Bei Miao

Biodata

Background and History

Bei Mingyuan created Bei Miao roughly a hundred thousand years ago as one of seven avatars, allowing him to explore the mainland without moving his continent-sized true body. Bei Miao embodies his arrogance and, like the other avatars, helped unify the Northern Underworld Continent. He is one of five avatars equipped with armor modeled after their respective martial souls 17.

As the Northern Underworld fleet approached Sea God Island, Bei Mingyuan assigned Bei Miao to the campaign. Bei Miao retrieved his Black Rhinoceros Summoner from the imperial temple, joined General Long Wei’s warship, and went ahead to confront Xiao Bai’s Demon Soul Great White Shark clan. Bei Mingyuan instructed him to capture the sharks rather than kill them so they could live on the Northern Underworld Continent 17 18.

Bei Miao offered Xiao Bai a wager: if she lost, her clan would join the Northern Underworld Empire. He knocked her unconscious with one blow, then defeated the sharks that continued to resist. After Xiao Bai conceded and led her clan away, he ordered the fleet onward. Near Sea God Island, he directed its cannons toward Sea God Hall 20 21 23 24.

Appearance

Bei Miao appears as a handsome man dressed in black. In battle, he wears Black Rhinoceros Armor 17 18.

• His armored form is associated with the water element 18 21.
• He can dismiss the armor to return to his human appearance 23.

Personality

Bei Miao is proud, combative, and quick to taunt opponents. He complains openly to Bei Mingyuan, yet follows his creator’s orders, including the instruction to spare Xiao Bai’s clan. He is affectionate toward Bei Mingxue and protective of his former disciple Long Wei 17 18 20.

He favors direct action: during the approach to Sea God Island, he suggests bombarding it into submission rather than prolonging the campaign. He also recognizes that Bei Mingyuan’s desire to make the encounter entertaining comes from long isolation and boredom 24.

Abilities and Skills

Water Control and Defense

Black Rhinoceros Armor strengthens in water, and Bei Miao can command water wherever it flows. He fights on the sea’s surface and moves underwater as freely as he does on land. Bei Minghan describes his defense as unbroken by any opponent to date 18 20 21.

• Took Xiao Bai’s water blade without injury 20.
• Used the Water Armor Shield to stop her bite, then held her jaws apart 20.
• Incapacitated Xiao Bai with a single Black Rhino Fist and subdued most of her clan underwater 20 21.

Meteor Spear Technique

Bei Miao’s modified Meteor Spear can channel Raging Waterfall Thrust, a strike that creates a colossal whirlpool and parts the sea. He used it to clear a passage for the Northern Underworld fleet; its force also killed attacking Sea Soul Beasts 20 21.

Kunpeng’s Devouring Power

As Bei Mingyuan’s avatar, Bei Miao shares his ability to devour and fuse what he absorbs. He demonstrated this by combining Ten-Year Soul Rings into a Thousand-Year Soul Ring 23.

• Collected Soul Rings and Soul Bones after the sea battle, directing most rings toward the empire’s Soul Spirit Tower and sending the dead souls into reincarnation 23.
• Identified three hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones as potential components for Soul Tool Armor 23.
