Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1618: Chapter 597: Fishing an Island with a Rod, Breaking the Formation with a Palm_3

”Go!”

The next moment, a fine thread shot out from the Black Gold Fishing Rod with a whoosh.

The thread was very short, its front end burnt and withered as if half consumed by flames, leaving only that much of it intact.

However, under the stimulation of the Fishing Elder’s Qi Power, the thread rapidly extended, reaching an unknown length.

Eventually, illuminated by the sunlight, it sank beneath the surface of the sea.

”Hold on a moment.”

The Fishing Elder instructed the three curious onlookers in a low voice and then circulated his Qi Power.

As surging Qi Power whirled about, his robe fluttered without any wind, and in just a short moment, it inflated like a large fat man.

He focused deeply, eyes locked onto the area in front of the long rod.

Suddenly.

”Ding Ding Ding...”

The bell rang.

”Hooked!”

A flash of joy appeared in the Fishing Elder’s eyes as he sharply lifted the fishing rod.

”Rise!”

The next moment, a thunderous sound that could overturn the heavens echoed across the Ten Directions Sea Domain, within an eight hundred li radius.

Seawater capsized, and land roiled.

An unremarkable, broken island was, against all odds, ”fished” up from the depths of the sea by that seemingly fragile thread.

Luo Chen couldn’t help but glance at the fishing rod and swallowed.

”What kind of Magic Item is this? I’ve never heard or seen anything like it.”

Previously he had observed closely; the fishing rod looked like a long staff, of Medium-Order grade.

The bell seemed like an alarm, and its Order was also Medium.

Especially the thread that appeared at the end—it was initially just half a piece, its front burned and withered as if it had been severed by flames.

The strangest thing was this object; its Order was indiscernible!

”Could it possibly be one of those rumored composite Magic Items?”

During his studies of Tool Casting, Han Zhan had mentioned some common knowledge.

Apart from common Magic Items and Strange Gate Magical Treasures, there was another kind: composite Magic Items.

These Magic Items consisted of several parts that were refined at the same time and could be combined later to achieve extraordinarily powerful effects.

High-Order Puppets were actually one kind of composite Magic Item and had tremendous potential.

The Fishing Elder’s set of Magic Items seemed, at present, to be such composite Magic Items.

Luo Chen’s attention was on the Fishing Elder’s extraordinary methods, but Hao Ye and Duan Li were completely captivated by the island that had been fished up.

When the island appeared, it was initially unremarkable, but soon billows of thick black smoke began to emerge, seemingly trying to engulf the entire island.

Whoosh!

The Fishing Elder’s hands gathered within his sleeves as he lowered his eyelids.

”The target of our mission lies on that island. From here on, it’s up to you.”

”This time, I will merely observe and not intervene.”

”However, as your Friend, I can offer you a piece of advice—act quickly. Once the black smoke completely shrouds the area, the Ten Directions Wuying Formation will be fully activated. Once the Array is completely open, it won’t be easily breached by you.”

Upon hearing this, the three’s faces instantly tightened.

Luo Chen stepped forward and called out loudly.

”If that’s the case, let me be the first to break the Array!”

Duan Li and Hao Ye were taken aback.

The former couldn’t help but say, ”Why not join forces, Qingyang Zi, don’t overestimate yourself.”

Hao Ye, however, said, ”Let’s see your Technique, Friend!”

Luo Chen smiled lightly, his eyes shimmering with Spirit Light as he stared directly at the space shrouded in endless black smoke.

At the same time, his hands began to continuously form signs.

His Qi Power surged wildly, eventually merging into one palm.

As he lifted his right palm, a gigantic Big Handprint vaguely appeared in the void above.

The Qi Power infused into the Big Handprint, making it more tangible, to the point where even the lines of the palm and joints of the fingers were clearly visible.

The terrifying Mana Fluctuation spread out like ripples and waves, ceaselessly expanding.

The Fishing Elder watched this scene, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

”What sort of Technique is this? Its area of effect is so large!”

”No, the power of the Technique is still accumulating. Even I feel a hint of threat from it.”

Luo Chen’s gaze shifted, searching for weak points within layers of black smoke.

Years of Cultivation and numerous cultivations had made these Spirit Vision eyes one of his foundation strengths.

Their might wasn’t apparent in normal circumstances.

But whether during study or in the thick of battle, they had brought him significant advantages.

Especially during several encounters with Array formations, where he had achieved notable feats.

With his increasing understanding of Arrays, his eyes could see farther and more clearly.

Suddenly.

A resolve sparked in Luo Chen’s heart.

”Found it, the weakness in the Array!”

He violently spurred his Qi Power, and the giant Big Handprint in the sky trembled abruptly.

”Go!”

The next instant, as Luo Chen pushed down with his hand, Qingyang’s Great Handprint also thunderously descended.

Upon the broken island, the endlessly swirling black smoke, as if sensing an impending doom, began to gather speed in an attempt to resist this earth-shattering palm strike.

However, the hastily activated Array, not having reached its peak, could manifest only limited power.

The next moment.

Boom!

A massive roar raised countless waves.

With just one strike, the Big Formation collapsed before the dumbfounded eyes of Hao Ye and Duan Li.

Countless streaks of black light burst forth from the island, shooting out in all directions.

Luo Chen’s face flushed red as he quickly retreated.

”Fellow Friends, my Qi Power is momentarily overtaxed; I need a few moments to recover. The rest is in your hands now.”

Hao Ye and Duan Li looked at each other, bewildered.

They acknowledged that the palm strike was terrifying, and even if they gave it their all, it would be very difficult to withstand.

But how did you exhaust your strength so quickly?

Seeing the black light shooting out, clearly indicating that someone hidden on the island was trying to escape, the two had no time to question Luo Chen and had to use their Techniques to intercept the fugitive.
