Chapter 668: Just a Punch

The overwhelming essence of heaven and earth poured down like a torrential rain, drenching the world.

In a very short time, the massive fall of Celestial Lords led to their dissipated energy scattering in all directions.

This is one of the rules of how heaven and earth function.

Cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their own bodies.

However, once they fall, the spiritual energy returns to the world. Even after a battle, the terrifying energy unleashed, once clashing, will ultimately dissipate back into the purest form of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy.

That’s why, after epic battles, places often become Forbidden Lands or Fortunate Lands.

Because the emergence of either is due to an overwhelming concentration of spiritual energy, resulting in such scenarios.

And now, with the Celestial Lords falling.

Whether it’s the fallen essence or the power of the Celestial Lords, Lu Ye can only absorb a portion, while the rest will scatter.

But because the power of the Celestial Lords is too condensed, these energies won’t immediately turn into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; they will slowly change over time.

Even so, one can still feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth starting to rise.

This is also why, after a decline, a prosperous era can arise again. Decline happens when there are too many strong individuals, while a prosperous era is born from the deaths of too many strong ones, having a certain lagging effect.

Of course, there’s another situation that differs.

That is the emergence of a Saint.

Once a Saint leaves this realm, the spiritual energy taken away by the Saint disappears forever.

This is also the reason behind the saying: “As long as Saints don’t die, great thieves will never cease.”

A man entwined by dragon python appeared between heaven and earth.

His murderous intent was terrifying, his eyes blood-red.

Clearly, he held deep-seated grudges.

“I want you dead!”

Chu Shenli roared with fury.

He unleashed the supreme divine ability.

Dragons and pythons roared, shaking the sky, with countless dragon pythons soaring into the air, forming a terrifying tide rushing towards Lu Ye.

“Dragon Python Breaking Heaven!”

Chu Shenli, a Saint’s offspring, was born amid astonishing phenomena and had dragon python power from a young age.

He traveled through the three thousand worlds, with few rivals.

His momentum was extremely fierce, already showing signs of becoming a Saint. Just as he was about to shine with dual Saint glory, the Invincible Sword Saint showed up and brutally killed his father.

Even though his father sent him away before dying, Chu Shenli couldn’t bear it.

The Primordial World occupies the core of three thousand worlds; it clearly seemed to be in decline but refused to face reality. Two stubborn entities preferred to be battered by numerous Saints rather than leave.

Now, he wanted to annihilate all beings in this world, completely destroying what those two scoundrels protected.

“Die!”

Chu Shenli’s blood-red eyes let out a thunderous roar.

Lu Ye, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but sneer.

Is that it?

His breath was overwhelming, thought he was strong? He couldn’t even compare to the Reincarnation Celestial Lord who came out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Lu Ye didn’t even need to gather strength; he unleashed a Celestial Lord Fist.

Just one fist mark.

What dragon, what python? Under the fist mark, all that remains was wailing and a shattered fate.

Lu Ye’s figure followed after the fist mark.

The dragon python shattered.

Chu Shenli’s pupils constricted dramatically, filled with disbelief.

No way, how could he be this strong?

Below a Saint, can there be such a powerful Celestial Lord?

“Boom!”

Lu Ye, with an unstoppable force, obliterated all the dragon pythons.

The fist mark was now in front of Chu Shenli. In reality, this punch could have crushed him along with Chu Shenli, but Lu Ye held back the kill.

“How could this be… how is this possible…”

Blood dripped from Chu Shenli’s nose, his expression vacant, filled with disbelief.

Even if he was close to a Saint, as long as he hadn’t become one, it shouldn’t be possible for someone to completely shatter his Celestial Lord divine powers with one strike.

And the opponent clearly had the chance to kill him but chose to hold back at a critical moment. What does that indicate?

It shows the opponent wasn’t even trying his hardest!

“What are the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and the Invincible Sword Saint doing now?”

Lu Ye asked.

“I’ll never tell you even if I die!”

Lu Ye released a cloud of white mist, fiercely slamming it into Chu Shenli’s body. He rapidly formed hand seals, and numerous marks appeared on Chu Shenli, completely sealing him.

“Ahhh!”

At this moment, Chu Shenli endured an unbearable pain.

As his eyes blinked, yet another Forbidden Land appeared.

Lu Ye tossed Chu Shenli to the Primordial Dao Lord and resumed his slaughter.

A lone figure faced an appearance of seemingly endless Forbidden Lands; this scene reflected in the eyes of many strong beings, stirring their hearts and making them unbelievably excited.

A single person stood against countless Forbidden Lands.

What a bold move that is!

Should the world survive this time, Lu Ye’s figure would undoubtedly leave an indelible mark in history.

Lu Ye had already left behind an abundance of legends.

Eternal Genius Ranking number one.

Professional demon killer.

Level-jumping madman.

The emperor killed the great emperor.

The great emperor killed the Celestial Lord.

Calculated the demise of the alien Saint.

Now, at the pinnacle of the great emperor, he stood alone against the alien Forbidden Lands, leaving countless Celestial Lords dead or injured.

The surging essence of heaven and earth was clearly the blood and tears of Celestial Lords dispersing.

“Kill!”

Lu Ye roared once more.

His figure violently smashed through a massive mountain ablaze with purple flames, his hands clawing, extinguishing all fire-related divine abilities released by the opponent, capturing their neck.

Not stopping!

That childish-sized, flame-wreathed holy spirit didn’t want to resist?

It simply couldn’t stop him.

Its proud flames fiercely scorched Lu Ye’s body, but Lu Ye didn’t even flinch.

One hand gripped the neck while the other smashed forward.

“Boom!”

The opponent exploded into a shower of sparks.

Another Celestial Lord was brutally slain by Lu Ye.

The Emperor’s Banner didn’t even bother to feel sorry for the Celestial-level True Spirits, whether they were True Spirits or remnants, all were squeezed into soul juice.

Otherwise, how much soul juice would it take to transform this Celestial Lord’s True Spirit into a ghost?

This fake eye was in utter shocked confusion.

Killing… so fast?

This guy’s strength seems ridiculously strong.

So it stood dumbfounded for a moment, and without a doubt, the Saints outside the world were bewildered as well.

They couldn’t comprehend why so many Celestial Lords’ forces were pushed into this Primordial World, only to be dealt with swiftly like chopping vegetables.

What does this mean?

We’re all Celestial Lords. Why is there such a vast gap?

To be clear, this threat of deploying Forbidden Lands is not new; it had occurred before, during the Compassionless Era.

In the Compassionless Era, the Compassionless Sage appeared, devoid of any feelings for heaven and earth, utterly unprepared to protect the realm. Once he stepped out, he was surrounded and hunted by outside Saints, forcing him to retaliate.

As for deploying Forbidden Lands?

Even if the world behind him exploded right now, what would it matter to him?
