154: Chapter 154 If you don't sign the treaty, you'll all be buried with it!
"Did I give you permission to leave?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
"Sign the treaty for ceding territory and paying reparations before you scram."
Lin Feng's tone was completely flat.
However, to the ears of the three Empire leaders, it sounded no different from a voice from the Nine Serenities.
Not only were the three Empire leaders stunned and infuriated.
Even Elder Long was completely dumbfounded.
The crisis was originally about to be resolved.
As long as they could muddle through today's Hongmen Banquet, they could win precious breathing room for Great Xia.
But at the final moment, Lin Feng actually took the initiative to provoke them!
Does he have a death wish?
"You want us to sign a reparations treaty?"
"Are you still dreaming?"
"Do you really think that just because there's a Tier 9 old man protecting you, this Empress wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Empress Amaterasu and the two giants laughed out of sheer rage.
They never would have imagined that Lin Feng could be arrogant to such an extent.
"Since you insist on seeking death, the Great Xia Alliance shall be completely wiped out today!"
The three leaders simultaneously activated their Divine Artifacts, and their towering Divine Might shot straight into the clouds.
This sense of oppression, enough to tear apart the stars, shook the entire Void Realm into a frantic tremble.
Facing such a suffocating offensive.
Lin Feng let out a sneer and directly issued his final divine decree.
"Phoenix! Step forward!"
From within the volcanic crater, a dazzling streak of crimson light shot into the sky.
Accompanied by a crisp Phoenix cry that awed all things, a rain of fire instantly dyed the horizon red.
"A Tier 9 unit?"
"You think a mere Tier 9 bird can stop the three of us Demigods?"
Initially, the three giants were still wary, fearing that Lin Feng was hiding some Heaven-Defying trump card.
But after sensing that the Phoenix only had a Tier 9 cultivation, they all mocked him loudly.
Even a Tier 9 Dragon is no match for a Demigod Demonic Snake, let alone a Tier 9 Divine Bird.
"Tier 9... is enough."
Lin Feng chuckled, and with a slight thought.
Upon receiving the command, the Phoenix immediately folded its wings and curled its entire body into a ball.
In the blink of an eye, fire elements within a radius of millions of kilometers converged frantically into the Phoenix's body like they were going mad.
All the powerful experts present instantly noticed this riotous energy, and their Faces changed drastically.
Within a few breaths.
The Phoenix's body completely transformed into a translucent state, like a crystal-clear peerless ruby about to detonate!
An aura of destruction capable of destroying heaven and earth rapidly expanded within the Phoenix's body.
Once it completely detonated, it would definitely result in mutual destruction!
At the same time, Lin Feng steadily suspended the white tiger divine talisman above the Phoenix's head, forcibly increasing the power of its self-detonation by a full ten times!
While the Phoenix was gathering power.
Lin Feng had already secretly notified Elder Long via Divine Thought to withdraw from the battlefield immediately.
Elder Long understood instantly and retreated without hesitation on the Azure Dragon, moving far away from this dangerous sea area.
"Not good! Retreat, quickly!"
Empress Amaterasu's Face changed wildly as she finally realized how terrifying the power brewing within the Phoenix was.
If it really exploded.
Forget about Demigod pets, even their natal territories would have a huge hole blown into them.
"Nobody move! If anyone dares to take half a step back, I will detonate it immediately."
Lin Feng shouted sternly, his voice echoing throughout the Universe.
Empress Amaterasu's body, which was about to retreat, suddenly froze in mid-air.
The other two Empire giants were also too scared to move an inch.
What a humiliation!
Three dignified Tier 9 True Gods were actually shouted at by a Tier 8 junior until they didn't even dare to move.
If this were to spread back to their countries, what Face would they have left to continue ruling their people?
But the situation was stronger than the person; to save their lives, they had to grit their teeth and endure even the greatest humiliation!
"If this Empress is not mistaken, after this unit of yours self-detonates, it will surely be completely annihilated."
"Moreover, the destructive power of this scale definitely doesn't distinguish between friend and foe."
Empress Amaterasu narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly found the breaking point.
Her intelligence was extremely high, and her deduction was seamless.
The Phoenix detonating itself would indeed cause it to die on the spot, and the explosion's shockwave would definitely be an indiscriminate strike.
Seeing Lin Feng remain non-committal, Empress Amaterasu knew she had guessed correctly.
"Hehe, even if you really can drag us down and leave us with some scratches, so what?"
"You not only lose a Tier 9 main force, but even your exclusive territory will be blown to smithereens!"
Facing Empress Amaterasu's verbal intimidation.
Lin Feng gave another contemptuous smile.
"Is that so? You are more than welcome to try."
Anyway, with the privilege of Nirvana Rebirth in hand, any unit that died in battle could be resurrected with full health.
The Phoenix even came with its own infinite resurrection cheat.
As for damaging some flowers and grass, he could just spend some Divine Power to buy a Terrain Card and fix it easily.
On the other hand, for these three giants of enemy nations, once their natal Demigods died in battle, they would be gone forever.
Losing their Demigod combat power, they would inevitably fall from their True God thrones, and if things went poorly, they might even suffer the miserable fate of having their Divine Souls completely annihilated.
Looking at the undisguised madness and confidence in Lin Feng's eyes.
Empress Amaterasu and the two Empire leaders completely lost their composure.
Lin Feng.
Is simply a through-and-through war maniac!
...
In fact, Lin Feng was fully capable of detonating the Phoenix instantly.
Under the ten-fold amplification of the white tiger divine talisman, combined with the Heaven-Defying bonus of Indestructible Battle Intent, the nearly hundred-fold destructive power would be enough to blast the opposing Demigod pets into nothingness on the spot.
Furthermore, relying on the passive of Nirvana Rebirth, he himself would not lose even a bit of comprehensive combat power.
However, Lin Feng did not choose such an extreme operation.
This wasn't some small-scale private duel between a few people where he could just kill them and be done with it.
Once all the top leaders of these three Empires were killed, the entire Universe would inevitably fall into an irrecoverable super-turmoil.
Countless low-level deities would suffer as a result.
The three Empires, completely enraged, would definitely form suicide squads to frantically counterattack the Great Xia Alliance.
Even if Lin Feng held a Tier 9 divine pet, he wouldn't be able to protect all the innocent people throughout the entire territory.
The Great Xia Alliance might have the last laugh, but the process would surely be exceptionally tragic, and the number of casualties would definitely be astronomical.
Even more lethal.
If the commotion was too big, it would easily attract the gaze of High-Dimensional True Gods.
If a True God discovered Lin Feng, an unruly heretic, ahead of time, with his current cultivation, he would be completely unable to resist.
The most important point.
Any ordinary deity in the entire Universe was a perfect 'leek' to provide faith essence; in the future, Lin Feng would definitely incorporate all these high-quality laborers as subordinate vassals.
For every one that died in battle, he felt like he was cutting off his own flesh.
Based on the above considerations, Lin Feng suppressed the urge to light the fuse.
Unless these three giants really intended to fight to the death, he wouldn't flip the table without reservation.
But right now, there was clearly no need for that.
In the Face of the Phoenix's terrifying pressure that could destroy everything, the three leaders didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
For fear that Lin Feng's hand would shake and he would directly drag everyone down with him.
"Lin Feng! Don't push things too far!"
"If you force us into mutual destruction, nobody will have a good outcome!"
At this point, the three of them could only stiffen their necks and release a few weak threats, attempting to make Lin Feng back down half a step.
Lin Feng sneered: "Cut the nonsense and sign it."
Several parchment scrolls that had been drafted early were thrown directly in front of the three of them.
Sign a treaty?
The Faces of the three giants changed wildly.
This is simply humiliating and a forfeiture of sovereignty!
But if they didn't sign, the Phoenix before them was hanging over their heads.
Once it erupted, even if these three Tier 9 big shots didn't perish, they would lose half their lives.
"I know you feel you're losing Face, so I've made some slight modifications to the terms."
Lin Feng saw through the thoughts of the three.
It was clearly unrealistic to expect someone to cede core territory and bow down as a subject based on a single piece of paper.
Although Lin Feng's combat power was high, it didn't mean the overall military strength of the Great Xia Alliance could also crush the opponent.
To prevent the other party from becoming desperate, getting some practical benefits was the most stable approach.
Hearing that the terms had been modified, the three of them looked slightly moved and immediately opened the scrolls to check.
"Ten trillion Divine Power points in reparations per country..."
"Unconditional return of all seized resource outposts..."
"Within a hundred years, never take the initiative to start a war against the Great Xia Alliance..."
...
Seeing the lines of large characters clearly.
The Faces of the three Empire leaders turned completely green.
This is too much! It's simply not treating people like humans!
"How, not willing to sign?"
Lin Feng's gaze turned cold, and the Phoenix's body in mid-air brightened a bit more, its destructive aura becoming even more frenzied.
Feeling this deadly high temperature, the anger that the three had just gathered was instantly suppressed.
On second thought, although these conditions were humiliating, they were not unacceptable.
Compared to the previous proposal of ceding land and cities, Lin Feng was already showing mercy.
For a superpower, they could still cough up ten trillion in savings if they gritted their teeth.
Returning outposts and a hundred-year truce wouldn't hurt their core strength either.
"...Fine! I agree!"
The burly man from the Mad Bear Empire was the first to surrender, signing his name very readily.
After several bouts of psychological struggle, he still felt that saving his life was the most important thing.
Mad Bear and Blood Moon were originally a combination of pure interests; there was no need to lose his life for an ally.
Besides, the Mad Bear Empire hadn't seized Great Xia's territory.
Consider it spending ten trillion to buy a lifelong lesson!
In the future, he wouldn't dare provoke the Great Xia Alliance even if he were beaten to death.
With someone taking the lead, the psychological defense of the Star Eagle leader also collapsed.
To put it bluntly, it was just paying to avert disaster.
Ten trillion in exchange for a life—this deal was simply too worth it!
Other than being a bit unable to save Face, there was no substantial harm.
"Fine, I'll sign." The Star Eagle leader gave up resistance and signed his name briskly.
Empress Amaterasu's Face turned from blue to white, and she finally had no choice but to sign with a heart full of humiliation.
"Alright, now you can put away your firebird, right?"
Empress Amaterasu threw the signed scroll back to Lin Feng and spoke coldly.
"Don't be in a hurry. Hand over the money before you scram."
Lin Feng carefully checked the documents and nodded with satisfaction.
He certainly wasn't naive enough to believe that a piece of contract could completely restrain these rogue nations.
As long as he wasn't around, these people would definitely counterattack again.
"But as long as he established this peerless ferocity today, anyone who wanted to move against the Great Xia Alliance in the future would have to first weigh whether their neck was hard enough!"
