Chapter Summary: “Innate Great Luck”

• The Founder initially appears to be pretending to be Champion Marquis, attempting to exploit Hong Yi’s assumptions and gain an advantage. Hong Yi sees through the disguise and recognizes that the Founder is using the battle to forge a new divine ability.
• Hong Yi reveals his self-created technique, “Wind-Following Xun,” a fusion of Dao arts and martial arts. Its immense speed binds the Founder’s thoughts and prevents him from activating the Imperial Ultimate Countercurrent Art, which can reverse the flow of time.
• The Great Zhou Founder counters by transforming his thousands of thoughts into Great Annihilation God Kings, breaking through Hong Yi’s restraints. He then merges his soul, qi, blood, and Sky City’s power, forming a powerful Red Refined Primordial Copper true body.
• Hong Yi responds with overwhelming force, using the Nine Palaces Thunder Trigram, sword intent derived from Pan Emperor’s Life Sword, and the combined principles of Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and the Nine Palaces Array.

• Hong Yi also becomes more perceptive and cautious. He understands that the Founder’s historical reputation and “great fortune” make him exceptionally dangerous, and he concludes that schemes and temporary alliances will not work against him. Only overwhelming strength can secure victory.
• Great Zhou Founder reveals his extraordinary resilience and strategic intelligence. Rather than panicking when restrained, he converts his trapped thoughts into Great Annihilation God Kings and uses Hong Yi’s attack as an opportunity to complete his own transformation.

Significant Themes
