589. The Golden Crow Taoist’s Shock!

589. The Golden Crow Taoist’s Shock!

One-fifth, two-fifths, three-fifths...

The decree, summoned by the Golden Crow Taoist, threatened to destroy the Phoenix's body. Within moments, the Phoenix's physical form was nearly eighty percent obliterated. Just a few more strands of golden light, and the Phoenix would indeed perish.

The Golden Crow Taoist felt a shiver in his heart. He knew the True Immortal decree was powerful, but its strength, which far exceeded his expectations, startled him.

The Phoenix, slightly stronger than him moments ago, was unable to withstand the devastating power of the decree. Below a True Immortal, all were mere ants—this wasn't just an expression.

The Phoenix, supposedly immortal and able to be reborn from ashes, was now suppressed from regenerating by Taihao's decree. With each decrement in its physical form, the Phoenix edged closer to its demise.

"Could it be that I am truly going to die?" the Phoenix pondered in a daze. It had endured countless hardships to escape a True Monarch-level world, only to face potential obliteration now. In hindsight, it wondered if escaping had been a mistake. With Taihao in power, the fate of the Phoenix seemed sealed. Such was the might of a True Immortal!

As the Phoenix neared complete annihilation by the decree, something unexpected happened. Ripples appeared in the void, and then, to the astonishment of all, the fabric of space was pierced.

A hand emerged forcefully from within the spatial pathway. This hand, indescribable in its presence, swelled in the wind and quickly transformed into a gigantic hand that eclipsed the sun.

The hand then moved decisively towards Taihao's decree. The Golden Crow Taoist was shocked. Who would dare to intervene against a True Immortal decree?

Once a decree was enacted, even he dared not come close, for any interference would redirect the decree's deadly power against the interloper. Anyone not a True Immortal would undoubtedly perish.

Yet, this gigantic hand showed no fear and grasped directly at Taihao's decree. A thunderous "boom" echoed as the decree emitted a blinding light as if sensing a significant threat. Despite its dazzling brightness, it was nothing before the colossal hand, which effortlessly seized the decree.

With a "pfft," the decree shattered, disintegrating into nothingness, and the void returned to normal as if nothing had happened. The Phoenix reverted to human form and swiftly began to regenerate its body. The massive hand slowly retracted and disappeared back into the void.

A figure then stepped out from the spatial pathway, fixing its gaze upon the Golden Crow Taoist. In an instant, the Taoist felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. The pressure was so immense it almost suffocated him.

With Lin Fei willing to assist in resolving the matter, the Phoenix had to face Taihao.

"Everything as the Leader decides," the Phoenix conceded.

"Very well, to Taihao Palace we go!" Lin Fei and the Phoenix, in just a few words, set their plan.

The Golden Crow Taoist, however, widened his eyes in shock, unable to believe what he was witnessing.

They were willingly going to meet Taihao True Immortal? Wasn't that akin to seeking death?

The wrath of a True Immortal was not to be taken lightly. Even though Lin Fei had the backing of the Great Dream Ancestor, if Taihao True Immortal chose to disregard that influence and insisted on slaying Lin Fei, then Lin Fei would have no escape.

"You..." the Golden Crow Taoist started to speak, but Lin Fei gave him no chance to continue.

With a wave of his hand, the Saber World descended instantly, suppressing the Golden Crow Taoist who found himself unable to speak or move.

"Feng Ling, you remain in charge of the Eternal Life Alliance," Lin Fei instructed. "I will take the Phoenix to Taihao Palace and resolve the grievances between him and Taihao True Immortal once and for all."

"Don't worry, there will be no issues," he assured.

Feng Ling nodded in agreement, "Then be careful."

Without further hesitation, Lin Fei dismissed the Saber World. He and the Phoenix then traversed the void, arriving at the gateway between the mortal world and the Divine Realm located at Mount Ascension. Gazing at the mountain and the portal, the Phoenix knew that stepping through would mean entering the Divine Realm.

With a swift motion, Lin Fei and the Phoenix stepped into the gateway. In an instant, their figures vanished without a trace, having entered the Divine Realm.
