Background / History
Luohu manipulated the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans into fighting for supremacy in order to harvest the Sha Qi and Calamity Qi of their war. He used these forces to refine the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and prepare for his eventual struggle against Hongjun over the position of Dao Integrator of the Heavenly Dao. 2
Luohu led the Demon Cult during the Immortal-Demon Conflict and prepared to fight Hongjun with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the God-Slaying Spear, and a large demonic force. His plans once included detonating the Western Continent’s earth veins, but Beginning Qilin’s intervention ruined that contingency. 30
After the Heavenly Dao merged with the Demonic Path, Luohu could again manifest a physical body in the Demon Realm. The Heavenly Dao released him to manage demonic affairs and sow discord among the Hunyuan Celestial Venerables, though it retained control over both Luohu and the Demonic Path. 371
Luohu secretly replaced himself with Jidu under the Heavenly Dao’s watch, then hid beneath Little Western Heaven and drained its earth veins of Innate Spiritual Qi. His concealment failed when a trace of his aura leaked while he investigated heavenly secrets. Heavenly Punishment pursued and seemingly annihilated him, but he escaped into Chaos by abandoning his body and transforming from a severed foot. 427 476 478
In Chaos, Luohu returned to the cultivation path of the Chaos Demon Gods, rebuilding himself through preserved flesh and blood, devoured worlds, hidden secret realms, and remnants of his old power. His ultimate objective remained the Great Desolation World and Pangu’s Dao Fruit of Opening Heaven. 590 612 753
After repeatedly recovering from defeats by Taishi Daoist and Daoist Taichu, Luohu found a second secret realm and a Pill Dao world, allowing him to return to the eighth layer of the Zenith Heaven Primordial Golden Immortal realm. He then led his demon puppet army to assault the Great Desolation World’s Heaven-and-Earth Four Poles Grand Formation. 709 753 764 765
Luohu temporarily accepted the Heavenly Dao’s proposed alliance against Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, while intending to exploit the Heavenly Dao before betraying it himself. During the ensuing Chaos conflict, he fought Ancestor Reincarnation and received direct Heavenly Dao Origin-force support. Although the Heavenly Dao was later sealed away, Luohu survived through another contingency hidden in a Universe World. 767 784 790 800
Personality
Luohu is ambitious, vindictive, and intensely prideful. He consistently regards the Great Desolation, the Heavenly Dao, Sanqing, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches as obstacles to be overcome rather than equals to be respected. His pursuit of revenge persists through repeated annihilations, losses of cultivation, and betrayals. 478 678 764
He is manipulative when advantageous, offering Jidu authority over Demon Tribulation and attempting to pressure Chaos and five other Hunyuan Celestial Venerables through old promises. When his persuasion fails, he readily considers killing them to erase his debt. 372
His experiences also make him cautious. After escaping the Heavenly Dao, he avoids exposing himself, declines to contest the Heart of Life while weak, and probes the Shichen Realm with slaves for several hundred Eons before acting. Nevertheless, success with powerful treasures repeatedly causes him to become overconfident and underestimate his enemies. 427 614 702
Luohu treats alliances as expedient tools rather than genuine commitments. Although he agreed to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao during his attack on the Great Desolation, he privately intended to use its power and turn against it once Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches had been weakened. 767

- Refined and devoured Great Thousand Worlds, converting their living beings and World Power into Origin power. 710
- Received cultivation feedback from the Demonic Path’s activity in the Earth Immortal Realm. 722 753
- Uses Demonic Path laws as a protective layer against Chaos Qi. 764

- Used his fused Demonic Path and Pill Dao to contend directly with Ancestor Reincarnation’s Six Paths of Reincarnation. 784
Chaos Demon God Physiology
Having resumed the old path of a Chaos Demon God, Luohu can increase his cultivation through Chaos Qi and Chaos-origin resources rather than relying solely on law comprehension. 590
- Survived the Heavenly Dao’s apparent annihilation through a secret technique and a surviving severed foot. 478
- Restored himself by merging with fragments of his own Chaos Demon God flesh and blood. 590 679
- His return to the Chaos Demon God path limits his maximum cultivation to the peak he possessed when Pangu cleaved him apart. 654
- Reconstructed himself after Little Nannan destroyed his body and demonic soul by preserving Essence Blood and other resurrection contingencies. 709 800
Time Long River Manipulation
While controlling the Time Long River through the Shichen Sundial, Luohu could observe future timelines, conceal his circumstances, and interfere with tributary timelines. 649 650
- Sent his World-Ending Demon Body backward through a tributary to refine two Darkness Progenitors before their capture. 657
- Altered timelines of tributaries in a Universe World to prepare an ambush against Sanqing’s incarnations. 660
- Cannot truly command the Great Dao of Time; the river and sundial were external tools rather than powers he had mastered. 649
- Repeated temporal interference drew severe backlash and risked provoking Pangu. 657 658 705
- Lost the Shichen Sundial, Time Long River, and Shichen Realm when Old Ancestor Shichen reclaimed them after Luohu’s defeat. 707

Demon Puppet Command
Luohu stores and commands an army of demonic puppets accumulated from his hidden secret realms. 753 764
- The first secret realm contained a million demon puppets and Essence Blood that restored much of his strength. 723
- The second secret realm contained numerous puppets stronger than those from the first.
- Several puppets possess combat power at the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal level. 753
- By his eighth-layer breakthrough, several puppets at the Zenith Heaven Primordial Golden Immortal level served at the army’s front. 764
- He deployed the army to attack the Heaven-and-Earth Four Poles Grand Formation surrounding the Great Desolation World, but the army was ultimately destroyed. 765 775
Demonic Enslavement
Luohu can forcibly enslave beings through Demonic Path Thousand Fathoms and implant Demonic Path control methods within their Primordial Spirits.
- Enslaved two Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Origin from a Universe World and made them principal souls within the Myriad Souls Banner form of Demonic Path Thousand Fathoms. 590
- Subjugated Shichen Realm cultivators and initially considered refining weaker demon slaves into resources. 616
- Planted the Demonic Path technique Demon Heart Crossing in Shi Chu and Shi Zhou to control them after their apparent surrender. 618

- Demonic sword — A powerful sword wielded during the assault on the Great Desolation World’s protective formation. 765
Relationships
- Hongjun — Ancient enemy and rival; Luohu prepared the Demon Cult and Immortal Slaying Sword Formation for their conflict. Hongjun later pursued Luohu’s main body for the Time Long River. 30 662
- Jidu — Great Elder and former subordinate. Luohu offered him authority over Demon Tribulation, but also used him in a “replacing a peach with a plum” deception and ordered the deaths of other demon leaders. 30 372 476
- Heavenly Dao — Temporary controller and employer after merging with the Demonic Path; later exposed and attempted to annihilate Luohu with Heavenly Punishment. Luohu subsequently formed a temporary alliance with it against Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches and received its Origin-force empowerment. 371 476 478 767 790

Return through the Demonic Path

Time interference and defeat
Luohu uses the Time Long River to alter events in a Universe World and target Sanqing’s incarnations.

- Luohu used the war among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans as a source of Sha Qi and Calamity Qi for refining the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. 2
