Re:Immortal

Back in the mortal plane, the heads of the three holy lands, the Sword devil of the sword mount sect alongside the Old monster of the Void sect, and the patriarch of the Bai clan had put their differences aside and joined in together in an unseen before alliance.

Their alliance’s goal was the protection of the mortal plane from the aftermath of the war in the heavenly realm, no one knew how bad things could get, yet since the Immortal mentor himself made an appearance and warned them about it, none dared take it lightly.

After countless meetings, the three holy lands finally decided on their course of action. Every sect under the heavens led by the three holy lands of the cultivation world would come together to form one giant formation that would serve as a shield to the entire continent.

The scale of such formation was massive, the sheer amount of people needed to form it was immeasurable, luckily, with the threat of the heavenly war looming above their heads, and since no one came up with a better plan, the mortal cultivators banded together for the first time in history and raised a giant formation to cover the continent.

Each sect and clan no matter how small served as a point in the formation, while the three holy lands served as the main parts with each patriarch controlling a significant part of the formation.

The entire continent became surrounded by a giant transparent shield, that looked like a net covering the lands. Millions of cultivators came together to help power the formation as they waited.

Once the formation was erected, each clan and sect closed their doors as they turned their attention to the skies, each too busy with maintaining their part of the formation. No one knew how long this would prevail, nor did anyone know when the fight of the Immortals would end, yet no one wished to see their home destroyed in the aftermath. And so they waited, all the while keeping their heads up to the skies.

Back in the Bai clan mountain, the old patriarch was sitting down at the peak surrounded by all of the elders, a stream of light could be seen extending from the elder's bodies linking them to the patriarch who in turn had one large stream of energy flowing from his body and into the skies as he watched over his side of the formation.

Everyone had their eyes closed in concentration when suddenly shouts from disciples who were meditating at the foot of the mountain grew louder. The patriarch feeling that something was wrong opened his eyes and gazed at the sky, the elders all raising their heads in unison.

“W-W-What in the name-” Exclaimed an elder, his words got stuck in his throat as his mouth hanged open.

He was not alone, all the elders had shocked expressions on their faces with the patriarch seemingly about to faint from shock, how could he not, the sky was split open!

The blue sky that was there moments ago seemed to have been cleaved in half, revealing what’s behind. Great red clouds and broken celestial mountains could be seen way above their heads.

That was not all, everyone present could see an army of Immortals fighting against one another, their clash shocking to the extreme caused the air itself to break as countless void tears opened and closed.

The scene above their heads in the sky seemed like the end of the world, it plunged the entire mortal plane into deathly silence as everyone without exception raised their heads to the sky.

The heavens had descended! When the Immortals fought, what could mere mortals do but cower? No one was an exception. For the first time in history, heaven was visible to the mortal world!

“A-Am I dreaming?” Muttered an elder in disbelief.

No one had the luxury to reply as none had regained their senses, “Is this the end of the world?” Asked another elder.

“Is this the world of Gods?” Muttered the Bai clan’s first elder.

The sky was now a battlefield, loud explosions akin to the roll of thunder echoed throughout the mortal world resounding in everyone’s ears and causing their hearts to tighten in their chests.

It appeared that the barrier that kept the two planes separated was now broken allowing the mortal cultivators to peer into the collapsed heavenly realm.

All across the plane, countless mortals and cultivators alike dropped to their knees in worship, the fight above their heads was that of Gods and Immortals, a fight where they had no place.

Suddenly the words of the Immortal mentor seemed to echo in everyone’s ears. The Void sect was the first to come out of their daze, their part of the formation shining brightly, soon the Bai clan followed after as the old patriarch regained his senses, lastly was the sword mount sect.

With the lead of the three holy lands, the massive formation surrounding the mortal plane shone brighter, the countless smaller sects and clans followed their lead. Although none seemed to have truly got over the shocking battlefield above their heads, they had no choice but to their best to protect their home for even the shockwaves of the fight of Gods was not something they could manage.

Back at the heavenly realm, Omis glanced at the opened hole that suddenly appeared and pushed the clouds apart revealing the mortal plane, before he turned his gaze towards Addi who had an awkward expression on his face.

“Forget it, this is ridiculous.” He sighed in defeat.

After the veil between the two planes was broken and seeing that there was no attack on them, Krano and the ‘Hunters’ quickly re-engaged in their fight.

This time, the ‘Hunters’ were down by one, as Omis brought his cauldron back, and rushed towards the remaining glowing figure, Addi to his left and Tizzy to his right with both Eva and Li following closely behind them.

Seeing them rushing towards him, the figure’s body glowed even brighter as he flew to meet them head-on, a loud roar full of rage escaped his mouth.

Addi swiftly disappeared inside another Void tear, while Tizzy positioned himself at the front before throwing another palm strike that made the figure pause momentarily, Addi then reappeared to its side forcing him to block his blow when Omis followed right after him as he wielded his invisible blade, thunder surrounded him as he descended on the glowing figure.

“Die!”
