Lu Xiaotian's thoughts raced like lightning. The other party's finger wasn't moving very fast; it was simply threading through different law-spaces. This was an overwhelming advantage in understanding and wielding the Dao of Laws.
Lu Xiaotian could use similar methods against weaker opponents, but he couldn't make it seem as though they were wrapped in countless law-spaces, the way Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor did.
His opponent wasn't even using spatial laws. Even when using other laws, he could achieve an effect nearly identical to that of spatial laws. In Lu Xiaotian's eyes, it was truly a marvel.
As expected of a Heavenly Emperor. Even a mere illusory projection could reach such heights. The finger-shadow itself shouldn't have been especially powerful, but when Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor used such an ordinary strike, it had the astonishing effect of turning the mundane into the miraculous.
For the moment, Lu Xiaotian had no good way to stop that finger. Trying to join up with Kuang Ziyou's army of pill spirits would be a death sentence—and would drag Kuang Ziyou down with him.
Lu Xiaotian had already recognized clearly that he was no match for his opponent. His only chance of survival was to join up with the few powerful experts from the Great Sun Immortal Sect.
If he abandoned Kuang Ziyou now, the man would probably not survive this tribulation. Lu Xiaotian's side did not want to leave him behind, a man who had always remained utterly sincere in the Dao of Alchemy.
At the same time, Lu Xiaotian truly wanted to witness Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor's methods. His opponent was indeed incomparably powerful. If he didn't even dare to fight an illusory clone, how could he summon enough courage to face a Heavenly Emperor's true body in the future?
