Chapter 2176: 2176 Chapter 2176: Why Refine the Dragon Ball In the center of the star system, surrounded by four planets, a barrier shimmered brightly. This barrier belonging to the Demon Clan wasn’t large, but it emitted an aura that made even Lin Moyu feel shocked. "This barrier was personally set up by the Demon Lord." Lin Moyu instinctively made this judgment. In the entire Demon Clan, apart from the Demon Lord, no one could set up a barrier of this level. Besides the Demon Lord, perhaps only those powerful demons from ancient times could set up such a barrier. Lin Moyu carefully examined the barrier, sensing its aura, and roughly understood its purpose. The barrier’s function was to block outsiders, not allowing anyone to enter. The whole scene became strange. In the core area of the Demon Clan, at the center of a seemingly ordinary star system, why set up such a barrier? What did the Demon Lord want to hide? Could the Dragon Ball be inside the barrier? Reasoning from the barrier, Lin Moyu’s gaze swept across the starry sky, finally discovering the unusual nature of the entire star system. This star system wasn’t naturally formed; it had obvious signs of artificial processing. The two suns not only provided heat for the four planets but also supplied energy for the barrier. As long as the suns existed, the barrier’s energy would be endless, making it impossible to break through by force. Lin Moyu judged that even if a Saint came, it would take a great effort to force their way in. At the same time, forcibly attacking the barrier would trigger a chain reaction, leading to the direct destruction of the suns. By then, the Demon Lord would naturally know that something had happened to the barrier he set up. "I wonder if this barrier can stop me!" Some things need to be tried to know, but naturally, one shouldn’t try blindly. Lin Moyu wouldn’t do anything reckless. He first carefully searched the star system over and over, spending three days repeatedly searching to confirm there was no trace of the Dragon Ball. Finally, he turned his attention back to the barrier. Since it couldn’t be found in the star system, it could only be inside the barrier. The Dragon Seeking Ball wouldn’t be wrong. Lin Moyu approached the barrier, carefully examining it repeatedly with his Soul Eye. The omnipresent law lines could also penetrate the barrier. In theory, now that he had merged with the laws, he should also be able to enter the barrier. But entering was one thing, doing so silently was another matter. Lin Moyu continuously sensed the changes between the inside and outside of the barrier through the law lines. Gradually, a smile appeared on his lips. The laws did change after entering the barrier, just like light being refracted when entering water. This change wasn’t strong, but it was enough to make him temporarily separate from the laws. Even if only for an instant, the barrier would detect his presence. The solution was simple. One was to strengthen his fusion with the laws, never separating from them. The second was to deceive the barrier, making it unable to detect him. With the laws changing, it was almost impossible not to separate from them. The first method was abandoned; he could only choose the second. The method to deceive the barrier was to use space-time power, temporarily entering another space-time, separating from the real world. With his current mastery of space-time power, Lin Moyu was confident he could maintain that special state for one second. One second was enough for him to do many things, including re-merging with the laws. Having made up his mind, Lin Moyu immediately took action. Invisible space-time power flowed down, enveloping his entire body. Lin Moyu took a step forward, entering the barrier. The laws changed, with subtle differences between the laws inside and outside the barrier. Lin Moyu temporarily separated from the laws, unable to maintain the merged state. His form appeared inside the barrier. Normally, the barrier would immediately detect him and sound an alarm. But the barrier seemed to ignore Lin Moyu. He stood there, but the barrier didn’t detect him at all. This was the power of space-time. Although Lin Moyu was here, he was actually in another space-time. The confusion of time successfully deceived the barrier, also deceiving the demons’ perception. Although the time was only a brief second, it was completely sufficient. Lin Moyu activated the Concealment Talisman again, silently re-merging with the laws. His form completely disappeared, invisible to the naked eye and difficult to sense. From his previous experiences, Lin Moyu knew that as long as he maintained a certain distance, even Saints would find it difficult to detect him. Only half-step Supreme beings like the Demon Lord would be able to sense his presence. Lin Moyu surveyed the world inside the barrier. Inside this barrier, there was actually an independent space. This space was not small, like a small world, with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers. Three Transcendent Realm demons were positioned at three corners of the world, forming an array, continuously exerting the power of rules. The power of rules transformed into raging flames, converging at the center of the space, as if roasting something. Lin Moyu felt that they had been doing this for many years. With the power of rules at the Transcendent Realm, what could need to be burned for so many years? Lin Moyu ignored the three Transcendent Realm demons and flew towards the center. Through the crimson demon flames, Lin Moyu saw clearly what they were roasting. At the same time, as he approached the center, he also sensed an unusual aura. "The Dragon Ball!" Lin Moyu showed a hint of joy; he had finally found the Dragon Ball. The three Transcendent Realm demons were indeed roasting the Dragon Ball. "Are they refining the Dragon Ball?" "It seems the Heavenly Dragon’s Dragon Ball isn’t easy to refine." "The Demon Lord’s aura still lingers here. It seems the Demon Lord also participated in refining the Dragon Ball before leaving for some reason." "Why refine the Dragon Ball? What use could the Dragon Ball have for non-dragon race people?" Lin Moyu thought of the Starry Sky Tree; back then, the Starry Sky Tree also wanted to obtain Antares’ Dragon Ball. Clearly, it also wanted to get something from the Dragon Ball. Now, the Demon Clan also wanted to obtain something from the Heavenly Dragon’s Dragon Ball. "But why refine it here?" "This place is obviously not a good location. The Demon Lord could have taken it back to refine." "Could there be some inside story here?" Lin Moyu continued to approach, and gradually, he discovered something was amiss. Around the Dragon Ball, there was a faint vortex. The vortex was like a large hand, firmly grasping the Dragon Ball, not letting it leave. It was because of the vortex’s existence that the Demon Lord couldn’t take away the Dragon Ball. Lin Moyu was in a dilemma. If even the Demon Lord couldn’t take away the Dragon Ball, how could he take it away? The vortex rotated slowly but steadily in the flames, emitting an attractive force that firmly held the Dragon Ball, preventing it from leaving. Lin Moyu looked at the vortex, finding it increasingly strange and familiar. The vortex was three parts like a secret realm and seven parts like a copy in a small world. He observed carefully and found that the flames were not only refining the Dragon Ball but also continuously pouring into the vortex. It wasn’t clear whether the flames were entering voluntarily or being sucked in by the vortex, but the flames kept pouring into the vortex. If there was another world behind the vortex, it would surely be consumed by the flames, turning into a sea of fire. Lin Moyu pondered; at present, this problem seemed unsolvable. After thinking for a long time, he could only come up with one solution. "It seems I can only go in and take a look."
