As he closed in, Li Tianming hurled the dao treasure he had seized from the young master of the Star Demons. The Star-Shaking Pearl abruptly swelled to hundreds of billions of meters across and bore down on the woman in white like a giant silver star!
"Hmph!"
The woman in white snorted and gathered a vast amount of Astral Realm power, forming an enormous shield of white clouds before her.
Boom!
The Star-Shaking Pearl slammed into the shield with a world-shattering roar. The woman in white was blasted hundreds of billions of meters backward, nearly striking the edge of the Starry Sky Disk. Yet apart from the violent churn of her blood, she was unharmed. Instead, the Star-Shaking Pearl went flying!
"How embarrass—"
Before she could finish, the purple figure appeared behind her and struck with his palm!
Heaven-Covering Palm!
Li Tianming's Heaven-Covering Palm had changed tremendously!
For one thing, after the Heaven-Stealing Eye reached the eighth stage of Fate Reincarnation, Star-Stealing Cloud had grown far more powerful. In an instant, it devoured an enormous amount of "dao spirits."
At the same time, the Pulse Field could absorb dao spirits on its own. Though there weren't many inside the Starry Sky Disk, Li Tianming sucked them all in at once, channeling some of the Pulse Field's might into his palm strike.
There was a third point, easily overlooked but just as important: Li Tianming had closed in and brought his palm straight down on her face. The blow carried an immense burst of physical strength, and that strength had grown stronger, too.
In that instant, the woman in white sensed how terrifying the strike was.
"Gather!"
She yanked back her Astral Realm Divine Sword, but countless counterveins still coiled around it, binding it fast within the four Pulse Field manifestations.
