Yan Juantian's brows furrowed as he looked at the Battle Heaven Pavilion disciples who were standing ready all around him.
Five thousand Heavenly Venerable, fifty thousand Samsara.
However, Yan Juantian had only fought against one-fifth of these people.
Even when he destroyed the giant sword formed by the disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, he only used 50% of his power.
Even so, it instilled in Yan Juantian a desire to escape.
One-fifth of the Battle Heaven Pavilion disciples in the arena could barely exchange a blow with him.
When all five thousand Heavenly Venerable and fifty thousand Samsara gather together...
By then, will I still be able to withstand it?
This is an unknown question, and even Heavenly Firmament powerful being like Yan Juantian cannot provide an answer.
The key point is that in the past, no single power could field such a terrifying lineup.
Battle Heaven Pavilion couldn't handle it, let alone Lin Heng's two clones.
A guess arose in Yan Juantian's mind.
Could it be that the Battle Heaven Pavilion has dispatched such a force to completely annihilate all members of the Fire Clan's Third Heaven?
This idea had just formed in Yan Juantian's mind.
Before he could think further, Situ Jiannan stepped forward.
" Yan Juantian, now your last hope has Destruction."
Without the protection of the formation, you are nothing but a flock of lambs to the slaughter.
"You have two choices. Anyone who swears allegiance to the Battle Heaven Pavilion can be spared death today."
"Otherwise, both Divine Soul will perish, and heaven and earth will cease to exist."
When he uttered the last sentence, Situ Jiannan's tone was icy.
The bone-chilling cold made the Fire Clan experts imagine their Divine Soul being annihilated, causing them to tremble involuntarily.
The annihilation of both body and Divine Soul is different from ordinary death; it is a slaughter that destroys even the soul.
In this way, they will not even have the chance to be reincarnated as a human.
It is equivalent to completely dissipating into the world.
Most of the time, the battles of the Nine Heavens wouldn't go this far.
However, this time Situ Jiannan said it directly.
This also represents the attitude of the Battle Heaven Pavilion towards the Fire Clan experts of the Third Heaven.
Situ Jiannan's few words also stirred up a fierce internal struggle among the powerful members of the Fire Clan.
If we truly have the resources to wage war.
Even the Fire Clan powerhouses who have reigned Nine Heavens for countless years wouldn't lack this much courage.
But when faced with absolute power, when all that's left for you is death, even the last bit of courage in your heart will vanish.
The Fire Clan's powerful members looked at each other, exchanging glances.
Judging from their swaying bodies, many of them were already considering surrendering.
Yan Juantian was still standing in front.
In addition, people from various sects of the Third Heaven were watching from all sides.
These conditions are what prevented anyone from daring to step forward first.
'Buzz!'
A strange wave of spiritual energy suddenly descended from the sky, causing a buzzing sound in the heads of the Fire Clan experts.
Looking in the direction of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, Evil Avatar took a step forward, and his soul power, which was no weaker than that of the Sovereign Realm, was like a demonic claw pressing down on the head of the Fire Clan expert.
The invisible pressure, coupled with their inner fears, gradually caused the Fire Clan's powerful warriors to break down.
"I am willing to serve the Zhantian..."
Finally, one of the Fire Clan's Heavenly Venerable experts could no longer withstand the inner pressure and shouted, wanting to rush towards the direction of the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
With the first person taking the lead, the moment his voice was uttered, all the Fire Clan's powerful figures turned their gazes to him.
However, before the Fire Clan Heavenly Venerable could finish his sentence, a cold light flashed and struck the Heavenly Venerable.
Blood spurted out, and the Fire Clan Heavenly Venerable's head flew off. The headless corpse took two more steps forward due to inertia before collapsing powerlessly.
Everyone looked in the direction from which the cold light emanated.
It was Yan Juantian standing in the crowd.
At this moment, the flaming longsword in his hand was pointing towards the sky.
After killing those who were preparing to defect, Yan Juantian said coldly.
"Anyone who harbors thoughts of defection shall be killed without mercy."
Yan Juantian has proven with facts that he was not joking.
Looking at the corpses lying on the ground, the Fire Clan's powerful warriors were filled with dread.
Many people immediately put away any ideas that had just formed in their minds.
However, Yan Juantian's ruthless methods only instilled fear in most of the Fire Clan's powerful members.
A small number of powerful members of the Fire Clan still raised questions about him.
Yan Jiuyin, a powerful member of the Fire Clan at the Heavenly Firmament King Realm, roared angrily.
" Yan Juantian, how dare you kill your own people without authorization!"
Yan Juantian glanced at him indifferently and said disdainfully.
"Disrupting morale is an act despicable one, and even His Majesty the Saint Emperor would never blame me."
His words made Yan Jiuyin sneer.
"Heh! I'm afraid you're afraid of the Saint Emperor Emperor's wrath, that's why you don't dare let him leave, right?"
"You are the leader of my Fire Clan in this Third Heaven."
"If anyone defectes, or if the resistance is inadequate, you will bear the greatest responsibility."
"In the end, you're just afraid the Saint Emperor will hold you accountable, so you're sending everyone to their deaths with you."
Yan Jiuyin's words resonated deeply with everyone.
The Fire Clan experts, who already harbored resentment towards Yan Juantian, gained considerable courage upon seeing Yan Jiuyin, another powerful expert from the Heavenly Firmament Realm, step forward.
"That's right, Yan Juantian, you're basically trying to drag us down with you."
"You want us to die with you? You'll get a good reputation, but what about us?"
" Yan Juantian, if you want to die, go die by yourself. Don't drag us down with you."
Faced with the barrage of angry attacks from the powerful members of the Fire Clan, Yan Juantian's flaming longsword once again burst into flames.
Sensing that the other party was about to make a move, Yan Jiuyin flashed in front of Yan Juantian, holding two flaming swords in his hands, and confronted him.
" Yan Jiuyin, what do you mean by this? Are you openly betraying your clan?"
A cold glint flashed in Yan Juantian's eyes, revealing a hint of killing intent.
Yan Jiuyin was not afraid at all. Although there was a small difference in cultivation level between them, there were quite a few powerful Fire Clan members standing behind him.
Yan Jiuyin knew very well that as long as he dared to take the lead, they would definitely come to his aid immediately.
With the help of many powerful figures, he might not be unable to put up a fight against Yan Juantian.
After a few seconds of standoff, Yan Jiuyin finally spoke.
" Yan Juantian, the crisis our Fire Clan is facing today is all caused by the Saint Emperor."
" The Battle Heaven Pavilion has already established a foothold in the Third Heaven, yet it still insists on sending someone who resembles the former patriarch of the Fire Ghost Clan."
"If not for this, our Fire Clan would have stood proudly in the Nine Heavens for countless years, and would we be facing this crisis today?"
Before Yan Jiuyin could continue speaking, Yan Juantian interrupted him with a sharp shout.
"Shut up!"
" Yan Jiuyin, it is not your place to question His Majesty the Saint Emperor Emperor's decisions."
"If you wish to betray your clan today, you'll have to step over my dead body first."
