"Demonic Emperor"
Appearance
A very handsome innocent looking man with a small stature. Wearing a billowing black cloak, a sword of unmatched edge, yet sheathed for now. But that could not hide the dread and power it instilled in the hearts of all present.
Personality
"In the future, I will RULE this world!!" ~Zhuo Fan declaring his intentions during the esoteric debate.
There is nothing and no one Zhou Fan would not sacrifice and no extreme he would not go to in order to fulfill his goals and achieve his aims. He also knows how quickly others can turn on even their supposed allies, friends, and family for their own greed. His ambitions and low-opinion of human nature make him bold, cunning, vicious and ruthless.
He does not believe in compassion, believing it to be a hindrance in the cruel "kill or be killed" world. His focus on his own desires above all else makes him selfish and callous with his knowledge and experience from his past as a demonic emperor making him somewhat narcissistic, priding himself as the best, although he has the combat prowess as well as the ability to read his opponents to justify his ego.
Due to the extensive knowledge of his previous life, Zhuo Yi-Fan has the acumen for manipulating allies and enemies towards his own interests while feeling little remorse in doing so. Yet while often acting sociopathic in the extreme,
Zhou fan is also pragmatic and has no issues holding hands with those who were previously enemies if it would benefit him to do so. For Zhuo Fan, people are either potential tools/resources to be used, opponents to be disposed of or failing to fall into the former categories, not worth attention at all.
This makes his personality amoral rather than outright villainous as he tends not to cause harm when it's not needed nor go out of his way to create collateral damage. Even when his attack during the alchemy competition ended up killing hundreds and injuring thousands, his first action when gaining the Bohdi Root was to run and conflict only occured when he was forced into a confrontation.
While a cunning schemer and pragmatic thinker, Zhou Fan isn't some cold and reserved thinker. To the contrary, Zhou Fan is very passionate and emotional. Further, in spite of many seeing hims as monster or beast who won't hesitate to swallow those that cross his path, he has many virtues as well.
He is courageous and, if forced, will not retreat out of cowardice while always planning a way to reverse a previous defeat. In fact his courage is what allows for his success because he will enact plans and make moves others would deem insane due to most not even daring to consider them.
This fearlessness also makes him unpredictable and hard to understand with many remarking he must be a lunatic only for them to see the brilliance of his strategy when it has been successful. Zhuo fan is also extremely diligent and hard working with tremendous patience and has no issues biding his time or waiting to make a move at the most opportune time.
His quick thinking and patience also means that he can both take the time to put his pieces in place while also taking advantage of random chance and opportunity when it arises.
His passion also has a strong effect on those around him. While he tends to be somewhat blunt and arrogant, Zhuo Yi-Fan is very charismatic, with even his haters admiring his abilities. While harsh and unforgiving to his enemies, Fang Qui-Bai remarked that he was good to his people. Whether as tools or because he has genuinely become attached to the people under him or allied to him, Zhuo Fan treats them well.
As long as his allies and Clan members follow his plans, he is extremely generous and reliable, eager to make his allies stronger and more knowledgeable. Also, because he can assign them to missions and divide the responsibilities equally. This is partly due to his experience as an emperor and knowing how to be a real leader. Zhuo Fan admonished Huang-Pu Qian-Yun for not knowing how to properly treat people and how one cannot learn to be a ruler from books. As such, Zhuo Fan never abuses or belittles his own people.
While harsh at times, he is also fair, never allowing his ego or pride to damage his personal connections while also rendering due credit to whom it is owed. A lot of women find him attractive due to his 'bad boy' persona as well as his occasional tendency to care for girls, though the only woman he loves and fears is his wife, Chu Qing-Cheng.
Conversely, Zhuo Fan can be vengeful and merciless to those that have incurred his wrath. While having no issues employing the most cruel and diabolical methods to achieve his aims, there is a clear difference between how far he is willing to go when he harms others and those he actively wishes to punish.
When forced to undergo a painful body reconstruction process in order to gain the power he needed to defeat You Gui-Qi and protect his allies Xie Tian-Yang and Xue Ning-Xiang he didn't just defeat You Gui-Qi. Zhuo Fan went out his his way to humiliate Seventh Ghost and show him absolute power while also killing Seventh Ghost's disciples right in front of him. Jian Sui-Feng even said that angering Zhuo Fan is no joke as Zhuo Fan will send you to your grave without even a shred of dignity or honor.
During the Esoteric Debate, he created a cruel game to punish those responsible for Que'er's death and went so far as to have his blood leeches feast on You Yushan over the course of nine days, while all who watched were filled with dread and horror. A phrase many, including the second prince Yu-Wen Cong, would remember stated by Zhuo Fan is, "You can mess with the king of hell but god help you if you mess with me". Zhou Fan's ruthlessness even extends to himself and will go so far as to sacrifice an arm if it means getting his revenge and achieving victory.
later, he become calmer after practicing "True Self Art" (Yuan Xing-Gang's inheritance)

Background
Zhuo Yi-Fan, also known as the Demon Emperor or the Sacred Domain's 8th Emperor. By chance he found the Nine Serenities Secret Scripture, one of the Ten Ancient Sovereigns legacy.
His Disciple Zhao Chen betrayed him and revealed the information to the other 7 Emperors. Being cornered by those 7 Emperors as well as a Saint from the Sacred Domain he destroyed the Nine Serenities Secret Scriptures and self-destructed his soul.
For some reason his soul survived and possessed the body of a servant called Zhuo Fan from the Mortal Domain. Three days before, the Luo Clan, which the servant served, was almost annihilated when the Black-Wind Mountain Bandits massacred the whole manor. Zhuo Fan along with some other guards were escorting the fleeing Luo Yun-Chang and Luo Yun-Hai, only for him to die at the hands of their pursuers.
In his final moments he was filled with a strong obsession, which allowed the drifting Demonic Emperor Zhuo Yi-Fan’s soul to possess him.
Since Zhuo Fan has never cultivated before, his body was perfect for the Nine Serenities Secret Scriptures cultivation technique.
Before being possessed, Zhuo Fan was a devoted servant of Luo Yun-Chang. She was very kind to him, so the original Zhuo Fan pledged a life-long devotion to the Luo Clan.
The resentment before his death was born of the regret of not protecting the Luo Clan thus forming a Heart Demon. It was at this point that Zhuo Yi-Fan’s hatred and Zhuo Fan’s resentment fused, possessing him and breathing life into his body. His resentment became a contract with Zhuo Yi-Fan, turning the Heart Demon into Zhuo Yi-Fan’s shackles, forcing him to protect the Luo Clan or the Heart Demon would haunt him.
Having a new chance in life, Zhuo Yi-Fan, now calling himself Zhuo Fan, set several goals: To surpass his past life's cultivation as well as taking vengeance against the Saint and the Seven Emperors of the Sacred Domain. He also aims to transform the Luo Clan from a third class Clan into the 8th Clan of the Tian-Yu Empire in order to get rid of the Heart Demon.

after Chu Qing-Cheng received a positive response from Zhuo Fan about the wedding. Chu Qingcheng asked him how he made Gu San-Tong his (adopted) son. "It’s just that I’m very surprised. What methods did you use to trick such a powerful man into becoming your son?” “Well… it’s just like tricking a World’s First beautiful woman into a wife!” Zhuo Fan raised his eyebrows, seemingly pointing, and chuckled.
Zhuo Fan - “Miss Lian’er, Zhuo Fan hates two kinds of people the most in my life. One is the overestimate one’s capabilities, and the other is not keeping promises. You have already committed one taboo today. I don’t want you to commit another taboo. Otherwise, I won’t be merciful anymore!” His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhuo Fan’s complexion finally cooled.
Relationship between Xie Tian-Yang and Zhuo Fan: But at this moment, Xie Tianyang looked towards him deeply, murmured, as if there was still a trace of worry: “Zhuo Fan, do you have to be like this every time you show up? My Ning’er she is completely fascinated by you, how am I going to live with it?” His body shook unconsciously, Zhuo Fan’s eyelids moved slightly and he was silent. Although Xie Tianyang’s words were half cracking a joke, how could Zhuo Fan not hear the worries in the words? Maybe if this continues, the relationship between their three people will become more complicated and even break! After thinking about it a little, Zhuo Fan exhaled and chuckled: “Sorry, I am born like this, I don’t act cool, who is acting cool? Take care of yourself!”>>>
One of the guards couldn't help sighing: "Mr., in the past, we only saw the opportunity of planning strategies for Mr. and his decisiveness. Today, we know that Mr. is also a tender man. But in this way, we are also aware of Mr.'s weakness!" Slightly nodded, Zhuo Fan sighed: "Yes, but... she will never be my weakness, because from now on, I will always bring her by my side, to never leave each other. People who want to deal with her , You have to step on my corpse first. I am her shield, and the shield is not broken. No one can use her as a weakness!" Looking at Chu Qing-Cheng deeply, Zhuo Fan's tears were already hazy under the mask. He just said it, but He don't know how much Chu Qingcheng heard, and how much she understood at this time.
Other people about Zhuo Fan:
Long Kui fiercely sniffed: “This kid is too disgusting. It either makes people angry or makes people cry.”
“This is the pride of a man, I finally saw a real man. And this man is still my Husband…” - Xiao Dandan
"Even if the lion is dead, it is still a lion. Even if the king takes off the crown, he will still be the king." - Poison Hand Medicine King
Xie Tian-Yang took a deep breath, sighing on his face: “Goodbye, more than 4000 lives, this kid has more enemies in an instant.”
"Big brother, I said I will get revenge from you in the future. What are you doing now? I’m not ready yet. Give me a 80 years" - Yan Fu
Xiao Dandan - “Anyway, whether he is who, he is the Husband of this miss.”
Shui Ruo-Hua - “He is a demon, Great Demon who can penetrate people’s hearts…”
“Besides, if he is well, how can I be his pawn? I’m afraid that he will throw me away forever, and i can’t even be his pawn! " - Chu Qing-Cheng
Chu Qing-Cheng indifferent expression: “the falling flowers are yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on. He is the ruthless flowing water, rushing endlessly, and is destined to never stop. I just want to be in his life The moment it appeared, I was satisfied…”
Biting her lip tightly, Murong Xue said angrily: “I’m not prejudiced. That kid is not right in his heart, and his ideas are bound to be evil, and he won’t worry about the safety of the world. Just why, Sect Master Ling still Have to ask the demon for help and dance with the devil?”
"We are still here to fight over who is the Number One Person of the young generation in the 4 states, but he has already stepped on all the people in the 4 states and became the Great Marshal the commander of 4 states, a group of Old Senior have to obey him. This… is the gap. He have already gone too far and far beyond us, so far that we don’t know when we can catch up!” - Wu Qingqiu
However, Luo Yun-Chang hated it and couldn’t forgive it. She glared at Tuoba Tieshan fiercely, her eyes full of anger: “Marshal Tuoba, do you know how many tears I have cried for that cruel man over the years?”
Earlier, Zhuo Fan, weary of Xiao Dandan's insistence, warned that he would kill her if she did not stop following him. But when Zhuo Fan once again saved everyone in an incredible way by chasing a huge army of beasts: "Xiao Dandan even beamed with two eyes, looking in the direction of Zhuo Fan, with a face of possessive desire. Although she was startled by Zhuo Fan’s coldness before, but now that Zhuo Fan is so majestic out of the ordinary, she can no longer control herself.It seems that even if she really died in the hands of Zhuo Fan, she was willing to do so. The old lady(Xiao Dandan) would rather be the dead soul of a hero than a good wife next to a poor man! Xiao Dandan two eyes were burning with naked desires, and she looked like she was about to swallow Zhuo Fan."
“Father, I got his head!” Stepping up to Zhuo Fan, sword child presented the head that was still filled with surprise, panic, and doubt to him. Zhuo Fan was slightly nodded and received it in the ring.Then he waved his hand and continued to lead people on the road as if there was nothing wrong with him.
Zhuo fan - "Emperor, the devil has always followed the iron rule of the evil man ’s own evil, the big devil eats the little devil, and the more fierce demon will devour the big devil. If there are demon in the world that five people can surrender, then I should do it. After all, I am , I ’m in charge of the world! " - to Heavenly Sovereign
Dao
Zhuo Yi-Fan teaches people about Demon Dao and Orthodox Dao:
"The desires of the human heart are endless, and there are demons if there is desire. There are very few real Orthodox Dao cultivators in the world. Most people just wear Orthodox Dao skin, but It’s the person who is hard to get rid of the demons in her heart that’s all. She(Murong Xue) wants to stay strong along this road to eliminate demons and protect the dao. She can only endure such loneliness and betrayal. Only when she survives can she reach Orthodox Dao Peak. However, it is too easy to break, so in this Human World, Orthodox Dao cultivator is actually difficult to become enlightened.”
“Either go with the crowd and ruin oneself Grand Dao, not demon, nor righteous, nondescript; or in this muddy world, ruined in the hands of other people. However, Orthodox Dao has a natural shortcut compared to Demon Dao, that is, cultivation, regardless of the world . A clear heart and little desire, feeling heaven and earth righteousness, the easiest way to become. So Demon Dao enter the world becomes the world, Orthodox Dao enter the world and escapes the world. Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demon. Therefore, Demon Dao enter the world. brother Wu, you are also an Orthodox Dao cultivator, and you are not in a low mood. As a friend, I would advise you to go back to the mountains and forests for retreat after 100-state experience in the world. Human World is too mixed and not suitable for truly pure humanism!"
