Background / History

Long Xiaoyao rescued the reincarnated Long Yaochen from a soul beast and, recognizing that the child was extraordinary, raised him with meticulous care for six years. He came to regard Yaochen as his own son. 1

After Yaochen's Radiant Sacred Dragon mutated into the near-divine Eternal Blazing Sun Holy Dragon, its overflowing divinity began erasing his memories and humanity. Long Xiaoyao repeatedly searched for a compatible flame to stabilize him; an earlier attempt involving Ye Xishui's Bright Phoenix fire nearly caused Yaochen's divinity to consume him. 1 6

When Yaochen's condition became critical, Long Xiaoyao forcibly suppressed the divine outbreak with his domain and identified Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix as the key to repairing Yaochen's Soul Core. 1 3

Appearance

Long Xiaoyao is an elderly man usually dressed in thin black robes. His presence is marked by dense darkness and the manifestation of a colossal black dragon. 1 43

• Black-robed attire 1 43 54
• Black dragon phantom and ink-black Soul Power 1 43
• Nine-ring configuration: two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red soul rings 43
• His Martial Soul Avatar merges him with a Dark Sacred Dragon. 43

Personality

Long Xiaoyao is blunt, domineering, and notoriously volatile; Mu En explicitly notes that his temper has not softened with time. 2 He treats most opposition with contempt, whether facing Shrek elders, the Ice Empress, or the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. 2 44 55

His aggression is tempered by exceptional care for Long Yaochen. He precisely controls his overwhelming power rather than recklessly suppressing Yaochen's divinity, knowing that even a minor mistake could kill his disciple. 1 He is similarly cautious when judging threats beyond his ability to resolve safely, refusing to underestimate the Ice Empress and Snow Empress on their home ground. 42

Abilities & Skills

Limit Douluo Cultivation

Long Xiaoyao is a ninety-ninth-rank Limit Douluo, placing him at the pinnacle of soul master cultivation. 1

• His pressure alone overwhelms Shrek's Inner Court disciples and forces a rank-95 Super Douluo, Yan Shaozhe, to defend himself with a Martial Soul Avatar. 2
• A casual black dragon claw shattered Yan Shaozhe's barrier and sent him crashing into Sea God Island. 2
• He crossed more than half the continent with Long Yaochen in a single day before entering the Far North. 43

Dark Sacred Dragon

Long Xiaoyao's Martial Soul is the Dark Sacred Dragon, an ancient dragon manifestation wielding overwhelming darkness and dragon might. 43

• His Martial Soul Avatar is activated through his seventh soul ring, merging his body with the Dark Sacred Dragon. 43
• The Avatar's release darkens the Far North's sky and makes soul beasts across the core zone prostrate themselves. 43
• He can form massive black dragon claws and use them for offense, restraint, or terrain manipulation. 2 43

Silent Darkness Domain

Long Xiaoyao's strongest documented domain is the Silent Darkness Domain. 1

• It suppressed the divine light of Yaochen's martial soul and restored his human emotions during a near-fatal outbreak. 1
• Long Xiaoyao can compress the domain into a dark barrier to shield Yaochen from the Ice Empress's Ultimate Ice attacks. 44
• He invoked the domain against the Ice Empress after provoking her into leaving concealment. 44

Dark Dragon Might

His dragon might functions as a wide-area suppression force.

• It immobilized a forty-thousand-year Earth King so completely that its attacking tail hook could not move. 52
• It tore open a path through the Jade Phosphorus Poisonous Miasma and suppressed the poison cloud produced by the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers. 54
• It subdued the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, forcing the Aromatic Silk Beauty to negotiate. 55

Equipment / Items

• Storage Soul Tool — Used to carry supplies, including protective gear for Long Yaochen. 43
• Silver-white thermal light armor — A warm protective garment he gave Long Yaochen for the Far North; Long Xiaoyao admits he took it from a junior. 43

Relationships

• Long Yaochen — Master, guardian, and surrogate father. Long Xiaoyao saved him as a child, protects him relentlessly, and calls him his beloved disciple. 1 42 64
• Mu En — Long-standing rival and old acquaintance. Their conflict over Ma Xiaotao ends in an agreement to keep Yaochen at Shrek as an exchange student. 2 4 47
• Ma Xiaotao — Chosen by Long Xiaoyao as the person capable of stabilizing Yaochen's defective martial soul; he approves of her betrothal to his disciple. 1 4
• Ice Empress — Initially confronted as an enemy in the Far North, then allowed to negotiate with Yaochen after Long Xiaoyao demonstrated his ability to protect his disciple. 43 44 45 46
• Yan Shaozhe — Shrek's Martial Soul Department dean, whom Long Xiaoyao casually defeated when he obstructed his demand to see Ma Xiaotao. 2
• Aromatic Silk Beauty — Immortal-herb guardian intimidated into providing materials after Long Xiaoyao threatened to destroy the entire valley. 55

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Intervention

Long Xiaoyao arrives at Sea God Pavilion while Yaochen's life is endangered by divine backlash. He defeats Yan Shaozhe, demands Ma Xiaotao's presence, and faces Mu En in a standoff between Limit Douluos. 1 2

After explaining that Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire is necessary to mend Yaochen's Soul Core, he accepts Mu En's proposal that Yaochen remain at Shrek as an exchange student while cultivating his relationship with Ma Xiaotao. 3 4

Far North Expedition

Long Xiaoyao accompanies Yaochen into the Far North to seek the Ice Empress. He enters the core region under his Martial Soul Avatar, calls the Ice Empress out directly, and shields Yaochen when she attacks. 42 43 44

Although wary of the risks posed by both the Ice Empress and the absent Snow Empress, he allows Yaochen to present his God Creation Plan after confirming that he can ensure their retreat if necessary. 42 43 45

Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well

Long Xiaoyao captures an Earth King for Yaochen, escorts the group through the poisonous defenses of the Sunset Forest, and uses his dragon might to open a path to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. 52 54

When the immortal herbs refuse Yaochen's demands, Long Xiaoyao suppresses the valley and forces the Aromatic Silk Beauty to surrender the materials it can provide. 55 He then guards Yaochen's transformation for half a month, preventing even fallen leaves from approaching the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. 64
