Blood Crow

* Divine Soul
* Zhou Yi’s Body

Initially known as **Black Crow Divine Monarch**, Blood Crow is the former High Rank Open Heaven Realm master who was imprisoned until his physical death in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven by the Blood Monster Divine Monarch in the past, after which his surviving Divine Soul mastered the Grand Evolution Immortal Blood Light Scripture as he awaited an opportunity to revive himself.

## Appearance

Having stolen the body of a Great Thousand Blood Land disciple, Zhou Yi, Blood Crow has an unassuming, youthful look.

## Personality

Crafty and cruel, the Blood Crow Divine Monarch has a selfish and cunning disposition.

## Background

As an 8th Rank Open Heaven Realm cultivator in his original lifetime, Blood Crow is very wise to the ways of cultivation. In the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, even Yang Kai was not his match when in peak condition. This is also due to his mastery of the Grand Evolution Immortal Blood Light Scripture, a Heaven-defying Secret Art somewhat comparable to Heaven Devouring Battle Law. However, despite his own impressive skill, he would find he is surprisingly far surpassed by Yang Kai's strength on Ink Battlefield.

Later, it is learned that Blood Monster and Blood Crow's Grand Evolution Immortal Blood Light Scripture is actually just an unfinished product of Shi(Devourer), one of the Ten Great Antiquity Experts of the Human Race, who cast it aside in order to found Heaven Devouring Battle Law.

## Past

### Universe Furnace

Later, it is revealed by Blood Crow that he attended the last opening of the Universe Furnace approximately 40,000 years before the 3,000 Worlds War against the Ink Clan.

### Blood Monster

A staunch enemy of the Blood Monster Divine Monarch, Blood Crow, then known as the Black Crow Divine Monarch, was imprisoned by the former in his Small Universe World, the infamous Blood Monster Cave Heaven. Here, Blood Crow would eventually free himself from the shackles of his imprisonment as a mere Divine Soul, and manages to master much of the Blood Monster Divine Monarch's Grand Evolution Immortal Blood Light Scripture. In need of a flesh body, he would await the arrival of a suitable candidate in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven.

## History

### Rebirth

As Yang Kai, carrying extremely vigorous Golden Dragon Blood, studied the fake Immortal Blood Light Scripture set out by Black Crow, the latter makes an attempt to seize his body. However, Yang Kai manages to not only resist Black Crow, but damages his Divine Soul as well. Black Crow would instead take over the body of the 2nd Class Great Thousand Blood Land's Core Disciple, Zhou Yi. Facing down Yang Kai, Qu Hua Chang, and Pei Wen Xuan, Black Crow's strength is overwhelming. However, he is surprisingly forced to retreat by Yang Kai, who shockingly mastered a Divine Ability Manifestation in the Emperor Realm.

Black Crow recollects himself by swallowing the Blood Essence of many inhabitants of the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, and goes after Yang Kai again. Though he exceeds Yang Kai in strength, Black Crow is forced to retreat after the former targets his already injured and weakened Divine Soul.

Later, Blood Crow convinces Yang Kai to help him to enter the Blood Monster Divine Palace in exchange for the method to remove the Blood Dao Restriction that keeps the native inhabitants of the Universe Cave Heaven imprisoned within it. Once they enter, Black Crow's plan to refine the Palace and control the Blood Monster Cave Heaven is eventually thwarted by Yang Kai, and the Blood Monster Cave Heaven collapses as the latter escapes. Wanted by the Cave Heavens and Paradises for the slaughtering of numerous disciples, Black Crow somehow manages to escape from Blood Monster Territory with numerous indigenous members of the Blood Monster Cave Heaven at his command.

### Shattered Heaven

Hiding out in Shattered Heaven, Black Crow Divine Monarch quickly promotes to the 5th Rank Open Heaven Realm. Swallowing many people in Shattered Heaven, Black Crow has his own personal mini-army of Middle Rank Open Heaven Realms that he freed from Abundance City. Eventually, Yang Kai would appear before him, sheltered by a powerful Divine Spirit, and a presents Black Crow with a unique opportunity to force some Cave Heaven/Paradise members to take a loss. Though he pretends to reject Yang Kai's offer, Black Crow would later greatly aid Yang Kai and his comrades in fending off several Middle-Rank Open Heaven Realm cultivators as Yang Kai tries to enter the Shadowless Cave Heaven.

During this encounter, Black Crow, who rapidly promotes to the 6th Rank Open Heaven Realm, is shocked by a particular Myriad Demons Heaven 5th Rank Open Heaven Realm disciple's ability to disregard his Grand Evolution Immortal Blood Light Scripture and escape. Black Crow then gloatingly departs from the battlefield with several Cave Heaven/Paradise Middle Rank Open Heaven hostages, and promises Ti Zheng and the other 3 High Rank Open Heaven engaged in battle with Yang Kai's protector, a Heavenly Moon Demon Spider, that he will one day come to destroy their Sects.

### Blood Crow Divine Monarch

Over the years in Shattered Heaven, Black Crow would adopt a new identity as the infamous Blood Crow Divine Monarch. Initially making a move to attack a Bright King Heaven 6th Rank Open Heaven Realm disciple, named Xu Wang, Blood Crow is pleasantly surprised to find that Yang Kai is actually present, and he immediately begins to report his enmity with the latter. However, Blood Crow is in short time shocked, horrified, and injured by the monstrous strength of Yang Kai, and subsequently makes an escape.

After suffering several more losses in escaping from Yang Kai, Blood Crow eventually hides out in a crowd of Open Heaven Realm cultivators stationed outside a recently discovered Universe Cave Heaven. Later, Blood Crow accidentally gives away his presence to Yang Kai when he is momentarily surprised by the appearance of High Rank Open Heaven looking to enter the Universe Cave Heaven. Though he tries to use numbers as an advantage, Blood Crow is tied down by Yang Kai and Bright King Heaven's Xu Wang, and is eventually captured when Xu Wang's Master Uncle, a 7th Rank Open Heaven Realm Inner Sect Elder of Bright King Heaven, comes and takes him prisoner.

### Dawn Squad

Blood Crow next sees Yang Kai while stationed as a member of Yin-Yang Pass.
