Pillars of dazzling light rose from beneath He Ao's feet.
In an instant, those pillars pierced heaven and earth. Like colossal supports holding up the sky, they forcibly blocked the descending palm.
Bright radiance flashed around He Ao, forming a circle and creating a wall of light that temporarily kept the surrounding starlight snowflakes at bay.
The densely packed giant pillars lit up one after another, all the way to the end of the sky.
The reflection formed from the starry sky lowered its head and looked beneath its palm.
From its angle, it should not have been able to see the area obscured by the giant hand.

Twisted Purple Radiance seeped from beneath his jade-like skin and condensed into dark crimson blood.

The shadowy palm rising from the ground below accelerated, suddenly shooting upward.
The radiant pillars supporting heaven and earth trembled. Fine cracks spread across the flickering pillars like fishing nets.
The enormous starry-sky reflection stared at the figure below. Its starlight-outlined face returned to an indifferent expression, even colder and more merciless than before.

The shadowy palm descending from the sky increased its force again.
Crack, crack, crack--
More and more cracks appeared on the pillars, crawling over them like dense spiderwebs.
Then,
Bang--
A pillar beneath the center of the palm shattered with a roar. Then,
Bang! Bang! Bang!--
Countless pillars
