Background and History

Xue Hen, originally a prince of the Balaque Kingdom, was born to Emperor Kundera and Ning Pianpian. Abandoned by his father after five years, he awakened his martial soul and quickly rose to become one of the most formidable soul masters on the continent. His life was defined by a relentless pursuit of revenge against those who wronged him, a complex relationship with his biological family, and an unwavering independence from the major powers of the era.

• Origin and Awakening: Xue Hen was abandoned by his father, Emperor Kundera, at a young age. He later awakened the Emerald Swan martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power, which was initially dismissed as weak before its true potential was revealed. He was discovered to have Twin Martial Souls, including a possible mutation of the legendary Royal Power Sword 2. He absorbed the soul ring of a four-hundred-year-old Armor-Piercing Golden Rhino, gaining his first soul skill, Armor-Piercing 2.

• Rapid Progression and Power: After obtaining his first two soul rings and the skill 'Eight-Direction Sword Lock', Xue Hen adopted the identity 'Jian Hen' and began competing in soul fights. Ten years later he became a level 73 Soul Saint, and by the age of 20 he had reached the Title Douluo level with two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast soul rings. He defeated a Hundred-Thousand-Year Life Giant Whale in a single strike and later confronted and absorbed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Nirvana Black Tortoise, demonstrating his dominance 3 4 5.

• Confrontation with the Balaque Royal Family: Xue Hen, now revealed as Jian Hen, returned to Balaque's royal palace and confronted Kundera, Ning Pianpian, and Xue Tian. He killed Xue Tian and Ning Pianpian, but spared Kundera due to the five years the emperor had spent raising him. This act of partial mercy contrasted with his otherwise relentless vengeance 7. Later, he killed his half-brother Xue Tian again after Qian Renxue had brought him to Xue Hen, showing no remorse or sentimentality 32. His first encounter with Ning Pianpian after his transformation involved activating his Sun Martial Soul and hundred-thousand-year soul ring, then killing her with Sun True Fire 30. Kundera was subsequently imprisoned within the Balaque palace rather than deposed; when Mighty Lion Douluo later used him as a hostage, Xue Hen personally killed Kundera rather than yield 171.

• Interaction with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family: Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire recognized Xue Hen's potential and considered adopting him, attempting to lure him out by opening the Imperial Ancestral Temple and punishing Prince Xue Beng. Xue Ye addressed him as "Hen'er," but Xue Hen remained aloof and indifferent 24 7. Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, attempted to establish a friendly relationship with Xue Hen, bringing him sweets and trying to persuade him to return to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Xue Hen remained cold and unmoved, focused on his personal path 31 32. Although he continued to reject Xue Ye's emotional manipulation, Xue Hen later healed the emperor with Emerald Recovery after Xue Ye restored Queen Wang's status and enshrined her spirit tablet in the Imperial Ancestral Temple 88 89.

• Confrontations with Major Powers: Xue Hen's immense power drew the attention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which sent Bone Douluo Gu Rong to confront him on behalf of Ning Pianpian. Xue Hen pressured Gu Rong with his power, forcing a cautious standoff 11. Later, when Tang Hao sought him to obtain the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Xue Hen confronted and defeated Tang Hao, Qian Renxue, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo, handing them over to the Judicial Office of Heaven Dou City. This demonstrated his disdain for those who consort with soul beasts and his commitment to justice 63. He later defeated Guangling Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Daoliu, and the Spirit Hall worshippers, decisively breaking the Worship Hall's military strength 171 173.

• Acquisition of Immortal Herbs: Seizing the opportunity provided by Dugu Bo's absence, Xue Hen visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest. The well was formed from the remains of two ancient dragon kings and nurtured various immortal herbs. Xue Hen harvested mature herbs, leaving seeds behind, and consumed the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, then spent seven days tempering his body in the well 52 53. He later refined the Aromatic Silk Beauty, obtaining complete poison immunity and Grass Suppression while breaking through to level 98 57.

• Political Consolidation: After returning to Balaque, Xue Hen consolidated control over the royal palace and its armed forces. He recruited exceptional soul masters into the Royal Palace Guard, imposed strict cultivation standards, and used both rewards and coercion to secure Tu Shan Yue's allegiance 108 114. He accepted Martial Soul Hall's armistice proposal for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament while maintaining military vigilance against the Spirit Hall Empire 114.

• Motivations: Xue Hen's primary motivation was revenge against his mother Ning Pianpian and half-brother Xue Tian for their past wrongs. He also sought to complete his character's authenticity, maintain independence from both the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and Spirit Hall, and uphold a sense of justice by eliminating those who consorted with soul beasts. He showed no interest in family ties or political alliances, instead pursuing his own path of strength and self-reliance 30 32 63. As his power grew, he also pursued the consolidation of Balaque and the defeat of Spirit Hall, ultimately ordering a military campaign against it after capturing Qian Daoliu and the worshippers 173.

Abilities and Skills

Imperial Power Sword (Royal Power Sword)

Xue Hen’s Imperial Power Sword, a mutated variant of the legendary Royal Power Sword, serves as his primary attacking martial soul. From its earliest soul ring, the sword demonstrated overwhelming offensive capability.

• Armor-Piercing (First Soul Skill): Gained from a four-hundred-year-old Armor-Piercing Golden Rhino, this skill allows Xue Hen to concentrate his soul power into a single, piercing strike capable of breaching formidable defenses 2. Its application lies in single-target elimination against heavily armored foes or soul beasts with thick hides.
• Eight-Direction Sword Lock (Second Soul Skill): A control-type skill obtained from the more than seven-hundred-year Eight-Spear Spider Emperor, which seals an enemy's movement and surrounding space with eight sword auras. The sword auras can be detonated at any time 3.
• Demon Sweeper (Fourth Soul Skill): A powerful offensive technique used against Mighty Lion Douluo after Kundera was taken hostage. Xue Hen used it to severely injure the enemy immediately after killing Kundera 171.
• Sword Settles Mountains and Rivers (Sixth Soul Skill): A wide-area, high-destructive soul skill that unleashes a torrent of sword energy, capable of leveling terrain and devastating multiple enemies at once 102. Xue Hen employed this skill to pursue and injure Bibi Dong after she attempted to flee their duel 102.
• Human Emperor True Body – Judgment (Seventh Soul Skill): Xue Hen’s Martial Soul True Body, which amplifies his overall power and grants the domain-like ability “Judgment” 5. When activated, his sword emanates an oppressive pressure that can crush weaker opponents outright; he used it to pin down and defeat the Hundred-Thousand-Year Nirvana Black Tortoise 5.
• Blazing Sun: Heart of the Earth (Soul Ring Skill from Titan Giant Ape): Obtained through the sacrificial offering of the Titan Giant Ape, this skill channels the earth’s core energy into a blazing, sun-like eruption 137. It delivers immense area damage and can be used to clear large battlefields.
• Grasp of the Sun and Titan Sun Cannon (Soul Bone Skills from Titan Giant Ape): Two complementary abilities from the soul bone gifted by the Titan Giant Ape. Grasp of the Sun allows Xue Hen to seize and compress solar energy into a controlled orb, while Titan Sun Cannon fires that orb with devastating concussive force 137. These skills provide both mid-range control and long-range bombardment options.

Emerald Swan Martial Soul

Xue Hen’s second martial soul, the Emerald Swan, is primarily a support and healing-oriented soul. Despite being initially dismissed as weak, its true potential emerged after Xue Hen absorbed a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring from the Life Giant Whale 2 4.

• Emerald Recovery (First Soul Skill): A healing skill that rapidly regenerates the wounds of allies within a certain range 5. The green light emitted by the Emerald Swan accelerates tissue repair and can stabilize life-threatening injuries. Xue Hen used this on wounded civilians after the battle between Tang Hao and the Spirit Hall elders 61. He later used it to heal Emperor Xue Ye and remove the chronic poison Qian Renxue had placed in the emperor's body 88.
• Life Diversion (Second Soul Skill): A unique transfer-type ability that allows Xue Hen to divert his own vitality or the life force of one target to heal another 5. This skill can be used to save an ally by sacrificing the user’s own life energy, though the cost is significant if applied recklessly.
• Life Domain (Innate Domain from Hundred-Thousand-Year Ring): An innate domain that manifests as a field of vibrant, green energy 4. Within this domain, all plant life flourishes, and the healing effects of Xue Hen’s Emerald Swan skills are greatly amplified. Additionally, the domain passively drains the life force of hostile enemies, transferring it to Xue Hen and his allies, making it a potent area-control tool.
• Peak-Condition Recovery: Xue Hen can use the Emerald Swan to restore himself to peak condition during battle, allowing him to maintain combat effectiveness after enduring major confrontations 171.

Self-Created Soul Skills

Xue Hen developed original abilities that surpass the power of standard soul skills, even rivaling divine skills in effectiveness.

• Sword Separates the World: A self-created soul skill that cleaves the very space around an opponent, creating an impassable rift 102. The attack is not merely physical; it sunders the enemy’s soul power flow and their connection to the world, making it nearly impossible to dodge or counter. Xue Hen used this to instantly bypass Bibi Dong’s God Skill “Nether Rakshasa” and badly wound her 102.
• Nine Yin Manual (Complete): Initially manifested as Volume One, the Nine Yin Manual is Xue Hen’s self-created cultivation method for soul power refinement, body strengthening, breathing, and meridian development 108. By his Peerless Douluo stage, he possessed the complete manual 168. He used the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter to accelerate Zhu Zhuqing’s cultivation and intended to employ the manual as a foundation for building his own force 108 114.

Resurrection-Type Soul Skill

• Nirvana Black Tortoise Resurrection: After absorbing the soul ring of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Nirvana Black Tortoise, Xue Hen gained a resurrection-type soul skill 6. This ability allows him to restore a recently deceased being to life, provided the body is relatively intact and the user’s soul power reserves are sufficient. The skill has immense potential cost and cooldown, and its existence sparked desperate hope among many characters who wish to revive fallen loved ones 6.

Other Abilities and Enhancements

Beyond his soul skills, Xue Hen possesses numerous supplementary abilities that contribute to his overwhelming combat strength.

• Sword Pressure Mastery: Xue Hen can project his sword intent as pure pressure, using it as a weapon without expending soul skills. He injured Dugu Yan severely and severed her vital meridians using only this pressure, displaying the refined control and density of his soul power 23.
• Body Tempering via Immortal Herbs: After consuming the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and tempering his body for seven days in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xue Hen’s physical defense, soul power storage capacity, and resistance to extreme temperatures were dramatically enhanced 53. This body forging grants him the toughness to withstand blows that would cripple ordinary Title Douluo.
• Poison, Flame, and Ice Resistance: The medicinal effects of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Aromatic Silk Beauty gave Xue Hen complete immunity to poisons, as well as resistance or immunity to extreme fire and ice while fused with Yuan Qi 56 57.
• Persona Switching: Through his Make-Believe-to-Reality System, Xue Hen can switch between his identities as Xue Hen and Yuan Qi. This permits him to change appearance, martial soul, and available soul power during a conflict, potentially confronting an already-exhausted enemy in the peak state of a separate persona 138.

Relationships

Xue Hen’s relationships are defined by his pursuit of power, his past grievances, and the political machinations of the Heaven Dou Empire and other major factions. He maintains a cold, calculative distance from most, using offers of alliance or kinship only as tools to further his own goals.

• Emperor Xue Ye: As his imperial uncle and the ruler of Heaven Dou, Emperor Xue Ye is eager to win Xue Hen over to strengthen the imperial family against the Spirit Hall. He addresses Xue Hen affectionately as “Hen’er,” opens the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and even considers adopting him 24 26 7. Xue Hen, however, remains aloof and disdainful, hiding his true feelings and only playing along to increase his character’s reality rate 24 26. Their interactions are brief and tense, with Xue Ye’s desperation clashing with Xue Hen’s indifference 26 43. Xue Hen later healed Xue Ye and removed his chronic poison, primarily acknowledging Xue Ye's restoration of Queen Wang's honor rather than accepting the emperor's familial claims 88 89.
• Qian Renxue (Xue Qinghe): Disguised as the crown prince Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue initially attempts to establish a friendly relationship with Xue Hen after learning he is in Heaven Dou City. She brings him sweets, attempts to appeal to family ties, and even arranges for Xue Tian to be brought to him 31 32. Xue Hen remains unmoved, showing no hostility but also no warmth; he kills Xue Tian without hesitation in front of her 32. Qian Renxue recalls their past with excitement and shyness, but Xue Hen treats her with polite distance 31 32 43. Later, she discusses plans to depose Bibi Dong and shows concern for Xue Hen’s whereabouts, but their relationship is marked by mutual wariness and political calculation 43 44. As Yuan Qi, Xue Hen manipulated Qian Renxue's belief in their past connection and agreed to assist her stated ambition of unifying the continent 87.
• Xue Beng: Xue Hen’s younger cousin initially pretended to be a profligate to protect himself from his ambitious brother Xue Qinghe. With Prince Xue Xing’s guidance, Xue Beng seeks to reconcile with Xue Hen, bringing gifts and showing humility 45 46. Their interactions are tense and strained; Xue Hen shows little interest in reconciliation but does consider supporting Xue Beng as a means to bring down Qian Renxue 46. Xue Beng’s sincerity and efforts gradually form a growing bond, as he seeks out Xue Hen’s company and knowledge 50. Xue Beng later assisted while Xue Hen healed Emperor Xue Ye and continued to report political developments to him 88 89.
• Prince Xue Xing: The elderly prince is a wise and strategic figure who works to bring Xue Hen back into the imperial family. He guides Xue Beng in how to approach Xue Hen, emphasizing sincerity, and visits Xue Hen alongside his nephew to build a relationship 44 45. Xue Hen remains polite but distant, showing no eagerness to align with the imperial family 45. Prince Xue Xing also discusses with Emperor Xue Ye the suppression of the Spirit Hall and the importance of Xue Hen’s return 43 50. Xue Hen strongly rejected Xue Xing's use of the intimate address “Hen’er,” throwing Tang Hao at him as a warning 64.
• Ning Rongrong: After Ning Fengzhi’s letter offering his daughter as a disciple, Xue Hen decides to make her his concubine, driven by her family lineage and Martial Soul 122 135. He later clarifies this status firmly, telling her not to treat him as her husband and asserting his authority. Ning Rongrong initially tries to propose strategic plans but becomes flustered and emotional when Xue Hen emphasizes her subordinate role 135. Their relationship is based on power imbalance, with Xue Hen using her for his own ends.
• Ning Fengzhi: The leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi seeks to make amends with Xue Hen after the death of Ning Pianpian (Xue Hen’s mother). He offers his daughter as a disciple and later sends a woman from the sect to become Xue Hen’s concubine to resolve their grievances 122 110. Xue Hen’s resentment toward the Ning Family underpins this relationship; he acknowledges Ning Fengzhi’s political maneuvering but plans to use Ning Rongrong for his own purposes 122.
• Dugu Bo: Poison Douluo initially plans to avenge Yan Yan by gathering the Clear Sky Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect against Xue Hen 28 24. However, he later departs from the Heaven Dou Empire after being manipulated by Ning Fengzhi, who decides to drive him away to please Emperor Xue Ye and Xue Hen 110. Xue Hen shows no direct interaction with Dugu Bo; the relationship is one of enmity and eventual abandonment by his own allies 50 110.
• Bibi Dong: Their first meeting occurs in Haagen-Dazs when Xue Hen, now at level ninety-nine, attacks the royal palace to confront her. He calls her Qian Renxue’s mother, which enrages Bibi Dong. Their encounter is marked by hostility, a verbal clash, and a battle of words before physical conflict 138. Xue Hen is determined to stop her plans, while Bibi Dong is furious at his interference.
• Kundera (father): Xue Hen’s biological father, the king of Balaque. When Xue Hen (as Jian Hen) returns to the palace, he kills Xue Tian and Ning Pianpian but spares Kundera because of the five years Kundera spent raising him 7. This moment initially shows Xue Hen’s capacity for mercy amidst his revenge. After Kundera was imprisoned in the palace, Mighty Lion Douluo seized him as a hostage; Xue Hen remained unmoved, killed Kundera himself, and then attacked the hostage-taker 171.
• Xue Tian (half-brother): Xue Hen kills Xue Tian without hesitation twice: first in Balaque as part of his revenge against the Xue family, and later in Heaven Dou City when Qian Renxue brings the half-brother to him 7 32. Xue Hen shows no remorse or sentimentality, treating Xue Tian as an obstacle to be eliminated.
• Ning Pianpian (mother?): Xue Hen’s mother, who planned to flee to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after Xue Hen’s attack in Balaque. Xue Hen kills her during the confrontation, showing his ruthlessness toward those who wronged him 7.
• Wang Yi: A representative of the Spirit Hall who invites Xue Hen to join the Hall. Xue Hen rejects the offer, stating he refuses to submit to others’ control now that he is a Super Douluo 43.
• Tu Shan Yue: A senior Balaque official who became Xue Hen's subordinate after Xue Hen returned to the kingdom. Xue Hen secured his loyalty by keeping Tu Shan Yue's grandchildren in the palace, then relied on him for administrative and military matters 114. Tu Shan Yue later supported Xue Hen's planned war against Spirit Hall and anticipated political advancement under Xue Hen's future rule 173.
• Tu Shan Hong: A subordinate of Xue Hen who reprimands Ning Rongrong for her breach of etiquette, enforcing the power dynamics and palace rules under Xue Hen’s command 135.
• Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo: Uncles of Qian Renxue who share her goals to depose Bibi Dong. They support Qian Renxue and discuss plans with her; Xue Hen has no direct interaction with them, but they are part of Qian Renxue’s circle that monitors him 43 44.
• Qian Daoliu: The Grand Elder of Spirit Hall considered Xue Hen a future threat and prioritized his assassination after learning of the Sky Screen's prophecies 159 166. Their conflict culminated in Xue Hen's decisive defeat and capture of the Rank 99 Angel Douluo, after which Xue Hen ordered him displayed at the city gates as a warning 173.
• Mighty Lion Douluo: A Spirit Hall worshipper who attempted to force Xue Hen's surrender by holding Kundera hostage. Xue Hen killed Kundera rather than submit and severely injured Mighty Lion Douluo with Demon Sweeper, completely overturning the hostage plan 171.

Major Events and Battles

1. Xue Hen's Defeat of the Life Giant Whale
   During his early rise to power, Xue Hen faced and defeated a formidable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast known as the Life Giant Whale. This battle occurred shortly after he became a Title Douluo at the age of twenty, showcasing his exceptional talent and immense strength. The victory further solidified his reputation as a prodigy in the soul master world and demonstrated his capability to overcome even the most powerful soul beasts 3.

2. Instant Defeat of Three Great Douluo in Heaven Dou City
   In a major confrontation in Heaven Dou City, Xue Hen intervened in the chaotic battle between Tang Hao, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan. Using his sixth Soul Skill, "Sword Settles Mountains and Rivers," Xue Hen defeated all three Title Douluo in a single strike, instantly ending their deadly struggle. The intervention saved Yue Guan from imminent death, prompting Gui Mei to beg Xue Hen to spare his comrade and attack him instead, revealing a deep brotherly bond between the two Spirit Hall elders. Tang Hao, despite his injuries, urged Xue Hen to kill both Gui Mei and Yue Guan due to their past crimes 61 62.

3. Humiliation of Tang Hao and Surrender of Qian Renxue
   Enraged by Spirit Hall's reckless destruction and the harm caused to civilians, Xue Hen confronted and decisively defeated the combined forces of Tang Hao, Qian Renxue, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan. After initially sparing them, Xue Hen captured the group when they attempted to flee and decided to hand them over to the Judicial Office in Heaven Dou City. Qian Renxue, despite her initial confidence, was forced to admit defeat and surrender, demonstrating her pragmatic nature. Prince Xue Xing later arrived with reinforcements and praised Xue Hen's actions, highlighting the growing alliance between Xue Hen and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family 63.

4. Planned Confrontation by Three Great Sects
   Following Xue Hen's attack on Yan Yan, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo devised a plan to gather the combined strength of the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to confront Xue Hen. However, the alliance never materialized due to internal divisions and pragmatic decisions. Yu Luomian, Vice Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, forcibly took Yu Tianheng away to prevent him from acting against Xue Hen. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin abandoned Ning Pianpian and Xue Tian near Xue Hen's location, revealing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's ruthless prioritization of survival over familial loyalty 28.

5. Xue Hen's Battle with Bibi Dong
   After refusing an alliance offer from Bibi Dong, Xue Hen engaged her in a sky-high duel. He employed his Self-Created Soul Skill, "Sword Separates the World," against Bibi Dong's Divine Skill, "Nether Rakshasa." Bibi Dong was severely injured and attempted to flee, but Xue Hen pursued her with his sixth Soul Skill, "Sword Settles Mountains and Rivers," defeating her decisively. Xue Hen dismissed Bibi Dong's strength as mediocre, showcasing the vast power gap between them. Following the victory, he returned to the city and ordered a retaliation against the Spirit Hall Empire 102.

6. Huyan Zhen's Rescue of Qian Renxue
   After Qian Renxue was defeated by Xue Hen and was about to be executed by Prince Xue Xing's soldiers, Huyan Zhen, the sect master of the Elephant Armored Sect, arrived to rescue her along with Gui Mei and Yue Guan. Huyan Zhen used his immense soul power to threaten Prince Xue Xing, defending his sect's independence and standing up to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Xue Hen, who had chosen not to engage further to avoid compromising his own interests, observed the confrontation from a distance 65.

7. Tang Hao's Massacre of Heaven Dou City's Martial Soul Holy Hall
   Seeking vengeance for the attack on the Clear Sky Sect's branch, Tang Hao launched a devastating massacre on the Martial Soul Holy Hall in Heaven Dou City, killing all spirit masters inside. The event was broadcast across the continent via Sky Screen, sparking outrage among soul masters everywhere. This act of retribution escalated the conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall, and directly led to Qian Renxue's subsequent plans to assassinate Tang Hao 70 49.

8. Palace Coup and Battle Against Bibi Dong
   In Spirit City, Bibi Dong was confronted by Lingyuan Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo over the murder of the late Pope. Bibi Dong admitted to the crime, triggering a fierce battle in the Pope's Palace against the three Title Douluo. This internal power struggle weakened the leadership of the Spirit Hall and diverted its attention from external threats. Meanwhile, Xue Hen capitalized on the chaos by planning to target Salas, Bibi Dong's subordinate in Heaven Dou City 38.

9. Qian Renxue's Plan to Assassinate Tang Hao
   Disguised as a Spirit Hall deacon, Qian Renxue orchestrated a plan to assassinate Tang Hao using the combined strength of four Title Douluo — Pufferfish Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo — including a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. However, Tang Hao had traveled to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to meet Emperor Xue Ye and find Xue Hen, evading the ambush. Xue Hen, meanwhile, observed the movements of the Title Douluo from a distance and decided to follow them to Heaven Dou City 55 56 58.

10. Planned Assassination of Xue Hen by Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall
    After viewing a Sky Screen that predicted Xue Hen's future ascension as a god and the unification of the continent under the Heaven Dou Empire, Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire and his Empress devised a plan to assassinate Xue Hen to prevent his rise. Simultaneously, Qian Daoliu, Grand Elder of Spirit Hall, driven by grief over his granddaughter's death and the fall of the Angel God, prioritized killing Xue Hen above all other threats. He ordered all spirit masters affiliated with Spirit Hall to search for Tang San as well, intending to eliminate both prodigies before they could become gods 166.

11. Defeat of the Worship Hall and Kundera's Death
    During the Worship Hall's attempt to eliminate him, Xue Hen effortlessly defeated Guangling Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo. Mighty Lion Douluo then seized Kundera as a hostage and demanded Xue Hen's surrender. Xue Hen responded by killing his own father without hesitation and severely injuring Mighty Lion Douluo with his fourth soul skill, Demon Sweeper, before restoring himself to peak condition with the Emerald Swan 171.

12. Capture of Qian Daoliu and the Attack on Spirit Hall
    Xue Hen defeated the Rank 99 Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu and the other Spirit Hall worshippers by himself, proving his supremacy over Spirit Hall's highest conventional combat force. He ordered the captured worshippers hung before the city gates as a public warning, then directed the Balaque army to attack Spirit Hall and sought Heaven Dou's military assistance 173.
