The Heaven-Supporting Palm was one of the very few techniques in the Sky-Supporting Emperor Scripture, and also its signature move. Shamanic arts did not offer the multitude of techniques found in immortal arts, divine arts, demonic arts, and other disciplines, but every move was exquisitely subtle and wondrous.
The Heaven-Supporting Palm was, as its name suggested, a palm that supported heaven. Those simple words held two meanings: boundless strength capable of lifting the sky, and unrivaled defense capable of bearing its collapse. It could unleash several times the user's own strength while also dismantling or weakening an opponent's attacks, combining offense and defense. Naturally, its actual power depended on the user's cultivation realm. If performed by a Barbarian Emperor or Immortal Venerable, it truly could lift the sky and dismantle any attack.
"Such nerve..."
King Lihuo, who had already gathered his power to intimidate Xiao Ying, was naturally quick to react. With a disdainful rebuke, he likewise thrust out his right palm...
Scorchingly hot, pale-red mist instantly condensed into a blazing crimson palm, warping the void as it met the flesh-colored palm.
Smack...
The two palms collided with a muffled impact, then both collapsed and dispersed, stirring the vital energy into a frenzy and sending flames raging everywhere.
"Hmph!"
King Lihuo gave a muffled grunt and retreated half a step, staring at Xiao Ying with uncertainty and astonishment.
The many barbarians who had been watching with disdain, worry, or gloating all froze, their faces filled with bewildered disbelief. Even the Black Tower clansmen were no exception.
Both strikes had seemed like casual palm blows, yet King Lihuo had retreated half a step while Fang remained seated where he was. On the surface, Fang, the newly appointed High Priest, had actually gained a slight advantage-or at least matched him evenly!
