Chapter 123
Countless enormous rocks of various sizes were falling down from the 'Underworld' ceiling, the sight extremely shocking as it appeared as if it was the end of the world.
The realm was unable to stand the intensity of the previous fight between the God realm cultivators slowly began to collapse, as the ceiling came crashing down like meteors plummeting towards the ground, countless void tears opened and closed as they swallowed the ground itself.
In the middle of all of this, standing alone in the air was the figure of Omis, his features had already reverted back to normal, leaving him with black and white hair, the previous horn nowhere to be found.
His dignified expression suddenly fell as he plunged from the sky and into the ground causing a giant crater to appear. His face paled as he coughed blood.
The previous attack he used was his most powerful one, he was still unable to control it completely, and it came with a price, his body was seriously injured as he was unable to handle the strain of summoning the holy land.
"Shit, I shouldn't have done that." He mumbled, his eyes glancing at the sky that seemed to be collapsing.
"Beautiful." He unconsciously muttered, the scene in front of him seemed to carry a strange sense of chaotic beauty, with countless of void tears opening and closing, the realm slowly collapsing on itself.
A faint shield made out of his Divine qi surrounded him as it repelled the giant rocks falling from the sky. He had no more energy to move, only able to summon this small shield to protect him.
A sigh escaped his lips, as he found himself thinking about his past and present, various faces flashed before his eyes, Silas, Leyla, Dina, Tizzy, Addi, and Lu Lu, before finally, one face remained.
"Liam, I'm sorry..." He said, his voice came out as a whisper as he lowered his head, his shield flickering seemingly about to disappear.
It was then that a loud voice boomed in the sky causing him to look up in shock. The aura of the newcomer was that of a God realm cultivator!
"What the hell are you sitting down there all depressed for?" Asked Addi, as he walked out of the void.
His hollow white eyes glanced at Omis, a slight smirk on his face as he spoke.
"Well? Did I miss all the fun?" He asked as he turned to glance at the collapsing realm.
"Damn, you really went overboard." He added as he took a step in the air his figure turning into a blur as he almost instantly appeared in front of Omis who was looking at him with a blank expression.
"Told ya I'd catch up." Grinned Addi before grabbing him by the arm and helping him up.
Omis's face quickly paled once more as he violently began coughing blood, not waiting for him to stop, Addi quickly stuffed a pill in his mouth and took to the skies.
"No time to waste, you focus on stabilizing your injuries, I'll get us out of here." He said.
Omis nodded, before answering with a low voice. "Thank you..."
"There's no need for thanks between us little brother." Grinned Addi.
Grabbing Omis by the arm, Addi quickly opened a portal in the middle of the unstable realm before jumping inside with Omis without any hesitation.
The duo soon reappeared high above in the sky, near the giant flickering gate of the 'Underworld'. Omis and Addi threw one final glance at the collapsing realm before jumping inside and disappearing.
The duo then reappeared inside a mountain within the Mortal plane, near the Song Kingdom, due to the unstable space they weren't teleported to their destination but were send elsewhere, thankfully they were not separated.
"What happened to everyone?" Asked Omis.
"I met them when they just left the 'Underworld' Lu Lu briefed me about everything that happened." Solemnly replied Addi with a frown.
"She just recovered and you are already making her worry this much about you." Glared Addi at him.
Omis chuckled bitterly as he tried to suppress his injuries that threatened to flare up before asking.
"You seem unhappy with my decisions?"
"Hmph, you're lucky you are injured right now else I'd have you taste my fists. What were you thinking facing one of those glowy bastards alone?!" He growled.
"We had no choice." Answered Omis with a shake of his head, causing Addi to let out a dissatisfied harrumph before continuing.
"And what's this I hear about working with the bastards from the 'Hive'?" He asked, his killing intent slowly seeped out causing the mountain to rumble, yet Omis was unaffected as he replied with a bitter smile.
"It's our only chance brother, and you out of all people should know that." He said.
"Pah, I'd rather die than work with them." Spat out Addi in annoyance, yet his killing intent slowly subdued before disappearing completely, causing a slight chuckle to escape from Omis's lips.
"That little brat survived as well." He added.
"Leyla?" Asked Omis.
"Yes, we were both heading to the 'Underworld' when we met with Tizzy and the group, he seems to have decided to move the injured and those that won't be participating in the war over to Silas's place, the alchemist was with them as well. They'll hole up over there and ride out the storm."
"Then let's go, we can't waste any more time here." Said Omis as he tried to stand up before Addi walked over and pushed him back down by the head.
"Sit down you suicidal idiot, they'll be waiting for us at Silas's place, Tizzy won't make any rash moves now that we have another God realm amongst our ranks." Proudly said Addi.
"Hoh, look at you acting all high as mighty, don't forget I broke through first and I'm higher level than you, so you better call me senior!" Grinned Omis.
"Senior my ass, needing me to save you, tch aren't you embarrassed?" Answered Addi with a shake of his head.
"I'll have you know that I had everything under control!" Rebuked Omis.
"Yes, yes, everything under control he says. Heh, should have seen yourself when I arrived." Chuckled Addi.
Soon the duo was laughing together before Omis suddenly spoke with a serious tone.
"Addi."
"En?"
"Thank you."
Smiling, he replied. "Don't mention it."
