Background / History

Dark Extinction obtained ancient texts from a lost civilization before his expedition with Xu Qing. Among them was a work describing the relationship between heaven, earth, mountains, waterways, and the Great Dao; he researched its principles as Feng Shui and found them practical. 430

He entered the ship-based Secret Realm alongside Xu Qing and a group led by Crimson Tiger. His sensitivity to Yin energy and death immediately made him wary of the vessel, where sealed cabins and a deeper passage concealed a major danger. 430

During the expedition, Dark Extinction proved unusually perceptive regarding infiltration methods. He connected Nian Yu's possession technique to a legendary Demon Race royal bloodline capable of replacing Human Race geniuses and entering human leadership unnoticed. 438 439 He also helped Xu Qing investigate the two identical Crimson Tigers, concluding that the unconscious one confined inside a wooden barrel was likely the genuine individual. 441

His identity as an Inspector of the Martial God Hall became known after Xu Qing intervened to save him from Crape Myrtle Empire Saint Kings. Dark Extinction then agreed to assist Xu Qing's mission on Emperor Star. 500

At a later point, he stated that a failed mission had resulted in his exile, though he did not disclose further details. 531

Appearance

Dark Extinction is a gray-haired young man with a notably small, miniature-like appearance. His clothing, sword, ship, and combat effects consistently follow a gray color scheme. 434 453

• Gray hair, often described as disheveled during combat or pursuit. 434 500
• Miniature build; Xu Qing compares his appearance to a human figurine. 434
• Usually carries a gray longsword. 446
• Travels aboard a gray spaceship with gray interior decorations. 453

Personality

Dark Extinction generally presents an aloof, expressionless demeanor and is not easily drawn into Xu Qing's jokes. 434 453 Beneath this reserve, he is cautious, observant, and willing to voice suspicions that others overlook, particularly when facing possession, traps, or unknown formations. 430 438 446

He values cooperation despite his solitary habits. He accepts Xu Qing's aid, shares intelligence, supports allied operations, and chooses to reunite with Xu Qing rather than search alone after finding signs that teammate Jin Zhan had likely met with misfortune. 451 453 Lie Feng King notes that Dark Extinction is reclusive but cherishes trusted friends. 533

Abilities & Skills

Yin and Death-Energy Perception

Dark Extinction is highly sensitive to Yin-attributed energy, deathly auras, and related abnormalities.

• Detected the ship's unusually strong Yin energy and smell of death before the group uncovered its deeper dangers. 430
• Used his observations to warn Xu Qing against descending recklessly into the ship. 430
• Recognized similarities between Nian Yu's possession method and the infiltration techniques of a Demon Race royal bloodline. 438 439

Gray Death Energy

He can release gray energy carrying death erosion and life-devouring properties.

• His gray light froze the Golden Ringed Bees and turned them into stone-like fragments. 446
• The technique was poorly suited to the bees because they were formation constructs rather than living beings with life energy. 446
• He can release dark energy over a battlefield to suppress multiple opponents alongside Xu Qing and Lie Feng King. 533

Swordsmanship

Dark Extinction fights with a gray longsword and can produce large numbers of sword shadows.

• Launched hundreds of strikes against each Golden Ringed Bee nearly simultaneously. 446
• Compressed the swarm into a gray sphere using converging sword shadows, though the formation-bees ultimately escaped. 446
• Acquired weapon-path leaves from the Immortal Abode; one sword-shaped leaf contained Sword Dao understanding that could improve his sword path. 448

Covert Mobility and Survival

Dark Extinction specializes in evasive movement, ambushes, and rapid repositioning.

• His movement technique allowed him to evade attacks from pursuing Saint King experts despite spatial confinement. 500
• Can vanish and reappear behind targets during combat. 501
• Survived multiple bodily disintegrations while fleeing, though repeated destruction risked sending his consciousness into slumber. 500
• Can open a spatial passage to enter his divine kingdom and recover before returning to battle. 500

Covert Interdiction

Dark Extinction is effective at observing chaotic engagements, identifying hidden factions, and striking at decisive moments.

• Identified four separate forces during the ambush on the Interstellar Individual Warp Suit transport team. 501
• Used gray sword energy and a hook-like gray attack to halt black-clothed Human Race Eternal Life experts pursuing the suit. 501
• Repeatedly ambushed the attackers, forcing their escape and allowing the transport operation to continue. 501

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Gray longsword — His primary weapon; used to generate dense gray sword shadows. 446
• Restriction Breaking Disk — Given to him by Xu Qing in Yuan You True Immortal's abode; powered with Immortal Jade to expose and open a passage through defensive restrictions. 451
• Dragon Tongue — An ancient bow acquired from Yuan You True Immortal's abode. Dark Extinction could not use it because his Immortal Qi was incomplete. 451
• Weapon-path leaves — Retained nineteen leaves from the ancient trees, including a sword-shaped leaf containing Sword Dao understanding. 448
• Gray spaceship — His personal vessel, decorated entirely in gray. 453

Relationships

• Xu Qing / “Mystic Phantom” — Trusted ally and frequent expedition partner. They explore the ship Secret Realm and Immortal Abode together, divide treasures, and later cooperate in Crape Myrtle Empire operations. 430 448 500 503
• Crimson Tiger — Fellow Secret Realm explorer whom Dark Extinction suspects of concealing knowledge of the Heavenly Palace and Nian Yu's identity. 438 446
• Third Prince of the Crape Myrtle Empire — Political ally who helped secure Dark Extinction's release from the Saint Kings and publicly commended him for returning the Interstellar Individual Warp Suit. 500 502
• Lie Feng King — Battlefield ally. Dark Extinction joins Xu Qing in rescuing him from Human Race Saint Kings. 533
• Jin Zhan — Teammate whose armor and traces of battle led Dark Extinction to suspect that he had met with misfortune. 451
• Gu Yu — Guide through Yuan You True Immortal's abode; his directions enabled Dark Extinction and Xu Qing to navigate its restrictions. 451

Story Role / Major Arcs

Ship Secret Realm and Nian Yu Investigation

Dark Extinction accompanies Xu Qing through the mysterious ship, warns him about its Yin and death energy, and helps investigate sealed cabins, the sea beneath the vessel, and the imprisoned Crimson Tiger. 430 441 He becomes one of the first group members to openly question Nian Yu's identity and possession techniques. 438 439

Immortal Abode Exploration

He and Xu Qing jointly explore the Heavenly Palace and its mirror-like Yin Realm. Dark Extinction tests the ancient tree's Golden Ringed Bee formation, assists in gathering weapon-path leaves and golden lotuses, and uses the Restriction Breaking Disk to bypass Yuan You True Immortal's defensive array. 446 448 451

Crape Myrtle Empire Suit Ambush

After seeking Xu Qing's help while pursued by Crape Myrtle Empire Saint Kings, Dark Extinction joins the defense of the Interstellar Individual Warp Suit. 500 He ambushes black-clothed Eternal Life experts during the transport attack, helps secure the suit, and receives public recognition from the Third Prince. 501 502

Blood Soul Army and Border Battles

Following his exile, Dark Extinction reunites with Xu Qing among the Blood Soul Army. 531 He later fights beside Xu Qing and Lie Feng King against Human Race Saint Kings and Demon Race powerhouses, using his dark energy to support their joint assault. 533
