Morphology

ultraterrene = terrene (semi-transparent) = ultra + terrene

From 'terrene' with the prefix 'ultra-', the literal sense 'beyond earthly' clearly points toward 'otherworldly', though the spiritual nuance is somewhat interpretive.

Etymology

Ultraterrene combines ultra- 'beyond' and terra 'earth', so you can think of it as 'beyond the earth' in feeling. That's why ultraterrene is used for things that seem spiritual, heavenly, or otherworldly.
