Qiongqi

Biodata

Background and History

Recruitment and battle with Lu Yuan

Acting on Shen Ni’s orders, Qiongqi investigated reports of a giant beast that had sent Heaven-Splitting Hou flying. He found Lu Yuan in Hou’s former territory and recognized that the immense whale was still a juvenile 7.

Qiongqi invited Lu Yuan to join the Imperial Court, offering access to the Northern Land’s Sha Qi. Lu Yuan refused because membership required obedience to Shen Ni and participation in wars. Qiongqi then tried to take him by force 7 8.

Lu Yuan swallowed much of Qiongqi’s first attack, prompting Qiongqi to switch to rapid, concentrated claw strikes. Lu Yuan eventually caught him with a tail sweep, shattering his Dharma Form and sending him flying tens of thousands of li. Qiongqi survived and, when asked where denser Sha Qi could be found, named the Myriad Sha Abyss 9 10.

Monitoring Lu Yuan

Qiongqi reported his defeat and Lu Yuan’s devouring ability to Shen Ni, who decided to test the whale’s appetite rather than immediately suppress him. While Lu Yuan slept for centuries, Qiongqi visited repeatedly and reported that he had grown hundreds of li even in his sleep 11 12 13.

From the Beast Emperor Palace, Qiongqi watched Lu Yuan’s growth and battle with Shen Ni through a water mirror. He noticed Lu Yuan recovering after Shen Ni wounded him and later concluded that even his own Dharma Form might not withstand a head-on charge from the transformed whale 20 27 28.

Truce

After Lu Yuan escaped the Myriad Sha Abyss with Chaos Demon God flesh, Qiongqi reported that he had grown nearly two thousand li and healed most of his injuries. Qiongqi argued that ordinary ferocious beast kings would be of little use against him. Shen Ni chose not to attack and sent Qiongqi to deliver his terms and assess Lu Yuan’s growth 38.

Qiongqi told Lu Yuan that the Imperial Court would not pursue the stolen flesh for the time being, but that its main Sha Veins were off-limits; unclaimed, scattered Sha Qi remained available. Lu Yuan agreed to avoid the Court’s core resources and said he planned to leave the Northern Land. Qiongqi also relayed Shen Ni’s order that the local kings should not provoke him 39.

Appearance

Qiongqi is a winged ferocious beast with dark red scales and scarlet eyes 10 11.

• Wings: He flies with wingbeats and can travel as a streak of dark red light 7 11.
• Claws: His large claws serve as both close-range weapons and a means of projecting Daluo-powered attacks 8 9.
• Battle injuries: Lu Yuan’s tail strike shattered a large section of his scales, twisted his left wing, and left blood at the corner of his mouth 10.

Personality

Qiongqi is proud of Shen Ni and the Ferocious Beast Clan’s ambitions. He considers the Imperial Court’s resources and backing powerful incentives, and he reacts angrily when Lu Yuan rejects the invitation and shows little reverence for the Beast Emperor 7 8.

His assessment of Lu Yuan becomes more cautious after their battle. He recognizes both the whale’s growing strength and his lack of interest in killing without cause, and argues against sending ordinary kings to surround him 38.

Abilities & Skills

Daluo Law Power and Principles

Qiongqi is a Daluo Golden Immortal whose presence alone frightens lesser ferocious beasts 8.

• Projected claw: He gathers baleful Qi into a vast claw print carrying Daluo Principles. Lu Yuan swallowed much of its energy, although its impact and Principle still caused slight damage 9.
• Concentrated strikes: By compressing his power into his claws, Qiongqi cracked Lu Yuan’s scales without releasing as much energy for him to devour 9.
• Dharma Form: He manifests a larger, winged Qiongqi form to resist attacks. It briefly stopped Lu Yuan’s tail before being driven back and shattered 10.

Speed and flight

Qiongqi can move fast enough to leave dark red afterimages, striking and retreating before Lu Yuan can turn to follow him 9.

• His repeated attacks concentrated around Lu Yuan’s head and neck, giving the whale a predictable area to target 9 10.

Divine Sense

Qiongqi uses Daluo-level Divine Sense to inspect distant areas and living beings 7.

• He examined the crater left by Heaven-Splitting Hou’s impact and later detected Lu Yuan’s growth during sleep 7 13.
• He used it to survey the vegetation and creatures living on Lu Yuan’s back 39.
