Chapter Summary

• Di Xin kills the black-robed expert: Inside Di Xin’s Invincible Domain, the black-robed expert’s mana, Great Dao laws, divine soul, and even the surrounding space-time are completely sealed.

When he probes the Great Shang Dynasty’s Human Realm, he senses an intense danger and wonders whether a hidden peak-level expert resides there.
• Hongjun retreats: During his battle with Di Xiao, Hongjun senses the black-robed puppet’s death and becomes terrified. He exchanges one final attack with Di Xiao before using a secret technique to flee. Di Xiao initially intends to pursue him, but follows an order telling him not to continue the chase.
• The three supreme experts react: Hongyu, Hun Jue, and Yuan Yi observe the destruction of the battle puppet they created. They are unable to understand how Di Xin killed a puppet that had reached the middle stage of the Chaos Infinity Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, despite Di Xin’s cultivation being only at the peak of the early stage.
• Speculation about Di Xin’s power: The three experts debate whether Di Xin possesses a supreme treasure capable of killing enemies across realms. Hun Jue rejects this possibility, arguing that no known primordial or Chaos supreme treasure could produce such a huge advantage. Yuan Yi instead suggests that Di Xin may have mastered a terrifying forbidden technique. They conclude that Di Xin is currently weakened because of its use, making the technique especially valuable.
• Decision to act together: The three supreme experts resolve to travel jointly to the Great Shang Dynasty and seize Di Xin’s forbidden technique. They also fear the Universe Ancestor may target Di Xin, so they agree to prevent him from obtaining the technique even if they cannot claim it themselves. Any one of the three who acquires it will be required to share it with the others.
