I Am Overlord

Chapter 1651: Divine Sinister Space Palm

Xiang Shaoyun was stunned from the shock. The Western Desert’s strongest man was actually his master’s junior brother. The so-called Lord Wu Xie was actually an old monster who had been alive for countless years. But from Wu Xie’s words, it did not seem like he had a harmonious relationship with his senior brother.

“Alright. Let’s not talk about the past anymore. I called you over because I wanted to meet you and see if you were able to meet my senior brother’s expectations. At the same time, I also have some things I wish to pass on to you,” said Wu Xie.

He then brought Xiang Shaoyun out of the bamboo building. As he walked, he said, “Your growth is decent, but you are slightly rash. Thus, I had the earlier performance arranged to help reveal the path ahead of you. Your comprehension is indeed astonishing, as you were able to quickly see through the true nature of what I was showing you. No wonder my senior brother is so protective of you. You have not disappointed him. If you had agreed to become my disciple, you definitely wouldn’t have done any worse than now. Fortunately, Little Mu Mu does not disappoint as a disciple either.”

Xiang Shaoyun merely listened silently. He was still recovering from the shock that Wu Xie was his master’s junior brother. Before long, the two arrived at the shore of the island. A gentle breeze brushed through them, causing their clothes to flutter about, giving the two a carefree appearance.

“My senior brother carries a heavy burden. The honor he holds dear in his heart is something I will never be able to understand. As his successor, you will be shouldering a heavy burden as well. Thus, you need sufficient strength. Only then will you be able to fulfill my senior brother’s expectations. Since I have disappointed my senior brother once, I hope you do not disappoint him like me. I’ll be passing on to you some of my comprehension. As for how much you can get out of it, you can only rely on yourself. Watch properly.”

Xiang Shaoyun placed all his attention on Wu Xie’s every move. He wanted to see just what was so special about this martial uncle of his. Wu Xie stood still. Before long, he became one with the world around him. His presence vanished completely. That was the human heaven unity state. The ease with which he had entered the state would probably shock all onlookers.

Then, he moved.

Spatial lock!

He reached out with his palm and grabbed at the sky. An incorporeal palm instantly manifested and grabbed the sky above them. Even all the clouds in the sky fell within his palm, as though they had all been reduced into his plaything. That was a terrifying palm, a palm that could pluck space itself.

Of course, a feat like that wasn’t exactly rare among Gods. However, that was not all Wu Xie had to show. He pulled his palm back, instantly and easily erasing the space caught within his palm. Nothing remained.

Spatial erasure!

Xiang Shaoyun’s eyeballs almost popped out from sheer astonishment. That attack was so destructive it was unreal. Even someone with control over the power of space would probably fail to escape destruction when faced with that move.

“This is merely a warm-up. As for the actual technique, it’s better for me to show you outside the dominion,” said Wu Xie as he dragged Xiang Shaoyun high into the sky with his energy. Before long, they arrived at the space beyond the dominion.

Xiang Shaoyun had just calmed himself down when Wu Xie moved yet again. Aiming at a distant spot, he pushed his palm out. The palm seemed mundane and unimpressive, as though it did not carry any sort of energy with it. And yet, an explosion instantly erupted ahead of them.

Boom!

Divine Sinister Space Palm!

A casual slap by Wu Xie had caused a series of explosions. The explosions were powerful enough to end worlds. This palm was definitely no weaker than the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist.

The most ominous part of the technique was that it could actually strike its target from a distance without anyone even realizing that an attack had been unleashed. It was basically a divine palm created to skip space itself when attacking.

“This is the Divine Sinister Space Palm I created myself. It can instantly transfer energy between spatial nodes, creating an immensely destructive attack. Only someone with an absolute understanding of the profundity of space can grasp this technique. Thus, I suggest you devote some time to studying the art of formations. That will serve as a perfect bridge to help you comprehend the dao of space,” said Wu Xie.

“I see. Let me give it a try,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He started replaying Wu Xie’s move repeatedly within his mind, searching for the key points of the technique.

He then unleashed several palm attacks, but he failed to release the same attack Wu Xie had unleashed.

“My Divine Sinister Space Palm is not something you can grasp so easily,” said Wu Xie with a smile. He then proceeded to share even more of his experience with the technique with Xiang Shaoyun. He also shared some mnemonic chants that would be helpful for mastering the technique.

Soon, Xiang Shaoyun gained a deep understanding of the technique. He noiselessly entered the human heaven unity state and summoned his previous experience in building teleportation formations to search for the spatial nodes near him. Then, he focused his spirit and energy on the same spot before pushing his palm forward.

Divine Sinister Space Palm!

Boom!

An explosion erupted not far ahead of him. Although the explosion wasn’t as powerful as Wu Xie’s and it wasn’t as far ahead, the attack had indeed skipped space to travel forward.

Wu Xie was dumbstruck. He had spent years creating the Divine Sinister Space Palm. But now, Xiang Shaoyun had grasped it so easily. A heavy blow was dealt to his prideful heart.

“My attack is still far weaker than martial uncle’s attack,” muttered Xiang Shaoyun gloomily.

Right after he said that, Wu Xie slapped the back of his head and said, “You damned kid, why are you acting so cocky? It is almost freakish that you can reach this level of mastery so soon after you were taught it.”

Xiang Shaoyun rubbed the back of his head and asked, “Is that so? But I feel like it is quite a difficult technique to master.”

“Anyone else would probably need no less than 10 years to reach the same level of mastery. Not even a God would be exempt from that,” said Wu Xie seriously.

“Oh, let me keep practicing!” Xiang Shaoyun was feeling somewhat smug after hearing what his martial uncle had to say. Of course, he did not let himself get too overconfident. After all, he was someone with the Light of Wisdom. With Wu Xie personally imparting the technique to him, it wouldn’t be too hard for him to grasp it quickly. Furthermore, he was already a formation grandmaster.

The Divine Sinister Space Palm required a deep comprehension of the dao of space. Someone like Xiang Shaoyun, who had comprehended numerous profundities and had deep mastery over formations, would not have a hard time comprehending the dao of space.

Of course, he had only mastered a tiny fraction of what the dao of space was capable of. There was no comparing him and someone like Wu Xie, who had a deep comprehension of the dao of space.

Xiang Shaoyun might have created the Three Lives Fist, making the fist technique his most destructive move, but the Divine Sinister Space Palm was still an extremely impressive technique. It would greatly increase his combat strength, giving him more ammunition against Blood Spirit in the future.

Xiang Shaoyun knew very well just how fast Blood Spirit could grow. Thus, he could not afford to fall behind.
