Chapter 1771: No More Restraint (1/2)

In front of the colossal heart, Nie Tian somehow sensed the Tree of Life...

He grinned. “Curious. This is so very curious.”

BOOM! BOOM!

The green and emerald sparks clashed with each other in his bloodline aura in a violent manner.

His feeling of being restrained by the origin of life was suddenly gone!

“Now, come back!” He let out an explosive roar while loosening his shoulders and arms.

WHOOSH! A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering flesh aura burst forth from within him!

In the next moment, the Bloodline Crystal Chains that had shot from the origin of life to wrap tightly around him shook violently as the blood-colored light that was flowing through them was instantly reversed!

It started flowing back into him at a fast speed!

The flesh power that had been taken from him now returned to him!

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

One crimson lightning bolt after another shot out of him to brutally sever the crystalline chains that wrapped around his body and connected to the colossal heart.

Nie Tian took a deep breath and let out a long laugh facing the origin of life, the exhaustion and frustration in his eyes completely gone.

WHOOSH!

Atop the Mountain of Death, his true soul suddenly broke free from his doppelgänger, which was now bereft of any life force.

As it rose into the void, the River of Souls flowed over from the distance and received it.

“Engrave!” His true soul exclaimed together with his Life-origin Form, which was in the Sea of Life.

Immediately afterwards, the numerous green and emerald sparks and Bloodline Crystal Chains in his heart experienced new changes.

Refined crimson flesh power started pouring madly into his heart from his internal organs, muscles, and bones.

The crystalline chains that made up his bloodline aura, which now were a mixture of green and emerald, started turning crimson!

CRACK! CRACK!

Crisp cracking sounds came from his bones all over as his Life-origin Form started shrinking.

However, the wondrous aura in his heart that embodied his life bloodline slowly changed to match the color of his heart, which was crimson.

Green was the color of the Blood Father of the Spirit World. Emerald was the color of the Tree of Life.

Crimson was his own color!

It was also the color of the Sea of Life, the color of the origin of life!

“Hahaha!”

In the depths of the blood sea, Nie Tian laughed so hard that tears were coming out of his eyes.

He pointed at the colossal heart in front of him and said, “The imprints you gave the Blood Father of the Spirit World were green. He’s the one who takes your every order and enforces your will without asking any questions. So you assumed that since my bloodline aura was green, it meant that I inherited my life bloodline from him, and I’d be subject to your manipulation.”

“Then, you know that it was the Tree of Life that had me created. I suppose that’s largely the reason why you wouldn’t make me your first choice, right?

“Hehe, it’s true that the Tree of Life stole the wonders of life regarding fleshly beings from the Blood Father of the Spirit World, which you bestowed upon him. However, it also made a contingency plan when I was created.

“Those emerald crystalline chains that have been hidden so well over the years that even I didn’t perceive their existence were its ultimate countermeasure!”

At this moment, Nie Tian realized why he had been able to condense his wood power spiritual core and embark on his journey of wood power cultivation so smoothly after he had awakened his life bloodline.

He also realized the underlying reason why the Floragrims felt naturally close to him.

The fact that he was able to learn and use the Floragrims’ Heavenly Wood Heal and Wood Thriving Formation and nourish his wood power spiritual core with his flesh aura was all because of the wonders the Tree of Life had hidden in the deepest part of his life bloodline.

It was just that he hadn’t really thought about the reasons behind this, and the hidden power hadn’t manifested before.

“The truth is that it has guarded against me from the beginning. It’s aware that you or the Blood Father of the Spirit World might turn me against it one day.
