Background / History
Lord Sky Erosion was once a peerless human genius who survived repeated assassination attempts by hostile races. During a war against the Zerg Race, he encountered a Zerg Universe Master and suffered a bizarre poison attack that severely damaged his soul. He later became a top Universe Overlord, but the injury prevented him from advancing further for hundreds of millions of eras. 60 64
He is a member of the Virtual Universe Company lineage and a contemporary, long-standing friend of the Chaos City Lord. Before becoming a Universe Master, he was entrusted with the long-term oversight of the Primordial Secret Realm, while the Chaos City Lord personally guarded the Primitive Secret Realm. 60 177
His sixth direct disciple, You Yan, possessed extraordinary Space Law talent and had cleared the nineteenth level of the Heaven-Reaching Bridge as a World Lord. After You Yan was killed on the Outer-Domain Battlefield, Lord Sky Erosion asked both the Chaos City Lord and the Giant Axe Founder to attempt a resurrection. Both attempts failed because of You Yan’s fusion with a Space Divine Fruit, and both rescuers sustained injuries from the backlash. 138 181
The failed resurrection and a subsequent insult that the Heart Erosion lineage could not produce a disciple capable of clearing the Primitive Heaven-Reaching Mountain became a lasting burden for Lord Sky Erosion and his disciples. 138
Appearance
Lord Sky Erosion is a modestly built man, standing under two meters tall, though his presence can appear overwhelmingly vast even to powerful Venerables. 149
- Often wears silver robes. 64 81
- His voice is described as clear, refined, and resonant. 58 126
- In formal settings, his presence is likened to a mountain peak filling an entire hall. 68
- Wields a long-handled three-pointed double-edged blade in battle. 149
Personality
Lord Sky Erosion is exacting but deeply invested in his disciples. He values quality over quantity in accepting students and immediately recognized Yin Congyang as exceptionally suited to the Heart Erosion lineage. 59 60
He is protective without encouraging dependence. He repeatedly warns Yin Congyang about assassination, soul enslavement, and the limits of a master’s ability to intervene, while still arranging secrecy measures and providing resources for the disciple’s survival. 64 68 81
His conduct is also shaped by a strong sense of debt and responsibility. He considers the Heart Erosion lineage indebted to the Giant Axe Founder for attempting You Yan’s resurrection, and encourages his disciples to improve themselves rather than accept that debt passively. 138 182
Abilities & Skills
Soul Attacks
Lord Sky Erosion is a specialist in soul-based combat, one of the two central methods of the Heart Erosion lineage. 103
- Unleashed a domineering soul attack against Venerable Burning Heart while moving to rescue Yin Congyang. 149
- His lineage’s foundational soul technique is the Soul Canon, which is restricted to direct disciples. 103
- His own soul injury was severe enough to halt his progress below Universe Master despite his willpower meeting the required standard. 64
Domain Secret Techniques
The Heart Erosion lineage also relies on domain secret techniques for combat and survival. 103
- Uses the Heart-Eroding Chaos Stele’s path, which combines the Law of Space with the lower-tier Five Elements laws. 56 58
- Demonstrates the stele through 108 flowers representing Space and elemental laws. 60
Teleportation and Spatial Travel
As a high-level powerhouse, Lord Sky Erosion travels and operates across vast distances.
- Maintained a main body in the Primordial Secret Realm, a long-term clone in the Universe Ocean, and another clone assigned to the Kanli Secret Realm. 60
- Led Yin Congyang through the Tuoya Black Hole and the natural wormholes of the Universe Ocean. 179 180
- Teleported directly across millions of kilometers to intervene during Venerable Burning Heart’s assassination attempt. 149
Teaching and Combat Guidance
Lord Sky Erosion personally develops his disciples’ cultivation paths rather than merely supplying techniques.
- Designed tailored virtual opponents to expose flaws in Yin Congyang’s axe techniques. 135 147
- Provided Yin Congyang with the Soul Canon, the Space Misalignment movement technique, and a recommended list of cultivation manuals. 63 64 103
- Encouraged Yin Congyang to create self-made secret techniques and reach Immortality rather than indefinitely remain a World Lord. 126 135

- Tieyi King — Fifteenth direct disciple. Tieyi King welcomes Yin Congyang to Sky Erosion Palace and acts as an elder brother within the lineage. 67
- You Yan — Sixth direct disciple, slain on the Outer-Domain Battlefield. Lord Sky Erosion’s failed efforts to resurrect him profoundly affected the entire lineage. 138
