Unfeeling Immortal Emperor's expression shifted. Her Extinction Finger, infinitely close to the Fourth Turn, had failed to shatter her opponent's Sword Light in an instant. The properties within his Sword Intent were strange beyond belief, constantly breaking down and transforming the Dao Resonance of extinction in her finger strike, as though absorbing its power to strengthen itself.
