1381 Those Who Follow Me, Shall Prosper; Those Who Oppose Me, Shall Die (2/2)

Obsideum Immortal Father answered him indifferently, ”So what? If all the soldiers of the Great Tang Empire had come to attack us, we would have had to act a bit cautious. However, they actually attacked all three great Immortal Domains simultaneously. It's really too audacious of them. We shall teach them the price of splitting up their troops when we meet them in battle later on.”

After he finished speaking, he turned back to look at the dozens of Immortal subordinates behind him and revealed a complacent expression. He was fond of instructing his subordinates, and as a result, he had ended up producing a large number of experts. These hundred thousand Immortals were his hidden ace.

Fifteen minutes later.

Apotheon Northpeak's expression shifted as he commented in a deep voice, ”They're here.”

When Obsideum Immortal Father got a clear look at the overwhelming number of Great Tang Empire's soldiers flying towards them, his expression morphed instantly. His eyes glimmered with disbelief as he let out a deep breath.

”What's that?”

Apotheon Northpeak's eyes filled with shock as he gazed upon the formation formed by the troops of the Great Tang Empire across the eastern skies. He had never seen such a shocking formation of Immortals in his eight-millennium life in the Immortal World.

Time zipped by, and when the entire three million-strong army of the Great Tang Empire appeared before the Obsideum Immortal Father and his hundred thousand-strong subordinates in a battle formation consisting of ten seemingly autonomous yet closely linked units, all of them revealed shocked expressions.

Obsideum Immortal Father's expression turned extremely unsightly. Although he was a Supremacy Stage expert, the battle formation of the Great Tang Empire shook him to the core. This formation formed of Immortals was entirely adopted from the mortal world's empires, and even though they were tens of kilometers away from the Obsideum Immortal Father, he could feel their oppressive aura that seemed to faintly carry the scent of blood—he felt goosebumps all over.

”Can… they even be considered Immortals? They're simply a killing machine,” Apotheon Northpeak muttered with a somewhat pale face.

His words caused the other five Perfected Golden Immortals to reveal tense expressions. Their gazes were finally dithered at the war chariot being pulled by nine flood dragons at the center of the Great Tang Empire's army. They could clearly see a young man donned in battle armor with the insignia of a dragon standing on this war chariot, and beside him stood a grim-faced middle-aged man in an upright posture, looking straight ahead while holding a command flag.

Whoosh…

A strange voice resounded from the command flag. When the Great Tang Empire's soldiers saw that the command flag had changed directions, all of them stopped in an orderly fashion.

Tang Xiu had personally taken part in the expedition this time. He revealed a sneering look when he saw the familiar face of Obsideum Immortal Father. He had interacted with the Obsideum Immortal Father on multiple occasions before. Although they weren't friends, they weren't enemies. However, the Obsideum Immortal Father had failed to pay back the favor he owed until now.

Obsideum Immortal Father felt shaken by the Great Tang Empire's legion before him, so he took a deep breath to pacify the shock in his heart. He then flew a few kilometers ahead and spoke to Tang Xiu in a deep voice, ”You're the commander who the Great Tang Empire has sent to invade my Obsideum Immortal Domain?”

Tang Xiu flew up and answered in a loud voice, ”I'm not just the commander, I'm also the Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, the emperor of the Great Tang Empire. Obsideum Immortal Father, your famed name and reputation have reached my ears too! It's a wonder to meet you in person now.”

Obsideum Immortal Father felt wholly shocked as he responded loudly, ”So you're the Great Tang Heavenly Emperor who demonstrated extraordinary talent in the Secret Palace of the Drunken Immortal Supreme. However, are you unaware that I am a Supreme? Did you believe you can defeat me with just the soldiers of your Great Tang Empire?”

Tang Xiu replied indifferently, ”Let's not even mention the fact that you are injured. Even if you weren't, you and your motley group of trash is nothing much to my Great Tang Empire. However, since you have already broken through to the Supremacy Stage and also have a few Perfected Golden Immortals beside you, I will give you two options. Surrender to me, and live, or oppose me, and die.”

Obsideum Immortal Father sneered at him. ”Although your Great Tang Empire's soldiers look good on the outside, I wonder how their strength actually fares! Since you wish to fight, you shall have one then! We shall know who the final winner is once the battle ends. I hope you have strong people at your side to protect you, or else, don't blame me for beheading and exterminating you in flesh and soul.”

Tang Xiu turned towards Chen Shaohua, who held the command flag and nodded. Immediately afterward, Cheng Shaohua signaled the troops to attack using the flag.

In the next instant, the first two units of thirty thousand soldiers activated their immortal defensive artifacts simultaneously. In just a few moments, an absolute defensive system had formed between them. The other four units of thirty thousand soldiers, a total of one hundred and twenty soldiers, all took out immortal crossbow artifacts and nocked their arrows on them. They shot at the Immortals of the Obsideum Immortal Domain along with the signal of the flag.

Arrows overshadowed the entire sky as they shot towards the enemies like a flood.

Obsideum Immortal Father's expression morphed, and he rushed to take out an immortal defensive artifact. The immortal shield grew in size instantly and tried to block all the arrows. However, the moment the leading arrow touched the immortal shield, it ended up exploding along with a thunderous sound.

Boooom…

The brutal explosions smashed apart the immortal shield into bits and pieces in an instant, and a volley of countless arrows cleansed through this space, leaving utter chaos in their wake.
