Cultivation Pet Shop

When the three of them saw Lin Fan looking at them this way, they couldn't help feeling a bad feeling.

Especially Angela who felt like her heart was ripping apart from seeing Lin Fan act this way.

All three of them raised their hands and gathered their life energy in preparation of what was to come. But at the same time, they all revealed encouraging looks as if they were cheering Lin Fan on.

Inside of Lin Fan, he was still struggling against this strange power.

As this strange power invaded him, resisting the void laws that he used to absorb it, he started seeing some strange things.

These were fragments of what seemed to be…memories…

These were very strange memories since Lin Fan could only see a bit of them and couldn't understand what the context was.

However, almost all of the memories involved…some form of slaughter.

It was like having the memory of being killed again and again, but the strange thing about it was that the one getting killed was a different person each time. Every memory that he saw was from the perspective of a different person who was being killed.

As for who was killing them…it was always a skeleton.

Lin Fan just couldn't understand how he was getting the memories of all these different people being killed by the same thing, especially since these memory fragments seemed to come from the skeleton that killed them.

However, these were the memory fragments that filled his mind and he couldn't deny it.

As these memory fragments filled his mind, his body started to move.

His hands came up as if he was about to attack someone and he slowly made his way forward as he looked at Angela, Yuki, and Momonga.

They all knew that this was a bad situation and it seemed like it was going to get worse, but Angela really couldn't raise her hand to hurt Lin Fan in this situation.

Even if she did normally hit Lin Fan, that was only because she was playing around with him.

To hit him for real…was something that she couldn't bear to do.

But luckily for her, Momonga and Yuki stepped up.

Yuki came in front of her and led her back while Momonga raised his hand to release his dark energy.

These wisps of dark energy created chains that quickly tied themselves to Lin Fan's limbs, stopping him from moving.

However, when it seemed like he had stopped Lin Fan, he couldn't help knitting his brows.

That was because…there were cracks that started forming in the dark energy chains around Lin Fan. The cracks that appeared were also slowly getting bigger and bigger, showing signs of the chain breaking at any moment.

Momonga couldn't help knitting his brows even deeper when he felt this.

He had been holding back since he didn't want to hurt Lin Fan and with the disparity in cultivation, it should have been easy for him to hold back Lin Fan.

But the chain breaking was a fact.

It was as if there was a strange energy that was coming from Lin Fan that was cracking the chains. Not to mention, this was a very familiar energy.

It was the same energy that he had felt from the skeletons before.

At this rate, it seemed like Lin Fan wouldn't be able to absorb the strange energy with his void laws. It even seemed like Lin Fan would be the one absorbed by the strange energy.

If this continued, they might even need to think about putting Lin Fan down…

But if they did, they would lose their connection with the master of the store…

This seemed like a very bad situation for them…

If it hadn't been for the instructions that they had been given, it wouldn't have ended like this.

The instructions that they had received from the master of the store was to observe Lin Fan as he made his way through this cultivation realm. That was why they hadn't stopped him earlier when he went to absorb the energy from the skeleton hands.

Momonga couldn't help raising his other hand, condensing another ball of dark energy. However, this dark energy was different from the one that he had used to condense the chains.

This dark energy gave off a much more sinister feeling, like the feeling of death.

It was as if wherever this ball of dark energy went, it would bring death with it.

That was because instead of being condensed from darkness laws, this ball was condensed with death laws.

Just one touch of this would definitely kill Lin Fan.

He had condensed it for a worst case scenario, but the hand that was holding the ball of death energy couldn't help shaking.

He was hesitating.

It was a lie to say that he didn't form a connection with Lin Fan during the time that he had spent in the store. So unless he was forced to, he wouldn't want to hurt Lin Fan who he considered a close friend.

At the same time, Angela saw what Momonga was planning and couldn't help revealing an anxious look.

She could have easily broken through Yuki holding her, but she knew that this wouldn't help them.

So she turned to Lin Fan and said in a clear voice, "Don't let it control you."

The moment that she said this, Lin Fan who had been struggling against the chains suddenly trembled before going still.

Seeing this, Angela said in a voice filled with trust, "You can do it."

This time, Lin Fan trembled again, but it wasn't to break through the chains.

It was as if there was some kind of internal struggle going on inside of him.

That was actually what was happening inside of Lin Fan.

Inside Lin Fan's mind, he had been bombarded by the fragmented memories that filled his mind.

As those fragmented memories filled his mind, he felt his sense of self fading and his consciousness disappearing. With all those fragmented memories filling him, he felt like he was losing control of himself.

It came very close to him completely losing control, but…

There was a clear voice that suddenly rang out through his mind.

Naturally it was Angela's voice.

The moment that Lin Fan heard this, his consciousness immediately came back and his will gathered, forcing back the fragmented memories that filled his mind.

However, those fragmented memories didn't stop assaulting his mind.

They kept trying to flood him with the various scenes that they contained, trying to do what they could to submerge him.

But with renewed willpower, Lin Fan wouldn't let himself be submerged by these memories.

Then there was a second call that filled his mind that renewed his willpower.

With this renewed willpower, he was able to push down all of the memories that filled his mind.

No matter how they tried assaulting him, they were isolated by his mind and couldn't affect him at all.

Instead, it became Lin Fan who was slowly going through the memories one by one.

It didn't take him long to sort through these memories since he didn't go through all of them.

Most of them were basically the same, so there wasn't much for him to go through.

The only one that caught his attention was a strange memory that was a bit different from the rest.

Once he finished sorting out all of these memories, he forcefully suppressed the strange energy that he had swallowed. Without these memories helping it, the strange power couldn't resist at all as Lin Fan's void laws swallowed it and made it his own.

The statue that appeared in his dantian was a very strange one.

It was a deformed statue that he couldn't really tell what it was, but when he activated it like with the rest of the statues, he could feel the strange power that came out of it.

The only difference was that he didn't know how to use this strange power that came out of this deformed statue.

It even seemed a bit out of his control, but he was able to restrain it when he wanted to.

Since the strange power had been suppressed, he pulled himself out of his sea of consciousness and back into the outside world.

When he came out, he saw the three of them looking at him with wary looks.

He raised his hands and said, "It's me, I'm fine now."

They had doubtful looks at first, but seeing that he wasn't going to do anything, they decided to relax their poses.

The main thing was that Momonga could no longer sense the strange energy that had been coming from him.

After confirming that it was him that was in control, Angela ran over to support him before checking his body.

Once she had confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him, she raised her fist and slammed it into his head for worrying her.

Lin Fan revealed an awkward smile and apologized for what he did.

Once she was done, it was Yuki's turn to beat Lin Fan for worrying them.

During this time, Momonga went over to the two shattered skeleton hands on the ground and started observing them.

He looked at them for a while before turning to Lin Fan to ask, "Can you use that strange energy that they have?"

Lin Fan nodded and raised his hand, gathering a ball of that strange energy.

It was an invisible energy, but they could tell that it was there from the energy fluctuations that came from it.

Momonga couldn't help looking closer at the strange energy, but he wasn't able to find anything from it.
