Background

Little Marten is a Sky Demon Marten of royal bloodline and the son of his tribe's clan leader. He was formerly a peak Death Profound Realm expert, but his body was destroyed when the Demonic Domain pursued the Ancestral Stone roughly a century earlier. He escaped with his demon spirit intact, though severely injured. 12 243

He later remained concealed in the Mysterious Stone Talisman, where he encountered Lin Dong. While initially acting as a knowledgeable but arrogant guide, he was deeply wary of threats powerful enough to detect him through the talisman. 10 11

Lin Xuan exposed his presence in Flame City and recognized his exceptional bloodline. In exchange for demon spirits, Little Marten agreed to attack Lin Xuan at full strength so that Lin Xuan could observe the Sky Demon Marten cultivation path. The encounter established Little Marten's lasting respect—and caution—toward the Sword Saint. 11 12 194

Appearance

Little Marten can appear as an illusory marten, a humanoid young man, or his complete Sky Demon Marten true form.

• In human form, he is a handsome, bewitchingly youthful young man dressed in purple-black or luxurious purple robes. 111 113 253
• His transformed form is a gigantic purple-black demonic beast with enormous purple-gold bat wings. 263 281
• The purple-gold wings identify him as a member of the Sky Demon Marten royal bloodline. 263
• During his early weakened state, he manifested only as an illusory figure outside the Mysterious Stone Talisman. 11

Personality

Little Marten is proud, theatrical, and quick to call himself “Marten Lord.” His confidence stems from his royal bloodline, former cultivation, and vast knowledge of the cultivation world. He dislikes being treated as subordinate to others, particularly because of his status within the Sky Demon Marten Tribe. 191 194

Despite his vanity, he is pragmatic when faced with overwhelming strength. Lin Xuan's ability to detect and suppress him immediately forced Little Marten to abandon his usual arrogance; his respect for Lin Xuan later became sincere. 11 12 194

He treasures the close bonds he forms with Lin Dong, Little Flame, and Gu Mengqi. Having had few genuine friends in his clan, he becomes exceptionally protective of those he considers family and reacts violently to threats against them. 111 122 263
