History

Su Xinghai came from an ordinary, impoverished background and enlisted as a Body Tempering Realm recruit. He repeatedly fought at the front of battles without regard for his life, recording far more kills than other soldiers and displaying seemingly inexhaustible strength. His rapid rise to the Mid Blood Condensation Realm convinced Li Xuancang to personally nurture him. 290

His unusual strength came from a special physique, though its nature was initially unknown. After reaching the Astral Qi Realm, he could routinely fight stronger opponents; Li Xuancang believed he was born for the battlefield. 340 344 During the war against Prince Fu's forces and the Barbarians, Su Xinghai openly devoured enemies to replenish himself and accelerate his advancement. 373 375

This growth carried a severe cost. After forcing his way into the Mid Profound Connection Realm, the accumulated and conflicting energy in his Soul Sea triggered a devil's deviation. He attacked his own comrades until Li Xuancang suppressed him with soul power. Li Xuancang determined that Su Xinghai's rapid advancement, unstable foundation, and weak soul had allowed his killing instinct to overwhelm him. 374

As the world grew more dangerous, Su Xinghai later attempted a desperate breakthrough to the Divine Repository Realm so he could help protect Li Xuancang's family. The attempt failed, leaving him consumed by demonic corruption and eventually captured by the Prison Tiger Bureau. The Bureau considered him too dangerous to release and intended to execute him if the war turned against the Human Race. 426 437 439

Li Xuancang refused to abandon him. He forced the Bureau to hand Su Xinghai over, broke their seal, and immediately subdued him again when his bloodthirsty instinct erupted. Su Xinghai's consciousness was eventually restored with the Nine Heavens Ice Crystal, while the Rain Clan's High Priestess used Nine Heavens Frost to purge the mottled power in his body and Soul Sea. 440 472 477

The High Priestess identified his constitution as the legendary Devouring Heaven Physique. Su Xinghai chose to keep it despite its inherent danger, then continued advancing under Li Xuancang's protection and with access to powerful enemies and resources to devour. 477 510 568 574

Personality

Su Xinghai is remembered by his fellow soldiers as kind and normally considerate, making his sudden bouts of bloodthirsty madness especially alarming. 374 On the battlefield, however, he is fearless, aggressive, and willing to stake his life on rapid advancement when those under Li Xuancang's protection are threatened. 290 426

He is intensely loyal to Li Xuancang and remains respectful even after surpassing most of their companions in cultivation. His determination can become dangerous recklessness: he understands that devouring others may cause another deviation, but refuses to abandon the physique that lifted his family out of poverty. 477 511

“Marquis, even if I die, I will never give up my physique.” 477
