Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The transformation of the Three Tailed Sky Fox above Du Bai\'s head from white to black paused briefly as Cheng Zicheng, who hadn\'t yet put away his wings from the Golden Peng Transformation, directly hit Du Bai\'s back. Tang San\'s eyes flickered with a purple-golden light as he delivered a spiritual impact onto Du Bai\'s body. Wu Bingji quickly conjured several ice shields around them for protection.

Du Bai grunted, and the Heavenly Fox Transformation he was releasing finally got interrupted. The shadow of the Three Tailed Sky Fox vanished, and the flowers surrounding them stopped changing into cold hues, reverting back to warm ones.

All this happened astonishingly fast; if the group had reacted just a moment slower, the flowers\' colors might have completed their transformation.

Du Bai was hit by Cheng Zicheng so hard he nearly fell. He managed to stabilize himself with Tang San\'s help, but the spiritual impact left his brain aching. He protested, "What are you doing?"

As Tang San helped him steady himself, he said, "Don\'t use the Heavenly Fox Transformation, it\'s not right."

"Huh?" Du Bai looked at him, bewildered, as he tried to adjust his own spiritual power for recovery.

Tang San frowned deeply, "When you were performing the Heavenly Fox Transformation just now, it wasn\'t bringing fortune, but misfortune instead."

"What?" Du Bai stared at him, dumbfounded, with furrowed brows, pondering over the process he had just undergone.

After several days of nurturing at the Heavenly Fox Palace, he felt a significant increase in his control over luck, and his bloodline seemed to have purified a bit too. He was eager to show off his skills during this trial, but never expected such a turn of events.

"How could this happen?" Du Bai murmured to himself.

"What did you feel when you were performing the Heavenly Fox Transformation just now?" Tang San asked.

Still looking somewhat lost, Du Bai shook his head and replied, "I can\'t quite say, it was a bit strange. It seemed like something was draining my power, and then I started to feel increasingly irritated."

Tang San spoke seriously, "Don\'t perform the Heavenly Fox Transformation for now. Everyone, refrain from any hasty actions and wait here for the first song to appear. I\'ll go and investigate."

Saying so, he determined the direction and ventured towards the edge of the area covered by the warm-hued flowers.

Hell\'s Garden was deeply mysterious; he had to understand the true difference between the warm and cold hues of the flowers here.

Du Bai\'s recent condition was highly unusual, but while everyone had used their bloodline powers, only his Heavenly Fox Transformation had undergone a significant change; the Demon God Transformations of the others remained normal. This meant that the Heavenly Fox Transformation was affected by something here. Logically speaking, only luck should affect luck.

With the Lion Tiger Golden Gang protecting his body, Tang San carefully approached the interface between the warm and cold colored flowers. He was now over a hundred meters away from his companions.

From above, both color flowers, when sensed with spiritual power, formed irregular and uneven shapes without any apparent pattern.

This distance shouldn\'t affect his companions anymore.

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped forward into the range of the cold-hued flowers.

Instantly, the deadly aura he had felt earlier pervaded the air almost in an instant. Following that, Tang San distinctly felt a powerful suction force from beneath his feet. Gravity increased abruptly, making him feel sluggish and as if each step was difficult. Not only that, but he could also clearly sense his bloodline power and life aura rapidly depleting.

Tang San\'s control over his body was unmatched by anyone below deity level, yet even he was unable to stop the outflow of life aura from his body.

Not only that, but the cold-toned flowers around him almost instantly burst into wild growth as if nourished by his life aura, each previously dazzling and vibrant flower revealing a fearsome scene after their rapid swelling.

Thorns protruded from their stems, some of the large flowers exploded, turning each petal into sharp blades that swept toward Tang San. Others suddenly enlarged and opened their petals, all of which were covered with fang-like barbs that lunged directly to gnaw at him.

Even more alarmingly, vines rapidly coiled over from the ground, launching a comprehensive assault that came at him from all directions.

Tang San snorted coldly, and his Lion Tiger Golden Gang surged, instantly forming a white light cocoon around his body. The white light made contact with the attacks from the cold-toned flowers, grinding them to dust.

At the same time, Tang San deployed the special abilities of Lion Tiger Golden Gang, attempting to devour the cold-toned flowers to temporarily acquire their characteristics.

But he almost instantly halted his action because when Lion Tiger Golden Gang destroyed the flowers and started devouring their energy, Tang San felt a sudden chill all over his body as if something very bad was about to happen to him. What\'s this?

Misfortune? Tang San immediately made the judgment.

Others might not have such a clear realisation, but he also possessed the ability of Heavenly Fox Transformation! His perception of luck was extremely keen, so he understood at once what was happening to him.

"Roar—" A huge white Lion Tiger Beast phantom appeared behind Tang San, opening its gaping mouth and letting out a thunderous roar.

All at once, various cold-toned flowers within tens of meters around him were shattered, clearing the space in front of him.

Tang San quickly retreated, moving back into the territory of the warm-toned flowers.

During his retreat, he forcefully used the Lion Tiger Golden Gang to help himself break free from the suction underfoot, but his speed was still much slower than usual. Fortunately, he had been on the edge of the area covered by the cold-toned flowers, so he was able to quickly retreat back to the range of the warm-toned flowers.

What was that feeling just now?

Tang San\'s eyebrows knitted tightly as if he had grasped something.

The attacks of Hell\'s Garden seemed to be related to misfortune. When Du Bai deployed Heavenly Fox Transformation, good fortune would turn into misfortune. The attacks from the cold-toned flowers also carried misfortune.

At this moment, the region where he had previously destroyed the cold-toned flowers, roots were rapidly growing from the ground, soon returning to a dense patch of cold-toned flowers, sparkling with their cold, gorgeous light.

If deploying good fortune leads to Misfortune Descending, turning even the warm-toned flowers into cold ones that launch attacks, then what would happen if misfortune was deployed directly?

With a thought, Tang San, being a master of his craft, had confidence in himself, thanks to the divine consciousness hidden within his Sea of Spirit. Right then, he quietly mobilized the ability of the Heavenly Fox Transformation and, under the precise control of the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, a layer of pitch-black aura swiftly emerged around him, enveloping him within.

The misfortune released by himself was outward-directed and would not target him.

The misfortune produced by Heavenly Fox Transformation was accumulated while continuously releasing good fortune, which needed to be discharged over a certain period of time to neutralize the good fortune; Tang San naturally had his own accumulation.

And as he actively released misfortune, his body trembled violently in an instant, because he was astonished to find that the warm-toned flowers around him were going crazy, transforming towards the cold-toned direction just like when Du Bai had deployed good fortune, but what was even more eerie was the transformation in his spiritual perception.

Tang San felt a sudden surge in the range of his spiritual power sensation, as if countless evil thoughts and misfortunes were enveloping everything around him, and as he released his misfortune, his perception rapidly extended throughout the vast area. He even sensed a team around a few thousand meters away from them, resting among the warm-toned flowers.

That endless stream of evil thoughts seemed to ripple through the entire space, with all the ripples flowing cohesively in one direction.
