Within the spatial rift, what appeared before Li Yan was not the darkness he had seen in the past when tearing through the void, but a blinding expanse of white light.
Even with Li Yan's cultivation, the white light left him dizzy for a moment.
"This is the Desolate Moon Continent's domain barrier!"
As Li Yan looked at the white light before him, he could not help recalling the scene before he entered the Lost Continent. Back then, he had nearly perished within this white light. Only by sheer luck had he narrowly survived.
Every continent was protected by a layer of spatial barrier, formed by the laws of heaven and earth. It shielded the continent from continual attacks by meteors and starfall beasts, like an eggshell protecting what lay within.
The innermost layer nearest the continent was the blinding white light before Li Yan's eyes, known among cultivators as the "Realm Force Compression Layer."
Beyond that layer lay a dim yellow expanse, something akin to the protective light shield around a cultivator's body. Cultivators called it the "Dim Yellow Space."
Only beyond the "Dim Yellow Space" lay the true dark turbulent space. Together, these two layers formed the domain barrier.
Logically, the "Realm Force Compression Layer" and the "Dim Yellow Space" ought to cling directly to the continent's outer surface, but that was not entirely the case.
On any given continent, only a very few places had the "Realm Force Compression Layer" and "Dim Yellow Space" tightly connected to the continent itself. These were also what cultivators called the weakest points of the barrier.
Elsewhere, during the formation of the laws' power at the dawn of chaos, portions of the turbulent space beyond the realm would be directly enclosed, creating a layered structure like a "sandwich."
That was why
