Ding Yi

Manhua

Making a name for himself during the opening of Great Ruins Boundary, Ding Yi is the cultivator who takes advantage of the Secret Boundary's suppression on Open Heaven Realm cultivators by leading a massive number of Emperor Realm cultivators in opposing them.

## Appearance

Ding Yi has a large and burly appearance.

## Personality

Very headstrong and confident, Ding Yi does not back down even when faced with overwhelming odds. His headstrong personality can be somewhat endearing at times while obnoxious at others. He appears to have quite a bit of charisma, as he continues to have many followers in his influence of Emperor Heaven.

## Background

Ding Yi, while not the most extraordinary talent, is actually found to be impressive enough to be chosen as the Bearer of the Divine Spirit Bi Fang. Due to this, he managed to condense the High Rank Fire Attribute of Bi Fang into his Dao Seal. Though Yang Kai suspects this goes beyond his limits and could spell doom for him in the future, Di Ying continues to lead the remaining members of Emperor Heaven, further demonstrating his determined and headstrong personality.

## History

### Great Ruins Boundary

Almost as soon as Yang Kai arrived in Great Ruins Boundary, Ding Yi is seen wildly attacking an Open Heaven in the Star City Fragment they currently resided in. Drawing cheers and support from surrounding Emperors, Ding Yi immediately takes on a leadership role for the Emperors looking for a rallying point. When a beast tide attacks the Star City Fragment, Ding Yi foolishly tries to attack Yang Kai so that he could acquire Yue He for his personal pleasure. When Emperor Heaven and Ding Yi are about to be completely massacred by Yang Kai, and Earth Dragon appears, and the latter ends up letting them off to pursue other matters.

Later, Ding Yi, now with a massive number of Emperor Heaven followers, runs into Yang Kai again at Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain as the latter confronts Sword Pavilion. Having gained a profound respect for Yang Kai's strength, Ding Yi orders Emperor Heaven to fight with Sword Pavilion to protect Yang Kai. Sword Pavilion uses a powerful Sword Formation to almost completely route Emperor Heaven, but before they gain the complete upper hand, Yang Kai unleashes some Yuan Magnetic Divine Light on them to prevent them from fighting the superior numbers of Emperor Heaven. With this advantage, Sword Pavilion suffers massive losses at the hands of Ding Yi and his forces, who once again are grateful to Yang Kai.

### Primordial Land

Having been chosen as the Bearer of Bi Fang, Ding Yi and Emperor Heaven participate in the Seizing Spirits War. Ding Yi would again meet Yang Kai in front of the World Tree in Great Ruins Boundary. Here, Ding YI entered and acquired a World Fruit, of unknown quality, from the World Tree. Later, Ding Yi would be one of the many Bearers saved from the wrath of their respective Divine Spirit when Yang Kai took him into his Sealed World Bead.

### Blood Monster Cave Heaven

Now a decently powered Half-Step Open Heaven, Ding Yi would participate in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven opening. Here, leading Emperor Heaven, he would again run into Yang Kai when the latter is being confronted by many Cave Heaven and Paradise Core Disciples looking to kill him due to the fact their respective influences do not want him to directly reach High Rank Open Heaven Realm. Ding Yi impressively blocks a strike of Yin Xin Zhao, and even directs a troublesome attack back at him. However, Ding Yi and others are eventually forced to comply with the Black Crow Divine Monarch in opening the Blood Monster Divine Palace.

Standing alongside Yang Kai, Qu Hua Chang, Zhang Ruo Xi, Gu Pan, Lin Feng, Ning Dao Ran, and several others, Ding Yi helps them to hold off a 7th Rank Turtle Monster Beast for a time before entering the Blood Monster Divine Palace.
