"Boom!"
A palm as white as jade collided with the pair of gray horns atop Yu Wudi's head. The earth-shaking impact sent sparks flying, as though divine metals had clashed.
Terrifying power surged over him like towering waves. Driven to its fullest by Lunar Essence Shi Yi, the Ultimate Strength Method made the Nine-Nether Ao tremble all over. His wolf head shook violently, his vision went black, and he nearly fainted.
