North Sea void.
After Kunpeng and the man in the white mask left, Nine Infants burned his origin blood essence, forcibly restoring his strength to its peak.
Just as Nine Infants recovered to his peak and prepared to kill Wen Zhong.
Suddenly, a terrifying fist imprint and an equally terrifying palm imprint struck Nine Infants in an instant.
In but an instant, Nine Infants' physical body was shattered by the horrifying punch.
Nine Infants let out an earth-shaking scream, but before his Primordial Spirit could flee from his body.
The terrifying palm imprint directly struck Nine Infants' Primordial Spirit.
In an instant, Nine Infants' Primordial Spirit was annihilated by that terrifying palm strike!
Yuan Futong, who was locked in fierce battle with Wen Zhong, turned pale in shock upon hearing the heaven-shaking scream.
When Yuan Futong saw Nine Infants being killed, he was frightened out of his wits, trembling all over.
Seeing Yuan Futong lost in a daze, Wen Zhong instantly seized the opportunity. The Male and Female Flood Dragon Purple-Gold Twin Whips transformed into divine dragons of water and fire, unleashing a terrifying strike at Yuan Futong.
In an instant, Yuan Futong was grievously wounded by the Male and Female Flood Dragon Purple-Gold Twin Whips.
Before Yuan Futong could even cry out, Wen Zhong gave him no time at all. He directly brought out the Flying Gold Sword and slashed it down upon the gravely wounded Yuan Futong.
Yuan Futong was already severely injured, and now he had to endure the terrifying strike of Wen Zhong's Flying Gold Sword.
Yuan Futong was killed on the spot by Wen Zhong.
When Yuan Futong's seventy-two feudal lords saw him killed by Wen Zhong, they were all scared out of their wits and scattered in flight.
Wen Zhong saw the seventy-two feudal lords under Yuan Futong fleeing in defeat.
Wen Zhong shouted, "All generals, heed my command! Follow this commander and slaughter every last one of Yuan Futong's seventy-two rebel armies!"
"Yes, Grand Preceptor!" The hundred thousand soldiers of Great Shang answered, their voices booming like heavenly thunder and resounding throughout the North Sea!
At this moment, beyond the heavens of the Primordial World, Kunpeng and the man in the white mask were engaged in a fierce battle.
Suddenly, Kunpeng let out a terrifying roar. "You shameless scoundrel! You used a scheme to lure the tiger from the mountain and tricked me into leaving the North Sea."
"Then you used such despicable, shameless means to kill Nine Infants?"
"Ah! Ah! Ah! I will tear you into ten thousand pieces and suppress your divine soul forever!"
"I will ensure that your divine soul never enters reincarnation for all eternity!"
The man in the white mask said coldly, "Hmph. Then let me see whether you truly have some skill, or whether you are merely boasting."
With that, Kunpeng directly raised his magical power to its peak, and the man in the white mask likewise raised his magical power to its peak.
In an instant, the man in the white mask and Kunpeng erupted into an earth-shaking battle beyond the heavens of the Primordial World!
At the same time, at Nuwa Palace, the Nuwa Sage was expounding the Dao to the Guanghan Fairy and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.
Suddenly, the Nuwa Sage erupted with heaven-shaking killing intent, her gaze turning toward the North Sea.
In that brief instant, the Nuwa Sage sensed Nine Infants' death.
When the Guanghan Fairy and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden saw the terrifying killing intent emanating from the Nuwa Sage.
They were instantly terrified out of their wits.
"Master, what happened?"
"Why have you erupted with such terrifying killing intent?"
The Nuwa Sage said coldly, "Nine Infants has fallen!"
Upon hearing this, the Guanghan Fairy and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden shot to their feet in shock, staring at the Nuwa Sage with astonished faces.
"Master, what did you say? Nine Infants has fallen???"
"Is that true? Nine Infants possessed quasi-sage cultivation. Who could possibly erase him?"
The Nuwa Sage said coldly, "I do not know who it was."
Then, the Nuwa Sage rose directly to her feet and looked at the Guanghan Fairy and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.
The Nuwa Sage said, "You two remain in Nuwa Palace. I am going to the North Sea."
"I wish to see exactly who possesses such audacity as to dare kill Nine Infants!"
The Guanghan Fairy and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden hurriedly said, "Master, let us go with you."
The Nuwa Sage shook her head. "No need."
After saying this, the Nuwa Sage took a single step into the void and vanished.
At the same time, the fall of Nine Infants and the battle between the man in the white mask and Kunpeng alarmed the foremost experts of the Primordial World.
The Supreme Purity Sage, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Cult Master, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti each used their powerful Primordial Spirits to observe the North Sea.
Beneath the Bodhi Tree of the Western Sect, Daoist Zhunti shot to his feet, staring toward the North Sea with shock in his eyes.
Daoist Jieyin said, "Junior Brother, do you wish to go to the North Sea?"
Daoist Zhunti said, "Senior Brother, let me go to the North Sea and convert the powerful expert who killed Nine Infants."
Daoist Jieyin said, "Junior Brother, if anyone goes, I'm going with you."
"At the very least, whatever happens, we'll have each other's backs."
Daoist Zhunti nodded. "Yes, Senior Brother."
Daoist Jieyin said, "Let's go."
With that, Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti vanished directly from beneath the Bodhi tree.
In the study of Longevity Immortal Palace, Di Xin learned through his clone that Nine Infants had been slain.
Di Xin was overjoyed. Then, his true body conveyed his will to the three clones.
In Di Xin's study at Longevity Immortal Palace.
Space warped, and three flashes of light streaked past. Three figures appeared out of thin air before Di Xin.
Di Xin said, "Di Chen, Di Xiao, Di Xuan, you've worked hard."
Di Chen, Di Xiao, and Di Xuan said together, "It is only right that we share our true body's burdens!"
Di Xin said, "I trust you already know why I had no choice but to summon you back."
"Because now, in the Primordial World, Hongjun, the Supreme Purity Sage, Yuanshi Tianzun, the Nuwa Sage, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti have all begun closely watching the battle in the North Sea."
"I estimate that the Nuwa Sage, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti have already gone to the North Sea."
"With our current strength, we still cannot clash head-on with the Heavenly Dao Saints. We can only avoid their sharp edge for now."
Di Chen, Di Xiao, and Di Xuan nodded. "True Body, even if you hadn't said it, we would have known."
Di Xin said, "Once our cultivation realm reaches the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, we won't need to act like this anymore."
Afterward, Di Xin sent Di Chen to the Buzhou Mountains to continue seeking resources for the Great Shang Dynasty.
Di Xin sent Di Xiao to find powerful figures such as Kong Xuan, Yuan Hong, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
Di Xin kept Di Xuan behind.
Di Xuan said, "True Body, you sent Di Chen and Di Xiao out but kept me behind. Do you have an important task to arrange for me?"
Di Xin said, "Correct."
"After Di Chen and Di Xiao killed Nine Infants, the system rewarded us with a bottle of Pangu Natal Blood Essence!"
"I want you to stay and cultivate powerful experts for the Great Shang Dynasty."
"Now that we have cultivation techniques and resources alike, we can directly begin our plan."
Di Xuan said, "Yes, True Body!"
Then Di Xin handed a list to Di Xuan.
Di Xin said, "First gather everyone on this list, then follow the plan and begin nurturing these geniuses ahead of time."
Di Xuan said, "Yes, True Body. I'll go at once."
Di Xin nodded.
In truth, Di Xin's plan was for Di Xuan to first find powerful figures such as Yang Jian, Yuan Hong, Kong Xuan, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
Then bring them back to Chaoge for cultivation.
Di Xin still had eight top-grade innate Yellow Center Plums in his possession.
Yet Di Xin had not considered giving them to these people. Their aptitudes were all at the very pinnacle.
If he let them consume the top-grade innate spiritual root, the Yellow Center Plum, he would truly be harming them.
As for who should consume the eight remaining top-grade innate Yellow Center Plums in Di Xin's possession—
Di Xin had long since chosen suitable candidates in his heart!
