Chapter 236 - The Sky Barrier And The View Behind It.
Fire Phoenix City.
In the blink of an eye, four days have gone by, and the terrifying news regarding the sudden appearance of a True Dragon as well as the battle that took place above the sky near Fire Phoenix City swept through the Heaven Suppression Region overnight, startling countless people.
To many people, this news was even more terrifying and startling than when Ling Chen had killed Thunder Demi-God Ye.
One has to understand, it's been a hundred thousand years since mythical creatures like Dragon had disappeared from the world, some people even believed that they didn't exist and everything was just a lie.
Now, seeing a true dragon with their own eyes as well as witnessing his might, everyone became paralyzed for a long time.
Whether it was powerful warriors or regular mortals, they all secretly felt a cold chill and praised their fortune that they weren't alive a hundred thousand years ago when those mythical creatures were running amock.
These mythical creatures were simply too powerful and domineering. If a single one of them was able to annihilate three powerful martial Saints and the elite imperial guards of the Fire Phoenix place in just a few seconds, one could only imagine the damage and the destruction a hundred of them could cause, let alone a thousand.
They have never seen three powerful high-level Martial Saints get destroyed in one blow without even having the chance to fight back. Under this one dark fiery breath, Demon King Ning, Manager Chen, and Elder Gu became nothing but ashes in an instant. This was simply too terrifying.
Compared to those mythical creatures, the demon beasts in the Divine Demon Beast Region were child's play. From this fight alone, many people realized just how terrifying and powerful these ancient mythical creatures were.
Furthermore, while many people were expecting the Sun Demi-God to make a move to save his brother and even get revenge for him, no one saw her shadow.
Seeing how the Sun Demi-God remained silent even after her brother and her little nephew was brutally killed, everyone was silent.
This was how the world works. No matter how honorable you are, how high your status, how deep your background, in the face of absolute power, they were all meaningless, and as useless as a politician's promise or words.
...
Just like usual, the sun slowly rose into the sky after a long and cold night, announcing the dawn of a new day.
At this time in the morning, Fire Phoenix City, the capital of the Sun Demi-God's Domain, usually became rowdy with people coming and going out of the city. However, it was completely different today.
Not only the atmosphere of the city was extremely somber, but the city was also empty. It's been like that for almost four days.
After knowing that Ling Chen and the Red Devils currently resided in the city, many people evacuated overnight, afraid of offending these demon stars and suffered the same fate as the fourth prince and the young miss of the Gu family.
As for the people that chose to stay in the city, they quarantined themselves in their house as though there was a deadly plague in the city.
Even though it's been four days, the scene of the fourth Prince and the young miss of the Gu family turning into a bloody mist was still fresh in their minds.
While everyone was avoiding Ling Chen and his group like a plague, he was currently seating on the rooftop of the Fire Phoenix Palace while looking at the sky with a boring expression on his face.
It's already been four days since he came to Fire Phoenix City, yet that old man Yan hasn't come back yet. However, he wasn't worried. He knew that sooner or later he would come to him.
As Ling Chen was staring at the beautiful blue sky, a slight smile suddenly appeared on his face as he murmured." Why don't I go check out the so-called Sky barrier that prevented anyone from leaving this world."
Ever since he knew about the existence of the Sky barrier, Ling Chen was always curious about it. He always wanted to know how it looked like as well as how powerful it was.
Now that he had a lot of time to spare, he might as well go and check it out.
Swoosh!
Without wasting any time, Ling Chen suddenly turned into a streak of light and flew into the sky. Because his speed was too fast, he resembled a ball of golden fire skyrocketing into the sky.
Soon, Ling Chen rushed into the clouds and was dozens of kilometers from the ground. As he continued to fly higher and higher into the sky, the temperature was slowly decreasing.
At the same time, his speed was getting faster and faster as he moved up. Though the temperature was very low, it still didn't affect him as he enshrouded his body with a powerful layer of holy light energy.
Even after flying more than two hundred kilometers above the ground, he still hasn't seen the legendary sky barrier. However, from this height, he could see the entire Great Luo World which was like a giant blue globe. Aside from the three regions, the entire world was made up of water. There were also numerous small islands in the middle of the sea.
After flying for about fifteen to twenty more minutes, the temperature was started to increased and Ling Chen's surrounding was becoming warmer.
At this height, Ling Chen felt as though the energy True Qi energy around changed. It became wild and ferocious like an untamed beast.
Still, Ling Chen didn't stop as he continued to fly up into the sky. His main goal was to see the so-called Sky barrier not investigating the energy in the sky.
After flying for another ten minutes, Ling Chen finally saw a layer of translucent light in the sky which stretched out as far as the eye could see.
"The Sky Barrier!" Uttered Ling Chen as he was looking at the faintly discernible light in the sky.
As he continued to fly higher and higher, the translucent light became clearer and clearer. After a few seconds or so, Ling Chen finally made it to the so-called Sky Barrier.
It was like a blue light that surrounded the whole world like a snow globe. It was very beautiful.
Ling Chen was surprised when he saw it. Seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it from people were two different things. He could only imagine how was that person to be able to create such a large barrier that was able to cover the entire world.
Furthermore, the barrier was so powerful that even Demi-God experts weren't able to break through it.
Ling Chen tried to poke with his fingers and he felt as if he was poking a balloon or a rubber ball.
"Let's see how powerful you are that even a Demi-God expert could not break you." Uttered Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face.
Without wasting any time, he mustered all of his strength as he punched the sky barrier.
Bang!
Ling Chen's fist smashed into the sky barrier with enough force to flatten an entire giant mountain. The power behind that fist was so great that it could even cause a violent earthquake if he were to punch the ground.
Ling Chen didn't leave anything behind as he used his full strength to blast that damn barrier.
"Hong!"
The moment Ling Chen's fist smashed into the barrier, something amazing and unexpected happened.
The barrier somehow swallowed the force and power behind Ling Chen's punch like a sponge and spread it out throughout the whole barrier like a ripple of water.
Forget about blasting the barrier into kingdom come, Ling Chen wasn't even able to leave a dent on it.
"This..."
Ling Chen was shocked upon witnessing this scene. He knew just how strong his punch was, yet he wasn't even able to crack or even shake the barrier.
Nonetheless, he didn't give up. He used his dark true energy and light true Qi energy to coat his fist and punched the barrier again and again.
However, no matter how many times he tried, the barrier absorbed the force and power behind his attacks and spread it throughout the whole barrier like a ripple. Ling Chen felt as though he was punching a ball of cotton.
After twenty minutes of punching non-stop, Ling Chen finally stopped as he gave up.
He was breathing heavily as he was looking at the intact barrier with a helpless look on his face.
One has to understand, Ling Chen's current strength was far superior to any Demi-God rank expert, yet, he was still unable to leave a dent in the barrier despite using his full power.
"Damn, what kinda barrier is that, and how powerful is that guy to able to create such a powerful barrier." Murmured Ling Chen while looking at the intact barrier.
Although he wasn't able to see break the barrier, because the barrier was translucent, he was still able to see the view behind the barrier which was an endless dark void, just like the dark void within his lower dantian. The darkness spread as far as the eye can see.
Seeing that he was unable to see nothing but darkness with the naked eye, Ling Chen tried to use this left eye to zoom in into the darkness to see whether he could see something different.
To his surprise, he was able to see an oasis of miniature lights permeated the dark void like street lamps. It was truly beautiful. There were a lot of them. Some of them shone brightly while others were so faint and looked as though they could go out at any time.
While Ling Chen was observing the multitude of tiny lights in the dark void, Ling Lei's voice suddenly rang out within his mind." Divine Father, the Sun Demi-God said that the old man known as Old Yan is back."
