Background

Fang Hong set out from East Mountain Village carrying the worn blade and bloodstained bow left by his father, Fang Datou. After his parents’ deaths, he resolved to enter a Martial Dao Sect, become strong enough to survive in a brutal world, and avenge his family. 2

He trained in the eastern mountains, rapidly reached Flesh Refinement Mastery, and changed from a peace-minded transmigrator into a more decisive survivor. He eventually killed Deng Changliu, completing his revenge, and acquired the Iron Leg Skill and Great Falling Monument Hand from him. 3 8

Before entering a sect, Fang Hong deliberately collected and cultivated a wide range of techniques. His goal was to eliminate every exploitable weakness—mobility, weapon arts, long-range offense, body tempering, and soul-related defenses—rather than rely on raw strength alone. 13 14 20

He arrived at the Star River Sect after his Bone Refinement cultivation had already granted him physical strength far beyond his visible realm. His extraordinary performance earned him direct admission as an Inner Disciple and formal acceptance as Zhao Tianchen’s personal disciple. 26 32 34

Appearance

Fang Hong is a tall, straight-backed young man with a lean but powerful build. His appearance becomes increasingly refined and imposing as his body-refinement cultivation advances. 20 26 58

• Sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a handsome face with a defined jawline. 58
• Usually has an upright, steady bearing likened to a coiled dragon or crouching tiger. 58
• Bears a dark-red vertical pupil line on his brow after beginning cultivation of the Extinction Eye. 61
• His perfected Myriad Stars Body is marked by starlight patterns and Star Maps across warm-jade-like skin. 76
• His body-refinement techniques can enlarge and deform his hands into massive, dark, claw-like weapons when fully activated. 11
• His Triple Martial Body and Xuanwu Divine Runes give off tremendous heat, vital-energy flames, and a powerful indestructible aura. 232

Personality

Fang Hong is intensely goal-oriented. He prioritizes cultivation, survival, and long-term strength over comfort, reputation, or romance, repeatedly choosing to deepen his foundation instead of resting on his achievements. 13 92 250

He is polite toward elders and allies, even when his status exceeds theirs, but he does not tolerate threats or humiliation. When an opponent attacks him or becomes a future danger, Fang Hong favors decisive extermination over mercy or prolonged revenge. 100 145 220 301

Despite his ruthlessness, he is calculating rather than reckless. He uses negotiations, feigned loyalty, sect politics, and his reputation as tools to secure resources or remove obstacles. His frequent claims of being “kind” and “easygoing” are treated with disbelief even by Zhao Tianchen. 165 200 201 223

Pursuit of Perfection

Fang Hong considers a weakness a fatal flaw. He systematically acquires, creates, and perfects techniques to become an all-round combatant rather than a specialist. 13 57 99

Ruthlessness

He regards enemies as problems to be permanently removed. This outlook leads him to kill Lu Miyuan, destroy the Lord of the Netherworld Path’s dispersed soul lights, and eliminate three rival Dao Children during the Star Lord Trial. 175 221 301 305

Cunning and Humor

Fang Hong often adopts exaggeratedly respectful language while bargaining, provoking enemies, or dealing with the Origin Realm Consciousness. His “loyalty” declarations are a recurring source of exasperation for the latter. 189 239 288

Abilities & Skills

Golden Finger

Fang Hong possesses a Golden Finger that records the contents of techniques he reads and displays their mastery on a panel. It enables him to cultivate techniques to perfection at extraordinary speed and provides a foundation for creating new arts. 14 127 175

• Recorded thirteen manuals in addition to his existing techniques after reading them. 14
• Allows him to rapidly perfect skills that would normally require extensive study and resources. 47 175
• Supports the creation of new cultivation methods by organizing his accumulated knowledge and experience. 54 99

Body Refinement

Fang Hong’s primary foundation is an overwhelmingly powerful physical body. He has cultivated flesh, skin, bone, marrow, blood, organs, the Myriad Stars Body, and three separate Martial Bodies to exceptional levels. 76 99 232

• His Skin Refinement can withstand strikes from his own blade without being cut. 10
• His Myriad Stars Body contains Star Chains throughout his flesh and blood, greatly enhancing strength and vitality. 76
• The Azure Sky Martial Body grants Calamity Body-level physical combat power and increased control over stellar energy. 229
• The Ziwei Star Martial Body gave his body an initial trace of invincibility. 230
• The Jade Sun True Body manifests vital-energy true flames. 232
• Xuanwu’s Resonance further strengthens his body and spiritual platform, granting resistance to evil influences. 232

Extinction Eye

The Extinction Eye is Fang Hong’s signature Divine Ability, cultivated from a rune-covered beast hide gifted by Pang Zhenghao. It manifests as a vertical pupil on his brow and fires devastating Extinction Divine Light. 56 60 61

• Defeated Qiao Feisu, the Star River Sect’s top Earth Realm disciple, and won the Sect Grand Competition. 66
• Can counter high-level attacks, including the Crimson Spirit Sect Grand Elder’s Heavenly Cloud Howl. 82
• At early stages, its use heavily drains Fang Hong’s blood and spirit, making it a trump card rather than a routine attack. 66
• Its later stages require soul-based cultivation; Fang Hong resumed advancing it after reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm. 95 151
• Combined with his Destruction Rule, it produced a beam capable of shattering tribulation lightning and striking the source of calamity. 238

Martial Arts and Weapon Mastery

Fang Hong has cultivated numerous offensive techniques, allowing every part of his body to function as a weapon. His style is direct, overwhelming, and built around physical superiority, but he also possesses diverse techniques for movement and weapon combat. 57 62

• Perfected the Military Formation Saber Art and used Sweep the Thousand Armies to pursue Deng Changliu. 8
• Uses the Great Falling Monument Hand, Seven Star Seal Method, Heavenly Pivot Seal, Flying Immortal Steps, and other perfected techniques. 11 41 47 62
• Can employ palms, fists, fingers, legs, shoulders, elbows, and knees in rapid, varied combinations. 62
• Is proficient with many weapon types through his Golden Finger, favoring a versatile Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear. 100

Formations and Artifact Refining

Although initially judged to lack natural talent for formations, Fang Hong persisted and developed formidable proficiency through study and his Golden Finger. 45 48

• Created the Skin Refining – Body Tempering Chapter after ten days of experimentation. 54
• Perfected the Star Sea Array Formation and later improved both formation and artifact-refining proficiency through exchanges with Zhou Tian Immortal Sect masters. 127 324
• Uses the Grand Formation of the Stars to seal space-time, control stars, and support large-scale combat. 292 295

Soul and Curse Techniques

Fang Hong possesses techniques capable of targeting souls, memories, and resurrection methods. 173 175

• Soul Searching Secret Art — forcibly searches a target’s memories; used on Wanyan Zhilan and the Mo Yuan Spirit Emperor. 173 197
• Death Curse Technique — a Spirit Realm curse adapted to invoke the Origin Realm rather than a Spirit God; it eradicated the Lord of the Netherworld Path’s soul remnant and dispersed soul lights. 175
• Nine Revolutions Heavenly Gang True Art — strengthens his Heavenly Gang True Essence, Dharma Aspect, and Primordial Spirit. 151 190

• Pang Zhenghao — early acquaintance and supporter who gave Fang Hong the beast hide containing the Extinction Eye; later addresses Fang Hong as “Uncle-Master.” 56

• Zhang Jinghai — Sect Master of the Zhou Tian Immortal Sect. He publicly welcomed Fang Hong, named him a returned branch-lineage disciple, and appointed him the ninth Dao Child. 271 273
