Background

Lin Hao transmigrated into the Primordial World and awakened as the consciousness gestating within a placenta nourished by the Netherworld Blood Sea and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus. When the placenta took human form, he named himself Minghe. The Heavenly Dao exempted him from lightning tribulation, accelerated his birth, and granted him the Blood Scripture. 1

Upon learning that refining the Blood Sea could make him immortal, Minghe adopted a low-profile strategy: remain within the Sea, strengthen himself in seclusion, and avoid the karma and attention that came with early involvement in Primordial affairs. He established the Blood God Palace as his dojo and refined his accompanying treasures. 1 2

Appearance

Minghe first appears as a young boy standing upon the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. He normally wears a red robe and can suppress his aura until he appears indistinguishable from an ordinary mortal. 1 37

• Blood-red robes and a youthful human form. 1
• Accompanied by the Yuantu and Abi Swords, which circle him as sword lights. 1
• Can assume the gigantic Blood Sea True Body by drawing upon the Sea of Blood's power. 73
• Later manifests the Time-Space Twin Wings: a golden Wing of Time and a silver Wing of Void. 206
• His body ultimately becomes a world-like formation strengthened by the Chaos Five Elements Beads. 209 210

Personality

Minghe is patient, calculating, and intensely self-directed. He repeatedly declines opportunities to intervene in major conflicts when they offer little benefit, preferring seclusion, long-term cultivation, and system rewards that strengthen his own foundation. 1 23 96 103 156

He is not needlessly cruel despite his Way of Slaughter. After subduing Great Peng, he heals him, teaches him cultivation, and trades the Innate Phoenix Tree rather than forcibly taking Great Peng's Innate Yin-Yang Origin. 39 40 He also stabilizes Hongyun's remnant soul and later honors his agreement with Houtu by resurrecting the Ancestral Witches. 64 183

Minghe remains willing to kill decisively when he judges an enemy deserving of it or when his Dao demands it. He slew Zhunti, exterminated the three spirits of Xuanyuan Tomb for their harm to the Human Race, and treats combat against powerful opponents as a meaningful test rather than an inconvenience. 47 110 203

Abilities & Skills

Blood Sea Immortality

After refining the Netherworld Blood Sea, Minghe's existence became bound to it.

• If the Sea of Blood remains, Minghe can reform even after his body is destroyed. 26 72
• Zhunti's self-destruction shattered the Sea, but the Blood Sea re-formed and restored Minghe's body. 72
• Can manifest up to 480 million Blood God Son avatars from the Sea; destroyed avatars can be re-condensed. 26
• Can activate the Blood Sea True Body, drawing nearly half the Sea's power into a colossal combat form. 73

Triple Law-Based Dao Attainment

Minghe attained Dao through Laws, cultivating his Dao, physical body, and Primordial Spirit simultaneously.

• His physical body and Primordial Spirit are both bodies of Laws. 47
• His physical body can transform into his Primordial Spirit and vice versa. 79
• Can fuse both body and Primordial Spirit into the Yuantu and Abi Swords, unleashing his full cultivation through them. 49
• His body and Primordial Spirit were described as approaching the durability and power of Innate Supreme Treasures. 79

Great Dao of Slaughter

The Way of Slaughter is Minghe's central Dao and the basis of his combat power.

• The Yuantu and Abi Swords carry the Innate Path of Slaughter and can kill without generating karma. 1
• Minghe merges other comprehended Daos into Slaughter rather than maintaining them as separate paths. 54
• The Origins of Destruction and Light expanded his Slaughter Dao with devastating power, light-speed attacks, and sword-light techniques. 75
• Refining Primordial Qi of Slaughter further deepened his mastery of the Way of Slaughter. 177
• In Chaos, his Chaos Great Dao grows by integrating the cultivation, techniques, and Daos of those who cultivate the World Tree Visualization technique. 220

Five-Colored Divine Light

Minghe developed a five-element divine ability into one of his principal trump cards.

• Initially formed the Acquired Five-Colored Divine Light through comprehension of the Five Elements Laws. 13
• Refined the Innate Five-Elements Origin to turn each of its five lights into an innate divine light. 24
• The Innate Five-Colored Divine Light can sweep away anything within the Five Elements. 24
• After merging the Chaos Five Elements Beads into his organs, it evolved into Chaos Five-Colored Divine Light. 210

Formations and Body Refinement

Minghe treats his own body as a formation, a treasure, and eventually a world.

• Deduced a personal Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Array by incorporating starlight into his acupoints. 93
• Refined the Origin of Stars and formed billions of internal stars, making his body a self-contained universe and array. 101
• Tempers his body as a treasure while refining the Gate of Great Dao. 163
• Merged the Chaos Five Elements Beads into his lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, and spleen, making the organs major array cores. 209 210

Time and Space

After obtaining the Time-Space Divine Diagram, Minghe greatly expanded his command over temporal and spatial laws.

• Fully refined the Time-Space Divine Diagram, his first Chaos Supreme Treasure. 206
• Can trap opponents within the Diagram's shifting space-time labyrinths and gradually annihilate them. 206
• Comprehended the Time-Space Twin Wings, formed from the Wing of Time and the Wing of Void. 206
• The Twin Wings grant extreme speed and allow increasingly precise manipulation of time and space. 206 207

Creation, Faith, and Resurrection

Minghe possesses advanced creation methods and can use faith as a source of transformative power.

• Created the Asura Clan from the Blood Sea and established the Asura Religion with slaughter as its doctrine. 53
• Created new Ancestral Witch bodies using Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, Three Lights Divine Water, Essence Blood, and his own Great Dao Origins. 182
• Resurrected the eleven Ancestral Witches and Kuafu in Pangu Hall through the Dao of Faith. 183
• The resurrected Ancestral Witches gained purer bodies, greater potential, and the ability to develop Primordial Spirits. 183

Inner Demon Incarnation

Minghe transformed the Asura Clan's inner demons into his own and pioneered the Dao of Inner Demons. 105

• His incarnation Wuxin is the Ancestor of Inner Demons and can take over or act through sentient beings' inner demons. 132
• Wuxin can resurrect through the inner demons of sentient beings as long as such inner demons persist. 132 134
• Wuxin's inexhaustible demonic power is supplied by the continual generation of inner demons among living beings. 134
