Thunder Ancestor

Ancestor of Thunder Ancient CountryDivine Emperor at PerfectionHalf-Primordial Primordial Bloodline cultivator

Thunder Ancestor, whose original name is Xiu Ma, is the founding ancestor of Thunder Ancient Country and one of the Land of Origin's oldest native Divine Emperors. He abandons the Enlightened path for the Primordial Bloodline path, pushes a thunder lineage to Divine Emperor Perfection, and uses descendants, monarchs, and Mt. Leiting to gather resources across successive Source World eras. Proud and violent in his homeland but cautious beyond it, he becomes Luo Feng's principal opponent over whether mass-devouring cultivators may be protected, accepts defeat in their wager, and later meets Luo Feng again from the far lower social tier of the Dark Sacred Realm. (Chapters 1706, 1757, 1760, 1764–1767, and 1864)

Biography

The ancient country's bloodline sovereign

Thunder Ancestor and Primogenitor Yan Feng are lifelong companions who support each other through several Source World eras. Together they capture genuine Primordial Lives and spread their bloodlines through generations across the Land of Origin, diluting the inherited power until descendants can cultivate it. Thunder Ancestor's own route is born partly from limitation: after taking far longer than Yan Feng to reach the Ultimate Realm and failing to find a path into Divine Emperor enlightenment, he abandons the Enlightened lineage and turns to extracting the potential of a Primordial Bloodline through time, resources, and opportunity. (Chapters 1706, 1753, and 1760)

That strategy eventually raises him to Divine Emperor Perfection, the Half-Primordial limit within the braided cage, and makes his thunder bloodline the Land of Origin's strongest Primordial Bloodline lineage. He and Yan Feng cultivate successive generations of emperors and monarchs less as family than as collectors: their descendants occupy valuable territory, gather rare materials, and return enough resources to sustain the ancestors' cultivation. Thunder Ancestor establishes Mt. Leiting as the single holy land of Thunder Ancient Country and invests in a formation so dangerous that it protects the country's monarchs more effectively than the separate capitals of Flame Wind Ancient Country protect its emperors. (Chapters 1738, 1757, and 1760)

When Thunder Ancestor emerges from seclusion, he is studying a High Level Primordial Life corpse and worrying that the Innate Primordial Life Camp's victories may eventually bring invasion to the Land of Origin. Reports of the Galaxy Ruler concern him less than the practical balance of power: under the Source World's restrictions, he believes he can overpower Luo Feng but cannot eliminate him. He orders his monarchs to respect anyone whose power exceeds God King level, punishes Feng Xing for bringing attention to predatory conduct, and initially chooses distance over a confrontation that could disrupt the order supporting his ancient country. The episode also exposes his treatment of the monarchs as replaceable tools whose value lies in collecting treasures. (Chapter 1757)

The balance changes when Luo Feng discovers that White Demon and Lan Duo have spent decades capturing and devouring creatures. Luo's voice penetrates Thunder Ancestor's protected sleeping place, alarming him and prompting consultation with Yan Feng, but Thunder Ancestor refuses to execute valuable subordinates merely at another ruler's request. He orders the offenders into the Heavenly Pillar Realm to obtain treasure or die, a punishment designed to produce resources rather than redress their victims. Luo Feng then kills White Demon and all but one protected avatar of Lan Duo, which Thunder Ancestor interprets as an attack on his dignity and authority. (Chapters 1761–1764)

The wager that changed the Land of Origin

Thunder Ancestor descends on Galaxy Divine Country in anger, blanketing it in thunder and demanding that Luo Feng appear. Once Luo reveals an early-Divine-Emperor physical body, however, Thunder Ancestor immediately recognizes the younger cultivator's future value and begins negotiating rather than pursuing an unwinnable feud. Their disagreement remains fundamental: Luo Feng demands the death of cultivators who devour millions, while Thunder Ancestor regards stronger beings consuming weaker ones as normal and refuses unilateral rules. They settle the dispute by an old Land of Origin custom—a duel whose outcome will decide whether the great sinners are protected or executed. (Chapters 1764–1765)

Thunder Ancestor dominates the opening exchange through realm and technique. A drop of his blood becomes nine creatures that attack Luo Feng's body, soul, and spirit through different bloodline powers, leaving Luo able to devote only a fraction of his attention to counterattack. He then forms multiple thunder avatars, suppresses surrounding Great Daos with formations, and finally deploys his Thunder World Ten Absolute Formations. Luo Feng survives inside the Star Tower and, using the Eye of Life and Death to find the formation's moving weaknesses, repeatedly strikes Thunder Ancestor. Because neither can seriously injure the other under the Source World's power ceiling, those repeated clean hits establish Luo's advantage. (Chapters 1765–1766)

Thunder Ancestor admits defeat despite humiliation and honors the wager. He personally annihilates Lan Duo's last protected avatar with thunder that attacks soul and body, then announces to every King of Thunder Ancient Country that great sinners who have devoured millions will be executed. Yan Feng issues the same order in Flame Wind Ancient Country, and the joint decree creates a rule that even emperors, monarchs, and Ultimate Realm beings cannot openly defy. Thunder Ancestor thereby changes from protector of a predatory hierarchy to an enforcer of Luo Feng's narrow prohibition, not because his moral view changes, but because he accepts the authority determined by their contest. (Chapters 1766–1768)

His relationship with Luo Feng becomes more cooperative afterward. Thunder Ancestor joins Yan Feng, Emperor Qing, and the East Extreme Domain Ancestor in recognizing Luo Feng as one of the Land of Origin's highest figures, offers a Half-Primordial inheritance for an Innate Secret Treasure, and discusses cultivation beyond the braided cage. He openly acknowledges that he abandoned enlightenment for bloodline cultivation and accepts Luo's ascent into the trio of supreme beings then recognized across the Land of Origin. (Chapters 1771–1773)

Yulan City and the worlds beyond

Thunder Ancestor remains one of the Land of Origin's richest and strongest figures. When Luo Feng withdraws an Innate Secret Treasure from Huyang City's defenses, Thunder and four other apex beings visit with goodwill, each hoping to trade for it or for Luo's Special Life Remnants. Thunder appeals to their common Source World and promises safe transactions, but accepts Luo's refusal and waits for a future need rather than attempting coercion. The gathering places him among the six strongest presences still active in their homeland. (Chapters 1799–1800)

The same cultivation level has much less weight in the Dark Sacred Realm. Thunder Ancestor and Yan Feng live together in an ordinary cave mansion in a remote corner of Primordial City, where Thunder is only a Half-Primordial bloodline cultivator among many peers and stronger beings. When news arrives that Luo Feng has become an invincible Divine Emperor after only a millennium there, Thunder excitedly verifies the reports, regrets that they did not offer Luo more support earlier, and agrees not to interrupt his seclusion. The contrast reverses their old positions: the ancestor who once considered Luo a dangerous junior now hopes the invincible cultivator from their homeland will receive them. (Chapter 1860)

Thunder and Yan Feng later attend Luo Feng's public Dao gathering but stand in a remote corner because even the weakest attendees are comparable to them. Luo initially summons more distinguished bloodline cultivators first, leaving both ancestors conscious that their prior relationship with him was shallow. He eventually invites them into the inner garden and introduces them as seniors from his home Source World. Thunder responds by giving his original name, Xiu Ma, and asking Luo to use it, while the association with Luo turns two otherwise ordinary Dark Sacred Realm cultivators into subjects of widespread intelligence interest. (Chapters 1861 and 1864)

At the corpus endpoint, Thunder remains alive and active in the Dark Sacred Realm under the title Thunder God Emperor. No chapter confirms that he completes Bloodline Ultimate Awakening or escapes the braided cage; he remains at the established Half-Primordial bloodline level while benefiting socially from being a fellow native of Luo Feng's Source World. (Chapters 1860–1864)

Appearance and personality

The supplied corpus does not provide a detailed stable description of Thunder Ancestor's ordinary form. It gives him a towering physique in battle, eyes that faintly flash with lightning, and a cold, deep gaze while seated in seclusion. Thunder and his avatars can also appear as silhouettes condensed from thunder, so these manifestations should not be treated as a complete account of his natural body. (Chapters 1761–1762 and 1766)

Thunder is naturally aggressive, proud, and domineering. Within the protected Land of Origin, defiance from his monarchs is intolerable and a perceived slight from Luo Feng brings an explosive personal challenge; beyond the Source World, where stronger beings are common, he has survived by restraint, caution, and repeated endurance. He is not mindlessly reckless: the moment Luo demonstrates sufficient potential and security, Thunder changes from wrath to negotiation, and after losing their formal wager he keeps his word. His curiosity about rare treasures, anxiety over the larger camp war, frank recognition of his own weak comprehension, and willingness to be called Xiu Ma in Luo's presence show a more self-aware side than his ancient-country rule initially suggests. (Chapters 1757, 1760, 1764–1767, and 1864)

Abilities and cultivation

Thunder Ancestor is a Divine Emperor at Perfection, equivalent to a Half-Primordial Life within the braided cage. He reaches this level through Primordial Bloodline cultivation after abandoning the Enlightened path, excavating a thunder lineage over several eras and supplementing it with remains, inheritances, exchanges with other worlds, and direct study of Primordial Life. His path supplies immense power and complex innate techniques without requiring him to comprehend the corresponding Great Daos, but ultimate awakening remains beyond him: even after studying a golden finger bone identified by Yuan as an opportunity, he cannot understand the necessary hint. The corpus also notes the general risks of bloodline will and contamination, although Thunder himself is described as retaining clarity rather than being controlled by the bloodline. (Chapters 1706, 1757, 1760, 1765, and 1864)

Perfect Divine Emperor body and bloodline endurance

His physical body is the most formidable on the Land of Origin. At Divine Emperor Perfection it is effectively immovable under the Source World's capped power, allowing Thunder to stand within Luo Feng's Blood River while destructive forces fail to shake or penetrate him. Outside the Source World his full strength would be far greater, whereas inside it both his offense and an opponent's ability to harm him are restricted to the same ceiling. This produces practical invulnerability rather than absolute invincibility: Luo Feng cannot injure him, but can still repel, outmaneuver, and thereby defeat him under the wager's terms. (Chapters 1761 and 1765–1767)

Thunder's avatars and continuing Source World presence also protect his long cultivation. Eight thunder avatars can condense around his main manifestation for battle, and he keeps duplicate sets of important formations so that an external avatar's death will not deprive his homeland of the treasure. The supplied chapters do not establish the full mechanics or maximum number of his avatars beyond the formations shown. (Chapter 1766)

Thunder domain and soul-annihilating thunder

Thunder Ancestor naturally carries an immense Thunder Domain whose roaming bolts each possess enough power to suppress an Emperor under the Land of Origin's limits. The domain can blanket a national capital and project his anger across surrounding regions, but a sufficiently powerful life-form technique can consume its exposed thunder without harming Thunder himself. Mt. Leiting also conceals an Origin Dao of Thunderbolt, although the corpus does not specify whether Thunder created that Dao, captured it, or merely incorporated it into the holy land. (Chapters 1738 and 1764)

His bloodline thunder can attack more than the physical body. When executing Lan Duo, Thunder produces thunder directly within the target's soul, simultaneously annihilating soul, consciousness, and body at the Land of Origin's power ceiling. This is an innate bloodline application rather than evidence that Thunder comprehends a Soul Dao. It kills Lan Duo instantly outside Mt. Leiting's protection, while Luo Feng's much stronger spiritual defenses and Star Tower withstand comparable multi-layer attacks. (Chapters 1765 and 1767)

Nine-creature bloodline technique

After devouring a Low Level Primordial Life, Thunder derives its bloodline secret technique and further perfects it. A single drop of his Perfect-Divine-Emperor blood divides into nine autonomous creatures, each at the Source World's maximum permitted power and each built from a different force. The shown applications include fire that ignites every fundamental life unit, thunder that marks the body, a spiritual being that attacks consciousness, penetrating dark wind, and blood-colored flowers that absorb bodily power; the remaining manifestations are not individually explained. Together they attack body, soul, and spirit so continuously that Luo Feng can spare only twenty to thirty percent of his attention for offense. (Chapter 1765)

The technique's strength lies in simultaneous, mechanically different pressures rather than a single decisive blow. It cannot bypass the Star Tower's complete protection under the Land of Origin's rules, and the cap on each creature's force prevents the formation from expressing Thunder's full Half-Primordial power. Outside the Source World the attack would be much stronger, but the supplied corpus does not show a representative external use. (Chapters 1765–1766)

Great-Dao suppression formations

Thunder can condense eight additional thunder selves so that nine Thunder Ancestors form a large array. The formation suppresses the operation of Time, Space, Matter, Life, and other Great Daos, quiets Luo Feng's Blood River, and weakens Star Tower's charges. An ancient stone pillar can serve as its core and increase that suppression until the Star Tower becomes lost and cannot reach Thunder directly. (Chapter 1766)

His strongest prepared formation is Thunder World Ten Absolute Formations. Ten thunder silhouettes each control a component array, and their union forms a self-contained Thunder World with rules hostile to foreign forces. Thunder owns two sets, one kept outside and one retained in the Source World. The formation is a powerful labyrinth and suppression field, but not flawless: the Eye of Life and Death reveals dozens of shifting operational weaknesses, allowing the empowered Star Tower to pass through them and repeatedly locate Thunder. Its maker was an unnamed Half-Primordial Enlightened cultivator whom Thunder commissioned, so its detailed construction is not Thunder's own demonstrated Dao comprehension. (Chapter 1766)

Mt. Leiting and long-range perception

Thunder Ancestor builds Mt. Leiting into the Land of Origin's strongest defensive position. Its formations guard an enormous region, shelter avatars and resurrection carriers, and reduce Luo Feng's spiritual-will or causality attacks by roughly seventy to eighty percent in demonstrated cases. With Thunder personally present, even Luo Feng's Eye of Life and Death judges an assault incapable of injuring him or breaching the holy land. The defense is not metaphysically absolute: Luo can see through its layers and could breach it if only the monarchs controlled it, while his sound transmission still reaches Thunder's secluded world. (Chapters 1738, 1746, and 1761–1763)

Thunder can trace causality and space-time to reconstruct major events soon after they occur, as shown when he determines what happened to White Demon and Lan Duo in the Heavenly Pillar Realm. His transmission tokens allow secure long-distance consultation with Yan Feng. These are potent investigative tools, but Luo Feng's higher-grade Eye of Life and Death sees past protections Thunder had expected to be private, and the corpus does not define the full range or precision of Thunder's tracing. (Chapters 1762 and 1764)

Relationships

  • Luo Feng: Thunder first treats the Galaxy Ruler as a dangerous but inexperienced junior. Their conflict over predatory monarchs becomes a formal wager; Thunder loses, honors the result, and later relates to Luo as one of the Land of Origin's highest peers. In the Dark Sacred Realm, their hierarchy reverses, and Xiu Ma accepts Luo's invitation as an old senior from the same homeland. (Chapters 1757, 1761–1767, 1771–1773, and 1860–1864)
  • Primogenitor Yan Feng: Yan Feng is Thunder's lifelong companion across several Source World eras. They capture and propagate Primordial bloodlines together, consult each other on Luo Feng, jointly establish the new rule against great sinners, travel beyond the Source World, and share modest lodgings in Primordial City. (Chapters 1706, 1753, 1757, 1762, 1767–1768, and 1860–1864)
  • Lan Duo Monarch: Lan Duo is one of the resource-gathering monarchs cultivated under Thunder. Thunder initially preserves him as a useful tool and leaves his last avatar protected in Mt. Leiting, but after losing the wager he destroys that avatar with soul-annihilating thunder. (Chapters 1757 and 1760–1767)
  • White Demon Monarch: White Demon interprets Mt. Leiting's protection and Thunder's indifference as permission to continue mass captures. Thunder punishes him by demanding treasure rather than death; Luo Feng then kills him completely, provoking Thunder's confrontation over lost authority. (Chapters 1757 and 1760–1766)
  • Emperor Qing: Emperor Qing regards Thunder and Yan Feng's enduring partnership as the model for companions venturing outside a Source World. He observes Thunder's wager with Luo and later stands alongside him among the Land of Origin's apex cultivators. (Chapters 1753, 1764–1767, and 1771–1773)

Items

  • Mt. Leiting: Thunder Ancient Country's holy land and Thunder Ancestor's primary Source World stronghold. Its layered worlds, hidden thunder Dao, and costly formations protect the country's monarchs and Thunder's secluded avatars. (Chapters 1738, 1746, 1757, and 1761–1763)
  • Golden finger bone: Thunder's final retained Special Life Remnant, containing thunder secret patterns and the image of a towering creature. Yuan tells him that it contains an opportunity for ultimate awakening, but Thunder remains unable to comprehend the necessary insight. (Chapter 1760)
  • Thunder World Ten Absolute Formations: Thunder's strongest formation treasure, maintained in two sets. It combines ten arrays into a suppressive Thunder World, though Luo Feng's Eye of Life and Death exposes routes through its shifting structure. (Chapter 1766)
  • Ancient stone pillar: A formation core that intensifies the nine-avatar array's suppression of surrounding Great Daos. Its origin and formal name are not stated. (Chapter 1766)
