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

On the platform, blood flowed from the corpses, slowly converging along the fine lines on the ground towards the enormous black demon egg.

The dark red patterns on the surface of the demon egg grew brighter and denser, like countless blood vessels pulsating, emanating a chillingly evil aura.

The man in black robes stopped his killing spree, stood with his hands behind his back next to the demon egg, and his face under the hood was finally exposed in the dim light.

It was a pale, almost transparent face with deep-set, well-defined features, but its dark, inky pupils, devoid of whites, emitted an eerie light that was not of human origin.

A cruel and triumphant smile appeared on his lips as he slowly raised his hands and pulled back his hood.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down, swaying gently in the wind.

His face was not much different from a human's, and could even be described as quite handsome, but the coldness and evil that emanated from his very bones made everyone present feel a chill involuntarily.

"Gentlemen," he began, his voice hoarse yet carrying a condescending mockery.

"Welcome to... your final resting place."

These words caused an uproar in the audience!

"Who...who are you?!" someone asked, trembling.

The man in black robes, who should be considered a powerful member of the extraterrestrial evil race, deepened the smile at the corners of his mouth.

He raised his right hand, and a ball of dark demonic energy slowly condensed in his palm.

The demonic energy was so dense that it was almost tangible, emanating a nauseating, decaying stench, just like the demonic energy in Helian Tieshan's body before, but even purer, more violent, and more terrifying!
"Me?" He chuckled softly.

"I am Qiongluo, a general under the Dark Demon Emperor. I was ordered by the Holy Demon Emperor to infiltrate the Great Thousand World to find an opportunity to save the Demon Emperor. Now, after ten thousand years of waiting, this day has finally come."

"An extraterrestrial demon! He's a member of the extraterrestrial demon race!"

"No wonder he had that eerie aura! Damn it, the extraterrestrial evil race has actually infiltrated the Great Thousand World!"

"Damn it! We've fallen into a trap!"

……

The crowd was filled with shock and anger, and they all retreated, instinctively keeping their distance from the black-robed man who called himself the Dark Demon General.

An Cang stood beside Qiong Luo, his face gloomy, but he showed no surprise.

His gaze swept over the panicked experts, and his lips twitched slightly, as if he were forcibly suppressing something.

Hei Tianjue's gaze fell on An Cang, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "An Cang, as the second elder of the Dark Spirit Clan, you actually colluded with the extraterrestrial evil race? Do you know that this is to make an enemy of the entire Great Thousand World!"

An Cang remained silent for a moment, then raised his head, his dark eyes filled with determination and madness.

"To be an enemy of the entire world?" He sneered.

"So what? My Dark Spirit Clan has struggled for thousands of years in the shadows and cracks of your Black Sky Ancient Clan, suffering endless oppression and bullying. When have you high and mighty ancient clans ever given us a second glance?"

An Cang took a deep breath to calm himself down and continued, "Therefore, I have reached an agreement with Lord Qiong Luo."

He helped me obtain the inheritance of the ancient Black Emperor, and I helped him rescue the sealed Demon Emperor. It was a fair trade, each getting what they needed.

His gaze swept over everyone present, a cruel smile curving his lips: "And you will all die here."

By then, no one will know that I cooperated with the extraterrestrial evil race. I, An Cang, will inherit the mantle of the ancient Black Emperor and become one of the strongest beings in the Great Thousand Worlds. And the Dark Spirit Race, under my leadership, will become one of the most powerful forces in this world!

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

All eyes were on An Cang, filled with anger, disdain, fear, and disbelief.

Colluding with evil races from beyond the realm is the greatest taboo in the world, a crime that no race or power can tolerate!
As the second elder of the Dark Spirit Clan, An Cang actually cooperated with the Evil Clan for the sake of the Black Emperor's inheritance, and even wanted to kill everyone!
"You're insane...you're insane!" someone murmured.

Hei Tianjue's face was ashen, his long black hair fluttered in the wind, and killing intent surged in his deep eyes.

He slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, pitch-black spiritual energy began to condense, radiating a chilling aura.

“An Cang, since you have chosen to collude with the evil race, you are now an enemy of my Black Heaven Ancient Clan, and also an enemy of the entire Great Thousand World,” he said coldly.

"Today, you will die."

An Cang sneered: "You? Hei Tianjue, although you are strong, don't forget that Lord Qiongluo is a Dark Demon General under the Dark Netherworld Demon Emperor, and his strength is no less than yours."

"And those people around you are nothing but a rabble; what can they do to me?"

Qiong Luo stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips, as if he were watching an amusing farce.

He didn't speak, but just stared at Hei Tianjue quietly, his dark eyes filled with amusement and provocation.

However, at that moment...

"Who said they were a rabble?"

A calm voice rang out, and Lin Langtian slowly walked out of the crowd.

Beside him, Helian Tieshan strode forward, his burly body like a moving mountain, exuding the terrifying aura of a peak Earthly Sovereign.

Yin Ruoshui also gripped the sacred weapon tightly, standing firmly behind Lin Langtian.

Hei Yuan, Ying Mei, Jiao Tu, Lao Gui, and the others exchanged glances and stepped forward one after another.

Although they had a grudge against Lin Langtian, those grudges were insignificant in the face of the extraterrestrial evil race.

Colluding with evil forces makes one an enemy of all!
“Count me in,” Hei Yuan said in a deep voice.

“Although the Shadow Tower acts in secrecy, it never associates with the evil race.” Shadow Demon also stepped forward.

"Although I, Old Jiao, am rough, I know what I should and shouldn't do!" Jiao Tu covered his wound and strode forward.

The old tortoise of the Xuanbing Turtle Clan nodded slowly, his aged face filled with solemnity.

Those powerful rogue cultivators also gripped their weapons tightly, their gazes fixed firmly on Qiongluo and Ancang.

In an instant, nearly a hundred figures surrounded Qiong Luo and An Cang, their various spiritual energy fluctuations intertwining to create a powerful sense of oppression.

Qiong Luo watched this scene, but the smile on his lips did not fade at all.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the dark demonic energy in his palm grew increasingly dense and violent.

"Interesting." He said calmly, "Since you all want to die, then I will grant your wish."

Before he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot like a ghost!

"Watch out!" Helian Tieshan shouted, striking the void beside him with his palm!

"boom!"

The two palms collided, unleashing a deafening roar!

Helian Tieshan took three steps back, his face turning slightly pale. Qiong Luo's figure appeared, and he also took two steps back, but his expression remained calm.

"Helian Tieshan, as expected of the former commander of the Black Abyss Army, does have some skill," Qiong Luo said calmly.

"But do you think this will stop me?"

His gaze swept over Lin Langtian, Hei Tianjue, Helian Tieshan and others, a strange smile curving his lips, before he suddenly turned towards... the Dark Spirit Clan's camp!
"Die!" he shouted, and his figure flashed again, appearing in front of a powerful Dark Spirit Clan member!
"you!"

The Dark Spirit Clan expert was still hesitating because his second elder had defected to the extraterrestrial evil race. Before he could react, Qiong Luo smashed his head with a single palm strike!

Blood splattered!

"What?!" An Cang's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed in shock, "Qiong Luo, what are you doing?!"

However, Qiong Luo completely ignored him. His figure moved like a ghost, weaving among the powerful members of the Dark Spirit Clan. With each strike, a powerful warrior fell!

Although those Dark Spirit Clan experts were also Earth Sovereign level experts, they were like lambs to the slaughter in front of Qiong Luo, powerless to fight back!

"what!"

"Second Elder! Help!"

……

Screams, wails, and questions mingled together, echoing throughout the entire platform!

"Qiong Luo, what are you doing? Those are my Dark Spirit Clan members, not your sacrifices!" An Cang shouted again upon seeing this.

Qiong Luo did not stop his slaughter. The smile on his lips deepened as he looked at An Cang and said slowly, "Think about it yourself. If even one person leaves here alive today, the news of your collusion with the evil race will spread throughout the entire Great Thousand World."

What will your Dark Spirit Clan face then? Will the Black Sky Ancient Clan let you go? Will other forces let you go?
Therefore, the Demon Emperor must be resurrected, and resurrecting the Demon Emperor requires a great deal of flesh and blood!

“And…” Qiong Luo added, his voice like a demon’s whisper.

"Are your clansmen really reliable? They know you're cooperating with the extraterrestrial evil race. Even if they don't dare say anything now, what about later? What if someone leaks it out? Can you guarantee that every single one of them will keep quiet?"

He lowered his voice, his tone carrying an irresistible seduction: "Only the dead can keep secrets forever, Elder An Cang, don't you think so?"

An Cang trembled all over, his eyes filled with struggle.

He looked at the elite of the Dark Spirit Clan, his subordinates who had followed him for many years, and his loyal clansmen.

They were looking at him now, their eyes filled with fear, doubt, and a hint of barely concealed disappointment.

"Second Elder... he can't be telling the truth, can he?" a Dark Spirit Clan expert asked in a trembling voice, "You... you wouldn't really..."

An Cang did not answer. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, the struggle and hesitation in them had disappeared, replaced by an almost insane determination.

"I'm sorry," he said softly, then suddenly raised his hand!

"boom!"

The Dark Spirit Clan expert closest to him didn't even have time to react before his head was smashed by a single palm strike!

Blood splattered, covering his face!

"Second Elder?! You…"

"Why?!"

"Escape! Escape!"

The remaining Dark Spirit Clan experts were terrified and fled frantically in all directions!

However, would Qiongluo give them a chance?
Qiong Luo's figure flashed, appearing like a ghost in front of a Dark Spirit Clan expert who was the fastest to escape, and struck out with a palm.

The man screamed and flew backward, his chest caved in, blood gushing from his mouth. He was already dead when he hit the ground.

"what!"

"Don't kill me!"

"Second Elder, spare my life!"

Screams, pleas for mercy, and wails mingled together, echoing throughout the entire platform!

Blood splattered everywhere, and severed limbs were scattered all over the place!
Although those Dark Spirit Clan experts were also Earth Sovereign level experts, they were caught off guard and had no power to fight back against the combined attack of An Cang and Qiong Luo, both Earth Sovereign Great Perfection experts!

An Cang's face was deathly pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and with each move he made, the blood of his own people splattered on him.

His body was trembling, his heart was bleeding, but he didn't stop; he had no way out.

Qiong Luo, however, always wore that eerie smile as he harvested lives, as if he were reaping wheat in a field.

His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if those who died at his hands were not living people, but a herd of livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

In just a few dozen breaths, before Lin Langtian and the others could react, more than a dozen Dark Spirit Clan experts fell into pools of blood.

Blood flowed into streams, following the fine lines on the ground, towards the enormous black demon egg.

An Cang stood amidst the pile of corpses, his body covered in blood, his face as pale as paper, his eyes filled with madness and despair.

His hands were trembling, his lips were quivering, but he didn't stop.

He slowly raised his hand, and drops of blood from his palm fell to the ground.

Qiong Luo stood beside him with his hands behind his back, a satisfied smile on his lips, watching the blood flow towards the demon egg.

"Very good." Qiong Luo said calmly, "Elder An Cang, you have made the right choice."

From this day forward, you are a friend of our evil race. The Demon Emperor will not forget your contributions once he awakens.

An Cang did not answer; he lowered his head and looked at the corpses on the ground.

He personally killed those clansmen who had once been loyal to him, those subordinates who had fought alongside him.

Qiong Luo's words kept replaying in his mind.

"Only the dead can keep a secret forever."

He suddenly laughed, a hoarse, desolate, and frantic laugh, like the mournful cry of an owl.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing An Cang's eerie and sinister laughter, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

This Dark Azure not only colluded with the evil races from beyond the realm, but also slaughtered his own people like dogs. He was truly ruthless and worse than a beast!

At the same time, the black demon egg began to vibrate violently after absorbing a large amount of blood!
The dark red lines on the eggshell surface became brighter and denser, like countless blood vessels pulsating, emitting a dull thumping sound.

That's the Demon Emperor's heartbeat!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heartbeat grew faster and stronger, and the entire mountain trembled slightly at that moment!
An extremely terrifying pressure emanated from the demon egg, enveloping everyone present!

That pressure surpassed even the Great Perfection of the Earthly Sovereign, and even surpassed Helian Tieshan; it was... the aura of the Heavenly Sovereign!
"Damn it, the Demon Emperor is about to awaken!" someone murmured in a trembling voice.

Qiong Luo stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the violently shaking demon egg, his eyes filled with fervor and joy.

"After ten thousand years of waiting, finally..." he murmured softly, "The Demon Emperor is about to reappear in the world!"

The cracks on the demon egg grew denser and deeper.

Streams of pitch-black demonic energy surged from the cracks, like countless venomous snakes, swirling, roaring, and dancing wildly in the air!
"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a huge crack appeared at the top of the demon egg.

A jet-black hand, covered in scales, slowly emerged from the crack!

Everyone involuntarily took a step back, their faces turning pale.

The being within that demonic egg… the Demon Emperor who has been sealed away for millennia, is about to awaken.

And all of them will become...prey after the Demon Emperor awakens. (End of Chapter)
