Background / History
The Pig Demon spent a long period in seclusion beneath Wild Boar Ridge. When he emerged, the herd informed him that his only son had been killed by the Human Race. Enraged by the loss, he summoned the entire boar herd and led it against the Wind-Fire Tribe, dismissing humanity as insignificant 27.
He had encountered the nearby humans before his son's death and believed their strength was comparable to his child's. The news surprised him because of the wild boars' strong physical defenses and because other boars had accompanied his son. He regretted not having exterminated the humans earlier 27.
On the march, he demonstrated his overwhelming superiority by effortlessly subduing and devouring a white Snake Demon at the middle Earth Immortal stage. The Eagle King witnessed this and warned the Wind-Fire Tribe that a dangerous Demon Race expert was approaching 27.
His invasion stalled outside the Wind-Fire Tribe for five days. The defenders used frozen slopes, rolling logs, boulders, and attrition to exhaust his herd, while the Pig Demon failed to recognize the worsening condition of his troops until Iron Mountain broke through to Earth Immortal 28.
He then entered the battle personally, overpowering Feng Xi and resisting the combined attacks of several Earth Immortals. Although his body proved extraordinarily difficult to harm, the defenders gradually exhausted him through a rotating assault. Feng Xu disrupted his Devouring ability with Taiji martial arts and repeatedly threw him off balance 29.
After assuming a true form more than two thousand feet long, the Pig Demon was restrained by the Eagle King using the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web. He swallowed Feng Xu, but the other defenders concentrated their attacks on his abdomen while Feng Xu struck from within. The Pig Demon was ultimately killed; the Eagle King consumed his inner core before entering seclusion 29 30 31.
After his death, the allied Human Race tribes cleared Wild Boar Ridge of the remaining herd. The Wind-Fire Tribe received his corpse and the piglets under the agreed division of spoils. Exploration beneath the ridge subsequently revealed a cavern containing a spirit pool, purple crystals, and exceptionally dense spiritual energy, which Feng Xu regarded as an explanation for the Pig Demon's high cultivation 31 32.
His remains continued to support the Wind-Fire Tribe's development. Pig Demon essence blood was among the materials available for Feng Xu's Bloodline Secret Art, while his bones were designated for housing at the tribe's planned central settlement. Feng Xu also planned to refine his body into magical artifacts to equip the tribe's warriors 32 33.
Appearance
In humanoid form, the Pig Demon was a muscular, black-haired figure with a pig’s face and a human body. He stood roughly ten feet tall, appearing small beside Human Race warriors using Bloodline Power despite his far greater strength 27 29.
- Human body with a pig’s head and face 27 28
- Muscular physique covered in black hair 27
- Could transform into a colossal boar exceeding two thousand feet in length 29
- Possessed an exceptionally durable hide and flesh that resisted Dharma Artifacts and Earth Immortal attacks 28 29
- His corpse was later described as a hundred-zhang boar demon when Feng Xu planned its use for construction and artifact refinement 33
Personality
The Pig Demon was arrogant, vengeful, and contemptuous of the Human Race. His campaign against the Wind-Fire Tribe was driven by grief over his only son’s death, which he considered an irreconcilable offense 27.
Despite his immense personal power, he was an ineffective commander. His long seclusion and confidence in his own cultivation left him unable to judge the hunger, fatigue, and declining morale of his herd. He continued ordering assaults until the boars were too exhausted to fight effectively 28.
His patience, developed through long periods of cultivation, also contributed to his failure. He regarded five days of unsuccessful attacks as insignificant compared with the time he spent in seclusion, and assumed that his followers could recover completely after a single night's rest 28.
Once confronted by coordinated resistance, his arrogance turned to anger. He underestimated Feng Xu because of his age and could not adapt effectively to Taiji-based redirection and wrestling techniques 29.
He was also ruthless toward other demons. Despite the white Snake Demon's pleas for mercy, he treated its appearance as a convenient meal after his long seclusion and declared that its death was its fated tribulation 27.
Power Progression
| Stage / Event | Realm / Development | Demonstrated Capabilities | Chapter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emergence from seclusion | Late Earth Immortal; already capable of assuming humanoid form | Effortlessly immobilized and devoured a middle Earth Immortal white Snake Demon | 27 |
| Personal entry into the tribal defense battle | Late Earth Immortal; no new breakthrough recorded | Crossed the frozen defensive slope, incapacitated sentries, blocked the Redfire Saber with his arm, and overpowered Feng Xi | 28 |
| Rotating battle against the Human Race defenders | Late Earth Immortal | Withstood five Earth Immortal fighters, used a dharma-powered roar, and attempted mass Devouring; his stamina and balance became exploitable weaknesses | 29 |
| Return to his colossal boar form | True-form transformation; no realm advancement recorded | Exceeded two thousand feet in length and generated powerful Devouring suction, but was restrained by the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web | 29 |
| Final restraint and death | Late Earth Immortal at death | Resisting the net occupied his strength, allowing concentrated external attacks and Feng Xu's internal attacks; his inner core was subsequently consumed by the Eagle King | 30 31 |
Abilities & Skills
Late Earth Immortal Cultivation
The Pig Demon was identified as a Late Earth Immortal and was regarded as far stronger than the Human Race’s early Earth Immortal defenders 27 28.
- Easily subdued a middle Earth Immortal white Snake Demon 27
- Overpowered Feng Xi with a single collision after blocking the Redfire Saber with his arm 28
- Could fight several Earth Immortal-level opponents at once 29
- Possessed an inner core despite most Demon Race cultivators reportedly being unable to form one before True Immortal 31
Feng Xu suspected that the inner core indicated a fortunate opportunity beyond ordinary cultivation. The later discovery of the blessed land beneath Wild Boar Ridge provided a possible explanation for his unusually high cultivation, though the precise origin of his inner core was not established 31 32.
Exceptional Physical Defense
His fleshly body was nearly impervious to the defenders’ weapons and direct attacks.
- Lin Sen’s Dragon-Snake Bow penetrated his body only slightly 29
- Jiang Ze’s full-force strike was stopped effortlessly with one hand 29
- Feng Sui and Iron Mountain could only inflict minor injury with overwhelming enlarged attacks 29
- His defenses appeared weaker after he returned to his colossal original boar form, allowing Feng Sui’s axe to cut through his hide; the wounds nevertheless remained shallow relative to his enormous body 29
- Concentrated attacks on his abdomen finally opened a substantial wound while the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web restrained him 30
Devouring
The Pig Demon could use Devouring to consume prey far larger than himself and refine it within his body.
- Devoured the white Snake Demon whole after immobilizing it 27
- Could shrink oversized prey while swallowing it, a devouring ability described as commonly used by ferocious beasts 27
- Attempted to pull multiple Earth Immortal defenders into his mouth through powerful suction 29
- Swallowed Feng Xu despite being restrained by the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web 29
- His stomach continuously drained Feng Xu’s magical power and stamina 30
- The ability was difficult to use during the defenders’ fast-paced rotating assault because it was repeatedly interrupted 29
After escaping, Feng Xu told the tribal leaders that being refined by the Pig Demon's magic power inside its stomach had caused problems with his body, preventing him from participating in the subsequent clearance of Wild Boar Ridge 31.
True-Form Transformation
The Pig Demon could enlarge into an enormous boar form.
- Transformed into a Pig Demon over two thousand feet long 29
- Increased the scale and pull of his Devouring ability in this form 29
- Became vulnerable to coordinated attacks while the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web restrained his colossal body and forced him to concentrate on resisting the treasure 29 30
Roar and Dharma Power
He could channel dharma power through a deafening roar that disrupted nearby opponents.
- The roar shook the earth, broke trees, and left the defenders dizzy and unsteady 29
- He used the opening created by the roar to activate Devouring 29
- Could condense dharma power to blast Feng Xu away without interrupting his initial Devouring attempt 29
Combat Limitations
Despite his strength and durability, the Pig Demon had significant weaknesses in technique and mobility.
- Speed was not his specialty; Lin Sen's agile movements allowed him to evade the demon's attacks repeatedly 29
- He had only recently taken human form and was not proficient at fighting with a humanoid body 29
- His weak lower-body stability and unstable center of gravity allowed Feng Xu to throw him using Taiji martial arts and wrestling 29
- His brute force could be redirected or interrupted, although Feng Xu still lacked the power to injure him directly 29
- Resisting the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web left him unable to suppress either the defenders attacking his abdomen or Feng Xu striking from inside his stomach 30
Relationships
- Unnamed son — His only offspring; the son’s death at human hands motivated the Pig Demon’s campaign of revenge 27.
- Wild Boar Ridge herd — Their leader; he summoned the herd to destroy the Wind-Fire Tribe, but failed to recognize their exhaustion during the prolonged siege 27 28.
- Feng Xu — Primary opponent during the tribal defense battle; Feng Xu repeatedly countered his Devouring and destabilized him with Taiji martial arts. After being swallowed, Feng Xu attacked him internally with the Heaven-Hanging Ruler and later oversaw plans to use his remains for cultivation, construction, and artifact refinement 29 30 32 33.
- Feng Sui, Feng Xi, Jiang Ze, Iron Mountain, and Lin Sen — Human Race Earth Immortals who fought him in a coordinated rotating assault. Feng Sui led the concentrated attack on his abdomen after Feng Xu was swallowed 28 29 30.
- Eagle King — Observed his approach, warned the Wind-Fire Tribe, restrained him with the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, and later consumed his inner core 27 29 31.
- White Snake Demon — A middle Earth Immortal demon he crushed and devoured during his march toward the Wind-Fire Tribe 27.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Demon Race’s Revenge
After leaving seclusion, the Pig Demon learned of his son’s death and rallied Wild Boar Ridge’s boars for a retaliatory invasion. His effortless killing of a white Snake Demon established him as a major threat to the surrounding Human Race tribes 27.
Tribal Defense Battle
He led more than a hundred Pig Demons against the Wind-Fire Tribe in winter. The tribe delayed and exhausted the herd through terrain, supply advantages, and repeated defensive measures before he personally entered the fight 28.
Wheel of Battles
The Pig Demon dominated the initial direct confrontation, but the Human Race’s Earth Immortals developed a rotating formation that wore him down. Feng Xu’s Taiji martial arts exposed the weaknesses in his humanoid fighting style and unstable lower body 29.
Death and Clearance of Wild Boar Ridge
He swallowed Feng Xu during his final Devouring attempt but was trapped by the Eagle King’s net and attacked from both outside and within. His corpse became Wind-Fire Tribe property, while the Eagle King claimed and consumed his inner core 30 31.
With their leader dead, the remaining boars were driven back toward Wild Boar Ridge and slaughtered by the allied tribes. Feng Xu, unable to fight because of his injuries, surveyed the ridge's suitability for farming and settlement instead. The victory opened the area for Human Race expansion 31.
Posthumous Contribution to Tribal Development
The cavern beneath the Pig Demon's former territory became a cultivation resource for Feng Xu, while Pig Demon essence blood supported his Bloodline Secret Art. Because the available beast bloodlines were limited to the Wolf King and Pig Demon, Feng Xu recommended foundational cultivation-method Battle Marks rather than bloodline-dependent transformation or random divine abilities 32.
The tribe planned to use the Pig Demon's bones to build houses at Wild Boar Ridge, which was to become its central residential area. Feng Xu's subsequent seclusion included plans to refine the Late Earth Immortal demon's remains into magical artifacts for the warriors 33.

Trivia
- The blessed land beneath Wild Boar Ridge was believed to be a major reason for the Pig Demon’s unusually high cultivation 32.
- Chapter 39 refers retrospectively to a “Late Mysterious Immortal Pig Demon,” despite the Pig Demon being identified during the invasion and in Feng Xu's later artifact-refinement plans as Late Earth Immortal. In that comparison, Feng Sui considered the enormous Poison Bee swarm harder to handle because the Pig Demon, although powerful, had been only a single opponent 28 33 39.
- The leading Pig Demon killed during the opening attack on the tribe is distinct from the surviving Wild Boar Ridge chieftain introduced in Chapter 27; the earlier death should not be treated as this chieftain's first appearance or death 1 27.
