夏 **Xià** - *Summer*, 光 **Guāng** - *Light*

雷帝 **Léi Dì** - *Thunder Emperor*: A new generation Thunder Emperor and inheritor of his Sacred Artifact, 雷帝之眼 Thunder Emperor's Eye.

## Appearance

### Initial

A youth looked around twenty from the outside. He was dressed in red and was swift as booming thunder. His actual age was higher than twenty. Still, as compared to others of the same cultivation level, he was still extremely young, so much so that most would be shocked by it. Such a young first level Martial Saint was extremely rare even in the entire World Beyond Worlds. He could be called handsome if not for the tragic wound that ran across his face, destroying his right eye.

While he wielded no weapon, brandishing his palm like a sabre, each sabre caused thunder light to surge to the heavens. That thunder light was crimson like blood, terrifying and mournful. The exposed skin of the youth’s body that was not concealed by his red clothes, some tattoos could actually be seen on him. Those tattoos were crimson as blood as they resembled thunder and flashing lightning, making for a shocking sight. Due to the clothes he was wearing, only a small portion of that tattooed image was currently visible. As he battled, the youth unceasingly drew out his potential as the tattoos could visibly be seen extending on his body! Soon, that image which resembled thunderbolts of blood had already enveloped his arms and neck as it extended towards his face. It looked just like tragic wounds had been opened up on his body’s exterior as they all crisscrossed.

His right eye had been blinded by those of Three Legged Mountain back at the Xia Family compound when he had been captured and had refused to cower and lower his head.

### Thunderbolt Blood Overdraft

Collapsing into a sitting position within the valley due to his weakened body, he suddenly realised that his hair was had already turned white, with his longevity overdrafted, resulting in an older look. He was a white-haired, red-clothed person who only had one eye remaining. Due to that previous battle, he had already turned from a youth to a white-haired person who was already about to enter old age.

### Life Creation Heavenly Scripture

A tall youngster with defined lines on his face. He had rather handsome features. He also had a black eyepatch over his right eye. Currently, Xia Guang looked to be even younger than twenty. Back when he had stimulated his Blood Thunderbolt Ritual in entering a protracted battle, there had been a great depletion in his longevity which had resulted in him looking over fifty on the outside, soon to reach old age from his younger years. That had not been Xia Guang deliberately changing his external appearance. It was because with the longevity that had still remained after its grave depletion, he had indeed been stepping into old age. Now, however, it was like he had regained his youth. This too was not from his deliberately changing his external appearance. Instead, it was a result of him cultivating in the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture of the ten Primordial Heavenly Scriptures after entering Broad Creed Mountain’s lineage, his longevity having been bolstered greatly. Considering his age relative to his longevity now, he could not even be considered a youth, just a teenager at most.

Xia Guang’s clothes had also changed from that original red to the trademark look of Broad Creed Mountain’s core, direct lineage disciples as he wore the same white clothes with a black-bordered blue robe as Yan Zhaoge.

## Personality

Xia Guang has an easy-to-flare up temper and unswerving personality. He is a tempermental proud moral gangster, arrogant towards those above but does not bully those beneath. He hates wickness and follows lawful morality.

Xia Guang was heavily influenced by his emotions in making his decisions, being a hot-blooded, fearless person by nature.

First not mentioning how he was restless and quick to anger, he had seldom come into contact with the outside world as he had lived in seclusion in the Xia Family back then. While had had often gone adventuring outside to temper himself ever since entering Broad Creed Mountain, he was still not well versed in matters such as interpersonal conversations.
While Xia Guang did not want to stay at the Mountain, he had always unconditionally abided by the words of Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.

His right eye which had been blinded by those of Three Legged Mountain was his reverse scale. If someone just kept on staring at his right eye, even that would make him feel angry.

While he seemed even more solemn, the gaze in his only remaining eye was resolute, not wavering or containing any fear in the least.

He contempted evil, and he was both fierce and upright. Throughout the years, his temper had slowly subsided, and he wasn’t as short-tempered as he was in the past in the World Beyond Worlds.

After his hatred and anger disappeared, and after years of polishment before the recently founded Heaven Beyond Heavens, Xia Guang became better at handling his emotions.

## History

### Xia Family

127 members out of the total 130 Xia Family members were killed by Three Legged Mountain's martial practitioners. Xia Guang’s targets would definitely be the higher echelon experts of Three Foot Mountain. To him, his greatest desire would really be to decimate Three Foot Mountain entirely.

### Younger Xia Guang

He was living in a secluded courtyard that was locked down by restrictions. Because of this, he possessed a natural Southeastern Yang Heaven Territory accent. Xia Guang had been residing at home all along before. While his family members had indeed told him some news about the outside world, the news he received was still limited.

He bore Thunderbolt Blood, his talent and comprehension abilities in the martial dao being extremely outstanding. The family originally had high hopes of him, not even having intended for him to succeed their martial arts as they had instead to tried to get him inside a major sect.

Back then, the Listening Thunder Peak’s Xia Family had been subordinate to a major power of the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range which had been their backer. Sadly, Xia Guang had a bad, fierce temper. Before even having entered the sect, he had caused some major trouble, hence causing everything to fall through.

Not only that, in order to avoid trouble, the Xia Family had announced to those of the outside world that he had died young. A supreme genius who had yet to truly shine vanished in the eyes of the outside world just like that. Xia Guang had almost never been able to leave the family after that as he was effectively confined.

Xia Guang too had been dissatisfied about this in the past. Still, thinking about it now, he felt that that was also a form of protection by his family towards him. His mother’s painstaking efforts in raising him and his father’s sadness that iron could not turn into steel was currently deeply imprinted within his mind.

Xia Guang had been residing in his home before, seldom coming into contact with the outside world. If there was new information in the outside world, his family members would still tell him about it. Still, most of this information was related to the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range. With the position of the Listening Thunder Peak’s Xia Family, events within the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range were of the most import to them. While events of a higher level might affect their life whether overtly or covertly, there was no use worrying about these things. Xia Guang knew little information which was unrelated to the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range. While he had heard of the great battle between the Southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and the Southern Blazing Heaven Territory, he had not really taken this to heart.

Xia Guang seldom ventured into the outside world and was inexperienced, being a straightforward person too. Still, when casually chatting with him, his family members had often talked about the conflicts occurring between the peak major powers of the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range. Xia Guang was usually disinterested in this, treating it like a story at most.

## Plot

### Running Around the Southern Exalt's Territory - Three Lessons

While Xia Guang was rather knowledgeable, also being a Martial Saint, there was little that he knew about alchemy.

### 'Blood Thunderbolt' Xia Guang

Three Step Simple Plan:

1. Find medicinal pill to heal up
2. Return to the Southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, if can, reunite with any Xia Family members
3. Become strong to revenge upon Three Legged Mountain

Yan Zhaoge's Three Lessons:

1. *When you are in a worrying predicament, you have to be exceptionally careful, especially when you don’t know who may suddenly become your enemy.*
2. *Fury can be a powerful force much of the time. There is no need for us to reject this force. Rather, we should make use of it. Still, the precondition is that we are not blinded by it. Such would only make one die even faster.*
3. *When battling others in the future, you must remember to keep a bit of caution at all times. The other side may produce an unexpected trump card or killing move. If you are taken unawares and fall to this move, however many methods and ultimate techniques you yourself possess, you would still be unable to use them as you can only perish with grievances.*

Five years ago, Xia Guang who had returned to the Southeastern Yang Heaven Territory along with Yan Zhaoge had successfully become a disciple of Broad Creed Mountain just like he wished. To him, the various tests had not been difficult to pass. While he had started out as a white-clothed disciple as per sect rules, he had quickly donned a blue robe and afterwards one which was black-bordered as he thus became a core disciple of Broad Creed Mountain. Also, the master whose tutelage he had gone under in the end was Yan Di.

Besides Xia Guang, two other descendants of the Listening Thunder Peak’s Xia Family had been out adventuring back then, thus having survived the tragic decimation of the family in the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range. After returning to the Southeastern Yang Heaven Territory with Yan Zhaoge and becoming a disciple of Broad Creed Mountain back then, he had returned to the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range to look for them as soon as he could. Yet, he had received news that his elder brother and sister had both not returned from their trip.

Over the past five years, Broad Creed Mountain had secured Golden Court Mountain’s help and searched within the domain of the Southeastern Yang Heaven Territory but to no avail. Xia Guang could only temporarily quell his anxiety. He thought that the two of them might have heard about what had happened with the family back then. Being worried about being silenced by Three Legged Mountain, they were temporarily hiding outside, having changed their names and altered their identities.

Therefore, after settling down in Broad Creed Mountain, he had constantly ventured outside from time to time. The fame of ‘Blood Thunderbolt’ Xia Guang was currently also not just limited to the Royal Reed Sea as he had become yet another rather renowned martial practitioner of Broad Creed Mountain after Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di who had been cultivating and not moving around outside in recent years. Xia Guang had no desire to spread his fame, just wishing that his kin could hear of him and come seeking him in the Royal Reed Sea.

In recent years, ‘Blood Thunderbolt’ Xia Guang had been an increasingly famous name amongst Broad Creed Mountain’s younger generation. Still, there were both good and bad parts here. While Xia Guang’s strength was outstanding and exhibited the great might of Broad Creed Mountain, he would also run into some trouble every once in a while. He might not be the one at fault for certain in some things. Still, things would have gone much better if there had someone who was well versed in the hearts of others handling these affairs instead.

#### Revenge

In the past, when the Broad Creed Mountain dominated over the World beyond Worlds’ Eastern Vast Heaven Territory, and was clashing against the Kunlun Mountain’s Qilin Cliff of the Earth Sovereign, Xia Guang had personally crushed through the Three Foot Mountain after having enough confidence. He annihilated the entire Three Foot Mountain and took revenge for his family.

However, he was still a little short-tempered. As such, Yan Di, Yuan Zhengfeng, Fang Zhun, and the others were still observing Xia Guang in the 20 years after before founding Heaven Beyond Heavens, seeing if he had what it takes to be the Disciplinary Hall’s First Seat Elder.

## Cultivation

### **“Shocking talent, unordinary comprehension, painstaking diligence,” Yan Di evaluated.**

**Early Merging Avatar Martial Saint**: While his Late Seeing Divinity Martial Saint opponent was hard pressed to exert his usual strength due to certain reasons, it was also true that Xia Guang's prowess far surpassed that of ordinary martial practitioners of the same cultivation level. Let alone Early Merging Avatar Martial Saint opponents, even most martial practitioners of the Mid Merging Avatar Martial Saint realm should be no match for Xia Guang.

## Abilities

Thunderbolt Blood

* Blood Thunderbolt Ritual
* Great Sun Glorious Heavenly Thunder
	+ The Great Sun Glorious Heavenly Thunder was ranked eighth amongst the Nine Heavenly Immortal Thunders. As for the Great Sun Glorious Heavenly Thunder, it was at the supreme peak of yang amongst the transformations of two extremities where yin and yang intermingled. It had commonly been said before the Great Calamity that those who bore Thunderbolt Blood were conducive for gaining control over Great Sun Glorious Heavenly Thunder.

Booming Thunder Sabre

* While he wielded no weapon, brandishing his palm like a sabre, each sabre caused thunder light to surge to the heavens. That thunder light was crimson like blood, terrifying and mournful.
* Xia Guang hacked out with a sabre, bloodred thunderbolts transforming into a terrifying sabre which instantly extended tens of thousands of feet, condensing into a massive sabre which seemed able to cleave the heavens and split the earth apart as it hacked down. Where the sabre-light passed, the mountain was directly reduced to a deep abyss! The terrifying light of thunder continued leaping unceasingly within the air, resembling numerous thick crimson snakes of electricity which were savage and terrifying as they did not dissipate for a long time.
