Background

Chu Wujiu was born into the War Immortal Chu Clan with unremarkable talent. His life changed when he awakened the Nine Prisons Battle Body at fifteen, after which his cultivation advanced rapidly and he became the strongest member of the Chu Clan’s younger generation 63.

His reputation rests on extreme cross-realm combat. Before reaching the Tenth Realm, he had already killed opponents two major realms above himself; at the Tenth Realm, he was said to be capable of instantly killing Twelfth Realm powerhouses 63.

Li Xuan’s account of being slain by Qin Wangchuan in one sword strike provoked Chu Wujiu’s interest. Initially dismissive, he chose to enter the True Dragon Secret Realm specifically to test whether Qin Wangchuan was truly as formidable as rumored 63.

Although Qin Wangchuan repeatedly overwhelms him, Chu Wujiu treats that gap as the defining opportunity of his life rather than a humiliation to be avoided. He believes that he was born before a lofty mountain so that he could one day cross it, and he sees their rivalry as one that should leave both names in history 482.

Appearance

Chu Wujiu has sharp, blade-carved features and a restrained presence likened to an abyss, though a heart-palpitating sharpness leaks through his composure 63.

• Often wears gray robes; he is also seen in purple robes during the True Dragon Secret Realm expedition 63 79.
• Possesses an imposing physical aura, with surging blood energy and battle intent during combat 167.
• His Heaven and Earth Law manifests as a towering Dharma Body wielding halberds 242 304.
• When using Bloodburst, a scorching crimson glow seeps from beneath his skin, steam rises from his body, and his blood can burst through his pores 501 615.
• During his Heaven-Opening breakthrough, his Dharma manifestation becomes a blood-red figure capable of wielding the sacred halberd’s phantom 375 617.

Personality

Chu Wujiu is blunt, combative, and intensely committed to surpassing his limits. He believes effort matters more than innate talent, a conviction that drives him to challenge Qin Wangchuan despite repeated defeats 63.

His rivalry with Qin Wangchuan evolves from confidence into self-awareness. After being casually swatted out of the True Dragon Secret Realm, he recognizes the gulf between them, voluntarily cuts down his cultivation to pursue the Celestial Being path, and seeks a fair rematch rather than abandoning his ambition 79 84 95.

Though often reckless, he is not cruelly pragmatic. He values directness, respects opponents who dare to challenge overwhelming odds, and refuses to abandon allies or the dead—even while exhausted and injured by Black Mist erosion 273 352 353.

Chu Wujiu regards rivalry without hatred as something admirable. Rather than seeking Qin Wangchuan’s ruin, he wants to be defeated, improve, and eventually surpass him; he extends similar respect to weaker opponents who still find the courage to challenge him 482 615.

Abilities & Skills

Nine Prisons Battle Body

Chu Wujiu’s awakened physique is the foundation of his explosive physical strength and his ability to defeat stronger cultivators.

• Each broken “prison” greatly multiplies his strength 72.
• Allows him to fight opponents multiple realms above his own 63 72.
• Supports overwhelming close-quarters power; a single unassisted punch crushed dozens of Alien Race combatants into paste 167.
• His physical endurance allows him to climb Wandao Academy’s hundred-tier Heaven Ascending Ladder through pure body and willpower 281.
• At the Flowing Rosy Clouds Sect, he destroys a Thirteenth Realm Supreme Being’s eight-word Heaven and Earth Law with a single ordinary punch 615.

Battle Intent Furnace

The Chu Clan’s secret technique converts spiritual energy and battle intent into explosive combat power.

• Can rapidly elevate his realm and raw power in battle 113.
• Its reliance on battle intent risks loss of control, a weakness Qin Wangchuan identifies while adapting the technique 121.
• Chu Wujiu later shares a truncated version with Qin Wangchuan for public transmission; only Chu Clan bloodline holders can reach its full potential 119.
• He operates the Third Gear Spirit Power Furnace at full capacity during the Alien Race battlefield campaign 167.
• His Chu Clan bloodline allows him to drive the Wanjie Thunder Furnace to Fourth Gear beyond its normal limit 240.

Heaven and Earth Law: Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment

Chu Wujiu manifests a seven-character Heaven and Earth Law centered on killing, judgment, and a massive Dharma Body.

• Forms a hundred-zhang Dharma Body capable of overwhelming higher-realm opponents 268.
• Used to easily kill Elder Xu, a Fourteenth Realm cultivator 268.
• Defeats a four-armed Alien Race warrior in the Black Sky Blood Arena 350.
• Shatters the Heaven and Earth Dharma manifestation of the prior generation’s leading prodigy, Yan Yun, during Wandao Academy’s Fourth Trial 301.
• His manifestation can wield improvised halberd-shaped weapons formed through Dao Shu Bing Bone 304.
• The Dharma Body remains vulnerable to Qin Wangchuan’s Saint Law and Slaughtering Dao Heavenly Scar 244.

Heaven-Opening Dao

Chu Wujiu’s personal Dao is the Heaven-Opening Dao, a path that harmonizes his battle intent, bloodline, and connection to the Heaven-Opening War Halberd 483.

• His Divine Soul bears a Heaven-Opening Mark, giving him an unusually intimate awareness of the Chu Clan’s sacred relic and its manifestations 386.
• He realizes that Heaven-Opening is called forth through intent and will rather than simple physical weapon technique 466.
• His breakthrough allows his blood-colored Dharma manifestation to catch and wield true phantom projections of the Heaven-Opening War Halberd 375.
• He can summon a halberd through a spatial fissure opened by Heaven-Opening and wield it in coordinated attacks against Qin Wangchuan 494.
• His increasingly controlled Heaven-Opening strike can cleave away an entire side of the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Sect’s Flying Ship and leave a spatial fissure in the sky 617.

Heaven-Opening War Halberd Projection

Chu Wujiu can manifest a projection of the Chu Clan’s ancestral holy relic, the Heaven-Opening War Halberd.

• The projection produces void fissures capable of shredding Qin Wangchuan’s Heavenly Sword 114.
• Its appearance suppresses spiritual energy and carries an aura that returns all things to primordial ruin 241.
• It serves as his principal answer to Qin Wangchuan’s Heavenly Sword techniques 241.
• Temporarily leaving the halberd open after countering the Heavenly Sword created the opening Qin Wangchuan used to target him 115.
• Its projection remains the greatest threat among Qin Wangchuan’s challengers, forcing Qin to redirect its force with precise sword techniques rather than receiving it directly 495 498.

Bloodburst

Bloodburst is a dangerous self-created body technique that Chu Wujiu developed specifically for confronting Qin Wangchuan.

• It explosively amplifies his physical speed, strength, and battle aura 501.
• Its full activation lasts no more than ten breaths before his blood flows in reverse and ruptures through his skin 501.
• Chu can use a controlled fraction of Bloodburst to reinforce his already overwhelming close-quarters combat without immediately suffering its full backlash 615.
• Combining Bloodburst with the Heaven-Opening War Halberd enables him to overpower Qin Wangchuan’s Void Divine Feather and blast Qin through the arena barrier 501.

Close-Quarters Combat

Chu Wujiu favors direct physical combat, halberd strikes, and unconventional tactics.

• Can use blood energy to blast open sealed paths through solid rock 257.
• Fires small projectiles, such as a copper coin, with enough force to pierce several demonic beasts at once 72.
• Used a sudden headbutt to break Cangming’s prepared strategy and wound his Dharma manifestation while exhausted 353.
• His straightforward fighting style can leave him exposed to more tactical opponents, particularly Qin Wangchuan 115 304.
• Even when faced with a far weaker challenger, he acknowledges courage after victory and invites the opponent to challenge him again once stronger 615.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Heaven-Opening War Halberd — Projection of the Chu Clan’s ancestral sacred relic, used as his strongest combat trump card 114 241.
• Battle Intent Furnace — Chu Clan secret technique that amplifies battle power through spirit energy and battle intent 113 119.
• Copper coin — Used as a compact projectile weapon against demonic beasts 67 72.
• World Suppressing Tower — A treasure pagoda he donates to Wen Dao Palace; it expands into a thousand-zhang tower behind the palace 144.
• Dao Shu Bing Bone — Talisman-derived weapon framework that can become twin halberds and reinforce his Dharma Body’s arm as weapon bone 304.
• Black Iron Great Halberd — His personal training weapon at Wandao Academy, used while refining his halberd path and connection to Heaven-Opening 386.

Relationships

• Qin Wangchuan — Primary rival and the “mountain” driving his growth. Chu Wujiu has been repeatedly defeated by him but continues pursuing a fair fight while forging his own Dao 79 95 280.
• Li Xuan — Fellow prodigy and close ally. Li Xuan warns him about Qin Wangchuan, joins him in pursuing the Celestial Being path, and later offers to teach him the Sword Intent Furnace 63 84 133.
• Li Qingluan — His fiancée and a peerless Li Clan sword cultivator. Her overwhelming status and strength make even Chu Wujiu instinctively cautious around her 258 334 338.
• Chu Qingyan — Senior Chu Clan powerhouse who guides and pushes him to reveal his full strength at the Heavenly Road Dao Discussion 95.
• Ji Wuchen — Rival and comrade among the younger generation. Their exchanges are often taunting, but both recognize the need to advance beyond Qin Wangchuan’s shadow 167 281.
• Ye Lingchuan — Trusted ally in multi-party battles and secret-realm expeditions; Ye Lingchuan openly expresses faith in Chu Wujiu’s ability to endure the Black Sky arena 113 256 353.
• Zhao Lingyun — Ally who assists him with talismans and Dao Shu Bing Bone; also frequently mocks his recklessness and poor understanding of romance 304 338.
• Yun Zexuan — Strategic companion who coordinates formations and combined attacks around Chu Wujiu’s frontal strength 113 267.
• Xiang Haoran — Rival from earlier secret-realm conflicts. Their rivalry persists, though Xiang Haoran ultimately joins him against Cangming 279 353.
• Mo Yan — Young Master of the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Sect. Mo Yan initially orders that Chu Wujiu be spared as a potentially worthy future opponent, but is later left awestruck when Chu casually destroys his sect’s Flying Ship 616 617.

Story Role / Major Arcs

True Dragon Secret Realm

Chu Wujiu enters the True Dragon Secret Realm to challenge Qin Wangchuan. After Qin Wangchuan obtains Dragon Battle Armor, Chu Wujiu pursues him and is casually sent flying by a single slap, forcing him to confront their enormous gap 63 79.

Celestial Being Path

Inspired by Qin Wangchuan’s breakthrough, Chu Wujiu cuts his cultivation from the Tenth Realm to the Eighth Realm so he can attempt the same ascent. He treats the loss of cultivation as a necessary rebirth rather than a setback 84.

Heavenly Road Dao Discussion

Chu Wujiu arrives prepared to use the Battle Intent Furnace and eventually manifests the Heaven-Opening War Halberd projection. He works with other prodigies to pressure Qin Wangchuan, but Qin Wangchuan exploits the halberd’s opening and defeats him with the Taichu God-Burial Sword 109 114 115.

Afterward, Chu Wujiu publicly contributes the Battle Intent Furnace to Qin Wangchuan’s Dao-sharing initiative, accepting that advancement requires exchanging and learning techniques rather than guarding them selfishly 119.

Wandao Academy Trials

At Wandao Academy, Chu Wujiu clears Heart Demon Road in a single breath and acknowledges that his pursuit of Qin Wangchuan must coexist with forging his own Dao 280. He then reaches the hundredth tier of the Heaven Ascending Ladder, becoming the third Chu Clan member to leave a name on the Wandao Heavenly Stele 281.

During the Academy’s Fourth Trial, he battles the projected geniuses of the previous era with the Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment. Though he and the other current-era prodigies are ultimately overwhelmed by Qin Wangchuan’s trial phantom, the experience reinforces both his frustration and his determination to continue advancing 301 306 311.

Black Sky Blood Arena

During the war against the Alien Race, Chu Wujiu represents the Three Thousand Provinces in the Black Sky Blood Arena. He kills multiple challengers with the Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment but suffers increasingly severe Black Mist erosion 350 352.

He refuses to abandon Shatong’s remains, honoring Shatong’s wish to be buried in the Three Thousand Provinces. Even after exhausting himself against Cangming and being wounded by Ye Wuhen, he remains determined to carry out that promise 352 354 356.

Heaven-Opening Breakthrough

Chu Wujiu achieves a major breakthrough when his blood-colored Dharma manifestation summons true phantom projections of the Heaven-Opening War Halberd. His growing connection to the sacred relic is rooted in the Heaven-Opening Mark in his Divine Soul 375 386.

When Qin Wangchuan later manifests Heaven-Opening through a karmic connection with Chu Wujiu, the Chu Clan repeatedly and incorrectly blames Chu Wujiu for violating the sacred-relic ban. He is summoned, accused, and ordered to apologize despite having remained at Wandao Academy and knowing nothing of Qin’s action 466 467.

Edge-Tempering Battle

Chu Wujiu joins Li Xuan, Ji Wuchen, Ye Lingchuan, Zhao Lingyun, Yun Zexuan, and the others in their coordinated attempt to defeat Qin Wangchuan. He serves as the team’s principal source of direct offensive force, repeatedly wielding Heaven-Opening while the others create openings through time manipulation, terrain control, talismans, and sword techniques 494 498.

He later becomes the battle’s true decisive attacker. After the group misdirects Qin Wangchuan with Zhou Yunyi’s apparent charge, Chu Wujiu activates Bloodburst and strikes with the Heaven-Opening War Halberd, shattering Qin’s Void Divine Feather and sending him through the arena barrier 501. Chu Clan juniors subsequently regard this as his famous victory over Qin Wangchuan, though Chu himself refuses to let them belittle Qin as a defeated subordinate 593.

Flowing Rosy Clouds Sect Conflict

Chu Wujiu joins Yun Zexuan, Ji Wuchen, Zhao Lingyun, and Ye Lingchuan in confronting the Flowing Rosy Clouds Sect over Su Wanqing’s apparent manipulation of Ye Lingchuan. He defeats the sect’s younger generation one-handed, destroys its combat platform after it refuses to produce Su Wanqing, and openly demands a Heavenly Venerable opponent 614 615.

When the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Sect arrives in support of its young master Mo Yan, Chu Wujiu answers its Dao Protector’s attack by unleashing Heaven-Opening. His blood-red halberd strike tears away an entire wing of the sect’s Flying Ship, after which he reunites with Qin Wangchuan and proudly challenges him to another match 616 617.
