...you're so cruel..." he rasped, his eyes filled with resentment.

Lin Langtian remained calm and said indifferently, "You set a trap to kill me, capture my people, and hurt my people. I have already shown mercy by sparing your life. If you continue to waste words, I don't mind changing my mind."

Xue Wuyai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

He collapsed amidst the ruins, gazing at Lin Langtian's calm face, a chill running through his heart.

This young man appears gentle, but is actually ruthless.

When it's time to kill, we'll show no mercy; when it's time to spare, we'll show no compassion.

Destroying his cultivation was more painful than killing him... That's true ruthlessness.

At the same time, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone watching, whether they were disciples of the Blood God Sect or spies from various forces, stared blankly at the scene, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

Although they didn't know what Lin Langtian and Xue Wuyai were secretly discussing, they could see Lin Langtian's actions clearly.

Xue Wuyai… the sect leader of the Blood God Sect, a peerless expert who was once at the peak of the half-step Earthly Sovereign realm, was crippled just like that? By a young man who was at the upper level of the Earthly Sovereign realm?

"This...this is too cruel..."

"To have his cultivation destroyed is worse than to kill him..."

"This Lin Langtian seems gentle and refined, but he's so ruthless..."

"From now on, who will dare to provoke this person?"

Amidst the whispers, the gazes directed at Lin Langtian had shifted from awe to fear.

They finally realized that this young man was not the kind of soft-hearted gentleman, but a true ruthless tyrant.

He is precise and ruthless, leaving no room for future trouble.

Blood Butcher, Blood Darkness, and Blood Fiend sat slumped in the ruins, their faces ashen and their bodies trembling.

They watched as their sect leader was crippled, yet they didn't dare to even breathe loudly, fearing that Lin Langtian would notice them and cripple them as well.

Lin Langtian turned around and glanced at the Blood God Sect disciples.

Wherever his gaze fell, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

"From this day forward, the Blood God Sect is dissolved," he said indifferently, looking down at them.

"If I ever hear the words 'Blood God Sect' again, don't blame me for being impolite!" (End of Chapter)
