Chapter 2633 - 2632: Retention

Little Jin’s massive body reached the protective shield with lightning speed, then circled around it for some distance.

After landing on a flat spot, Ling Feng stepped forward, arriving near the protective shield.

He discovered that this thing seemed not to be tangible but rather a fog-like entity.

However, when he reached out to touch it, his hand couldn’t penetrate through.

Ling Feng furrowed his brows and twitched the Chaos Sword.

There’s no need to use Blade of the Apocalypse or Kai Tian; if the Chaos Sword can’t break through, they’re useless anyway.

Ling Feng raised his sword and pierced into the black fog with a stab, as if hitting a ball of cotton, but the sword’s blade bent immediately after.

Seeing this, Ling Feng quickly withdrew the sword, not daring to let it break again.

He tried several times afterward, whether slashing or stabbing, but couldn’t break through the defense!

Ling Feng was speechless, his expression somewhat grim.

Then, all kinds of explosives and Five Elements Fruit were thrown at it, but the layer of shield remained untouched, extraordinarily resilient!

"I give up!"

Ling Feng was completely speechless; it seemed truly impossible to get inside!

After pondering for a while, he realized wasting time like this was not a solution, so he returned to the back of Little Jin and headed back.

Through Divine Sense, he soon located Mu Li’s camp and gradually descended to the ground.

The soldiers below seemed to have received notice, looking on curiously without much tension.

Ling Feng landed, and Mu Li emerged from his tent.

Their eyes met, and Ling Feng smiled: "You were right; I tried everything but couldn’t break through that defense!"

"The Demon Clan’s stuff always has some trick!"

Mu Li nodded and said, "Since you’ve returned, you must want to ask when this thing will disappear, right?"

"Exactly!"

Ling Feng nodded: "That demon child must be killed. I came with that purpose this time!"

"The Demon Clan has been deeply wounded by us, and they’re retreating to recover."

Mu Li said, then continued: "But rest assured, they’ll open this thing sooner or later and come back with vengeance!"

"Really?"

Ling Feng listened and then looked at him: "Was this situation already happening several times before?"

"Not just several times!"

Mu Li nodded: "From ancient times, the war between the Human Race and Demon Clan has always been a give-and-take, with neither side achieving constant victory. Once the Demon Clan is deeply wounded, they use this method to protect themselves!"

"And what about you?"

Ling Feng looked at him, puzzled.

"When our troops are exhausted, we also have corresponding protection measures, and after some rest, we fight them again!" Mu Li said.

Ling Feng listened in astonishment: "It’s been thousands of years like this?"

"Yes, I said thousands of years because that’s all I know, but according to the records, such wars seem to have persisted for tens of thousands of years!" Mu Li said.

"My word!"

Ling Feng hearing this exclaimed in Huaxia language.

For tens of thousands of years, the two sides have fought relentlessly, but in the end, neither has conquered the other, what is the point?

"Ling Feng, since you’re here to eliminate the Demon Clan, and the enemy of our enemy is a friend, why not stay?" Mu Li extended an olive branch to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "I’m not here to fight your war; once I eliminate the demon child, I don’t care about the rest of the Demon Clan!"

"It’s fine; you need to wait for that shield to fail anyway, right?"

Mu Li smiled and continued: "This will take some time; why not visit our Royal City in the meantime?"

Ling Feng hesitated a bit, then asked: "How far is the Royal City from here?"

"Not far. With your mount’s speed, you can reach it before nightfall." Mu Li said.

Ling Feng looked up at the sky, seeing it was only noon, meaning the distance was at least several thousand kilometers.

After pondering, he shook his head and said: "There’s no need for me to go; I’ll just stay here!"

"Is that so?"

Mu Li thought for a moment, just about to say something, but Ling Feng had already returned to Little Jin’s back: "First time here, I’d like to see what this Xuanxu Realm is like; see you later!"

Before finishing his sentence, Little Jin soared into the sky!

As Ling Feng ascended into the air, turning into a small black dot and disappeared, someone couldn’t help but ask: "General, should he not be coming back?"

"Hmm, such a pity!"

Mu Li gazed at the sky, his eyes thoughtful.

Flying through the air, Ling Feng looked at the vast land below, instructing Little Jin to fly at maximum speed, quickly seeing more landscapes.

The land of the Xuanxu Realm was vast, with mountains and plains, but human presence was extremely scarce. According to his inference, likely because this was near the battlefield, hence the result.

After all, both sides rise and fall; the Human Race forced the Demon Clan back to its nest, and no one could stay here permanently.

After all, the Demon Clan would return with a vengeance!

After flying some distance, Ling Feng straightforwardly asked Little Jin to ascend to high altitude, ready to see whether this place was a planet or an independent space.

But before flying fifty kilometers up, Little Jin said to him: "Master, we can’t go any higher!"

"What’s the matter?" Ling Feng asked.

"Going further leads to the Endless Void, not the universe!" Little Jin replied.

"Oh, then head back!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately understood; this place wasn’t a particular planet.

But whether the Xuanxu Realm was a space fragment or an independent space within something was unclear.

Returning near the ground, gazing at the massive protective shield in the distance, Ling Feng felt a wave of helplessness.

Subsequently, he commanded Little Jin to fly toward the mountains, eventually landing halfway up a mountain.

Having just arrived, there’s no need to go back now; Ling Feng planned to stay on this mountainside terrace for a few days and observe the situation before deciding.

By chance, if luck favored, that layer of shield might suddenly open!

After landing, Ling Feng put Little Jin back into the Jade Token Space, then settled down, habitually lighting a fire.

All alone made him somewhat bored, so he simply summoned Tian Lian.

Upon hearing it was due to boredom, Tian Lian paused briefly, speechless: "Master, didn’t you always encounter new women wherever you went before?"

"Uh, not every time, right?"

Ling Feng awkwardly smiled.

Tian Lian wasn’t joking; seeing his embarrassment, she remained silent, standing by asking: "Oh, what does the master wish to talk about?"

"Look over there, that thing has stumped me!" Ling Feng said.
