Huo Bo

A paradoxical Red Demon Demon Saint, **Huo Bo** is one of the Demon Saints that stay behind in Star Boundary to protect the Demon Towers during the Demon War alongside Xue Li and Fu Yu.

## Appearance

Huo Bo has the strange short appearance of a 5 or 6 year old child. His all-red body is very plump, and despite its funny appearance, gives off an extremely dangerous aura like a volcano that is about to explode.

## Background

Huo Bo is a walking miracle of Demon Realm. As a Red Demon, the lowest class of Demon, he has inconceivably reached the level of Demon Saint. It is historically unheard of for a Red Demon to reach any high rank cultivation, and they are usually only useful as cannon fodder.

Like all Red Demons, Huo Bo can self-destruct, causing a massive explosion. But where regular Red Demons would die, Huo Bo can simply reform himself after using this devastating technique. This makes him particularly dangerous among the Demon Saints.

## Past

Around 20,000 years before the Demon War, Huo Bo got into a fight with Xue Li in which he was worse for wear. Ever since, they have had a rivalry of sorts.

## History

### Great Emperor Falls

During the Demon War, 11 Demon Saint Soul Descends eventually gather at the Eternal Sky Continent around Xue Li, who has the Bright Moon Great Emperor trapped in a Blood Array in preparation for stealing the latter’s World's Will for Demon Realm. However, the Bright Moon Great Emperor then suddenly appears to have restored himself before instantly obliterating most of the Soul Descends present, leaving only Demon Saints Xue Li and **Huo Bo** at the scene. Xue Li and Huo Bo then manage to hold off the Bright Moon Great Emperor until all the other Demon Saints’ true bodies can arrive at Eternal Sky Continent. Under the subsequent siege of 12 Demon Saints, the Bright Moon Great Emperor surprisingly still makes an impressive last ditch effort to escape, but he is then fatally sneak attacked by the Night Shadow Great Emperor. The hundreds of Half-Saints of Demon Realm then make their moves toward the Bright Moon Great Emperor in an attempt to gain his World's Will.

Meanwhile, Bei Li Mo and Xue Li proceed to tease Yu Ru Meng, with the consent of Huang Wu Ji, as a Half-Saint by the name of Yue Sang makes a move to attack Yang Kai. To their surprise, however, the already dying Bright Moon Great Emperor then quickly slays Yue Sang before tricking Yang Kai into killing him, allowing a Star Boundary cultivator to retain its World's Will. The Half-Saints and Demon Saints then make a move to pursue Yang Kai, who makes use of Zhui Feng's legendary speed to flee. Yu Ru Meng is then blocked by Huang Wu Ji from interfering in the other Demon Saints’ pursuit, but she then manages to momentarily shake him off.

To the Demon Saints' surprise, Yang Kai manages to successfully escape through a Territory Gate leading out of Eternal Sky Continent before using Space Principles to seal the exit behind him. Demon Saint Chi Yan then tries to open the seal with brute force, but this only results in the formation of a Void Corridor leading into Nihility. Huang Wu Ji then orders the Demon Saints to block off the Two Worlds Entrance of Demon Realm as they search for Yang Kai. During this time, Huang Wu Ji also makes the declaration that Yang Kai must be killed unless he becomes demonized.

### Captured Great Emperors

Yang Kai later escapes from Demon Realm with allies Yu Ru Meng, Chang Tian, and Bei Li Mo before sealing the Two Worlds Passage behind him. However, over a decade later, Can Ye manages to reopen the Two Worlds Passage, allowing the Demon Saints to shockingly enter Star Boundary and confront its 7 remaining Great Emperors in addition to the 3 Demon Saint-level powerhouses Yang Kai escaped with. Huang Wu Ji, Ge Meng, Chi Yan, Xue Li, Huo Bo, Fu Yu, Mo Kan, You Qiu, Wu Hua, and Zu Liao likewise match their numbers evenly. However, the Demon Saints don’t stay in place for long, and immediately proceed to make their way toward different directions throughout Star Boundary. Startled, the Star Boundary top powerhouses proceed to pursue the 10 enemy Demon Saints individually.

Huang Wu Ji manages to isolate the Iron Blood Great Emperor in the Northern Territory. Although he is the strongest Demon Saint, Huang Wu Ji proves to not exactly be Zhan Wu Hen's opponent in Star Boundary. Regardless, Huang Wu Ji and the other 9 Demon Saints suddenly and confidently start a strange chant as the millions of corpses of the Demon Race forces outside the Two Worlds Passage fill the air with Demon Qi. Horrified, Zhan Wu Hen attacks Huang Wu Ji, who then proceeds to grab and hold the former while smiling with complete disregard for any damage suffered. The Great Emperors are then further shocked when the Demon Saints somehow appear to break the World Barrier of Star Boundary to make a connection with Demon Realm, something that should normally be impossible for a Demon Saint to achieve.

After the 10 connections are formed all over Star Boundary, a giant hand comes from the Void of each passage and grabs both the Great Emperors and Demon Saints into a different space, effectively separating them from Star Boundary. Meanwhile, Star Boundary starts to be progressively corroded by Demon Qi as the Demon Race continue to invade from the now 10 Two Worlds Passages that have opened all over Star Boundary.

### Defending Demon Towers

As the Great Emperors are taken into a separate space, Yu Ru Meng, Chang Tian, and Bei Li Mo are unable to resist the will of Mo Sheng. Therefore, their matching Demon Saints in Xue Li, Fu Yu, and Huo Bo are free to remain in Star Boundary, where they guard the many Demon Towers that help the Demon Race to transmit themselves around the Great World. When Dragon Island Great Elders Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun join the war, the Demon Saints are initially able to suppress them due to their superior numbers. When Yang Kai returns to Star Boundary after completely absorbing Demon Realm, the 3 Demon Saints make an attempt to kill him at Star Soul Palace, but they are thwarted by Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun.

Later, to the horror of the Demon Saints, the Dragon Island Great Elders one day come to face them completely healed, and both carry power greater than that of a single Great Emperor. This essentially brings the war to a stalemate for the Demon Saints, as they can only defend their Demon Towers to protect their giant Formation. Eventually, the Profound Heavens Temple opens in Star Boundary, and the 3 Demon Saints gather their Half-Saints so that they can attempt to steal a Great Emperor spot. Unable to act toward Yang Kai due to the protection of Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun outside of the Profound Heavens Temple entrance, Xue Li, who has long despised Yang Kai, orders the Half-Saints to be sure to kill him as they enter the Temple.

### Void Great Emperor

Later, the 3 Demon Saints are furious as they learn that Yang Kai has seized the Great Emperor opportunity during the Final Battle of Star Boundary at High Heaven Palace. They then try to quickly finish the corrosion of Star Boundary before the Illusionary Heavens Furnace appears in the sky, eventually revealing the new Void Great Emperor. The Demon Saints then play their final card as they rely on Can Ye, who had been hidden from the war, to stall Yang Kai until Star Boundary is completely corroded. However, to their horror, Yang Kai slaughters Can Ye within mere moments of their battle. Just when the Demon Saints feel all hope is lost, Mo Sheng finally reveals himself in the form of Demon Qi in order to oppose Yang Kai.

However, things only get worse for the 3 Demon Saints when the other Great Emperors are taken out of the separate space by Wu Kuang/Duan Hongchen. His plans ruined, a furious and desperate Mo Sheng then proceeds to absorb all the Demon Saints and Demon Qi in Star Boundary, except for those saved by Yang Kai, in order to form and/or heal his giant physical body.
