Yun Che's fist was firmly caught in his opponent's grip. That seemingly thin palm remained as immovable as an iron vise, while the power of All Things Return to One within his fist was silently neutralized.
He could clearly feel the scorching heat coming from his opponent's palm, as though he were gripping a red-hot branding iron. Even his Primordial Unity Extreme Spirit Power stirred slightly.
"How I did it is not something I'll share with you." A cold glint flashed through Yun Che's eyes. His left hand quietly formed a seal, and faint ripples spread through the space around him. "You've tried to kill me repeatedly. Don't you owe me an explanation?"
Before his words had faded, he abruptly activated the seal in his left hand, unleashing the Illusory Body Wandering Dragon Step to its fullest. His figure left three ghostlike afterimages where he stood, attacking Li Ren's upper, middle, and lower body.
At the same time, an even more violent power erupted from his captured right fist. Black Primordial Unity Extreme Spirit Power intertwined and surged with the hazy gray all things ash power, actually tearing a tiny cut in Li Ren's palm.
Li Ren's pupils contracted slightly. A stinging pain came from the palm gripping Yun Che's fist, something he had never experienced since becoming a Great Emperor.
He could clearly sense that familiar yet unfamiliar power within Yun Che. It possessed both the overwhelming might to destroy heaven and earth and the eerie ability to bring deathly stillness to all things. These two utterly different powers were perfectly fused into a terrifying force that made even his heart tremble.
"Interesting." A playful smile curved Li Ren's lips. He tightened his right hand slightly, and scorching flame power erupted, seeking to burn Yun Che's fist to nothing.
