Chapter 1769: You Should Be Afraid of Me Too! (1/2)

The Mountain of Death in the depths of the chaos was a very special existence.

It was undoubtedly the origin of death.

From the day it had developed intelligence and gained its own awareness, it had realized that it and the origin of life were natural enemies that couldn’t fuse with each other.

When the other origins in the chaos had traded with the origin of life and sent out Void Spirits to create brand new species in the three worlds, it was the only one that hadn’t made a single transaction with the origin of life.

Death power and the life essence from the Sea of Life were naturally incompatible with each other.

Therefore, it was impossible for it to create beings with fleshly bodies that carried death power.

The other origins had created Devils, Netherspirits, Seaspirits, Moonspirits, and numerous other species thanks to their transactions and fusion with the origin of life.

Even their rebellious Void Spirits had turned themselves into Star Behemoths by taking the life essence for themselves.

Even though the Star Behemoths had fallen out with the origins, they had made the origin of life stronger by growing stronger themselves.

In the chaos, the origin of death had watched the origin of life grow from a blood pond into a blood lake, and then into a blood sea...

Eons later, it had turned into a boundless blood sea that took up almost the entire chaos, with all of the other origins occupying a small space above it!

The rapid expansion of the origin of life had made it seem weaker and weaker...

However, since it hadn’t been able to change the situation, it could only watch the space belonging to it grow smaller and smaller.

It didn’t matter whether it was the Star Behemoths, the Netherspirits, the Devils, or the Ancientspirits from the Spirit World. They all had exceptionally long lifespans.

Whenever living beings died of natural causes, and their flesh aura started to dissipate into heaven and earth, it would sense it, and absorb some death power from them to make itself stronger.

Technically speaking, it should have become a mighty origin in the chaos as the Sea of Life had thrived.

However, the majority of the powerful creatures that had been created from the fusion of life essence from the Sea of Life and imprints from the other origins died unnaturally.

Most of them were killed by their enemies, or their own kind.

For example, low-tier devil beasts and devil insects would usually fight among themselves. The winners would devour the losers.

As for high-tier Devils, their approach would be less primal. Their winners would refine the losers’ flesh auras.

By fusing the losers’ flesh auras into themselves, they could make themselves stronger and achieve higher bloodline upgrades.

For those who died in these ways, they had their flesh power refined directly, without generating any death power.

Therefore, the origin of death couldn’t benefit from their deaths.

For powerful beings with fleshly bodies like Star Behemoths, Devils, and Netherspirits, when they were killed, their remains would be made full use of.

They would either be devoured whole, sealed away somewhere, or forged into powerful tools.

However, they would be dealt with so their remains wouldn’t be left to rot while their rich flesh power slowly transformed into death power.

Therefore, even though more and more living beings had been born in the three worlds, and wars had broken out more and more often, causing many to die, the origin of death hadn’t thrived as the origin of life had.

Instead, the deaths in battle had created stronger experts with fleshly bodies, which had nurtured the origin of life in return.

It couldn’t get a single piece of the action.

Finally, after expending tremendous time and effort, it had created the Bonedrudes in the Void World without any help from the origin of life.

They were a peculiar species that thrived on death power, and corresponded to it and it only.

They were like a war it had launched against the Sea of Life.

The stronger the Bonedrudes became as a species, the more they had to go around and start wars among the other species, and they would also have to keep the dead from being devoured or refined by members of the other species.
