Background

Li Qingming's soul transmigrated into the previous era of the Douluo World. At age six, during the era's final days, he awakened twin martial souls: the Sacred Angel and Fallen Angel. Qian Renxue's death coincided with his awakening, leaving him with her remnant soul, a trace of her origin power, and the Angel God's inheritance. 2

After Tang San and the other gods departed, the Angel Family was purged. Li Qingming witnessed his father being murdered and his mother dying after being pierced by a Star Luo Empire expert, leaving him with lasting hatred toward Tang San and his legacy. 2

He sealed himself within a ten-thousand-year ice coffin, an act connected to Qian Renxue's remnant soul. The prolonged freezing gave him an ultimate-ice constitution that altered his physique. 3 16

Ye Xishui later removed him from the coffin and exploited his talent. She forced him to swallow a Soul-Eating Pill, whose parasite clings to his heart and requires a suppressant every three months, then ordered him to enter Shrek Academy as a spy for the Holy Spirit Cult. 2

Appearance

Li Qingming is an unusually handsome youth with an aloof, almost godlike bearing. His normal appearance is associated with the sacred side of his power, while his Fallen Angel avatar adopts a darker appearance. 4 75

• Golden hair and golden eyes marked by a faint white ring. 4
• Fair, jade-like hands and a calm, refined presence. 10 39
• His disguised Fallen Angel form has black hair and black eyes. 34 75
• His Six-Winged Angel manifestation is described as an immense sacred angel with six pairs of wings. 4

Personality

Li Qingming is composed under coercion, danger, and provocation. When Ye Xishui enslaved him through the Soul-Eating Pill, he immediately chose outward compliance rather than futile resistance. He similarly conceals the Fallen Angel martial soul around Mu En and treats his clone bodies as contingencies rather than mere extensions of himself. 2 3 22

He is pragmatic and highly calculating. He cultivates goodwill at Shrek not out of simple kindness, but to secure moral credibility and reduce suspicion if Dai Huabin is later harmed. His long-term plans center on acquiring enough strength and resources to oppose Tang San. 32 47 97

Despite his detachment, Li Qingming protects those he accepts as allies or responsibilities. He repeatedly suppresses Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, saves Zhu Lu during the Beast Battle, and commits himself to rescuing Snow Empress. 27 46 73

Abilities & Skills

Twin Angel Martial Souls

Li Qingming possesses the Sacred Angel and Fallen Angel, two god-tier martial souls that embody opposing sacred and fallen attributes. He later divides them between separate bodies to prevent both powers from being exposed together. 2 22

• The Sacred Angel possesses innate ultimate sacred power. 2
• The Fallen Angel carries depravity and corrupting power capable of rapidly overwhelming opponents. 106
• His Fallen Angel's soul rings originate from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 43
• At four rings, the Fallen Judgment Sword possessed power close to the peak five-ring level. 43

Angel God's Inheritance

Qian Renxue's remnant soul resides within Li Qingming as a soul spirit and grants him access to the Angel God's legacy. Her remnant soul instinctively concealed itself when Tang San's divine sense probed Li Qingming. 2 3 43

• Cultivates through the Angel God Art, which rapidly draws sacred and light-attributed energy. 3 4
• Can purify surroundings with angelic power, including Dormitory 108. 3
• His sacred power can suppress and transform Ma Xiaotao's evil fire toward a Holy Phoenix attribute. 27
• His golden soul rings are publicly attributed to the nature of his Six-Winged Angel martial soul. 40

Angel Soul Skills

• Angel's Will — Enhances sacred power, physical strength, defense, and the destructive effect of sacred power; grants immunity to negative conditions. 12
• Angel Slash / manifested angel swords — Uses sacred sword attacks to counter powerful opponents and pressure multiple targets. 25 60
• Sacred Shield — Creates a complete angelic barrier with no blind spots; protected Li Qingming, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao from Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's fusion attack. 25
• Angel Chains — His fourth soul skill creates restraining chains that can multiply and bind numerous opponents; its strength increases under Angel's Will. 60
• Divine Sword — His fifth soul skill is an absolute destructive attack that severely injured a seven-ring Soul Sage referee. 77

Soul-Splitting and Clones

Li Qingming uses a method that separates his martial souls into distinct bodies rather than literally splitting his soul. This lets him maintain different identities and affiliations at Shrek and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. 22 32

• Fallen Clone — Houses the Fallen Angel martial soul and uses the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as its core; it also possesses spatial power for escape. 32
• Ice-Snow Clone — Forged through the Ice Empress using the body and power of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion; it wields the Heavenly Snow Woman, later described as an Ice Angel, martial soul. 31 38 92
• He can temporarily draw on his clones' martial souls, effectively wielding three martial souls at once. 39
• This simultaneous use heavily burdens his spiritual sea, and a clone cannot use its own martial soul while Li Qingming borrows it. 39

Sin Prison Gate

His sixth soul skill, supplied by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, manifests as a massive gate that releases corrupting chains. 114 115

• The chains nearly dragged Ma Xiaotao into the gate and corrupted her martial soul. 115
• Li Qingming paired the technique with destructive power inherited from the God King of Destruction. 115
• The technique was dangerous enough to alarm Xuan Zi and the assembled Titled Douluo. 115 117

Time-Type Restoration

Li Qingming possesses a time-type ability that restored roughly half of his expended Soul Power to its peak state during battle. 108

• Its demonstrated effect is rapid recovery of Soul Power. 108
• Observers considered its potential combination with high-level soul tools exceptionally dangerous. 108

Destruction and Life Powers

The Destruction and Life Dao Seeds strengthen all three of Li Qingming's bodies and contributed to his advance into the Soul Emperor realm. 97

• Destruction power increases the offensive force of his soul skills. 97
• Life energy continuously nourishes his bodies and increases his vitality. 97
• He can influence vitality, absorb power from the Golden Ancient Tree, and potentially devour others' life force. 97

Soul Engineering

Li Qingming's immense spiritual power gives him exceptional pattern-recognition, memorization, and crafting speed despite early assumptions that he lacked soul-engineering talent. 33 36

• Memorizes low-level soul-tool formations after minimal study. 36
• Crafted a Class 1 Power-Gathering Ring in fifteen minutes. 36
• Crafted a Level 3 artillery shell and completed its core formation in roughly ten minutes. 57
• Guided Meng Hongchen to become a Grade 3 Soul Engineer. 62

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Angel Set soul bones — Reclaimed portions of Qian Renxue's former god-level soul-bone set.
  • Skull bone, described as the strongest piece of the set. 49
  • Right leg bone, selected as his second soul bone. 50
  • Torso bone, acquired as compensation from Sea God's Pavilion. 68
  • Fusion changed their power from Sacred Angel to Judgment Angel. 50
• Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion arm bone — Began fusing with it after absorbing Snow Empress's power. 92
• Storage ring — A transparent ring worn on his index finger. 68
• Purple longsword — A trump card used to force Xuan Zi to choose between pursuing Li Qingming and saving Ma Xiaotao. 116
• Hall of Illustrious Virtue workshop access — Jing Hongchen provided a research workbench, a top-tier academy VIP card, and 500,000 Gold Soul Coins. 58

Relationships

• Qian Renxue — His cousin and the source of his Angel God inheritance; her remnant soul lives within his spiritual sea as a childlike soul spirit. 3 39
• Ye Xishui — Rescuer and coercive controller; made him ingest the Soul-Eating Pill and assigned him to infiltrate Shrek Academy. 2
• Nangong Wan — Holy Spirit Cult superior assigned to escort and oversee him during his Shrek mission. 2
• Wang Dong — Shrek roommate, close companion, and Martial Soul Fusion Skill partner; their relationship develops from confrontation into mutual reliance. 4 27 68 100

• Ice Empress — Collaborator who helps create the Ice-Snow Clone and resides in his spiritual sea; she supports his choices while remaining concerned about their risks. 31 97
• Snow Empress — Li Qingming seeks to rescue her; after her fusion process, her childlike form calls him “Daddy” and depends on him. 73 92
• Dark Demon Evil God Tiger — Source of the Fallen Clone's core, its soul rings, and Li Qingming's sixth soul skill; serves as a cunning adviser in his spiritual sea. 32 43 73 114
• Xu Tianran — Crown Prince whose service Li Qingming accepts in exchange for resources and political support. 32
• Meng Hongchen — Soul-engineering collaborator and supporter; she provides resources and grows increasingly attached to him. 36 58 101
• Jing Hongchen — Initially wary of him, then becomes an investor and protector after recognizing his soul-engineering talent. 58 116

• Xuan Zi — Shrek elder and open adversary after attempting to kill Li Qingming during the tournament. 115 117
• Tang San — Li Qingming's ultimate enemy; Li Qingming intends to kill him and seize the Sea God and Asura powers within him. 97

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Infiltration

Li Qingming enters Shrek as Ye Xishui's controlled spy, concealing the Fallen Angel martial soul while cultivating the Sacred Angel. He becomes a core disciple, defeats rivals including Xu Sanshi and Dai Huabin, and establishes himself as one of the academy's strongest students. 2 3 10 25 62

Far North Expedition and Clone Creation

National Soul Master Tournament

Li Qingming's original body helps lead Shrek's reserve team, including forming a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Dong. Meanwhile, his Fallen Clone represents the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, allowing him to position both sides of the conflict under his own control. 74 100 101 106

The Fallen Clone defeats Dai Yueheng, overwhelms Ma Xiaotao with Sin Prison Gate, and forces Xuan Zi into retreat with the threat of escalation from Jing Hongchen. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy defeats Shrek, ending Shrek's long-held tournament dominance. 106 115 116 117

Aftermath

“Today, I am only a six-ringed Soul Emperor. Naturally, I am no match for you. But the day I step into the realm of a Titled Douluo will be the day you all die.” 117

Trivia
