Background
Xue Xing was Emperor Xue Ye's younger brother and a prominent member of the Heaven Dou imperial family. He formerly maintained influence at court through his association with Dugu Bo, the empire's only affiliated Titled Douluo at the time. After Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan disappeared, Xue Xing promoted the claim that Dugu Bo had merely fled and would eventually return, attempting to preserve his own political standing. 23
He consistently opposed the policies advocated by the impostor Xue Qinghe, later revealed as Spirit Hall agent Guang Tian. When Xue Qinghe sought to commit the empire's elite forces to an ambush against Qian Renxue and Tai Yi, Xue Xing warned that exhausting Heaven Dou's forces would leave it vulnerable to Star Luo and its subordinate states. 26
Personality
Xue Xing was a committed Heaven Dou loyalist who prioritized the empire's survival over personal safety. He openly criticized Xue Qinghe's reckless military decisions and remained one of the few court figures willing to oppose the future emperor. 26 51
His loyalty became increasingly desperate as Spirit Hall dismantled Heaven Dou's allies and military strength. Although he distrusted Guang Tian, he accepted command of the imperial army after being convinced that the emperor trusted him and that both men were bound to Heaven Dou's fate. 114
This desperation ultimately drove him to sanction atrocities and cultivate forbidden power. He supplied the Blood Demon Cult with people affiliated with Spirit Hall in exchange for intelligence and assistance, believing any sacrifice was acceptable if it preserved the empire. 124

Story Role / Major Arcs
Opposition to the Ambush
When the Heaven Dou court received reports about Qian Renxue and Tai Yi's journey, Xue Xing opposed committing the empire's strongest forces to an anti–Spirit Hall alliance. He correctly warned that a failed operation could ruin the already weakened empire. 26
His warning proved justified when the ambush failed, costing Heaven Dou four Soul Douluo retainers and more than a dozen Soul Saints. Xue Xing publicly blamed Xue Qinghe for bringing the empire to ruin. 51
Command of the Heaven Dou Army
After Xue Ye's death, Xue Xing continued assisting the imperial court despite his disdain for Xue Qinghe. 102 Guang Tian later exploited Xue Xing's loyalty by appointing him overall commander in the alliance with Star Luo, intending for Xue Xing and other hardliners to die in the coming conflict. 114
Believing he had been entrusted with Heaven Dou's future, Xue Xing accepted the command and sought permission to place his own followers in key military positions. Guang Tian agreed because it would gather the empire's hardliners in one place. 114
Alliance with the Blood Demon Cult
To gain leverage against Spirit Hall, Xue Xing contacted the Blood Demon Cult through an intermediary. He promised young boys, girls, and soul masters—particularly Heaven Dou residents close to Spirit Hall—in exchange for the cult acting as informants and insiders. 124
Bloodlust disclosed the arrangement to Tai Yi before being executed, confirming Xue Xing's involvement with the Evil Soul Master organization. 125
Evil Cultivation and Defeat
Xue Xing armed senior commanders with Bibi Dong's evil method, allowing them to rapidly become Evil Soul Masters. As the method spread through his army, officers began consuming soldiers and civilians to cultivate. 132 134
When Tai Yi advanced toward his hidden camp, Xue Xing ordered Duke Qin, General Lin, and two Grand Pontiffs to delay the attackers while he consumed the commanders under his control. This raised him to level 97, but his camp was discovered before he could complete his plans. 134 135
Xue Xing attempted to defeat or escape Tai Yi's group, first facing Zi Ji and Xiao Bai, then being surrounded by the Ice Empress and Snow Empress as well. His secret art briefly raised him to level 98, but it failed to break the encirclement. 136
After the secret art exhausted him, Xue Xing revealed that Bibi Dong had given him the evil method. Tai Yi then informed him that Emperor Xue Qinghe was actually Guang Tian, a Spirit Hall spy responsible for Heaven Dou's collapse, before killing him. 137
