Lion King

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

Lion King is burly and broad-shouldered, with a stern, resolute face and heavy armor covering his body while leaving his head exposed 1 4 25.

• Hair: Short, golden, and slightly curly 4.
• Eyes: Dark golden, with a sharp, cold gaze 4 8.
• Armor: Golden-and-black, also described as dark golden 4 8.
• Jedi Lion: A massive golden, metallic Super Beast that shifts from a four-legged lion into a humanoid form as tall as a small mountain 9.

Personality

Lion King is composed, terse, and focused on completing his mission. Before entering Heaven Dou Imperial City, he tells Golden Lion that retrieving the key is their sole objective and that they need not become entangled with the inhabitants, whom he dismisses as “ants.” He remains expressionless while stopping the Golden Sacred Dragon’s attack, although Yu Xiaogang’s insistence that his defense was merely luck displeases him 4 7.

His restraint does not prevent overwhelming displays of force. He defeats the city’s defenders without killing them, then destroys its structures to demonstrate his methods, explicitly directing the attack away from people 10.

Toward Hades, his confidence gives way to excitement and almost fanatical reverence. He kneels before the Xuanming Coffin and eagerly anticipates his master’s return after ten thousand years 13 14.

Abilities & Skills

Seven Injuries Tribulation

Lion King’s named finishing move concentrates golden Super Beast Energy into a destructive projectile 4 10.

• A Heavenly Screen demonstration shows it flattening a small mountain and leaving a deep crater 4.
• In Jedi Lion form, he forms two energy masses in his palms, moves his hands through a taiji pattern, and merges them into one enormous sphere 10.
• Its full-power release razes Heaven Dou Imperial City; the attack targets the city’s structures rather than its people 10.

Super Beast Armament: Jedi Lion

Lion King launches himself skyward, condenses a golden energy sphere, and sends it into the ground to create a six-star summoning formation. Jedi Lion rises from the formation and transforms into a humanoid Super Beast as Lion King’s own body disappears 9.

• Physical manifestation: Observers distinguish it from an energy-based Martial Soul Avatar 9.
• Scale: Described as four or five times larger than a Martial Soul Avatar 9.
• Combat power: Knocks aside the combined assault of Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo in a single charge 10.

Physical Combat and Defense

Lion King can overpower attacks comparable to those of a Titled Douluo without first using Super Beast Armament 7.

• Catches the Golden Sacred Dragon’s full-power strike with one hand, then absorbs and annihilates its golden energy 7.
• Breaks the Golden Iron Triangle’s formation with a charging, claw-like assault accompanied by a lion’s roar 7.
• Withstands Dugu Bo’s poisonous swamp and subsequent Soul Skills, emerging unharmed with spotless armor 8 9.
• Moves quickly enough to intercept an attack before it reaches Golden Lion and Silver Lion 7.

Perception and Battlefield Assessment

• Detects three Titled Douluo presences within Heaven Dou Imperial City 8.
• Notices concealed opponents preparing to intervene after he retrieves the key 10.
• Assesses Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo’s impending fusion technique through the Heavenly Screen while remaining beside the Xuanming Coffin 25.

History

Retrieving the Xuanming Key

In the Underworld Temple, Lion King volunteers to carry out the first step of Hades’s resurrection. He leads his fleet toward the Heaven Dou Empire, knowing that its national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, is the Xuanming Key needed to open Hades’s coffin 1 3 4.

After his warriors enter Heaven Dou Imperial City, Silver Lion defeats Ma Hongjun. When Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong intervene with the Golden Sacred Dragon, Lion King steps in to protect his generals and dismantles their fusion formation 5 6 7.

Dugu Bo confronts him over the imperial treasure. Lion King withstands his initial attacks, then summons Jedi Lion when Dugu Bo activates his Martial Soul Avatar. Chen Xin joins the battle, but their combined assault fails to stop him 8 9 10.

Lion King retrieves the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the palace, orders the fighting to cease, and unleashes Seven Injuries Tribulation as a demonstration of power. He leaves the city in ruins without directing the strike at its inhabitants, then withdraws with his forces 10 12.

Beginning Hades’s Resurrection

Upon returning to the Underworld palace, Lion King inserts the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud into the triangular recess of the Xuanming Coffin. Its seals unlock, releasing an energy surge powerful enough to blast him and the other guardians backward. All four kneel to welcome Hades’s revival 13.

With the resurrection underway, Lion King asks the other guardians to buy time during the coming days. Long Ying subsequently departs to collect blood debts 14.

He later remains on guard beside the coffin while watching Long Ying’s battle through the Heavenly Screen. Recognizing the unusual nature of Chrysanthemum and Ghost’s Soul Skills, he questions whether she can withstand their combined technique 25.
