Long Tianyin's expression darkened. His right hand lifted from the armrest of the throne, his five fingers spread, and he clenched them in Situ Xuan's direction.
The Hand of Order condensed once more. This time, it was not a single palm descending from the sky, but countless palms appearing from every direction at once, sealing off every space above, below, left, right, front, and back of Situ Xuan, forming a cage made of hands.
Situ Xuan's body spun inside the cage, his legs turning into two golden whirlwinds—Eight Extremes Heaven, Blade Chaos Thunder.
