Background and History
Early Life and Initial Training
Ji Yun began his journey as an 18-year-old Quasi-Martial Artist, practicing with a spear in his courtyard under the guidance of his uncle, Wei Qing 1. His father, Ji Shan, was a retired warrior who had once been a War God-level powerhouse, though this fact was not widely known 15 22. Early on, Ji Yun’s potential was recognized by Inspector Liu, a Senior War God from the Limit Dojo, who tested him in punch force, speed, and neural reaction, then arranged a spar with a Martial Artist named Li Xuan. Though Ji Yun lost the spar, he impressed Inspector Liu with his mindset and resilience 1.
In the following months, Ji Yun cultivated Genetic Origin Energy intensively, his physical fitness rapidly increasing from Quasi-Martial Artist to approaching Low-Level War General level 3. His first cultivation increased his punch force to 3,216 kg, and after a month of focused absorption and training, his punch force reached 6,314 kg, with speed of 84.3 m/s 3. He attempted to sense Psychic Energy within himself but failed, confirming he was not a Psychic Master 3. His father arranged a dinner with his former teammate Luo and his family, where Ji Yun met Luo Yue, a young woman with a pure and radiant demeanor. They began a conversation that hinted at a deepening connection 3 4. Later, when Luo Yue was harassed by thugs in an alley, Ji Yun protected her, revealing his identity as the Peerless General and showing his growing strength 4.
Warrior Practical Examination and Early Missions
Ji Yun participated in the Warrior Practical Examination in the Jinnan Military Region. The examination required Quasi-Warriors to enter a small town infested with H-Class Monsters and collect at least three monster left ears to pass; the top 60% would earn the title of Warrior. Ji Yun passed with 22 left ears, demonstrating his ability to handle life-and-death situations 5. During the examination, he defeated Xia Jiang while restricting himself to Intermediate Warrior-level physical statistics, showing the vast gap between his spear realm and Xia Jiang's blade technique 6. After the exam, General Lu Xiangsheng invited him to join the Huaxia Military, but Ji Yun declined due to his existing contract with the Limit Dojo, showing loyalty and commitment 7.
As his strength grew, Ji Yun joined the Eagle Strike Squad for practical combat experience. His father, Ji Shan, had recently broken through to War God-level physical fitness and decided to withdraw Ji Yun from the squad to prepare for a dangerous training expedition to City 003 in Former Shanghai City, which was infested with Lord Rank monsters. Ji Yun began intensive training to improve his physical strength, aiming to reach Mid-Level War General fitness 15. He eventually achieved a punch force of 21,230 kg and comprehended the third level of the Fierce Wind movement technique, impressing Situ Ye, a special envoy from the Limit Dojo 22.
Entry into the Elite Training Camp
After Luo Feng’s bounty situation escalated, Ji Yun received a call from him hinting at trouble 22. Shortly after, Situ Ye offered Ji Yun the opportunity to enter the Elite Training Camp by passing a B-level test. Ji Yun accepted and spent half a month training in the Jinnan Military Region to further improve his strength before departing 22. He, along with Situ Ye and Wang Xiao, traveled to the camp’s headquarters in Hongning Base City. At the entrance, Ji Yun remained calm and unaffected by the intimidating aura of an SS-level black dragon carving, demonstrating his advanced insight and mental fortitude 25.
Upon entering the camp, Ji Yun passed the B-level trial in the Nine-Fold Tower, becoming the 182nd student (code 570218). He learned that the camp heavily valued Trial Tower level, Punch Force Release level, and Black Dragon Sculpture ranking, with substantial rewards for high ranks. He studied the Spear Path through instructional videos and realized he could further improve his leg burst power and speed. That night, he turned down eight invitations from various factions, including the Huaxia Military, preferring to maintain his independence 27.
Ji Yun entered the Trial Tower and swiftly cleared the first three floors, shocking the entire camp. His ranking on the leaderboard jumped from 182nd to 43rd and eventually reached second place, drawing the attention of the Hall Master and inspectors, who decided to meet him in person 29. At the time, his Trial Tower level was 4.5 and his combat power amplitude was 14.4, despite a comparatively lower 3.2 force-emission level 29. His performance led Hong, the Limit Dojo Master, to summon him personally 30.
Ji Yun subsequently signed a core-member contract with the Limit Dojo, receiving an annual activity budget of 9 billion and rewards for reaching a combat power amplitude of 19.6. These rewards included an SS-class combat suit and weapons, a manual of his choice, and Blood Dragon Ginseng 31. He chose the World Destroyer manual and, after consuming the Vegetation Spirit and Blood Dragon King's essence, became a High-Level War God 31 32.
Rapid Advancement and Earthly Exploits
During a subsequent mission, Ji Yun absorbed a white crystal, triggering a massive energy surge and a breakthrough to the Councilor level. His body underwent transformations, granting him the ability to fly and a special ability called Wind Phantom Body. He observed Luo Feng absorbing a Vegetation Spirit and later intervened to stop Councilor Fal from pursuing Luo Feng, warning him about the Limit Dojo’s impending arrival. When two Inspectors arrived, Ji Yun revealed his identity, shocking them with his rapid advancement from a mere elite camp student to a Councilor 35.
After advancing to the Councilor level, Ji Yun traveled south to Jiangnan Base City, visiting the Jinmen War Base and meeting Lu Xiangsheng. He challenged a King Rank monster, the Mountain-Quaking Whale, in Bohai Bay but failed to kill it, learning more about his Domain in the process. He observed the ruined cities along the way, reflecting on the contrast between pre- and post-Great Nirvana Earth. He bought a jade bracelet for Luo Yue and visited her at her apartment, expressing his desire to protect her and stay until she graduated 41.
Ji Yun discovered a vast treasure cache containing 116 Wood Bud Crystals, 174 Spirit Source Fruits, weapons, Force Battle Suits, manuals, and a Cloud-Touching Vine seedling. He bound the plant life and stored the resources in a Space Bracelet; their value was comparable to the wealth of a Universe Level powerhouse 46. Through extensive cultivation and use of these resources, Ji Yun reached Planetary Level Stage 4, while his Cloud-Touching Vine reached Planetary Level Stage 5 47.
Babata later offered Ji Yun membership in the Falling Ink Star core lineage. Ji Yun accepted, paid respects to the Falling Ink Star Master, and received the inheritance of Marquis Fengxing, a Space Ring, and an evolved intelligent lifeform that became Feng Ge 53. Before leaving Earth for the wider universe, he helped Ji Shan break through to Planetary Level with a Wood Bud Crystal and a breakthrough method 55 56.
Cosmic Cultivation and the Genius Battle
Ji Yun eventually enrolled in the prestigious Ganwu Dojo on Qiu Long Star, paying for fifty years of tuition upfront. He decided to focus on reaching Star Level within the next five years to better protect Earth and qualify for cosmic mercenary work. He entered the Decisive Battle Space of the Killing Field to spar with real martial artists, defeating several opponents with his domain and earning a higher rating 63.
After reaching Planetary Level Stage 9, Ji Yun sought life-and-death tempering to overcome the bottleneck to Star Level 67. He later became a Star Level martial artist and reunited with Luo Yue on Earth 69 74. His bloodline evolution further improved his law perception, gave him an embryonic Domain Lord-level Life Core, and brought him to Star Level 9 84.
In the Ganwu Universe Country’s Peak Genius Battle, Ji Yun became known as White Feather. He ranked among the foremost contestants, reached the sixth Trial Tower’s seventh floor, injured Bolan in battle, and ultimately placed second overall in the universe 96 99 100. His standing earned him entry into the Virtual Universe Company, where he recognized his weakness in soul defense and began studying ancient Earth texts concerning humanity, history, and heart cultivation 100.
For seven years, Ji Yun studied Kedi’s Diyuan secret technique, advancing his understanding of the Origin Law of Space significantly. He also studied the Universe Chaos Stele, making progress in both time and space laws. After fully comprehending the first nine pairs of black and white particles from Diyuan, he decided to challenge the Heavenly Bridge. Kings Linzhou and Piaoyu discussed his progress and potential; King Piaoyu predicted he would reach at least the third floor of the Heavenly Bridge 106.
His teacher, King Linzhou, gifted him six volumes of the Universe Stele Edict, a secret method of immense value possibly created by the City Lord of Chaos. Ji Yun studied the first volume, gaining deeper insights into time and space laws, and decided to focus on comprehending the second diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele. He also selected a new weapon to better wield the Origin Law of Space, demonstrating his continuous growth and humility 110.
Later Career
Ji Yun undertook dangerous missions for the Virtual Universe Company, including a mission on Yan God Race territory. He enslaved four Yan God Race tribesmen for intelligence, inherited Qingyang King’s legacy, and fought the peak World Lord Yan Xiu before escaping with Feng Ge’s aid 116 120 121. He later challenged the Heaven-Reaching Mountain, easily defeating the three gatekeepers at its base but failing at the mountainside; he subsequently began studying Qingyang King’s Void Crossing technique 123.
Ji Yun's strength continued to rise dramatically. He cleared the tenth through twelfth levels of the Heavenly Bridge before being defeated at the thirteenth 171. On Yanji Continent, he emerged as a Peak King Immortal, using Sword Release to injure a native Immortal and identifying himself as Xue Yun to Windblade King 178. During the Preparatory Heavenly King Trial, he merged with a wisp of pure origin and acquired the ability to manipulate time, freezing multiple Peak King opponents in the Martial Arena 183.
After returning to the Virtual Universe Company, Ji Yun fused seven Xueluo Crystals, becoming a Black Warrior with a tenfold life gene level 190. He later broke through to Universe Venerable, awakened the innate secret technique Piercing the Void, and was granted the title Qing Cang. The City Lord of Chaos assessed him as a six-star Universe Overlord and assigned him to preside over the next Genius Tournament 194. As a Time Venerable, he defended Earth's dignity by killing King Jieli for insulting Earthlings and resolved to strengthen Earth's Limit Dojo 195.

Abilities and Techniques
Law Comprehension: Time and Space
Ji Yun’s foundational mastery of the Origin Laws of Time and Space forms the bedrock of his combat prowess. His understanding of the Law of Time is exceptionally deep, allowing him to perceive and react to events before they unfold, while his grasp of the Law of Space enables him to manipulate his surroundings and control the battlefield. Over seven years of silent meditation on Kedi’s Diyuan secret technique, he fully comprehended the first nine pairs of black and white particles, advancing his comprehension of the Origin Law of Space to a level comparable to most geniuses who primarily study it 106. This dual-law proficiency makes him a rare talent, as most cultivators specialize in only one. His comprehension of the Law of Time was demonstrated when he easily defeated the martial artist Black Dagger, who had understood the Law of Light but was no match for Ji Yun’s temporal abilities 88. Fusion with Divine Blood doubled his fundamental law comprehension ability permanently, and a subsequent fusion with a Xueluo Crystal temporarily tripled it, allowing him to grasp laws at an accelerated rate 130.
After merging with a wisp of pure origin in the Heavenly King Trial, Ji Yun gained the capacity to directly manipulate time. He used this power to freeze the other King-level combatants in the Martial Arena, with the differing speeds at which they escaped determining the battle's outcome 183.
- Applications: Allows Ji Yun to predict enemy movements, accelerate or slow his own actions, and create localized spatial distortions to trap or evade opponents.
- Limitations: Requires intense concentration; prolonged use against multiple opponents can be draining. His understanding, while advanced for his level, is still far from the complete mastery of a World Lord.
- Notable Uses in Battle: Defeating Black Dagger by out-timing his Light-based attacks 88; countering the silver-clad guardian on the fourth floor of the Universe Heavenly Bridge, who specialized in Time and Space Laws 107; freezing multiple Peak Kings after merging with pure origin 183.
World of Feathers
The “World of Feathers” is a signature technique developed from King Piaoyu’s secret teachings, refined through years of dedicated practice. It manifests as a multitude of white feathers that can be launched as deadly projectiles or used to create a domain that limits enemy movement. The technique reached its peak form as “Hundred Feathers Blood Drift,” which Ji Yun successfully executed for the first time after three years of training against a hundred simultaneous enemies 93. In the arena melee, he killed his first opponent, Magic Hammer, with a single white feather, and his mere presence caused other geniuses to avoid him 91.
- Applications: Offensive – feathers can be fired individually or in volleys; defensive – the feather domain can obstruct incoming attacks; area control – the domain slows or traps enemies within it.
- Limitations: Effectiveness is tied to Ji Yun’s law comprehension; stronger opponents can overpower the domain. The technique demands precise mental control, and a lapse in focus can leave him vulnerable.
- Notable Uses in Battle: Defeating the silver-clad guardian on the fourth floor of the Universe Heavenly Bridge 107; instantly killing Magic Hammer in the arena melee 91; executing Hundred Feathers Blood Drift against a hundred foes simultaneously 93; destroying the energy cores of Mechanical Puppets through detonated White Feathers 96.
Spear Techniques: Fierce Wind, Phantom Wind, Scar, and Sunset
Ji Yun’s primary weapon is the spear, and he has developed multiple techniques built on the Law of Wind and later his law comprehension. The “Fierce Wind” technique, learned from a manual early in his cultivation, allowed him to increase his power to 14% of his original strength after mastering its first layer 10. His “Phantom Wind” technique was created after intensive training in an Ancient Civilization Gravity Room, achieving a high standard of speed and illusory movements 47. His strongest move is “Scar,” a devastating strike that integrates his understanding of time and space; he used it to defeat the second-layer opponent on the Universe Heavenly Bridge 104. His spear style also bears traces of Luo Feng’s influence, as noted by Marquis God Spear 98.
During his battle against Yan Xiu, Ji Yun used both Sunset and Scar in succession to injure the peak World Lord and create an opening for escape 121.
- Applications: Fierce Wind provides raw power amplification; Phantom Wind adds speed and deception; Scar delivers a concentrated, almost unavoidable attack; Sunset supplements his law-based killing power.
- Limitations: Each technique requires specific conditions to be fully effective; Scar is a finishing move that leaves him briefly open. The techniques are less effective against opponents with superior law comprehension.
- Notable Uses in Battle: Using Scar to overcome the second-layer Heavenly Bridge opponent 104; showcasing Phantom Wind during his top-20 match against Lancelot, impressing spectators 98; using Sunset and Scar against Yan Xiu 121.
Sword Techniques: Sword Release
Although initially a dedicated spear wielder, Ji Yun later demonstrated formidable swordsmanship. By the time he challenged the tenth through twelfth levels of the Heavenly Bridge, he defeated the guardians through sword skills and unique techniques 171. As a Peak King, he used Sword Release to injure a native Immortal on Yanji Continent 178.
- Applications: High-speed close combat; concentrated law-infused killing strikes; combat against Immortal-level opponents.
- Limitations: His sword path developed later than his spear path and relies heavily on his profound Time and Space Law foundation.
- Notable Uses in Battle: Passing the tenth through twelfth Heavenly Bridge levels 171; injuring a native Immortal on Yanji Continent 178.
Secret Techniques: Wind Walk, Void Crossing, Diyuan, and Piercing the Void
Ji Yun has studied several high-level secret techniques that enhance his mobility, spatial comprehension, and overall survivability. The “Wind Walk” secret art, inherited from Marquis Fengxing’s manuals, deepens his connection to the Law of Wind and accelerates his movements 54. “Void Crossing,” given by Qingyang King, is a spatial technique that enables near-instantaneous travel across significant distances; Ji Yun began studying it after failing the Universe Heavenly Bridge mountainside trial 123. The “Diyuan” secret technique, from Kedi, focuses on the Origin Law of Space, and after seven years of study Ji Yun fully comprehended its first nine pairs of black and white particles 106.
Upon reaching Universe Venerable, Ji Yun awakened Piercing the Void, an innate secret technique granted as compensation by the Primal Universe in relation to the Original Ancestor's actions 194.
- Applications: Wind Walk for combat speed and evasion; Void Crossing for long-distance travel and tactical repositioning; Diyuan for spatial perception and manipulation; Piercing the Void for Venerable-level spatial offense and mobility.
- Limitations: Wind Walk consumes significant energy; Void Crossing requires accurate spatial coordinates and a moment of concentration; Diyuan’s deeper levels remain unmastered.
- Notable Uses in Battle: Using Wind Walk to outmaneuver opponents in the arena melee 91; applying Void Crossing to escape the battlefield after being injured by Yan Xiu 121; leveraging Diyuan comprehension to counter Yan Xiu’s World Projection with his Simulated World 120.
Simulated World
The “Simulated World” is a powerful technique that creates a mental domain overlapping with reality, allowing Ji Yun to impose his will on the environment and confuse opponents. It functions similarly to a World Projection but is derived from his law comprehension and mental strength. He used it to counter Yan Xiu’s World Projection during their battle, neutralizing the Yan God Race World Lord’s spatial advantage 120.
- Applications: Overwrites enemy sensory perceptions; can trap opponents in a false reality; reduces the effectiveness of hostile domain abilities.
- Limitations: Requires intense mental focus; if Ji Yun’s willpower wavers, the Simulated World can collapse. Not effective against beings with vastly superior will or those immune to mental interference.
- Notable Uses in Battle: Countering Yan Xiu’s World Projection, allowing Ji Yun to injure the World Lord and escape 120.
Mental Fortitude and Illusion Resistance
Ji Yun’s willpower is a crucial component of his abilities, especially against illusion-based attacks. He demonstrated this by easily defeating the three guardians at the foot of the Universe Heavenly Bridge, one of which was an illusion-casting snake-woman 123. However, his mental resilience was tested and found lacking when he fell to an illusion from a Zerg Mother Nest’s Green Mantises in the sixth trial tower 96. Recognizing this weakness, he decided to immerse himself in studying ancient texts to fortify his will 96. Later, he showed improved resistance by overcoming the illusions of the third-floor Heavenly Bridge guardian 107.
Ji Yun’s long-term refinement of the Soul Pupil later enabled him to withstand a Universe Master’s Law Avatar long enough to be rescued, earning acknowledgment for his unwavering will at Universe Level 118.
- Applications: Resisting mental attacks; maintaining focus during prolonged battles; enabling the use of techniques like Simulated World.
- Limitations: Can be overwhelmed by concentrated illusion attacks from multiple sources or by expert Psychic Master illusionists. Requires continuous training.
- Notable Uses in Battle: Defeating the snake-woman guardian at the bridge foot without being ensnared 123; failing against the Zerg Mother Nest’s illusions but using that experience to motivate further training 96; enduring a Universe Master’s Law Avatar through the Soul Pupil 118.
Divine Blood and Xueluo Crystal Enhancement
These are temporary and permanent augmentation methods rather than combat techniques, but they directly amplify Ji Yun’s law comprehension ability and thus his overall power. Divine Blood, obtained from a Miasma Vortex, permanently doubled his fundamental law comprehension ability 130. A Xueluo Crystal, also from the same vortex, temporarily tripled this ability for a period 130. Both enhancements allow him to grasp higher-level laws more quickly and execute techniques with greater precision.
Ji Yun later fused seven Xueluo Crystals, becoming a Black Warrior and permanently raising his life gene level to tenfold 190.
- Applications: Accelerated cultivation; deeper understanding of time and space laws; increased effectiveness of all law-based techniques; enhancement of life gene level.
- Limitations: The Xueluo Crystal’s temporary comprehension effect must be reobtained; the Divine Blood fusion was a one-time event. Over-reliance could stunt natural growth if not balanced with personal insight.
- Notable Uses in Battle: Not directly used in a fight but the permanent boost from Divine Blood was the foundation for his rapid progress on the Universe Heavenly Bridge after the fusion 130; attaining tenfold life gene level through seven Xueluo Crystals 190.
Strategic Adaptability and Battle Intelligence
Ji Yun’s combat effectiveness is not solely due to his techniques; his strategic thinking and ability to adapt rapidly to different enemies are key. In the Preliminary Selection, he waited for stronger opponents to accumulate points before targeting them, conserving his strength 88. Against the Starry Sky Behemoths ‘Cang’ on the sixth trial tower floor, he exploited their size disadvantage to defeat them despite their power 96. He also demonstrated patience, such as when he faced 100 Mechanical Puppets, using speed and strategy rather than brute force 96.
- Applications: Choosing when and where to engage; targeting weaknesses; conserving energy for key fights; learning opponent patterns mid-battle.
- Limitations: Requires calm analysis under pressure; sometimes overconfidence leads to underestimating foes, as with the Zerg Mother Nest.
- Notable Uses in Battle: Accumulating points without revealing his strength in the Preliminary Selection 88; defeating ten Starry Sky Behemoths by using their size against them 96; outmaneuvering Yan Xiu by injuring him and escaping despite being a lower cultivation level 121.

Major Battles
Mountain-Quaking Whale
Ji Yun traveled to the Jinmen War Base and decided to challenge a King Rank monster in Bohai Bay. He engaged the Mountain-Quaking Whale in a fierce battle, demonstrating his growth as a warrior and testing his understanding of his Domain, but ultimately failed to kill the creature. The battle highlighted Ji Yun's increasing power and ambition, yet also revealed the gap between his current strength and the highest-tier monsters.
- Ji Yun voluntarily challenged a King Rank monster, showing his determination to push his limits.
- The fight showcased Ji Yun's Domain manipulation and combat skills against a vastly superior foe.
- He was unable to secure a kill, indicating that even with his progress, he was not yet on par with King Rank monsters 41.
Xia Jiang
Ji Yun entered Monster Town alone, killing monsters along the way, and set up a challenge for Xia Jiang at the town center. When Xia Jiang arrived, Ji Yun easily defeated him in a spar, demonstrating his Intermediate Warrior-level stats and superior spear technique. The battle served as a public display of Ji Yun’s talent, attracting the attention of faction leaders like Luo Hong and the effeminate man, who discussed poaching him.
- Ji Yun entered Monster Town unaccompanied, establishing his confidence and combat ability.
- The spar ended quickly, with Ji Yun’s skill vastly outclassing Xia Jiang’s arrogance.
- Faction directors observed the match, sparking competition over recruiting Ji Yun 6.
Magic Hammer
During the arena battle in the Virtual Universe, Ji Yun was placed in the first group on the fourth day. His first opponent was Magic Hammer, an Anjialuo clansman. Ji Yun killed him instantly with a single white feather, stunning onlookers. After that, no other genius dared to challenge Ji Yun, and he remained untouched throughout the melee. This battle cemented Ji Yun’s reputation as a terrifying powerhouse and marked him as a certainty for the Virtual Universe Company’s core layer.
- Ji Yun dispatched Magic Hammer with one white feather, demonstrating overwhelming strength.
- The other survivors kept their distance, too afraid to engage him.
- Immortal Kunshaluo later confirmed that Ji Yun and Rong Jun were highly regarded by their Nation Lord 91.
Double-Headed Black-Line Snake
