Background / History

The Blood Fiend Tower operated through hidden envoys, assassins, infiltrators, and fortified demonic strongholds. Its cultivators used black-red malevolent qi, bronze ghost masks, blood-red robes, and rank tokens to identify authority within the organization 84 120 139 176.

Its central long-term objective was to activate the Nine Nether Blood River Great Array, summon the Nine Nether Blood River into the mortal world, and use its power and the resentment of countless victims to break through to the Deity Transformation Realm 199 229. To support this plan, the Tower established seven external core array nodes and infiltrated the Azure Cloud Sect from within 137.

The Tower harvested cultivators as “materials,” “Medicine People,” and blood-sacrifice victims. Azure Cloud Sect traitors supplied captives in return for Blood Origin Pills, Blood Soul Pills, Demonic Crystals, and recorded merit 123 131. Its strongholds refined victims’ blood, vital essence, and souls into resources such as Blood Origin Pills 120.

Internal factions

Though Xue Cangqiong was publicly recognized as Tower Master, the organization was divided among three competing factions led by Xue Cangqiong, Xue Mo, and Xue He. The three leaders shared a master and maintained only a superficial peace while pursuing the same Deity Transformation goal through the Nine Nether Blood River Great Array 199.

Rank tokens

• Human-character token — carried by lower-ranking envoys, including the Foundation Establishment Blood Envoy in the hidden valley 120 121.
• Earth-character token — recovered from a slain Blood Envoy; indicated a higher rank than Human-character envoys 121.
• Xuan-character token — found on an assassin and identified as evidence of a complete Xuan-rank action team near Tianfeng City 53.
• Heaven-character token — a Heavenly Envoy Token held only by the Tower Master’s most trusted core envoys; seeing it was treated as seeing the Tower Master himself 176.

Methods and Resources

Blood sacrifice and soul refinement

The Tower drained captives’ blood, vital essence, and souls, leaving victims as shriveled husks. It used these materials to refine Blood Origin Pills and fuel sacrificial formations 119 120.

The Myriad Souls Blood Sacrifice required one thousand cultivators with special spiritual roots. Their vital blood and souls were intended to ignite a primordial soul fire in the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls 181.

• Victims were chained to bone altars and stone pillars with Nine Nether Mysterious Iron chains 120 187.
• Blood pools contained sacrificed cultivators, corpses, and resentful souls on a massive scale 185 227.
• The Tower used Blood Soul Crystals in clandestine transactions 48.

Demonic puppetry

The organization employed Demonic Puppets, including high-grade, mindless killing machines encountered in the Soul Burial Mountain Range 173.

The Vice Tower Master at the Cave of Ten Thousand Souls refined the Ghost King Guardian into a Ghost King Demonic Puppet at Golden Core Grand Perfection, using lifeblood and soul origin to increase its strength 182 183.

Infiltration and corruption

The Tower maintained covert links inside the Azure Cloud Sect:

• Elder Zhang Heng supplied thirty people as materials and received three Blood Origin Pills 123.
• Pill Hall Elder Liu supplied 372 “Medicine People” and received Demonic Crystals and Blood Soul Pills 131.
• The Tower had at least one spy embedded in the Azure Cloud Sect during its war with the sect 195.
• True Lord Xuantian of the Xuantian Sword Sect allied with the Tower after Xue Mo offered him a path toward Deity Transformation 199.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Qingyang City operations

The Tower stood behind the Wang Family’s rise and Wang Wei’s attempt to perfect the Blood Fiend Demonic Heart. Its Blood Fiend Envoy arrived in Qingyang City and pursued Chen Chen after the Wang Family conflict 25 28 29.

Blood Fiend Tower assassins later targeted Chen Chen near Tianfeng City. A transaction involving Wang Teng and Blood Soul Crystals was disrupted, and Chen Chen and Lin Yueru eventually eliminated the assassins, recovering a Xuan-character token 38 48 53.

Exposure within Azure Cloud Sect

Chen Chen traced the Tower’s malevolent qi to missing Azure Cloud Sect disciples and discovered a hidden altar where an envoy refined captured disciples into Blood Origin Pills 119 120. The recovered Merit Book exposed Azure Cloud Sect collaborators, including Elder Zhang Heng and Pill Hall Elder Liu 121 123 131.

The investigation revealed the Tower’s seven-node formation plan to transform the Azure Cloud Sect into a sea of blood 137.

Destruction of the Abyss of Fallen Gods

Chen Chen infiltrated the Abyss of Fallen Gods, identified its formation foundations, and ambushed two Mid Foundation Establishment envoys 139 140. He subsequently broke the Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation, defeated the Blood Butcher Guardian, and removed the Tower’s foremost external array eye 143 145.

Cave of Ten Thousand Souls assault

Using a Heaven-character token, Chen Chen entered Black Wind Valley under the guise of a Heavenly Envoy and gained the submission of Golden Core guards Xue Ying and Xue Quan 176. He uncovered the planned Myriad Souls Blood Sacrifice and the hidden Vice Tower Master supervising it 181.

Chen Chen destroyed the Ghost King Demonic Puppet, killed the Vice Tower Master’s Myriad Soul Demonic God, exposed the blood pool’s victims, and freed the surviving sacrifices 183 185 187.

Invasion of Azure Cloud Sect

After Xue Wuya was killed, the Tower launched a full-scale invasion of Azure Cloud Sect. Thousands of ghost-masked demonic cultivators and more than a dozen Golden Core Guardians breached the sect’s mountain-protection formation 191.

Chen Chen killed Xue Wuya, defeated the accompanying Nascent Soul Guardians, and annihilated thousands of invading Tower cultivators with the Palace of Reincarnation 192 193. Xue Cangqiong then mobilized the Tower’s high-level forces for a personal campaign of revenge 195 207.

Final collapse

The Tower’s expeditionary fleet—over one hundred Blood God Warships carrying tens of thousands of demonic cultivators—was annihilated by the Four Symbols Divine Generals 207 210. Subsequent operations targeted its remaining core array nodes, including White Bone Demon City and the Nine Nether Blood Pool 216 225 227.

The destruction of the Nine Nether Blood River Great Array’s network and the deaths of the Tower’s leadership culminated in the Blood Fiend Tower being uprooted and annihilated 232 235.
