Summary: Earth's Supreme — Chapter: Huaiyin vs. Vermilion Bird Venerable

Key Plot Points & Events

• Huaiyin engages the Vermilion Bird Venerable in a devastating battle on a snowy mountain peak, repeatedly destroying the Venerable's phantom form with his fists.
• It's revealed that Huaiyin's astonishing power comes from a Wuwang World — a realm he forcibly merges with reality, allowing him to control true dark matter and dark energy (not the filtered versions used by ordinary Divine Priests).
• He uses dark energy to expand the void and dark matter to strike reality itself, enabling him to shatter the Venerable's Samsara Desperate Realm.
• The exchange ends in a stalemate: Huaiyin tears apart the Venerable's world, but his own body begins collapsing afterward.
• The crucial reveal: Huaiyin is an "artificial Supreme" — a human who achieved Supreme-tier power through mortal means — but his body is failing, and he is dying.
• The chapter ends with Huaiyin asking the Venerable to guess why the Torchlight Divine Tree chose Earth, implying another potential Supreme exists on the planet.

Character Developments

• Huaiyin: Revealed to be a dying man running on borrowed time. His power comes from centuries of research conducted with his master's wife and junior brother (all "visitors from beyond the heavens"). Despite his fearsome reputation, he cannot sustain his full strength and is literally bleeding out while fighting. He admits he chose to fight and die here because "this is my homeland."
• Vermilion Bird Venerable: An ancient god who quickly deduces the mechanics of Huaiyin's power. He shows grudging respect but also cold pragmatism, noting Huaiyin's weakness and expressing pity, but not mercy. He represents the old order: power earned through eons and sacrifice.

Significant Themes

• Humanity's Potential: Huaiyin's power proves mortals can imitate (and perhaps surpass) gods through genius and relentless study, standing "on the shoulders of giants."
