Obsideum Immortal Father's face was ashen. The immortal shield he summoned exploded, and the recoil caused his blood to boil. He tried his best to block the crossbow bolts, but he was only able to block half of them. The explosion of the lightning bolts caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, and he was instantly sent flying for dozens of kilometers. Fortunately, he had the help of six Perfected Golden Immortals, so he was able to block all the crossbow bolts and lightning bolts.
"Again?"
Obsideum Immortal Father and the six Perfected Golden Immortals were horrified. They had never imagined that the Great Tang Empire's wealth would be this terrifying. This war was simply burning through money. The crossbow bolts and lightning bolts were immortal-grade items. Based on their experience, each crossbow bolt was worth no less than an immortal crystal. One wave was 1.2 million bolts, and two waves were 2.4 million bolts. This was simply throwing money at their enemies!
Obsideum Immortal Father roared, "Everyone, retreat immediately. You must block these crossbow bolts. I want to see just how many immortal crystals the Great Tang Empire has for them to throw around. "
Whoosh … Whoosh … Whoosh …
As his voice fell, the third wave of crossbow bolts followed closely behind, blotting out the sky.
Obsideum Immortal Father felt extremely sullen! He was a mighty Supremacy Stage powerhouse who had fought countless battles, but he had never encountered such a terrifying mass attack. He had once fought tens of thousands of people alone, and that was the highest number of enemies he had ever faced.
Moreover, with his strength, he wouldn't be injured even if the crossbow bolts blotted out the sky. However, the lightning bolts on the crossbow bolts posed quite a threat to him.
After a total of ten waves of crossbow bolts, the Immortals under Obsideum Immortal Father had already suffered some casualties, and the entire camp was in chaos.
"Kill …"
A loud roar came from the Great Tang Empire's army. Immediately, ten armies lined up neatly and charged towards Obsideum Immortal Father and his subordinates.
It was like a blade cutting through wheat.
Immortal weapons exploded, and blood sprayed everywhere.
In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Obsideum Immortal Father's subordinates had suffered huge losses. However, Obsideum Immortal Father and his six Perfected Golden Immortal subordinates couldn't even take care of themselves.
Sablefiend Scorpio, Celestial Stone Golems, Fire Demon Lion, Golden-eyed Great Peng, Lupus Monstrous Wolf, and Nether Sea Whale King — six Perfected Golden Immortals besieged Obsideum Immortal Father. Although the Obsideum Immortal Father was a Supreme-Being expert, he was injured, and his battle prowess was greatly reduced. Therefore, while Sablefiend Scorpio and the other six Perfected Golden Immortals couldn't inflict heavy damage on Obsideum Immortal Father, Obsideum Immortal Father also couldn't kill them in a short time.
As for Obsideum Immortal Father's six subordinates, they were surrounded and attacked by ten Perfected Golden Immortal Monster Immortals and three thousand Golden Immortal Realm experts. In just a short while, the six Perfected Golden Immortals had suffered considerable injuries. As for Obsideum Immortal Father's hundreds of thousands of subordinates, they were surrounded and attacked by several tens of thousands of Golden Immortals led by three Perfected Golden Immortals and two to three million immortal soldiers.
"Buzz …"
A hazy silhouette appeared beside Tan Xiu out of thin air, and an enormous aura surged towards the battlefield. The expression of Obsideum Immortal Father, who was surrounded and attacked by the six Perfected Golden Immortals, changed drastically. He had already gained the upper hand, and he was confident that he could kill these six Perfected Golden Immortals if he was given more time.
However, that aura …
Obsideum Immortal Father's face was filled with grievance as he roared, "Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, you win! I admit defeat and order your Great Tang Empire's army to retreat. Don't kill my subordinates anymore. "
Tan Xiu smiled faintly and nodded at Chen Shaohua. Immediately, the strange voice resounded again, and the Great Tang Empire's soldiers surrounding Obsideum Immortal Father's subordinates all stopped and retreated in an orderly manner. Fortunately, the Perfected Golden Immortal Berserker was almost killed by the two Great Tang Empire's Perfected Golden Immortals. Seeing that the powerful enemies had retreated, he heaved a sigh of relief with a bitter expression on his face.
Tan Xiu watched as Obsideum Immortal Father and his six Perfected Golden Immortal subordinates gathered together. Then, he smiled faintly and said, "Those who submit to me will prosper, while those who oppose me will perish. Obsideum Immortal Father, we've already investigated your background thoroughly before the battle started. Therefore, even if you had twice as many Perfected Golden Immortal subordinates as your subordinates, and even if you weren't injured, you would still be the loser of this battle. In my hometown, there's a saying that goes, 'Know thyself and know thy enemy, and you will emerge victorious in every battle.' Your defeat isn't unjust. "
A complicated look flashed across Obsideum Immortal Father's eyes. Through the brief battle just now, he had clearly realized that Tan Xiu was right. The number of enemy powerhouses was simply too many. Just the number of Perfected Golden Immortals that had already attacked numbered nearly twenty, and the number of Golden Immortals numbered in the tens of thousands. Such a force was already enough to deal a heavy blow to them.
In addition.
There was still one more Supreme who hadn't attacked yet.
Obsideum Immortal Father looked at the old man beside Tan Xiu and said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? I'm well aware of the number of Supremes in the Immortal World. I know most of the Supremes in the Immortal World. As for you, this is the first time I've seen you. "
Old Sycamore glanced at Tan Xiu and saw that the latter nodded at him. Then, he smiled faintly and said, "I've just broken through to the Supremacy Stage not long ago, so it's normal that Obsideum Immortal Father doesn't recognize me. I'm just a nobody under the Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, so you can call me Old Sycamore. "
Obsideum Immortal Father looked at Old Sycamore deeply, then said to Tan Xiu, "The winner takes it all, while the loser takes it all. Since I've already lost this battle, I'm willing to give the Obsideum Immortal Domain to you. If you agree, I'll immediately leave with my subordinates. "
Tan Xiu waved his hand and smiled. "Obsideum Immortal Father, don't be in such a hurry. Since we've met today, it proves that we're fated. My Great Tang Empire has too few powerhouses, so I'm appreciative of your talent. Why don't you take your subordinates and pledge allegiance to me? From now on, you'll be a member of my Great Tang Empire. You can follow me to expand our territory and achieve great things. What do you think? "
Obsideum Immortal Father sneered. "Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, you actually want a Supremacy Stage Immortal to pledge allegiance to you? Could it be that you … "
Tan Xiu raised his hand and interrupted Obsideum Immortal Father's words. Then, he said indifferently, "Supremes in the Immortal World are nothing but ants before the Heavenly Dao. I have more than one Supremacy Stage powerhouse among my subordinates. The reason why I recruited you is because I feel that you're a talent worthy of being nurtured in the future. If you sincerely follow me, I can explain some of the Supremacy Stage Daos to you before you attempt the Divinity Tribulation. I can also tell you about the Divinity Tribulation. "
"What did you say?"
Obsideum Immortal Father's expression changed drastically, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes. From Tan Xiu's aura, he could tell that Tan Xiu was definitely not a Supremacy, let alone a God.
Tan Xiu smiled faintly. "Don't think that I'm lying to you. Otherwise, I won't be able to keep you here. Obsideum Immortal Father, four thousand years ago, when you were still a Perfected Golden Immortal, you were heavily injured in the Fallen Immortal Abyss. Although you managed to break through to the Supremacy Stage later on, cultivating in the Supremacy Stage was extremely difficult. If you don't have a great opportunity, you'll be dreaming if you want to face the Divinity Tribulation. Am I right? "
Obsideum Immortal Father's pupils contracted, and a wave of shock surged in his heart. Only a handful of people knew about what had happened to him in the Fallen Immortal Abyss, especially the condition of his body. Only a few people knew about it. He had never met this Great Tang Heavenly Emperor before him, so how did he know about it?
The smile on Tan Xiu's face deepened, and he transmitted his voice. "An Immortal Oath is hard to break. You have regrets in your heart, and it will be a huge obstacle in your path to the Supremacy Stage. I'm not wrong, am I? "
"Who exactly are you?"
Obsideum Immortal Father transmitted his voice.
Tan Xiu said faintly, "You really don't need to know who I am. However, you need to remember that you owe him a favor, and you can return it to me. When you know my true identity in the future, you will be able to cross the hurdle in your heart and reach a perfect state of mind. Then, you can prepare to face the Divinity Tribulation. "
A favor?
Obsideum Immortal Father instantly understood. The Great Tang Heavenly Emperor in front of him already had a deep relationship with the Star Cultivation Great Emperor. It was even possible that he was someone extremely close to the Star Cultivation Great Emperor.
A double temptation.
This made Obsideum Immortal Father's heart palpitate. He could faintly feel that if he submitted to this Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, he might really be able to break through to the Late-Stage Supremacy Stage. He might even be able to face the Divinity Tribulation and take the final step of becoming an Immortal.
However.
He didn't know much about the Great Tang Empire, and he knew even less about this Great Tang Heavenly Emperor. Why should he believe him? If he followed him, what if the Great Tang Heavenly Emperor intentionally sent him to his death in the future …
Tan Xiu seemed to have seen through Obsideum Immortal Father's thoughts and said faintly, "If you follow me, not only will I not place any restrictions on you, but I will also provide you with all the cultivation resources you need. When the Great Tang Empire fights against the other immortal sects or sects, you will have to obey my orders unconditionally and fight alongside the Great Tang Empire's warriors. Of course, if you want to become my subordinate, you will have to prove your allegiance to me. "
Obsideum Immortal Father frowned and asked, "What allegiance?"
Tan Xiu said faintly, "The heads of five Perfected Golden Immortals."
Obsideum Immortal Father's expression changed, and he asked, "Which five Perfected Golden Immortals?"
Tan Xiu said calmly, "I need to wait for your answer now. If you agree to submit to me, then you will naturally know who those five Perfected Golden Immortals are. If you don't agree, then don't even mention the allegiance. "
Obsideum Immortal Father was silent for a moment, and then he said slowly, "Do I really not need to be restricted if I join the Great Tang Empire?"
Tan Xiu said, "As long as you don't bring disaster to the Great Tang Empire, then you won't need to be restricted. I hope that you can stay in Mist Source Island and cultivate for now. Once the Great Tang Empire has completely fortified the Obsideum, Aether, and Jadeite Immortal Domains and connected with the Immortal Lyceum, we will form a true superpower empire. If you want to go on an adventure, then go. If you want to travel, then go. If you encounter any danger outside, you can send a message back, and the Great Tang Empire's powerhouses will rush over to help you. "
