Re:Immortal

"It should be here." Muttered Omis.

He was standing in the air as his eyes glanced at the floating mountain below. The thread from the amulet was pointing him towards inside the mountain.

He first extended his divine sense to scan the area for any sort of dangers, once he was sure that there were none his body disappeared with a woosh before reappearing above the mountain.

"Hmmm, the thread is definitely pointing here but I can't feel Lu Lu's energy. It's very well hidden." He nodded before stomping his right foot at the ground.

*Booom*

As the dust cleared out, a giant hole was left in the place where Omis had trampled on. Just as he was about to jump inside a black eastern dragon suddenly pounced from the hole unto him.

Surprised, Omis unconsciously circulated his Qi towards his right hand and threw a punch at the dragon.

*BOOM*

An even louder explosion rocked the surrounding area as the dragon exploded pushing Omis back a little, as dust flared up, a beam of light hurriedly escaped from the hole and into the distance.

"Oh? That's Silas isn't it." Chuckled Omis before taking one step forward.

His body seemed to turn hazy going from corporal to being able to merge with his surroundings. He then immediately disappeared from his place only to reappear in front of Silas blocking him from going any further.

Silas's eyes widened as he saw the space in front of him break and Omis calmly walking out of it. Seeing that, his body came to an abrupt halt. Omis was able to see that Silas was holding Lu Lu in his arms as he ran away.

Giving out a wide smile he spoke.

"Master Silas, it is great to see you are safe."

Letting out a long tired sigh, Silas sent Lu Lu floating to Omis, his facial expression suddenly turned into a relaxed one as he raised his head towards the sky.

"Master Omis, you almost gave me a heart attack..." He said while shaking his head.

Scratching the back of his head, Omis let out an awkward laugh before apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think you were with Lu Lu." He said as his eyes glanced down. Her eyes were still closed and Omis was able to feel the primordial energy rampaging inside her body.

'Since she is trying to expel the primordial energy out of her body, perhaps I can help?' He thought.

Omis was after all a God realm cultivator in both Qi and primordial energy! Something like expelling the energy out of her body should not be very hard, right?

"Master Omis, what are you so deep in thought about?" Asked Silas as he came floating closer to him.

"It's a long story, why don't we settled down first and i'll tell you." He answered back. Giving out a nod in reply, the duo flew back towards the broken mountain with Omis still carrying Lu Lu in his arms.

"So, what is it that you want to talk about?" Asked Silas in curiosity.

"It's like this..."

****

"T-That's ridiculous!" Said Silas.

After listening to Omis's story about his journey, when he has met with the 'Hive' and when he was invited to their capital. He was having a hard time controlling his emotion.

Letting out a sigh, Omis nodded.

"I know, I'm still quite confused myself."

"But still, 'the hunters'? 'The outsiders?'" Said Silas while rubbing his chin deep in thought.

"There's still the possibility of all of that being fake." Replied Omis.

Nodding Silas continued.

"While that is true, we can not overlook the probability of it being the truth. This is the first-ever clue about our circumstances!"

"Hmm, the outsiders and the Hive. Then there is us." Muttered Omis.

The duo was sitting down cross-legged on praying mats, facing each other on top of the floating mountain. Lu Lu was also seated next to Omis.

"What about the others?" Asked Omis.

"I don't know about the white devil, but when that monster attacked, I was barely able to send Leyla towards the mortal realm." Replied Silas with a serious expression.

"Hmm, Addi is undoubtedly still alright. He was the one that sent me away." Said Omis.

"Well then let's head down to the mortal realm?"

"En, head down meet this alchemist and grab Leyla."

Nodding Silas continued.

"What about the white devil?"

"Addi can take care of himself, we don't know where he was sent to exactly so it's best we head back down to the 'Underworld' and wait for him there."

"So be it!"

"Before we go, I want to try something first." Said Omis.

"Oh?"

Taking a deep breath in preparation, he slowly began to move his primordial energy. Omis had explained what happened to him to Silas, yet he also refrained from sharing some details, such as the fact that he now had a second body.

While he did trust him, it was also good to leave some trump cards to himself. One could never be too careful.

As the primordial energy began to circulate through his body, his left eye suddenly began to change color into its usual red one causing Silas to watch in complete shock.

'The aura surrounding him has changed!' He could feel a wild dangerous aura emitting out of Omis's body causing his heart to start beating widely in his chest.

Oblivious to such matters, Omis moved his hand over Lu Lu's head as he began to order the primordial energy in her body out.

Surprisingly, it was easy! As soon as the energy inside her body came in contact with his own, it hurriedly ran out like a frightened mouse.

Lu Lu's expression also turned to the better, yet she still did not wake up. Omis could feel it. While he did expel the energy that was still rampaging inside her body, some of it had already integrated with her own organs!

If he was to risk removing that, he might end up hurting Lu Lu instead. Letting out a sigh, Omis muttered to himself.

”Looks like we will have to meet this alchemist after all.”

****

It did not take long before, Omis with Lu Lu in his arms, and Silas were flying through the air. Their destination? The gate to the mortal realm. Along the way, the group stumbled upon countless void cracks that seemingly opened out of thin air and threatened to swallow them.

But with Omis taking the lead, they were able to skillfully avoid them and continue their journey. Void cracks, however, proved to not be the only thing they had to worry about.

They had also stumbled upon numerous 'Hive' patrols, yet the surprising thing was that whenever they caught a glimpse of Omis they would hurriedly jump out of the way and shout.

"We greet the primordial God! May the void always lead you home!"

The first couple of times almost gave Silas a heart attack, yet he had slowly grown numb to it. His respect for Omis growing by leaps and bounds, to be able to gain the admiration of the 'hive' was an absurd thing to do!

And just like that, their trip was going smoothly with them almost reaching the gate when suddenly ’they’ appeared...
