Background / History
Bull Demon King was one of six powerful Demon Realm figures compelled by Zhe Xingsun to become his sworn brothers. Zhe Xingsun bestowed on him the title Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven. The oath predated Zhe Xingsun’s suppression beneath the Five Elements Mountain. 564 630
He is recognized as a Demon Realm Venerable and the Old Ancestor of the Mang Niu clan. When reincarnation emerged from the Dead Land, he sought an opportunity there but judged himself unable to contend for it. 628
Appearance
In human form, Bull Demon King is a large, cloaked old man with two enormous bull horns and copper-bell-sized eyes. 628
- His demon form is described as a large green ox. 636
- His build and horned appearance identify him as a bull demon even before Lu Cailing names him. 628
Personality
Bull Demon King is protective of Lu Cailing, reacting with anger when he learns that members of the Six-Eared Macaque Race pursued her. He readily commits his influence to recovering the Ancestor Demon Stone Tokens for her. 628 632
Despite his rank, he is cautious around powers he cannot measure. After witnessing Li Fan cripple several Venerables effortlessly, he submits alongside Lu Cailing and seeks mercy. 636 He also hesitates over whether to expose Ao Wushuang’s false story about the small mountain village, aware that revealing the truth could endanger his group. 642
His loyalty to Zhe Xingsun remains decisive. At Spiritual Mountain, he openly defies the Brahma Ancestor’s suppression rather than allow his sworn brother to remain trapped. 656
