Background / History

Li Ze entered the Outer Domain Battlefield early, believing that life-and-death tempering was necessary to become a true powerhouse. There, he refined demon-beast corpses to improve his genes and fought continuously to advance his Origin Law comprehension and secret techniques 26 27 78.

After participating in the Sacred Mountain Battle, he became the sole disciple of King Yuchi. King Yuchi brought him to Miaohe Mountain, where Li Ze met his grandmaster, Mountain Lord Yangu, a Seven-Star Cosmic Overlord and master craftsman. Yangu promised to forge him a suitable treasure after he completed his studies 47 52 53.

At Miaohe Mountain, Li Ze studied the inheritances of Venerable Guiyi and Mountain Lord Yangu, strengthened his body through the secret technique Control, and received extensive cultivation resources. He also openly informed Yangu that he was nurturing a Feng Ze clone in order to cultivate the Space-Time and Fire paths simultaneously 73 74.

Li Ze later discovered Huang's ancient Inheritance Space and accepted the Spirit Merging Method, which enables the integration of an Inner World or Divine Kingdom into the body. This became a defining foundation of his later Inner Universe path 93 96 261.

Appearance

Li Ze is a human man with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. He is described as possessing a noble bearing and a warm smile when appearing in a silver-white starry robe 385.

• His body later reaches immense sizes through gene and divine-body cultivation, including one million kilometers at 30,000× genes and 100 million kilometers at 60,000× genes 410 436.
• His physical aura becomes capable of distorting spacetime after advancing through the Source Battle Body and later fleshly transformations 686 1143.
• At Origin-level physical strength, merely clenching his fist can create countless spacetime rifts 1030.

Personality

Li Ze is ambitious, cautious, and unusually direct with trusted mentors. He chooses difficult cultivation paths and repeatedly seeks life-and-death battles to sharpen himself rather than pursuing safety or comfort 73 78.

He remains respectful toward teachers, seniors, and allies, but is also calculating when facing powerful figures. When Mountain Lord sought to recruit him as a fourth disciple, Li Ze deliberately raised practical objections and referenced Luo Feng's generous treatment to negotiate for greater benefits 292 293.

In battle, Li Ze is relentless and adaptive. He often treats overwhelming opponents as opportunities to refine his techniques, but he can retreat strategically when continued combat would destabilize his Inner Universe or place him at a disadvantage 340 1053 1296.
