A long-awaited fusion...
Cough!
Compared to the first encounter, this second fusion felt vastly different to Jiu Ming. The most obvious difference was the degree to which power could be unleashed.

Without further hesitation, he lightly stepped on the sea's surface and instantly arrived at the edge of the boundary line. He pressed a hand against the barrier before him. The barrier, already distorted by the collision of two domains, immediately caved inward.
Then Jiu Ming passed through without hesitation!

Previously, their various domains had been separated as they
