Appearance

Lu Chuan is a young man who commonly wears black robes. He is described as having sword-like brows, starry eyes, and a gentle smile that contrasts sharply with the killing intent in his gaze 713.

• Black-robed attire during his assault on the Chu Family’s core members 713
• Calm, approachable expression even when preparing to kill 713
• Strong Sha Qi after wilderness hunts, causing civilians at Fengle City’s gates to instinctively make way for him 11

Personality

Lu Chuan is disciplined, resourceful, and intensely self-reliant. After awakening Heaven Rewards Diligence, he devotes himself to training and treats cultivation as the means to escape poverty, protect his family, and control his own fate 1 5 13.

He is cautious when facing unknown opponents or political forces. He studies enemies before acting, refuses suspicious invitations, avoids unnecessary alliances, and does not mistake confidence for invulnerability 20 584 714. His independence persists even when powerful organizations offer him advantageous terms; he refuses recruitment by Myriad Treasures Tower and declines to submit to Thunder Martial Hall’s demands 518 528.

Lu Chuan is ruthless toward enemies who threaten him or his family. He eliminates ambushers, pursues hostile factions, and ultimately wages a sustained campaign against the Chu Family after repeated attempts on his life 24 713 804 819. However, he is not indiscriminately hostile: he respects people of integrity such as Liang Yunshan, remains grateful to Shi Qingning for protecting his family, and does not blame Baili Changkong for failing to save him from Dragon Burial Valley 480 457 817.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Fengle City and Early Cultivation

Lu Chuan begins as a young man from Fengle City’s Outer City with mediocre martial talent. Killing a Green Wolf unlocks Heaven Rewards Diligence, restoring his hope in martial cultivation and allowing him to advance through relentless practice 1.

He rapidly rises through the Skin Refining Realm, hunts fierce beasts for resources, pays off his father’s debt, and purchases the Savage Elephant Skin Refining Method, weapons, and Qi and Blood Potions from Wanchun Hall 11 13. His early goal is to become strong enough to move Liang Ya and Lu Wangshu out of the Outer City 13.

Demon Suppressing Division

After entering the wider martial world, Lu Chuan builds a reputation as an overwhelmingly dangerous young combatant. He confronts criminal factions, exterminates Spirit Snake Cult strongholds, and develops enough confidence to contend with Fourth-Rank Aperture Opening Realm cultivators 174 201.

His authority increases after he intervenes in Tongyuan Group’s conflict with the Yu Family. He cripples Yu Chuyuan and a Martial Grandmaster, orders an investigation into shareholder collusion, and later kills Yu Canghai 270 279.

Heaven’s Gate Pass and the Beimang Star Realm

Lu Chuan accepts an S-Class mission to pacify the Beimang Star Realm, viewing its resources and the opportunity to join Xuanhuang Hall as worth the risk 436. His exploits in the Beimang Star Realm become widely known after he independently sweeps the Blood Race, Abyssal Demon Race, and North Mang Beast Race bases 522.

He refuses pressure from Thunder Martial Hall to become a tool in its internal power struggle. When representatives threaten to kill him for refusing, he enslaves their leader with the Life and Death Talisman Seal, kills the remaining witnesses, and enters seclusion at Beidou Palace 528.

Return to Earth Star

Lu Chuan returns to Earth Star after learning that powerful families had targeted him and his family. He kills Wang Pengzhan, destroys the Zheng, Yan, and Zhou families, and distributes cultivation resources to Liang Ya and Lu Wangshu 451 455.

Before departing Earth Star again, he reunites with Liang Chengfeng, Gu Fan, Luo Lingshan, and the Jiangcheng Trio. He also entrusts Shi Qingning with resources in recognition of her protection of his family 457.

Xuanhuang Hall and the Chu Family Conflict

Lu Chuan enters Xuanhuang Hall as an S-Class True Disciple, prompting every major institute to compete for his allegiance. He ultimately remains in Wuji Institute despite superior offers from rival institutes 638 671.

His conflict with the Chu Family escalates from attempted plots and ambushes into open war. Lu Chuan hunts their core members across multiple planets, exposes their connections to the Worship God Cult and Foreign Races, and targets their highest-ranking figures 713 714 716.

He kills the Chu Family Old Ancestor in Dragon Burial Valley, eliminates surviving core members, later slays Chu Tiangang, and helps seize the Chu Family treasury. Chu Mingkong and Su Yilin are eventually killed after refusing to reveal the location of Chu Guanyu 804 819 829.

Human Race Wars

Lu Chuan becomes a decisive force in wars against Foreign Races and Evil God-aligned factions. He assists in retaking Cangshan Star, kills King-class Foreign Race squads alone, and defeats Xuan Ranking experts Tu Yuan and Shi Quan 689 762 632.

After stepping into the Divine Realm, he demonstrates godslaying power by killing Emperor Qishan and executing Emperor Qingniu despite the latter’s Exotic Treasure protection 856. His reputation spreads among both the Human Race and the Hundred Clans, with many Foreign Race cultivators retreating simply upon hearing his name 859 978.
