Sea of Fire

The Sacred Sect of Heavenly Unity.
The temples were dazzling with gold and jade. In the middle is a square. A human-shaped stone statue that was over 100 feet tall stood there, bathed in sunlight and shining brightly. Hundreds of disciples gathered in the square. They knelt on the ground and clasped their hands in front of their chests. They squinted and muttered spells as they prayed.
This stone statue was carved like a strong person wearing armor and holding a large sword. He was extremely muscular and was a god worshipped by the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect. His name was "Divine God Tianhe".
According to the Heavenly Unity Holy Sect, this Tianhe God was one of the 36 Divine Generals under the Heavenly Creation God. When the Heavenly Creation God created the world, he was tasked with closing the sky.
Hence, he was called Divine Lord Tianhe (the closed heavenly unity/heaven).
The Heavenly Unity Holy Sect was a sect that worshipped Divine God Tianhe. The disciples of the sect were originally disciples of Lord Tianhe. Their martial techniques were also inherited from the first generation Sect Master when he was serving God Tianhe.
However, one day, Divine Lord Tianhe no longer responded to the prayers of his people. No matter how they prayed, there was no answer. Only then did this sect gradually transform into a martial sect and start recruiting disciples normally.
Of course, the absolute core of the Tianhe Sacred Sect were still those who believed in the Tianhe God. As long as they wanted to hold positions in the sect or obtain martial techniques above the God Realm, they had to become adherents of the Tianhe God Realm.
Moreover, every believer believed that it was not because Lord Tianhe had not responded to the believer's request intentionally, but that he had fallen into a deep sleep for some reason.
As long as they prayed with their hearts every day, they could communicate with the ubiquitous Lord Tianhe.
After a long time, the sleeping Divine God would be able to sense this world again and come to life again, letting the light of the Gods shine on the ground again.
Therefore, as long as the disciples of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect were at the mountain gate camp, they would use two hours every day to come to the square to pray and make their own contribution to summon Lord Tianhe from his sleep.
The majestic hall behind this statue was the powerhouse of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect. It was a place that only Sect Master and the seven Elders could enter.
All the major decisions of the Heavenly Unity Holy Sect will be made in this hall.
Currently, there were only four people sitting in the hall.
Since the four Elders were outside and not on the mountain, the four of them were not present. Sect Master led the three Elders to host the meeting today. “What do you think about the chaos caused by the recent Underworld Deva search?” The Sect Master was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He had a stable temperament and spoke at moderate speed.
“According to what I know, many disciples took the opportunity to seize assets and treasures from ordinary sects and families in the name of searching,” said one of the Elders.
“Because we will search, such a thing is inevitable. We should let the disciples feel some benefits before they work. The other elder frowned. "You can't not give the student any benefits at all."
"No, I don't mean that they shouldn't be doing this." The elder who spoke earlier shook his head and explained, “It's okay if they want to commit a robbery, but why don't they eliminate the target completely? After letting them escape, they damaged the reputation of our sect.”
"I understand. That's right." The elder who frowned earlier nodded and said with a smile, "We must remind these disciples to remember to protect the reputation of our sect at all times."
"That's right. Our sect is a noble legacy left behind by Lord Tianhe in the mortal world. How could it be slandered by a bunch of lowly and stupid people?” The third elder said in a low voice. “If you ask me, we should take advantage of this quest and clean up that little family and sect. Only after that will be peaceful.”
The three Elders discussed amongst themselves.
In the end, they all looked at the Sect Master.
No matter what results or methods the Elders discussed, they still needed the Sect Master to decide.
"That little sect and family actually dare to slander our Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect?"
The gaze of the Sect Master swept across the three Elders present and he said in a low voice, “It seems that the dignity and strength of our Sacred Sect is not enough. A bunch of ants dare to say nonsense!”
The three Elders nodded when they heard this. They agreed with the Sect Master's opinion.
In their understanding, ever since the Nine Immortal Sect enlightened all living beings 5,000 years ago, the people in the Eternal Sect had always been high and mighty.
Especially those who had stepped into the Third Realm of the Eternal World, they were above all humans.
Not to mention small families and sects, even families like the Nine Main Families and the other 24 aristocratic families were ants that could be controlled at will by Gods.
As for the humans at the bottom, in the eyes of the Devas of the Eternal sect, they were nothing but dust. They couldn't even be bothered to look at them. They are not worth mentioning at all.
This absolute rule has been going on for 5,000 years.
That hasn't changed until now.
Although the Daoyi Palace appeared 3,000 years ago and three Buddhist monasteries appeared over 2,000 years ago, both were not good enough.
The first one was finally alone. Even if he could suppress the Nine Elders alone, he was powerless to handle anything else. The latter had joined the Immortal sect from the very beginning and they advanced and retreated together.
This naturally formed the custom of the Immortal sect and Deva looking at others as if they were ants.
It wasn't just the Heaven God and Heaven King discussing this matter. Even some Human Gods and Earth Gods had already treated small sects, families, and even all humans as insects that they could easily destroy.
In fact, due to the influence of the atmosphere as a whole, most of the disciples who had just entered the sect in the past few years had already fallen into this bad habit. Even before they could master their martial techniques, they had already begun not to take the lives of ordinary people seriously.
"Master Sect, I suggest that we order the disciples who went looking to become even more ruthless." An Elder stood up and said in a low voice, "As long as we don't let the ants escape, naturally, no one will slander our Sacred Sect."
"That's right." The third elder nodded with a somewhat serious expression. “This is a big problem. The reputation of our sect concerns the dignity of a Divine God. We cannot allow these ants to blaspheme an almighty God. We must eliminate all evil and eliminate it!”
"All right, then it's done!" The Sect Master nodded and said, “I will write the order now and send it to all the disciples in the sect. In the future, when we come out, we will follow his plan.”
"Rubber!"
At this moment, an earth-shattering boom suddenly came from outside, interrupting the Sect Master's words.
As if an enormous monster was roaring, its voice spread throughout the entire Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect.
This sudden change immediately made the face of the Sect Master, who had been Heavenly Majesty for so many years, turn deathly pale. He walked out quickly and looked up at the sky.
He wanted to see what kind of situation this was.
At the same time, the disciples who were praying in the square, as well as those who were cultivating, chanting scriptures, or doing other things, all looked up to the sky.
Then their gazes froze, and their mouths involuntarily opened. Their bodies are tense.
They felt that there was only one color and one thing left in their eyes.
It's red!
A fire!
An extremely pure red flame enveloped the entire sky, as if it had ignited the entire sky and turned into a sea of flames. An extremely frightening temperature instantly filled every corner of the Heavenly Unity Holy Sect.
At this moment, countless disciples from the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect were stunned on the spot. Scenes of things they experienced in their lives unconsciously flashed through their minds.
Soon after, their clothes began to spontaneously combust. In the blink of an eye, they burned into a charred black color and fell onto the ground motionless.
It's just from high temperature combustion. Before the flames in the sky descended, more than half of the disciples in the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect had died.
Sect Master and the three Elders rushed out of the hall and looked at the situation outside in horror, as well as the red flames burning in the sky.
"What is this, what is this ?!" They looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. They're shaking. "How is this possible? How is this possible? Who could have such a strong power?!”
The Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect before them had turned into a sea of fire under the unbearable heat. Their students will be destroyed.
Whether it was an ordinary disciple from the Mortal Realm, or a Human God and Earth God who had stepped into the Eternal Realm, there was no difference at this moment. They all died one after another.
There is no room for resistance at all.
"Rubber!"
Suddenly, another dragon roar resounded in all directions. A sea of flames in the sky suddenly surged, and "flowers of waves" flew down from the sky.
It was as if a star had fallen to the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect.
The explosion!
The explosion! The explosion! The explosion!
As the "falling stars" fell one after another, the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect trembled.
The stone statue of the God God in the square suddenly collapsed, and countless temples instantly turned into ashes.
Soon after, the ground split open and the mountain collapsed!
Many Gods wanted to escape, but they were helpless. They could only watch helplessly as they were devoured by the flames.
Sect Master and the three Elders were horrified.
For the first time, they felt that they were actually very weak. Compared to the flames in the sky, they were actually weak like ants. "Run! Fast run!”
Sect Master Tianhe roared furiously. At the same time, he flew up and tried to escape.
The three elders beside him followed from behind.
But at this moment, just when the four of them were about to fly out of the reach of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect, a dragon head that was over a thousand feet tall suddenly poked out from the surging sea of flames and floated in front of the four of them.
"Reload!"
This enormous dragon head let out a cry that was completely incompatible with its size. It opened its mouth and was about to swallow the four people in front of it.
At this moment, Sect Master Tianhe felt all the hairs on his body stand on end. The great fear of death made him finally unable to resist shouting.
“Patriark, save me!!”
