Appearance

Sima Xian is a bald, heavily built Priest standing over two meters tall. His immense physique, armor, and oversized weapon routinely cause others to mistake him for a Warrior or Knight rather than a member of the Priest Temple. 493 701

• Gleaming bald head and a resolute, rugged face. 377 493
• Dense musculature; his Priest robes are stretched taut across his body. 701
• Commonly wears armor in battle, including the Crimson Dragon Armor. 637
• Wields the enormous chained metal weapon known as the Light Great Strength Pill. 282

Personality

Sima Xian is aggressive, competitive, and openly enamored with direct combat. He rejects the conventional support role expected of a Priest, relying on physical force and explosive offense instead. His instinct is to meet stronger opponents head-on—even allowing a dangerous enemy to complete a summon simply because he wanted a worthy fight. 114 702

Despite his rough manner and crude humor, he is observant and tactically capable. He conserves Internal Spiritual Power when physical strength will suffice, uses footwork and weapon placement against stronger enemies, and will retreat rather than needlessly die when an opponent is beyond him. 493 494

He is also emotionally sensitive and intensely loyal. The prospect of separation from his companions brings him to tears, while Long Haochen's death drives him to risk his life so the team can continue toward their captain's resurrection. 479 662 664

Abilities & Skills

Discipline Priest Combat

Sima Xian follows the nearly forgotten path of the Discipline Priest, a combat-focused Priest specialization revived by the Priest Temple through his example. 167 493

• Uses authentic Priest Holy Light, despite frequently being mistaken for another profession. 314
• Employs Holy Light Shockwave to disrupt approaching enemies and Holy Light Hammer as a ranged holy attack. 124
• Learned the Knight-created technique Ripple of Light almost as quickly as Han Yu, demonstrating unusual aptitude for offensive skills. 261
• Can use Judgment, but could not learn the Skeleton Knight skill Asura Thorn because of profession incompatibility. 306
• Does not serve as the squad's healer; Han Yu took responsibility for providing healing support. 167

Berserk

Sima Xian can enter a Berserk state that enlarges his body and drastically raises his attack frequency, physical strength, and combat aura. 75 124

• Allows his Fourth Tier strength to contend with Fifth Tier opponents. 124
• Combines with Light-element amplification to produce crimson-gold Spiritual Power. 494
• Is dangerous when used alongside a Conjoined Spirit Amplifying Pill: the influx of Internal Spiritual Power may cause his body to collapse after Berserk ends. 662

Light Great Strength Pill Techniques

The Light Great Strength Pill is both Sima Xian's primary weapon and the basis for much of his combat style. Its immense weight magnifies his strikes but can hinder his movement. 283 285

• Initially possessed Shatter, a crushing strike powered by a Seventh Order Light-element Demon Crystal. 282
• Its later Epic-grade form can unleash Shatter, Crush, and Triple Blast together. 662
• Sima Xian developed Purple Illusion Divine Thunder Cannon, Purple Thunder Wild Current, and Purple Thunder Condensation after improving the weapon. 637
• Uses the weapon's chain for unconventional attacks, including pulling himself into close quarters against the Abomination Monarch. 790
• Requires recovery time after full-power swings. 283

Purple Illusion Divine Thunder Spirit Furnace

Sima Xian's synthesized Spirit Furnace evolved from the Purple Thunder Spirit Furnace, which grants lightning energy to all of his attacks as long as his body can endure its power. 329 360

• Its full name is Purple Illusion Divine Thunder Spirit Furnace. 360
• Can release a lightning-charged cannon blast that temporarily paralyzes an opponent's soul fire. 662
• Its initial fusion was so violent that purple lightning nearly roasted him and made all his body hair stand on end. 344
• Its backlash was initially a concern, but later advancement greatly reduced his fear of activating it. 631

Sacrifice

Though originally a Knight skill, Sima Xian learned Sacrifice as a Discipline Priest after asking Long Haochen to teach him. 662

• Channels his life force through the Light Great Strength Pill to further raise its destructive power. 662
• Used it while Berserk and under Conjoined Spirit Amplification to defeat an Earth Warrior with a Domain. 662 664
• Left him critically injured and near death despite immediate healing and medicine. 664

Domain: Light Great Strength Pill

Sima Xian's Domain is named Light Great Strength Pill and manifests through his weapon. 880

• Enlarges his body and armor to a colossal scale; he was seen growing to approximately one hundred meters tall. 879 880
• Treats his body as part of the weapon-domain, allowing the enlarged Light Great Strength Pill to strike into him as part of their union rather than simply injure him. 880
• Used in a prearranged counterattack with Han Yu to kill Lightning Demon God Pahl. 879 880

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Light Great Strength Pill — Chained Glorious-grade weapon purchased for 16,000 merit points; later reforged into Epic equipment with mithril, other precious metals, a magical array, and six Level 10 lightning-element Demon Crystals. 282 637
• Crimson Dragon Armor — Epic armor acquired with Feng Ling'er's help; protected him while receiving the force of Conjoined Spirit Amplification and the Earth Warrior's attacks. 637 662
• Bloody Dagger — A piercing weapon made from the remaining horn of a Sawfish; used to finish the Bear Demon Lord after exhausting much of his strength. 495
• Domain-breaking Pill — One of two pills Long Haochen purchased for Lin Xin and Sima Xian before the Temple Grand Competition. 756

Relationships

• Long Haochen — Captain, fellow light-attribute combatant, and the person Sima Xian considers an older-brother figure. Sima Xian is also identified as Long Haochen's attendant and risks his life to help secure his resurrection. 285 662
• Feng Ling'er — Romantic partner, affectionately called his “Little White Flower.” Their letters during the Holy War confirm their mutual feelings, and she later supports him emotionally and finances the reforging of his weapon and acquisition of armor. 483 496 637
• Lin Xin — Close friend and frequent sparring partner. They constantly trade insults, but Lin Xin supplies Sima Xian with pills, supports him in battle, and treats his critical injuries. 115 493 664
• Han Yu — Trusted teammate who helps compensate for Sima Xian's lack of healing ability. Their coordinated defense and later counterattack against Pahl demonstrate strong battlefield understanding. 167 306 879
• Cai'er — Vice-captain and teammate. Her overwhelming defeat of Sima Xian taught him the danger of Assassin-style combat; he later shields her position during the Earth Warrior battle. 124 662
• Wang Yuanyuan — Fellow frontline fighter. Their complementary melee strength is used against Yak Demon patrols, and she is deeply concerned when Sima Xian is nearly killed in the Tower of Eternity. 425 664

Story Role / Major Arcs

Demon Hunter Selection Competition

Sima Xian enters the selection as the Priest Temple preliminaries' first-place contestant and establishes his reputation as a “violent” Priest through melee combat. He defeats Lin Xin after outlasting the Mage's defensive spells, then suffers a decisive loss to Cai'er that reveals the overwhelming threat posed by elite Assassins. 114 115 124

Development as a Discipline Priest

Gao Yingjie identifies Sima Xian's natural path as that of a Discipline Priest. Later, the Priest Temple formally trains him in secret and treats him as an experiment to determine how powerful a combat-specialized Priest can become. 167 493

Weapon and Spirit Furnace Growth

He purchases the Light Great Strength Pill, obtains the Purple Thunder Spirit Furnace, and endures its synthesis into the Purple Illusion Divine Thunder Spirit Furnace. These upgrades transform him from a powerful melee Priest into one of the squad's most destructive frontline attackers. 282 329 360

Zhennan Pass and the Holy War

After reaching the Seventh Order, Sima Xian fights on Zhennan Pass's walls, protecting a Fire Mage while slaughtering demons. He defeats a Bear Demon Lord through careful weapon placement, aerial maneuvering, and his Bloody Dagger, then protects the Mage from a Dik Race Infiltrator at the cost of a severe back wound. 493 494 495

Reunion with Dawn of Light

After nearly two years away training and fighting at Zhennan Pass, Han Yu retrieves Sima Xian so the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad can be reunited at full strength. 599 602

Tower of Eternity Sacrifice

Facing an Earth Warrior whose Domain threatens to overwhelm the team, Sima Xian takes the front position, activates Berserk and his Spirit Furnace under Conjoined Spirit Amplification, then uses Sacrifice to defeat the enemy. He survives only through sustained healing and Lin Xin's medicine. 662 664

Temple Grand Competition

Sima Xian publicly reveals his Ninth Tier power. He eliminates a Dark Summoner's Hellhounds in an instant, waits for the opponent to summon a Ninth Tier Hell Demon King, and tears the creature in half before the audience. 701 702

Battle Against Lightning Demon God Pahl

During the final conflict with the Demon Gods, Sima Xian is initially suppressed by Pahl's superior speed and offense. He and Han Yu execute a planned Domain-based counterattack, ultimately killing Pahl after Han Yu creates the opening. 872 879 880
