Featured Featured Character: Tian (Feng Shen Ji)
TIAN
Name: Hei Long aka Tian
Allies: The Gods (as their ruler), The 5 Sage Kings
Enemies: The Dark Ones, Ah Gou, Zi Yu; In general, all who oppose the will of Tian meet with an untimely death
BACKGROUND
Tian's backstory is wrought with tragedy; a peerless warrior, his own kin were terrified of him, and so they conspired against him over 100,000 years ago. Tian singlehandedly ended a 10-day long war against the ancient Dark Ones, and whilst returning from Hell itself his brethren kidnapped his wife and mortally wounded her while laying in ambush for Tian's return. With horrific vengeance, he slew every single one of his brothers, only to ultimately end up losing his wife regardless.
For the next 100,000 years, Tian desperately plotted to regain his beloved. The only way he knew of doing so was through the collecting of a rare mineral, Blood Crystal, refined from raw Bloodstone. To acquire the minerals, he created a new race of gods to rule over the humans for him and to enforce the collections. Over this time period, he collected vast quantities of it to feed his beloved's corpse, slowly recuperating her strength, his patience never once diminishing over 100,000 years.
Tian's motivation beyond his beloved is virtually non-existant; he will eradicate threats with determination and suffer none to cross him, however he does admire strength and courage, and will amuse himself with contenders should they prove powerful.
FEATS
Foreword: Tian's main strength lay in his Divine Power: Monochrome. It drains the area around him of color, signifying the withering of vitality, and saps vitality from everyone and everything in his aura. It repels all offensive abilities directed at him and neutralizes any and all powers, possessing no clear weakness. When the aura of Monochrome is active, all physical abilities are reduced by roughly half their full amount, and most of Tian's feats are influenced by this aura and should be kept in mind as such.
PHYSICAL FEATS
STRENGTH
Fells tens of thousands of warriors with his dragons alone; a bystander comments that he appears as calm as if he were sleeping while doing so
Overwhelms Ah Gou and his Golden Gauntlet, which are capable of producing this devastation
Easily tears apart a being made of Nothingness which earlier had tanked a blow from a hammer capable of cratering a city block
DURABILITY
Is unperturbed by being encased in ice then assaulted with a gigantic spiked club
No sells an enormous fist being launched down on him that shook the entire area
Unaffected by Ah Gou's Dark Gauntlet, his Nothingness' version of his own Golden Gauntlet
SPEED/REFLEXES
Allows a supersonic opponent to get close to him before reacting, and still has no trouble halting the attack
Immediately strikes an opponent right after his first attack is dodged
WEAPON FEATS
Tian wields the powerful Blood Spear, a weapon encased in Divine Power of its own that exhibits many powerful properties
The Blood Spear can create large AoE shockwaves with a single swing (Note: Tian is the tiny figure covered in a light blue aura in the top left of this scan)
Can summon black lightning which is stated to be the pinnacle of lightning-based Divine Power; of note, the Divine Power that summons lightning does actually summon true lightning strikes when used by someone nowhere near Tian's level.
DIVINE POWER: MONOCHROME FEATS
A Monochrome-infused shout nearly shatters every bone in a God's body
Repels flames designed specifically to overwhelm and kill Divine Power and its users
From the opposite side of a mountain Tian's aura is oppressive even to Gods
Overwhelms Ah Gou's Monochrome; of note, Ah Gou himself claims Tian to be vastly superior in Divine Power, meaning Tian's Monochromatic Wall is above Ah Gou's, himself capable of repelling confirmed city-busting attacks and a literally (anthropomorphic) city-level attack
DIVINE SKILL: WHITE WALL
By pushing his Divine Power to its limit, Tian can summon this Wall of Monochrome that condenses the entirety of his power into a small globe of pure white
Overwhelms a Monochrome-shrouded Ah Gou instantly, destroying his Gauntlet in the process
White Wall destroys the senses and tears apart blood vessels and shatters bones with its aura
Ah Gou's being of Nothingness is shattered by White Wall the moment it spawns
Annihilates a point-blank cannon shot before it can even reach Tian

u/Verlux Jan 18 '17
Even if unskilled, you're devastatingly powerful. Ah Gou was shaking apart an entire city beginning of series, literally 3 days after awakening his ability to use it.
But yeah, I'm kinda the one man wrecking crew of shilling this series, so I'm glad I got a slot to show it off

Fuck yeah Tian. The biggest badass in Feng Shen Ji besides Zi Yu, because when your title is "The Greatest Swordsman Under Heaven" you know you've made it. Hopefully we get some dope battles from this.

Interesting character

u/Verlux Jan 25 '17
Quite so. Unique abilities, overpowered in his universe, yet still remains interesting due to his ability to still recognize talent and challenge

Oh man I really like this manga Feng Shin Ji it's actually quite original. (Is it based off a legend or something).
Although I feel as though this series has some very weird power scaling and power level constantly changing going throughout the entire series with how the characters fought and feats.

I want to talk about how much my boi u/Verlux loves Feng Shen Ji. Literally no one but two other users in the Discord had any idea what this series was 6 months ago. Currently only like 4 of us in the shonen chat still haven't read it. He promoted the fuck out of it so much. The dude loves FSJ more than he likes breathing. Although I haven't read it, everyone else in the chat has high appraisals for it, it's highly rated on MAL, and on mangaupdates it's around a 8.5-9/10 on their scoring. I highly recommend others to read it
so Verlux can shut the fuck up and stop spamming/shilling chat for every new person to read itand give it a shot. It's got some great Respect Threads for future threads any of you may want to make.Great job, Verlux.
