    Together, they had gone through cultivation, enhancement, and training outside the sect, especially those life-and-death battles in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. Tang San''s silent contributions for humanity, and for everyone, were not lost on them. Even though they could sense that Tang San had some secrets, they all deliberately avoided inquiring into them. Not even the mayor had said anything, and with all that Tang San had done, all they could do was trust him.


    "Yes, let''s not say anything; we know nothing. But, Xiao Tang, is there no power of Time here?" Gu Li looked at Du Bai with a face full of envy. He had gone to great lengths to barely manage reaching the Seventh Stage. Du Bai''s Heavenly Fox Transformation was undoubtedly even harder to cultivate, yet with just a touch on the shoulder from Tang San, he had reached Seventh Stage. This was truly enviable and jealousy-inducing.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Tang San shook his head helplessly and said, "There really isn''t, Senior Brother Gu Li. When the auction begins, we will see if we can find some high-grade blood from the Time Crocodile to help you advance."


    Gu Li''s Time Variation Seal, being a Level 2 Bloodline, was increasingly difficult to enhance, and its difficulty level was almost on par with that of a First Stage bloodline.


    In fact, the Time Variation Seal itself was at the pinnacle of Second Stage existence, but since this branch had never produced a Great Demon Emperor, it had always been considered Second Stage instead of First.


    The mysteries of Time, even more profound than those of Space, were something not even Tang San, the former First-Generation God King, dared im to have mastered.


    With the interference from Hell''s Garden gone, their pace of return was naturally much faster than when they had entered.


    Along the way, they encountered the singing voice twice more, and within the range of their sight, there was almost no presence of Warm Color Flowers left, save for the radius of a hundred meters around them, which remained surrounded by warm colors under Tang San''s influence.


    The light pir at the distant exit gradually became clearer, and there was still plenty of time before the closure of Hell''s Garden, giving them ample time to continue moving forward.


    Thanks to the constant presence of Warm Color Flowers around them, their energy consumption was even slower than the replenishment rate, keeping them in a near-peak condition.


    As they approached the exit, the energy fluctuationsing from that direction also began to permeate Tang San''s perception.


    From a distance, they could see lights flickering continuously around the exit''s light pir.


    Tang San asked hispanions to stop and concentrated on sensing the situation afar.


    At this point, the light pir at the exit had grown enormous in their eyes, stretching from earth to heaven like adder, seemingly connecting to another world.


    Surrounding this pir of light was an area with Warm Color Flowers. This zone wasn''trge, only about ten meters in radius around the pir. Beyond that were the wing Cold-colored Flowers, which had grown quiterge. These Cold-colored Flowers were at least Seventh Stage nt-ss Spirit Monsters, ready to attack anything entering their domain.


    Battles were raging in the area where the warm and cold flowers met.


    By Tang San''s estimation, based on the time, it was thest day before the exit closed. Either because those fighting earlier had shown restraint, or for some other reason, Tang San perceived that at least eighty percent of the powerful entities that entered for the team battle were still present. Along with them, it meant that the majority of the participants were still alive.


    For Hell''s Garden, half of the participants had to die for the exit to truly open. Otherwise, once Hell''s Garden closed, all those who had entered for the battle would perish within.


    As Tang San deduced, seeing that time was running out, battles had inevitably started. What caused him to gasp was that once the fighting truly began, the strength disyed by these teams was genuinely terrifying.


    In Tang San''s perception, almost everybatant was above Ninth Stage. The least powerful were just entering Ninth Stage, and there were at least a dozen who were at the peak of Ninth Stage, like the Lion Tiger Sword Saint. The battle was in full swing at the moment.

    Tang San shared his discovery with hispanions, and quickly retracted his domain power, making the number of warm color flowers around them swiftly diminish, leaving only a few nearby to avoid detection.


    Facing the distant battle, there was naturally no need to say what to do. Without a domain, they could only join in, seeking cooperation with the strongest squad in order to leave this ce. But now, with the presence of Tang San''s domain, which seemed to have made him the master of Hell''s Garden, what they needed to do was simply to sit back and watch the tigers fight.


    In fact, even if Hell''s Garden were closed, with the existence of Tang San''s domain, they did not have to worry about their lives being threatened.


    What they needed to do now was to wait, to wait until the killing had subsided.


    What was originally an extremely dangerous team battle in the Ancestral Court Grand Animal Fighting Arena had now be incredibly easy for the Shrek squad, giving everyone an odd feeling.


    "Let''s rest right here," Tang San said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, as the battle on the other side involved everyone fighting desperately and was likely not to end anytime soon. Anyhow, they were waiting, so he intended to take this opportunity to thoroughly experience just how peculiar his domain, which appeared in the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, really was.


    In his past life, he also had the ability to control domains, and not just one kind. In this life, relying on his memories, he was also nning to soon reproduce at least one of the domains he originally had.


    But due to different situations in this ne, he would need to find an opportunity to do so. He never expected to suddenly possess such a strange domain.


    The five of them concealed themselves in the flowers, several thousand meters away from the exit. With only a small number of warm color flowers surrounding them, they needn''t worry about being discovered. Nobody would risk venturing thousands of meters into the cold color flowers to probe their way.


    The cold color flowers surrounding the exit had now created a towering, sky-obscuring sight, with anyone who entered being subject to a frenzy of attacks.


    Sitting cross-legged, he concentrated and looked within.


    Tang San first checked for any changes in Jingjing''s condition.


    Jingjing was still in a deep sleep, sleeping soundly, but Tang San could distinctly feel that the Crystal Brand was continuously absorbing Origin Energy. Arge portion of the Origin Energy he took into his body was being absorbed by her.


    His consciousness shifted to the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye Brand.


    A ck and white stream of energy revolved and reciprocated within the brand. Compared to its previously ethereal and aloof state, it now had an even more domineering presence. It was obviouslyrger than the other brands. The Lion Tiger Change''s brand was already strong, but in front of this one, it did not have the slightest courage to resist, and the same went for the Peacock Transformation.


    With the ck and white energy swirling around, Tang San could feel the intertwining of luck and misfortune, maintaining a bnce between them. In principle, the situation of this domain was simr to the previous Heavenly Fox Transformation. Using the Power of Luck would increase misfortune, which also needed to be released, and vice versa.


    However, once these two different energies revolved around each other, the primary function of this domain seemed to be as an amplifier. They maintained a bnce within themselves. Whenever Tang San wanted to utilize luck or misfortune, the effect would be directly magnified by it, with the magnification disying within an approximate diameter of a hundred meters around the domain. Luck and misfortune within the domain could instantly switch based on Tang San''s will.


    With this domain, in Hell''s Garden, he had essentially be a part of it, making everything within Hell''s Garden seem to assimte with him.


    Tang San now understood that the core essence of Hell''s Garden was the separation of luck and misfortune into Heaven Garden and Hell''s Garden. He even dared to say that this ne was closely rted to the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, and now, he seemed to be treated as a direct descendant of the Heavenly Fox bloodline. He just did not know whether this unexpectedly formed domain was also possessed by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.
