Marquis Rock

Biodata

Background / History

Marquis Rock had survived repeated life-threatening battles on the Outer Domain Battlefield and roamed the universe for countless eras. She and Marquis Glorious Light were longstanding friends, with a deep bond and highly coordinated teamwork. Hu Yanbo was an old acquaintance, but their friendship was not particularly close 35 42 43.

As a member of Ganwu Universe Country’s Three Hundred Kings and Marquises, she recalled its unsuccessful attempt to recruit Hu Yanbo tens of thousands of years earlier. The group had regarded his refusal as a shortsighted decision; after witnessing his King-level strength, Rock reconsidered how much their country could have offered him 42.

Appearance

• Combat radiance: Surrounded by thick, earthen-yellow light during her confrontation with Blood Fang King 40.
• Battle gear: Wears battle armor and carries a shield held with both hands 40.
• Condition during the pursuit: Her armor was badly damaged, golden divine blood seeped from her mouth, and her aura fluctuated violently from exhaustion and injury 40.

Personality

Rock is tenacious under pressure. Despite half a day of pursuit by a stronger opponent, she continued defending herself and protecting the unconscious Glorious Light. When she believed rescue would never arrive, she chose to burn her remaining divine power for a final stand rather than surrender 40.

She observes cultivation hierarchy strictly. After discovering Hu Yanbo’s King-level strength, she called herself his junior and insisted on addressing him as “Lord Hu Yanbo,” despite his invitation to use his name or “Brother Yanbo.” She envied Glorious Light’s ease around him, as well as the extraordinary generosity he received 42 43 44.

Rock is also cautious about resources and dangerous opportunities. She saved the healing treasures Hu Yanbo gave her instead of immediately consuming them, and readily agreed to surrender an inheritance treasure that she and Glorious Light lacked the strength to protect 43 46.

Abilities & Skills

Rock Wall Bastion

A shield-based defensive technique that creates an immense wall of densely interlocked yellow-black earth crystals, covered in luminous tortoiseshell patterns 40.

• Its appearance briefly suppresses the surrounding chaotic space, making it seem stagnant 40.
• Withstood Blood Fang King’s bone-spiked tail strike, but cracked severely and was expected to collapse under his next attack 40.
• Does not eliminate damage to Rock herself: the impact shattered the armor on her arms and caused further bleeding 40.

Immortal Body and Defensive Endurance

Rock’s High-level Marquis body and exceptional defenses make her unusually costly prey for an Initial King 37 44.

• An Initial King’s ordinary physical attacks cannot annihilate a High-level Marquis’s immortal body; rapid destruction requires burning divine power 44.
• Combined her defenses with the Dark Corrosion Cavern’s interference with divine-sense probing to repeatedly escape Blood Fang King 40.
• Can burn her own divine power in desperate combat, but her reserves were nearly exhausted by the end of the pursuit 40.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Battle shield — Bears emerging law secret patterns and serves as the focus for Rock Wall Bastion 40.
• Battle armor — Heavily damaged during Blood Fang King’s pursuit; its arm sections shattered while she blocked his attack 40.
• World Ring — Sheltered the gravely injured, unconscious Marquis Glorious Light until she presented him to Hu Yanbo 40 42.
• Recovery treasures — Gifts from Hu Yanbo capable of restoring an Immortal Divine Body and nourishing the soul, worth nearly ten million hunyuan units in total. Rock carefully stored them for later use 43.

Relationships

• Marquis Glorious Light / Glory / Radiance — Longstanding friend and mission partner. Rock protected him in her World Ring after Blood Fang King inflicted devastating injuries 35 40 42.
• Hu Yanbo — Old acquaintance turned rescuer and benefactor. He saved her, supplied recovery treasures, and promised to fund cultivation in Chaos City 41 43 46.
• Blood Fang King — Demon-camp Initial King who hunted Rock and Glorious Light after they killed his descendant and acquired the descendant’s inheritance crystal 40 49.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Nether God Secret Realm Mission

Rock and Glorious Light accepted an extremely high-risk, five-star mercenary mission issued by Gulun Universe Country. Their assignment took them into the Nether God Secret Realm to recover valuable auxiliary materials, including nether soul crystals, dark god flowers, and void marrow 35 36.

While clearing demon Immortal Army Lords, they killed a descendant of Blood Fang King and collected the spoils. Unbeknownst to them, those spoils included a Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal that Blood Fang King had already arranged to claim 44 49.

Pursuit and Rescue

Rock sent Hu Yanbo the coordinates of the Dark Corrosion Cavern. She then endured Blood Fang King’s pursuit for half a day while carrying the unconscious Glorious Light. Cornered and nearly out of divine power, she prepared to die fighting 37 40.

Hu Yanbo broke through the cavern ceiling before the killing blow landed. After his Void Lotus soul attack forced Blood Fang King to flee, Rock directed him to a quiet asteroid belt and revealed Glorious Light’s condition 41 42.

Inheritance Crystal and Chaos City Opportunity

Rock initially believed Blood Fang King’s pursuit was revenge for killing a blood relative. Glorious Light’s examination of their spoils instead uncovered a dark silver crystal, which Hu Yanbo identified as the Rift-Splitting Divine Envoy’s Inheritance Crystal 44 45.

Recognizing that the treasure was too dangerous to retain, both Marquises insisted Hu Yanbo take it. He promised to arrange and pay for their cultivation in Chaos City, an opportunity they eagerly accepted. They subsequently boarded his Yunmo Star Ship to leave the realm, unaware that Blood Fang King had enlisted Blade Mantis King to pursue them 46 49.
