Background

Xiling was an orphan in Eastsea City after transmigrating into the era of The Legend of the Dragon King. In his previous life, he lost both parents, raised his younger siblings through years of overwork, and died from illness before awakening in Douluo Continent. 1

On Martial Soul Awakening Day, he awakened the Void Core: Sirin's Herrscher Core from another world. Its emergence caused continent-wide spatial disturbances and manifested Benares, the Judgment-class Honkai Beast linked to the Herrscher of the Void. 1 Though the Spirit Pagoda attempted to recruit him immediately, Xiling declined. 1

Leng Yaozhu later discovered his potential and accepted him as her disciple. Xiling disclosed his self-condensed soul rings and innate spatial domain, but chose to remain in Eastsea City rather than accompany her to the Spirit Pagoda, insisting on following his own heart. 3

After finding Na'er alone following an encounter with human traffickers, Xiling became her closest brother and guardian. 5 67 He subsequently entered Eastsea Academy, joined Class Five under Wu Zhangkong, and became a central member of Zero Class alongside Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue. 8 35

Xiling later entered the Blood God Legion to investigate the Far North and confront the Abyss. His exceptional assessment earned him an unprecedented captain's commission, followed by promotions into the Blood God Camp, lieutenant colonel, and ultimately major general. 99 114 122 125 After leaving the legion, he returned to Shrek City and became Tang Sect's Agility Hall Master. 126 156

Appearance

Xiling is a white-haired, azure-eyed boy whose appearance became markedly more androgynous after releasing Herrscher power. 1 56

• Short snow-white hair and clear azure-blue eyes in his ordinary state. 1
• The Void Core manifests as an ancient dark-gold gemstone held in his right hand. 1
• Herrscher transformation lengthens his hair to his waist, turns his eyes golden, and manifests Herrscher Armor. 53
• After his transformation, he was temporarily heterochromatic, with one azure eye and one gold eye. 54 56
• His altered features and long hair have repeatedly caused others to mistake him for a girl. 74 75

Personality

Xiling is composed, direct, and unusually mature for his age. He openly admits his desire for money, rooted in the poverty and responsibility of his previous life, yet does not disguise that greed behind false nobility. 3

His choices are guided by personal conviction rather than status or expectation. Despite being offered Spirit Pagoda resources and direct instruction from Leng Yaozhu, he remained at Eastsea Academy because he wanted to decide his own path. 3 He is confident to the point of arrogance, but his boasts are generally backed by overwhelming power. 11 36

He is protective toward innocents and his companions. He relocated his battle with Leng Yulai away from Eastsea City to avoid collateral harm, protected Zero Class in the Spirit Ascension Platform, and prioritized rescuing soldiers over earning merit during Abyssal Tides. 15 47 122 He can also be playful and provocative, particularly when teasing Xie Xie and Gu Yue. 20 46

Abilities & Skills

Void Core

The Void Core is Xiling's god-grade spatial Martial Soul and the Herrscher Core of Sirin, granting authority over space. 1 19

• Can independently condense violet-gold natal soul rings rather than obtaining conventional rings or soul spirits. 2 3
• Its rings exert pressure beyond ordinary ten-thousand-year rings. 11
• Produces the Subspace Spear, a weapon granted by the Void Core rather than the Martial Soul itself. 19
• Grants exceptionally high spatial affinity; Gu Yue's control of the space element increased by 50% when the Void Core was revealed. 19

Innate Spatial Domain

Xiling possesses a one-hundred-meter innate domain in which he is the master of space. 2

• Suppresses and disables enemy spatial abilities within its range, regardless of the opponent's Soul Power level. 2
• Increases his perception and control of space by 100%. 2
• Rendered Leng Yulai unable to use the Spacetime Divine Shuttle. 16

Spatial Manipulation

Xiling employs spatial techniques for movement, defense, battlefield control, and large-scale destruction.

• Spatial Folding — Folds surrounding real space to redirect attacks and create effective intangibility. It can be overcome by time-based power or sufficient absolute force, and large attacks can exhaust his Soul Power. 2 12
• Spatial Positioning / displacement — Marks or shifts positions for rapid teleportation. He can open long-distance spatial passages, including routes between cities. 2 129
• Spatial Imprisonment — Freezes or seals an opponent's surrounding space, restricting movement and Soul Power circulation. 11 95
• Spatial Severing — Generates dense spatial blades from spatial barriers to cut targets apart. 11
• Spatial Strangulation — Annihilates targets through spatial force; Xiling used it to erase an entire beast tide in the Spirit Ascension Platform. 11 45
• Shifting Places, Changing Scenery — A rule-based technique that forcibly moves everyone in a battlefield to another location. Its consumption depends on the number of targets rather than their strength. 15
• Chaotic Space — Distorts spatial orientation, overturning the normal directions of a battlefield and disrupting coordinated attacks. 136
• Dimensional Slash / Spatial Obliteration — High-output attacks used against abyssal forces; their use can consume most of his Soul Power. 120 146

Void Realm

The Void Realm is Xiling's large-scale spatial manifestation technique.

• Can summon countless Subspace Spears to eliminate large groups of enemies. 119
• Was used to destroy eighteen Abyssal layers alongside Spatial Imprisonment and Spatial Obliteration. 146
• Its high output can leave Xiling nearly depleted and vulnerable until he recovers. 119

Herrscher Power and Honkai Energy

By activating ten violet-gold soul rings, Xiling can enter Herrscher form and display power beyond the Douluo Plane's conventional godhood. 53

• Manifestation grants golden eyes, waist-length hair, Herrscher Armor, and immense spatial authority. 53
• In Herrscher form, he effortlessly overpowered Tang San while Tang San was acting through Tang Wulin's body. 53
• Honkai Energy can power attacks even where Martial Souls and Soul Power are sealed. 112
• Releasing Honkai Energy while he still possesses Soul Power risks forcing a Herrscher transformation. 112

Physical and Spiritual Power

Xiling's base physical and spiritual capabilities greatly exceed his cultivation peers.

• Registered spiritual power of 4,999, just below the Spirit Abyss Realm. 38
• Destroyed strength-testing machines with single punches on multiple occasions. 38 76
• Withstood Long Yeyue's Two Extremes Explosion using only his physical body and pure Soul Power. 163

Benares and Bella

Benares is Xiling's guardian Honkai Beast, an ice-, fire-, and lightning-wielding Judgment-class dragon that obeys only him. 1 2

• Benares can contend with high-level Soul Masters and severely injured rank 97 Super Douluo Leng Yulai. 15
• After merging with a simulated Void Core, Benares gained the space element and assumed the humanoid identity of Bella. 63
• Bella's authority over space ranks below only Xiling's, and she acts as his protector. 63

Equipment / Items

• Phoenix Necklace — Given by Leng Yaozhu; contains three of her full-power attacks for Xiling's protection. 4
• Spacetime Divine Shuttle — Spatial divine artifact taken from Leng Yulai and later studied by Xiling. 16 17
• Golden lens — A lens capable of capturing and displaying fragments of space's memories; Xiling gave it to Wu Zhangkong to help him see Long Bing again. 76
• Blood God Ring — Records his Blood God Legion merit, including his 487,200-merit Abyssal Tide result. 122

Relationships

• Leng Yaozhu — Teacher and maternal figure. She accepted Xiling as her disciple, protected his freedom to remain in Eastsea City, and supported his military placement. 3 4 99
• Na'er — Adopted younger sister and one of Xiling's closest attachments. He rescued her as a child, and she publicly identifies him as her closest brother. 5 67 158
• Gu Yue — Classmate, confidante, and romantic partner. Xiling recognized her identity as the Silver Dragon King; their relationship became increasingly intimate, culminating in Gu Yue kissing him at the Lake of Life. 23 140
• Benares / Bella — Guardian beast and later humanoid protector. Benares obeys Xiling alone, while Bella protects him with unwavering devotion. 2 63
• Wu Zhangkong — Teacher, sparring partner, and trusted friend. Wu Zhangkong recognized Xiling's unprecedented talent and later accepted his gift connected to Long Bing's memories. 12 76
• Tang Wulin — Close friend and former classmate. Xiling supported Tang Wulin's forging path, helped with his Golden Dragon King problem, and enabled his relationship with Ouyang Zixin. 13 76
• Long Yuxue — Blood God Legion colleague, instructor, and close companion. She repeatedly protected Xiling in the Abyss, while he left her a pufferfish necklace when departing the legion. 114 119 126
• Xu Xiaoyan — Friend and student. Xiling helped her identify her path, taught her Self-Created Soul Skills, and guided her cultivation. 142 148 152
• Na Nali — Subordinate loyal to Xiling. She follows his orders and later oversees children under his protection. 99 127
• Tang Hao — Potential adversary tied to the Douluo Plane's authority. Xiling's awakening temporarily suppressed him, but Xiling later chose not to kill him to avoid destabilizing Douluo Star. 1 125
• Plane Spirit — Subservient entity that fears Xiling's power and cooperates with him regarding sealed Honkai Energy and plane authority. 125 126
