Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal; sixth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art	47 49	Both body and cultivation reach the realm’s peak. His body can withstand a High-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, while his improved foundation raises his cultivation speed and future potential.
Mid Quasi-Saint physical body; perfected seventh revolution	100	A pool of Three Lights Divine Water brings his body from early to mid Quasi-Saint. Physical strength alone can crush a High-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure.
Late Quasi-Saint physical body	220	Advances from mid to late Quasi-Saint during one thousand years of body-tempering in Pangu Hall.
Peak Quasi-Saint; Self Corpse and Evil Corpse merged	223 224	The Greater Demons’ allegiance supplies a surge of fortune, completing the corpse merger and refinement of primordial purple qi. Heavenly Dao simultaneously recognizes him as Demon Emperor.
Pinnacle Quasi-Saint cultivation	233	Reported after another hundred years of cultivation. He refines eighteen restrictions of the Chaos Pearl; further refinement and the remaining World-Creation Axe strikes require Sagehood.
Sage / Primordial Unity Great Luo Golden Immortal	242 251 347	Attains Sagehood, then spends one thousand years stabilizing the realm in the Chaos Void.
Third heaven of Primordial Unity Great Luo Golden Immortal	351	Fortune and the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos accelerate his breakthrough. He concurrently studies the third of the Nine World-Creation Axes.
Further Sage-realm breakthrough; exact heaven unspecified	592	Fuses Sage Power with chaos power, breaking a realm barrier. A Tribulation Punishment Eye appears above the Heavenly Court.
Eighth heaven of the Saint Realm	949 950	Explicitly described as having advanced beyond the seventh heaven. He destroys three false ninth-heaven Saint Realm opponents with one punch.
Ninth heaven of the Saint Realm	1045 1066	Immense energy shatters the Gate of Realms within his body. Absorbing phantom force grants intangibility and altered perception; his control of chaos energy improves dramatically.
Pinnacle ninth heaven of the Saint Realm	1185	Nears the Heavenly Dao Realm while studying technological weapons from another world.
Strength approaching an Ultimate Powerhouse	1329 1340	Forging and combat improve his strength and precision. His remaining bottleneck is applying that refined control at full power.
Ultimate Powerhouse	1365 1366	A forging insight breaks his bottleneck. He completes the breakthrough outside the Primordial World and discovers unexplained law-chains around himself that do not restrict his movement or power.

More than three thousand internal worlds evolved to the Primordial World’s level	2020 2026	Reinforces his acupoints and advances his internal worlds, completing the accumulation needed for another breakthrough attempt. His subsequent enlightenment expands his understanding of strength beyond destruction.
Great Spirit God — battlefield assessment	2078	A flying-sword squad leader describes him as a Great Spirit God. The supplied account does not show the intervening breakthrough.
Improved physical aptitude through Great Dao baptism	2092	Benefits from the Primordial World devouring a great spacetime world; its Great Dao washes through his body and raises his aptitude.

• Combat strength is not interchangeable with cultivation. He can contend with ninth-heaven Saint Realm opponents before possessing that cultivation, and later receives Overlord certification while remaining a Perfection Realm cultivator 819 1708.
• Some realm descriptions differ between chapters. Chapter 224 calls him peak Quasi-Saint before Chapter 233 reports pinnacle Quasi-Saint cultivation. Chapter 1629 describes his strength as Perfection Realm, but Chapter 1642 still identifies him as Great Accomplishment; Chapter 1656 explicitly narrates his Perfection breakthrough 224 233 1629 1642 1656.

Appearance

Daochen’s usual human appearance is handsome and otherworldly, with swordlike brows, star-bright eyes, and a gentle smile. He emerges from Pangu Hall wearing a long golden robe 220.

• Concealed muscular form: Can expand into a hulking physique, bursting through his clothing. He normally hides this form to mislead opponents 1535.
• Golden Crow true form: An enormous Three-Legged Golden Crow whose presence causes Alliance leaders to reassess his strength 1487.
• Golden Crow flames: Sometimes appears enveloped in divine flame, sharply raising the surrounding temperature 350.
• World-bearing wings: His golden wings contain the acupoint into which he incorporates the Water Kingdom 1656.
• White robes: Wears white when emerging to confront Angel Chief Allen 1913.

Personality

Daochen fiercely values independence. He refuses the Demon Emperor position before Heavenly Dao recognition makes it unavoidable, reacting furiously when the Greater Demons bind him to their race’s affairs. Much later, he rejects the Angel Empire’s vassal terms rather than surrender eighty percent of the Primordial World’s annual resources for inadequate protection 141 223 224 1804.

His courtesy and generosity coexist with intimidation. He apologizes to the cultivators who waited a hundred years for his preaching, exchanges a suitable treasure for the Queen Mother of the West’s banner, and compensates the God-Level Master after damaging his workshop. Against opponents, he readily uses mockery, threats, deception, and overwhelming force 49 147 1616.

He is protective but insists on self-reliance. His disciples receive treasures and cultivation insights, yet must consolidate their own foundations and resolve personal difficulties themselves. He likewise trains his children because he recognizes that he may not always be able to protect them 347 1176 1624.

Daochen’s confidence can become recklessness, but he does not regard retreat as shameful. He flees an unfavorable confrontation with Ultimate Powerhouses, exploits his immunity to extreme cold, and draws his pursuer into the enemy’s own army. When the Death Mist threatens forces under his protection, he abandons his desire to test himself and leads successive withdrawals 1312 1721.

His treatment of outsiders is sharply situational. He saves Luo Hou despite betrayal and purifies the suffering dead within a Spacetime Furnace, but refuses the Weird World’s surrender and orders resisting enemy troops exterminated when he judges them a future threat 1257 1498 1584 2101.

He enjoys battle far more than routine administration, leaving much of the Demon Realm’s government to Nüwa. Nevertheless, he becomes increasingly involved in military organization, resource distribution, territorial rules, and technological development 1453 1545 1784.

Abilities & Skills

Great Dao of Strength and Force-Based Cultivation

• Exceptional physical foundations: Develops his body down to individual cells; each can release tremendous power, while every breath stores vast energy 1596.
• Combat above his realm: Overpowers Perfection Realm opponents while at Great Accomplishment and later defeats Hongmeng Realm squads while classified as Perfection Realm 1533 1709.
• Precise force control: Learns to resist attacks and inflict damage with minimal expenditure. Applying that efficiency at full strength becomes a major cultivation bottleneck 1340.
• Bodily compression: Painfully compresses his giant body and accumulated energy after a breakthrough. A slight movement of his compressed little finger shatters Chaos Space 1045.
• Broader understanding of strength: Eventually recognizes creation, laws, love, and faith as forms of power rather than treating strength solely as a means of destruction 2026.

Nine Revolutions Mystic Art

• Reaches the sixth revolution at peak Great Luo Golden Immortal and perfects the seventh while attaining a mid Quasi-Saint body 47 100.
• Produces resilience sufficient to withstand, then physically crush, High-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures 47 100.
• Adapts the art into a separate body-tempering technique for Dijun and Taiyi because the system refuses to let him impart the original directly 101.

Golden Crow Fire and Other Flames

• Solar and pure-yang fire: His Golden Crow bloodline grants flames capable of countering soul-freezing extreme-cold poison 1311 1312.
• Soul restoration: Uses solar flames to thaw Luo Hou’s frozen sea of souls and restore his consciousness 1257.
• Blood Flame: Instantly destroys the Celestial Person’s physical doppelganger and absorbs its essence 1225.
• Red Lotus Karmic Fire: Hunts concealed Weird World beings and burns regenerating Perfection Realm enemies to ash 1498 1584.
• Anti-transformation application: His mysterious flames burn through the Lord of Darkness’s black-mist form, forcing him back into a physical body 1468.

Phantom Force and Chaos Energy

• Absorbs an unfamiliar energy from Phantom Worms and names it phantom force 1045.
• Gains intangibility and perceives reality through energy, non-energy, and the gaps between them 1045.
• Improves chaos-energy absorption and conversion from inefficient partial use to near-perfect utilization 1035 1045.
• His accompanying bodily growth threatens his agility and mental sharpness, prompting compression rather than uncontrolled expansion 1045.

World Creation and Internal Worlds

• Demon Realm creation: Uses his own heart as a medium for the realm’s Heavenly Dao, replicating the Primordial World’s Great Dao upon the separated Northern Demon Territory 798.
• Realm authority: Establishes a world whose Heavenly Dao belongs to him, providing a route away from the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s control 798.
• Acupoint cultivation: Incorporates worlds into his body, reshapes their laws, and receives power from them 1656 1718.
• Origin consumption: His unusual stone body can swallow a Six-Star origin and convert it into world power—something the Eternals consider impossible for an ordinary living being 1736.
• Internal populations: Deploys nearly one hundred million cultivators for a rear attack, then summons over one hundred billion inhabitants to gather resources 2098.
• Limits: Advancing thousands of internal worlds risks rupturing his body. The Primordial World’s soul also unleashes world power through him strongly enough to injure him 1913 2020.

Combat Arts and Invincible Aura

• Extreme Speed: Makes him difficult to perceive or intercept, including against Perfection Realm opponents 1514 1535.
• Sword Slash and Blade Slash: Uses both with the Heaven Measuring Ruler against three Great Accomplishment opponents 1521.
• Weapon-independent Slash: Immediately understands the God-Level Master’s explanation that perfected Slash is not bound to a sword, blade, or even a weapon 1616.
• Invincible Aura: Briefly stuns enemy commanders, creating an opening to kill their leader 1521.
• Nine World-Creation Axes: Learns the technique from Pangu’s remnant soul and studies its third axe alongside a Sage-realm breakthrough 233 351.

Fate Perception and Curse Removal

• Can perceive the Power of Fate even when the Heavenly Dao cannot detect its influence 865.
• Absorbs the fate curse afflicting Taiyi, Dijun, and Hongjun, restoring their missing hands while withholding his method 823.
• Places concealed restraining seals on searchers’ rings and bodies to locate Qingchan and Qingxuan without giving Fate an obvious connection to himself 880.
• Despite these advantages, he cannot simply locate Fate or predict all of its schemes 836 865.

Formations and Spatial Techniques

• Innate Five Elements Formation: Collects all five directional banners for a defense he believes can withstand the Twelve Ancestral Witches’ Pangu True Form 98 147.
• Aura concealment: Uses that formation to hide the effects of his breakthroughs within the Demon Emperor Palace 351.
• Illusion formations: Builds environments for will-tempering, conceals the Primordial World, and makes his children spar without their habitual restraint 1420 1487 1624.
• Six-Realm arrangement: Plans a Hexagonal Star Formation using the realms’ origins to stabilize them in Chaos and encourage their connection 1176.
• Spatial observation: Identifies an assassin’s concealment as movement through neighboring space rather than ordinary invisibility 1207.

Forging

• Learns forging under the Little Demon Emperor to improve both military equipment and his control of strength 1321.
• Pursues a Personal Heavenly Dao-Class Heaven Measuring Ruler by incorporating his origin, will, momentum, laws, rare materials, and primordial purple qi 1469.
• Later receives a harsh assessment: the old Personal Weapon can channel only about thirty percent of his power and has little growth potential 1616.
• Experiments with attribute compatibility when forging Qingchan’s heavy sword, correcting an initial failure caused by strength materials overwhelming its fire affinity 1624.

Buddhist Dao and Purification

• Develops his own War Buddha path by merging the essence of Buddhist Great Daos with his cultivation 2065.
• Studies the Buddha Realm’s origin and vow power to accelerate his understanding 2066.
• Deploys Buddhist cultivators at the front of squads because Primordial World Buddha Power resists Dark Beast corruption 2098.
• Uses Buddhist power and the Rebirth Mantra to purify the resentment of dead powerhouses within a Spacetime Furnace 2101.

Teaching and Military Command

• Tailors public Dao lectures to beginner cultivators rather than teaching beyond his own understanding 49.
• Enhances 635 demons into Saint Realm experts, organizes balanced formations, and drills them against Resentment Aggregates 976.
• Supplies Energy Blocks and concentrated-energy formations; all two thousand trainees reach the Heavenly Dao Realm by the ninth year of an intensive training period 1469.
• Uses sparring to expose weaknesses, including Hongjun’s shallow grasp of too many laws instead of deep specialization 1468.
• Establishes contribution-based access to resources, advancement opportunities, and council membership 1488 1545.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Heaven Measuring Ruler / Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler — His first weapon and a symbol of his cultivation journey. Considered as a vessel for his Good Corpse, later repeatedly upgraded and developed into a Personal Heavenly Dao-Class weapon. Its internal space once held the Primordial World 140 1469 1498.
• God-Slaying Spear — Destroys a Quasi-Saint opponent’s Primordial Spirit 140.
• Five Innate Directional Banners — Components of the Innate Five Elements Formation. Completes the set by obtaining the Plain-Colored Cloud-Boundary Banner from the Queen Mother of the West 147.
• Chaos Pearl — Sent by Hongjun as a congratulatory gift after his recognition as Demon Emperor. At pinnacle Quasi-Saint, he can refine only eighteen of its eighty-one primordial purple restrictions 223 233.
• Heavenly Dao-Class Hand Axe — Used during his travels beyond the Primordial World; described as a sharp, heavy weapon rather than one personally suited to him 1405 1411.
• Kindling — Defensive support treasure that strengthens his body and absorbs most of a Heavenly Dao-Class sword strike, leaving pain but no mortal injury 1329.
• Forging Crystal — Delivered by Chaos Heaven from Pan King Zhou, providing the means to pursue a Personal Heavenly Dao-Class weapon 1366 1411.
• Warhammer / Heaven-Shaking Hammer — The God-Level Master recommends a Personal Warhammer; Daochen later uses a warhammer against a half-step Hongmeng puppet and the Heaven-Shaking Hammer against Hongmeng Realm squads 1616 1629 1709.
• Special stone hammer — Resists Golden Crow fire, spiritual power, Sage power, laws, and primordial purple qi during forging tests 1616.
• Mustard Seed / Sumeru Mustard Seed Space — Holds the Primordial World and other realms. Reinforced with spatial minerals, but cannot expand indefinitely with the growing world 1176 1498.
• Hidden World Orb — Retrieved as an emergency means of taking the Primordial World away from danger; later judged unreliable amid powerful battles 1549 1570.
• Energy Blocks and energy crystals — Supplies cultivation energy to trainees and reserves his final crystals for Qingchan and Qingxuan’s advancement 1469 1498.
• Guaiwo — Enormous ninth-heaven Saint Realm Chaos beast subdued as his mount. Daochen spares its tribe at its request 1075 1076.

Relationships

Family and Disciples

• Dijun — Younger brother who regards Daochen as both elder brother and father figure. Receives his protection, body-tempering instruction, and help toward Sagehood 49 101 616.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi — Younger brother and deeply loyal companion. Daochen protects him from Luo Hou’s manipulation and later removes his fate curse 49 616 823.
• Nüwa — Partner, co-parent, and major political ally. Shares responsibility for the Demon Race and handles much of the Demon Realm’s administration 265 582 1176 1453.
• Qingchan — Daughter; inherits strength, fire, and spacetime talents. Daochen supervises her combat training and attempts to forge a heavy sword suited to her attributes 1562 1624 2065.
• Qingxuan — Son; inherits spacetime talent and conceals a dangerous emotion-consuming ability. Daochen becomes concerned about the source of that technique 1624 2065.
• Zhao Gongming — Disciple with a playful rapport with his master. Receives a corpse-slaying treasure and instructions to help protect the Human Race 347.
• Three Xiao Sisters — Disciples who receive treasures, Quasi-Saint breakthrough insights, and the same Human Race protection duty 347.
• Suirenshi — Disciple whom Daochen expects to develop confidence and adapt to his changed status through his own efforts 347.

Allies and Subordinates

• Fuxi — Brother-in-law and trusted Human Sovereign. Coordinates defenses, supports Daochen’s cultivation needs, and repeatedly summons him when the Primordial World is threatened 350 1303 1605 1721.
• Bai Ze — Major Demon Race supporter who leads the petition that brings Daochen’s unwanted recognition as Demon Emperor 49 223.
• Kunpeng — Wary demon subordinate. Initially avoids confrontation, later forges disciple treasures under Daochen’s direction and serves in his enhanced demon army 49 347 976.
• Queen Mother of the West — Cooperative ally; exchanges her directional banner for a suitable mystic-yin gourd, after which Daochen accompanies her to confront the Eastern Prince’s threat 147.
• Tongtian — Sage ally with fewer direct conflicts of interest than the other Three Pure Ones. His cooperation with Daochen develops toward a formal alliance 470 490.
• Little Demon Emperor / Attendant 99 — Attendant, adviser, and forging instructor. Helps Daochen understand cultivation bottlenecks and locate Void Overlords; later transfers leadership of the true Avengers to Chaos Heaven 1259 1303 1321 1376.
• Chaos Heaven — Strategic ally, weapons adviser, and battlefield companion. Delivers promised equipment and helps prepare the Primordial World for wider conflict 1366 1469 1605.

• Fire Barbarian King — Steadfast supporter and source of political intelligence. His loyalty contrasts with the uncertain allegiance of several older allies 1804.
• Qingpingzi — Old friend and powerful combat partner who protects Daochen’s secret ability to kill Super Overlords. Their relationship later becomes politically uncertain 1729 1804.
• Adolf — Military collaborator who balances Daochen’s independent action with tactical support for his Mercenary Group 1718.

Rivals and Conditional Partners

• Hongjun / Heavenly Dao Hongjun — Relationship shifts between patronage, conflict, rescue, negotiation, and cooperation. Daochen opposes surrendering to the Heavenly Dao but repeatedly works with Hongjun against greater threats 223 652 823 836 906 1066.
• Luo Hou — Unreliable ally and recurring enemy. Attempts to manipulate Daochen and his brothers, yet Daochen later restores his soul despite his betrayal and claims him as a subordinate 616 652 1257 1259.
• Lord of Fate — Manipulates events and uses Daochen’s children as leverage. Later accepts his prohibition on targeting descendants, though Daochen distrusts the apparent submission 836 888 1066.
• Yuanshi — Persistent rival who repeatedly seeks revenge despite Laozi’s warnings. Daochen shatters his Sage body during a later confrontation 140 147 350.
• Jieyin and Zhunti — Earlier opponents who fear his strength; later entrusted with recruiting Buddhist disciples to counter Dark Beasts 224 347 2078.
• Xuanming — Ancestral Witch whose relationship mixes rivalry and personal tension. Agrees to become his Dao companion after their battle, then questions whether his imperial title will make him avenge demons she killed 215 224.
• Pan King Zhou — Powerful but distrustful contestant. Supplies negotiated rewards, clashes with Daochen over valuable forces, and embodies the fragility of interest-based alliances 1321 1346 1366.
• Barbarian Emperor — Major enemy repeatedly overpowered by Daochen. Their conflict escalates after injuries deplete the Barbarian Emperor’s origin and damage his prospects of reaching Hongmeng 1533 1563.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Sun Star Cultivator and Reluctant Emperor

Daochen initially acts from the Sun Star alongside Dijun and Taiyi, pursuing cultivation while other factions compete for authority. His victories generate extravagant rumors, including claims that he defeated Hongjun or taught Pangu; these are circulating stories, not established achievements 16 22 40.

His public preaching attracts cultivators from many races and causes their fortune to gather around the Sun Star. He nevertheless refuses leadership of the Demon Race until the Greater Demons’ allegiance and Heavenly Dao recognition impose the position upon him 49 50 141 223 224.

After attaining Sagehood, he takes the throne, establishes order within the Demon Court, and creates rank-based preaching privileges and a reward treasury. He does not immediately pursue conquest of the entire Primordial World, explicitly questioning whether unification would benefit the Demon Race 251 252 254 265 322.

Anomaly, Sage Politics, and the Demon Realm

Daochen’s interference alters the expected Witch–Demon conflict, but Luo Hou’s avatar reconnects events to the larger calamity. His identity as an anomaly rejected by the Heavenly Dao becomes public, causing many cultivators to distance themselves despite his strength 489 533.

Rather than accept permanent suppression, he creates a Demon Realm using his heart and a replicated Great Dao. Its creation becomes both a cultivation experiment and an attempt to escape the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s control 798.

When Fate and Luo Hou threaten his family and world, he pursues conditional cooperation with Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao. His ability to perceive Fate makes him valuable, but he remains suspicious that his partners may use him against their own enemies 823 836 865.

Chaos Expeditions and the Ultimate Powerhouse Bottleneck

Daochen builds a Saint Realm demon army, sends it against Resentment Aggregates, and secretly plans to absorb the collected cores. His own breakthrough brings phantom force, improved chaos-energy conversion, and a difficult need to control his expanding body 976 1045.

His supremacy within the Primordial World does not translate into superiority over every outside power. He rescues followers from stronger contestants, retreats from the Lord of Extreme Cold, and seeks new methods when his Great Dao of Strength appears stalled 1303 1311 1312.

Forging supplies the discipline needed to refine his strength. After successive gains in precision and practical combat, he becomes an Ultimate Powerhouse and later reaches the Heavenly Dao Realm 1321 1340 1366 1420.

World Alliance and Silent Forest Rule

Daochen develops the Primordial World through training, resource acquisition, equipment, and alliances. He joins the World Alliance, sells access to combat-art instruction, and uses contribution systems to regulate valuable rewards 1469 1487 1488.

At Great Accomplishment, he establishes himself against stronger-ranked opponents and allies with the Heavenly Dao Saint King. Their territorial agreement gives him the Silent Forest, where he places the Primordial World above a Six-Person Council, claims half the resources, and reserves the right to requisition troops 1514 1533 1535 1536.

He subsequently secures the region, allocates captured worlds to allies, restricts entry, and hides newly advanced experts to avoid alarming rival powers 1545.

Internal-World Cultivation and Overlord Recognition

Daochen’s next major path is cultivation through worlds within his body. Incorporating the Water Kingdom breaks his stagnation and supplies world power, although its immense aura initially causes the Primordial World to reject his approach 1656.

Financial need takes him back to battlefield missions. His victories secure Overlord certification despite his Perfection Realm cultivation, and his strength soon causes hostile Six-Star Worlds to avoid offering missions against him 1708 1709 1721.

During the Shadow Mist crisis, he secretly demonstrates Super Overlord-killing strength and cooperates with Qingpingzi to protect and evacuate survivors. He then wins the Eternals’ cautious acceptance by demonstrating his unusual conversion of origins into world power 1729 1736.

Technology, Independence, and Primordial God Cultivation

Daochen opens mechanical-arms technology to allies, supports shared research, and directs scientists toward elemental weapons and world power while guarding the latter as a secret 1784.

As stronger empires threaten the Primordial World, he tests old allies’ loyalty and rejects exploitative vassalage. In Meida Holy City, he also uses the political aftermath of an assassination attempt to extract 1.2 million Five-Star Origins, including additional compensation for a Perfect God’s threat 1804 1830.

After becoming a Primordial God, he is forcibly drawn from consolidation when the Primordial World’s soul borrows his body to stop Angel Chief Allen. The borrowed application of world power saves the world but injures him, revealing another gap between available energy and bodily endurance 1913.

Enlightenment and the Spacetime Front

Evolving more than three thousand internal worlds prepares Daochen for a new cultivation attempt. A vision of Pangu’s creation, provided by the human-path fortune golden dragon, leads him to understand strength as creative and sustaining as well as destructive; the resulting insight draws the Primordial World’s inhabitants into cultivation 2026.

He develops a War Buddha Dao and offers remaining allied races voluntary incorporation into the Primordial World. He also accepts responsibility for its contract requiring 300 million missions annually under the Spacetime Administration 2065 2078.

Against the Dark Beasts, he combines Buddhist resistance to corruption with troops drawn from his internal worlds. He subsequently enters a Spacetime Furnace to investigate the forging of an emperor’s body, purifying the resentment of dead entrants while an unseen survivor watches him 2098 2101.

His later preparations include demonstrating Qingchan’s and Qingxuan’s strength before resident Overlords so he can entrust the Primordial World’s protection to them 2124.

• Damaging a world barrier to obtain material for that ruler prompts the World Manager to imprison him in a dark room 1469.
• He is publicly celebrated as the first ruler of a Five-Star World to earn Overlord certification 1721.
• He regrets his growing fame because it makes it harder to conceal his strength, provoke opponents into underestimating him, and profit from their mistakes 1678.
