Background
Liu Feng begins as a Gu Child under Insect Valley’s control. Harassed by Ma Kun and other children, he endures the abuse while holding onto a single goal: become a Gu Master, escape the valley, and find his father, mother, and younger brother. 1
While clearing a Medicine Pit, he finds a Seven-Colored Pebble. The pebble slows his perception of time, allowing him to evade attacks and kill Qiao Fei; it also shows him a future vision of his own death. 2 Later, the artifact leads him to the Nameless Immeasurable Bone Buddha and ultimately dissolves into his spine as the True Bone Sarira. 3 4
He learns that Insect Valley’s failed disciples are transformed into Exotic Gu, and that Valley Master Lu Huai has placed a restriction on every Gu Child. Before transforming completely, the former First Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister entrust Liu Feng with insect crystals, the Exotic Gu eggs Fire Eater and Flower Immortal, and the protection of their daughter, Leng Qiuyue. 14
During his journey beyond Insect Valley, Liu Feng becomes entangled with Cangtuo Temple’s Buddhist inheritance, the Erosion Sect, the Wheel Turning Sect, royal-blood clans, and the wider Void Realm. His connection to Mirror Dust, his recurring past-life memories, and the remnants of his first life steadily reshape both his cultivation and temperament. 363 402 650
By the Great Calamity, Liu Feng’s massacres of royal-blood clans, capture of eighth-realm cultivators, and repeated victories over sect-master-level figures make him known across the continents as the “Liu Demon.” 574 696 At the culmination of the calamity, he discovers that the being carrying his memories and humanity is distinct from the true spirit of the original Liu Feng. 725
Appearance
Liu Feng initially has a delicate face and a physically weak body, but Gu refinement transforms him substantially. By the time he becomes a Gu Master, he is taller, slender, sharp-featured, and described as handsome and ethereal. 1 20
- When mobilizing Gu poison, his nails blacken, veins turn blue-black, and Gu insects visibly press beneath his skin. 3
- His combat form can manifest five serrated insect limbs from his back. 16
- His Exotic Gu grants him a frightening Twenty-Two Eyes form: extra eyes on his face, arms, and the back of his head. 21
- His spine contains golden Buddha Light left by the True Bone Sarira. 4
- After Fire Eater sheds twice, most of his hair becomes crimson, while his body gains a deceptive impression of physical strength. 125
- His true body becomes paler and develops longer fingernails after the Mirror Lake events and subsequent cultivation. 195
- Following the Three Lives metamorphosis, he can emerge with over a hundred Compound Eyes and a radically transformed Soldier Gu. 210
- In later battles, his Buddhist power can manifest a thousand-zhang white-bone Buddha body or a massive Dharma manifestation. 402 616
- His appearance varies among his avatars and bodies, including a white-haired Gu Master form, a blood-haired Asura Body, and a black-haired demonic-path body. 318 561 649
Personality
Liu Feng is calculating, self-preserving, and patient when circumstances demand it. He avoids direct confrontation when he lacks the means to win, such as when he escapes Liu Xing in the Gu Cave rather than attempting an unwinnable fight. 6
He is also ruthless toward threats. He ambushes Ma Kun’s group, kills rivals in Lu Huai’s deathmatch, executes Ma Kun after becoming Fourth Senior Brother, and later silences bandits who witnessed his Gu Fire. 6 24 26 47
Despite this pragmatism, he accepts responsibility for Leng Qiuyue after receiving her parents’ final request. He intervenes to protect her, provides her with Blood Qi Pills, and arranges for Fang Xing and Hu Xiangyang to watch over her during his absence. 14 16 26
As his strength grows, Liu Feng becomes increasingly willing to use enemies, subordinates, and resources as means to advance his cultivation. He forces Lu Yao to rear Gu for him, hunts powerful cultivators for their Gu and bloodlines, and cultivates followers who can serve his expanding interests. 243 472 617
His recovered past-life memories gradually make him more detached from ordinary emotional ties. By the time he reaches the Void Realm, even old acquaintances appear unfamiliar to him, and he prioritizes cultivation, karmic calculations, and long-term schemes over personal sentiment. 650 652
Abilities & Skills
Five Buddha Eye Insights
The True Bone Sarira opens all five Buddha Eye Insights for Liu Feng. Their use is limited by his available Qi or Buddha Light. 4
- Dharma Eye — sees the true nature of things. 4
- Zen Eye — observes internal organs, meridians, his own skeleton, and Gu within his body. 4 23
- Heart Eye / Mind Eye Technique — anticipates opponents’ movements and lets him evade attacks before they land. 4 6
- Insight Eye — expends Buddha Light to perceive minute details, including Qi circulation and structural weak points. 35
- Fate Eye — previews possible future events at the cost of Buddha Light; he foresees Shen Yushu betraying him and Zhu Li. 4 36
As Liu Feng faces stronger opponents, the Insight Eye’s ability to locate direct bodily flaws becomes less decisive. He instead uses it to observe the circulation of techniques, predict enemy methods, track auras, and identify hidden bodies or avatars. 472 578 616
Evolution Pupil
Liu Feng’s first Exotic Gu grants expanded perception and visual interference capabilities. Unlike Liu Xing’s vision-scrambling use of the same Gu, Liu Feng develops vision splicing. 19
- Expands his field of vision and tracks motion. 19
- Allows him to observe in all directions through his Twenty-Two Eyes form. 21 41
- Splices false images into an opponent’s sight, creating decisive openings in battle. 19 35 44
- Lets him detect attacks from behind through the eye on the back of his head. 41 50

- Supports his rapid healing and combat adaptation after his cultivation advances. 201
Fire Eater
The Fire Eater Exotic Gu converts Liu Feng’s blood into fuel for Gu Fire. 39
- Generates crimson Gu Fire by burning his own blood. 39
- Burns Human Skin Talismans and counters their Nether Fire. 42 43
- Its use requires blood and qi, making sustained use costly. 27 39
- After repeated shedding, it changes much of Liu Feng’s hair crimson and contributes to his enhanced physical strength. 125
Gu Insects and Poison
Liu Feng commands swarms of Gu insects through his Poison Qi and uses them for offense, defense, tracking, and execution. 3 6
- Releases Gu insects from wounds or directly from his body to clash with enemy swarms. 6
- Uses poisonous mist to slow and weaken spirit creatures. 21
- Plants Gu in subordinates to enforce obedience or incapacitate them if they turn hostile. 41
- Deploys insects as scouts, forming a moving “worm-line” to investigate dangerous terrain. 41
- Uses Gu swarms to overwhelm human opponents and consume Human Skin Talismans. 42 43
- Commands vast insect formations, including a swarm of seven hundred thousand Gu insects used to surround corpse fiends. 318
- Refines and devours Exotic Gu, King Gu, bloodlines, and spirit materials to strengthen his body and Gu Dao. 145 440 480
Bone Body Buddha Path
After obtaining the Diamond Demon-Subduing Sutra from the Ape Spirit, Liu Feng begins cultivating Buddha power through his skeleton rather than his flesh and meridians. 21 22
- Uses Buddhist power to reinforce his bones and increase explosive physical force. 30
- Channels Buddhist power into his legs to compensate for the gap between his perception and movement speed. 44 50
- Can empower strikes with Buddhist force, including an Ape Spirit-inspired punch that kills a White Sun Sect disciple. 50
- Has only sprouted initial Buddha-root hairs and has not yet formed the first White Bone Buddha Lotus required for the First Buddha Root realm. 22 23
- Replaces the Diamond Demon-Subduing Sutra’s guidance method with the Tuosheng Scripture, allowing him to form the second of his Buddha Roots. 136
- Later cultivates the Wheel Nirvana Sutra, Cangtuo Temple methods, and the Void Piercing Buddhist Scripture, combining their arts with the understanding gained from his past lives. 375 509 578
- Can summon a Past-Life Golden Body to withstand attacks from eighth-realm cultivators and manifest enormous bone-Buddha bodies in battle. 472 616
Gu Arts and Spatial Methods
Liu Feng develops numerous Gu arts beyond his original poison and insect-swarm methods.
- Water Moon — creates illusion realms that trap or mislead enemies. 318 335
- Shadow Theft — enables high-speed short-range movement and creates layered shadow bodies to evade attacks. 297 375
- Thunder Fort — enhances his speed and lightning control. 375 445
- Mirror Shadow — creates a duplicate and supplements his movement techniques after he obtains the Mirror Shadow Exotic Gu. 318 445
- Crimson Ox Eater — combines his Gu arts with the Rat Wraith’s heart-flesh to erode opponents such as Lu Huai. 194
- Void arts — through the Void Piercing Buddhist Scripture, Void Piercing Divine Armament, and later Other Path Gu, Liu Feng creates void passages, barriers, vortices, rifts, and the Miro Void-Rending Hand. 588 616 620 655
- Other Path Gu — grants him extraordinary spatial Gu arts and lets him combine the insights of multiple spatial Daos, giving him strength above ordinary cultivators of the same realm. 620 655
Avatars, Clones, and Puppets
Liu Feng repeatedly divides and cultivates separate bodies, allowing him to operate across distant regions and coordinate attacks through shared perception.
- He uses the identity and body of Huangfu Sheng to infiltrate the Erosion Sect. 194 195
- His true body and clone cooperate in battle, sharing vision and coordinating Soldier Gu, Gu swarms, and ambushes. 201 220
- His Asura Body cultivates separately and eventually possesses the King Gu Candle Dusk. 472 574
- His demonic-path body cultivates the Prajna Demon Scripture and commands methods from the Ink Immortal Diagram. 541
- He maintains more than one hundred Buddha Bone Puppets, including twenty with seven Buddha Roots and one hundred fifteen with six Buddha Roots. 472
- His later evil and filthy body is severed from himself and can fight alongside the Golden Crow Evil Specter. 649

- Yin-Refining Mirror — A Dao artifact whose space conceals its occupants from karma and protects Liu Feng against sect-master-level attacks. 670 687 695
Relationships
- Leng Qiuyue — Daughter of the former First Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister; Liu Feng accepts responsibility for protecting her and supports her cultivation. 14 16 26 27 She later becomes an Immortal Metamorphosis Sect disciple and rescues Liu Feng from Five-Life Body pursuers with her Exotic Gu, Everdark. 330

- Lu Huai — Valley Master of Insect Valley and Liu Feng’s master by status. Liu Feng recognizes Lu Huai as the source of the valley’s restrictions and seeks a way to escape his control. 14 25 He later battles Lu Huai using the Crimson Ox Eater Gu technique and the Rat Wraith’s heart-flesh. 194
- Lu Yao — Lu Huai’s daughter and an early intended bride of Liu Feng. Their relationship becomes one of coercion and shifting dependence after Liu Feng forces her to rear Gu for him, later removes her slave blood mark, and repeatedly rescues or directs her. 127 243 410 459
