Chapter 452: Fragment: Part 3
Lin Sheng thought for a moment and decided not to waste his time . Looking back, he motioned Djall Demonhand and the head of the sorcerers .
“I will go by myself . You all keep your eyes peeled . ”
“Aye, Lord, at your service . ”
The two replied in unison . Lin Sheng nodded . Armor of Dawn appeared on his body, and then a dark-energy crystal shield, then semi-dragonized body with dragon scales on . This was Lin Sheng’s ultimate defensive ability .
Armor of Dawn on the outside would take the first hit from any attacks . The middle layer of the dark-energy crystal shield was a buffering structure that could isolate all types of shock-wave attacks . The innermost layer of dragon scales and the dragonized body of Rock Dragon would be the last line of defense . It was for the enemy who could break through all his defenses and thought victory was in sight, only to find inside a layer even nastier than the Armor of Dawn . Just thinking of their frustration and hopelessness was making Lin Sheng laugh .
“It’s time to check how good my triple-level defense system is . ”

Draped in heavy white armor, Lin Sheng looked calm as he strode into the Darkspirit Gate . As soon as he passed through the gate, the surroundings changed . He found himself in a vast plain burning with a white flame . Ground fire pillars were everywhere, spurting out from the cracks in the ground up to tens of meters in the air, forming a strange scenery on the land . What surprised Lin Sheng more was the temperature of these white fire pillars . They were not high-temperature fire but extremely cold flame that could cause frostbite to any living things .
“How could flame exist in subzero-temperature form?” What he saw was a big blow to his understanding of science . He looked around the teleporting station of the Darkspirit Gate . Bodies of the stitched-monster dark spirits were everywhere . The extreme temperature had suppressed the vitality of their bodies and frozen them in place before they could make it out of the place . But it was also because their bodies blocked the white sparks in the surroundings, it gave the two surviving stitched monsters the chance to escape back to the other side .
Right ahead of the bodies of the stitched monsters, a small column of white flame spurted out from the ground, shooting up a dozen meters into the air and a few meters across . Sparks were flying everywhere . But Lin Sheng let the white sparks drop onto him . As soon as the sparks hit his armor, they vaporized in an instant . It was the powerful holy power that was driving away the sub-zero-degree flame . Lin Sheng replenished his exhausted holy power and checked his exhaustion rate .
“Just about what I estimated before . The damage rate of the flame is about the level of Five Wing . That’s at a hyperbole scale…”
He scanned his eyes over the plains . There was no end to the land . All he could see were white sparks dancing around . When even these little sparks could do such damage, the last thing in Lin Sheng’s mind was to get hit by the fire column in the face .

“Ordinary living creatures would have found it hard to survive here . Not unless they are of Six-Wing in survival strength . ”
After some lamenting and awing himself with nature’s power, he started to study the distribution pattern of the fire columns and work out a safe path . He had also sensed an unexplained perturbation in the air . This perturbation was precisely what he had read about in the ancient record . It was a special sign that told him the thing existed . Earlier, in the Dragon’s Borrow across the dark spirit cave, the feeling was not as strong . But here, he could almost vividly see the perturbation .
Lin Sheng had quickly found a route . He moved, one step at a time, very unhurriedly maneuvering forward to avoid the fire columns . He would stop every time after moving some distance, observing the distribution pattern of the fire columns ahead, then moved again . Some sections had dense fire columns . He had to get so close to them that if he was not careful, he would be game over . Sometimes he had to walk past a section where the fire columns would change their mind and decided to spurt from other spots . Lin Sheng had a close call when a two-meter-across fire column spurted out of nowhere, barely scraping his back . The Armor of Dawn protected him, vaporizing a good part of the fire as his holy power reacted with the white flame . But that one hit only, Lin Sheng felt, had also vaporized one-tenth of his holy power reserve . It was just a size-S ground fire column . He could not imagine what would happen had it been a dozen-meter-across fire column . He could have been dead or at least severely injured .
“I have always been the one who uses size to scare off an enemy . This time, I did not expect things could be reversed . ” It was like getting a taste of his own medicine .
He moved, stopped, then moved again . Soon, following his soul’s perception, he was moving in the direction of the perturbation .

A day had passed . And then another day . With such a level of endurance, Lin Sheng’s physique had shown his extrhuman characteristics; going without food and water for days was nothing to him . In fact, he could stop eating and keep moving for a month or so and would still not bat an eye . Just that the monotonous scenery of the plains was starting to bore him . There were no living things here . Just the world’s worst-tempered and unpredictable subzero-temperature fire columns kept him company . This place was not for any form of living things .
On the tenth day, Lin Sheng was still making his way toward the perturbation as what his soul had perceived . At last, he saw the place with the signature perturbation that he had seen in an ancient record of the Fairy Empire . It was a black crystal column shrouded in white flame .
The crystal column stood on a black rocky surface, growing together with a large stone column, showering in the white ground fire . It looked inconspicuous, void of any unique features . Had Lin Sheng not read about it in the ancient record and known the way to look for it, he might have returned empty-handed, not knowing the importance of this crystal column .
The dull-looking crystal column looked like another stone column on the outside, the kind which he would not pick up from the ground if he stumbled upon one . But now, he was staring at it like a hungry dog to a bone .
The search for the Dark Wheel, Lin Sheng thought, was just a legend in the ancient records . He was with the mindset of trying his luck earlier and paying a little more attention to the special perturbation mentioned in the ancient record .
What he did not realize was that because of the amount of soul power he had devoured and the uniqueness of his soul, he had a very sensitive perception . But from the ancient record of the Fairy Empire, he knew he had a very special soul . Had any other people or creature absorbed soul fragments in the dreams as he did, their souls would have broken up, they would have lost themselves and went insane . Or they could be devoured by the powerful consciousness of the soul fragments and becoming another person and resurrected in this world .
But none of these two scenarios happened to Lin Sheng . His soul was tough . Each absorption of soul fragments was making him stronger . His soul became massive and broad . The thousands of soul fragments, memories and personality had equipped him with a complicated yet comprehensive perception ability . It was this ability that detected the unique perturbation .
