Background

Er Ming is a Titan Giant Ape and one of the two great emperors of the Star Dou Forest alongside Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python. He shares a deep bond with Xiao Wu and respects her choice to transform into a human despite the danger of rebuilding her cultivation from infancy. 2

When he learns that Xiao Wu has entered Martial Soul City and may be exposed as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Er Ming becomes desperate to save her. He forces his way through Jiang Li's Mind-Confusing Array—the first being to reach the hidden courtyard in one hundred thousand years—and begs Jiang Li to intervene for Xiao Wu's sake. 2

After revealing that Xiao Wu is Jiang Li and Xiao Rou's daughter, Er Ming is entrusted with the rescue instead of receiving Jiang Li's direct intervention. Jiang Li grants him the Thunderlight technique and reconstructs his body with the Demon Emperor Bone, turning him into a winged, lightning-wielding combatant. 3 4 5

Appearance

Er Ming is an enormous, black-furred Titan Giant Ape with arms thick enough to resemble hills and a body built for overwhelming physical force. Following Jiang Li's modification, his physique becomes leaner and dark-gold luster appears beneath his skin. 5

• Massive arms and dense black fur, with each strand described as steel-needle-like. 13
• Broad Dark Gold Bone Wings extending from his back. 5
• Lightning crackles between his fingers and flows across his wings when he fights. 5 16
• Can enlarge his already colossal body further during battle. 16 30

Personality

Er Ming is fiercely loyal, especially toward Xiao Wu. His first response to her danger is to seek help from the forbidden existence in the Star Dou Forest, despite not knowing whether Jiang Li will answer his plea. 2

He is initially awestruck and intimidated by Jiang Li's power, but Jiang Li's trust gives him confidence to face opponents he once considered untouchable. 4 14 Despite his new strength, he remains practical: after securing Xiao Wu during the first battle in Martial Soul City, he orders the beast army to retreat rather than risk being trapped in a prolonged war. 17

Abilities & Skills

Titan Giant Ape Physiology

Er Ming's natural physical strength is exceptional even among Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

• A single native punch is said to be capable of collapsing mountains and shattering rocks. 2
• His direct strikes instantly defeat two attacking Title Douluo elders after emerging in Martial Soul City. 14
• He can clash head-on with level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo, though he acknowledges that he cannot decisively defeat him. 16 17
• His raw power is less effective against opponents whose speed and experience let them avoid his attacks, as shown against Qian Daoliu. 33 34

Thunderlight Palm / Thunderlight Fist

A thunder-based technique bestowed by Jiang Li. It channels heavenly lightning into Er Ming's palm or fist.

• Can summon thunderclouds and lightning over a vast area before concentrating the force into a strike. 4
• Can be used at range, allowing lightning to detonate among distant enemies. 4
• One Thunderlight strike overwhelms Ghost Douluo's physical immunity, as the lightning element counters his Ghost Martial Soul. 15 31
• At full output, its lightning turns purple-gold and can contend with Golden Crocodile Douluo's ninth soul skill, Golden Crocodile God-Slaying Tail. 32
• It can neutralize a full-force Holy Light palm strike from Qian Daoliu, though Er Ming suffers accumulating injuries in the exchange. 33

Demon Emperor Bone

Er Ming's skeleton was replaced with the refined remains of an Abyssal Demon Emperor by Jiang Li. 4 5

• Provides extreme durability; it is stated to withstand a full-force strike from a Limit Douluo. 4
• Enhances his affinity for slaughter aura, pain tolerance, and combat instincts. 4
• Contains an Abyssal power that resists and reflects part of Qian Daoliu's Holy Light Judgment. 33 35
• Its surface can still be scorched and cracked under Qian Daoliu's sustained attacks. 33

Dark Gold Bone Wings

The Demon Emperor Bone gives the normally terrestrial Titan Giant Ape the ability to fly.

• Allows him to pursue the fleeing Ghost Douluo through the air. 14 15
• The wings carry destructive lightning and contribute to his combat mobility. 16 17
• Their existence and unusual power lead Martial Soul Hall to suspect that an unknown force exists within the Star Dou Forest. 33 35

Equipment / Items

• Demon Emperor Bone — Abyssal Demon Emperor remains refined and implanted by Jiang Li; the source of Er Ming's wings, enhanced body, and Abyssal attributes. 4 5
• Super Evolution Stone — Given to Xiao Wu to assist Er Ming in potentially completing a Beast Tamer–linked Super Evolution; the provided events do not confirm that the evolution is completed. 26

Relationships

• Xiao Wu — His longtime friend and “Big Sister Xiao Wu.” He risks his life to rescue her from Martial Soul City and acts as her principal protector. 2 14 17
• Da Ming — Fellow Star Dou Forest emperor and ally; both respected Xiao Wu's decision to become human and sought to support her from the forest. 2
• Jiang Li — Xiao Wu's father and Er Ming's benefactor. Jiang Li entrusts Xiao Wu's rescue to him, grants him the Thunderlight technique, and implants the Demon Emperor Bone. 3 4 5
• Golden Light Eagle — Teammate in the assaults on Martial Soul Hall. The eagle's Kunpeng Method and Ultimate Speed allow the group to escape Qian Daoliu. 25 26 34
• Golden Crocodile Douluo — Major opponent. Er Ming fights him to a standstill during the first raid and grows stronger before their later rematch. 16 17 32
• Qian Daoliu — Limit Douluo opponent whose superior speed and experience force Er Ming to withdraw with Xiao Wu and the Golden Light Eagle. 33 34

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Plea for Xiao Wu's rescue — Reaches Jiang Li's hidden courtyard to ask for help after learning that Xiao Wu is endangered in Martial Soul City. 2
• Jiang Li's enhancement — Receives the Thunderlight technique and Demon Emperor Bone so that he can personally retrieve Xiao Wu. 4 5
• First Martial Soul City rescue — Emerges through a spatial rift, defeats multiple Title Douluo, protects Xiao Wu, battles Golden Crocodile Douluo, and retreats with the beast tide after completing the rescue. 13 14 17 18
• Return to Martial Soul Hall — Joins Xiao Wu and the Golden Light Eagle in a second attack, defeats and terrorizes Yue Guan and Gui Mei, then confronts Golden Crocodile Douluo again. 28 30 31 32
• Battle with Qian Daoliu and escape — Resists Qian Daoliu's Holy Light long enough for the Golden Light Eagle to carry the group away using Ultimate Speed. 33 34
