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

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Hei Yuan, Ying Mei, and Jiao Tu formed a triangle around Lin Langtian, and the three powerful auras of the peak of the Upper Earthly Sovereign level crushed down from three directions like three mountains.

The black jade bricks on the ground made a series of fine cracking sounds under the heavy pressure, and cracks spread outwards like a spider web.

Those subordinates who had come with the three forces had already retreated to the edge of the main hall, holding their breath and focusing their attention, fearing that they would be caught in the ensuing battle.

Three supreme beings with immense prestige in the Endless Seas—who wouldn't believe that they, when joined forces, would be defeated by a young man?

Hei Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his black outfit fluttering in the wind as his spiritual energy surged, and his narrow eyes were filled with icy killing intent.

"Boy, I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the Black Heavenly Pearl you have, then get out of this hall, and I might spare your life."

Shadow played with the dagger in her hand, a seductive smile on her alluring face, but that smile concealed a venomous ruthlessness.

"Little brother, I don't want to hurt you. Dark Spirit Crystal is a treasure that a rogue cultivator like you can't handle. Leave obediently, and I can even have a couple of drinks with you."

Jiao Tu was even more direct. He slammed his fist into the stone pillar in front of him, making the entire hall vibrate, and roared, "Why waste words with him! If he dares to try to take things from me, the old Jiao Tu, he'll have to take my punch first!"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiao Tu had already made his move!
His figure shot out like a cannonball, so fast that he left afterimages in the air.

That imposing body, moving at high speed, did not appear cumbersome at all; instead, it carried an oppressive feeling as if a mountain were collapsing.

He brought his right fist to his waist, and dark green spiritual energy frantically condensed on his fist, faintly revealing the phantom of a dragon. Before the fist even arrived, the overwhelming power had already compressed the air, causing it to explode with a sharp sound!

"Dragon Mountain-Breaking Fist!"

This punch, imbued with Jiao Tu's life's work, was enough to blast a thousand-foot mountain into dust!
Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly, but he showed no intention of backing down. In fact, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In a contest of physical strength, he has never been afraid of anyone among those of the same level!
The next moment, Lin Langtian took a deep breath and instantly activated the Dragon Kun Divine Body to its limit.

Beneath his skin, dark golden dragon patterns moved like living creatures, spreading from his chest to his arms, and from his arms to his fists.

Every muscle tenses up at this moment, and every bone bursts forth with its strongest power.

His physical body seemed to have transformed into a divine mountain that had come from the primordial era, majestic and immovable, impervious to all laws!
He also threw a punch, neither retreating nor dodging, facing Jiao Tu's iron fist head-on!

"Dragon Kun Divine Fist!"

"boom!"

The two fists collided, unleashing a deafening roar!

A visible shockwave of spiritual energy suddenly spread out from the center of the two men's fists, lifting up layer after layer of black jade bricks on the ground, and scattering the broken stones like hidden weapons!
In an instant, Jiao Tu felt an unimaginable force coming from Lin Langtian's fist. The force was as heavy as a mountain and as domineering as an emperor. It even made his right arm go numb, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood flowed freely!

His burly body involuntarily took three steps back, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground, the edges of which were covered with fine cracks!
Lin Langtian remained completely still!
"What?!" Jiao Tu stared wide-eyed at his trembling right fist in disbelief, then looked up at Lin Langtian's still calm face, his heart filled with monstrous shock.

He is a patrol general of the Black Dragon Clan in the deep sea, and he is known for his physical strength. No one of his level has ever made him suffer a loss in a head-on confrontation!
Today, he was actually knocked back by a single punch from a young human?!
Black Abyss and Shadow Demon's expressions also changed.

Although they expected that Lin Langtian must have something to rely on to dare to provoke them alone, they did not expect that his physical body would be so powerful!

Even for them, a head-on confrontation with Jiao Tu wouldn't be so easy.

"Attack together!" Hei Yuan no longer hesitated, shouted, and his figure transformed into a black streak of light, rushing towards Lin Langtian from the left!

Shadow Demon nodded and moved instantly.

Her figure was like a ghost, vanishing from the spot in an instant, leaving only a wisp of faint purple smoke.

That's the Shadow Tower's ultimate technique, Shadow Escape Technique. It allows one to disappear into the shadows during battle, silently and without warning, making it impossible to defend against!

Lin Langtian's expression remained unchanged. He activated the Dragon Kun Divine Body to its limit, and at the same time, the Primordial Demonic Talisman within his body began to slowly rotate. An ancient pressure that suppressed all heavens emanated from his body.

Black Abyss was the first to attack.

He formed hand seals, and black spiritual energy surged out like a tide, condensing into a black sword blade over ten feet long in front of him.

The blade was entirely black, but its edges gleamed with a chilling blue light. It was incredibly sharp and emitted a terrifying aura!
"Black Water Mystic Sword Slash!"

He gripped the sword with both hands and slashed down fiercely!

The sword light, like a black lightning bolt, tore through the void and slashed towards Lin Langtian's head!

Lin Langtian neither dodged nor evaded, and unleashed another punch with his right fist!

"clang!"

The fist and sword clashed, producing a metallic clang!
The black sword blade, powerful enough to cleave divine weapons, was like ordinary iron before Lin Langtian's fist. It trembled and vibrated with a buzzing sound, and fine cracks appeared on the blade!
Hei Yuan's expression changed drastically. He wanted to sheathe his sword and change his move, but how could Lin Langtian give him the chance?

Lin Langtian followed closely with his left fist, slamming it into the middle of the sword blade!

"Crack!"

The black blade snapped in two!

The broken sword blade spun out and embedded itself deeply into a stone pillar in the main hall, emitting a buzzing vibration!
Hei Yuan felt a tremendous force travel back through the broken sword, causing his arms to go numb, his tiger's mouth to split open, and his whole body to involuntarily fall backward!

Just then, a shadow behind Lin Langtian suddenly twisted, and a slender dagger silently emerged, aiming straight for his back!

Shadow has made its move!
Her dagger, named Shadow Strike, is a mid-grade sacred artifact, specifically designed to break through protective spiritual power and physical defenses.

The dagger is also coated with the "Nightmare Poison" made by the Shadow Pavilion. Once it is inserted, the poison will instantly invade the soul, plunging the person into an endless nightmare, leaving them at the mercy of others!
This thrust was silent, swift as lightning, and pierced through Lin Langtian's blind spot with a tricky angle!
If it were an ordinary high-ranking Earthly Sovereign, under the Shadow Demon's deadly sneak attack, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die!
However, as if Lin Langtian had eyes in the back of his head, just as the dagger was about to pierce him, he suddenly took a step forward and twisted his body at a strange angle, so that the dagger barely grazed his back!

"laugh!"

The dagger tore his robes, but did not wound his flesh.

The Shadow Demon missed her first attack and was about to disappear into the shadows to attack again when a slender hand, like an iron clamp, reached out and grabbed her wrist!

"Got you." Lin Langtian's voice rang in her ears, calm yet carrying an irresistible pressure.

Yingmei's pupils shrank suddenly. She tried to break free, but found that Lin Langtian's palm was like cast iron and did not move at all!

Her speed and agility, which she was so proud of, were completely useless in the face of this absolute power!
"Let go!" she shouted, and a dagger appeared in her other hand, which she thrust towards Lin Langtian's wrist!

Lin Langtian neither dodged nor avoided, but simply gave a gentle grip.

"Crack!"

Yingmei felt a sharp pain in her wrist, as if it had been crushed by iron clamps. She could no longer hold the dagger and it clattered to the ground. She screamed in agony, her face turning deathly pale.

Lin Langtian casually tossed her away.

The shadow demon's body tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily against the wall of the hall, spitting out blood as it slid to the ground, suffering considerable injuries.

Hei Yuan and Jiao Tu exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock and a hidden fear in each other's eyes.

The strength that Lin Langtian displayed was simply too formidable!
"Who...who exactly are you?!" Hei Yuan swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

Lin Langtian did not answer. He slowly raised his right hand, and dark golden light began to condense in his palm.

The light was not dazzling, but it carried a domineering aura of creation, as if it were the first ray of light at the beginning of the world, or as if it were the last calamity light that destroyed all things.

The Undying Heaven-Opening Axe!

The dark gold battle axe slowly took shape in his palm. The broad axe body was like a door panel, and a cold, icy light flowed from the axe blade. The animal hide wrapped around the axe handle faintly emitted a dark red light, like dried blood.

The moment the battle axe appeared, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop several degrees, and the invisible pressure made Hei Yuan and Jiao Tu almost unable to breathe.

"This...this is a high-level sacred artifact?!" Jiao Tu exclaimed in shock.

Hei Yuan's face turned deathly pale. He clearly felt the terrifying power contained in that battle axe... a power that could threaten his life!
"escape!"

The thought flashed through their minds at the same time, and without further hesitation, they turned and fled!
Even the subordinates of the three forces who were originally hiding in the distance rushed towards the exit of the main hall like frightened birds!
However, would Lin Langtian give them a chance?

He gripped the axe with both hands, raised it high, and then brought it down with a mighty chop!
"Heaven-Splitting Slash!"

A dark golden axe light ripped through the void, like the first ray of light at the beginning of creation, sweeping forward!

Where the axe light passed, a long black crack was cleaved in space, and chaotic void currents surged out, devouring everything around them!
Hei Yuan and Jiao Tu desperately channeled their spiritual power, trying to block the axe light.

Hei Yuan formed hand seals, condensing black spiritual energy barriers in front of him, while Jiao Tu activated the Jiao Demon Transformation, strengthening his physical body to the extreme, and crossed his arms to protect himself!
However, all efforts were in vain before that axe light!
"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"

The spiritual energy barrier of the Black Abyss was torn apart layer by layer like thin paper!
Jiao Tu's arms were struck by the axe light, and the dragon scales protecting his body shattered instantly, causing blood to splatter!

The two screamed as they were sent flying by the axe's light, crashing heavily into the wall in the distance, leaving two human-shaped dents. They spat out blood and were barely breathing.
With just one axe strike, two of the three high-ranking Earthly Sovereigns were crippled and one was seriously injured!
The main hall was deathly silent.

Those who managed to escape to a distant location from the three factions watched this scene with their legs going weak and their faces turning pale, almost unable to believe their eyes.

Three powerful figures from the Endless Seas joined forces, yet they couldn't even withstand a single axe blow from this young man?!

Lin Langtian sheathed his Undying Heaven-Opening Axe, stood with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the three powerful figures lying on the ground. He said indifferently, "Do you still want to fight?"

Hei Yuan struggled to crawl out of the crater in the wall, covered in blood and his face as pale as paper.

He stared intently at Lin Langtian, his eyes filled with resentment and fear, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Shadowy leaned against the wall, clutching her injured wrist, her alluring face filled with terror.

She finally realized that the young man in front of her was someone they could not afford to mess with.

Jiao Tu lay sprawled on the ground, his arms covered in blood, his face, marred by a hideous scar, filled with shock and awe.

He opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "What a domineering axe, I...I'm impressed."

Lin Langtian had subdued the three men, and his expression remained largely unchanged throughout, as if everything was under his control.

Lin Langtian then ignored them and turned to walk towards the high platform.

He raised his hand and swept all the treasures that caught his eye from the orbs of light, then landed in front of the fist-sized dark purple crystal.

The Dark Spirit Crystal floated in mid-air, emitting a faint glow and containing extremely dense fluctuations of dark spiritual energy.

Lin Langtian slowly reached out and grasped it in his palm.

It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a cool energy flowed into his body through his palm, instantly invigorating him.

He could sense that the dark energy contained within this Dark Spirit Crystal was far greater than he had imagined.

If it can be refined, the Dark Magic Rune will surely advance further, and may even break through to an unprecedented level.

"Finally got it."

He smiled slightly, put the Dark Spirit Crystal into his pocket, and then turned and walked deeper into the main hall.

"Let's go," he said calmly.

Yin Ruoshui came to her senses, the shock on her pretty face slowly faded, and she quickly followed.

Behind him, Hei Yuan, Ying Mei, and Jiao Tu slumped to the ground, staring at the receding figure in green robes, speechless for a long time.

This battle will be forever etched in their memories.

That young man single-handedly defeated three powerful beings at the highest level.

His name is Lin Langtian! (End of Chapter)
