Chapter 1770: Struggle (1/2)

It was horrifying to hang between life and death.

Atop the Mountain of Death, Nie Tian felt heart-wrenching pain as the origin of death infused his doppelgänger with the purest, most refined death power.

He felt as if he were being stir-fried in a large pan!

All of a sudden, he realized how agonizing it must have been for Grand Monarch Bone Piercer when his heart had been infused with his life power.

It was a pain that could pierce all the way into one’s origin through their bloodline!

ROAR!

Nie Tian let out wails of anguish and fury, standing atop the Mountain of Death.

Even though this was only a doppelgänger that had been separated from his Life-origin Form, it was forged from qi and blood that contained rich life power.

It was surprising that this overwhelming pain was spreading to his true form, despite the distance between them!

Then, through his true form, the pain was acting on the origin of his bloodline: that colossal heart!

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

The incredibly vast crimson heart pounded violently.

The numerous crystalline chains that were flying towards Nie Tian in an attempt to deprive him of his life bloodline were originally as straight as arrows. Now, however, they suddenly became wavy.

At the same time, gray spots started appearing on them, gradually filling these Bloodline Crystal Chains shooting madly from the origin of life...

It was hard to believe that the origin of death was actually spreading its death power to the origin of life, using Nie Tian’s doppelgänger and true form as a medium!

Now, its death power was actually attacking the Bloodline Crystal Chains the origin of life had shot at Nie Tian!

Nie Tian’s eyes opened wide.

With great clarity, he saw the Bloodline Crystal Chains seem to rot at an alarming rate as more and more gray spots appeared on them.

They looked like emerald tree branches that had gone through ten thousand years in a breath’s time!

A single gust of air would reduce them to ashes that scattered into the wind.

WHOOSH!

The Bloodline Crystal Chains suddenly turned to dust that scattered with countless pale-gray sparks.

The pale-gray sparks were a crystallization of refined death power that carried the profound truths of death. It was hard to believe that they actually came to shine in this crimson blood sea!

For eons, no matter how the origin of death had tried, it had never been able to send its crystallized death power through the layers of restrictions into this blood sea.

It should have been an impossible task.

However, who could have known that Nie Tian would rebel against the Sea of Life? By voluntarily joining the Mountain of Death and opening himself up to let death power pour into his doppelgänger, he successfully helped the crystallized death power enter the origin of life for the first time through the connection between his doppelgänger and true form.

At this moment, pale-gray death power had already filled every muscle and every meridian of his doppelgänger that was standing atop the Mountain of Death.

His heart, bones, and every organ that should have brimmed with life power had been infiltrated by the power of the origin of death.

Death power had already replaced life power as the master of this doppelgänger of his.

However, the true soul in his sea of awareness remained sober.

In fact, he had never felt so sober and clear-headed before.

He grinned and said, “Let me be the belt that connects life and death. Even if my life bloodline is taken away, and I become a pure human, it might not be a bad thing.”

He knew that the origin of life was completely and utterly enraged this time.

Even more thick Bloodline Crystal Chains shot out of the origin of life, braiding like numerous fierce dragons and vicious serpents.

Once again, they wrapped tightly around him.
