Chapter 1470 1470: Breaking the space

Even as he moved back, he noticed that the distance between him and the meteors was decreasing.

The meteors were much faster than him.

”I can’t avoid them. But they’re too small to even destroy to protect myself. What can I do? Teleport? No, that would be using my Law. It’ll be risky,” Long Chen shook his head, refusing his own suggestion.

”Wait! I have that as well!” He exclaimed, remembering he had another item that he had recieved from the Ancient Beast Temple. When he robbed the place of all the treasures and herbs, he had noticed

Long Chen pulled out a shield from his storage ring. The beautiful flaming red shield had a dragon engraved on it. The dragon seemed to be bringing in blazing hot flames.

The shield wasn’t thick. In fact, it was so thin and light that most would’ve doubled if it was even able to protect anything.

However, Long Chen placed his faith on the shield to protect himself against the meteors. Even though it looked weak, he had found it in the Ancient Temple.

He placed the human sized shield before him and hid behind the shield.

The shield only protected him from the projectiles that were coming towards him and nothing more. It didn’t provide him with a barrier around his body. He still had to resist the chaotic energy around his body which was depleting had energy.

Boom~

The sharp projectiles landed on the shield of Long Chen, bombarding the shield like it was only obstruction standing in their path.

The impact of the bombardment was enough to slowly push Long Chen back. Despite being pushed back and feeling the pain in his arms, Long Chen didn’t release the shield. He just kept pushing ahead as much as he could.

The meteors kept passing him after the initial impact but the belt of the meteors was so long that their end wasn’t at sight.

The bombardment continued for over an hour. Even Long Chen was starting to wonder if there was an end to these meteors or was he just wasting his time for nothing in resisting them.

He looked back at the meteors that had moved past him. “I can’t even go back now. I’m trapped in this field. I must hold on but it’s getting hard.”

His skin has started turning pale. Scratches had started appearing on his skin as the barrier around his body kept getting weaker. Some of his clothes had also burnt to some extent.

He wanted to peek his head out to see if there was an end to the meteroes. However, there were so many meteors that he could’ve even done that without getting hit and being heavily injured.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes while reinforcing the barrier around his body to protect himself as much as he could. He was really starting to miss his laws which could’ve helped him a lot in this situation.

After clashing with the meteors for so long, even the shield was starting to weaken.

Long Chen had prepared a contingency for the moment his shield broke. Even though he didn’t have another strong shield along with this, he had prepared to bring out a slightly weaker one.

Fortunately, he didn’t need to do it. Soon, the assault of the meteors stopped.

After silence lasted for some time, he peeked his head out and looked ahead. He came to see no meteors before him.

Letting out a sigh of relief, he kept the shield back. He still didn’t remove his barrier though. The meteors had stopped but the assault of space was still going on in full force.

Long Chen observed the colorful spatial energy which was corroding his barrier. He sighed in disappointment.

”Like this, I’ll be out of energy within a day at best.”

”I must get out of here at any cost before I die!”

He pulled out the King’s Sword. Keeping the Sword in one hand, he brought an Energy Stone out and kept it in his left hand.

He started drawing the energy from the stone to replenish some of his energy to make sure that he could last as long as possible.

Taking a deep breath, he prepared to attack. Choosing a spot, Long Chen slashed.

A powerful arc of energy left his sword, flying to space. However, as the space was vast and immaterial, the attack didn’t land anywhere and just kept moving ahead.

”Wait… This space isn’t a wall! How can I even hit it?”

He attacked again, but it was the same.

”How can I do it?” Long Chen wondered about the same question again and again. He had no idea on how to solve this problem and he remembered the words of Long Tian.

That guy had said that Long Chen needed to attack the same place again and again. He didn’t know how it was going to work, but he chose to trust Long Tian and attacked the same place again and again.

”This is never going to work.”

After attacking tens of times and seeing no change, he finally started to doubt this strategy.

”Long Tian! This isn’t going to work. You should’ve told me a different strategy!” Long Chen exclaimed. “Something that could truly work.”

He swung his Sword once again. The attack this time was the same. It followed the same trajectory. It moved in the same direction. However, something else happened this time.

Even though the attack also moved like there was no obstruction in the middle, as it passed a certain spot, Long Chen felt like he noticed a small Spatial Crack developing there.

The spatial crack was so small that it didn’t last even a single second before it healed. However, that small second was itself for Long Chen to feel something.

A smile formed on his lips. Even though he wasn’t close to breaking the space, at least he knew that he was on the right track, just as he was about to lose hope.

He raised his sword once again and started attacking.

….

Present day~

Long Chen found himself inside a cage, moving inside a carriage. Strange people were surrounding him. The people didn’t look much different than ordinary humans. The only difference was that they all had sharp claws instead of hands.

Noticing their hands, he understood he was like a prisoner.

’When I shattered the space and came out, I must’ve lost my consciousness. The last thing I remember is my head hitting something. These people must’ve found me,” Long Chen said, shaking his head.
