I could clearly feel that the Tree of Life had pierced through Vici’s body.
At this moment, I was also gambling, because I had reached my limit, and I had held on for too long.
I didn’t know now if my Tree of Life could completely defeat Vici, but this was the only method I could think of at the moment.
Vici, who had assimilated with the Tree of Life, could no longer be considered human. This guy’s power had far exceeded my imagination.
I couldn’t move him, and I couldn’t escape, so I could only fight with my life.
The two of us were locked in a stalemate. I could clearly feel that Vici’s strength seemed to have loosened a bit.
But this did not alleviate my pain.
At this time, my condition was already on the verge of death.
What was the situation with my internal organs? I didn’t dare to look down at all. I could only rely on my last bit of strength, placing all my hopes on the Tree of Life.
If it weren't for the fact that I had experienced countless deaths, my willpower might not have been able to resist now.
“Lu Ziye… Lu Ziye…” Vici looked at me and suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, “You want to make me laugh to death, don’t you? Hahaha! Don’t you know what I want?”
I suddenly realized.
What this guy wanted was the half of the Tree of Life in my body, and now I had actually given the Tree of Life away so directly.
Even if it was to pierce his body, the result was the same.
Although I had indeed heavily wounded him, the Tree of Life was also taken out by me…
“I really don’t know what language to use to thank you…” Vici laughed heartily, “Next, I’ll tell you what will happen…”
“When the missing part of life re-fuses, it becomes the complete Tree of Life, and both sides devour each other. The one who wins becomes dominant…” Vici looked at me, “You are about to die…”
As he spoke, a terrifying power re-condensed within his body. He ignored his wounds and raised his palm, slashing fiercely towards my neck.
Endless despair engulfed me.
But I had no choice…
All the moves I could use had basically been used, and all the methods I could apply had been utilized.
If I still couldn’t kill him, no matter how much I struggled, the outcome would be the same.
I deeply felt Vici’s withered palm land on my neck. I closed my eyes, quietly sensing the final moments of my life.
The wind was gentle, the force was light…
The force was light?
I suddenly opened my eyes and looked at Vici in front of me. Vici’s face was full of disbelief.
“How is this possible… How… how is this possible…” Vici took a few steps back, and the palm on my abdomen was also withdrawn.
The intense pain almost made me faint, but I gritted my teeth.
But I could feel that my life was also running out.
As Vici retreated, the disbelief on his face slowly turned into fear, and then into despair.
“No… no… impossible… how could you have repaired the Tree of Life to this state?” Vici stared at me, “Lu Ziye, Lu Ziye, tell me what you did!”
I looked at him blankly. To be honest, I didn’t quite understand what he meant now.
“No… I can’t die. Clearly, I should be the one who succeeded… Clearly, I should be the one who becomes the master of the world…” Vici shook his head desperately, “This must be an illusion… I can’t die here…”
My gaze was fixed on him. I clearly saw that the place where the Tree of Life had pierced Vici’s body began to change.
The bark-like skin gradually returned to normal, and then blood flowed out.
This normalcy spread to every corner of his body, and finally, he returned to his original appearance.
But at the same time, his aura had also withered to the extreme.
At this moment, in front of me, he was like an ordinary person.
But I found that it wasn’t just that. I clearly saw Vici’s face gradually become haggard, gradually become old.
The black hair gradually turned white.
Wrinkles began to appear on his face, and within a few breaths, he became an old man with white hair.
His teeth began to fall out, and his body became emaciated.
There was no muscle left on his body; he was skin and bones.
He looked like a dying old man who had been tormented by illness for countless years.
“I…” Vici struggled to raise his hand, but he had no strength left, “I… won’t…”
As he spoke, he looked at the Tree of Life on his chest. From my angle, I could only see the lower half of the Tree of Life, the part I had inserted into his body.
“Lu Ziye…” Vici gasped for air, “I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect it to turn out this way…”
I didn’t speak, because at this time, I had also lost all my strength.
The pain in my internal organs, coupled with the severe blood loss, had brought me to my limit.
I staggered back two steps, then sat down on the ground, my face extremely pale.
“The cockpit… there’s… something… you can…” Vici used his last bit of strength, grabbed the half of the Tree of Life on his chest with both hands, and then exerted great force.
The Tree of Life, covered in blood, was directly pulled out.
After such a long time, I finally saw the complete Tree of Life again.
However, this Tree of Life was almost no different from the beginning; its bare branches still looked desolate.
“I didn’t expect… in the end, I was the one who lost…” Vici looked at me and fell backward.
He held the complete Tree of Life in his hand, but he could no longer draw any energy from it.
I struggled to stand up, only to find that my breathing was becoming more and more difficult.
The world gradually lost its color, my mind was chaotic, and my body became incredibly heavy.
Despite all my efforts, I could only fall to the ground.
The last scene that appeared before my eyes was, in a world that had lost its color, a patch of green spread out…
The green turned dark green, and then completely black, and the world was completely engulfed by black.
I felt as if I had fallen into a bottomless abyss, constantly falling… falling…
Past events flashed before my eyes, all of it seemed to happen before me, as if a long time had passed.
Finally, at a certain moment, I was completely swallowed by the darkness, and I also seemed to have become a part of the darkness…
