Background / History

Hu Yang was born in a secluded mountain village as an unusual child: an Intent Embryo with a divine pattern on his forehead, immense strength, and the ability to walk and speak from birth. Hu Erlang named him Hu Yang because the blazing sun was high when he was born. Villagers regarded him as intelligent, sensible, and unusually well-behaved. 492

At six, an Old Man sought him out and initiated his cultivation. Hu Yang immediately demonstrated overwhelming physical ability, killing more than a dozen wolves bare-handed while protecting Hu Erlang. 493

He later entered Spirit Medicine Palace, reached the Medicine Emperor realm, rescued Qing Yin from the Joyous Union Sect, and was unexpectedly elevated to Divine Son. 497 498

After dying during the Violet Nether Secret Realm expedition, Hu Yang's consciousness entered the Desert Tower and began a succession of trials in changing bodies and worlds. He repeatedly progressed through tiger, ghost, tree, python, dragon, fly, and human forms while retaining his ability to gain power by killing, devouring, or absorbing sources. 505 517 528 542 552

Chi Yu eventually reveals that Hu Yang is the incarnation of the universe's Source Intent. His true mission is to rebuild the universe and oppose the invasion threatening it. 566

Appearance

Hu Yang's appearance changes drastically with each trial body, though he is repeatedly described as exceptionally imposing in human form.

• Human Dao Body — handsome man in golden robes and boots, with long golden hair after awakening Dao Body Form. 507
• Tiger form — a gigantic golden-furred tiger with a diamond-shaped forehead pattern; later gains dark-golden fur and laws swirling around his body. 505 517

• Golden python and dragon forms — a massive golden python capable of becoming a horned, four-clawed Chaos Dragon God. 542
• Six-Winged Golden Fly — a colossal golden fly formed after devouring Jade Marrow. 552

Personality

Hu Yang is generally direct, self-assured, and dismissive of threats from opponents he considers weaker. His confidence often becomes arrogance, particularly when he gains power through rapid leveling and devouring. 519 562

He is also capable of considerable compassion. He aids Qing Yin, nurses an injured woman in a village, protects the Azure Flower Green Python while she refines the Phoenix King's Cold Pill, heals the little fly, and spares the Netherworld Ghost Emperor after surpassing him. 498 515 521 522 537 552

His pursuit of strength can turn ruthless. He annihilates cities and enemies without hesitation when they obstruct his objectives, and his conquest of the War Dynasty ultimately brings divine punishment upon him. 527 528 561
