King Thousand Wood
King Thousand Wood is an ancient Two World Island Regis Godfiend whose sixth-level Essence Soul makes him one of humanity's most dangerous specialists during the decisive World Gap campaign. His Magic Awl can end fights that physical attacks cannot, but his ordinary Godfiend body and dwindling lifespan require allies to carry, shield, and position him. Long after the war, external restoration gives him the chance to advance as Supremacy Thousand Wood.
Biography
An Ancient Specialist Recalled to War
King Thousand Wood comes from a generation before the demon war becomes humanity's defining crisis. He enters suspended animation with a fifth-level Essence Soul, then wakes centuries later to a far worse world. Grief and indignation drive him to create new moves and seek answers from his inner self, producing a sixth-level Essence Soul at about 450 years of age. Two World Island preserves him again after that breakthrough, treating his limited remaining lifespan and rare mental cultivation as resources that must be reserved for a decisive battle. (Chapter 427)
When the three human sects combine their World Gap teams, Thousand Wood is identified as the demons' second-greatest threat after King True Martial. He accepts a formation in which Two World Island's Essence Soul and Gu-worm specialists operate beside King Molten's stronger frontline group. The arrangement is causal rather than ceremonial: Thousand Wood has only thirty-nine years left and an ordinary body, so allied domains and close-combat defenders must keep enemies away while he brings his short-ranged Essence Soul weapon into position. (Chapters 427–428)
World Gap Battles and a Renewed Life
Against Holy Lady Strings's force, Thousand Wood waits inside the coalition's layered protection until Meng Chuan carries the group within range. His Magic Awl tears through Strings's Essence Soul despite the Nine Lives Cocoon's defense and leaves her unable to control its threads normally. The failed kill also exposes the technique's boundary: a specialized Tribulation treasure can keep its owner alive, while Thousand Wood himself remains vulnerable enough that King Gu Eyes has to intercept a close surprise attack aimed at his head. (Chapters 444–446)
During the final interception, Thousand Wood and Meng Chuan release separate Magic Awls as the human force penetrates the demon arrays. Thousand Wood kills seven fifth Firmament demon monarchs, but Demon Sage Deep Profundity disappears into a portable grotto-heaven before either attack can reach him. King True Martial ultimately kills the hidden target by sacrificing his life. On returning home, Thousand Wood refuses credit for the victory and states that True Martial accomplished the decisive act alone, preserving the difference between his own contribution and his comrade's final cost. (Chapters 461–465)
Two World Island places Thousand Wood back into slumber after the campaign. Centuries later, a rare outer-realm treatment supplied through Meng Chuan restores his body to peak vitality, allowing him to become a Supremacy with a lifespan of fifteen hundred years. Remembering how abruptly the war transformed his earlier world, he chooses to use the renewed future rather than remain sheltered: he accepts Meng Chuan's invitation to cultivate in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, where advancement is possible but explicitly uncertain. (Chapter 647)
Appearance and personality
King Thousand Wood first appears as a tall, ancient-looking Godfiend. After his later physical restoration and Supremacy breakthrough, he is described with black hair, visually marking the return from an aged body near the end of its lifespan to peak vitality. The corpus does not establish distinctive clothing, scars, or a recurring weapon carried in ordinary scenes. (Chapters 427 and 647)
He is sober, cooperative, and candid about the scale of the war. He accepts cross-sect coordination despite older institutional grudges, warns Meng Chuan to value his safety, and is prepared to die if that is required to stop the invasion. His humility after King True Martial's sacrifice is explicit rather than inferred: when the returning group is praised, Thousand Wood rejects a shared claim to the decisive victory and assigns it to the man who paid for it with his life. (Chapters 428, 454, 459, and 465)
Abilities and cultivation
King Thousand Wood is a Regis Godfiend whose battlefield importance comes primarily from a sixth-level Essence Soul. The corpus does not identify his Godfiend body, physical weapon system, or a complete set of ordinary combat techniques. His later Supremacy breakthrough follows the restoration of his aged body rather than a previously hidden advancement during the World Gap war.
Sixth-level Essence Soul
Thousand Wood reaches the sixth Essence Soul level by creating moves and seeking answers from his inner self after waking to the demon war. Only he and Wang Shan are identified as sixth-level Essence Soul experts among the available ancient Regis Godfiends and Dao Protectors. This makes him unusually resistant to ordinary mental attacks and capable of using Essence Soul weapons that would be prohibitively damaging for a cultivator with a weaker foundation. (Chapter 427)
His mental strength does not solve his physical limitations. He is near the end of a normal Regis lifespan, has an ordinary body, and is repeatedly protected inside allied formations or behind stronger close-combat Godfiends. When an enemy shadow appears beside him, his wooden-column defense cannot close the short distance in time; King Gu Eyes must deflect the sword. Thousand Wood is therefore a lethal specialist rather than an independently invulnerable combatant. (Chapters 427–428 and 444)
Magic Awl Forbidden Spell
Thousand Wood refines his black Magic Awl from thirty percent of his Essence Soul Origins. It is invisible to normal sight, crosses its effective range almost instantly, and attacks an opponent's Essence Soul rather than physical defenses. Demon monarchs with weak Essence Souls die silently when it pierces them, while even Holy Lady Strings's protected sixth-level Essence Soul is torn badly enough to disrupt her control and cause extreme pain. (Chapters 427 and 445–446)
The established battlefield range is twenty-five kilometers, forcing allies to close the distance before he can attack. Essence Soul protection can reduce the result: the Nine Lives Cocoon prevents Strings from dying and then encloses her body against follow-up strikes. Magic Awls are also sharp but brittle Essence Soul weapons, so attacking a sufficiently well-protected equal can risk the Origins invested in them. Thousand Wood consequently reserves his awl for powerful targets and uses ordinary Essence Soul techniques against lesser opponents when possible. (Chapters 427 and 445–446)
Supremacy progression
After another period of slumber, an external treasure restores Thousand Wood's aged body to peak vitality. That restoration gives his existing attainment a viable body for advancement, and he breaks through from Regis Godfiend to Supremacy. His lifespan becomes fifteen hundred years. The text does not show a later battle or establish a new named technique, so his latest demonstrated progression is the realm breakthrough and decision to seek further cultivation in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, not an assumed increase in Magic Awl performance. (Chapter 647)
Relationships
- King True Martial: Coalition commander and fellow decisive specialist. Thousand Wood fights within his plans, helps kill Demon Monarch Coldmoon, and later insists that True Martial alone deserves credit for the final victory over Deep Profundity.
- Meng Chuan: Mobile teammate who carries Thousand Wood into Magic Awl range and attacks beside him during the final operation. Meng Chuan later makes the restoration and outer-realm cultivation opportunity available to his generation.
- King Molten: Frontline partner whose fire domain and cauldron protection compensate for Thousand Wood's vulnerable ordinary body. Their teams are deliberately paired because physical defense and Essence Soul offense complement each other.
- King Gu Eyes: Two World Island companion and close protector. Gu Eyes deflects a surprise sword aimed at Thousand Wood before dying later in the same wider campaign.
- Holy Lady Strings: Principal enemy whose Nine Lives Cocoon allows her to survive his Magic Awl. Their clash demonstrates both the attack's exceptional power and the value of specialized Essence Soul protection.
Items
No named item in the selected item manifest is established as King Thousand Wood's personal inventory. His principal weapon is the self-refined Magic Awl, an Essence Soul technique rather than a physical possession; the later longevity treatment is externally administered rather than retained equipment.
