Chapter 1038: Chapter 1010 Barrier

Li Chen was pondering.

Since arriving in this place, he had been deep in thought.

"This wretched place..."

Standing before a gray, misty area, a faint trace of helplessness appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.

Indeed, he had now reached the legendary location of the Barrier. According to the Elf Queen Patricia, this gray, misty area should be the legendary Barrier.

However, as far as his eyes could see, all he could perceive was a vision resembling chaos, making it impossible to discern what was inside.

And this gray, misty region stretched from left to right to an unseeable boundary.

It was as if this was not some Barrier, but rather the end of the world.

Because here, aside from the gray mist, he couldn’t see anything else.

"Is this really the Barrier?" Li Chen incredulously looked at Patricia behind him and couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes." Patricia nodded: "Behind this Barrier is the passage leading to the Main World."

"Main World?" Li Chen was stunned.

Patricia’s expression was very calm: "The place where we are, at most, can only be considered a minor world. This world is not a planet, but a continent that accompanies the Main World’s continent, and we have known this for a long time."

Hearing this, Li Chen nodded, perhaps this is why this world is countless times larger than those Enchanted Worlds.

However, Li Chen did not notice the calm and certainty in Patricia’s tone.

To travel from the minor world to the Main World, one must break through this Barrier, but even the current Elf Race doesn’t have anyone capable of breaking through this Barrier to reach the Main World.

"And to break through this Barrier, must one have strength surpassing the Earth Level?" Li Chen hesitated for a moment, then asked.

Patricia nodded.

Li Chen looked at the gray, misty fog in front of him and tried to reach out a hand.

This time, Li Chen wasn’t alone; other than Patricia, Odelia, Daphne, and even Cherie had come along.

Seeing Li Chen’s actions, Patricia said nothing, but Odelia slowly shook her head and said: "It’s useless. I know your thoughts, but until your strength reaches the required level, it’s impossible for you to break through this Barrier."

Li Chen said nothing, because in his heart, he still held on to a sliver of hope.

"Perhaps..."

Perhaps I am different?

His right hand slowly touched the fog, and Li Chen felt as if his hand had been plunged into a meat grinder. The fog inside immediately began to react, with wind and sand swirling, attempting to grind the sudden intruder to pieces.

Li Chen wasn’t surprised because he knew that since the Elf Race all said so, this Barrier was certainly no simple matter.

Immediately, Li Chen covered his arm with a thick layer of True Qi.

The gray mist and Li Chen’s True Qi-protected right arm began to rub frantically, producing a scraping sound like sandpaper against metal.

Soon, Li Chen felt the True Qi attached to his arm being worn away layer by layer. Quickly, the True Qi on his arm was reduced to a thin layer, and it began to tear at his clothing, even his flesh and blood.

Li Chen’s face remained extremely calm, and under the shocked gazes of the others, he slowly retracted his bloodied arm that had been rubbed by the mist.

Yet in just a few breaths, the blood astonishingly stopped flowing and slowly retracted back into Li Chen’s body.

Looking at the gray mist in front of him, Li Chen’s eyes showed a complex expression.

He finally understood why they said it was impossible to break through the Barrier before reaching the Heavenly Level.

Because without the deep foundation of the Heavenly Level, perhaps it is impossible to escape this millstone-like Barrier.

Even with his current Black Rope Rank strength, which could rival Odelia in foundation, in the millstone-like fog, the True Qi could only last for a few breaths.

And that was just one hand; if the entire person entered, the consumption of True Qi would be even greater.

By his estimation, at full power, he might not be able to last a few minutes inside this Barrier.

And in those few minutes, could he break through this Barrier whose end is unknown?

Li Chen fell silent.

"Do you understand?" Patricia softly asked.

Li Chen nodded and stopped speaking.

Although Li Chen knew he might not be able to break through the Barrier, he had not given up in his heart.

He believed that he would certainly find another way.

"Though difficult, I still want to go back." Looking at the people behind him, Li Chen suddenly smiled slightly.

"You..."

"Even if the path through the Barrier is impassable, I will think of other ways," Li Chen squeezed his fist and said: "No matter what, I must go back! Because on the other side, someone is waiting for me!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, the others fell silent, not knowing what to say to him.

For many years in the minor world, some had also been unwilling to stay there and wanted to leave, but so many years had passed, and those who successfully left the minor world were still few and far between.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, a powerful being from the Main World once cultivated to the Earth Rank Boundless Peak here, but could never take the final step into the legendary Domain.

In madness, he stepped into the Barrier.

Since then, he never emerged again, whether he succeeded or died in the Barrier, becoming its nourishment, is unknown.

"You..." Patricia hesitated, seemingly making a decision, but just as she began to speak, a Wind Breaker sound suddenly came from the side.

"Queen!!"

With this Wind Breaker sound came a silhouette swiftly moving toward them.

All of them turned their heads to look, only to see an Elf Female Warrior cradling an arm, rapidly running toward them.

Li Chen, sharp-eyed, immediately noticed slight bloodstains on the Elf Female Warrior’s right arm, suggesting some injury.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing the solemn expression of the Elf Female Warrior, Patricia immediately asked.

"Something happened in the tribe! The Demon Clan sent people to attack us! Please return quickly!" the Elf Female Warrior urgently said.

"What?!" Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed in unison.

Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Perhaps an attack on the Elf Race had little to do with him, but the words of the Elf Female Warrior caught his attention.

"Demon Clan?"
