Wu dong Qian Kun: I, Lin Langtian, Refuse to be a Supporting Character

Chapter 143: Using the Ancestral Symbol

"So... borrowing my power, is it?" Ling Yi murmured to herself, then nodded. "Your physical strength and overall abilities have improved since the last time in the ancient tomb, so you should be able to handle more of my power. But even so, the limit your body can bear is equivalent to a Dual-Yuan Nirvana Stage. And even then, you'll need to defeat that old man quickly, or else you'll lose control before he even has a chance to kill you."

"Dual-Yuan Nirvana Stage, huh…" Lin Langtian murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly before he nodded with confidence. "Don't worry, Ling Yi. Dual-Yuan Nirvana strength will be more than enough to deal with this old relic."

As he spoke, Lin Langtian's focus returned from his dantian, and he opened his eyes, now burning with fierce determination. A formidable energy radiated from within him, transforming his very presence.

The deafening sounds of power and energy reverberated around him once more, with an intense yuan pressure rippling out in waves from above.

"Enough of these games. I'm too old to waste my time sparring with a puppet," scoffed the elderly man, taking a step forward as the surrounding yuan energy surged around him in a roaring vortex of fiery power.

"Flame-Breaking Gale Palm!"

The elder's eyes were cold as he thrust his hand forward, unleashing a torrent of yuan energy that transformed into an enormous palm print, roughly 300 feet across, surging with explosive power.

Boom!

The palm imprint dominated the sky, descending heavily towards the demon puppet below, radiating heat so intense that it distorted the air around it. The rocks and trees below turned to ash in an instant under its overwhelming force.

"Roar!"

Sensing the oncoming threat, the demon puppet let out a furious bellow, a torrent of black energy erupting from it as it punched directly toward the incoming attack.

Bang!

In the sky, the two attacks collided, sending shockwaves rippling across the landscape as a terrifying gust of wind swept through the area. Amid the storm of energy, the puppet faltered, its form suddenly weakening as the flames dimmed. Like a broken kite, it was sent tumbling down, crashing into the ground.

"Not bad for a puppet. Now, I'll finish you and then go after that boy," the elder sneered, lifting his hand for another strike.

But just as his palm was about to land on the fallen puppet, Lin Langtian suddenly looked up, his eyes ablaze with dark flames.

Thud!

Lin Langtian's hand shot out, blocking the elder's powerful palm strike mid-air with nothing but his own grip. The violent yuan energy radiated outward, cracking the ground around him. Lin Langtian stood unwavering, his body solid as a rock under the elder's fierce attack.

"What?! How is this possible?"

The elder's eyes filled with shock as he gasped, "You… how can you wield Nirvana Stage power?"

Even the elder's typically impassive expression tightened, his gaze fixed on Lin Langtian's figure surrounded by black flames. The powerful aura around him was undeniable—Lin Langtian had indeed reached the Nirvana Stage.

Lin Langtian returned the elder's intense stare, his voice steady as he replied, "Do not think that because you've reached the Nirvana Stage, you can run amok in the Great Yan Dynasty. With your abilities, I'd guess you're barely noticed in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace."

"How dare you, brat! Don't get cocky. Whatever you're using to boost your power doesn't belong to you. If you think it'll be enough to stop me, you're gravely mistaken," the elder growled, his voice rumbling like thunder.

Lin Langtian's words had struck a nerve. Despite being in the Three-Yuan Nirvana Stage, his strength was considered middling within the ranks of his sect. His desire to possess the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was rooted in his need to gain the recognition of his peers.

"We'll see," Lin Langtian shot back. His hand clenched tightly, drawing blood as his skin split. The strain of channeling Ling Yi's power was immense, but he didn't hesitate.

Boom!

Their energies collided once again, with a chilling light flickering in their eyes as they lunged forward. In a flash, both figures sped across the sky, clashing in mid-air with thunderous force.

The elder's gaze was sharp as he unleashed a punch, his yuan energy surging like a volcanic eruption. His attack carried the strength to shatter mountains.

But Lin Langtian didn't flinch, his fists alight with black energy mixed with eerie flames.

Thud!

The two mighty attacks clashed, sending shockwaves rippling through the air. Trees and rock crumbled to dust as the shockwave spread outwards.

Both figures were forced back, retreating dozens of steps. A wary glint appeared in the elder's eyes as he looked at Lin Langtian. He had felt that Lin Langtian's yuan energy contained a strange black flame that seemed to consume his own power upon contact.

"Who is this kid? His power seems to come out of nowhere," thought the elder, his resolve hardening as he gathered his full strength.

From all around, yuan energy gathered to him in powerful waves, a terrifying display of his Three-Yuan Nirvana mastery.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian smirked, saying coldly, "You want the Devouring Ancestral Symbol? Then let me show you its power!"

Since the elder was a deadly threat, there was no point in hiding his ancestral symbol any longer.

With a swift series of hand seals, Lin Langtian settled into a seated position mid-air. An ancient symbol began to form above his head, exuding an intense and strange energy. The symbol stretched and contorted, transforming into a massive black vortex that hovered ominously above him.

"Path of Devouring—consume all things!"

A deep, resonant voice filled Lin Langtian's mind, and the black vortex began to pulsate, unleashing a devouring force so powerful that it seemed to suck the surrounding energy out of the world itself. The wild yuan energy surging from the elder was drawn into the vortex, disappearing without a trace as if swallowed whole.

The elder's eyes widened with shock and greed, fixating on the vortex above Lin Langtian.

"It's real… the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!"
