This shield is clearly different from the shields on the Snail People warships.
Although the star destroyer had shields, those shields were quite flimsy in terms of both quality and thickness, and could not withstand Li Xingkong's attacks.
But the shield that forms on the planet's surface is completely different. Its thickness seems to rival that of the atmosphere, and in terms of texture, it is much sturdier than the shields on warships.
"Holy crap, isn't that the Shield of Truth, Third Generation from the Iron Law Country?! These guys are so rich, they can even afford to use something like this!"
Not only was Li Xingkong observing the shield's condition, but the aliens watching from the edge of the galaxy also noticed this scene.
"This thing is supposed to have the strongest defense; even a swarm of insects couldn't break through it."
"These things are expensive; even if the Snail People sold all the star systems they owned, they might not be able to afford just one."
"Hey, you've been working here for so many years, haven't you noticed how they got this stuff?"
"Who knows? These guys are human in their uniforms, but bandits when they take their clothes off. Who knows where they robbed them from?"
"That's impossible. Without a professional engineer to install it, this thing won't work. Looks like these guys have amassed quite a bit of money behind the scenes."
"You've all gone off on a tangent. This time, the Planet Exterminator has met his match. He can't break through that shield."
"Look, look, what if..."
"I knew I shouldn't have argued with you all. You all left, and I stayed. Then we'd be best allies, and I'd take all your share."
"Are you stupid? They can only cower inside the shields right now. Try making it open the shields!"
"After all, they are Convention states. If this drags on, surely Convention will eventually intervene..."
"That's right, so should you go and inform the Convention, or should I go?"
"I'd rather die than go. I can't afford to have someone tip him off the moment I leave."
Li Xingkong circled the shield a few times, then unleashed several Ten Thousand Swords Art upon it.
But the shield was made of some unknown material. When the Ten Thousand Swords Art struck it, it was as if the sword had hit a cotton ball, causing no damage whatsoever.
Li Xingkong intensified his attacks, but the effect still had little impact on the shield.
The Taiyi Ice Soul Divine Light also fired several shots, but apart from freezing the surface of the shield for a very short time, the Divine Light could not penetrate the entire shield to strike the planet.
Even attacks from beam weapons were deflected by the shield and could not penetrate it.
This thing is like a turtle shell, completely encasing the entire planet.
To be honest, this was the first time Li Xingkong had ever seen a protective shield of this level. Li Xingkong had never seen its internal structure before, and his analysis with his Divine Sense yielded no results.
Moreover, when Li Xingkong used his Divine Sense to investigate, he discovered that there was a strange interlayer inside the shield, which also isolated his Divine Sense power from the outside of the shield.
This is interesting. The technology behind this shield is so advanced that it's definitely not Snail People could have created.
It's probably equipment they bought from other civilizations, their most prized possessions.
Li Xingkong was also somewhat stumped about how to break through this shield.
If he had mastered the killing techniques among the Five Elements Divine Light, this shield might not have been a problem. Unfortunately, Li Xingkong's mastery of this divine power is still insufficient; he can only use the Taiyi Ice Soul Divine Light.
It's clearly impossible for him to just leave like that; with so many people watching, he has his pride to save face.
To break through this shield, Li Xingkong's first thought was whether he could disrupt its energy supply, cutting off its energy source at the source and rendering the shield ineffective.
But after observing the shield, Li Xingkong was surprised to find that it was like water without a source; he could not see any energy supply equipment, either from the inside or the outside.
It was as if the shield had appeared out of thin air.
That's interesting.
Li Xingkong pondered for a moment, recalling the information he had seen on the merchant ship.
Perhaps this defensive shield is a creation of a civilization beyond the third level, a military equipment that integrates production and warfare.
This thing is completely different from real-world combat; it's more like equipment from some games I'd seen before I started training.
In games like Red Alert and StarCraft, as long as mining trucks collect minerals at the mine, the collected resources can be used directly without needing to be redeployed, regardless of how far the various facilities of the base are from the mine.
The so-called combat units, whether they are the 50-coin good brothers or airships and tanks, seem to have endless ammunition after they appear, and can launch attacks at will.
This shield is likely the same; once deployed, it will be the only protection on the core star system, while other facilities to maintain its existence may be located on any mineral planet within the entire Snail People Civilization.
Finding its energy source is extremely difficult; without intelligence, it's like being a headless fly.
This approach is not feasible; Li Xingkong needs to think of another way.
The conflict between these Snail People and the Divine Land is irreconcilable. The best way is to wipe them out, just like the tradition in the Divine Land: kill everyone, dig three feet into the ground, shake all the eggs, and even split the earthworms upright.
,,,
A sudden thought flashed through Li Xingkong's mind; he seemed to have just realized something extraordinary.
He looked up at the planet, which was completely enveloped by a shield, and the word "egg" suddenly popped into his mind.
Yes, I shook the eggs to mix them for him...
The words of our ancestors were indeed true.
Since this shield is so strong and unbreakable, we might as well not bother attacking it.
Does failing to break through the shield mean there's no way to target the planets inside? For most civilizations, that's true, but for Li Xingkong, he has an even simpler and more direct method.
A smile appeared on Li Xingkong's face.
He slowly took a few steps back, and the magic array around him quickly opened up, expanding rapidly in all directions.
Soon, the size of the magic array expanded to be comparable to that of the planet, and it could be clearly seen even at the edge of the galaxy.
"What is he trying to do? This is making quite a commotion."
"Even so, the Shield of Truth is not something that can be easily broken."
Li Xingkong continued to channel his magic Magic Power, and then he slowly reached out his hand. At the same time, a giant hand made of Magic Power also emerged from the magic array.
The giant hand moved in unison with Li Xingkong's gesture, reaching forward and grabbing the entire planet enveloped by the shield.
To drag a planet like that would consume an excessive amount of Magic Power, but Li Xingkong didn't plan to take it anywhere anyway.
After reaching out and grasping the planet, Li Xingkong controlled the giant hand to push the entire planet in the direction of its rotation.
The shield was indeed powerful; it remained completely undamaged even under such pressure.
But the planets inside the shield were different; with the help of this force, their rotation speed suddenly accelerated.
Li Xingkong changed his hand gesture, causing the planet enveloped by the shield to spin like a top.
The planet, protected by its outer shield, accelerated under Li Xingkong's thrusts, spinning rapidly like a wheel.
The shield is indeed strong; it showed no damage whatsoever despite such rotation.
But the planets inside the shield were in big trouble.
Upon closer inspection, countless tiny Snail People were flung out by the violent planetary rotation, being thrown into the sky from the planet's surface at an extremely fast speed, exceeding the second cosmic velocity, before crashing into the shield, their entire bodies becoming a patch of blood stuck to the shield.
Not only people, but also buildings, plants, rivers, rocks, and all objects on the ground were flung into the air by this rapid rotation.
In an instant, this shield became nothing more than a coffin lid for the Snail People of the planet, the kind that would directly nail living people to their deaths inside.
