Chapter 544: Chapter 318: The Earth Immortal’s Regret

Even the most ignorant young disciples shuddered with horror as they gradually discerned a piece of human skin falling off within the colorful mist; it was certainly no good omen.

Soon, everyone saw the human skin break free from the passage’s range, drifting vividly alive in the fierce gusts of wind atop the sky.

“It seems to be… smiling at us!” a young girl’s face turned pale.

Once bloated, the human skin bore a blood-smeared mouth, blood dripping constantly, while its eyes resembled an abyss, nodding in acknowledgment amidst the gale.

The night was thick, above the firmament where nowhere else was visible, except for the area with the human skin glowing faintly, making the scene truly eerie and chilling.

“An old god’s smile, life or death hangs in the balance!” remarked an elder from the Immortal Road.

“Shut your mouth, don’t speak recklessly!” Qian Yuan reprimanded.

At this moment, both spaceships were already quickly leaving that area behind them, none had anticipated that while awaiting the mythical “Grotto Heaven” collapse hoping for opportunities, they would eventually encounter an immortal skin.

“It followed us!” someone murmured tremblingly.

The spaceship was fast, but the blood-drenched human skin was not slow either, floating closely behind.

Some keen-spirited individuals even seemed to hear a mournful sound, as if someone was calling for them to look back.

Now, everyone realized early discovered red energy substance in the passage was truly blood, associated with Immortals and Gods.

However, it wasn’t a creation, but more likely a type of “impure blood” expelled.

“Is someone returning from such existence… did we just happen to encounter one?”

“Why does it persist in chasing us? We haven’t shown it any malice.”

At this point, many voices were trembling.

Jin Yuan swore never to speak casually again in unknown domains and mysterious environments, lest his words come true.

Among the enormous colorful mist, thunder erupted, unclear whether Heavenly Thunder was striking foul entities or the unknown existence was causing such a massive commotion.

Then, many witnessed bones falling out, separating from the passage.

“Gasp!” some young disciples could no longer maintain their composure seeing this.

Those white bones had slight flesh attached, even with bloody threads, wobbling, a half skull with an open mouth, the “click” sound audible across vast spaces.

“Full speed ahead, activate extreme flight mode!” Jin Yuan shouted.

The captain responded, “This isn’t a warship, merely a small rescue ship, and it’s previously damaged; the ship may not withstand the overload mode.”

Qian Yuan insisted, “Under such circumstances, who can afford to care so much, speed up for a rapid escape!”

With no Grandmaster Level figures stationed, placing oneself in battle was suicidal; the only option was to flee desperately.

Not long ago, they were discussing the environmental conditions of surrounding domains, having heard of Earth Immortals playing chess with human skin in Northern Wilderness.

These are not stories; legends have truly become reality. Who can remain unafraid of the crimson human skin lurking behind?

The only good news was that the blood-streaked, flesh-laden white bone didn’t follow but fell into the night sky.

And, people found the distance between them and the human skin increased, even becoming somewhat blurry as the spaceship accelerated.

Yet they could confirm it still wobbled, drifting, persistently trailing their direction.

Some people even vaguely heard its laughter internally, akin to a millennial evil ghost’s sinister chuckle, extremely terrifying, causing even senior folks’ skin to crawl.

As the distance widened, people’s tension slightly eased.

Many calmed down significantly, Qin Ming spoke, “Could it be possible that while it tries to approach, having just been detached from its original form, its Primordial Qi is severely depleted, it’s actually powerless to pursue, merely being blown forward by these fierce gusts?”

“Makes sense.” Many nodded.

For now, at the highest celestial realm, the fierce gusts were extremely terrifying, without the ship’s external rune protection, many couldn’t endure.

Two Grandmasters blushed slightly, instructing a change in course to test.

Sure enough, the blood-dropping human skin vanished, no longer continued following.

“Originally anticipated a great opportunity, unexpectedly encountered a massive scare, if that human skin boarded the ship, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“It’s unclear what attitude such liberated ancient beings hold, perhaps still calm, or distorted and twisted; best avoid involvement.”

Everyone was very relieved, swiftly distancing.

A few genuine young ones belatedly comprehended what had happened, exclaiming, “That blood-colored human skin’s original form possibly belonged to an Earth Immortal or even mightier existence? Returning from mysterious realms to rebuild its true self, retracing past paths?”

Witnessing some youths still frightened, Qian Yuan sighed, “Be content, to witness this scene with your own eyes and safely flee; we’re indeed fortunate.”

Jin Yuan spoke, “See now, the Earth Immortal has regrets! It further affirms Ancestor Masters’ choice was correct. If one step wrong, looking back, forget about vast ocean time changes, most people and things are different, attempting to amend the past would demand more than tenfold the price.”

Qin Ming pondered and felt he made a good point.

Because he had seen instances.

Black and White Mountain, Shuangshu Village, Liu Mo has yet to awaken, five hundred years passed, he hasn’t fully reborn.

Ensuring no blood-soaked human skin was pursuing, Qian Yuan relaxed, ordered the spaceship to descend altitude, adjust direction, and swiftly embark on the return journey.
