Marquis Liu Yin

Former marquis and Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realmreincarnated Eternal True GodShi Kingdom

Marquis Liu Yin is the former ruler of Liu Yin Primal Chaos State and a pinnacle cultivator whose attempt to seize the cities of Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture brings him into conflict with Luo Feng. Feared as a world-scale calamity, he directs subordinates and dependent factions to fight in his place until Luo Feng defeats his Bloodfire World; when Luo Feng's later growth threatens even Liu Yin's survival methods, the marquis abandons his territories and identity through reincarnation. (Chapters 1558–1559, 1597–1599, and 1642–1652)

Biography

Arrival and conflict in Huyang City

Liu Yin enters the Huyang conflict indirectly, already carrying a greater reputation than the neighboring Marquis of Jiu Jiang. He sends Yutian Xu and Yutian Yi to reinforce Divine Monarch Xue Yun as part of a wider attempt to seize Huyang City. When Luo Feng kills all three in retaliation for Shang Tianyan's death, Liu Yin does not respond from grief; he judges that Luo Feng's hatred of evil makes him difficult to recruit and concludes that the original plan must be revised. His attention then returns to control: he handles a miniature universe filled with living beings whose entire evolutionary process he values as a means of tempering Spiritual Will. (Chapters 1535, 1540, and 1558)

Liu Yin offers the displaced Heartshadow Sect what it most wants—a city in which to rebuild—because its desperation makes it useful. He orders the sect to take Huyang City and Xuyin City, promises to cross space-time personally if Marquis Jiu Jiang intervenes, and allows the sect to keep most of Huyang City's revenue if it succeeds. He calculates that the sect's scattered disciples and inherited formations can absorb the difficult work, while their deaths would cost him nothing. His goal is explicit: his existing fief is too small for the resources he wants, and expansion into Jiu Jiang's territory can finance his continued cultivation. (Chapters 1559 and 1561)

Liu Yin also tries to remove the strongest uncertain variable before the invasion matures. Through a Divine Power Incarnation, he tells Luo Feng that the territorial dispute does not concern him and warns that intervention would mean risking his life for an unrelated marquis. Luo Feng refuses to promise neutrality. The exchange establishes the conflict's central mismatch: Liu Yin assumes self-preservation and resources should govern Luo Feng's choices, while Luo Feng considers the conduct of Liu Yin's forces within his city a sufficient reason to oppose them. (Chapter 1561)

War for Huyang City

As the Heartshadow Sect's first offensive falters, Liu Yin remains outside the city, judges its formations disorganized, and introduces forces tied to his family. He sends his most accomplished child, Liu Yinyan, whose cultivation under the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm Liu Yin has funded lavishly, and later authorizes additional Envoys of the Snow Realm. This is not parental indulgence alone: Liu Yin has raised his children harshly and uses Liu Yinyan as the strongest instrument among them. The escalation allows the invasion to resume, but it also places his son at the center of an atrocity when Liu Yinyan chooses billions of Huyang residents as Blood Food. (Chapters 1587 and 1595)

Luo Feng captures and kills Liu Yinyan, forcing Liu Yin to defend his standing personally. His True Body arrives through the space-time treasure previously entrusted to the Heartshadow Sect and becomes an immense Bloodfire World over Huyang City. He first overpowers Marquis Jiu Jiang and threatens to trap Luo Feng inside that world, but Luo Feng reveals pinnacle-tier strength and destroys a large portion of it. Liu Yin recognizes that he has misjudged a hidden cultivator whom he once could have hired cheaply, yet pride and confidence in his own survival ability drive him to continue rather than negotiate immediately. (Chapters 1596–1598)

Liu Yin attacks Luo Feng's will, corrodes him with bloodfire and calamity forces, and forms a World's Body for close combat. None overcomes Luo Feng's physical body; the World Body is crushed, its valuable blade is seized, and Luo Feng's enormous form finally shatters the Bloodfire World outright. Only then does Liu Yin offer terms. Luo Feng instead claims the city, and Liu Yin weighs the attachments on each side: he has territories, subordinates, and clan members to lose, while Luo Feng is an unburdened enemy whose future retaliation would be difficult to constrain. He retreats by merging with the world, preserving his life but abandoning the invasion and leaving the Heartshadow Sect to surrender. (Chapters 1598–1600)

The defeat changes the political map more than it changes Liu Yin's nature. Huyang City passes to Luo Feng specifically so that Liu Yin will not try to seize it again, while outside observers measure Luo Feng's emergence by the fact that he suppressed the feared marquis. Liu Yin remains alive, powerful, and difficult to capture, but the fief war he began has created an enemy stronger than the territory could ever justify. (Chapters 1599–1603)

Chu Capital and the imperial lineages

News of Liu Yin's defeat accompanies Luo Feng into Chu Capital and becomes part of the latter's reputation among the Imperial Clan. Later comparisons place even an old cultivator with an Infinite Body above Liu Yin in direct threat, only for Luo Feng to capture that opponent as well. These developments show Liu Yin that the Huyang battle was not an isolated unfavorable matchup: the former recluse is rapidly acquiring methods capable of containing survival specialists whom ordinary Primal Chaos cultivators cannot stop. (Chapters 1603 and 1614)

Liu Yin responds by buying every new intelligence report on Luo Feng, despite their escalating cost. When he learns that Luo Feng has transcended the Primal Chaos Realm, created a body-refining method, and can make numerous avatars, his earlier confidence gives way to an immediate fear of complete death. He reasons that Luo Feng's hatred of evil—not simple territorial rivalry—means the absence of an attack is only temporary, and that a future Godly King Luo Feng might destroy all of his revival vessels before he can escape or reincarnate. The information campaign meant to preserve his advantage instead convinces him that no local defense can be trusted. (Chapter 1642)

Paths beyond the Primal Chaos Realm

Liu Yin makes his next choice with the decisiveness he once applied to conquest. He abandons his fief, clan position, and accumulated authority, arranging for core family members to split into hidden branches before voluntarily reincarnating. The method severs his karmic existence under the highest rules, denying Luo Feng a traceable target. His hierarchy of values is explicit: territories and clans matter less than his own continued existence, so he accepts losing all public power rather than gamble that Luo Feng's next breakthrough will leave him time to flee. (Chapters 1642 and 1652)

To the outside world, Liu Yin dies; the disappearance of his karmic trace and the orderly dispersal of his family make voluntary reincarnation the clear conclusion. Luo Feng had intended to pursue him after raising his Spiritual Will enough to ensure a complete kill, citing both Shang Tianyan's death and Liu Yin's enjoyment of calamity and slaughter, but the preemptive escape denies him that reckoning. Liu Yin therefore survives the conflict not by defeating it, but by erasing the identity and possessions he had fought to expand. (Chapter 1652)

The Land of Origin at its height

Liu Yin later appears with his memories intact as an otherwise ordinary Eternal True God in a common large city. Learning that Luo Feng has become the Galaxy Ruler confirms his judgment that reincarnating early was necessary. Although his retained realm-understanding would let him dominate peers at the Eternal True God level, he deliberately refuses to advance again: Primal Chaos cultivators are rare enough to attract attention, whereas countless Eternal True Gods give him anonymity. (Chapter 1775)

His latest life reverses the ambitions that drove the Huyang war. The former marquis no longer seeks additional cities, revenue, or public standing; he seeks a life too insignificant for Luo Feng to notice, fearing that even suspicion could lead the Galaxy Ruler to read his memories. He privately recognizes the grim irony that he once provoked such a figure during Luo Feng's weaker days, then returns to enjoying an obscure Eternal True God's existence. The change is strategic rather than repentant: the corpus establishes fear and self-preservation, not remorse for the lives consumed by his earlier campaigns. (Chapter 1775)

Appearance and personality

Before reincarnation, Liu Yin manifests as a figure in dark red armor whose eyes resemble blazing crimson flames and whose presence carries an aura of dark calamity. In battle his physical figure may be only an incarnation or a World's Body because his true form can become the vast Bloodfire World itself. The supplied corpus gives no physical description of his reincarnated Eternal True God identity. (Chapters 1558 and 1597–1598)

Liu Yin is calculating, domineering, and intensely self-preserving. He prefers to place dependent sects, armies, and children between himself and a risky objective, treats their losses as expendable, and expects weaker opponents to yield to his reputation. He also enjoys exercising absolute control over the lives inside a miniature universe, while later testimony identifies catastrophe and slaughter as pleasures rather than unfortunate necessities. Yet he is not blindly stubborn: once Luo Feng proves too dangerous, Liu Yin retreats, studies him obsessively, and discards every possession and relationship that might compromise his survival. (Chapters 1558–1559, 1595–1599, 1642, and 1652)

Abilities and cultivation

Before reincarnation, Liu Yin stands at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm and has touched more than ninety-nine percent of a branch of an Origin Great Dao. His techniques emphasize turning himself into a world, attacking from that dispersed state, and escaping damage that would kill an ordinary body. After reincarnation he retains his memories and realm-understanding but intentionally holds his formal cultivation at Eternal True God. (Chapters 1592, 1597–1598, and 1775)

Bloodfire World

Liu Yin's signature state transforms his true body into a Bloodfire World extending across a vast region; the world is him, rather than a domain projected by a separate physical body. Bloodfire spreads through the sky like veins, carries a sense of calamity, and can generate millions of figures or converge the world's power into attacks. This dispersion makes the true body difficult to locate or strike and allows Liu Yin to restore damaged areas by drawing Divine Power away from an incoming attack. (Chapters 1597–1598)

Within the world, Liu Yin can make bloodfire ignite directly upon a target and apply formless forces described as strange blood, flame, and calamity. These effects erode the body without an ordinary visible trajectory, making them useful against opponents whom direct attacks cannot easily reach. He can also create a dark-crimson-armored World's Body by condensing the world's force at a point; that body appears suddenly, concentrates formidable close-combat strength, and can be destroyed without directly injuring a conventional true body because it disperses back into world force. (Chapter 1598)

The form is resilient rather than invulnerable. Luo Feng's massed blade lights destroy part of the Bloodfire World and injure Liu Yin, while Luo Feng's close-combat transformations crush the World's Body and seize its weapon. When Luo Feng shatters the entire manifested world, Liu Yin escapes with its remaining force but reappears significantly injured. His final retreat by merging with the world shows strong evasion, although the corpus does not specify its range, cost, or whether it can bypass sealing techniques. (Chapters 1597–1599)

Spiritual Will and will attack

Long cultivation and his practice of controlling the development of a miniature universe temper Liu Yin's Spiritual Will until it barely reaches the Godly King tier. He can send a sinister will attack through his voice while the Bloodfire World is active. Against Luo Feng, however, the technique is merely distracting: Luo Feng's will is not inferior, so Liu Yin cannot shake his consciousness or create an opening. The corpus does not give the attack a name or explain its activation beyond the vocalized assault. (Chapters 1558 and 1598)

Reincarnation and survival

Liu Yin possesses the Reincarnation Secret Art available to sufficiently advanced cultivators. Under the highest rules, voluntary reincarnation eliminates the old body's karmic existence and prevents enemies from discovering the new identity through ordinary tracing. Liu Yin prepares his family's disappearance, chooses the time himself, and later retains full memory as an Eternal True God, demonstrating that the method successfully carries his identity into the new life. (Chapters 1642, 1652, and 1775)

Reincarnation preserves the person but not the old position. Liu Yin relinquishes his Primal Chaos cultivation, fief, public identity, and immediate access to his former power, then deliberately remains at Eternal True God to avoid detection. His ability to rise again is implied by his retained realm, but the latest chapter shows it as an option he refuses, not a recovered Primal Chaos state. The technique's preparation time and other costs are not quantified. (Chapters 1642–1652 and 1775)

Command and long-range planning

As a marquis, Liu Yin commands Royal Guards, cultivator children, dependent sects, and space-time resources across his Primal Chaos State. He uses intelligence, revenue-sharing, threats, and promises of protection to make other groups carry out operations beyond his immediate territory. This structure lets him preserve his true strength until a peer intervenes, but it also creates a major limitation: subordinates pursuing their own cruelty repeatedly provoke Luo Feng beyond Liu Yin's intended territorial calculus. (Chapters 1540, 1558–1559, 1587, and 1595–1598)

Relationships

  • Luo Feng: Liu Yin first views Luo Feng as a powerful Eternal True God to deter or recruit, then becomes his enemy after repeated atrocities by Liu Yin's forces. Defeat at Huyang City grows into fear of complete extermination, prompting Liu Yin to reincarnate and conceal his new life indefinitely.
  • Emperor Chu Yu: Chu Yu does not fight Liu Yin directly, but warns Luo Feng about him and provides the detailed intelligence that exposes the Bloodfire World's mechanics. Liu Yin's defeat later becomes central to the prestige of Chu Yu's Guest Elder.
  • Marquis of Jiu Jiang: Liu Yin attempts to strip Jiu Jiang of two major cities and expects his greater strength and reputation to force surrender. Jiu Jiang resists in defense of his fief but is overpowered until Luo Feng takes over the battle.
  • Liu Yinyan: Liu Yin's most outstanding child receives extraordinary cultivation investment and serves as the invasion's strongest subordinate. Liu Yin intervenes after Luo Feng kills him, chiefly because the public death challenges Liu Yin's standing during a war.
  • Heartshadow Sect: Liu Yin protects the diminished sect and offers it Huyang City as a permanent foundation, using its desperation and remaining heritage to wage his territorial campaign. When Liu Yin retreats, the sect is left without meaningful protection.

Items

  • Bloodfire-patterned long blade: A top-quality Primal Chaos Realm weapon carried by Liu Yin's World's Body. Luo Feng captures it after crushing that body during the battle over Huyang City. (Chapter 1598)
  • Miniature universe crystal sphere: A complete universe crafted by a Godly King and inhabited by countless creatures. Liu Yin values observing and controlling its evolution as a method of cultivating Spiritual Will. (Chapter 1558)
