Chapter 1084 - 568: Eighth Life: Power Surges, the Road to Becoming an Emperor!
"Everyone must join the Divine Fire Sect?"
"The Sun God Son's audacity is immense, has he lost his mind?"
At first.
Other cultivators, upon hearing the Sun God Son's command, scoffed, waiting to see a joke.
After all, cultivation techniques cannot be easily altered.
Otherwise, at best, one's cultivation may regress, damaging one's foundation, making any further progress a hopeless endeavor.
At worst, conflicting techniques could cause one's body to explode and die on the spot.
Just like those low-tier cultivators with water spirit roots, how could they possibly cultivate the Fire Dao technique of the Divine Fire Sect?
And with just words, the Sun God Son wants them to change sects, clearly a delusion.
But it wasn't long before.
All sect forces that disobeyed orders faced severe suppression from the Divine Fire Army.
Many sects didn't even get a chance to explain before their gates were breached, all disciples exterminated, with no survivors.
Even a powerful Ming Dao Venerable was forcibly slain by the Divine Fire Sect for disregarding the decree, dying with resentment!
Earth Sect.
This sect has a long-standing legacy, with a history spanning hundreds of thousands of years.
Within the sect are many powerful individuals, along with three Ming Dao Venerables, making their overall strength even greater than the Medicine God Sect.
Yet not long after the Sun God Son issued his decree, a Red Armor Divine General suddenly appeared, standing powerfully above the Earth Sect, holding the decree aloft, announcing loudly.
"By order of the Divine Son, from today onward, everyone in the Earth Sect must offer worship to the World-purifying Divine Fire and practice our Divine Fire Sect's cultivation techniques."
"Anyone who disobeys will be severely suppressed!"
As soon as the words fell.
The Golden Armor Divine General waved his giant hand, and the decree descended from the sky, transforming into a blazing flame, floating before the Earth Sect Master.
After doing all this.
The Golden Armor Divine General didn't look back, continuing on to the next sect.
But the Earth Sect Master gazed at that ball of red flame, his face dark as water, tightly clenching his fists, his knuckles turning white.
It's well known that the Earth Sect primarily practices Earth Dao cultivation techniques, with most disciples having earth spirit roots, so how could they suddenly switch to the Divine Fire Sect's techniques?
As for offering worship to the World-purifying Divine Fire, this condition is extremely harsh.
Because to keep the World-purifying Divine Fire continually burning, vast resources must be consumed.
For many sects, this is an unsustainable burden.
Moreover, because the Earth Sect is situated in a remote corner, the resources they control are already sparse, and if they further divert many resources to worship the World-purifying Divine Fire.
Then the Earth Sect would face a resource scarcity, surely declining generation after generation, inevitably withering away.
And for the Sun God Son to make such demands with just a decree, it's undoubtedly tyrannical.
"Sect Master, what should we do?"
The other powerful individuals, filled with indignation, looked toward the Earth Sect Master.
"The Divine Fire Sect is on an imposing march, trying to conquer the myriad world domains to assist the Sun God Son in achieving the ultimate leap."
"If we're non-compliant, we'll certainly face severe suppression, used to intimidate other sects."
The Earth Sect Master, with a face full of sorrow, sighed heavily, suddenly seeming to age by decades.
In truth.
This is a dead end.
In the face of a colossus like the Divine Fire Sect, small factions like theirs have no choice at all.
If he agrees.
Then the Earth Sect will become a vassal of the Divine Fire Sect, subject to command.
But if he refuses.
Then the Divine Fire Sect will surely eradicate them, leveling the Earth Sect!
In such circumstances.
No matter how the Earth Sect chooses, a death road awaits them.
"The Divine Fire Sect bullies too much; do they really think they can cover the heavens with one hand?"
"We are, generation after generation, disciples of the Earth Sect; how can we forget our roots and betray our sect? At worst, we'll fight them!"
"Indeed, our Earth Sect may be weak, but we're not a fish to be slaughtered, even if we're not a match for the Divine Fire Sect, we'll take a hard bite into them!"
Some hot-tempered strongmen of the Earth Sect, in a blaze of anger, clamored for battle.
But others were unwilling to fight, immediately rebutting.
"With our limited power, recklessly waging war against the Divine Fire Sect is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, like an egg striking a stone."
"Why not agree for now, then watch and see?"
The Earth Sect Master saw all this, his heart growing heavier.
"In this era of conflict, no one can remain unaffected. What we can do is go with the flow and try our best to protect ourselves."
After a long silence.
He finally sighed deeply, obliged to accept that wisp of World-purifying Divine Fire, burying it within the sect's spiritual vein.
That wisp of World-purifying Divine Fire, highly spiritual, once in contact with the spiritual vein, deeply entrenched itself within, frantically absorbing energy from all directions to grow.
As it absorbed furiously, the once abundant spiritual vein now became extremely barren and thin.
In contrast, that wisp of World-purifying Divine Fire, initially only the size of a flame, suddenly surged in intensity after absorbing vast amounts of spiritual energy.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a blazing World-purifying Flame!
And similar scenes were playing out in other sects simultaneously.
Faced with the oppressive coercion of the Divine Fire Sect, many weaker sects were forced to submit, becoming vassals of the Divine Fire Sect.
But some sects preferred death over surrendering, even if the entire sect perished, they refused to yield to the Divine Fire Sect.
Yet these sects didn't last long before being massacred by the Divine Fire Sect, all disciples and elders completely exterminated, not a single survivor left.
The Divine Fire Sect used such brutal means to make the world understand one thing.
