Re:Immortal

Chapter 86

Ever since he started playing the 'Immortal' all those years ago, Omis had never really paid any heed to how the world was structured. He had always assumed it was made as a sphere, and while he was curious about the layout of the heavens, he never truly minded not knowing.

Yet right there in front of his eyes, Omis's whole understanding of the world shattered with what he saw.

The mortal plane was a giant flat mass of land. It was indeed round but it was flat. It looked like a floating continent!

Omis stared at it baffled, the thing that shocked him the most were the heavenly realm, it was visible!

Right above the mortal plane, a distance away was a giant planet hidden behind a sea of white clouds. Omis could see the red clouds that plagued the realm all around it.

As he stood there in space, Omis found himself growing more confused by the second. If he could see the Heavenly realm from here, why was it no visible from the mortal plane? It was too huge to miss!

And what about the 'Underworld'? Was it situated under the continent that is the mortal plane? More questions seemed to form up in his mind yet he still found no answers.

Pulling out his black and white amulet, Omis watched the thin purple line lead straight into the giant planet above which only served to confirm his guess, that was indeed the heavenly realm.

Scanning the space around him, Omis was disappointed as he found no signs of life in their surroundings, he could only feel them coming from the Mortal and Heavenly plane.

Shrugging, he quickly followed the thread and flew towards the Heavens in the hopes of reuniting with his group.

As Omis drew closer to the giant planet, the first layer of white clouds that hid it appeared to form a barrier of sorts that closed in on him stopping him from moving forward.

Frowning, he slowly reached his hand and gently tapped on the barrier, a strange repelling force however pushed it away causing his frown to deepen.

"Strange, the barrier appears to divert my Qi away."

Seeing that using his Qi was useless, Omis suddenly closed his eyes as he tapped into the power of his clone willing the chaos energy into the tip of his finger.

As soon as his finger made contact with the barrier, something extraordinary happened, the clouds twisted and shifted before forming into a cloud passage that allowed him to move inside.

Confused, Omis glanced at his finger with wonder before shaking his head and flying inside the newly formed passage.

His descent into the planet was strangely smooth, he faced no 'Hive' minions, not a trace of the monster he faced before. It was surprisingly quiet,

*ROOOOOAAR*

It was then that an earth-shaking roar came from the clouds below causing Omis to frown, he watched as a familiar giant fin broke through the sea of clouds followed by its aura of a late-stage Immortal Venerable.

Seeing the monster that had frightened him when he had just arrived in this world again caused a small smile to make its way unto his face as he watched it swim through the clouds with a malicious glint in his eyes.

A devilish thought befell Omis as he instantly shot forward towards the giant fish monster. As if feeling the looming danger, the fish fin hurriedly tried to dive under the clouds alas it was already too late.

---------------------------------------------------

On top of a medium-sized celestial mountain, Omis sat around a bonfire, next to him was the corpse of a colossal fish monster, its face was hideous and seemed to be able to bring shivers down the spine of whoever stared at it.

The monster's skin was bluish, its corpse was laid curled around Omis occupying the entire mountain peak.

He sat around the fire with a small part of the fish meat stabbed in a stick as he unhurriedly toasted it.

After a while, a pleasant aroma drifted from the meat causing him to look at the piece in his hands with anticipation.

He gently moved it closer to his mouth and took a bite before his face changed and twisted into a disgusted expression, he quickly turned to the side and spat it out of his mouth.

"Bah, that's the most disgusting thing I ever had in my life!"

Shaking his head, Omis tapped into his spatial storage pulled a gourd of wine, popping the lid open the strong wine aroma promptly filled the entire mountain peak.

Taking a large gulp, Omis's eyes squinted in satisfaction.

"Ah, that's better."

Bringing out the small black and white Amulet once again, he peeked at the direction where the thread led to before suddenly remembering something.

"That's right! How did I forget about that guy!"

Tapping into his spatial space once more, Omis quickly pulled out the small golden soul of Aidan. He had his eyes closed as the light coming off his soul was dim, seemingly on the verge of disappearing completely.

Seeing that Omis felt a little embarrassed, souls generally could not survive in the spatial storage for long, since Aidan's one was that of a God realm cultivator he was stronger than the rest hence was able to survive for so long, yet even so he was already at his limit.

Looking at the trembling soul in his hands, Omis gently tapped into the chaos energy inside his clone's body before willing towards Aidan'.

As soon as the two met, Aidan's soul rapidly regained its healthy golden color as his eyes shuddered and jerked open.

His gaze seemed cloudy at first before he glanced at Omis, his face rapidly changed into an expression of shock and disbelief.

"Y-You?"

Looking at Aidan's shocked face, Omis felt it to be a little strange as he muttered.

"Hmm?"

"You, You joined us?!" Asked Aidan with a dumbfounded expression, his finger shaking as he pointed towards Omis in doubt.

Hearing what Aidan said caused him to grow even more confused before asking.

"What are you talking about?"

"Huh? You didn't?! But then why do I sense the power of the primordial energy from you!?" Asked Aidan with a gasp.

"The primordial energy? You mean this?" Saying that Omis opening his palm where a small stream of chaos energy started gently floating within, seeing that Aidan's eyes appeared to almost pop out of his skull as he looked to be on the verge of fainting.
