From the Heavens

The Heavenly Fire Sect was established on a cluster of volcanoes.

Because of the existence of the Heavenly Fire Sect, the cultivators within constantly draw upon the earth fire power for their cultivation. As a result, the earth fire power in the volcanic cluster has long been exhausted and no longer erupts.

Thanks to the resources left behind by the volcanic eruption, the vegetation of the entire volcanic group has become lush and verdant over the years, with towering ancient trees everywhere. A large number of birds and animals live there, surrounded by clouds and mist, creating a fairyland atmosphere.

At this moment, a convoy of several hundred people was rapidly approaching the Heavenly Fire Sect.

Of the hundreds of people, half were guards and servants. Each guard looked strong and sturdy, wearing armor, and of extraordinary origin.

The carriage in the very center was not only spacious and comfortable, but also inlaid with a large number of pearls, agates and gemstones, making it look extremely luxurious.

As the carriage curtain was lifted, a girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin and adorned with gold and silver, stepped out. Gazing at the mountain range that was faintly visible in the clouds ahead, she was filled with longing. "Is this the Heavenly Fire Sect, the sect of the Dragon Origin Kingdom, which even the Dragon Origin Kingdom's ruler, who governs hundreds of millions of people, has to pay homage to?"

"Weiwei."

At this moment, another man in his early twenties, dressed in flowing white robes and exuding the refined air of a gentleman, rode up on a white horse. He said to the girl, "The Heavenly Fire Sect is not just about ruling our Dragon Origin Dynasty. The surrounding thirteen dynasties, and even the entire thirty-nine kingdoms of the Flame River Road, with billions of people, all have to act in accordance with the Heavenly Fire Sect's wishes to some extent! Each of these dynasties is no less powerful than our Dragon Origin Dynasty, and some of them are even more prosperous than our Dragon Origin Dynasty."

"Ruling over thirty-nine great dynasties!?"

The girl's eyes widened immediately.

"Although our Gu family is a top Aristocratic Clan in Longyuan Kingdom, and you and I are direct descendants of the Fang Family, the Tianhuo Sect opens its gates to recruit disciples every three years. Even princes, princesses, heirs and princesses from various countries will come to participate. As far as I know, there will be three princes, one princess, six heirs and eight princesses from Longyuan Kingdom participating in the disciple assessment half a month from now."

The man stared longingly and in awe at the mountain range shrouded in clouds. "If we can join the Heavenly Fire Sect, our status and position will undergo tremendous changes. If one day we can become True Disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect, even the Emperor of the Dragon Origin Dynasty will have to bow to us."

"His Majesty actually has to bow to us?!"

The young girl, Gu Weiwei, was filled with disbelief, but in a moment, boundless ambition was stirred within her, and she kept making a silent decision. "I must become True Disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect!"

"Becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect is not so simple. In the Dragon Origin Dynasty, a Core Formation Realm cultivator is honored with titles such as the Ten Young Masters or the Eight Immortals. However, in the Heavenly Fire Sect, such a cultivator is merely an ordinary outer disciple. Even if one cultivates to the point of dominating a province and becoming Primordial Spirit of a different surname, one is still just an ordinary inner disciple in the Heavenly Fire Sect."

As the man spoke, he glanced at the largest carriage in the convoy and said respectfully, "However, your second sister, Gu Qingqing, achieved the Returning to the Void Realm three years ago and became a True Disciple. She holds a recommendation quota and brought us to join the Heavenly Fire Sect from home this time. We can directly enjoy the treatment of inner disciple. Once our Primordial Spirit is complete, we will be true inner disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect with a bright future."

"Sister... you are truly gifted. You achieved the Void Returning Realm before the age of forty. How many people in the world can achieve such a feat!?"

Gu Weiwei looked towards the carriage with admiration and envy.

Just then, a strange beast, over twenty meters long and with a wingspan of over ten meters, resembling a serpent, suddenly let out a long roar like a dragon's cry, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

"It's a pterosaur!"

The man couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It is said that the Winged Dragons possess the bloodline of the High Antiquity divine beast Teng Snake. Each one is a first-class beast, capable of tearing apart lions, tigers, bears, and leopards from birth! Once they reach adulthood, they possess strength no less than that of Primordial Spirit Overlord!"

As the strange beast roared like a dragon, the horses and steeds below seemed to be startled and neighed in panic.

This scene seemed to have drawn the ire of the people riding the strange beasts in the sky.

"The Heavenly Fire Sect is a sacred immortal land; how dare you mortals make a ruckus here!"

As they spoke, several Sword Qi descended from the sky, heading straight for the horses.

The Sword Qi appeared to be aimed at the BMW, but if it were allowed to fall, many of the Gu family members and guards would likely become victims of the sword.

"Fang Jianxuan, how dare you touch my people! You have some nerve!"

At this moment, a clear, cold voice came from the largest carriage in the caravan. Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in green appeared, forming a sword with her fingers, and the Sword Qi soared into the sky.

Not only did it instantly shred the Sword Qi descending from the sky, but it also swept across a hundred meters of void with undiminished momentum, shooting straight towards Fang Jianxuan, who was on the winged dragon.

"Gu Qingqing, I think you're the one who's being audacious! I'm just teaching a few mortals who've been making a ruckus in my Heavenly Fire Sect a lesson, and you dare to lay a hand on me, your fellow True Disciple? It seems I'll have to teach you a lesson today and show you what respect and hierarchy really mean!"

Fang Jianxuan, atop the pterosaur, sneered and with a flick of his wrist, sent a giant hand engulfed in raging flames reaching for the Sword Qi.

Amidst the bursts of fire, the sword Sword Qi was instantly pulverized.

"The Six Yang Hands of Heavenly Gang? So you've mastered this Technique Method. No wonder you dared to be so presumptuous in front of me. But if you think you can use this Six Yang Hands of Heavenly Gang to cover up your tracks in front of me, you're sorely mistaken."

Gu Qingqing suddenly leaped into the air, her hands forming a sword incantation. A cyan flying sword shot through the air, striking the giant fiery hand like a bolt of lightning.

No!

It's not just a thought!

The clash between the azure light and the giant fiery hand indeed produced a thunderous roar in the void, instantly shattering the giant fiery hand and continuing its momentum as it slashed towards Fang Jianxuan on the winged dragon's body.

"Sword Qi Thunder Sound! Your Flaming Thunder Sword has actually reached this level?! Not good!"

Fang Jianxuan exclaimed in surprise and soared into the sky at top speed.

He could dodge Gu Qingqing's sword light, but the winged dragon beneath him could not.

With a painful cry, the pterosaur, which was over twenty meters long, was cleaved in two, its blood splattering across the sky.

"My beast..."

Fang Jianxuan, who had soared into the sky, looked at this scene with deep regret. "This matter is not over."

After leaving behind his harsh words, he hurriedly took to the air and headed towards the interior of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

"Call out!"

Gu Qingqing returned her divine sword to its place and did not give chase.

This scene, witnessed by Gu Weiwei, who was traveling with her, and the young man, caused them an unparalleled and intense shock.

"This..."

"A pterosaur! A beast comparable to the Primordial Spirit has been killed just like that!?"

"Sword Qi energy stretched for hundreds of meters! Is this the True Disciple power of the Heavenly Fire Sect's disciples!?"

Gu Qingqing observed the shock of the crowd and said indifferently, "You must remember that as the absolute overlord of the Flame River Sect, our Heavenly Fire Sect does not accept trash. It is true that you can get the treatment of inner disciple with my recommendation, but if you want to gain a foothold in the Heavenly Fire Sect, you still have to fight and compete on your own. The competition between inner disciple True Disciple and between True Disciple inner disciple never stopped. Even if I cannot maintain my ambition, I may be surpassed and replaced at any time!"

"Yes."

The entire Gu family simultaneously realized what was happening and responded with a shout.

This scene made them deeply aware of the cruelty of the internal competition within the Heavenly Fire Sect.

At the same time, witnessing Gu Qingqing effortlessly display the power of her Sword Qi, which spans hundreds of meters, and even manage to slay a winged dragon, a beast that is practically a hegemon in the Dragon Origin Dynasty, with a single sword strike, one can only marvel at such Divine Ability...

This further fueled their ambition.

"In the future, I will definitely master this skill, so that with Sword Qi strike, I can take a person's head from hundreds of meters away. What a magnificent sight that would be..."

Gu Weiwei muttered to herself.

"Boom!"

Just then, a slight tremor seemed to come from afar.

No!

It's not just a simple roaring sound!

Instead...

The infrasound waves generated by the atmospheric explosion reverberated in everyone's minds with a deafening roar. Some of the Gu family members with weaker cultivation levels, who had not even completed the Foundation Establishment, felt dizzy and disoriented!

Gu Qingqing, who was holding a sword in one hand and dressed in green like a fairy in the wind, was the first to notice something. She suddenly looked up and stared at the sky in disbelief.

At the edge of the sky, or rather, high above the heavens, a colossal fireball, carrying a dazzling aura, was plummeting down at an incredible speed.

The infrasound generated by the friction and explosion between him and the atmosphere alone has already spread in all directions, causing countless living beings to suffer unbearable pain. The radiance emanating from him is even more intense and dazzling, shining brightly across the heavens and earth, so strong that people dare not look directly at it.

"What is this!? What is this!?"

"The sun is falling! The sun is falling! Is the end of the world coming!?"

Painful screams and terrified cries echoed around Gu Qingqing and the others.

At the same time, a piercing alarm sounded above the Heavenly Fire Sect.

"Enemy attack!"

The next moment, the four grotto-heavens located at the core of the Heavenly Fire Sect started operating simultaneously. In particular, the grotto-heaven at the very core, which belonged to the Purple Flame Dao Master, shone brightly, which was clearly a sign that the Heavenly Dao had been activated.

"Jiang Yufeng!? How dare you!"

With a long, earth-shattering roar from the Purple Flame Dao Lord, endless flames seemed to rise from the cave he was in, soaring into the sky like a fiery phoenix that stretched for thousands of meters under his guidance.

Even before its full power was unleashed, the terrifying heat and flames already seemed poised to set the entire sky ablaze.

"The Supreme Elder! That's our Heavenly Fire Sect's Supreme Elder!"

"Dao Lord! Dao Lord Zi Yan has made his move! And he has activated the Heavenly Dao and is attacking with all his might!"

"Jiang Yufeng!? The Supreme Elder of the Creation Sect!? My Heavenly Fire Sect is at its peak, its power overwhelming the heavens and earth. How dare this ignorant fool come to my Heavenly Fire Sect to die!?"

Various excited shouts echoed from within the Heavenly Fire Sect, and even True Immortals took to the air.

The sheer magnitude and the apocalyptic energy fluctuations left Gu Weiwei and her group, who were still outside the Heavenly Fire Sect, completely stunned.

For the first time, they realized that human power could be so immense.

However, the shock of the Gu family and the confident clamor of the True Immortals of the Heavenly Fire Sect only lasted for a moment, as the meteorite falling from the heavens and the fiery phoenix rising from the Heavenly Fire Sect collided head-on in the void.

In an instant, an unprecedented brilliance burst forth, accompanied by raging flames that could annihilate everything.
