Chapter no.51 World of Madness
[ POV Change ]
In the devastated ruins of the once mighty Draconic Caves , two figures could be seen walking towards the a random direction .
" Lin , are you ok ? "
" Yep , perfectly fine ."
" Hmm "
Lin Lingtian flexed his biscep and said ," Don't worry beautiful , I am as fit as a fiddle ."
" What's a fiddle ? " Xiao Ning'er asked as she tilted her head to the side in confusion .
" Never mind 😅 " Lin Lingtian awkwardly laughed as he held a purple spherical gem in his hands .
This gem was found in Ling Ming's corpse and with the help of the appraisal skill he knew exactly what it was .
A bluish glow emitted out of the purple gem as they followed the intensity of the glow leading them both towards the place where the Dragon Pearl was kept .
" Lin ."
" Yeah ."
" I just realized , where are the Fanged Panda and Demon Horned Sheep ? "
In response to Xiao Ning'er's question , Lin Lingtian stopped and then looked back . Observing that all the other demon beasts in his army were busy carving out the bones , scales , meat , demon spirits from the corpses of all the dragons that they had killed while looking at them , Lin Lingtian realized that he had forgotten those two in the heat of war .
Closing his eyes , Lin Lingtian's consciousness floated inside his soul sea . Slowly floating towards the center , Lin Lingtian found the connection of the Mutated Fanged Panda and Mutated Demon Horned Sheep to be somewhat inactive with his second core ( Temporal Vine ) as red crimson threads adorned the soul shards of the two .
Touching the trunk of the Temporal Vine , Lin Lingtian tried to communicate with them .
' M....Master .....
Danger .....
De...vil...
Fo... rest .....'
That was all Lin Lingtian could get from the two as the their souls stopped responding .
The soul shards of the Mutated Fanged Panda and Mutated Demon Horned Sheep began to glow with an eriee crimson .
In Lin Lingtian's eyes , the crimson mass of threads made his skin crawl .
[ Appraisal level 9 ]
[ Item : Thread of Fate ]
[ Rank : Dharma ]
[ Description : A thread that forms a connection between two worlds that are completely opposite to one another ]
[ Disclaimer : Thread of Fate requires fuel " Souls " for activation ]
Lin Lingtian's eyes almost popped out of his socket when he read the system tab.
His mind began to race as he connected all the clues he had .
Devil Forest .
Thread of Fate .
Soul Fuel .
Other World .
From all of these clues , Lin Lingtian could only conclude that something was forming a connection with the other world in the Devil Forest .
Lin Lingtian looked at the thread of Fate as he slowly channeled a little bit of soul force out of curiousity .
The moment Lin Lingtian's soul force came into contact with the Thread of Fate , the soul force vanished .
Lin Lingtian absentmindedly stared at the threads of Fate . The moment Soul force , a type of energy came into contact with the thread , it was completely destroyed .
( ~ Sssss ~ )
Lin Lingtian's astral form took a deep breath . Infront of his own eyes , the law of energy conservation had been broken .
" So that's what the description meant , completely opposite ."
Lin Lingtian massaged his head , if someone was connecting this world with another then that meant that in the other world someone was also doing the same .
Shit .
An idea came into his mind as Lin Lingtian's eyes narrowed at the soul shards of the mutated Fanged Panda and Mutated Demonic Horned Sheep .
The crimson threads of fate were increasing in numbers as the souls of the two were getting smaller and smaller but a few parts of the souls were not covered by the crimson thread .
Lin Lingtian took a deep breath . He knew he had to do it .
" I will always remember you ."
Lin Lingtian said to the two soul shards as the entire soul sea began to shake .
Lin Lingtian raised his hand as jets of soul force of Attributeless and all Attributed rushed at the two soul shards .
The Soul Force combined to one single stream of soul force as balls of ice , earth , fire , wind , wood covered a bolt of purple lightning .
( ~ Whoosh ~ )
The stream of soul force entered into the soul shards as the threads of fate destroyed most of the soul force but to Lin Lingtian , the purpose of this attack had been accomplished .
[ Saint Ancestral Mountain Range - Devil Forest ]
Deep within the eriee and isolated forest , from an underground palace the blood freezing screams of the burning souls could be heard .

Within the black lotus were the souls of the living were slowly being corrupted by the power of madness , two souls of the Fanged Panda and Mutated Demon Horned Sheep smiled to one another as they begin to glow with a purple tint.
Zhu Long , the Emperor Demon Beast continued to refine the black lotus artifact when he suddenly opened his eyes .
" NO ! "
Darting towards the black lotus , Zhu Long could only look on as a wave of Heavenly Lightning channeled through the souls of the Fanged Panda and Mutated Demon Horned Sheep destroying all the souls that were to be used as fuel.
" ... " Zhu Long was dumbfounded , what had just happened ?
( ~ Crack ~ )
( ~ Whossh ~ )
The Souls of the Mutated Fanged Panda and Mutated Demon Horned Sheep cracked and then disintegrated into dust.
But from within the last few moments of their existence , Lin Lingtian had gotten one of the most valuable information as he looked on through the eyes of the Demon Horned Sheep .

[ Lin Lingtian's POV ]
A tear fell through my eye as I wipe it of my face .
This isn't the time to get emotional , he needed to remain calm and composed .
( ~ Breath in ~ )
( ~ Breath out ~ )
Lin Lingtian glanced at the two tabs Infront of him that he had captured using his appraisal skill
through the eye of the Demon Horned Sheep .

--------------------------------
( ~ Sigh ~ )
Lin Lingtian could only sigh . He has brought some time for them . At first Lin Lingtian was planning to just destroy the fuel " Souls " that power the threads of fate and then go to the Devil Forest and kill whoever was planning to make a connection between this world and the world of madness but after seeing his appraisal tabs , Lin Lingtian could only sigh . The enemy this time was much much stronger then what he had anticipated .
Forget about killing Zhu Long , Lin Lingtian had to poison Ling Ming just to fight him on an even playing field and now he has to fight a Heavenly Fate Rank that was planing to connect this world with another that had the ability to completely destroy soul force .
Lin Lingtian pinched his brows , he needed to get stronger to atleast survive if the worst case scenario ever occurs.
Lin Lingtian opened his eyes as an extremely serious expression formed on his face .
His mind rushed through everything he knew that could help get stronger.
" Lin "
Lin Lingtian was busy in his own thoughts as he tuned out the world around him .
" Lin ."
Xiao Ning'er again called out to him .
" LIN ."
Xiao Ning'er screamed at him as she gripped his hand .
" Huh ! "
Lin Lingtian turned towards Xiao Ning'er who had a worried expression on her beautiful face .
" Lin , what's wrong ? " Xiao Ning'er asked .
" I have some bad news ."
Xiao Ning'er gripped Lin Lingtian's hands as she seriously looked at him as if her eyes wanted to tell him that no matter what , she will be beside him every step of the way .
Lin Lingtian smiled warmly as he said ," So .....
