Chapter 6306 - Heavenly Realm Demon Sea

Ming Yu watched anxiously as the red-haired man was about to escape. Her reaction speed was obviously a bit slower than Long Chen's. After Long Chen's reminder, she realized that no one knew how long the resurrection process of the Bat Empress would take. If it was an extremely lengthy time, and the external demons all gathered here, not even the Shadow Bat Clan, nor the strongest of the Nine Heavens, could guard the statue. After all, just one attack landing on the statue could interrupt the Bat Empress's resurrection. Long Chen was too exhausted to pursue, and though Ming Yu gave it her all to chase, she could only watch helplessly as the red-haired man was about to escape, feeling so anxious she was nearly in tears. However, at a twist of fate, a coffin suddenly appeared out of thin air, absorbing the red-haired man, and then a man in a black cloak stood atop the coffin. The black-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, chanting loudly: 'Boundless...' 'Boundless, my foot! Can't you live without showing off every day?' Long Chen retorted angrily. The one who intervened was none other than Mo Nian. Seeing Mo Nian arrive and capture the red-haired man, Long Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Watching this guy about to recite his 'poetry' again, Long Chen couldn't take it anymore and quickly stopped him; the poetry was too overwhelming. Interrupted in his performance, Mo Nian wasn't angry. Standing on the coffin, he slowly flew over. 'Wow, it seems I missed a chance to shine,' Mo Nian said, unable to hold back when he saw the devastated battlefield center. Ming Yu saw that Mo Nian was actually friends with Long Chen and finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly bowing in gratitude: 'Thank you, sir, for your assistance. The Shadow Bat Clan is truly grateful.' Mo Nian laughed heartily, 'Sister-in-law, you're being too formal with those words...' 'Get lost!' Seeing Mo Nian about to speak without restraint, Long Chen quickly interrupted him; this guy was too shameless. 'Sister-in-law?' Ming Yu was initially stunned. This term didn't exist within the Shadow Bat Clan, but seeing Mo Nian's cheeky smile and Long Chen's annoyed look, Ming Yu's face turned slightly red as she vaguely understood the meaning behind this term. 'Why did you come?' Long Chen hurriedly changed the subject to prevent this guy from continuing to babble. Mo Nian replied seriously, 'Last night, I observed the stars and saw a malignant star appear in the south. South, Li; Li is fire. The malignant star appears, the fire of Li wanes, and you are the only friend around me with the power of fire. I calculated that you were in danger, so I rushed over. Indeed, I am your greatest lucky star; with me around, you can turn danger into safety...' Ming Yu looked at Mo Nian in shock. Could this person be proficient in the art of divination? Especially with Mo Nian's serious expression, she was instantly bluffed. Hearing Mo Nian's nonsensical boasting, Long Chen quickly waved his hand, 'If you just stop bragging, we can still be good brothers. How exactly did you get here?' 'Ahem... alright, after entering the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, I was searching for historical relics, reversing the river of time to find the burial grounds of history. I got lucky this time and really found an extraordinary place. However, that place is an isolated island, surrounded by the sea on all sides. The seawater is as black as ink, calm on the surface but with hidden undercurrents...' Mo Nian explained while gesturing. 'That's the Heavenly Domain Devil Sea. You went there?' Ming Yu suddenly covered her cherry lips, looking at Mo Nian in shock. 'You know that place? That ghost place is impossible to approach. I crossed that eerie sea but was swallowed by an undercurrent. In that undercurrent, there are laws of space and time. I was trapped inside and finally struggled out, ending up here inexplicably. Then I heard the commotion, came over to check, and saw this guy threatening you, so I took him down!' Mo Nian kicked the coffin beneath his feet. 'Let's discuss the matter of the Heavenly Domain Devil Sea later. Mo Nian, there is something I need you to handle,' Long Chen said, then had Ming Yu lead Mo Nian to the Bat Empress's statue. 'My god? Such dense aura of the Great Dao, is this the God Emperor's Dao Fruit?' When Mo Nian saw the statue, his eyes nearly popped out: 'And it's not just any God Emperor's Dao Fruit, such dense aura of the Great Dao, this is a chosen one from the Chaos Era, with a chance to prove the Dao of the Heavenly Emperor in the future. My god, Long Chen, are you going to give me such a great opportunity?' Ming Yu's expression changed slightly, but Long Chen nodded and said, 'That's right, the God Emperor's Dao Fruit is choosing its inheritor. Bow down, I've already done so. After bowing, you'll know if you're the chosen one.' 'Bow down?' Mo Nian looked skeptical: 'Are you kidding me?' 'You were the one joking first,' Long Chen replied irritably. Hearing this, Ming Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She now realized that Mo Nian was just joking. However, this joke was a bit too much. After all, it concerned the Bat Empress, and if it were anyone else disrespecting the Empress like this, she would have turned hostile long ago. 'Hehe, don't be mad. Just tell me what you need me to do,' Mo Nian seemed to realize that his joke might have been ill-timed, as the faces of the Shadow Bat Clan's experts didn't look too pleased. 'Can you transfer her to another place without disturbing the Empress? A great battle just took place here, and it's easy to attract strong individuals to investigate. If they discover that the Empress is in the process of resurrection, that would be troublesome,' Long Chen said seriously. The resurrection process of the Bat Empress absolutely could not be interrupted or disturbed, otherwise, all previous efforts would be in vain. Moreover, as the resurrection process began, Long Chen could clearly feel the aura of the Great Dao slowly emanating from the statue. This phenomenon would only become stronger and more majestic, so a way to conceal it had to be found. Seeing Long Chen's seriousness, Mo Nian nodded and began circling the statue. He also took out a compass, constantly comparing directions while calculating something with his fingers. Ming Yu looked at Long Chen, and seeing his pale face, weary spirit, and exhausted appearance, yet still forcing himself to stay strong. Long Chen, to protect the Shadow Bat Clan, did not hesitate to fight against his kin, killing so many descendants of the Nine Stars, stirring up a monstrous calamity. What would he do in the future against the Nine Star lineage? Thinking of this, Ming Yu felt incredibly sad. If she were in Long Chen's position, would she be willing to do this? Would she dare to do this? Now, with the strong enemies gone, Long Chen dragged his weary body to ask Mo Nian for help in protecting the statue, a favor that might be impossible to repay even with a lifetime of gratitude. Suddenly, Ming Yu was overwhelmed: was the Nine Star Master of old also such a person? Is that why the ancestors swore to follow in his footsteps to the death? At that moment, in Ming Yu's mind, the legendary Nine Star Master and the figure of Long Chen in front of her slowly overlapped, creating a storm of emotions in her heart. 'I have bad news for you all!' Mo Nian put away the compass and said with a dejected look. Hearing Mo Nian's words, Ming Yu and the others felt their hearts sink.
