CHAPTER 545: CHAPTER 318: THE EARTH IMMORTAL’S REGRET (PART 2)

He spoke, "Even if there’s an Earth Immortal Flower blooming on the road ahead, don’t stop, don’t let this bring further complications!"

After calming down, people felt lingering fear.

"Terrifying, such a being, to reach such a height, there’s reason for it, being so ruthless on oneself, digging out Immortal Bones, stripping off one’s own skin."

"If I were an Earth Immortal, overlooking Yewu World, carefree in the mortal world, why would I suffer such agony."

Someone refuted, "Standing at different heights naturally leads to different pursuits and ambitions. After becoming an Earth Immortal, there’s still the pressure of Heavenly Immortals above, for those who can become Earth Immortals, it’s certain they’ve always stood on the pinnacle amidst clouds, if there’s a chance to change fate, they won’t bow lightly to Heavenly Immortals."

Jin Yuan said, "Do not doubt, those who can become Earth Immortals, Heavenly Gods have great courage, they are the most formidable figures of their respective eras."

Qian Yuan nodded in agreement, "In ancient times, those who dared to sever their own Immortal Body, Divine Body for those not uncommon. For instance, at those immortal dojos, changing Divine Bone and repairing Immortal Skin for elite Power Warriors, where do those materials come from? Even for Great Sects, they surely wouldn’t casually capture Immortals or hunt Gods. Moreover, those Gods and Immortals could very well be their Ancestor Masters. In that era, there were quite a few Gods and Immortals who voluntarily returned, after the residual consciousness on discarded Divine Bones, Immortal Skins gradually faded, some eventually became materials."

Many nodded, believing his words made sense.

Yet, where are those returned Immortals and Gods now?

In the end, did these beings advance further, or did they completely vanish after failure?

If scrutinized, even the familiar regions, the waters run deep.

Suddenly, someone looked shockingly at the land beneath the Night Fog, saying, "Senior, did an Earth Immortal Flower truly appear?"

On the ground, brilliant rain of light rose, a celestial blossom was blooming, beams of light piercing the sky, incredibly sacred.

Jin Yuan said, "Quickly leave, this land bears no grass, for ten thousand miles there’s no Fire Spring, how could an Earth Immortal Flower emerge? We probably... haven’t escaped that thing yet!"

Indeed, as they departed, that celestial blossom’s location was merely mist, with a bloodstained human skin soaring skyward, emanating sinister whispers and laughter.

"Laughter echoing from my heart!" Some felt a chill from head to toe, goosebumps arose.

"The human skin abandoned by an Earth Immortal, does it harbor remnants of negative emotions, carrying resentment? Why doesn’t it entangle with its maker, but rather pursue us?"

In the following two days, they frequently saw that bloodstained human skin, eye sockets empty, bleeding from seven orifices, drifting in the night, following them on the road.

Qian Yuan reassured everyone, "It’s fine, it hasn’t fully formed a presence yet, most likely unable to harm us, or it would have acted already."

Yet, people remained uneasy in their hearts, here there were no Ancestor Masters, nor any Great Grandmasters of the Peak stage of Fifth Realm, only two healing Grandmasters of the Mid stage of Fifth Realm, always feeling it wasn’t secure enough.

On the third day, when some fell into slumber, they met the bloodstained human skin in their dreams, nightmares incessantly draining one’s spirit.

"Senior, do you know Liu Mo?" Qin Ming also encountered it in his dreams, but it was useless to try and connect.

In the end, it was through his own resilient spiritual will that he forcibly broke free from the nightmare’s entanglement.

On the fourth day, Jin Yuan and Qian Yuan simultaneously gazed ahead on the spaceship, then their faces changed suddenly, shouting, "Prepare for battle!"

In the pitch-black night sky, dense Exotic Birds, Flying Beasts, over two hundred riders, on them sat members of the Human Clan, Two-headed Werewolves, Fire Lizards, and others.

"Hunters, even a small group of humans!" Instantly, everyone was stunned.

"Could this be another illusion from that human skin?"

"No, enemy attack, prepare to break through!"

The bloodstained human skin indeed appeared, waking the resting team on the road, then, they ascended to intercept.

"Kill them all, avenge our ancestors!" Among the Hunters, a Grandmaster level figure shouted, leading the crowd in the charge.

In moments, two spaceships disintegrated, unable to resist their assault.

These were not warships, merely small rescue vessels, shattering into fragments in the night sky.

Qin Ming called Jin Yuan to ride the Thunder King Bird with him, breaking out from the shattered spaceship.

Many mounts from the two ships now carried people, fleeing into the thick Night Fog, realizing the situation was dire, engaging would certainly end in annihilation.

"Pursue them, let none escape!" An elder commanded fiercely.

A brutal melee erupted without warning.

On Qin Ming’s side, totaling over a hundred, yet less than half of the opposing numbers, the crucial point was they were patients who left the Desert last, naturally the most severely injured group.

Though many days had passed, everyone still hadn’t recovered.

During the battle, through emotional resonance, Qin Ming roughly understood the situation.

Several Ancestor Masters, along with Sun Elf Clan experts, headed westwards, decimating the Hunter’s lair completely.

However, some Hunters remained outside, upon hearing the grievous news, they almost went insane, but they lacked the power to retaliate against Grandmaster level experts.

Finally, they split into several groups, setting out successively, heading to Shenshang plain to seek allegiance with the Demon Monster Civilization, and revenge their old enemies.

Qin Ming’s group departed later, encountering a force midway.

This was a brutal and bloody battle, over a hundred heavily injured, bodies inherently problematic, people kept getting killed alongside their mounts.
