History

Lei Qianjue intervened when the Dark-Gold Dragon Emperor was about to kill Li Zhengyang, annihilating the beast with a single Lightning Sword strike. He noted Li's ability to remain alive despite the unstable Dragon Essence within his body. 53

As the Northern Frontier's Thunder Venerable, Lei personally brought Li to the Army-Breaker Bureau and allowed him to enter its ranks. He later considered accepting Li as his final disciple after witnessing Li's unprecedented record against Martial Venerable-level enemies, but Li immediately demanded the return of his Space Ring instead. 58 81

When Li chose to remain in the Northern Frontier, Lei resigned as director of the branch and handed its authority to him. Before entering seclusion, he entrusted Li with the Army-Breaker Black Card and responsibility for the Northern Frontier's resources, intelligence, and defenses. 84 85

Lei reached the Martial Saint realm shortly before Li did. His celestial phenomenon and breakthrough were disrupted by Li's sudden advancement, prompting him to challenge Li to a spar supposedly meant to stabilize Li's realm. Lei was defeated after Li neutralized his lightning techniques and landed three decisive punches. 132 133

He continued to fight alongside Li during major Northern Frontier operations, including the pursuit of Chihong, the exploration of the ancient city, and the battle against Helian Kuang. Despite being severely wounded while delaying Helian Kuang, Lei maintained a thousand-meter lightning barrier long enough for the other Martial Saints to surround the Demon King. 107 143 181

During an Emperor-Rank beast's assault on the Defense Line, Lei activated Thunder Sacrifice despite knowing that it would consume his life. His attack injured the beast and briefly relieved the pressure suppressing the Great Xia forces, but his heart meridians and Origin Source were critically damaged. 187 188

Li later refused to abandon him, stabilizing Lei with Spirit Stones and eventually using the Blood Sea Domain and a restored Lightning Heart to reconnect his heart vessels. Lei awakened with a reborn Origin Lightning Seed, a restored prime body, and the cultivation of a Half-Step Martial Sovereign. 189 228 229

Personality

Lei is stern, proud, and deeply protective of Great Xia's Defense Lines. He repeatedly rebukes Li for risking his life over valuable Demonic Cores, yet continues to arrive when Li faces enemies beyond his apparent limits. 106 108 118

He possesses a strong competitive streak, particularly around Li. Lei reacts poorly to being surpassed, challenges Li after both become Martial Saints, and continues to boast after recovering as a Half-Step Martial Sovereign despite knowing their power gap. 133 229

Beneath his pride, Lei is self-sacrificing. He holds the line against stronger enemies, risks his life to protect the Defense Line, and uses Thunder Sacrifice when the Emperor-Rank beast threatens Great Xia's forces. 181 187
