Xiaode

Xiaode is the leading expert of the demi-human middle generation and a high-ranked figure on the Proclamation of Liberation. He survives conflicts in the capital and White Emperor City, then serves as the main fighting power of a demi-human reinforcement army in the final northern campaign. (Chapters 554, 575, 616–624, 963–1041, and 1160)

Biography

South Stream Temple

By the time of the White Emperor City crisis, Xiaode has recovered from the serious wounds inflicted by the Demon Lord and remains one of the strongest non-Divine cultivators present. He watches Xuanyuan Po's unexpected entry into the Heavenly Selection with wary respect, survives the Wildfire trial because of superior cultivation and prior experience, and joins Jin Yulu in penetrating the imperial defenses. The conspiracy's collapse leaves him aligned with the White Emperor's order rather than Madam Mu's faction, and he later carries that practical loyalty into the war against the demons. (Chapters 575, 957–999, 1004–1041, and 1160)

Appearance and personality

Xiaode is marked by tawny, ruthless eyes and an intimidating presence. Mud-caked clothing and exhaustion after infiltrating the imperial city do not lessen that ferocity. He is suspicious of hidden preparations, direct in danger, and capable of cooperating with former opponents when demi-human survival requires it. (Chapters 957, 998–999, and 1033)

Abilities and cultivation

He is a peak Star Condensation expert, later ranked second on the Proclamation of Liberation. His demi-human physique, combat experience, and prior baptism by Wildfire let him resist effects that disable weaker competitors. He is still below the Divine Domain and cannot simply overwhelm White Emperor City's deepest defenses or its Angels. (Chapters 616–624, 862, 963, and 1033–1039)

Relationships

• Xuanyuan Po: Xiaode initially regards Xuanyuan as a surprising rival in the Heavenly Selection. Xuanyuan's gathered support and resilience force him to reassess a youth long dismissed by White Emperor City. (Chapters 957–963)
• Jin Yulu: Xiaode and Jin Yulu cooperate during the struggle inside White Emperor City, advancing through its defenses and preparing to challenge even the Angels together. (Chapters 998–1039)
• White Emperor: After Madam Mu's defeat, Xiaode accepts the White Emperor's restored authority and later serves the demi-human war effort. (Chapters 1041 and 1160)

Items

• Combat gear: Xiaode is not defined by a named personal artifact in the supplied evidence; his fighting reputation rests on cultivation, physique, and experience. (Chapters 963–1039)
