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

Chapter 366: Power of the Spirit Mark

Boom! Boom!

A surge of overwhelming energy exploded from Lin Langtian's flame armor, rippling out like a storm, attracting countless stares of amazement. With power flooding through him, Lin Langtian clenched his fists, feeling a tide of energy coursing around him. A satisfied smile tugged at his lips.

The armor that encased him was stronger than ever, far surpassing what it was during his fight with Zhang Hao. His body had become sturdier, capable of channeling an intense, nearly chaotic power, transforming him into an unstoppable, human war machine.

"Impressive. You've exceeded my expectations," Yuan Cang muttered, glancing down at the power radiating from Lin Langtian. Hidden in his gaze, a cold, murderous intent began to build. The more potential Lin Langtian showed, the more Yuan Cang's resolve to eliminate him grew—he could not bear to let anyone surpass him.

"No matter what tricks you have, I am the strongest among the younger disciples. Yuan Sect's legacy belongs to me!" Yuan Cang's gaze sharpened, and with a shout, his powerful energy surged, and a black iron sword materialized in his hand. With a swing, sharp waves of sword energy cascaded down like a rain of stars, each blast powerful enough to crush a Ninth Nirvana Realm warrior.

But as the deadly wave neared, Lin Langtian did not flinch. He waited until the sword energy was nearly upon him, then swung a single punch upward.

With a swing, Lin Langtian's armored fist erupted with fire, and despite lacking any additional energy from his inner strength, the punch collided directly with the approaching wave of sword energy. In a heartbeat, the deadly attack shattered into countless glowing fragments, disintegrating with a loud crack.

"Senior Brother Yuan," Lin Langtian called out, smirking as he met Yuan Cang's gaze. "If you want to defeat me, you'll need more than this. Tricks like these are just embarrassing for a top disciple of Yuan Sect's Three Princes."

Lin Langtian's voice echoed, filled with icy confidence. Then, with a flicker of thought, he summoned a black tree branch. As his energy poured into it, the branch pulsed with an intense, volatile power.

"The Ancient Celestial Branch?" Yuan Cang's eyes narrowed as he spotted the branch.

The flame-armored Lin Langtian was already like an unstoppable beast, and with the indestructible Celestial Branch in hand, he was an even more formidable opponent.

"Attack first!" Yuan Cang moved swiftly, his years of battle experience guiding him. In a flash, he left several afterimages as he darted toward Lin Langtian, his black sword aimed straight for Lin Langtian's throat. The power in the strike could have reduced a Ninth Nirvana Realm master to a cloud of blood.

Lin Langtian remained calm, his hand tightening around the tree branch as a powerful surge of energy flooded through his arm. He raised the branch and struck, generating a thunderous blast that sent a massive shockwave toward Yuan Cang.

Swish!

Yuan Cang countered, his sword slicing down with a force that created a towering blade arc. With a clash, Yuan Cang's blade pushed back Lin Langtian's branch, displaying the raw power of his Profound Realm mastery.

At that moment, Lin Langtian's fiery figure darted forward, closing in on Yuan Cang. His fingers, sharp as spears, turned into a flurry of attacks, each strike aiming for Yuan Cang's vital points.

Swish! Swish!

Lin Langtian's attacks created a storm of black and red energy, each strike carrying tremendous force. Even the air seemed to shatter around his attacks.

"Fool!" Yuan Cang's face twisted with fury. His sword created a wall of shadows to parry Lin Langtian's strikes.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Their strikes collided in a shower of sparks, metal ringing through the air. Yuan Cang's sword was met with the brutal strength of Lin Langtian's body, each impact making Yuan Cang's eyes widen slightly in shock.

"So strong…"

With each strike, Yuan Cang began to realize the strength in Lin Langtian's fully-armored body. Even his high-grade spiritual sword couldn't break through Lin Langtian's defenses.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Langtian intensified his assault, every part of his body—fists, elbows, knees, and even his head—becoming a deadly weapon, each movement carrying the weight and fury of a war machine.

Facing Lin Langtian's relentless attacks, Yuan Cang was caught off guard, struggling to defend against the fierce onslaught. But quickly, he steadied himself, summoning a powerful aura that enveloped him like a protective bell of energy.

Dong! Dong!

Lin Langtian's blows landed on the energy shield, sending waves of sound echoing through the air. The fierce battle ignited the blood of everyone watching, their faces flush with excitement as they marveled at Lin Langtian's raw power.

"A combat technique this powerful… could he have found it on the Ancient Battlefield?" muttered Ren Yuanzi, the sect master, from the high seat, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully.

Lin Langtian's body-strengthening technique was no ordinary art—it was a rare, ancient mastery that could rival the foundational techniques of even the Grand Hall of the Primal Gods, known for its physical training arts. Ren Yuanzi was clearly intrigued.

With each strike, Lin Langtian's smirk deepened as cracks began to form on Yuan Cang's energy bell.

"Break!"

With a shout, Lin Langtian paused, then poured an even more intense surge of energy into his punch. His fiery strength shot out like a drill, shattering the protective bell with a deafening boom. The explosion threw both fighters back, each taking a few staggering steps in the air before steadying themselves.

Spectators were left in awe, marveling at the battle's ferocity. This fight far exceeded what they had ever seen from Nirvana Realm warriors.

But what truly shocked them was that Lin Langtian, still only at the Ninth Nirvana Realm, was holding his own against Yuan Cang, a Profound Realm master.

"Lin Langtian's ability to hold his own against Yuan Cang… he's unstoppable!" thought the disciples, each one feeling a new respect.

"Senior Brother!" Song Yun and his group cheered, hardly able to contain their excitement. Yuan Cang was a legendary figure, yet Lin Langtian was managing to match him, even slightly gaining the upper hand.

"How could he be this powerful?" Lei Qian muttered, stunned. During their previous battle, Lin Langtian had only partially summoned his flame armor. But now, fully armored, he seemed invincible.

"Don't worry. Yuan Cang still has plenty of techniques to use. Lin Langtian won't find victory so easily," Ling Zhen replied with a confident smirk.

Lin Langtian looked down at his armor, noticing faint white marks from Yuan Cang's sword. But these slashes—powerful enough to kill any normal Ninth Nirvana warrior—had only left superficial traces on his armor. With a thought, his flame armor glowed, and the white marks vanished, his armor as good as new.

Clenching his fists, Lin Langtian grinned. This was the first time he could unleash the full extent of his physical strength. Every punch, every kick, all his strikes carried a power as unstoppable as a landslide.

"Senior Brother Yuan, how about one more move?" Lin Langtian shouted, charging forward, his fist blazing as it tore through the air toward Yuan Cang.

"Damn it!" Yuan Cang scowled, then sneered. "Don't celebrate just yet!"

In a burst of force, Yuan Cang's energy swelled behind him, his Profound Realm power on full display.

"Empyrean Manual—Hand of the Heavens!"

With a shout, Yuan Cang raised his hand, and a colossal hand of pure energy materialized above, radiating a terrifying power as it swung down toward Lin Langtian.

Boom!

The massive energy hand came down with overwhelming force, colliding with Lin Langtian's fist in midair. Thunderous blasts echoed as Lin Langtian's fist struggled against the massive hand, each blast stirring the very air around them.

"You can't win, Lin Langtian!" Yuan Cang laughed, his hands forming a strange seal. As he completed the seal, a mystical mark appeared on his forehead, shimmering faintly.

"Is that… a Spirit Mark?" Lin Langtian noticed the symbol, his expression shifting in realization.

"You see it now?" Yuan Cang's smile twisted, and as the Spirit Mark on his forehead glowed, his energy surged higher than ever before.

Boom! Boom!

With his power skyrocketing, Yuan Cang's energy hand swelled even larger, its force becoming nearly unbearable.

"Retreat!" Lin Langtian grunted, realizing the threat. He withdrew just in time to avoid the energy hand's crushing force.

Catching his breath, Lin Langtian gazed warily at Yuan Cang and muttered, "What a terrifying Spirit Mark…"
