Chapter 399: Chapter 398 Domain
He could no longer worry about so much!
Determination flashed in Tang San\'s eyes, and he was about to activate his divine consciousness. Only by doing so could he regain the ability to move. As for the consequences, he could no longer care about them now.
However, just at that moment, Jingjing suddenly let out a sharp cry, "Daddy—"
Following that, a layer of crystal-clear light burst forth from her body. Tang San felt the black and white energies swirling within him suddenly begin to spin violently.
During the spinning, the two colors also turned transparent. Feeling light, Tang San shot out of Heaven Garden and entered Hell\'s Garden the next instant.
It seemed as if an additional layer of transparent aura had appeared on him, causing the Cold-colored Flowers in Hell\'s Garden to have no reaction to his presence.
Tang San hurriedly lowered his head to look at Jingjing in his arms, whose hair had returned to silver color. She seemed to have used up too much of her strength and was now deeply asleep in his embrace.
In the very next moment, an even more bizarre scene occurred. Jingjing curled up and began to turn transparent. Before Tang San could even try to feel what was happening, she turned into a streak of light and silently merged into his chest, entering into his body without a sound.
A cold stream entered his body, and Tang San was surprised to find that the position of his Mark that had originally been empty now had a Crystal-like Brand silently residing in the last place, showing no intention of vying for a forward position. The notion it brought to Tang San was that Jingjing was asleep, quietly sleeping within his body.
What was happening? What exactly was the existence of this little girl hatched from the Crystal Egg? Tang San could even vaguely feel that the divine consciousness he had intended to mobilize seemed to have formed some sort of connection with the strange Crystal Brand that had just merged into him.
This was not a situation he wanted to see, as his greatest secret lay within his divine consciousness. However, Jingjing came from the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, the top-ranking great monster, and now he was utterly helpless. Trying to mobilize it had no effect, and how could he bring himself to harm this little life that had called him daddy and helped him at a critical moment?
It wasn\'t just one Mark that was changing; upon inspecting himself closely, Tang San saw that the surging black and white energies inside him were spinning furiously. As they spun, they were continuously contracting and eventually turned into an aura resembling the Yin Yang fish, emerging behind the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye Brand, as if that Mark had gained a shadow. His Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, or, should it be said, the Heavenly Fox Transformation, seemed to have undergone some peculiar changes.
It was also because of the spinning Yin Yang fish that the Cold-colored Flowers around seemed to no longer be able to affect him.
Without further thought, the most important thing at the moment was to leave this place. Tang San spread the wings of the Golden Peng Transformation and rose into the air with Jingjing, flying swiftly back the way they came.
The devouring aura from Hell\'s Garden had disappeared. To Tang San, this place seemed to have become like the outside world. Even the part of the spirituality of heaven and earth associated with Misfortune Descending that entered his body would automatically join the black and white energy stream, leaving only the pure Aura to be absorbed by his body.
This pure spirituality of heaven and earth moistened Tang San\'s body, always maintaining him in a peak state.
As he flew, he looked back at Heaven Garden, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.
"I will come back!"
Yes, this place, he would inevitably have to return in the future. Perhaps, or rather, certainly, it was where he would find his chance for a God Rank breakthrough.
With less burden on him and no need to assimilate the Cold-colored Flowers, Tang San\'s flying speed naturally became even faster. It seemed as if he had become a part of this world.
While flying, he continued infusing his spiritual will into his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, sensing the changes and the stabilizing properties of the black and white energy stream.
When he tried to manipulate the flow of energy, he could clearly sense that within the black and white streams of energy, there were two different variations occurring.
As Tang San manipulated the black energy, he discovered that the Cold-colored Flowers beneath him would grow wildly, as if they had been fed a great amount of nutrients, becoming even stronger.
However, when he drew upon the white energy flow, an even more bizarre scene unfolded. The surrounding Cold-colored Flowers would instantly change hue, transforming from cold to warm colors, emitting a soft Life Aura and waves of Luck.
The range affected by his influence could reach approximately a hundred meters in diameter.
This was clearly...
Domain!
Yes, Tang San was absolutely certain that by some fluke—and with Jingjing\'s assistance—he had somehow endowed the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye Mark with a domain-like ability.
He just didn\'t know if this domain could only be used within Hell\'s Garden, or if it would also work outside.
The oddities didn\'t end there. When he first drew upon the black energy flow and then simultaneously drew upon both energy streams, his domain would mutate. It didn\'t extend the range, but rather the originally blue Cold-colored Flowers would turn outright black, and the surrounding atmosphere would fill with various negative auras as if Misfortune Descending. On the other hand, when he first drew upon the white energy and then both, everything around him would transform as though arriving in Heaven Garden, with all flowers turning white, brimming with vigorous vitality and an aura of Luck.
After several attempts, Tang San noticed that the black and white light orb would dim slightly, evidently being depleted. However, inside Hell\'s Garden, he seemed to be able to directly absorb the power of the garden to replenish the orb. Releasing a Cold-colored Flower or Warm Color Flower domain took about ten minutes to recover, while releasing a black Hell\'s Garden domain or a white Heaven Garden domain took about half an hour to restore.
When he engaged the Heavenly Fox Transformation during this process, the recovery speed increased significantly.
If he could use this domain outside, it would be of tremendous help! He just didn\'t know what it would turn out to be outside.
This was a pleasant surprise.
As Tang San tested his newly gained domain, he flew rapidly.
Two hours later, he finally saw the presence of Warm Color Flowers. Since he was no longer subject to the allure of Hell\'s Garden, he opened his divine consciousness fully, searching for his teammates\' traces.
As he had expected, the other four members of the Shrek squad had not gone far. Although they had moved back somewhat due to the decrease in Warm Color Flowers, they were still not far from where they had separated initially.
Feeling his companions\' auras, Tang San quickly retracted the Jinpeng wings on his back and gently floated down.
The four Shrek squad members were filled with anxiety at this moment. Tang San had been gone for a long time. When the singing started, and the Warm Color Flowers began to reduce en masse, Tang San was completely out of touch. Half a day had passed, and they were extremely far from the exit, with Tang San still not back.
Yet among the four, no one suggested leaving first, instead silently waiting right there for Tang San\'s return.
"Heaven and Hell are found on earth!" Just then, the singing reappeared.
Bingji abruptly stood up. He could feel that the flowers around them were beginning to change, and it seemed as though some energy in the Warm Color Flowers was dissipating, starting to turn towards a colder hue.
"Let\'s go! We need to find the next stop," he said immediately.
