"It's actually the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle? This is the treasure of the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan, and it's also ranked thirty-sixth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking. To wield such a divine artifact, one would need more than a dozen experts at the Death Profound Stage..."

"Ancient Divine Object, these are extremely rare. Each one possesses unparalleled divine power."

"This Ao Xuan Crown Prince Ao Xuan did bring out a priceless treasure."

As soon as Ao Xuan finished speaking, many surprised voices spread around him, indicating that some powerful figures had heard of the treasure in Ao Xuan's possession.

Lin Langtian also stared with slight surprise at the white round needle in Ao Xuan's hand, which was filled with blue light. He could also sense a remarkable fluctuation from it, and he couldn't help but click his tongue. It truly lived up to its reputation as a powerful force no less than the Undying Sacred Whale Clan...

The so-called "Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle," though not as powerful as his Stillness Divine Tablet (after all, there's a difference of more than twenty ranks), was clearly no pushover either. It would be normal for it to suppress these Three Black Corpses for several days.

"Hehe, activating the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle requires a considerable amount of Yuan energy, which is why we can only rely on everyone..." Ao Xuan said with a smile.

Everyone smiled and nodded upon hearing this. They naturally understood that Ao Xuan did not want them to expend their own strength to deal with the Three Black Corpses, so he needed to borrow their help.

However, these powerful figures weren't bothered by this, since only Ao Xuan possessed such a treasure...

Lin Langtian watched this scene indifferently. Since Ao Xuan was willing to use this Ancient Divine Object to suppress the black corpse, he was happy to sit back and enjoy the benefits.

However, just as Lin Langtian was thinking this, he saw Ao Xuan's gaze directed at him, and that gaze had a slightly wicked smile.

"However, I can't activate such a divine object too easily. If it is activated, three people will need to lead the Three Black Corpses to the designated location. Otherwise, if the Three Black Corpses manage to escape, we won't have a good opportunity," Ao Xuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, many powerful figures' eyes narrowed slightly. This was a dangerous situation, and no one wanted to fight those extremely ruthless black corpses.

"There are currently Three Black Corpses. My Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan will be responsible for luring one, and I'm sure the Flame God Palace can handle one as well. But for the Three Black Corpses, we'll need one of our friends here to help lure it," Ao Xuan said with a smile.

The room fell silent. Tang Xinlian nodded noncommittally upon hearing this, not refusing, since the request was not unreasonable for the Flame God Palace.

However, no one spoke up for the Three Black Corpses, clearly no one wanted to take the initiative to get involved.

Ao Xuan was not surprised by this scene. Then, under Lin Langtian's indifferent gaze, his gaze turned to him.

"Gentlemen, before this, we also encountered a black corpse similar to them. At that time, the black corpse went to kill Brother Lin Langtian, but he managed to get rid of it. So I think that Brother Lin is the most suitable person to lure the Three Black Corpses into the trap."

Whoosh!

As soon as Ao Xuan finished speaking, almost instantly all eyes above the Black Cloud turned to Lin Langtian, who was not far away.

Those eyes were filled with surprise, clearly not expecting that Lin Langtian would actually escape with his life from a black corpse at the Half-step Death Profound Stage Perfection stage.

"Hehe, so Brother Lin is so powerful. Of course, this mission is definitely yours."

"Yes, we'll have to rely on Brother Lin a lot for this matter."

"I hope Brother Lin will not refuse."

Many powerful figures around them chuckled as their eyes flickered, some of them aware that there was something amiss between Lin Langtian and Ao Xuan.

But they didn't have time to care about these things. As long as they weren't allowed to confront those black corpses, anyone would do.

"That bastard!"

Mu Lingshan gritted her teeth, her big eyes filled with anger. It was clear that Ao Xuan was targeting them again.

Lin Langtian remained indifferent. Ao Xuan's methods were quite ruthless, and the current situation was practically forcing him to take on this dangerous task.

After all, the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle belongs to the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan, and it has the support of so many powerful figures present. If Lin Langtian were to object, he would likely become the target of everyone's criticism immediately.

At that time, Ao Xuan will incite everyone to attack him. Coincidentally, there are many powerful people here who covet the Token Key in Lin Langtian's hands.

In this world, there is never a shortage of people who would kick someone when they're down.

"Hehe, Brother Lin, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Ao Xuan smiled at Lin Langtian and said with a grin, he was actually hoping that Lin Langtian would get angry and object, so that he would be in an extremely awkward situation.

Many eyes were fixed on Lin Langtian, and many of them were ill-intentioned.

Lin Langtian seemed oblivious to the gazes around him. He simply looked at Ao Xuan, who had a malicious smile on his face, and after a moment, a smile also appeared on his face.

Then he nodded slowly.

"Let's do as Crown Prince says."

When Ao Xuan saw Lin Langtian nod, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He probably hadn't expected the latter to agree so readily.

"Hehe, Brother Lin really puts the overall situation first."

However, the astonishment quickly dissipated, and a smile returned to Ao Xuan's face, but that smile was filled with a chilling intent.

However, Lin Langtian ignored this and simply smiled at Ao Xuan, saying, "Then please, Crown Prince, activate the divine artifact."

Ao Xuan smiled faintly, raised his hand, and the white needle in his hand swept out with a dazzling light. Then, beams of light intertwined in mid-air, instantly transforming into a thousand feet in size.

However, this "Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle" is only in its physical form and has not yet been able to unleash its full power.

"Everyone, please channel your Yuan Power into the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle." Ao Xuan turned to the group of powerful figures and smiled.

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures nodded slightly, and then streams of boundless Yuan energy roared out, transforming into streaks that shot straight into the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle.

Buzz!

As this energy surged in, the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle suddenly burst forth with intense light, its powerful energy surging within it, and its originally somewhat illusory form began to rapidly solidify.

The magic needle of the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle is surrounded by countless ancient runes, seemingly possessing the power to suppress all things, and an astonishing energy fluctuation slowly emanates from it.

"As expected of Ancient Divine Object, this Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle is indeed quite wondrous."

Lin Langtian watched this scene, his eyes narrowing slightly. Compared to the extremely strange Stillness Divine Tablet, this Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle did indeed have some wondrous aspects.

As the divine artifact gradually activated, the three black corpses in front of the Devouring Hall seemed to sense the danger, and fluctuations appeared in their Black Qi- filled eye sockets.

"The divine artifact is activated; it's time to make a move." Ao Xuan smiled faintly upon seeing this.

As his voice fell, the Three Flood Dragon Generals of the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan and the middle-aged man behind Tang Xinlian of the Flame God Palace rose into the air, their powerful Yuan energy surging around them, with a faint black Death Qi emanating from them.

Clearly, both sides possess genuine strength comparable to those at the Death Profound Stage Grand Completion.

Seeing this, many people raised their eyebrows. These powerful forces were indeed well-founded. Such powerful experts at the Death Profound Stage were not to be summoned casually.

"Brother Lin." Ao Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Langtian with a smile.

Lin Langtian glanced at him indifferently, not bothering to exchange words. With a swift movement, he soared into the air. The Three Flood Dragon Generals and the middle-aged man looked at him but did not speak. Then, they burst forth, each rushing towards a black corpse.

Boom!

As the two sides became entangled with the two black corpses, extremely astonishing fluctuations of Yuan energy suddenly emanated from the sky. Several figures flashed past each other like lightning, and the ferocity of their battle was terrifying to behold.

However, in this exchange, everyone could see that the Three Flood Dragon Generals and the middle-aged man were almost at a disadvantage. They were only comparable to the Great Perfection of the Death Profound Stage Grand Completion. If they really fought, they would naturally be no match for the two Half-step Death Profound Stage black corpses.

However, their current task is not to defeat the black corpses, but simply to hold them off for a while.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Lin Langtian, who was rushing towards the Three Black Corpses. After all, the latter was only at the Half-step Death Profound Stage, and the difference between them was truly immense.

Lin Langtian ignored these gazes. He darted forward and appeared in front of the Three Black Corpses. Looking at the demonic patterns covering the latter's body, a look of solemnity appeared in his eyes. This thing was really not easy to deal with.

"Roar!"

When the black corpse saw someone coming to stop it, it showed no politeness whatsoever. A beast-like growl came from its mouth, and then a monstrous Black Qi surged forth, transforming into more than a dozen Black Chains that coiled around Lin Langtian like venomous snakes.

When Lin Langtian saw the black corpse attacking, his eyes narrowed, and the Crimson Sparrow Bone Wings unfolded on his back. At the same time, the Flame Furnace in his body was running at full power, and powerful surges of energy flowed into his limbs. Then, his wings suddenly flapped, and his body trembled.

Whoosh!

The Black Chains pierced through Lin Langtian's body with lightning speed, then tore it apart violently.

Wow!

When the crowd saw Lin Langtian being hit, there was an uproar. This kid couldn't even withstand a single move.

However, the uproar did not last long, because they soon saw the figure that had been pierced slowly disappear.

"Afterimage?"

Many people with exceptional eyesight narrowed their eyes and turned their heads abruptly. They saw a figure appear a thousand feet away, none other than Lin Langtian.

"Such speed!"

Some powerful figures exchanged glances, a hint of shock flashing in their eyes. Even they hadn't been able to detect how Lin Langtian had retreated; his speed was truly astonishing.

The smile on Ao Xuan's face froze for a moment because of this scene, and then a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. He could sense that Lin Langtian's strength was somewhat beyond his imagination.

Upon seeing this scene, Tang Xinlian's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and a sense of interest welled up in her heart.

According to the Flame God Palace's intelligence, this Lin Langtian is said to have risen from a humble family in a Low-level Dynasty in the Eastern Xuan Region. Even the renowned Fire Fairy is extremely curious about his achievements...

"Boom!"

In the sky, the black corpse suddenly shot out, its towering Black Qi surging, chasing after Lin Langtian with lightning speed.

Faced with the black corpse's pursuit, Lin Langtian did not engage in combat at all. Instead, the Crimson Sparrow Bone Wings on his back gradually extended, swelling to several dozen feet in length from a distance.

The entire wing-body was more than ten times larger than Lin Langtian's, making it extremely visually striking.

As the Crimson Sparrow Bone Wings underwent this transformation, Lin Langtian's speed also increased to a formidable level, eventually even keeping pace with the black corpse.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, speed is clearly a weakness of this black corpse.

With Lin Langtian's cunning retreat, for a time, there were three battlefields in the sky. Although Lin Langtian seemed to be in danger, he never actually fought the black corpse once from beginning to end.

In contrast, the Three Flood Dragon Generals and the Death Profound Stage Grand Completion expert from the Flame God Palace were forced into an extremely sorry state, facing numerous dangers.

This situation was clearly unexpected by many people. No one expected that Lin Langtian would be able to live more comfortably in the hands of the Black Corpse than the two powerful figures on the other side.

During this continuous delay, the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle in the sky gradually revealed its powerful might.

As Ao Xuan watched the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle gradually take shape, his eyes darkened considerably. It seemed that this was not the scene he most wanted to see.

"Crown Prince Ao Xuan, shouldn't the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle be almost ready?"

Just as Ao Xuan was intentionally delaying the time, Tang Xinlian suddenly spoke up. As the Fire Fairy of the Chaotic Demon Sea, she was naturally not just a pretty face, and she also vaguely saw through Ao Xuan's little scheme.

Perhaps for the sake of justice, or perhaps out of interest in Lin Langtian, Tang Xinlian did not allow Ao Xuan to make any underhanded moves under her nose.

Upon hearing Tang Xinlian's words and under the scrutiny of the surrounding experts, Ao Xuan's lips twitched. He could only suppress his anger and nod with a smile. With a change in his hand seals, the speed at which the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle- Stabilizing Needle was formed suddenly accelerated.

"Gentlemen, please guide the black corpse into the light circle beneath the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle!" Ao Xuan shouted.

Hearing the shout, the Three Flood Dragon Generals, who were already in a sorry state, and the middle-aged man hurriedly rushed towards the circle of light. As they passed through the circle of light, the two black corpses also rushed into it.

"Buzz!"

Just as the two black corpses rushed into the circle of light, two straight beams of light suddenly shot out from the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle, and then spread out along the circle of light like lightning.

The light beam extended, and finally, as the Three Flood Dragon Generals and the middle-aged man rushed out of the light circle, it suddenly merged, transforming into a hundred-foot-long pillar of light, within which the two black corpses were sealed.

Call out!

While the two black corpses were sealed off, Lin Langtian led one of the black corpses and suddenly rushed into the first circle of light.

Upon seeing this, a chilling glint flashed in Ao Xuan's eyes. He changed his hand seal, and the massive, thousand-foot-long Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle descended with an incomparably fierce force.

Wow!

A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd, clearly indicating that Ao Xuan intended to suppress, and even eliminate, both Lin Langtian and the black corpse...
