Background / History

A special race known as the Undying Race emerged from the darkness within the sealed Barren Expanse. They became known as the Dark Clan, beings described as nearly undying and indestructible due to their reliance on dark power. The clan possesses ten Dark Progenitors, each comparable to a Dao Master, while even ordinary clan members are born at the True Lord realm. 412

Unwilling to remain confined to the Barren Expanse, the Dark Clan studied its seal and found a flaw through which they could periodically enter the myriad heavens and worlds. Each such incursion became an inescapable catastrophe known as the Dark Turmoil. 412

The Dark Ancestor and the Barren Expanse's core darkness are suppressed by Dao Lords, while some Dark Clan members are imprisoned in Nine Nether Purgatory. Their influence nevertheless permeates the Barren Expanse, corrupting its native Alien Clan and strengthening both races on their home ground. 413 444 446

Abilities & Traits

Undying and Indestructible Nature

The Dark Clan entrust themselves to dark power, granting them extreme survivability and the ability to return after death under ordinary circumstances. 429 448

• Dark Clan and allied Alien Clan members can resurrect through the Barren Expanse's power. 444
• Their perceived immortality made conventional victories against them temporary. 448
• Fang Xing's Myriad Tribulations Imperishable Law and tribulation aura can erode their dark power and achieve Eternal Slaying, preventing revival. 429 448

Dark Power

Dark power is the foundation of the clan's combat strength, corruption, and resilience. 412 444

• Enhances the Dark Clan and Alien Clan within the Barren Expanse to roughly 150–200% of their normal strength. 446
• Intensifies during dark unrest, while suppressing other beings. 446
• Can corrupt native races, as demonstrated by the Alien Clan. 444
• Can manifest as dark divine power, dark Great Dao divine lightning, and destructive divine abilities. 420 463

True Lord-Level Birth

Every ordinary Dark Clan member is born at the True Lord realm, placing the race far above the ordinary powers of the myriad heavens and worlds. 412

• Their armies field large numbers of Ninth Revolution and completion-stage True Lords. 461 469
• A single wave of ancestral-land reinforcements included approximately 1,000 True Lords, including 50 completion-stage True Lords. 461

Formations and Assets

• Dark Altar — A battle manifestation used by a Dark Clan Third Transformation True Lord to meet Fang Xing's axe strike. 420
• Ancestor Array — The Dark Clan's strongest defensive formation; it draws upon the Barren Expanse's power and protects their hidden spacetime headquarters. 458
• Ancestral Grand Domain — A prison-like divine ability formed by Dark Clan True Lords to suppress Fang Xing with continuous black Great Dao divine lightning. 463
• Dark Ancestor Array — A grand array through which Dark Clan and Alien Clan True Lords surrender origin power to reinforce the Ancestor avatar. 472
• Ancestor's Blood — Purple-gold blood carrying innate ancestral majesty; the Dark Clan used it with their origin power to cultivate an Ancestor avatar beyond the True Lord level. 469 470
• Ancestor Idol — A means by which forces from multiple Dark Clan headquarters were transported and assembled. 469

Relationships

• Alien Clan — Corrupted allies and puppets; the Dark Clan grants them access to dark power, near-immortal lifespans, and resurrection. 444

• Dao Lords of the myriad heavens — Long-standing adversaries who suppress the Dark Ancestor and isolate the Barren Expanse's core regions. 444 464
• Fang Xing / Primordial True Lord — Their foremost threat; his tribulation-based power can eternally erase Dark Clan members, making him a target for repeated joint offensives. 448 454

• Black Origin — Dark Clan grand chieftain who activated the Ancestor Array after Fang Xing's attacks and later coordinated resistance against him. 457 466

Story Role / Major Arcs

Nine Nether Purgatory

Fang Xing entered Nine Nether Purgatory to investigate the imprisoned Dark Clan. He encountered and fought a Third Transformation Dark Clan True Lord at the Black Sea, ultimately killing him after a month-long battle and obtaining part of his Dao Fruit origin. 413 420

Dark Turmoil at Chaos City

The Dark Clan and Alien Clan jointly assaulted Chaos City from four directions during a dark upheaval. Their home-ground dark power granted them a major advantage, but Fang Xing's tribulation aura permanently destroyed more than a hundred True Lords, exposing the vulnerability of their supposed immortality. 446 448

Black Sky responded by leading a massive counterattack on the eastern stronghold, including multiple completion-stage High Chieftains and an ancestral phantom. The assault failed when Fang Xing used the Immortal-Slaying Token's sword qi to repel the attackers. 449

Ancestral Land Reinforcements

After suffering severe losses, the Dark Clan activated the Ancestor Array and summoned reinforcements from the Dark Ancestral Land. The first wave brought roughly a thousand high-level True Lords, while later waves gathered tens of thousands of True Lords and hundreds at completion stage. 457 460 461 469

The clan trapped Fang Xing within the Ancestral Grand Domain and besieged Chaos City, intending to seize its Source of Power. Fang Xing broke free after enhancing his Myriad Tribulations Imperishable Body, then annihilated the attacking army and destroyed the Chaos Region headquarters. 463 464 466

Battle for Primordial City

The surviving Dark Clan forces consolidated in the Primordial Region and used Ancestor's Blood and their own origin power to create an Ancestor avatar stronger than an ordinary True Lord. 469 470

The Ancestor avatar led tens of thousands of Dark Clan and Alien Clan True Lords against Primordial City. After a hundred-year battle, the Dark Clan activated the Dark Ancestor Array and sacrificed origin power to reinforce the avatar, but the array collapsed. Fang Xing slew the Ancestor avatar and eliminated the remaining Dark Clan True Lords. 471 472
