When that fist was raised.
The stars dimmed, the Great Dao rumbled, and all things submitted.
The Void was shattering, and chaos was surging.
Throughout the entire Fifth Heaven, countless powerhouses suddenly looked up, gazing across the Void towards where Lu Ye was located.
Expressions of shock appeared on their faces.
Because in their perception, in that direction, at that moment, it was as if the power generated by billions of stars exploding simultaneously.
What's going on?
Who?
Who is doing this?
Why would such terrifying fluctuations appear?
Lu Ye was a man of his word, saying three punches meant three punches.
The Celestial Venerable Fist was also one punch.
It was just that this time's Celestial Venerable Fist was surprisingly powerful; the vast and boundless True Essence within Lu Ye was basically reduced to less than one-tenth with the swing of this punch.
In other words, the Celestial Venerable Fist of this power could not be used frequently; using it once would cause him to lose a large part of his ability to fight again.
However, this wasn't because Mingfo Temple didn't fight back, they were still gathered together.
A group of enemies gathered together was too tempting.
Therefore, Lu Ye really couldn't resist, constantly gathering his True Essence into his fist.
When that fist, larger than a star and burning with flames, rapidly approached Mingfo Temple.
Before the fist had even truly landed on the formation, the golden shield was already like paper in a strong wind, seemingly about to shatter in the next second.
The many monks of Mingfo Temple watched this scene, their expressions changing from relaxed to solemn, then to disbelief, and finally to despair.
In their hearts, only one thought remained at this moment.
"Freak!"
"Boom!"
The golden light only shone for an instant before extinguishing like a spark.
A huge void appeared, continuously absorbing the world-destroying energy to prevent further harm.
Lu Ye withdrew his fist.
Looking at the blood on his fist, he nodded in satisfaction.
Celestial Venerable Fist, another part of its power unlocked, not bad, really not bad.
The next second, the Human Emperor Banner covered the sky, and souls flew into the Human Emperor Banner; Mingfo Temple was completely wiped out.
It's cleared!
Lu Ye felt completely unobstructed!
He glanced around; in the distant Void, figures were all dumbfounded, unable to believe what they saw.
Suspecting they were dreaming.
That was Mingfo Temple, one of the top forces in the Fifth Heaven, not some small fry.
Yet, it was blasted into nothingness with a single punch.
Did the power of this punch not even reach the upper limit of the Fifth Heaven?
Did it not even attract the attention of the Nine Heavens Great Sage?
Lu Ye's body felt empty, but he wasn't panicked at all, slowly flying towards the distance.
He was going to find Heavenly Gate.
Heavenly Gate, after all, had suffered calamity because of him; Lu Ye, as the Sect Leader, should rightfully go to offer condolences.
It wasn't until a long time after Lu Ye left that the powerhouses in the distance dared to come and see; in this area of the Void, there was no trace of Mingfo Temple left.
Under a single punch, the entire Mingfo Temple was as if it had never appeared in the Fifth Heaven.
"Another peerless powerhouse has emerged..."
Someone muttered to himself.
"Is this the terror of a Celestial Venerable's rebirth...?"
How long had it been since Lu Ye ascended to the Fifth Heaven? Added up, it was probably less than a hundred years.
From the Star Realm to now, blasting a top force with one punch, they couldn't even understand how Lu Ye had improved.
Actually, it was right that they couldn't understand.
After all, they were not Celestial Venerables.
But there was one thing they were sure of in their hearts: they must not provoke Lu Ye! Not one bit must they provoke Lu Ye! Absolutely not one tiny bit must they provoke Lu Ye!
Lu Ye arrived at Tianmen Star.
At a glance, he saw the people kneeling outside Tianmen Star.
Hmm?
Drunken Sword Daoist knew Lu Ye was coming back and had already been waiting in advance; seeing Lu Ye appear, a brilliant smile appeared on his face.
"Hahaha, Sect Leader, welcome back!"
Drunken Sword Daoist let out a hearty laugh and went to greet Lu Ye.
"Lu Ye!"
Lin Chuyue excitedly waved at Lu Ye.
Seeing the two, Lu Ye also showed a slight smile on his face.
"Long time no see!"
After eighty years apart, which could be considered a lifetime for mortals, it could truly be called a long time no see.
"What are these people doing?" Lu Ye asked.
Those kneeling were all Undying Realm existences.
"When Mingfo Temple attacked Heavenly Gate before, these forces also participated; although they withdrew in time in the end, they still came to admit their mistake and have been kneeling here for no less than seventy years."
So there were other forces attacking Heavenly Gate?
Lu Ye thought it was just Buddhism!
"How should we handle this?" Drunken Sword Daoist asked.
"Compensation with treasures will suffice; you can discuss it with them later," Lu Ye said indifferently.
After possessing the Endless Secret Treasure, Lu Ye wasn't even very enthusiastic about treasures anymore.
His emergence this time was, firstly, to make Mingfo Temple pay the price they deserved, and secondly, to see how the Demon Clan was brewing the Demon Tide.
And also to strike An Li.
It had to be said, the reborn An Li was still very hard to find when hidden.
The System searched repeatedly.
Now it could basically be confirmed that An Li was hiding within the Demon Clan, and it was unknown what kind of surprise she was brewing for herself.
"Gather the people of Heavenly Gate, I have something to do," Lu Ye said.
"Okay!"
The three of them didn't pay attention to these Undying Realm powerhouses.
After entering Tianmen Star, Drunken Sword Daoist gathered the people of Heavenly Gate.
Lu Ye sat in the main seat.
Looking at the people of Heavenly Gate arriving one by one, a moment of blankness couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
Because, he didn't recognize them!
It couldn't be said that he didn't recognize any of them, only that he didn't recognize the vast majority of them.
He hadn't killed these people in his previous life either!
"What's going on? Where are the original people?" Lu Ye said, somewhat puzzled.
"Sigh, don't mention it, many people have ascended," Drunken Sword Daoist said helplessly.
"Now I've become an old-timer in Heavenly Gate..."
Actually, those people from Heavenly Gate persisted for a while, thinking about whether any of Lu Ye's enemies would come to capture and kill them.
But after waiting for decades, no one made a move at all, so they could only ascend helplessly.
Heavenly Gate originally recruited people by inviting powerhouses and Heaven's Chosen; Lu Ye gave a lecture on the Great Dao, which directly caused the people of Heavenly Gate's Great Dao to improve rapidly, and powerhouses ascended one by one.
Now, many of the people in Heavenly Gate were unfamiliar faces to Lu Ye.
Their strength wasn't particularly strong either.
In other words, Heavenly Gate in the Fifth Heaven had forcibly ascended from a top force to a second-rate force.
There weren't many Undying Realm left.
Lu Ye...
"Lu Ye Gege!"
Suddenly, a happy voice sounded.
Two figures stepped over the threshold, one of which quickly pounced towards Lu Ye.
Hearing this voice, so familiar it couldn't be more familiar, Lu Ye's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Just as he was preparing to throw a punch.
That figure seemed to have thought of something, and her [N O V E L I G H T] body stopped abruptly!
