Li Wudi

* Start (Manhua)
* Past (Manhua)

Li Wudi is the current sect leader of the Li Saint Clan, step-father to Li Tianming, and father to Li Qingyu. After overcoming his Lifesbane, he took down Yuwen Taiji and became the Grand-Orient Sect's Sect Master. He would later become the Palace Lord of the Decimo Dao Palace, taking over from Weisheng Yunxi.

## Appearance

A middle aged man with a drunkyard expression.

When he overcame his Lifebane, his hair turned red. His eyes glowed a menacing red, the same shade as his hair.

The crimson and gold coffin continued shaking for close to two hours before it settled down and opened up, letting the gold and crimson liquid stream out from within. Steam and vapor filled the surroundings as a naked, red-haired man climbed out of the coffin. His hair looked like it was aflame like his eyes. The impact he gave off didn't pale in comparison to the golden-haired sun emperor in the slightest. What was more eye-catching were his bane-rings. There were eight bloody bane-rings, four on each arm. They had the faces of great beasts and they seemed to roar like they were alive. At that moment, a bloody mark surfaced near his chest, seemingly burning to form a new bane-ring that had the face of a dragon. The flaming dragon on the center of his chest roared along with the eight beasts on his arms.

## Personality

Li Wudi used to be an easygoing and carefree person in his youth. After the betrayal from his sworn brother Yuwen Taiji, he became a drunkard and had the looked as if he had given up. In reality, he's waiting for an opportune moment to make a comeback and get revenge.

Li Wudi was lazy, had little self-control, and possessed no desire for power. All he wanted was to live free and happy. But in terms of fighting spirit, he was every bit as formidable as the Sun Emperor. Having endured fourteen years of suffering, tenacity was written in his bones.

## Lifesbane

Li Wudi used to have four bane-rings, but after overcoming his Lifesbane at the threat of his life, they evolved to become Crimson Beastbane-rings. From four black bane-rings, they became six blood bane-rings with animal faces. On his right arm, four of them are angry beastial faces, and the fifth one is a dragon. On his left, the sixth bane-ring was a qilin. As he continued to cultivate, he gained a seventh bane-ring which had a Xuanwu. It later evolved into eight bane-rings, becoming the first octobane in the history of the Li Saint Clan.

His lifesbane grant him and his beast the ability of Bloodfiend Transformation. Both undergo a transformation and Li Wudi is covered in bloody scales while his head becomes an amalgamation of a few wildbeast. His beast turns blood red and fill the surroundings with a sense of dread.

It also allows him to use his blood to plant a Bloodfiend Bane on a person or beast and allow him to pinpoint their location. If too many Bloodfiend Banes on someone, they'll die.

Eight gigantic blood-red beasts appeared in front of the Divine Sun Palace. These were extremely rare ancient beasts with humanoid bodies and beast heads. Although the red mist that covered them from head to toe obscured their true appearance, it was clear they were Li Wudi's Totems.

Li Wudi used to have eight Crimson Beastbane rings, but there was an additional dragon-faced bane-ring at the center of his chest. The nine totems that were manifested were all gigantic mythical beasts, including a dragon, phoenix, qilin, and black tortoise to name a few. They took up an impressive amount of space in the sea of flames. Like the flaming beasts of the formation, they seemed to possess bloodlines that ranged back to the day of the flameyellow divinities.

## Lifebound Beast

Li Wudi is a single beastmaster. After being capture by the Sun Emperor and force-fed high-tier resources, his Lifebound Beast evolved rapidly.

Lifebound Beast: Primordial Bloodbane Kunpeng

* After it was pierced with the Venomdrake Spike, it is in a near death state. Li Wudi jokingly calls it the Voided Kunpeng since it was wounded. It was previously a Void Kunpeng, a third order Saint Beast and has thirty-nine stars.
	+ It has the ability, Bloodtear Sphere, which manifests a blood-colored sphere filled with Bloodtear Frigid Ki.
* It became an Ancient Infernalblood Kunpeng, a sixth-order saint beast with sixty-five stars. In its kun form, it is a bloodsea-type.
* It became a Primordial Bloodbane Kunpeng after Li Wudi became a Sky Saint and refined an empyrean manna, an eighth-order beast with eighty-six stars.
* **Ancient Infernalblood Kunpeng** - Although Tianming didn’t know what super beast it had then evolved into, it was obvious the Sun Emperor had made every effort toward its transformation. Due to its sheer speed, the sky seemed to turn red.
* **Solar Infernalblood Kunpeng** - It was an enormous kunpeng enveloped in bloody flames. It was formerly a void kunpeng, but had later evolved into an ancient infernalblood kunpeng. Now that it was a sovereign beast, it was called a solar infernalblood kunpeng

## History

In his youth, Li Wudi has shown unmatched talent and had four bane-rings. At the age of ten, he reached the Unity Stage. At the age of seventeen, he reached the peak of Unity and was considered as the number one genius of the Li Saint Clan.

During one of the Grand-Orient Sect's competition in the Abyssal Battlefield, he was backstabbed by Yuwen Taiji with a Venomdrake Spike which halted his cultivation progress. He wasn't killed due to the fact that Yuwen Taiji wanted to torture him and take away his wife, Mu He, who he fancied. Instead of giving in, Mu He took her life. Following that incident, Li Wudi spends most of his time in the Li Mausoleum with drink in hand but was secretly cultivating under the threat of death in order to overcome his Lifesbane.

He later made a recovery during the Grand-Orient Realm Sect War, breaking through to the Sky Saint Stage and emerged to defeat Yuwen Taiji, taking his place as sect master and defending the sect from Heaven's Elysium. He would go on to defeat both Yuan Hun of the Earthorigin Sect and Jun Shengxiao of Heaven's Elysium and unite the entire Grand Orient Realm under the Grand-Orient Sect.

When Li Tianming was taken by Ancient Qilin Clan, he came to see Decimo Dao Palace to save Li Tianming. When Meng Tingyu infiltrated the Grand-Orient Sect, he caught her and interrogated her. After that he joined the Decimo Dao Palace to fight against the Ancient Theocrats and he was appointed to be the next Palace Master of the Decimo Dao Palace. After he saw Li Qingyu going towards the moon, he also went to check about the history of Li Saint Clan being used as a guinea pig. It was not known where he had gone, not even Ye Shaoqing did. Before leaving he sent a letter to Li Tianming] to look after Li Qingyu.

After enduring for fourteen years, he had awakened eight bane-rings and changed his destiny, but unbeknownst to him those conditions would cause a disaster, taking him from the Flameyellow Continent to Orderia, then trapped in the Divine Sun Palace by the Sun Emperor. When the Sun Emperor wanted to destroy the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect using the Divine Sun Palace, Li Wudi managed to steal the Solar Wheel. Without the Solar Wheel, the Sun Emperor cannot operate the Divine Sun Palace.

According to the Sun Emperor, **Li Wudi** and him were the same person. The difference being the time and location of their birth..

Li Tianming killed the Sun Emperor, releasing Li Wudi from his imprisonment.

Li Wudi explained to Li Tianming the details behind the "secret experiment", between the Sun Emperor and him. It turns out Li Wudi isn't the Sun Emperor's clone. In terms of seniority, the Sun Emperor can be considered Li Wudi's great-great-great-great-great-grandson of god knows how many generations! After all, people multiply faster in the Chaos Skyjail. A generation is twenty years!

The Sun Emperor was truly shameless, His control of the Flameyellow Coffin exceeded that of all his seniors and he even obtained some technique that made Li Wudi's soul fuse with his inside the coffin into a coffin soul, allowing him to control both bodies. He also used Li Wudi's identity as a flameyellow divinity to gain even finer control over the coffin, which allowed him to activate the Flameyellow Guard Formation and gain immense power. It was no wonder the sun emperor had insisted on dominating Wudi before facing Tianming. Without Wudi, there would be no way for him to control the Flameyellow Coffin!

Thanks to the coffin soul fusion, the Sun Emperor's cultivation and insights were passed down to Li Wudi, allowing Li Wudi to reach parity with him in power. Another miracle happened as a result of that: the appearance of Li Wudi's ninth bane-ring. It probably happened because of the reaction of Li Wudi's flameyellow divinity bloodline with the Flameyellow Coffin.

Now that Li Wudi has control over the Flameyellow Coffin and the Flameyellow Guard Formation, he became the defender of the Flameyellow Imperial Star.
