Background

A transmigrator with knowledge of the original story, Xiao Yang cultivated relentlessly from age four in order to reach Fighter before the Xiao Family's annual test. Success at age nine secured a Heaven-tier novice package from his system, including the Great Sun Glazed Art and Vajra Glazed Body. He kept both the system and much of his true strength hidden from those around him. 1 4 61

His early cultivation required extraordinary endurance. The Great Sun Glazed Art's circulation demands initially drained his entire Dou Qi vortex before even one-tenth of a cycle, while training Vajra Glazed Body inflicted severe pain and imposed extreme physical requirements. 2 7

Xiao Yang regards the Xiao Family's older generation as shortsighted and incompetent, particularly over their failure to strengthen the clan's foundations. Nevertheless, he intends to protect the younger generation, eliminate internal corruption, and secure the clan's future. 53

Appearance

Xiao Yang began the story as a nine-year-old boy, but his body and appearance changed substantially through cultivation and transformations. By the time he met Hei Qing, he stood approximately 1.96 meters tall. 1 165

• His Vajra Glazed Body can enlarge his childlike form into that of an adult man, with dark-golden skin and a body resembling forged gold. 3
• Cyclops-derived gigantification lets him grow as large as fifty meters; at maximum size, he can sustain the form for roughly three minutes. 15
• His originally blood-red Heavenly Demon Blood Eyes developed rotating golden runes, then evolved into Double Pupils. 49 54
• His Bankai transformation changes his snow-white robes to jet-black. 138

Personality

Xiao Yang is exceptionally driven, cautious, and pragmatic. He conceals advantages that would draw dangerous attention, plans around future threats such as Soul Hall, and uses his prior knowledge to locate treasures, anticipate events, and manipulate negotiations. 4 53 68

He is protective of people he considers his own, aiding Xiao Yan's cultivation, rescuing Qing Lin, supporting Xiao Yi Xian's poison-body treatment, and investing resources in allies and family. 70 90 145 161

At the same time, Xiao Yang is ruthless toward enemies and factions that oppose him. He destroys hostile forces, absorbs or refines the souls and bodies of defeated foes, and views strength as the necessary basis for protecting those under his care. 55 152 158 210

Abilities & Skills

Great Sun Reincarnation Sky-Burning Scripture

Xiao Yang began with the Heaven-tier Great Sun Glazed Art, a light-, fire-, and metal-leaning cultivation technique that produces golden Great Sun Glazed Dou Qi. He later fused it with the Flame Mantra and Nine Netherworld Dark Fire Mysterious Skill, creating the Mid-Heaven Tier Great Sun Reincarnation Sky-Burning Scripture. 1 13 83

• His initial Heaven-tier cultivation method can replenish depleted Dou Qi in approximately two or three seconds. 4
• At the Dou King realm, it absorbs surrounding natural energy regardless of attribute, converts it into fire-attributed energy, and refines it into his own Dou Qi. 43
• The evolved scripture balances his light-aligned battle qi with dark-aligned soul power and can devour Heavenly Flames to advance. 83

Vajra Glazed Body

A Heaven-tier body-forging Dou Technique that combines offense and defense by fusing Dou Qi into Xiao Yang's bones, flesh, blood, and skin. It is compatible with the Great Sun Glazed Art's body-strengthening properties. 3 7

• Grants explosive physical strength, including the ability to injure or kill opponents above his visible cultivation level. 4
• Allows enlargement into a golden giant; the Cyclops ability expanded its original size limitation. 16
• Its full-power use once drained all of Xiao Yang's Dou Qi, though his cultivation technique rapidly restores the expenditure. 4

Yuan Magnetic Xuan Gang Overlord Body

An Earth-tier advanced body cultivation technique originally created by Xiao Xuan in imitation of Void Ancient Dragon traits. 53 165

• Uses earth-vein vital energy to strengthen the body and forms a Yuan Magnetic Force Barrier. 31 53
• The barrier functions through geomagnetic force and, combined with Yang Five Thunder's electromagnetic power, serves as Xiao Yang's first layer of defense. 53
• Its ultimate physical potential reaches the Dou Zun level, where the cultivator's body can rival an eighth-tier Void Ancient Dragon. 53

Heavenly Flames

Xiao Yang possesses and refines multiple Heavenly Flames, foremost among them the Yin-Yang Dual Flame and Great Sun Glazed Fire. 22 83

• The Yin-Yang Dual Flame enabled his breakthrough to Da Dou Shi and was later used to refine corpses, purify bloodline power, and assist in pill refinement. 23 152
• His Great Sun Glazed Fire devoured Sun True Fire and acquired enhanced holiness and cleansing power. 18
• He used the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, Yin-Yang Dual Flame, and Nine Dragons Thunder Flame to evolve his cultivation method. 83

Zanpakuto and Soul Power

Xiao Yang wields Zangetsu, later Tensa Zangetsu, and develops a separate combat system based on Reiatsu and soul power. 13 21

• Devouring an eighth-tier alchemist's remnant soul elevated his soul power to captain-class, allowing him to use Bankai. 21
• Tensa Zangetsu developed yin and yang forms after absorbing the Yin-Yang Dual Flame, allowing healing and stronger attacks. 27
• His true Bankai, Heavenly Demon Moon Slayer, was awakened during his confrontation with the Gu Clan's Four Great Commanders. 138
• Crescent Sky Impact gained a spatial attribute, allowing it to bypass physical defenses and deal true damage. 49

Ocular and Movement Techniques

• Heavenly Demon Blood Eyes — Grant X-ray-like perception, allowing Xiao Yang to inspect Treasure Pavilion energy clusters and identify their contents. 30
• Double Pupils — Evolved from his blood eyes after inheriting Double Bright Bird bloodline power, greatly improving his perception. 54
• Flash Step — A God of Death signature movement skill used for rapid evasion and repositioning. 11 16
• Light Domain — Suppresses and weakens hostile targets within a hundred-meter radius; opponents at Dou Wang level or above can resist its effects. 18

Alchemy and Puppet Refinement

Xiao Yang is a Fourth-Grade Alchemist by the time he returns to Jia Nan Academy and later reaches Eighth-Grade Alchemist status. 39 165

• He won the Alchemist Guild competition by identifying the incompatible Thick Earth Mushroom in the Wind Riding Pill formula. 125
• He refined the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, Bone Growing Blood Fusion Pill, and numerous advancement pills. 136 153
• He obtained the Heaven Demon Puppet Technique and refined Guardian Cang into a Heaven Demon Puppet, later tempering it from earth grade to heaven grade. 152 153
• He uses defeated experts' bodies and souls as materials for additional Heaven Demon Puppets. 158 165

Equipment / Weapons / Items
