Power Progression

Background and History

The original Black was the Black Family Head’s only legitimate son and the only heir entitled to the Black surname. His parents’ long conflict left him neglected; after his mother’s death, Ryan protected him and eventually died saving him. Black left the family manor intending to reclaim what he believed was his 565 566 597 599.

Black initially failed to awaken an ability and was dismissed by other young demons. He later awakened spatial teleportation, changing how his peers regarded him. His cousin Phelps’s death at Su Ye’s hands remained a painful memory 389 391.

Before the identity was taken over, Black regarded Su Ye as a mortal enemy responsible for the deaths of his younger sister Boer and his friend. When Su Qilu reported Boer’s death through a mirror, Black rejected his offer of revenge and declared that he would send someone himself. He later blamed Su Qilu for the failed Magic Capital operation and the deaths of Boer and Miles, but listened when Su Qilu proposed using the Yujing Su Family’s birthday gathering and something beneath its Ancestral Hall to enable a Blood Demon Lord clone to descend into the Human World 220 284 371.

His delayed awakening had contributed to his father’s rejection and his sister’s ostracism. After Ryan sacrificed himself to save him, Black fled to an uninhabited island, where grief, self-reproach, and hatred of Su Ye preceded his awakening. He perceived spatial fluctuations and successfully teleported, recognizing space as his true talent 389.

Su Ye subsequently created a Soul Clone using a piece of Black’s flesh. The clone acquired Black’s appearance and memories, and Su Ye began operating through it under Black’s name. Its cultivation could be improved independently of his main body 424 432.

The inherited memories were extensive and were not assimilated immediately. This occasionally left Su Ye slow to recognize people from the original Black’s life, including Fal. The original Black’s lack of close parental affection also made the impersonation easier, although his father eventually remarked on the drastic change in his demeanor 424 517 565 599.

Appearance

The newly formed clone briefly resembled Su Ye before taking on Black’s appearance 424.

• Hair and eyes: Black hair and red eyes are described when the clone first forms 424.
• Complexion and clothing: The original Black is described with a pale face and black clothing, giving him a handsome but sinister appearance 418.
• Public impression: His casual, sometimes disheveled presentation led Fal to mistake him for a low-ranking gatekeeper despite his Guard appointment 517.
• Attractiveness: Nicole Wilson was immediately captivated by his face, despite initially intervening to protect Augustus from him 566.

Abilities and Skills

Space Manipulation

Black’s spatial powers provide movement, attacks, and object transfer 391 432 511.

• Space Movement developed from Space Teleportation, extending his movement range from within ten meters to within a hundred meters 432.
• Space Cutting developed from Space Blade; Black can also create and dismiss Space Rifts, though doing so drains Magic Power 432 433.
• Space Altar transfers objects rather than people. Su Ye chose it to make transfers between his main body and clone possible 511.
• Space Movement and Space Cutting later advanced into the Space Leap and Space Storm Law Embryos 643.
• Black raised Space Altar from Entry Level to Transcendent by spending 150,000 Slaughter Value. The duration of its Spatial Teleportation Passage depends on his cultivation and mastery 514.
• His movement and spatial attacks allow him to evade encirclement and strike multiple opponents from unexpected directions, as demonstrated against the Sanders Family 568 569.
• Space Law later enabled him to weave through Beast Tides while targeting their strongest creatures. Even while critically injured, he could use it to bring Meng Xue’er, Gu Zhaoxi, Vanessa, and the Demon God Progeny out of Taixu Space 1303 1451.
• His spatial escape is not absolute: Night God blocked his Space Leap during their confrontation in the Blood Sea 1423.

Other Combat Abilities

• Shadow Flying Claw and Blood Burning Escape advanced from Divine Ability Seeds into Divine Abilities, then into the Sky Tearing Claw and Fleeting Light Shadow Law Embryos 433 875.
• Heavenly Sight and Earthly Hearing developed from Louise’s Heartlink Art. It lets Black sense activity across a hundred miles and see through a linked crow, but is less precise than his Blood Colored Domain. Losing the crow jolts him through the sensory link 1306 1308.
• System advancement lets Su Ye spend Slaughter Value on the clone’s cultivation and skills. Improving Black separately increases the demand on that resource 432.
• Thunder manipulation: During the Sanders Family ambush, Black formed a Thunder Long Whip and a Thunder Long Saber. His use of lightning shocked the demons present because Lightning Power naturally counters Demonic Energy 569 570.
• Fatal Blow and Life Control: He combined Fatal Blow with a Thunder Long Saber to kill Campbell, then used Life Control to extract Essence Blood Pearls from the fallen opponents 570.
• Close-quarters combat: Black defeated the Ancestor God Guards with decisive unarmed strikes and later destroyed a group of Blood Slaves through close-range blade work and evasive movement 1107 1335.
• Remote weapon control and domain attacks: During the Beast Tide, he controlled his blade mentally while advancing with his domain open, allowing him to kill creatures both nearby and at a distance 1328.

Life Law and Soul Enslavement

Black obtained the Slave Seal Art from Eyun after extracting its principles and cultivation Jade Slip. The original technique required the caster’s Soul Power to be at least ten times stronger than the target’s 1299.

• Slave Seal Art → Soul Enslavement → Life Imprint: System upgrades transformed the Divine Ability Seed into a Divine Ability and then a Law Embryo. Further advancement increased Life Law comprehension from 2% to 3% 1300.
• Life Imprint places a Slave Mark directly on an intelligent being’s soul. A marked target accepts Black as master from the heart rather than merely obeying under threat 1300.
• Heartlink Art → Heart-to-Heart → Heavenly Sight and Earthly Hearing: Advancing Louise’s technique improved his control over demonic beasts and the reach and clarity of his sensory connection. Further upgrades increased Life Law comprehension from 3% to 4% 1306.
• Blood refinement: By invoking Life Law, Black could remove impurities from Blood of Life and condense it into Blood Pearls whose quality and effects surpassed native Blood Pearls 1315.
• Large-scale refinement: He used Lolita to gather the Blood Qi of a Blood Pool and condensed it into more than twenty Blood Slave-grade Blood Pearls rather than bathing in the pool himself 1359.

Concealment and Divine Laws

• Myriad Illusions Annihilation: Obtained from Estelle and upgraded to the level of the Destiny Law. It conceals his aura, Divine Soul fluctuations, and traces of movement, though it does not defeat every form of divination 1367.
• Blood Sea concealment: Black used Myriad Illusions Annihilation while hiding in the Blood Sea after acquiring its core 1377.
• Eleven Divine Cores: On reaching God Level, the clone received the main body’s Law comprehension and formed cores corresponding to Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Life, Destiny, Destruction, Death, Space, Time, and Chaos. The cores were interconnected and appeared close to merging, as with Su Ye’s main body 1432.
• Breakthrough inheritance: This influx of Law comprehension allowed Black to skip Lower God and become a Middle God immediately. At that point, he had not yet absorbed much of the Nirvana Divine Source, leaving further potential unrealized 1432.

Investigation and Deception

Black’s reputation within the Blood Demon Guard rests heavily on investigation, interrogation, and calculated displays of loyalty. He exposed nine traitors in less than half a day, then drew out another with a bluff using a blank file 509.

His apparent investigative brilliance also benefited from human intelligence analysis. Through his connection to Su Ye, information could be passed to the Heavenly King Hall for examination, while Black received Bradwell’s praise and used the resulting purges to weaken demon forces and obtain resources 513.

Equipment and Items

• Blood Crystal Token — a gift from Bradwell granting access to training in Illusory Space 511.
• War Blade — a former weapon of Bradwell’s containing three of his attacks 573.
• Mid-grade Divine Artifact — used with Space Power to destroy a Demon King’s Divine Core; Black later lent it to Andre against two more Demon Kings 602 603.
• Blood Sea Core — emerged when Black offered a drop of blood and settled in his sea of consciousness 1377.
• Divine Artifact blade gifted by Bradwell — wielded against Night God, but shattered under his attack 1423.
• Creation Red Lotus Platform — fused with Black’s soul. He could neither hide nor remove it, and Night God could use it to track him, making continued concealment ineffective 1423 1432.
• Destruction Sovereign Mark — a subtle black pattern he could manifest on his left hand. Bradwell interpreted it as evidence that the Destruction Sovereign had noticed Black and reported it to the Demon Race Progenitor 1041 1109.
• Identity Tokens — Black registered tokens for himself and Michelle after overcoming the attempt to frame him at the Ancestor God Hall 1107.
• Giant Demon God’s Storage Bracelet — given to Black by Bradwell, who also publicly warned others against bullying him 1118.
• Blood Pearls — initially collected in a Bat Demon King’s nest and investigated because of their similarity to Su Ye’s Essence Blood Pearls. Black remained suspicious of possible hidden dangers despite Eyun reporting no recorded side effects 1288 1293 1303.
• Lance’s tracking Compass — used to locate Augustus on the Seventh Floor of the secret realm 1359 1367.

Relationships

• Su Ye — Black’s current identity is maintained by Su Ye’s clone and projected consciousness; Su Ye leaves the clone undercover in the Demon Realm 424 511 1137. Black later shields Su Ye from the Demon Race Progenitor’s full-strength palm strike, suffering potentially fatal injuries 1451.
• Blood Demon God Bradwell — patron who appoints and promotes Black, repeatedly interpreting his calculated behavior as loyalty 429 510 825. Bradwell increasingly views him with paternal affection, while Black privately exploits that trust. When Bradwell returns badly wounded, Black chooses to preserve his life rather than take his Demon God Core, supplies medicine, and maintains a convincing vigil 574 903.
• Andre — Team Seven captain and close ally; he stands by Black during an ambush and helps him confront the Black Family Head 510 567 601. Black refuses Carlos’s recruitment offer to remain in Team Seven, and Andre gives him three Divine Cores as a personal gift. Andre later recounts Black’s achievements to younger guards with considerable pride 518 1239.
• Michelle / Meng Xue’er — human spy serving as Black’s maid. He confines her in a birdcage and conceals his own human connection, but also shields her during inspections 513 521 1106 1431. Night God later exploits her as a trap, releasing Red Lotus threads from her body to bind Black. Black eventually brings her out of Taixu Space despite his critical injuries 1435 1451.
• Black Family Head — biological father of the original Black and a Succubus agent. Black kills him after discovering his attempted body-seizure plot 602 605.
• Augustus — illegitimate half-brother of the original Black; Black kills him at a Wilson Family ball 565 566.
• Lan Jiuyou — adviser who helps Black investigate suspects and identify the Blood Sea Core’s possible nature 565 1377. After Black is critically wounded, she warns that the First Embrace cannot heal him and offers to attempt another rescue, with no guarantee of success 1451.
• Boer — younger sister of the original Black, whose death at Su Ye’s hands fueled his hatred and desire for revenge 220 371 389.
• Ryan — the original Black’s protector and most dependable childhood support. His self-sacrifice enabled Black’s escape and became a central source of grief preceding the spatial awakening 389 597.
• Phelps — cousin and longtime childhood companion of the original Black. Although Phelps tricked him into leaving to monopolize credit for dealing with Su Ye, that separation inadvertently saved Black’s life 371 391.
• Mephisto — Blood Demon Guard Second Squad captain who becomes an important supporter. He helps suppress the Black Family and, after examining the Soul Swap Array, recognizes that Black’s vigilance prevented his father from stealing his body 574 602 605.
• Wilson Patriarch and Morkdo — nobles who become useful supporters. The Wilson Patriarch publicly shields Black after Augustus’s death; both later help fight the Black Family Head 566 603.
• Fal — rival of the original Black who mocked his failed awakening and Phelps’s death. After the takeover, Fal again provokes him, only to learn that Black has become Bradwell’s favored vice captain and be forced by Morkdo to apologize 391 517 518.
• Gu Zhaoxi — human agent whom Black first secretly observes through Michelle, then confronts with knowledge of restricted human records and a Heavenly King Hall token bearing Su Ye’s name. He later evacuates her from Taixu Space 1239 1244 1451.
• Estelle — demon woman Black saves after the Illusion Star Secret Realm expedition and again at the Blood Pool. His interventions deepen her admiration, and he obtains Myriad Illusions Annihilation from her 872 1351 1354 1367.
• Eyun and Louise — followers subjected to Black’s soul-based control. Eyun supplies the Slave Seal Art and information about Blood Pearls; Louise supplies Heartlink Art and serves as part of his reconnaissance network 1299 1300 1303 1306 1312.
• Dominic, Lolita, and the Demon God Progeny — Black subdues members of the younger demon elite and uses their abilities to gather beasts, blood, and other resources. Their assessment of him changes from exceptional prodigy to an overwhelmingly powerful monster 1316 1328 1336 1359.
• Vanessa — Black persuades Bradwell to accept her service, partly to humiliate the Giant Demon God. She is among those he later releases from Taixu Space 1118 1451.
• Night God — pursuer who seeks Black after he acquires the Blood Sea Core and Creation Red Lotus Platform. Black is shocked that Night God’s face is identical to Su Ye’s main body. Their conflict continues after Black’s advancement to Middle God 1411 1423 1432 1435.
• Demon Race Progenitor — initially receives Bradwell’s enthusiastic recommendation of Black as a loyal prodigy noticed by the Destruction Sovereign. He fails to identify a problem with Black’s bloodline during their close contact, but later delivers the strike Black intercepts to protect Su Ye 1109 1435 1451.

Story Role and Major Arcs

• Original Black’s revenge and awakening: Boer’s death makes Su Ye the original Black’s sworn enemy. After losing Phelps and Ryan, he awakens Space Ability while grieving on an island, then reveals it during a confrontation with Fal before the 007 Secret Realm opens 220 371 389 391.
• Rise in the Blood Demon Guard: Black uses selected memories to convince Bradwell of his loyalty, gains a Guard position, and is later promoted after helping identify traitors 429 509 510. His account attributes the Myriad Medicine Ceremony’s poisoning and the diversion of fortune to Destiny, whom he claims to have killed after awakening Space Ability 428.
• Conflict with the Black Family: After killing Augustus, he targets families tied to his father’s illegitimate children. His investigation exposes his father’s Succubus allegiance and ends with Black killing him 566 574 602 605. During the Sanders Family ambush, he advances repeatedly from Seventh Rank into Eighth Order, defeats stronger opponents, and subsequently leads raids that uncover actual shipments of embargoed supplies to the Succubus Domain 568 569 570 571 572.
• Cassio and Carlos investigation: After defeating his father, Black discovers a list of Succubus agents and Cassio’s severed head in the dead man’s Storage Bracelet. He brings Andre and Mephisto to the Third Squad’s hall and orders them to seize Carlos 605.
• Undercover intelligence: Black exploits Michelle’s reports while withholding his identity from her. He later identifies himself to the human agent Gu Zhaoxi with a Heavenly King Hall token bearing Su Ye’s name 513 1244. He also proposes quietly passing intelligence to humans to help eliminate the Succubus God and Undead Demon God, presenting it to Bradwell as a tacit understanding rather than a formal alliance and volunteering to accept responsibility 608.
• Fomenting conflict between Demon Gods: Black accompanies Bradwell on attacks against Undead Demon God outposts, kills suppressed defenders, and plants traces of Bradwell’s power while arguing that their obviousness will suggest a Succubus frame-up. The operation yields fifteen Divine Cores and brings his Slaughter Value to 4,323,698 828.
• Illusion Star Secret Realm: Black engineers an apparent agreement between the Blood Demon and Succubus factions, prompting Salist to intervene when Orcus and Arthas ambush him. He later saves Estelle and refuses recruitment into the Succubus faction while concealing that he revived Arthas and helped him escape 860 872.
• Ancestral Land and Xuanming Secret Realm: He protects Michelle during registration, gathers followers among Demon God progeny, develops long-range reconnaissance, and uses a Beast Tide to accumulate resources 1106 1306 1328. After recognizing a deliberate frame-up at the Ancestor God Hall, he defeats the guards, kills the uncooperative steward, and registers both his and Michelle’s Identity Tokens 1107.
• Subjugation and resource gathering: Black obtains and upgrades Eyun’s Slave Seal Art, enslaves followers, and advances Louise’s sensory technique. He turns Beast Tides into a source of Slaughter Value, defeats Blood Slaves, and refines Blood Pearls from gathered blood and the Blood Pool 1299 1300 1303 1306 1315 1335 1359.
• Blood Sea and breakthrough: The Blood Sea Core enters Black after reacting to his blood. Later, eleven Divine Cores form during his breakthrough to Middle God, drawing Night God to his location 1377 1432. Before advancing, he hides his followers in Taixu Space, observes the powerful figures fighting on the Seventh Floor, and uses Myriad Illusions Annihilation to conceal himself 1367.
• Escape from Night God: Night God discovers Black in the Blood Sea, blocks his spatial movement, and shatters his Divine Artifact blade. Black survives using Origin Laws and an Essence Blood Pearl, then escapes the Xuanming Secret Realm. Realizing that the Creation Red Lotus Platform makes him trackable, he chooses advancement over further concealment 1423.
• Middle God confrontation: Black uses information from the First Demon God to enter the Second Demon God’s bedchamber and break through. Confident that his inherited Law comprehension gives him a chance to resist or escape Night God, he leaves to confront him. Night God subsequently traps him in a cocoon of Red Lotus threads planted in Meng Xue’er, while Black provokes him with a mocking account of the Sunflower Manual 1432 1435.
• Sacrifice to protect Su Ye: Black intercepts the Demon Race Progenitor’s full-strength palm strike and is left near death. Su Ye channels Divine Power into him and feeds him Essence Blood Pearls, but his life continues to fade. With Su Ye’s consent, Lan Jiuyou attempts to save him. Black uses his remaining strength to release Meng Xue’er, Gu Zhaoxi, Vanessa, and the Demon God Progeny from Taixu Space, after which the progeny begin screaming and convulsing as madness overtakes them 1451.
