Sky-Rending Great Paragon

Sky-Rending Great Paragon is one of the Fan Clan's highest-ranking cultivators, second only to Ancestor Fan within the clan hierarchy described. He refines and trains powerful servants, manages scarce cultivation resources, and becomes an increasingly respectful adviser to Dong Bo Xue Ying. Chapters 1060–1099 are fragmentary, while later scenes are intact; no identity collision appears, but his own combat Dao is not specified. (Chapters 1060–1099 and 1144–1169)

Biography

Ardent Fire and Southern Cloud

Sky-Rending transforms ninety-nine ordinary Primal Chaos experts into Hundred-Battle Devil Gods and creates specialized claw arts and Combat Magic Bodies for his subordinates. While preparing the three-clan competition, he resists excessive demands on Fan Clan resources but recognizes Xue Ying's decisive contribution. He grants the younger cultivator a year beneath the Burning Heart God Tree, a scarce resource whose aura can effectively support only one person at a time. (Chapters 1060, 1072, and 1079–1091)

After Xue Ying breaks through in the Mirage and Illusory Realm, Sky-Rending reassesses him and enforces the principle that further access to the tree requires fair exchange. Later evidence of Xue Ying's strength changes his manner from guarded management to personal respect: he sees him off, praises the killing of Black Sovereign King, and warns that even powerful avatars can lose treasures if an unparalleled enemy finds their flaws. His latest scene shows him still observing Xue Ying's dangerous choices. (Chapters 1093–1099 and 1144–1169)

Appearance and personality

The corpus preserves only a momentary expression of shock and gives no stable body, clothing, age, or species description. Sky-Rending is resource-conscious, shrewd, and confident in the Fan Clan's cultivation systems. He can be transactional without being dishonest, and he updates his estimate of Xue Ying when evidence warrants it, eventually offering both praise and blunt caution. (Chapters 1072, 1088–1093, and 1149–1169)

Abilities and cultivation

Sky-Rending's clearest specialty is refining and nurturing magic servants. He raises ninety-nine subordinates to tenth-level combat power, can form Combat Magic Bodies that amplify suitable cultivators, and designs the ruthless Sky Rending Claws specifically for the Hundred-Battle Devil Gods. These are demonstrated products of his methods, though the corpus does not show him personally using the claw art. (Chapters 1060 and 1072)

As a Great Paragon he has extremely high Fan Clan status and enough insight to identify Xue Ying's Mirage-lineage Cosmos God breakthrough and assess Paragon Master threats. The text does not name his own Dao, personal weapon, direct offensive sequence, or a later breakthrough, so his latest evidenced state remains Great Paragon rather than unparalleled existence. (Chapters 1072, 1093, 1149–1151, and 1159–1169)

Relationships

• Ancestor Fan: Clan leader above Sky-Rending; their shared priorities include Fan Clan advancement and careful management of its techniques and treasures. (Chapters 1072, 1079–1091, and 1149–1151)
• Dong Bo Xue Ying: Initially an extraordinary outside contributor whose reward Sky-Rending limits, later a Cosmos God he respects and cautions as a near-peer power. (Chapters 1088–1099 and 1149–1169)
• Emperor Summer: Ruler of the Summer Wind Ancient Nation, whose clan competition and national interests frame Sky-Rending's decisions. (Chapters 1079–1088 and 1149–1151)
• Black Sovereign King: Dangerous Paragon Master whose death confirms how far Xue Ying's strength has exceeded Sky-Rending's earlier estimate. (Chapters 1150 and 1159–1160)
• Southern Cloud King: Xue Ying's teacher, whose requests for rewards Sky-Rending scrutinizes during negotiations. (Chapter 1072)

Items

• Burning Heart God Tree: A unique Fan Clan cultivation resource whose aura benefits soul-focused Dao cultivation but weakens if shared. Sky-Rending controls temporary access rather than owning the tree personally; no item page is assigned by the local manifest. (Chapters 1089–1093)
