Background / History

Li Yuanba is described by the System as an evolution of the historical Li Xuanba and the reincarnation of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird. In unofficial legends, he was an unmatched Sui–Tang warrior whose twin hammers made him a one-man army; the System summons him after his Golden Peng bloodline awakens through lightning. 109

Before serving Qin Jun openly, Li Yuanba was an orphan who remembered Qin Jun giving him food when he had nowhere to go. He calls Qin Jun his benefactor and pledges allegiance after slaughtering the beast tide threatening a city. 112 113

In his former life, Li Yuanba was drawn into the Great War of Investiture of the Gods as the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird. His elder brother Kong Xuan was subdued while protecting him, prompting Li Yuanba to cultivate in seclusion in hopes of one day rescuing him. 346

Qin Jun later sends him into a Gods and Demons Dungeon. Li Yuanba spends decades there, returns with 122 adopted sons and daughters, and recounts his experiences to Qin Jun. His past-life memories and cultivation subsequently return in force. 345 587

Appearance

Li Yuanba is a small, gaunt youth whose frail appearance contrasts sharply with his destructive strength. He is commonly seen carrying a pair of hammer weapons larger than his own body. 111 1414

  • Sharp mouth and sunken cheeks. 111
  • Yellow hair tied at the center; later described with white hair after his later transformations. 111 1770
  • Dark-gold crown and armor forged from molten iron during his first appearance. 111
  • Often surrounded by strange white mist that keeps demonic beast blood from touching him. 111
  • His Immortal Law Innate form radiates golden divine light and an overwhelming ferocious aura. 1770

Personality

Li Yuanba is straightforward, simple-minded, and intensely loyal to Qin Jun. His devotion is described as fully maxed from the moment of his summoning, and he consistently places Qin Jun's safety above his own. 109 112 1222

He is also a battle fanatic who eagerly seeks stronger opponents and becomes more excited when pressed in combat. His pride is easily provoked—particularly when called a “brat” or treated as weak—and his anger can escalate into indiscriminate destruction. 122 211 222

Away from battle, he has a childlike and naive side. He asks blunt questions about unfamiliar subjects, becomes shy when Qin Jun praises him, and is easily pleased by approval from Qin Jun or Kong Xuan. 113 122 1087

Abilities & Skills

Overwhelming Physical Strength

Li Yuanba's principal combat style is direct physical force. He can wield gigantic hammers effortlessly, crush cultivators beyond his apparent realm, and destroy terrain with raw strength alone.

  • Each Golden Peng Divine Hammer is stated to weigh ten thousand pounds. 111
  • He shattered a falling mountain peak with his hammers without relying on spiritual energy. 153
  • His thrown hammer destroyed a small mountain across a river. 164
  • He cracked the World-Suppressing Divine Pagoda through brute force while fighting Supreme Invincible. 1414

Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird Bloodline

Li Yuanba's ancient Golden Peng bloodline gives him exceptional combat potential, mana concealment, and a powerful true form.

  • Peng Bird True Form — transforms him into a Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird; the transformation enabled him to defeat Earth Immortal Realm, Eighth Layer Zhou Liang in one move. 109 178
  • Golden Peng Hundred Transformations / Golden Peng Divine Transformation — his recorded cultivation techniques before and after the Primordial Chaos Tribulation. 109 1628
  • Heaven-Collapsing Earth-Splitting and Sky-Shading Sun-Blocking — listed divine abilities. 1215
  • His mana can be difficult to identify even for cultivators with much higher realms when he does not deliberately reveal it. 153

Yin-Yang Two Qi

Following Limit Awakening, Li Yuanba gains control of Yin-Yang Two Qi, which can amplify a compatible magic treasure.

  • Infusing the borrowed Universe Ruler with Yin-Yang Two Qi greatly increases its power. 1221
  • The empowered Universe Ruler shatters Nan Yexing's mana shield. 1221

Golden Peng Ferocity

Li Yuanba can enter a berserk state in dangerous battles, becoming more violent and increasing his combat power.

  • His special attribute states that danger makes berserk episodes highly likely and raises his combat power. 1628
  • In berserk states, he has overwhelmed opponents with relentless hammer assaults and frightening killing intent. 177 179
  • This lack of restraint can endanger allies or cause excessive collateral damage, requiring Qin Jun or stronger companions to pull him back. 179 222

Roar

Li Yuanba's voice itself can function as a destructive weapon.

  • A single roar blasted incoming arrows back, ruptured soldiers' eardrums, and killed some outright. 121

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Golden Peng Divine Hammers — Li Yuanba's signature twin hammers; each weighs ten thousand pounds. 109 111
  • Myriad Beasts Divine Hammer — twin hammer weapon used during the War of the Unrivaled. 1414
  • Demon Thunder Twin Hammers — his recorded treasure after the Primordial Chaos Tribulation. 1628
  • Universe Ruler — borrowed from Randeng during the battle against Nan Yexing and strengthened with Yin-Yang Two Qi. 1221
  • Ten Thousand Mile Cloud — listed as his mount at the time of his summoning. 109

Relationships

  • Qin Jun — benefactor, master, and Heavenly Emperor. Li Yuanba serves him with maximum loyalty and repeatedly defends him in battle. 109 112 1763
  • Kong Xuan — elder brother from Li Yuanba's Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird past life; Li Yuanba wishes to rescue him and eagerly seeks his approval. 346 1087
  • Wu Zetian — recognized as the reincarnation of the Phoenix Ancestor, Li Yuanba and Kong Xuan's mother. 1462
  • Sun Wukong — fellow Divine General and frequent rival. They clash due to mutual pride and Sun Wukong's teasing, but fight on the same side. 620 1777
  • Sha Wujing — powerful ally who intervenes to stop and calm Li Yuanba during a berserk episode. 179
  • Xia Shenwu — saves Li Yuanba from Supreme Invincible's finishing attack and considers taking him as a disciple. 1415 1417
  • Golden Peng Army — Li Yuanba's adopted sons and daughters; numbering more than a hundred, they regard Qin Jun with reverence due to Li Yuanba's teachings. 345 440
