Chapter 451: The Eye of a Titan (2/2)
Nie Tian, however, didn’t make a move. He looked at the Fruit of Life she was going to take with rapt attention.
“Wait!” Nie Tian yelled.
Startled, Dong Li stopped and turned around to look at him. Confused, she asked, “What now?”
Eyes wide, Nie Tian stared down at the murky, green water underneath them. “Look! Down in the pond!”
Dong Li followed his gaze and looked down.
At this moment, ripples appeared in the water of the murky pond.
Oddly, the ripples didn’t start from the center of the pond, but rather from the shore where he and Dong Li had come from, and were spreading towards the shore across from it.
Wherever the ripples spread, the originally murky water became clear.
What was even more surprising was that, as the water cleared, a gigantic, green, crystal-like object gradually appeared at the bottom of the pond, and started to emanate a bright light.
Soon, the ripples reached the other side of the pond, like gradually lifting a veil from over the pond.
The green, crystal-like object was now fully revealed.
It was a green, spherical, crystal-like object, which almost filled the entire pond. The Tree of Life was rooted in its top that rose slightly out of the pond.
At that moment, a formidable aura of life suddenly burst forth from under Nie Tian and Dong Li.
Dong Li’s gorgeous face turned pale with fright. “Nie Tian, that... that’s an eye! The Tree of Life is growing out of a gigantic eye!
“Dear lord! What the hell is this place!? What kind of creature has such a huge eye!? And it can even give birth to a Tree of Life?!”
Nie Tian instantly realized what had just happened.
The previous ripples of water were actually the eyelid of this huge eye opening.
The so-called Tree of Life was actually rooted in this huge eye.
A scream almost escaped his mouth as he felt the overwhelming aura of flesh and blood that burst forth from under them.
The two of them were instantly submerged in a strong sense of crisis.
At this moment, even the green aura in his palm had become quiet and obedient, no longer yearning for the Fruits of Life.
That was when Nie Tian realized that, if he didn’t do anything, perhaps he and Dong Li would be killed in the next moment.
“An eye... A giant eye that hides in the earth...” A train of thoughts flashed across Nie Tian’s mind as he floated by the Tree of Life.
All of a sudden, an image that had been imprinted in the depths of his soul suddenly surfaced in his head.
It was an image of the mysterious dimension that the Blood Core and the Flame Dragon Armor had taken him to, where he had sat on the dilapidated alter and glanced at the distant, mountain-like arms sticking out of the earth and pointing towards the heavens.
“Titans!” A shudder ran through Nie Tian’s body as he realized that this enormous eye must belong to a Titan.
“If this is one of the Titan’s eyes, does it mean that this entire dimension, including the barren land and the lush forest, is the Titan’s prone body?” As these thoughts entered his mind, he felt that the sense of oppression that almost devastated him and Dong Li was growing stronger and stronger.
At this critical moment, it occurred to him to try to create a chaotic magnetic field around him.
He wanted to see if he could ease the terrifying sense of oppression with the secret magic he had learned from that mysterious dimension.
However, his chaotic magnetic field didn’t seem to change anything.
The overwhelming sense of oppression was still growing stronger. Beside him, Dong Li was already kneeling in midair and short of breath, as if her heart was going to explode.
Anxious, Nie Tian went on to try to form a spiritual energy ball with the secret magic he had learned from that mysterious dimension.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
All of a sudden, the green, ribbon-like auras in the sky started converging on him from every direction.
Not only that, but the fragmented will from the Titan, which seemed to contain a secret magic regarding wood power, started flowing up towards him.
To his surprise, as he formed a spiritual energy ball in his left hand and channeled the gathered green energy and fragmented will into his vortex of wood power, the devastating sense of oppression that had been weighing on him and Dong Li was gradually relieved.
Seeing that this method had worked, he continued to cast the spell as he approached the Tree of Life and reached out to grab one of the Fruits of Life with his right hand.
