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

Chapter 179: Devouring Beast Crystals

Boom!

Night fell upon the mountains, and the ground trembled. A ferocious, overpowering energy radiated from all directions, eventually encircling the entire encampment. Under the watchful, anxious eyes of everyone present, the crimson mass of the beast horde finally surged forward, visible in the firelight.

"Roar!"

The tension in the air was palpable, and even the very atmosphere seemed to freeze. But that eerie silence was soon shattered by a relentless chorus of vicious roars that echoed through the night.

Thud!

The endless wave of beasts charged forward, their sole target being the human camps scattered across the mountains.

"Prepare the defenses! The beast horde is here!"

Screams of alarm and the piercing sound of warning horns reverberated across the mountains as strong surges of Yuan energy erupted in response. Everyone knew the dire consequences of facing a beast horde in the wild, but at this moment, they had no other choice.

"Tang Xuan, hold the northern side. Liu Xuan, take the east, I'll take the west, and Brother Langtian, please handle the beasts coming from the south!" Mo Tie's face was grave as he shouted out orders.

Lin Langtian nodded, seeing the logic of this arrangement. With a swift move, he led the Flame Alliance members to the southern edge of the camp. He quickly gave Lin Dong and the others instructions for the defense, and soon enough, a thunderous rumbling approached.

"They're here!"

In the next moment, the beast horde surged forward, grotesque and overwhelming, bringing a foul stench as they bore down on the camp.

Boom!

As the beast horde slammed into the encampment, many hearts skipped a beat in fear.

"Attack!"

Lin Langtian's calm voice rang out. Instantly, all the prepared attacks from the Flame Alliance members rained down like a storm, striking the charging beasts. The front lines were quickly cleared, but this hardly made a dent in the seemingly endless beast horde. Before anyone could rejoice, an even larger wave of beasts closed in.

It was a brutal battle. The sheer number of crimson-eyed beasts seemed to press down on everyone, making even the act of breathing feel heavy and stifling, and some began to lose themselves to the chaos.

Boom! Boom!

Martial arts techniques and energy surged forward, colliding with the snarling beasts in brutal clashes. Blood soaked the mountainside, and pained cries rang out constantly.

Lin Langtian's expression turned steely as he noticed injuries among his members under the relentless assault of the beast horde.

"All injured members, fall back and rest. Everyone else, hold the line!" he commanded. While this beast horde posed a serious threat, it was also a chance for the Flame Alliance to hone their skills, so Lin Langtian held back from intervening right away.

With Lin Dong and Mo Ling leading, the Flame Alliance members gradually adapted to the brutal rhythm of battle, eventually fortifying the southern side of the camp to the point where they could even ease the pressure on other fronts. Lin Langtian nodded approvingly at the sight.

The Flame Alliance was to be a sword in his hand, not a burden he constantly had to shield. Otherwise, there would be no point in its existence.

Boom!

Just as the camp began to stabilize, the beast horde suddenly parted, creating a path. Out of the darkness lumbered four monstrous beasts, each exuding a fierce, ancient energy.

Thud!

The earth shook under the steps of these beasts, and many paled at the sight of them. Each of these creatures radiated an aura comparable to a half-step Nirvana stage warrior.

Woo! Woo!

Shrill alarm bells sounded through the mountains, sending chills down everyone's spine. Just as they braced themselves for the worst, a figure shot out from the camp, appearing above the four half-step Nirvana beasts.

"It's the Flame Alliance's master!"

Gasps rang out as people realized Lin Langtian had charged out alone. Though he had the reputation of killing Jin Mu with a single blow, this was still a dangerously arrogant move.

Even Mo Tie and his companions stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Unbothered by their shock, Lin Langtian moved swiftly, leaving only a streak of green smoke as he appeared over the four beasts.

"Holy Elephant Heaven-Crashing Strike!"

A deep, resonant shout echoed through the air as a massive, radiant elephant appeared, exuding an aura of devastating power. It barreled into the four beasts with explosive force.

Boom!

The ground seemed to shake as the four monstrous beasts were blasted backward, tumbling through the beast horde and crushing any unfortunate creatures in their path.

Whish!

Before they could recover, a flash of light ripped through the air. A blazing spear expanded in Lin Langtian's hands, its sharp edge piercing the heads of the four beasts with the force of a rocket.

A terrible shriek filled the night as the massive bodies of the beasts were pierced. The entire camp turned to witness the scene, and even the nearby camps looked on in shock.

Under everyone's stunned gaze, Lin Langtian's spear emitted a blaze of red flames, causing the four beasts' heads to explode in a gruesome burst. Four glowing orbs shot out from their remains, landing directly in his palm.

Each orb was a crimson beast crystal about the size of a fist, emitting a faint red glow and radiating a rich Nirvana Qi.

"Siphon!"

A satisfied smile tugged at Lin Langtian's lips. With a swift grip, he channeled the power of his Devouring Ancestral Symbol, pulling the Nirvana Qi from the crystals.

As the potent Nirvana Qi surged through him, Lin Langtian felt his newly formed Nirvana Qi Reserve swell, taking on a fierce, fiery red hue.

His eyes lit up. He had just completed the Nirvana Qi Reserve technique, and now he was immediately gifted with such abundant energy to feed it.

Sensing the dozens of powerful auras hidden within the beast horde, Lin Langtian's lips curved into a smile.

This beast horde was not only a trial for the Flame Alliance; it was also an unexpected bounty for him. So many powerful beast crystals, practically delivered to him… Enough to let his Nirvana Qi Reserve feast to its heart's content.
