Chapter 462: Part 2

Lin Sheng calmly held the giant blade and quickly absorbed the holy power he had left on the blade for security.

In order to prevent other beings from touching this treasure, Lin Sheng had infused the surface of the blade with a concentrated dose of holy power to better isolate its aura.

At the same time, the concentrated holy power could also protect the treasure at the same time.

If there was someone who wanted to take the blade away, the person would be immediately detected by Lin Sheng and tracked.

Unless the other party was able to dispel the concentrated holy power on the blade.

However, if such an adversary were to appear, wouldn’t it be easier for them to barge right in to seize it rather than stealing it?

Lin Sheng dispersed the holy power on the surface of the blade as he quietly looked at the Dark Wheel formed by the fusion of the three fragments.

*Clack.*

A sudden crack rang out.

The giant blade in his hand suddenly cracked and fell into the ground before melting and disintegrating.

It was just like an ice cream dissolved under the sunlight, with the dissolving being countless of times faster.

Lin Sheng did not even manage to react as he saw the blade in his hand disintegrating and falling on the ground before becoming a black viscous liquid without a sound.

In a blur, he even heard the faint humming of insects and the rustling of raindrops against the leaves.

The sound very quickly became the sound of waves crashing on the reef.

A large amount of knowledge and information was turned into a seemingly tangible black smole, as they evaporated from the black viscous liquid at Lin Sheng’s foot.

His entire body was soon surrounded by the black smoke containing countless sounds of knowledge and information.

Time seemed to slow down at that very moment.

As countless of knowledge about Darkspirit powers poured quickly into his mind.

It was a wondrous feeling.

Rather than simply stuffing a boatload of knowledge into Lin Sheng’s mind, the process was instead through a complete scenario, a method that was more general and vague yet complete, allowing him to clearly understand the root of the Darkspirit powers.

“Dark…”

A hazy female voice murmured in Lin Sheng’s ear.

“Dark…

“Dark…”

The voice kept repeating itself.

Just like hypnosis, Lin Sheng’s mind soon felt drowsy.

He slowly closed his eyes, as a massive gray wheel slowly appeared from the darkness before him.

The wheel was like a massive gearwheel, with four inlays on the edge.

Soon, each other inlayed objects appeared in their slots.

One of them was the black crystal column.

Another was the white bone chip…

And another one was the crystal orb…

While the final one was empty.

*Creaaakk…*

The giant wheel turned slowly, but due to a missing inlay, it let out a creak seemingly being overwhelmed and breaking down.

It was as if a missing inlay caused the entire giant wheel to not be able to rotate smoothly.

Lin Sheng watched the giant wheel and saw countless intricate patterns of flora and fauna, mountains, and rivers by the edge of the wheel, and on the surface were countless of words that crawled about like bugs.

Rather than a wheel, it was more like a round mysterious treasure.

Lin Sheng opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

Before he could recover, a small mouth suddenly opened in the center of the great wheel, as three streams of blood-like current flowed out of it without a sound.

With a splash, the blood streams quickly got close and circled around Lin Sheng before entering his chest.

Three separate blood streams left three different tiny patterns on Lin Sheng’s chest.

The three patterns then formed into a complex circular wheel.

Lin Sheng opened his eyes, and unsummoned his armor as he pulled open his cloth and looked down at his chest.

Three blood-red marks appeared on his chest.

The three marks had combined together and looked just like a puzzle that was still missing a piece. Upon completing it, it would be a red circle that would have covered the entirety of his chest.

At the heart of the circle was an eye-like pattern. The pattern constantly let out a faint gray glow towards its surrounding as if it was a living thing.

Countless of symbols and text patterns could be seen flowing within the light.

Lin Sheng look at his hand, the blade was no longer there, neither was the black viscous puddle by his leg.

The so-called Dark Wheel seemed to have completely entered his body.

He closed his eyes and felt a large amount of information that had just flowed into his mind.

“So this is the so-called Dark Wheel… rather than a Dark Wheel… it’s more like a forbidden tome.”

The Dark Wheel was a joint creation by 88 of the most powerful Darkspirits during their heyday.

At that time, the Darkspirits had no innate abilities.

They only had some unique physical structure and did not have any other significant differences.

Ever since the superior Darkspirits created this object, though, they had used it through some mysterous means to force the Darkspirits to become a group of people with powerful innate abilities.

This treasure was not so much a treasure in itself, rather it was the consolidated essence used by the Darkspirits to breakthrough the mortal limitations of their people, and refined their bloodlines.

It was the greatest creation ever made by the most powerful of Darkspirits in order to break through the limitations of their blood and kind.

Correspondingly, mastering the Dark Wheel meant did not mean that one would totally understand how to unleash all of the Darkspirit powers.

Rather, the person mastering it would gain the 88 protective wards blessed by the superior Darkspirits.

“Eighty-eight wards…” Lin Sheng’s eyes widened as he held his hand out and gently grasping it.

He could feel a wondrous power, much like a force field surrounding his body.

The force field had dozens of different auras with different powers within it.

Such power was like a giant snake hiding in his shadows, striking when needed. “Eighty-eight different wards, eighty-eight different abilities, and they all can be categorized into four types.”

Lin Sheng started to classify based on the information in his mind.

“First, the Wheel of Existence that strengthens oneself.

“Second, the Wheel of Woe that weakens your foes.

“Third, the free-running Wheel of Motion.

“Fourth…”

Lin Sheng’s brow suddenly furrowed.

“The fourth piece is incomplete… Surely enough, only after collecting the last fragment that I will be able to get the final, complete power.

“Of the eighty-eight wards, I have already gotten about seventy from the first three fragments. So only a few final wards are missing, and it seems like the few missing ones are probably the most important few.”

Lin Sheng was now clear.

He looked around him and did not immediately test out the powers of the wards.

Rather, he quickly walked out of the inner hall, and out of the Darkspirit Palace amidst the bows of many Darkspirits.

He then stepped through the Darkspirit portal where he first got the black crystal column.

*Hiss…*

The heavens turned, and just as Lin Sheng recovered from the daze of the teleportation, a pale flame rushed towards him.

Before he could react, a gray light appeared naturally out of his body, and firmly blocked the gush of flames.

Lin Sheng felt his chest to a little warm and looked down at the opened collar.

The red wheel pattern on his chest, was in a much clearer shade of red now.
