Background / History
During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, Luohu was one of the hidden instigators behind the conflict of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races. He gathered the slaughterous intent from their war to forge the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. 33
In the War of Dao and Demon, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Old Ancestor Yangmei, Old Ancestor Yin-Yang, and Daoist Qiankun cornered Luohu in the Western World. Luohu detonated the Western leylines with a Heavenly Dao treasure, killing Old Ancestor Yin-Yang and Daoist Qiankun, but Hongjun's Three Corpses Incarnations ultimately defeated him. 1
Rather than being killed, Luohu was recruited by the Heavenly Dao and transformed into an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon. The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation fell to Hongjun, while the God-Slaying Spear and Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus disappeared. 1
After his exile, Luohu sought an alliance with the wounded Old Ancestor Yangmei to oppose Hongjun and recreate Chaos. Yangmei refused, advising him that Hongjun could only be defeated by beginning from within the Primordial World. 33
Appearance
Luohu is a severe, imposing figure whose presence is marked by demonic fire, overwhelming demonic energy, and symbols of the Demonic Path. 33 233
- Wears a black Daoist robe, at times patterned with Demonic Path divine marks. 33 336
- Has white or silver hair, with Nine Nether Demonic Fire dancing through it. 33 233

- Often manifests with the Heaven Suppressing Coffin beneath his feet or at his command. 197 574
- His demonic energy can form a world-destroying river and invert Yin and Yang. 424 538
Personality
Luohu is calculating, contemptuous, and intensely ambitious. He repeatedly seeks to overturn established powers—first Dao Ancestor Hongjun, later the Transcendent Immortal—and regards the Heavenly Dao position as his rightful prize. 48 574
He is willing to use catastrophic methods for power, including detonating the Western leylines, plotting to destroy the Myriad Worlds, and ordering the harvesting of living beings' Divine Souls and True Spirits for Demonic Sect treasures. 1 751
Despite his cruelty, Luohu is emotionally attached to select subordinates. Demon Lord Chonglou's death drove him from grief into rage and made vengeance against Skeleton God Monarch his overriding goal. 670
His pride frequently leaves him vulnerable to manipulation. East King Duke incited his greed for the World-Destroying Millstone, while Shichen used Luohu's ambition to hand him leadership of the Chaos Demon Gods. 579 754

Story Role / Major Arcs
Return of the Demonic Sect
Luohu returned to the Primordial World as the Demonic Sect re-emerged around Mount Sumeru. His remaining origin had previously produced Demon Lord Jidu, whose fall compelled Luohu to directly intervene against East King Duke and Hongjun. 48 231
He attempted to recruit Eastern Emperor Taiyi through the latter's hatred and injuries, while also revealing possession of Dark Chaos Demon God remains connected to Taiyi. 197 233
Struggle for Mount Sumeru and the Western Teachings
Luohu reclaimed Mount Sumeru and contested its ownership with the Western Teachings. East King Duke eventually exchanged Mount Sumeru for Zhen Yuanzi's control of the Demon Realm's Earthly Dao Origin. 232
When the Western Teachings sought aid for the severely injured Zhunti, Luohu demanded that the Western Teachings merge with the Demonic Sect as his price. 412
Conflict in the Myriad Worlds
Luohu sought to overthrow the Transcendent Immortal and seize the position of Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Worlds. His conflict escalated when he intervened to save Chonglou, then openly challenged the Transcendent Immortal with the Heaven Suppressing Coffin. 574 575
After refining the World-Destroying Millstone, Luohu ambushed the Transcendent Immortal, convinced that the Chaos Supreme Treasure would give him the advantage. 581
Vengeance for Demon Lord Chonglou
Chonglou's death at Skeleton God Monarch's hands devastated Luohu. Upon achieving the Half-step Hunyuan Great Dao, Luohu swore to kill Skeleton God Monarch, but Supreme Being Shanggu persuaded him to seek allies instead of attacking recklessly. 670 671
Luohu and Shanggu approached Dao Ancestor Hongjun for assistance, offering Skeleton God Monarch's Origin, Dao order, and Guixu Divine Sword as payment for revenge. 672
Destruction of the Myriad Worlds
Driven by resentment and jealousy, Luohu ordered the Demonic Sect to slaughter all beings in the Myriad Worlds. Their Divine Souls, True Spirits, and blood were to be refined into treasures such as the Soul Refining Banner, Immortal-Slaying Sword, and Blood Path Slaughter Disk. 751
After the Myriad Worlds were emptied of life, Luohu prepared to personally destroy the world. The resulting calamity enabled his breakthrough to the Primordial Great Dao Realm. 753 754
Loss of the Millstone and Death
Dao Ancestor Hongjun revealed that the World-Destroying Millstone had never truly belonged to Luohu; it was part of East King Duke's plan to initiate the End-of-Dharma Calamity. Hongjun removed Luohu's mark and reclaimed the treasure, leaving Luohu without its support. 755
Luohu later fought Old Master Taiqing and his avatars. Overwhelmed by Taiqing's Pangu True Body, Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, and Great Dao of Alchemy, he was refined into a Nine Revolutions Hunyuan Golden Core containing his Origin, True Spirit, Primordial Spirit energy, and World-Destroying Demonic Path. 769
