Han Kong

Immortal replicaSoul Transformation, restricted to middle Berserker Soul-equivalent powerImmortals

Han Kong is an Immortal who came to the Berserkers' land eight thousand years before the story and became remembered as Han Mountain's ancestor. Sealed and hunted under orders connected to successive Gods of Berserkers, he mistakes Su Ming for the “Destiny” meant to return him home. Their desperate encounter ends with Han Kong dying inside Su Ming, but his remains become an important source of Su's early advancement.

Biography

Dark Mountain and the Berserker awakening

Han Kong hides within a sword-shaped ship protected by a four-dimensional seal. Zhou Shan, Freezing Sky Clan's left preceptor, breaks through and announces the old sentence against him: the second God of Berserkers restricted his power, while the third left orders for his death. Though ranked highly on the worlds' shared kill list, Han Kong can use only Soul Transformation power, equivalent here to the middle Berserker Soul Realm. (Chapter 160)

Skeletal after eight thousand years away from home, Han Kong expects a promised person to take him back. He mishears Su Ming's name as “Destiny” and tries to stall Zhou Shan while Su performs an art that Su does not actually know. Han Kong spreads a hundred-li red meadow, summons a three-headed python and a red-armored warrior, and spends his own blood to intensify the field. He escapes the immediate clash maimed and carries Su away, driven less by conquest than by panic at the approach of his main body's death. (Chapters 162–163)

When Su cannot send him home, Han Kong tries to refine and possess him so that they will either survive or die together. His materialized Nascent Divinity enters Su's mind, encounters the deeper forces and erased memories there, and perishes. Fragments are absorbed by Su's stone and Spirit Sphere, while Han Kong's reverted Berserker Bone assimilates into Su's body and drives a dramatic increase in blood veins. The encounter thus becomes the “serendipity” Han Kong had threatened to leave if Su survived. (Chapters 163–169)

Su later questions why Han Kong created or possessed the Chains of Han Mountain and what their true origin was, but the evidence does not settle those questions. His death remains directly linked to Su, even though pursuit, restriction, and his own possession attempt all contribute. (Chapters 180, 193)

Freezing Sky and the Ninth Summit

Han Kong's legacy returns when the Virescent Light Sword appears in another person's hands during a battle at Freezing Sky Clan. Zhou Shan recognizes it specifically as Han Kong's treasure, confirming that the dead Immortal's possessions survived and moved into later conflicts. (Chapter 237)

Appearance and personality

By the time Su meets him, Han Kong is a dried, skeletal man whose speech sounds like twigs rubbing together. Calm expectation changes rapidly to ferocity, fear, and despair when he realizes Su may not be the promised rescuer. His longing to return home is genuine, but his willingness to seize and refine Su shows that desperation has overcome restraint.

Abilities and cultivation

Han Kong is an Immortal at Soul Transformation, with a materialized Nascent Divinity stronger than a Spirit Infant and containing a golden spine. A restriction imposed by the second God of Berserkers caps his usable strength at the middle Berserker Soul-equivalent level. He manipulates dimensional seals, spreads a red meadow over one hundred li, shapes red mist into a three-headed python and armored swordsman, and can turn his body into blood mist to launch a soul-possession attack. (Chapters 160–163)

These arts have severe costs and dependencies. Blood is used to force the meadow's expansion; his replica's survival depends on severing its connection to an endangered main body under a different Immortal law; and his already damaged body loses its legs during escape. His soul attack ultimately fails against the forces within Su Ming, destroying him and transferring rather than preserving his accumulated power.

Relationships

  • Su Ming: Mistaken for Destiny, then treated as a possible rescuer and finally a vessel. Han Kong dies within him and unintentionally advances his cultivation.
  • Zhou Shan: Freezing Sky Clan pursuer charged with carrying out the third God of Berserkers' order.
  • The second and third Gods of Berserkers: The second restricts Han Kong's power; the third's order sustains the hunt.
  • Di Tian: Han Kong names him amid the revelations in Su's mind and dies crying that Di Tian deceived him.

Items

Han Kong is associated with the sword-shaped ship and the Virescent Light Sword, later recognized at Freezing Sky Clan. The origin of the Chains of Han Mountain remains uncertain even to Su Ming, so their precise custody and purpose should not be stated as settled.
