Chapter 6315 - Season of Harvest?

"It's this fluctuation, we've arrived!" Feeling the fluctuation, Mo Nian was somewhat excited. Long Chen sensed a terrifying aura of death and decay, an aura similar to that of hell, seemingly capable of absorbing the vitality from one's body, causing great discomfort. Soon, the trees and vegetation ahead gradually disappeared, and the ground turned pitch black, completely devoid of life. From the dark land, black mist arose, toxic and capable of corroding the flesh. However, with the strength of Long Chen and Mo Nian, they naturally weren't afraid of such erosion. As they continued to speed forward, the black mist grew thicker, and the aura of death and decay surged forward. Long Chen soon saw an endless expanse of black water. Seeing the black water, Long Chen was slightly startled; this black water seemed somewhat familiar. Within the black water, the aura of death was even more intense. As he approached it, Long Chen felt a slight tingling sensation in his soul. "Why does this black water have such a dense aura of the Underworld?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask. Mo Nian replied solemnly, "This black water looks like a stagnant pool, but in reality, it flows. When it flows, it creates spatial turbulence, silently swallowing people. Previously, I accidentally got pulled into the turbulence and struggled for a long time before escaping." "Are you sure there's treasure here?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask. "I don't know if there's treasure, but there's definitely a remarkable figure buried inside," Mo Nian vowed. Long Chen rolled his eyes; this guy couldn't go three sentences without bringing up tomb raiding. "You don't know, brother, but after entering the island, I discovered many dragon vein patterns. Finding treasure along the dragon veins is almost always a sure thing. In fact, I found you guys by first locating a dragon vein and then being drawn by the battle's fluctuations." "There's a dragon vein here too?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask. Isn't this a small world, destroyed to such an extent, and yet it still has a dragon vein? Mo Nian said, "Logically, this is a crippled world, so there shouldn't be any dragon veins. Even if there are, they would be dead veins. But so many terrifying beings have fallen here, and these divine emperors carry fortune with them. After their fall, their fortune power hid underground, spreading like roots to form ground veins. Influenced by these veins, the surface started to deform, and vegetation, nurtured by fortune, grew lush and abundant. Unlike in the Nine Heavens world, where people bury their ancestors in places where dragon veins converge to keep their spirits at rest and maintain fortune to protect descendants. Here, when they died, their fortune condensed, absorbing the surrounding world's power, forcibly altering the terrain to create a feng shui treasure land. Many people with weak fortune after death would have their fortune absorbed by those with stronger fortune. The Heavenly Bat Empress was extremely powerful, with an astonishing range of ground veins, and this place is countless times larger than hers. Do you think there won't be treasures here?" "Wow," Long Chen exclaimed. A being stronger than the Heavenly Bat Empress? It's known that the Heavenly Bat Empress alone slaughtered countless divine emperors. Hearing this, Long Chen's heart was stirred. Mo Nian took out a map and said, "According to the records of the Shadow Bat Clan, this is a place of absolute evil, impossible to enter. Yet, they found that every time the Heavenly Domain Battlefield opens, strange sounds can vaguely be heard coming from the island. However, those who heard the sounds would soon fall ill, their bodies enveloped in black mist, as if poisoned, dying within a few years. Since then, no one dared to set foot here, though they remained curious, they didn't dare to act." Long Chen watched the water surface emitting black mist, slowly approaching. He reached out to lightly touch the water. "Buzz" Several strands of black mist immediately rose from the water like venomous snakes, swiftly wrapping around Long Chen's arm. "Whoosh" Long Chen quickly withdrew his arm, only to see the black mist wrapping around it like a web, frantically invading his arm. "Buzz" The sun fire appeared on Long Chen's arm, igniting the black threads, which gradually faded until they disappeared. "What fierce death aura, and there's curse power within," Long Chen couldn't help but say. Mo Nian nodded, "A light touch is fine, but extensive contact could be troublesome. The worst would be getting trapped inside, which would be truly dangerous. With our current strength, we can't hold on for long." Long Chen looked at his arm where the black threads had disappeared, and the curse power was trying to invade his body. Just as Long Chen was about to eradicate it, his purple blood, supreme blood, and dragon blood started to boil, surrounding the curse power. They seemed unafraid of the curse power. Initially, the curse power was fierce and violent, but after a while, it quieted down. "Buzz" Then, to Long Chen's shock, the curse power suddenly disintegrated, and the black mist dissipated, leaving only a tiny blood droplet smaller than a needle's tip. "This..." The appearance of the blood droplet made Long Chen's heart race. The fluctuation within it was remarkably similar to his bloodline's. "Buzz" Then the blood droplet merged into the three bloods, and Long Chen felt an unprecedented power infuse into his body. As that power merged within, Long Chen felt a surge of majestic power rising within him, leaving him both astonished and delighted. Sensing the aura of the black water again, Long Chen instantly understood why it felt familiar. The fluctuation of this black water surprisingly had a hint of the Devil's Sea's aura. At the same time, a scene appeared in Long Chen's mind. Back when he ascended to the Four Extremes Realm to undergo tribulation, a mysterious force secretly siphoned a portion of his blood soul power. At that time, Long Chen wanted to fight for it, but the Chaos Dragon Emperor stopped him, saying, "Plant a seed in spring, harvest a thousand grains in autumn." Recalling past events, Long Chen could hardly believe it. Could his blood soul power have been drawn here? Is it now the harvest season? Long Chen was so excited he almost danced with joy. If his guess was correct, the part of his blood soul drawn here had absorbed endless energy on this battlefield and gained its own consciousness. Fortunately, this consciousness still recognized him, meaning he could absorb the entire black ocean's power. Wow, he was about to hit the jackpot. Just as Long Chen was about to ask Mo Nian to protect him while he began the absorption, the voice of the Chaos Dragon Emperor came again: "Now is not the time."
