Background / History

Great Nirvana and the Limits Dojo

Hong rose from a killer during Earth’s Great Nirvana to become its strongest fighter. Alongside Thunder God, he fought for humanity’s survival when animals mutated and conventional weapons failed. His experiences of destruction and renewal became the foundation of World Destruction, his spear technique 36 144 423.

He founded the Limits Dojo, which grew into Earth’s largest dojo, and personally controlled Hongning Base City. He also excavated a damaged interstellar warship and converted it into the dojo’s headquarters; although unable to fly into space, its hull could withstand laser cannon fire 5 68 103.

Zhang Junbao and the Yunmo Star Inheritance

After Zhang Junbao’s exceptional training-camp performance, Hong sought to recruit him into the Limits Dojo’s inner circle, offering future Inspector status and priority access to resources. Their subsequent virtual spar used equal physical attributes, allowing them to compare martial understanding rather than raw strength 104 120.

Hong’s explanation of domains helped Zhang Junbao comprehend his own. Once the fight resumed, Zhang Junbao’s Space-Time Control countered Hong’s Light Domain and defeated him. Hong accepted Zhang Junbao as an equal, and the two exchanged their insights afterward 123.

Zhang Junbao then accepted Hong as Hu Yanbo’s disciple on his deceased master’s behalf. Hong requested that Thunder God be admitted as well. He later appointed Zhang Junbao the Limits Dojo’s first guest elder, granting him authority equal to his own without imposing obligations 124 125 131.

First Cosmic Adventures

Hong volunteered to face the young Golden Horned Beast first, using his domain, spear technique, and experience to wear it down. He wounded it before withdrawing as his strength diminished, leaving Luo Feng and Thunder God to continue the fight 156.

In the Lost Secret Realm, Hong escaped the Illusion Demon Tree’s traps and approached its main body. When a spatial storm struck, he pulled Thunder God into the tree to shelter from it. The tree later agreed to accompany Hong in exchange for help growing stronger 176 177 184.

Genius Battle and Army Lord Luo

During the Genius Battle preliminaries, Hong exploited contestants’ desires and fears through illusions. His run ended in the arena melee against Savage: his spear pierced Savage’s throat, but Savage cut him in two and eliminated him. Hong accepted the result as evidence that his cultivation and attack techniques still needed improvement 196 201 202.

Army Lord Luo subsequently chose him as a successor. Hong accepted immediately because Luo’s experiences and understanding of the Law of Light matched the conception behind World Destruction. Hong then arranged a discussion between Luo and Zhang Junbao, after which Luo broke through to become a Marquis-level Immortal 203 204.

Before leaving Earth with Luo, Hong asked his new teacher to protect his home for a thousand years. Luo added temporal concealment to Earth’s existing hidden Dark Universe coordinates 204 205 211.

Earth’s Crisis and Giant Axe

Following Zhang Junbao’s disappearance, Hong committed himself to cultivating until the brothers could rescue him—or avenge him. When Yanzhu King threatened Earth, Hong attempted to attract the Virtual Universe Company’s attention through a Heavenly Bridge challenge 301 334.

His ascent to the twelfth layer instead drew the Giant Axe Founder’s attention and exposed the extraordinary mental cultivation shared by Earth’s leading geniuses. Giant Axe took him as a nominal disciple. Despite this new allegiance, Hong openly opposed humanity’s leaders when their plans threatened to turn Earth into a resource and displace its inhabitants; his Illusion Sea challenge demonstrated the depth of his resolve 342 343 346.

Giant Axe brought Hong to Giant Axe Arena headquarters and later invested in time-accelerated training for him and Thunder God. Both also began cultivating the Paths of the Beast God with their teachers’ approval 354 424 435.

Star Tower and Ancestral God Sect

Hong received three thousand years of guidance from Puti while Luo Feng underwent the Star Tower’s inheritance trial. He and Thunder God refused Puti’s suggestion that either could inherit Luo Feng’s opportunity if Luo Feng died, declaring their bond stronger than blood 437 441.

The two then trained in the Star Tower. When nineteen alien Kings ambushed them with counters prepared for their known abilities, they reversed the expected matchups: Thunder God resisted the soul masters, while Hong trapped the nine close-combat warriors in illusions and destroyed their divine bodies 449.

At the Ancestral God Sect’s Treasure Land, one of the 108 highest peaks recognized Hong and awarded him Illusory Dream, an illusion-based domain treasure 469.

Universe Master and Defense of the Earth Lineage

Void True Demon God took Hong and Thunder God into his Miniature Universe. They later cultivated there with a portion of his origin power supplied by Zhang Junbao. Hong’s training included more than ten thousand eras within the True Illusion, bringing his illusion technique to the Universe Master Ultimate level 555 621 622.

Both emerged as Universe Masters during the invasion of Human Territory. Together, they killed the Zerg Universe Master Lord Minglian. Hong then faced Yan Emperor, whose Original Soul rendered his illusions ineffective and whose superior physical attacks forced him back 621 622.

Hong later joined Luo Feng and Thunder God in killing Yan Emperor, using an illusion to expose his doubts about Sitting Mountain Guest and the Earth Lineage. Afterward, Hong received Original Soul and helped overwhelm the leaderless Yan God Race 630 631.

When humanity’s foremost experts confronted the Origin Will, Hong remained to hold the Human Race’s position, supported by Thunder God and the newly advanced Universe Masters 673.

Appearance

  • Black clothing: Wears ordinary black clothes rather than a combat suit during his martial exchange with Zhang Junbao 120.
  • Spear-bearing presence: Stands with his spear along his back and its point toward the sky, projecting an imposing aura even before attacking 120.
  • Illusory silhouette: After Puti’s guidance, his figure becomes faintly indistinct, easy to overlook during a moment’s inattention 441.

Personality

Hong combines martial ambition with composure and practical judgment. He continues training despite being Earth’s strongest fighter because he knows that cosmic threats may eventually discover the planet. Rather than fear the wider universe, he welcomes its powerful opponents and opportunities 119 144.

He values suitable guidance over prestige. He chooses Army Lord Luo while Luo is still a World Lord because their paths align, and accepts his Genius Battle defeat without dejection. He is also socially adept, handling formal visitors more comfortably than his three brothers 200 202 203.

His loyalty to Earth outweighs personal standing—even his relationship with Giant Axe. He shares resources freely with Thunder God, refuses to covet Luo Feng’s inheritance, and views his brothers’ strength as a shared means of protecting their home 162 186 346 437.

Abilities & Skills

World Destruction

Hong’s original spear technique embodies breaking down an apocalyptic world to create new life 36 120.

  • Strength amplification: Provides an eightfold Strength Amplitude when perfected. By his duel with Zhang Junbao, Hong’s use of later alien manuals allows him to exceed twenty-fourfold 120.
  • Comprehension requirement: Requires understanding the state of mind behind surviving calamity and rebuilding; physical talent alone is insufficient 66.
  • Influence on Zhang Junbao: Its spear intent can be adapted to swordsmanship, contributing to Zhang Junbao’s Taiji Sword Technique 36.

Light Domain

A domain Hong developed independently, complementing his special Planetary Level ability 123.

  • Refracts and distorts light to produce illusions and conceal his position 123.
  • Increases his speed while suppressing an opponent’s movement 123.
  • Can be countered by a stronger or suitably matched domain; Zhang Junbao’s Space-Time Control disrupts his concealment and movement 123.

Life and Death Illusions

Hong builds illusions through firsthand study of mortal life, emotional attachments, fear, and desire rather than relying solely on overwhelming Spiritual Force 189 196 227.

  • Personalized traps: Fulfills dreams or destroys hopes so convincingly that some Genius Battle contestants remain unable to accept the experience as false after elimination 196.
  • Combat integration: Combines illusion, domain, light, time, and spear attacks into a single fighting method 200.
  • Light–Time fusion: Preliminary fusion of these laws makes his illusions more powerful and his presence increasingly indistinct 449.
  • Lethal applications: Traps alien Kings in visions of their deepest desires, inducing them to remove their armor before he destroys their divine bodies 449.
  • Nonlethal applications: Uses an illusion to help Zhang Junbao recognize his feelings for Xu Yan 212.
  • Limits: Strong wills can resist his illusions. Soul-defense treasures can also neutralize them; Original Soul protects Yan Emperor against soul attacks below the Universe Supreme Master technique level 201 622.

Mental Cultivation

Hong’s state of mind is rooted in Earth’s ancient martial and philosophical traditions 205.

  • Reaches the third stage of mental cultivation, describing his heart as encompassing nature and the universe rather than merely resisting pressure through rigidity 343.
  • Passes twenty Illusion Sea islands at Universe Level 346.
  • Remains true to his path and encounters few mental bottlenecks, a quality noted by humanity’s senior experts 430.

Spear Combat and Space-Time Control

Hong’s spear art develops from internal martial arts into a Universe Master-level combat method 120 621.

  • Experience and precision: Uses unpredictable attack angles and domain-assisted movement to outmaneuver the physically stronger young Golden Horned Beast 156.
  • Direct light attacks: Expands beyond illusions after Zhang Junbao suggests using light’s piercing and destructive properties in spear thrusts 208.
  • Universe Master authority: Gains Control of Space-Time upon reaching that realm, though Yan Emperor’s superior attacks can suppress it 622.
  • Physical limits: His spear attacks remain dangerous without illusions, but cannot match Yan Emperor’s combination of physical strength, techniques, and treasures 621 622.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Second-order Origin Force spear — Purchased in the universe and used against the Golden Horned Beast 156.
  • Top-tier Supreme Treasure spear — Given by Zhang Junbao; capable of supporting Universe Master-level combat 621.
  • Illusory Dream — Illusion-based domain treasure awarded by one of Treasure Land’s 108 highest peaks 469.
  • Original Soul — Peak Soul-type Supreme Treasure received after Yan Emperor’s death; strengthens Hong’s soul and further enhances his soul illusion techniques 631.
  • Intelligent Optical Computer — Upgraded by Babata during Hong and Zhang Junbao’s virtual encounter 123.

Relationships

  • Zhang Junbao — Eldest senior brother in the Yunmo Star Lineage, fellow martial seeker, and major source of guidance and resources. Hong’s domain explanation also helps Zhang Junbao achieve his own breakthrough 123 124 141 423.
  • Thunder God — Closest companion among the four Earth brothers; fought beside him during the Great Nirvana. Hong brings him into the Yunmo Star Lineage, shares treasures with him, and later fights alongside him as a Universe Master 124 144 186 621.
  • Luo Feng — Junior fellow disciple and sworn-in-spirit brother. Hong refuses any opportunity that would depend on Luo Feng dying, and later joins him against Yan Emperor 141 437 630.
  • Hu Yanbo — Deceased master whose inheritance Hong joins through Zhang Junbao. Hong acknowledges the lineage but lacks the personal attachment he later develops toward Luo 124 204.
  • Army Lord Luo / Time Marquis — Personal teacher, chosen for his compatible temperament and Light Law path. Luo’s care earns Hong’s genuine affection, and he helps conceal Earth after Hong requests protection 203 204 205 423.
  • Giant Axe Founder — Takes Hong as a nominal disciple after his Heavenly Bridge feat, then provides guidance and intensive training without dictating his entire cultivation path 343 423 435.
  • Puti — Guides Hong for three thousand years and admires his determination, humility, and comprehension 441.
  • Ji Qing — Romantic partner met while Hong was training with Luo in Ganwu Universe Country. She supports his efforts to cultivate and rescue Zhang Junbao; they later cultivate together at Giant Axe Arena 308 367.
  • Illusion Demon Tree — Initially an adversary, later agrees to follow Hong in exchange for assistance growing stronger 176 184.
  • Yan Emperor — Enemy who attempts to annihilate the Earth Lineage. Hong withstands his assault and later assists in his defeat 621 622 630.
