The King of Black Fog

Pollen fills the air, Li Changzhou opens his mouth and inhales.

"Get down here for me!" He exerts strength once again.

Boom!

The Teny Fish is pulled out of the waterfall, drawing an arc in the air and crashing heavily into the pool.

The water in the pool rushes out like fleeing from a famine, flooding the nearby forests.

"What is this!" The crowd watches, dumbfounded.

Why can a mere human body accomplish what a divine body cannot?

"No, that's not right." Li Changzhou gently lands on the thin surface of the water, his expression dazed.

"I succeeded, but only halfway. The power of the skill turned into pollen, but the skill itself still exists. The skill of the Teny Fish not only transforms into Strength but also serves as scale armor defense..."

The Teny Fish bites onto five S-level skills and refuses to let go, sweeping its tail.

This strike, even the Earth could be shattered!

Boom!

Li Changzhou shoots out.

His hands still firmly clutch the black rope, while the Teny Fish's chest fins strive to hold the ground, attempting a tug-of-war, ultimately being dragged into the air.

One person and one fish, small and large, twirl in the sky.

The Teny Fish can't fly, and Li Changzhou seems to have forgotten how to fly.

Suddenly, he stands in the sky, then pulls the fluttering black rope, immediately taut.

Pollen inhaled, he smashes with effort.

Bam!!!

Mountain Sea City trembles, even the three solar Giant Pythons biting their tails in the sky nearly let go.

Like a humanitarian killing fish, Li Changzhou slams the Teny Fish onto the ground, as if stunning it beforehand.

Li Changzhou lands on the fish head.

"Quiet." He slaps a palm down.

The heavenly intention still trying to rise to battle directly gets dizziness, even spitting out five S-level Dao Flowers.

The pollen grows fainter, quickly disappearing, leaving Li Changzhou weak.

Not weak from the disappearance of strong power, but from exhausting almost all his Strength by making all Dao Flowers release pollen.

Not just Mana, not God's Will, and certainly not Thunder Dao Divine Form or Qi Divine Form.

All Dao Flowers bloom, with all Strength simultaneously consumed.

The five S-level Dao Flowers fly back to the treetop, the Primordial Divine Tree expels and inhales essence and Qi, giving Li Changzhou a bit of spare energy.

"Brother." Li Qianxia comes down.

Li Changzhou pays no heed; he was already focused enough, and with the S-level "Concentration" returning, he's nearly lost perception of the external world.

As long as there's no hostility, he won't respond.

All Dao Flowers rise, leaving the tree crown, as pollen falls, resembling shooting stars.

The pollen's effect worsened, and there's no need to use it as a weapon...a mere chicken rib.

Petals swirl, each becoming a petal, all petals forming a fist-sized Dao Flower floating above Li Changzhou's head.

A teal light spills, accompanied by pollen.

Pollen can achieve 'Universal Unity', and the teal light can defend, akin to the wonders of the Teny Fish.

No.

Scale armor is part of the body; Dao Flowers are always external objects, with risks of being blown away.

Petals peel piece by piece, adhering to Li Changzhou, finally composing a set of bright silver armor.

The armor is fully enclosed, tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of pitch-black eyes.

Clearly formed by petals, yet possessing a metallic texture, laws interwoven, just by looking, one can feel the vast and magnificent power within.

Li Changzhou raises his right hand, suddenly clenching his fist with five fingers!

Boom!

Air currents whirl, actually giving the sense that the sky and Earth might be overturned by this gale.

"Universal Unity, is this the enlightenment explained by the black and white fish?" Li Changzhou feels he now can slay heavenly positions.

The Teny Fish suddenly disintegrates, transforms into strips of Heavenly Principle Rings, rushing toward the Primordial Divine Tree, weaving around the tree trunk.

The Primordial Divine Tree soars to the sky, radiates Infinite Light, as if standing at the world's center!

[Not good!] Guanyin exclaims.

"Careful!" Yang Qinglan's face, delicate as Immortal Jade, turns frantic.

Li Changzhou says nothing, unable to speak; he is suppressing with all his might!

"What's happening?" Li Qianxia asks anxiously.

"Azhou has comprehended heavenly intent on his own, the Teny Fish is merging with him, he's going to ascend to heavenly position!" Yang Qinglan replies quickly.

"What?!?" The crowd is shocked.

Astonished by Li Changzhou's talent, equally surprised by the sudden accident—the level of this heavenly intent is unknown but surely not one of the top ten mightiest.

Once Li Changzhou ascends, he'll permanently lose the chance to merge with the top ten mightiest heavenly intents.

Why have Guanyin and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva not achieved Buddhahood yet? It's because they refuse to fuse with ordinary heavenly intents.

Li Changzhou's momentum grows stronger, increasingly close to heavenly position.

"Break!"

The armor explodes, turning into petals across the sky.

If it were solely his own enlightenment of heavenly intent, actively breaking 'Universal Unity' now would surely interrupt the heavenly position ascension.

But!

The heavenly intent he's enlightened on is right beneath him, transforming into Heavenly Principle Rings, merging into his body.

He's left with no choice but to ascend!

Forced into ascension!

[Too late.] Guanyin sighs.

Threads of heavenly might already emerge on Li Changzhou.

"Not done yet!" Li Changzhou's expression contorts.

The sacred Primordial Divine Tree suddenly emits black mist, he manipulates the mist to devour the Heavenly Principle Rings!

Guanyin watches, stunned, murmuring: [Devour heavenly intent, seize creation from heaven...is it possible?]

[Whether possible or not, it must be done!]

If it were truly his own enlightenment of heavenly intent, Li Changzhou would not resist. But this was mere coincidence, he happened to touch upon this heavenly intent and thus comprehend it.

Like practicing calligraphy, imitating a master's handwriting, increasingly alike, unable to change for a lifetime—how could he consent?

"Black mist, devour for me!"
