Background
Bai is regarded as the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom’s “God of War” among its younger Martial Practitioners. Before confronting Yi Yun, his reputation and the uncertainty surrounding his true strength make the other competitors reluctant to challenge Yi Yun themselves. Bai ultimately steps onto the Divine Desolation Stage as Yi Yun’s final major opponent in the Alliance Tournament 346 347.
Unlike fighters satisfied with local supremacy, Bai seeks opponents strong enough to expose his own limits. He sees defeat by a genuine prodigy as preferable to remaining unaware of the wider martial world 347.
Appearance
Bai is a black-clothed youth who wields the Black Light Sword. In his peak state, he absorbs a lightning beast into his body; his upper garments shatter, revealing a muscular build and lightning-like markings across his chest, neck, face, and back 346 350.
- Wears black clothing during his initial battle with Yi Yun 346.
- Carries the Black Light Sword 347.
- His transformed body bears black lightning and tiger-stripe-like tattoos 350.
- A phantom lightning beast appears on his chest, while the Six-headed Lightning Serpent manifests behind him 350.
Personality
Bai is direct, composed, and intensely battle-driven. He grants Yi Yun an hour to recover his stamina rather than seeking an easy victory, then openly acknowledges Yi Yun as an opponent capable of forcing him to use his full strength 347 349.
His ambition is rooted in self-improvement rather than fear of being surpassed. He considers a powerful rival a necessary goal, believing that a Martial Practitioner without an understanding of stronger opponents can become limited in perspective 347.
Abilities & Skills
Law of Lightning
Bai cultivates the Law of Lightning to an exceptional level, using it for overwhelming speed, offensive power, and battlefield control 347 348.
- Generates numerous lightning afterimages that make his true position difficult to identify 347.
- Moves fast enough that Yi Yun’s Subtle Movement technique cannot fully evade his attacks 347.
- Maintains extreme speed while speaking calmly, indicating that it does not heavily tax him 347.
- His lightning can turn purplish-black or pure black when condensed to greater power 349 350.
Rapid Movement
Bai’s Rapid Movement fills the arena with moving afterimages and electric traces, allowing him to attack from unpredictable angles 347.
- His speed surpasses Yi Yun’s at the time of their battle 347.
- Yi Yun must rely on the Purple Crystal’s Energy Vision rather than ordinary sight to track him accurately 348.
- Bai considers speed only one part of his Lightning Law rather than his entire fighting style 347.
Lightning Force Field
When speed alone cannot decide the battle, Bai channels lightning into the arena floor and forms a Lightning Force Field around himself 348.
- Creates a lightning barrier that protects his body 350.
- Allows him to unleash his strength to its limit within the field 349.
- Conducts lightning through the battlefield to pressure and attack Yi Yun 348.
- Is ultimately cleaved apart by Yi Yun’s Golden Crow-empowered sword strike 350.

- Its passage melts the Purple Tungsten Steel floor into molten iron 349.

Six-headed Lightning Serpent Dharma Aspect Totem

- Bai first merges a lightning beast into his own body, intensifying his aura and lightning power 350.
- The Six-headed Lightning Serpent manifests as a black, six-headed serpent approximately seven to eight zhang long 350.
- Its release is powerful enough to affect the weather, producing thunder and rainfall around the arena 350.
- The totem is associated with a Six-headed Lightning Serpent Savage Beast, implying Bai personally killed such a beast to condense it 350.
- Despite this peak state, it is defeated by Yi Yun’s three-legged Golden Crow Dharma Aspect Totem 350.

Story Role / Major Arcs
Alliance Tournament
Bai enters the Alliance Tournament after the other Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom competitors hesitate to face Yi Yun. His appearance silences the arena, as both sides recognize that Yi Yun is about to face the black-clothed youth whose abilities remain largely unknown 346.
Bai grants Yi Yun one hour to restore his stamina, then opens the battle with overwhelming speed from the Law of Lightning. Yi Yun initially struggles to evade his sword strikes and must use Energy Vision to follow Bai’s movements 347 348.
After Yi Yun withstands his speed-based attacks, Bai establishes the Lightning Force Field and attacks directly with Thunder Kill. He then reveals his peak state by absorbing a lightning beast and summoning the Six-headed Lightning Serpent Dharma Aspect Totem 348 349 350.
Yi Yun responds with his three-legged Golden Crow Dharma Aspect Totem, shatters Bai’s Lightning Force Field, and inflicts devastating injuries. The Lord of Seven Stars Tower rescues Bai before the remaining Pure Yang sword qi can kill him 350.
Tai'a Divine City Crisis
During the Shepherd Boy crisis, Bai is included among the elite younger generation whom Tai'a Divine City’s elders prepare to evacuate if the city cannot be saved. Bai remains silent, recognizing that participating in the defense would be a futile sacrifice 361.
