Chapter 1696: Chapter 623: Integration of Water and Fire, Mutual Generation of Two Forms, Penghu Trembles_2

Once a stance is taken, future actions will constantly be constrained.

Now, Zhang Jiadi openly serves as Luo Chen’s vassal, yet also carries the identity of a son-in-law of the Coral Sea Zhou Family.

For now, Luo Chen and the Zhou Family share aligned interests, which is manageable, but what happens if conflict arises? How will the Zhang Family Clan position itself then?

Luo Chen pays little heed to the minor schemes of his subordinates. After all, they are still useful for now, and he can use Zhang Jiadi’s hand to shear some of the Zhou Family’s wool.

If betrayal truly emerges later, he could easily act with thunderous means and execute the matter of dethroning and replacing.

In this regard, the gradual distancing of Wen Xiu and her mother from the inner core of Zhang Family power might, in fact, be a good thing.

"Ha, thinking a bit far ahead, aren’t I?"

Luo Chen chuckled lightly and stopped his steps in a water region veiled by a cluster of islands.

The area wasn’t vast, spanning barely a hundred or so li.

"Master, what do you want me to do?"

"Quite simple. Use your innate demon technique to gather the surrounding water vapor and become the Array Eye for me!"

Black King was somewhat bewildered.

But under Luo Chen’s command, he dutifully began activating that so-called "innate demon technique."

As he opened his blood-red maw, his Demon Qi surged forth wildly.

Water vapor within tens of li began frenziedly converging on him.

Luo Chen watched this spectacle, sensing the increasingly formidable momentum, and a trace of brilliance flickered in his eyes.

This Flood Dragon’s Demon Devouring Technique was indeed quite remarkable.

If allowed to continue stacking, the affected range might extend beyond a hundred li.

Maybe this explained why Middle Stage Golden Core cultivators were so helpless before Black King!

"Master, I’m reaching my limit."

Amidst Luo Chen’s quiet waiting, Black King began to show signs of strain.

Meanwhile, the water region had already turned tempestuous, the windstorm raged, resembling the end of days.

Luo Chen gave a slight nod and then drew a deep breath, his Daoist robe swelling without wind.

With one hand raised in a horizontal push, an overbearing torrent of fiery Spirit Power surged forth, its intensity roughly matching Black King’s current output.

Water and fire converged in a split-second clash, erupting instantaneously with terrifying collisions.

Unparalleled power frequently detonated in the void.

Black King’s demonic power could not rival Luo Chen’s Phoenix Force honed through years of cultivation.

Yet in its peak state, achieved through previous accumulation, it could barely match Luo Chen’s power—this being only because Luo Chen had intentionally held back.

Now, as water and fire collided fiercely, waves of destructive energy began spilling out in all directions.

Islands silently disintegrated.

Sprays of seawater reached their zenith before evaporating.

Black King’s eyes revealed a trace of terror—he was barely able to control his own power anymore.

"Master, Old Black has done wrong; do you mean to kill me?"

Luo Chen said nothing, merely focusing his gaze on the point of water-fire collision.

Suddenly.

His idle right hand began channeling another surge of Spirit Power, sketching continuously in the void.

Threads of Array Patterns began materializing in the realm.

Not only that, but in that split-second timing, Luo Chen used the mental connection between master and spiritual pet to maneuver Black King’s uncontrollable demonic power.

Under his maneuvering, the clash between water and fire started to slow, replaced gradually by a sense of harmony.

Luo Chen caught that fleeting spark of harmony, his sketching of Array Patterns growing increasingly frenzied.

Just as Black King’s strength teetered on exhaustion, Luo Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"Yes, just like this!"

In the next moment, he pushed forward with both palms, forcing water and fire to fully merge.

A Yin Yang Fish, half black and half red, materialized in the void.

At the instant the Yin Yang Fish appeared, an intangible wave of energy pulsed outward from Black King and Luo Chen, rapidly enveloping one hundred li, then expanding farther.

One hundred li, two hundred li, three hundred li...

The Eight Hundred Li Penghu shook collectively in this instant.

Heaven and Earth Qi grew ferociously chaotic; Boundless Lake’s waters roiled and frothed, terrifying water vapor rushed towards Black King.

Simultaneously, scattered fire-attribute Spirit Qi from the world converged on Luo Chen, though the quantity was minimal.

Luo Chen didn’t care for the moment—his Spirit Power still surpassed Black King’s, and even with Black King receiving added blessings from the land, he could continue releasing Spirit Power to maintain this formation.

"Taiji Formation, so this is how it works!"

Luo Chen’s eyes grew ever brighter as his understanding of the Taiji Formation deepened.

Within his Attribute Panel, the Taiji Formation, once stuck at the Perfection Level, silently broke through to the Grandmaster Level at this moment.

Black King, serving as one of the formation’s two primary Array Eyes, naturally sensed the abnormal changes in the realm.

As the formation came into being, he suddenly felt reinvigorated!

His previously drained state received infinite blessings from Heaven and Earth Qi, seemingly boundless.

However, this power was too overwhelming, leaving his heart in chaos.

He both hoped his master would quickly cease the formation and wished for it to continue further.

Luo Chen’s eyes widened to the extreme, frantically capturing every change occurring in the realm.

Through the fusion of water and fire, an even more extreme power was born—a power that triggered the convergence of water and fire spiritual energies in the world.

This was due to the formation!

But also tied to the higher-tier power itself!

And this specific gathering of spiritual energies formed a formation, as well as a unique domain.

The sensation was akin to...

"Nascent Soul Domain!"

As this realization struck a chord in his mind, the Taiji Formation could no longer hold.

With a deafening explosion.

Black King was sent flying dozens of li, crashing onto a desolate island and splitting an entire mountain peak clean in half.
