Chapter 6308 - Watertight

“What's going on?” Long Chen's expression changed slightly as he hurriedly looked at Mo Nian. Mo Nian calmly replied, “I did this deliberately. The energy of the Great Dao is better to be vented rather than blocked. If it's completely blocked, my formation cannot withstand such an impact. I intentionally left a small gap to allow the energy of the Great Dao to leak out. Firstly, for the safety of the formation, and secondly, so that the energy of the Great Dao of the Heavenly Bat Empress can bless future generations.” Upon hearing this, Long Chen suddenly realized and couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Mo Nian’s move was truly brilliant, leaving no gaps. Ming Yu also understood at this moment that Mo Nian wanted them to guard around the statue, absorbing the leaked energy of the Great Dao while protecting the formation. Mo Nian told Ming Yu and the others that the formation is alive and requires the entire clan to operate it. Only in this way can the formation's power be brought to its peak. In case the hidden formation is discovered, they should immediately switch to a killing formation, using the energy of the Great Dao to kill any intruders. Although the probability of the formation being discovered is extremely low, Mo Nian, like Long Chen, never leaves things to chance and always keeps a backup plan. This way, not only is safety ensured, but the experts of the Shadow Demon Bat clan can also benefit. Moreover, as descendants of the Heavenly Bat Empress, her energy of the Great Dao holds unimaginable blessings for them. “I really don’t know how to thank you!” Ming Yu said excitedly. “No need to dwell on it. If you feel really bad, then...” Mo Nian was about to make a joke, but Long Chen quickly covered his mouth. This guy's jokes were too much. “Indeed, there’s no need to dwell on it. You fought for the Nine Star lineage and ended up like this. It is us, the Nine Star lineage, who owe you. This is all what I should do,” Long Chen said. “It was clearly my doing,” Mo Nian retorted, pushing away Long Chen’s hand. Ming Yu looked at Long Chen, nodded, and said no more. She finally understood why their ancestors followed the Nine Star lineage. In this world, the most precious thing is the kind of trust where hearts and lives are exchanged. Long Chen is such a person. When he attacked Ao Gu and others for the Shadow Demon Bat clan, the experts of the Shadow Demon Bat clan were once again moved. If Long Chen ever needed anything in the future, the Shadow Demon Bat clan would be willing to sacrifice everything for him. Originally, the Shadow Demon Bat clan no longer intended to keep their ancestors' promise because the Nine Star lineage had betrayed them first. However, this promise was renewed because of Long Chen. “By the way, Miss Ming Yu, you mentioned the Heavenly Domain Demon Sea earlier. What exactly is that, and what about that mysterious island? Can you tell me more about it?” Mo Nian asked seriously. Ming Yu nodded, and the three of them found a place to sit down. Ming Yu began to tell them the secrets of the Shadow Demon Bat clan. The Heavenly Domain Battlefield has already become the home of the Shadow Demon Bats. They have lived in the underground world of the Heavenly Domain Battlefield to guard the statue of the Heavenly Bat Empress. The battlefield has undergone countless years of self-evolution, forming its own world and generating its own laws. The balance represents the manifestation of these laws. And underground in the Heavenly Domain Battlefield lies a hidden world. It is the concentrated source power of the Heavenly Domain Battlefield. The Shadow Demon Bat clan has been able to continue because they discovered this underground world. However, the Heavenly Domain Battlefield has tidal-like law fluctuations, similar to the waxing and waning of the moon. Even the native Shadow Demon Bat clan cannot appear in the Heavenly Domain Battlefield at will. They can only enter the battlefield during periods when the barrier is weak, just like riding the tide. They must return to the underground world before the tide rises. Each occurrence of these “tides” is not fixed. Sometimes it may be thousands of years, other times tens of thousands. When entering the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, they must always pay attention to the changes in the laws to determine the timing. If they fail to return to the underground world before the tide rises, the evil beings and countless demon souls in the Heavenly Domain Battlefield will annihilate them. The most terrifying are the demon souls that can possess their bodies, turning them into puppets. There have been instances where one was possessed and almost caused a disaster when returning to the underground world. However, because the Shadow Demon Bat clan enters the battlefield more frequently, they understand it better. For them, the so-called opening of the battlefield is a super tidal explosion. Under such an explosion, the laws of the battlefield change drastically, weakening the power of the demon souls and malicious beings. They hide to avoid being killed by the Nine Heavens and extraterrestrial demons. These demon souls and malicious beings are mutated creatures born from the chaos war and unique to the Heavenly Domain Battlefield. They are born in the battlefield, live by its unique laws, and can never leave it. They are terrifyingly powerful with strange attacks. Even though the strongest are only at the Divine Emperor realm, their unique attack methods can easily cause even world-class talents to fall. If not for the change in the world laws when the battlefield opens, limiting these creatures, who knows how many more souls would be lost on this battlefield. The Shadow Demon Bat clan possesses the most comprehensive map of the entire Heavenly Domain Battlefield and has marked all dangerous areas. Ming Yu directly took out two maps for Long Chen and Mo Nian. The two of them almost shouted with excitement upon seeing them. The Shadow Demon Bat clan has even clearly marked the heritage sites of various races, the names of fallen figures, and which race they belong to. What treasures exist in which places, and what kind of terrifying creatures are there, are all recorded one by one. For Long Chen and Mo Nian, this map is simply priceless, and in fact, it truly is because Ming Yu only has three copies. One is with her, and the other two are with two other top-tier talents just below her in status. The reason it is kept so securely is to prevent it from falling into the hands of others if someone is killed. The map has unique marks from the Shadow Demon Bat clan, and even if someone else obtains it, they cannot view it without knowing how to unlock it. Trying to force it open would only destroy the map. But even so, the Shadow Demon Bat clan dares not be careless with the map. After receiving the map, Long Chen and Mo Nian thanked Ming Yu repeatedly. Seeing their excitement, Ming Yu couldn’t help but smile. “Boom…” The formation activated, and the surrounding land began to gather. The power of time surged, mountains rose, and trees grew. Soon, the battlefield had completely changed. The original combat aura was entirely erased. Long Chen used his soul to sense repeatedly, barely detecting the unusual aura underground. “Amazing!” Long Chen couldn’t help but marvel. “Ha! You think that’s amazing? Let me tell you, this is just scratching the surface. When the opportunity arises, I’ll show you what it really means to scratch the surface,” Mo Nian said proudly. Long Chen confirmed repeatedly, finding it indeed difficult to detect any anomalies here. With the illusion formation and killing formation in place, this place was practically foolproof. “Come on, let's go do something big.” Mo Nian held the map in his hand, brimming with confidence and called out.
