Just now, Xiao Tian had seen very clearly that the very moment everyone's anger flared at the same time, the darkness all around them actually shrank inward again.
Although it was only the tiniest, almost imperceptible bit, Xiao Tian could be a thousand percent sure he hadn't seen wrong!
This abnormal phenomenon made Xiao Tian form a new judgment once more: that lofty old man up in the sky was deliberately provoking everyone, speeding up their march toward annihilation.
As for the principle behind it, Xiao Tian's initial guess was that the surrounding darkness used everyone's anger and other negative emotions as nourishment, devouring them to grow stronger.
But if that was the case, there was something that didn't add up—because just now the old man had driven the darkness right up to the edge of the arena, which already proved he could control the darkness around them. Wouldn't doing this be completely redundant?!
