The Crisis of Extermination Descends, Battle Intent Soars

Within the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

Ling Tian, who was in the midst of closed-door cultivation, suddenly sensed a dense killing intent and jolted awake.

At the same time.

The system's voice rang out once more...

[Beep!]

[Ancestral Dragon, First Qilin, and Chongming Bird detected leading a force to invade the Phoenix Clan. The Phoenix Clan is in crisis. Please choose...]

[Option One: Exit seclusion and fight to the death. If death is inevitable, so be it. Reward: Creation Jade Butterfly Fragment.]

[Option Two: Continue refining the Innate Primordial Grand Array and refuse to exit seclusion. Reward: A bottle of the holy healing medicine, Three Lights Divine Water.]

Hearing the system's prompt.

Ling Tian's expression turned grave.

"Why would the Dragon Clan and Kirin Clan invade the Phoenix Clan?"

"And what the hell is that Chongming Bird?"

Ling Tian's thoughts raced, and he quickly realized the situation, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"I fear all of this is because I achieved the Twelfth Grade Grand Unity."

Indeed.

One cannot be too high-profile, or one will surely be targeted.

Ling Tian had now become the focus of everyone's ire!

And among the current two choices.

Option One was a path with zero chance of survival!

Ling Tian had no other choice.

"System, I choose two!"

After making his choice.

A white porcelain bottle appeared before Ling Tian.

Ling Tian reached out to take it and opened it to look inside.

He immediately saw the gold, silver, and purple radiance emanating from within.

[Three Lights Divine Water] is composed of golden Sunlight Divine Water, silver Moonlight Divine Water, and purple Starlight Divine Water.

It is recognized as the number one holy healing medicine in Hong Huang.

Looking at this [Three Lights Divine Water] that Hong Huang cultivators dream of, there was not much joy in Ling Tian's eyes.

[Three Lights Divine Water] is indeed powerful.

But given the Phoenix Clan's current predicament.

I fear it is still of little use.

Right now.

The only way to break the deadlock is to comprehend the [Innate Chaos Grand Array] as quickly as possible.

If he could set up this chaos-level defensive array.

The Phoenix Clan's crisis would have a turning point!

Thinking of this.

Ling Tian dared not delay any longer and continued his comprehension.

Just as Ling Tian plunged back into his closed-door cultivation.

Inside Yuan Feng's Cave Mansion.

Yuan Feng suddenly opened her phoenix eyes, her expression solemn.

She is a Great Expert at the mid-stage of the Chaos Golden Immortal.

She was already able to sense a trace of the future's aura.

Just like now.

Yuan Feng clearly felt a dense killing intent coming from outside the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

Pointing directly at the Phoenix Clan!

Just as Yuan Feng was about to speak.

Qing Luan, who was at her side, suddenly stood up, a look of panic on her face.

"Sister, I sense an extremely intense killing intent descending."

"The Phoenix Clan is in grave danger!"

As she spoke, Qing Luan clearly felt this murderous intent drawing ever closer.

"Sister..."

Qing Luan wanted to say more, but Yuan Feng waved her hand.

The next moment.

Yuan Feng's majestic and cold voice echoed throughout the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

"A powerful enemy is invading!"

"All members of the Phoenix Clan, heed my command!"

"Cease your seclusion and immediately head to the various formation eyes of the clan's protective array!"

"Do not hoard your Immortal Power; open the formation to its maximum capacity for me!"

She paused.

Yuan Feng roared again.

"Within the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, all elders are to assemble in the Phoenix Clan Great Hall!"

"Follow me into battle!"

After speaking.

Yuan Feng's figure vanished from the spot instantly.

When Yuan Feng appeared again.

She was already seated upon the throne in the Phoenix Clan Great Hall, her eyes burning with intense battle intent.

Watching the Great Expert of the Phoenix Clan arrive one by one.

Yuan Feng sneered and spoke slowly.

"Everyone!"

"The Phoenix Clan has reached a moment of life and death."

"If we cannot survive this tribulation, let alone contend for hegemony over Hong Huang, I fear there will be no Phoenix Clan left in Hong Huang at all."

"Cast aside those unrealistic thoughts in your hearts."

"Put your full strength into this battle before us."

The Great Expert of the Phoenix Clan below knelt in unison: "We strictly obey the Clan Leader's order!"

The next moment.

Golden Phoenix King, who was at the lead, suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with deep confusion.

"Clan Leader, may you tell us, who exactly dares to invade our Phoenix Clan?"

"Where does this crisis of our clan originate from?"

After Golden Phoenix King finished speaking.

The other Great Expert of the Phoenix Clan also looked up at Yuan Feng, their eyes equally puzzled.

The Phoenix Clan is one of the three strongest clans in Hong Huang.

With the strength of the Phoenix Clan, how could there be a life-or-death crisis?

Unless...

A thought suddenly emerged in the hearts of these Great Expert of the Phoenix Clan.

Unless the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan attacked the Phoenix Clan simultaneously, it would only be possible then!

Just as these Great Expert of the Phoenix Clan were filled with immense doubt.

In the void outside the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

Three auras of the Golden Immortal of the Origin suddenly appeared.

They were none other than the Ancestral Dragon, the First Qilin, and the Chongming Bird!

What?

Upon seeing these three appear.

The faces of the Great Expert of the Phoenix Clan all changed.

This was even worse than the worst-case scenario they had imagined!

The Phoenix Clan facing the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan was already extremely difficult.

Now, they had to add the Avian Alliance represented by the Chongming Bird?

The Phoenix Clan was truly in dire straits this time!

As one of the three strongest clans.

The overall combat power of the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan was not the least bit weaker than the Phoenix Clan.

In terms of high-end combat power, the three clans were almost evenly matched.

Excluding the Fire Phoenix King, the Phoenix Clan possessed two Early Stage Primordial Golden Immortals: Yuan Feng and Qing Luan.

The Dragon Clan likewise possessed two Chaos Golden Immortals: the Ancestral Dragon and the Candle Dragon!

The Kirin Clan was the same, represented by the First Qilin and the Ink Qilin!

Regarding their core strength.

Through these years of development, the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan had already surpassed the Phoenix Clan by a significant margin.

The low-end forces could be ignored.

It could be said.

The Phoenix Clan was at a slight disadvantage against the Dragon Clan or the Kirin Clan individually.

Let alone now, when they were facing both clans simultaneously.

The most terrifying thing was...

Those invading the Phoenix Clan this time were not just the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan.

There was also the Chongming Bird clan!

Although the Chongming Bird was only an Early Stage Primordial Golden Immortal.

Behind the Chongming Bird stood the Avian Alliance!

Facing the combined assault of the Dragon Clan, the Kirin Clan, and the Avian Alliance.

The crisis facing the Phoenix Clan this time.

Could well be imagined!

Only at this moment.

Did the various Phoenix Clan Great Experts realize just how immense the "life-and-death crisis" Yuan Feng had spoken of truly was!

This was clearly a crisis of extinction!

"Matriarch!"

The Golden Phoenix King's expression was extremely grim, yet his eyes had become incomparably resolute.

"Matriarch, we are willing to die for the Phoenix Clan!"

"If the situation becomes untenable, I implore you to take the Crown Prince and flee this place."

"As long as you and the Crown Prince remain, the Phoenix Clan lives!"

"Our lives are of no consequence!"

As he spoke.

The Golden Phoenix King's aura as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal at the Great Perfection stage erupted violently, transforming into a golden beam of light that soared into the sky.

Following the Golden Phoenix King.

The auras of the other Phoenix Clan Great Experts erupted in a roar.

Waves of formidable energy surged upward, permeating the sky above the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.

Behind these Phoenix Clan Great Experts.

Were the countless core members of the Phoenix Clan.

Although the cultivation of these Phoenix clansmen was not as strong.

Their fighting spirit and determination to die for the Phoenix Clan were not a whit weaker than those of the Great Experts.

When disaster loomed.

Not a single Phoenix clansman chose cowardice.

A surging, tumultuous battle intent churned within their chests!

"For the Phoenix Clan, fight to the death!"

Feeling all of this.

Yuan Feng's eyes grew hot; the thousands of words in her heart finally converged into a single syllable.

"Fight!"

As these words left her lips.

Countless Phoenix clansmen felt their hearts tremble, their blood surging.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"
