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

On the sea surface, the corpse of the deep-sea dragon slowly sank, its black blood staining a large area of ​​the sea red.

The dark blue inner core floated silently in mid-air, emitting a faint glow, and contained extremely rich dark energy.

Lin Langtian raised his hand and summoned the inner core into his palm.

It felt cool to the touch, and a surge of pure dark power flowed into his body through his palm, invigorating his meridians.

"Such pure dark energy." Lin Langtian thought to himself.

This deep-sea dragon has lived in the depths of the Eternal Night Abyss for many years, devouring countless dark spiritual energies. The dark essence contained in its inner core is extremely pure, making it an invaluable tonic for those who cultivate dark attribute techniques.

Just as Lin Langtian was pondering, the dark demonic talisman within his body, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly began to become active.

The Dark Demonic Symbol, along with the Primordial Demonic Symbol, is a creation of the eight ancient ancestral symbols copied by Lin Langtian, and it controls the power of darkness.

The Dark Demonic Symbol is the supreme treasure of the Tianxuan Continent, but after arriving in the Great Thousand World, due to the higher level of energy in the world, the power of the Dark Ancestral Symbol has become insignificant.

Among Lin Langtian's eight demonic runes, apart from the Primordial Demonic Rune that has completed its transformation and upgrade, the other seven demonic runes, including the Dark Demonic Rune, are all very dormant.

"Perhaps, this inner core will allow the Dark Demonic Symbol to regain some of its former glory on the Tianxuan Continent," Lin Langtian thought to himself.

He turned to Yin Ruoshui and said, "I need a moment. Please protect me."

Yin Ruoshui nodded. Although she didn't know what he was going to do, she trusted him.

Lin Langtian landed on a huge rock and sat down cross-legged.

He held the inner core out to the air with both hands, and the dark blue inner core floated in front of him, emitting a faint light.

He took a deep breath, focused his mind on his body, and found the dark magic talisman that had been lying dormant in a corner of the Supreme Sea.

The Dark Rune was entirely black, like a black crystal, with its surface covered in fine runes.

But at this moment, the runes were dim and lifeless, and the ancestral symbol itself seemed to be asleep, without the slightest fluctuation.

It stood side by side with the Primordial Demonic Symbol, yet they were like the sun and the moon, one shining brightly while the other paled in comparison.

"Today, I will give you a new lease on life."

With a thought, Lin Langtian guided the dark energy within the inner core of the Deep Sea Demon Dragon, slowly injecting it into the Dark Demon Rune.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, the dragon's inner core trembled violently, and a bright blue light shone forth!

That pure dark energy, like a flood bursting its banks, surged wildly into the dark magic talisman along Lin Langtian's meridians!
The dark rune trembled violently, and the dim runes on its surface began to slowly light up!
First it was a deep blue, then pitch black, and finally it turned into a profound, all-consuming dark black!
The dark runes flowed faster and brighter, as if the entire magic rune were a ignited star, bursting out with dazzling light!

"boom!"

A terrifying aura of darkness erupted from Lin Langtian's body!
That aura was pure, profound, and icy, as if it came from the deepest abyss, enough to make any living being tremble!

Yin Ruoshui's expression changed, and she took several steps back, staring at Lin Langtian in shock.

She sensed an extremely pure dark power, a power completely different from the dark spiritual power of the Dark Spirit Clan.

More ancient, more domineering, more profound!
"Such pure dark power, it's almost comparable to the powerhouses of the Black Sky Ancient Clan!" she exclaimed.

As a descendant of the Black Sky Ancient Clan, Yin Ruoshui had met some powerful members of the Black Sky Ancient Clan's Enforcement Hall during the years her mother was arrested.

In Yin Ruoshui's view, the purity and intensity of the dark spiritual power emanating from Lin Langtian's body was comparable to that of a powerful member of the Black Heaven Ancient Clan.

However, the Black Sky Ancient Clan is one of the five ancient races in the Great Thousand World, and every member of the clan has the dark and noble bloodline of their ancestors flowing through their veins.

Lin Langtian comes from a lower plane and seems to have never used dark attribute spiritual power before, so why does he now possess such pure and powerful dark power?
As time slowly passed, while Yin Ruoshui was still puzzled and Lin Langtian became increasingly mysterious in her eyes, the dark energy in the inner core of the demonic dragon within Lin Langtian's body continuously poured into the dark demonic talisman.

At the same time, the transformation of the dark rune is accelerating.

The dark runes grew brighter and denser, eventually forming a complete pattern on the surface of the magic rune... It was a black magic dragon with outstretched wings, poised to take flight, lifelike!
It was indeed the appearance of the deep-sea demon dragon!

"Roar!"

The next moment, a silent dragon roar suddenly exploded within Lin Langtian's body!
The black dragon seemed to come alive, bursting out of the dark magic rune and soaring within his body!

Wherever he went, his meridians were widened, his bones were strengthened, and even his soul was tainted with a faint dark light!

At the same time, Lin Langtian's perception of the power of darkness was also rapidly improving. He seemed to be able to see the omnipresent dark energy in the world... those powers that he usually ignored and hid in the shadows became crystal clear at this moment.

He could even sense that deep within this endless sea, an extremely large mass of dark energy was slumbering, which was in the direction of the depths of the Abyss of Eternal Night!

The energy within the dragon's inner core was finally exhausted, and the dark blue light gradually dimmed before dissipating into a wisp of green smoke.

The Dark Rune floated in the Supreme Sea, its entire body pitch black, yet it emitted a faint glow.

It was no longer silent, but full of vitality, shining brightly alongside the Primordial Demonic Symbol, one gold and one black, like the sun and moon shining together!

If the Dark Magic Rune was merely a treasure of the lower plane, it struggled to even deal with Supreme Realm beings after arriving in the Great Thousand World.

Having now absorbed the pure dark power within the Demon Dragon's inner core, the Dark Demon Rune, while not yet comparable to the Primordial Demon Rune, now truly possesses the power to threaten even the most powerful supreme beings!

Lin Langtian slowly opened his eyes.

A flash of black light appeared in his eyes, then disappeared, returning to deep black.

But his temperament underwent a subtle change... he gained a deeper, more mysterious, and more unfathomable composure.

"Congratulations, Young Master Lin!" Yin Ruoshui stepped forward and, sensing the dark aura emanating from Lin Langtian's body, the shock in her beautiful eyes slowly faded, and she then clasped her hands in greeting.

"Although I don't know what happened to Young Master Lin, I imagine his strength has reached a new level."

Lin Langtian nodded slightly and stood up.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched, and a ball of black light condensed in his palm.

The light was deep and pure, seemingly capable of devouring all light; it was the power of the Dark Rune.

“The power of darkness…” he murmured, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar power in his palm.

Back in the Tianxuan Continent, he had used the Dark Magic Rune, but at that time he had already mastered the Eight Great Magic Runes, and the Dark Magic Rune was ranked low, so his understanding of the power of darkness was not deep enough.

Now that he has reached the peak of the Upper Earthly Supreme Realm and has been nourished by the Dark Inner Core of the Deep Sea Demon Dragon, the power of the Dark Demon Rune has finally been truly revealed.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the ball of black light flew out of his hand and landed on the sea in the distance.

"laugh!"

The sea was struck by that black light, instantly evaporating a huge crater. The seawater around the crater was corroded by the dark power, turning pitch black and unable to recover for a long time!

Yin Ruoshui, who was standing to the side, immediately turned pale and gasped.

The power of this attack was no less than that of a full-force strike from a high-level Earthly Sovereign.

Moreover, this was just a casual strike; if she were to unleash her full power… she dared not even think about it.

Lin Langtian shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied, and muttered, "It's not enough. Although the Dark Demonic Talisman has just been upgraded, it is still far inferior to the Primordial Demonic Talisman and has not yet reached the level of a top-tier treasure."

Furthermore, my use of dark power is still too rudimentary; I need more practice.

Lin Langtian was somewhat disappointed with the current power of the Dark Magic Rune, but he had expected it.

After all, the Primordial Demonic Talisman had absorbed the power of the entire Divine Beast Sea to transform to this state, while the Dark Demonic Talisman had only devoured a Dark Inner Core of a Demonic Dragon. Such an upgrade was beyond Lin Langtian's imagination.

In Lin Langtian's view, the only way for the Dark Magic Talisman to reach the level of the Primordial Magic Talisman is probably to rely on the Dark Source Pearl left behind by the Ancient Black Emperor.

Hearing Lin Langtian's murmurs, Yin Ruoshui remained silent.

Is this still not enough? She has cultivated for decades, and her mastery of dark spiritual power is only this much.

Lin Langtian could cause such terrifying destruction with a casual strike, yet he was still not satisfied?

"Let's go," Lin Langtian said. "The direction of the ruins has been determined, let's continue on our way."

Yin Ruoshui looked at Lin Langtian's tall and slender back, nodded, and followed in his footsteps.

The two continued flying eastward and disappeared into the vast sea fog.

Behind them, the sea, corrupted by the power of darkness, remained unrecovered for a long time… (End of Chapter)
