Wu dong Qian Kun: I, Lin Langtian, Refuse to be a Supporting Character Chapter 590: The Seat Wager and the Great Universe Cover

"An elder of the Fire Branch, nothing special…"

When Lin Langtian's calm and indifferent voice echoed through the heavens and earth, the entire place fell into absolute silence, broken only by Wu Yan's continuous wailing.

Countless gazes across the region were fixed in shock upon the tall and slender youth standing proudly atop the white jade platform.

No one had anticipated that Lin Langtian would achieve victory so decisively. It was important to rember that Wu Yan was a formidable expert at the Samsara stage. In any region of the Tian Xuan Continent, such a figure would dominate as a supre overlord, yet now he had fallen to a youth who was rely at the peak Death Profound Stage.

This was nothing short of a miracle.

"But that's a Samsara stage expert…" Nurous powerful beings muttered in astonishnt.

"Impossible!"

The elders and clansn of the Fire Branch looked on, their faces aghast as though they'd seen a ghost. Just monts ago, they had anticipated mocking Lin Langtian, yet in a re blink of an eye, they themselves had beco the joke.

Nearby, the mbers of the Lin Branch stared in equal horror, nervously swallowing, their eyes filled with dread as they gazed at Lin Langtian.

At the mountain where the Wind Branch gathered, the clansn stared at each other in silence. After a long while, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads and murmured in disbelief, "So terrifying…"

Beside Jin Wu, Shuang Wu's beautiful eyes shone brightly with admiration. She gazed at Lin Langtian's heroic and upright figure on the white jade platform, her heart surging with excitent.

Compared to Lin Langtian, those so-called geniuses from Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace or the Black Golden Crow Clan were utterly overshadowed.

"Remarkable kid, he actually managed to extract such a vast amount of power from the countless gigantic Yuan Trees of our Crow Realm through his martial technique. Wu Yan losing to him is not unjustified," Elder Wu Pan exclaid in surprise, quickly recognizing the mystery behind Lin Langtian's technique.

The Wood Emperor Transformation Lin Langtian employed was incredibly domineering. When thousands of Yuan Trees' energies exploded simultaneously, the resulting destructive force rendered Wu Yan powerless almost instantly.

"It seems our Chief made the correct choice in selecting an ally. There is still hope for the Wind Branch." Elder Wu Pan sighed in relief.

Initially, he had doubted Chief Wu Xuan's judgnt. After all, no matter how talented a Death Profound Stage cultivator was, what role could he possibly play in the Samsara-dominated arena of the various branches' battle?

But now it was clear that Chief Wu Xuan indeed possessed keen judgnt. Lin Langtian was genuinely extraordinary.

At the sa ti, Chief Wu Xuan, whose fists had been tightly clenched, finally relaxed and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Truthfully, choosing Lin Langtian was sowhat of a desperate decision. Under continuous pressure from the Lin and Fire branches, the Wind Branch had struggled to find powerful reinforcents.

Only Lin Langtian, recomnded by Jin Wu and consistently capable of creating miracles, seed a viable choice. Now, it seed that selecting Lin Langtian had been an extrely wise move. Though he was rely at the peak of the Death Profound Stage, his battle prowess was terrifyingly powerful.

After a period of silence, murmurs gradually rose from the crowd. When people looked again at the severely wounded Wu Yan, a trace of fear had entered their eyes.

Even a powerful Samsara Stage expert had been severely injured, demonstrating the terrifying potency of Lin Langtian's green Yuan energy.

"Little brat, such cunning thods!"

Fire Branch Chief Wu Yan's face turned ashen. Lin Langtian's victory had delivered a fierce slap to the Fire Branch's dignity. Worse yet, Lin Langtian had used the Yuan Trees from the Crow Realm itself—this was literally using their own power against them.

"Hehe, it's nothing special. Your Fire Branch didn't seem very honorable when defeating Elder Wu Pan earlier either," Lin Langtian retorted calmly, ignoring Wu Yan's furious expression.

Wu Yan's expression darkened considerably. After a cold snort, his eyes narrowed thoughtfully. Turning towards Chief Wu Xuan, he smiled darkly and said, "Consider yourself fortunate this ti. Your Wind Branch managed to keep one seat. However, you've lost three seats over the years. Even if you retain two seats now, it's rely prolonging your suffering."

"But I have an idea. Would Chief Wu Xuan care to hear it?"

Noticing Wu Yan's cunning expression, Wu Xuan felt uneasy but coldly replied, "Don't play gas, Wu Yan. Just state your idea clearly."

"Hehe, it's simple. Since your branch has such powerful assistance, why don't our two branches make a wager? Shortly, our Fire Branch will send another elder to challenge your young friend here. If he wins, our Fire Branch will return one seat to your Wind Branch. However, if you lose… you'll surrender one more seat."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan's expression changed dramatically. He hadn't expected Wu Yan to propose such a bold wager—gambling directly with a seat in the Elders' Council.

After calming himself, Wu Xuan acknowledged that Wu Yan's suggestion indeed had great allure. Normally, winning back a seat required defeating three of the four Fire Branch elders consecutively. Now, only one more victory was needed, greatly improving their chances.

Furthermore, if they won another seat, the Wind Branch would hold three seats in total. Although not at their peak level, it would safeguard them from further decline.

However, Wu Xuan clearly understood that this wager was honey laced with poison. If they lost, the Wind Branch would face complete disaster.

Just as Wu Xuan prepared to refuse, Lin Langtian suddenly spoke up, "Uncle Wu Xuan, accept the wager."

Wu Xuan looked at Lin Langtian in astonishnt. Although Lin Langtian's Wood Emperor Transformation was formidable, the Fire Branch now understood his thods. Wu Yan wouldn't have proposed this wager without a backup plan. It wouldn't be easy to win another round.

Seeing Lin Langtian's calm expression, Wu Xuan hesitated. Lin Langtian glanced calmly at Chief Wu Yan and smiled faintly, saying, "Don't worry, Uncle Wu Xuan. I'm confident."

After seeing Lin Langtian's assurance, Wu Xuan finally gritted his teeth and turned to Wu Yan. "Will Chief Wu Yan personally participate this ti?"

Wu Yan smiled dismissively and shook his head. "Of course not. To deal with a junior doesn't require my personal intervention."

Wu Xuan relaxed sowhat. If Wu Yan didn't fight personally, Lin Langtian's chance of victory was considerable.

Thus, Wu Xuan nodded resolutely. "In that case, our Wind Branch accepts the wager."

Seeing this, Wu Yan smiled and turned respectfully towards Great Elder Wu Qian. "Since the wager is agreed upon, let the Great Elder bear witness."

Great Elder Wu Qian gazed at Wu Yan, frowned slightly, but spoke indifferently. "This is a matter between your two branches; I will not interfere. However, given our nurous guests, should either side break their word and disgrace the Black Golden Crow Clan, I will not remain indifferent."

His voice, calm yet commanding, pressed upon their hearts with imnse authority.

"Yes, Great Elder!"

Wu Xuan and Wu Yan imdiately responded respectfully, fully aware that angering the Great Elder ant dire consequences.

With the wager confird, Wu Yan coldly glanced at Lin Langtian before addressing another elder, "Elder Wu Lie, it's your turn."

As he spoke, a faint black light shot secretly from his sleeve, silently entering Elder Wu Lie's robes. Feeling the hidden object, Elder Wu Lie's expression turned serious. He nodded firmly and focused his sharp gaze on Lin Langtian, saying slowly, "Then let test your strength."

Lin Langtian smiled faintly, stepping onto the platform occupied by Elder Wu Lie without hesitation.

Boom!

Without uttering a word, Elder Wu Lie's body transford instantly into an enormous Black Golden Crow thousands of feet tall, surging with Life-Death Qi.

Having learned from Wu Yan's defeat, Wu Lie imdiately adopted his true form, ready for a fierce battle.

"Kid, co on! Show your thods now!" Wu Lie challenged aggressively.

Lin Langtian stared coldly, sneering, "You think transforming into your true form will save you?"

Wu Lie's expression hardened. "Arrogant brat, try … huh?!"

He suddenly raised his head, shocked. Above him, an endless sea of green Yuan energy had appeared, covering the entire sky.

"Again, Yuan Tree energy?!" countless voices gasped below.

Boom!

The terrifying green ocean crashed down towards Wu Lie, who swiftly unleashed ten gigantic fiery crows from his mouth. The fiery crows collided violently with the green ocean, igniting sparks and temporarily blocking the fierce energy.

"Too naive!" Wu Lie sneered confidently.

However, Lin Langtian rely smiled coldly, his hands forming rapid seals.

Swoosh!

The green ocean transford into eight beams of green light, rging and smashing downwards, instantly obliterating the ten fiery crows. Wu Lie desperately unleashed his strongest attack, the Fiery Crow Claw, but the green beam was unstoppable.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sky and earth trembled violently. Wu Lie, battered and bloodied, retreated miserably.

"Your strength seems no better than Wu Yan's," Lin Langtian mocked.

Furious, Wu Lie shrank back to human form and suddenly unleashed an imnse black object from his sleeve.

"Great Universe Cover!"

An imnse black artifact instantly enveloped Lin Langtian, shocking the crowd.

"This...is actually the legendary ancient divine object, the Great Universe Cover!"
