Liu Zu

Liu Zu is a Body Integration-stage Mayfly residing in the Earth Abyss within the Spirit Realm. He is the strongest of the four demon monarchs of the Earth Abyss. As a monarch he ruled over an entire level of the abyss. He originally was a member of the Mayfly Race. At some point he left the race and became a monarch of the abyss.
== First Meeting ==
As a prior member of the Mayfly Race, Liu Zu knew that the Infernal River, the holy realm of the race, contained the Infernal River Elixir. The elixir was a valuable cultivation resource for Body Integration stage cultivators. He coerced the other demon monarchs into invading the river to obtain benefits. 
As the various demon monarchs made preparations to enter the realm, their efforts were disrupted by holy disciples of the Flying Spirit Tribe that were undergoing their Earth Abyss Trial. As a result, Liu Zu met Han Li who was captured by another demon monarch for the purpose of assisting the invasion into the Infernal River. Of the various demon monarchs, Liu Zu was the only monarch that did not fear the Divine Devilbane Lightning that Han Li possessed.
== Infernal River Invasion ==
Liu Zu led the demon invasion into the Infernal River. Upon entering the realm, the invasion caught the attention of the Mayfly Race. The Mayfly used an army of remotely controlled armored puppets to ambush the invasion force. Liu Zu surprised the Mayfly defenders when he overcame Golden Mayfly-tier (Body Integration-stage) puppets. Liu Zu broke the stalemate forcing the puppet defenders to retreat.
Together with the other demon monarchs, Liu Zu invaded a Mayfly fortress that sealed the Infernal River Elixir. The fortress was defended by powerful Infernal Lightning Beasts that were able to evenly match the Body Integration stage demon monarchs. Liu Zu devised a plan to use Han Li as bait to lure the Lightning Beasts away from the fortress. Liu Zu knew the lightning beasts would be attracted to the Divine Devilbane Lightning possessed by Han Li. In order to execute this plan, Liu Zu used a Law Destruction Eye in order to possess Han Li. However, Liu Zu did not know that Han Li already possessed such an eye. Instead of possessing Han Li, Liu Zu's eye instead became nourishment for the eye in Han Li's possession. Han Li pretended to be under the influence of Liu Zu in order to escape from the control of the demon monarchs. 
After Han Li lured away the lightning beasts, Liu Zu infiltrated the Mayfly fortress. In order to obtain the elixir, Liu Zu needed to sever the elixir's connection with a spirit vein. The other demon monarch's fought and distracted the Mayfly guards within the fortress. Luckily, he was successful quickly fleeing the fortress along with the other demon monarchs. He was surprised to see Han Li with his own free-will and stealing the disciples of another demon monarch. 
Liu Zu learned that the elixir was actually a solid brick that required great amounts of time and energy to refine. As a result, he could not fulfil his original promise to split the elixir with the other demon monarchs. He instead offered them treasures and favors as compensation. In an after-battle discussion with the two other demon monarchs, Liu Zu praised Han Li's abilities and boldness. Liu Zu also took the opportunity to chide another demon monarch for intending to harm her disciples forcing Han Li to act and cause her harm.
