Fang Yan

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Fang Yan awakened on Yinghuo Star as the only son of Fang Lie, the Fang Family’s Seventh Elder. He retained memories of a previous life in the Gu Insect World, where Dragon Duke killed him by crushing his body; the experience left him intensely wary of death and unwilling to risk himself for empty pride 1.

His transmigration gave him two bodies: a human body and a Spring Autumn Cicada avatar. Under the Primordial Universe’s laws, the cicada evolved into a thousandfold-genetic-level special lifeform, becoming the foundation of Fang Yan’s unusual cultivation and survival methods 1.

Although the Fang Family is predominantly fire-aligned, Fang Yan displayed exceptional wind affinity from the Stellar level onward. The family built Sky Pillar Peak for his cultivation and kept him on Yinghuo Star for protection, while his status earned him the embarrassing but influential title of “Little Holy Son” 2 5.

Fang Yan later abandoned his original human body in favor of the Cosmic Wind Haze Beast. His cultivation increasingly became distributed among a network of special-lifeform, puppet, intent, and conventional clone bodies, allowing him to pursue separate missions simultaneously while also creating a severe shared-soul vulnerability 46 47 87 109.

His long-term ambitions expanded beyond individual survival. After establishing the Heavenly Court Chaos Stele, the Gu Master School, Xun Universe, and Tianxi World, he founded Heavenly Court as a semi-independent Human Race force for unconventional experts, foreign-race recruitment, and external warfare 91 93 129 180.

Appearance

Fang Yan commonly appears in a refined human form, often wearing wide-sleeved azure robes and gold-rimmed glasses. After possessing the Cosmic Wind Haze Beast, he can return to this familiar human appearance at will 24 47.

• His Cosmic Wind Haze Beast form is a snow-white, elegant beast approximately ten kilometers long, with Wind and Time Law patterns flowing through its fur 47.
• The beast body manifests a spreading white haze when using its innate technique, Cosmic Wind Haze 47.
• When wearing the Black Lotus Battle Armor, he is covered in black armor threaded with flowing gold patterns 44.
• He can disguise himself through time-based transformation arts, including the female Black Sky Lotus identity Hei Loulan and the appearance of Red Lotus Demon Venerable 37 50.
• In later human transformations, he often adopts a dark teal or black-and-gold robe, blood-red eyes, and a scholar-like appearance that conceals his formidable aura 132 147.
• The benevolent Tianxi Puppet clone who guides Xin Qing resembles a stubbled middle-aged human man in gray robes; despite its detailed human appearance, it has no heartbeat, breath, warmth, or soul 144 218 255.
• As Heavenly Court Lord, he is also associated with silver-white hair, dark-golden robes, and an increasingly regal bearing 186 239.

Personality

Fang Yan is cautious, pragmatic, and deeply survival-oriented. He avoids unnecessary battles, safeguards his Origin Core before entering danger, and willingly lets a disposable avatar face risks rather than endanger his true foundation 18 19 28.

He has a sarcastic, theatrical sense of humor and frequently masks serious calculations with jokes, poetry, or grand speeches. His public declaration of devotion to humanity was initially improvised to satisfy the Hong Alliance’s evaluators, though the trust shown by Chaos Lord gradually gives that commitment more sincerity 10 11 26.

In combat, Fang Yan considers effectiveness more valuable than conventional honor. He uses evasion, ambushes, time manipulation, and God-Killing Powder without hesitation, calling such methods “wisdom” when confronting stronger opponents 16 17 31.

His time among the Black Sky Lotus Race complicates this ruthlessness. While infiltrating them, he develops genuine attachment to Hei Sisi, Hei Miaomiao, and Black Sky Overlord, ultimately risking himself to preserve the race’s future 38 40 43.

As his power increases, Fang Yan becomes more willing to use deception, soul enslavement, mass slaughter, and the conversion of enemies into cultivation resources. He is capable of offering generous protection to allies and disciples while remaining emotionally detached toward opponents, servants, and even figures close to him 97 159 180 257 277.

Despite this ruthlessness, Fang Yan values potential and institution-building. He creates accessible manuals, cultivation paths, discipleship trials, Chaos Stele inheritances, and resources for younger generations rather than hoarding all knowledge for himself 91 93 94 123.

Abilities & Skills

Spring Autumn Cicada Avatar

Fang Yan’s cicada avatar is a colossal special lifeform with a thousandfold genetic level. It is his greatest source of raw power and safeguards his Origin Core when he sends other bodies into danger 1 19.

• Possesses immense base strength; after completing the Divine General Legacy, its base combat power reaches the peak King-sealing level 22.
• Can absorb Time Law directly from the Primordial Universe’s Law Ocean during Fang Yan’s Immortal breakthrough 47.
• Its exceptionally durable Origin Core initially prevents Fang Yan from breaking through by conventional means 27.
• Cannot fuse with Xun Cosmic Crystals 24.
• Converts slain opponents’ divine bodies into Dao Marks within Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom, allowing battlefield casualties to fuel its genetic evolution 55 106 277.
• Its genetic multiplier rises to 20,000-fold after the Three Swords Alliance massacre, developing increasingly complex law patterns and a vastly enlarged body 277.
• Shares soul-related risks with Fang Yan’s other clones; enslavement of one body could endanger the entire network 87.

Time Reversal

The Spring Autumn Cicada’s innate secret technique reverses events within a limited area. At the World Lord stage, Fang Yan can reverse one minute inside a ten-meter radius, either excluding or including himself in the reversal 1 6.

• Restores consumed cultivation resources, including Wind Crystal Spirit Fruits and the Wind Origin Crystal, without undoing Fang Yan’s gained comprehension 1 4.
• Heals lethal injuries, reverses poison damage, repairs clothing, and restores destroyed cells 6.
• Saved Fang Yan after his human avatar was destroyed by Black Sky Lotus petals by reversing ten seconds of local time 35.
• He conceals its true nature by calling it the restorative innate technique Three Qi Return 8.
• Its larger-scale use can reverse battlefield damage across the Dawn Zone, but requires extraordinary support from the Law Ocean 42.
• By the Ancestral God Cult period, its usable duration expands to one cosmic day and its range increases substantially 87.
• It can reconstruct destroyed treasures, including the Sea-Heaven Nine Colors, and later resurrects Hai Xi’s pet Youyou despite the backlash normally associated with restoring life 155 156.
• Fang Yan exploits it to restore closed Thousand Treasures Hall gates and evade restrictive inheritance rules, though such actions can attract the Primordial Universe’s Will 156.

Time Shuttle and Time Pause

Fang Yan developed Time Shuttle as an offensive Time Law technique, changing his fighting style from purely restorative to actively lethal 7.

• Time Shuttle forms a shuttle-shaped temporal attack that strikes an enemy’s divine body and impedes evasion 7.
• It ages and destroys targets, allowing Fang Yan to kill peak World Lord Divining Wind Beasts and harvest their Wind Origin Essence 19.
• Time Pause freezes surrounding space and can immobilize weaker Immortals long enough for Fang Yan to kill them with the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear 30.
• Powerful opponents can resist Time Pause by burning divine body strength 30.
• He later masters time acceleration and incorporates it into his wide-area Wind-Time techniques, increasing their speed by a factor of one hundred 65.
• His later pursuit of Time Deceleration requires comprehension of the Light and Thunder Laws 95.

Wind-Time Fusion: *Late Wind*

Late Wind is Fang Yan’s self-created top-tier secret technique, fusing the Laws of Wind and Time. He spent more than 100,000 years deducing, revising, and testing it before Black Sky Overlord supplied the insight that completed it 33 40.

• Can be executed with the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear or the World-Ending Sword 45 48.
• Its sword form can silently erase roughly 30% of an Initial King’s divine body 48.

• With the Black Lotus Battle Armor and Hei Lian’s power, it delivered the decisive strike against Venerable Yu Qing 45.
• He continues adapting Late Wind for the Moon God Sword and later uses it as a core technique against King-level and Venerable-level enemies 55 72 155.
• The eighth-order Wind-Time Fusion technique Bright Moon, Flowing Water, Dewy Spring Breeze, left by Wind-Fixing Devil God, becomes a future reference beyond Fang Yan’s then-current comprehension 215.

Mountain Wind Urges Rain to Life

Mountain Wind Urges Rain to Life is Fang Yan’s large-scale Immortal Dao killing move, created by integrating the Laws of Wind and Time into the Rain Sword Immortal Gu 61.

• Produces countless water swords wrapped in wind force that interweave over a broad area like a torrential storm 61.
• Can instantly kill an Immortal Army Lord, though its wide area limits it below peak secret-technique power before later improvements 61.
• Time acceleration allows the water swords to move one hundred times faster, devastating King-level formations and demon outposts 65.
• He uses the technique for battlefield suppression, ambushes, and mass slaughter while selecting weakened survivors for soul enslavement 61 72 97.

Xun Cosmic Power

Fang Yan fused six Xun Cosmic Crystals directly through his blood after discovering that the Spring Autumn Cicada could not absorb them 24.

• Produces blue-silver patterns across his body when activated 24.
• Grants approximately a 2.5-fold strength enhancement after six crystals 24.
• He believes fusing all ten crystals could provide a tenfold enhancement 24.

Cosmic Wind Haze Beast

After receiving a special-lifeform reward from Chaos Lord, Fang Yan possesses the Cosmic Wind Haze Beast, a 520-fold-genetic-level body suited to Wind-Time Fusion 46.

• Cosmic Wind Haze — creates a white haze domain equivalent to a domain treasure’s effect 46 47.
• Transformation — can assume the appearance of forms it has seen 46.
• Cosmic Wind Body — grants natural compatibility with the Wind-Time Fusion Law path 46.
• The haze isolates enemies, conceals Fang Yan’s movements, interferes with rescue attempts, and allows him to dictate the pace of multi-target engagements 55 72.
• Its genetic multiplier later rises to 1,008-fold, forming the physical foundation of his Invincible King-level strength 72.

Gu Master School and Immortal Gu

Fang Yan preserves and adapts the Gu World’s cultivation traditions, establishing the Gu Master School as a third path alongside warrior and spiritualist cultivation 93 94.

• Uses Gu Worms to manipulate laws, souls, minds, transformations, scouting, and killer moves; he teaches that sufficient Gu can allow lower-realm cultivators to threaten opponents far above their ordinary level 99 144.
• Created the Red Lotus Secret Manual, a 1,008-volume collection comprising the Wind Path Treatise, Years Treatise, and Cosmic Wind Treatise 94.
• Uses Toward Dusk, a Rank Six Immortal Gu whose yellow sunlight melts enemies’ bodies and annihilated the Blood Hand Group 145.
• Uses As You Please Immortal Gu to generate intent-based puppet clones, including Fang Tu, Yan Guang, and Yan Feng 125 280.
• Gains a Rank Nine Time Immortal Gu that can form two yin-yang phantoms equal to his full strength and merge them into himself for a threefold increase in effective power 280.

Tianxi Puppets and Clone Network

After inheriting the Tianxi civilization, Fang Yan gains extensive Mechanical Path knowledge, Tianxi Puppets, and the ability to create specialized puppet bodies 100 129.

• Thousand Mechanisms Lockheart is the foundational Tianxi puppet-control manual, requiring the ability to command one thousand same-level puppets 100 101.
• The Successor secret treasure can copy a target’s law-comprehension intensity up to the High-Level Venerable level 100.
• Tianxi Puppet bodies can be imbued with As You Please Immortal Gu intent and operate as distinct extensions of Fang Yan’s will 125 134.
• Fang Jin oversees Heavenly Court’s internal affairs and later receives the Five-Finger Fist-Heart Sword 194 280.
• Fang Shui, Yan Lei, Fang Tu, Yan Guang, and Yan Feng are specialized clones empowered with different Immortal Gu and combat roles 237 280 281.
• The benevolent Fang Yan clone assigned to Xin Qing carries goodwill intent and is explicitly distinct from Fang Yan’s true body 218 255.

Tianxi World

Tianxi World is the transformed Tianxi Secret Realm and a supreme mechanical domain treasure under Fang Yan’s complete control 129.

• Can manifest a billion-kilometer mechanical domain, reshape its internal territory, and exert immense domain suppression 129 132.
• Its golden machinery combines with Cosmic Wind Haze and allied domains to trap and annihilate large groups of Universe Masters 277.
• Fang Yan later fuses Tianxi World with One Leaf World, granting the mechanical legacy vitality and developing its potential further 288.
• When combined with Fang Yan’s sixth-order strength, it permits him to contend with a Seventh-Order True God, though not decisively defeat one 280.

Soul Techniques and Dao Mark Cultivation

Fang Yan possesses powerful soul-control methods, though his distributed clone system makes soul attacks a serious concern 87 211.

• Uses the soul enslavement technique Slave Me, Yet My Heart Faces the Mirror in Chaos to subdue powerful special lifeforms, including Cold Whale Overlord 197.
• Uses Nine Reincarnation Slashes to kill targets and convert their divine bodies into Dao Marks while sealing their purified soul origins as Gallstones within Soul Shaking Mountain 257 306.
• Crushing Gallstones allows Fang Yan to absorb the souls of his slain enemies and strengthen his own soul to Fourth-Order Universe Master level 257.
• The Sea-Watching Pavilion protects his consciousness from most soul threats, but even it nearly fails against a soul-type supreme treasure in the Universe Boat 87 211.

Disguise and Infiltration

Fang Yan is highly capable of concealment, identity manipulation, and social performance. His Gu World experience complements time-based auxiliary arts such as Borrowed Corpse Illusory Form 36.
