Chapter 2030 Phoenix Cry

Chapter 2030 Phoenix Cry

The world lurched back into existence, a disorienting rush. Gone were the screams of battle and the oppressive aura of death. Time itself seemed to stand still.

The expressions of Huang Yiming, Yin Sikong, and the other True Gods morphed in shock. They recognized the power – the power of only one being: the Primordial God!

Before they could even react, a wave of the Great Law of Death swept across the space with horrifying speed.

True Gods and Asura Gods in the far distance instantly became skeletons as the aura washed over them.

"The God of Death?" Huang Yiming uttered, confusion lacing his voice.

"My lord!" With a roar, Li Shan unleashed his full power and charged towards Huang Yiming. Without hesitation, he shoved Huang Yiming away with all his might.

As he successfully sent his master flying to the tower, Li Shan was consumed by the deathly aura, turning into a skeleton that crumbled to the ground.

"Hahaha! You're finished, Huang Yiming!" Yin Sikong cackled wildly. Though bewildered by his master's sudden intervention, he didn't dwell on it – perhaps his master was simply venting his anger.

Yin Sikong's laughter died in his throat as his own body began to decay.

"No! Master?!" he shrieked in disbelief, attempting to react, but it was too late. In a heartbeat, he too was reduced to a skeleton.

The Grip of Death itself withered and dissipated into nothingness as the aura swept past it.

Huang Yiming floated above the tower, a silent observer of the unfolding scene. He knew his demise was imminent.

Turning to Yun Lintian, he muttered under his breath, "Some things... cannot be changed. At least, not here... I see—"

His voice was abruptly cut short as the aura washed over him, transforming him into a skeleton. It toppled onto the tower's roof, lying there peacefully.

Utterly stunned, Yun Lintian had never witnessed such power before. Was this the true strength of the Great Law of Death?

"Be careful!" Nantian Yu appeared before Yun Lintian in a flash, her phoenix flames erupting outwards to form a barrier around them.

Yun Lintian snapped back to his senses and unleashed everything he had. The crown materialized on his head, resonating with the power of the Great Law of Life. A vibrant green barrier instantly materialized around them.

Screech—

The Divine Phoenix Soul above let out a mournful cry that echoed through the devastated city, a lament that pierced the veil of death.

"Legend speaks of twin phoenixes: Feng and Yu..."

"...Feng and Yu faced a formidable foe, and Feng sacrificed itself to protect Yu..."

Yan Jingru's voice echoed in Yun Lintian's mind.

"Why...?" Yun Lintian mumbled in a daze.

Enveloped in darkness, the phoenix flames burned fiercely around Yun Lintian, a testament to Nantian Yu's unwavering will to protect him.

Time seemed to lose its meaning. When Yun Lintian finally regained his senses, the darkness receded, revealing a bizarre sight. Time itself seemed fast-forwarded. Everything around him – the inn, the once-prosperous city – was rapidly eroded by the relentless march of time.

As the scene unfolded, Yun Lintian glimpsed figures vaguely appearing in the city, their faces obscured by time.

When the scene stopped abruptly, Yun Lintian found himself back in the inn. Nantian Yu's skeleton and the phoenix flames were gone.

With a whoosh, Lin Yitong and the others materialized around him.

"Are you okay?" Long Qingxuan asked with concern.

Lin Yitong glanced at the empty space in front of Yun Lintian and then at Nantian Fengyu. Recalling Nantian Fengyu's story, though unbelievable, it must be...true.

Nantian Fengyu approached Yun Lintian and wrapped her arms gently around him. "It's alright."

Yun Lintian subconsciously hugged her back tightly, his voice a murmur. "Will you disappear too, Fifth Sister?"

Nantian Fengyu closed her eyes, pressing her face against his chest. "No, I won't."

Yun Lintian clung to her even tighter, a primal fear gripping him – the fear of losing her.

Yun Yi, Zhang Yu, and Long Qingxuan watched silently, their words lost in the face of such raw emotion...
