The three empires were very serious. They even dispatched so many important existences here. Just think about it, twelve Dao Supremes were present with nine strong legions to boot.
"The three empires are truly terrifying. The Phoenix Empire is doomed." An expert sighed in lamentation. Just the twelve Dao Supremes had already instilled despair to the Phoenix Empire. What more if the was Universal Laws appear now? That'd probably spell the end of the world.
"I guess you're right." Another expert also commented, "The Phoenix Empire's only thing to do is to evacuate their people. This is no longer a battle they can win so they must preserve as much as possible."
"I don't know about that. Remember, Feng Lin's successor is present." An ancestor joined in, "You don't know what will happen. Who knows, he's about to create a miracle now just like Feng Lin in the past?"
No one agreed or refuted this claim. This was a sensitive and taboo topic so they didn't want to talk about it. Nevertheless, it was still hopeless in their eyes. After all, the successor might be here but the enemies were too many that a single person couldn't handle it.
After a few minutes, one of the 12 Dao Supremes, Emperor Immortal of Soaring Immortal Empire, flew over the grand gate of Phoenix Empire and declared, "Listen up, Phoenix Empire. We advise all of you to surrender now to avoid unnecessary casualties and losses. The three Universal Laws are with us so you better think about your chances of survival."
His voice was arrogant and loud. Those who heard it found his voice irritating but they didn't voice it out unless they were seeking death.
Then, two old men appeared out of the void. They were wearing golden and red robes, carrying the affinity of flames of a phoenix.
"The two ancestors of Phoenix Empire who are Dao Supremes." A man in the know spoke softly.
Although the two Dao Supremes of Phoenix Empire were very outnumbered, their disposition and expression were still the look of indifference as if this was a small matter.
Ancestor Hong, one of the two ancestors, looked at Emperor Immortal and said with a calm tone, "Emperor, you are still young to act arrogant in front of our empire. You weren't even born yet when we sweep the realms. Get your laws if you want to talk."
"Ancestor Hong is commendable. Even in this kind of predicament, you still have the guts to say those." Emperor Immortal chuckled.
"You think you really can destroy our empire?" Ancestor Wang, the other ancestor, smiled, "Our Phoenix Empire has a long legacy since time immemorial. As a matter of fact, even your God King isn't yet born when our empire was created in the past. If you think you can destroy it because you prepared this much, think again."
"Oh, you're confident that the empire will survive this calamity, then?" Emperor Immortal didn't expect that these ancestors wouldn't show they were terrified. They were even provoking them to attack! Were they that confident they could survive?
"Pretty much confident, actually." Ancestor Hong chuckled as he looked at the other eleven Dao Supremes, "Although you brought so many supremes here, it's still useless. So go back and we will assume this has not happened."
"It seems you're taking our laws' grace for granted, then." Emperor Immortal sneered. He knew that talking wouldn't solve any matter right now, "Since you don't want to heed our advice, you all can just go and die right now."
With that being said, Emperor Immortal flew back to the Dao Supremes and said, "On this day, the Phoenix Empire will be history!"
Ancestor Hong shouted, "Activate the grand slaying formation!"
"Whoosh!" After the command, several stars were created and circled around the empire. Then it looked like a war fortress with a phoenix head above. Ancestor Wang commanded in a grave tone, "Since the enemies want a fight, we will give them a fight!"
"Boom! Boom!" A cannon-like figure appeared out of the formation and fired a ball of flames. It was targeted to the supremes and the legions.
The Dao Supremes were caught off guard but evaded the attack but 1/9 of the legion was instantly annihilated by that single flame ball attack.
Countless screams could be heard when the legion soldiers burned to death.
"That's one powerful formation you have there." Emperor Immortal had to admit it, "Even us can be gravely injured or die with that attack."
"Don't worry, you'll have the chance later on." Ancestor Wang smiled.
"Boom!" Another flame ball was fired by the cannon. And this time, it appeared bigger.
This war fortress was called Heavenly Phoenix War Formation. In order to create this formation, the imperial treasury was almost exhausted because of the vastness of the formation, covering the entire empire. It wasn't only an attack formation, it also served as a defense. Although it was so expensive to activate, it was worth it as long as they could buy time.
The Dao Supremes evaded the attack. But unexpectedly, the flame ball suddenly exploded and pieced into twelve. Thus, they all received each which made them scream in fear.
"Agh!" A few Dao Supremes coughed up blood as they were thrown away to the ground. The attack was unexpected so they weren't prepared and had no time to activate their treasures.
"What a scary formation... It actually damaged twelve Dao Supremes at once!" An expert gasped. To think that the Phoenix Empire had this card to play. No wonder they weren't afraid of the three empires!
Ancestor Wang had already expected this. His Majesty Jin Rou had tripled the damage effect of the formation. Even the laws would be injured if they were hit by the flame balls.
They needed only a little time as Jin Rou was still preparing for the fight.
Emperor Immortal was still standing, albeit he's bleeding. Nevertheless, his expression didn't change and said, "Impressive. Truly impressive. This is what we should expect from the oldest empire of Fate World."
He paused for a moment before saying, "But if this is your trump card, then I'm afraid you all are still going to die and meet your late ancestor."
