Zheng Bashan

Peak Yang Opening Realm combat specialistBlack Rhinoceros Garrison

Zheng Bashan is a peak Yang Opening cultivator from the Black Rhinoceros Garrison whose enormous strength and regenerative technique let her fight near Light Shaking level. She joins the relatives seeking revenge for deaths in the Thousand Ashes Mountains, survives a devastating blow from Uncle Eleven, and becomes an unwilling subject in Su Chen's research. (Chapters 240–461)

Biography

Revenge party and Red Pinewood Forest

Zheng Bashan joins Zhang Tingyue's group after Zheng Kuang and other Bloodline Nobility Clan students die in the Thousand Ashes Mountains. She favors killing the surviving bloodline-less students even without proof and is sent to find Cloud Leopard, but abandons the search for a meal and returns empty-handed. When the group confronts Su Chen, her blunt accusation exposes their purpose before the others can apply quieter pressure. The dispute later draws them into Red Pinewood Forest, where their attempt at revenge collides with Zhu Xianyao's party and becomes a battle for survival against Uncle Eleven. (Chapters 240–246)

Zheng is one of the coalition's strongest attackers. She repeatedly charges the Light Shaking opponent, regenerates severed limbs, and keeps fighting as her stored reserves and strength visibly decline. Uncle Eleven finally strikes her head and leaves her apparently dead, but Shi Kaihuang finds her still breathing. Su Chen takes her captive, studies her regenerative method and brain injury, and feeds her medicine. She awakens physically but remains trapped in a Soul Sinking state, singing and responding to an internal dream rather than the outside world. Her condition contributes to Su Chen's later work on Fata Morgana, but the corpus never records her recovery, release, or final fate. (Chapters 247–264)

Appearance and personality

Zheng Bashan is a woman taller than Iron Cliff, more muscular than a bear, with elephant-like legs and a body so massive that her steps seem to shake the hill. She smokes a pipe, speaks in a coarse, commanding voice, and eats prodigiously—once stopping for ninety-eight bowls of beef noodles. She is impatient, blunt, and casually violent, yet in combat she is exceptionally brave and refuses to retreat even after her advantage is exhausted. Repeated regeneration makes her progressively thinner. (Chapters 240–250)

Abilities and cultivation

At peak Yang Opening Realm, Zheng Bashan has offensive power comparable to an average Light Shaking cultivator. Horizon-Reaching Fist delivers her principal heavy blows, while Golden Double-Edged Armor coats her body in golden light and barbs, combining impact offense with protection. She also uses a Golden Horn Overlord Spear, though the corpus gives less detail about its mechanics. None of these prevents Uncle Eleven from repeatedly throwing her back or ultimately injuring her brain. (Chapters 247–250)

Her defining technique is Devouring the Heavens, a bloodline-less Origin Skill acquired by chance. It converts stored body fat into life force, allowing lost limbs to regenerate and supporting extraordinary strength. The mechanism has an explicit limit: each recovery consumes fat, makes her thinner, and reduces both strength and remaining regeneration until the reserves are exhausted. It does not automatically repair every kind of harm; the head blow leaves her alive but causes Soul Sinking, a consciousness condition from which no recovery is shown. (Chapters 249–264)

Relationships

  • Su Chen: Zheng seeks to punish Su Chen for the expedition deaths. After her defeat, he preserves her life but uses her regeneration and Soul Sinking as research material. (Chapters 241–264)
  • Uncle Eleven: Zheng repeatedly injures and pressures him in Red Pinewood Forest, but his greater realm and Demonic Emperor bloodline eventually overcome her and cause the brain injury. (Chapters 247–250)
  • Shi Kaihuang: Shi discovers that Zheng is still breathing after the battle and helps take her captive rather than treating her as a corpse. (Chapters 254–255)

Items
