Xuanye, the sister of Yi Jing.
Xuanye[]
Xuanye (玄燁) is the 10th Emperor of the Red Lane and a minor antagonist of Satoshi during his time there. He is also the granddaughter of the Final Emperor of the Red Lane, Wu of Zetian and the brother of Yi Jing. After dying to Satoshi's hands, he is eventually revived during the Green Lane to help fight against the Family Head and Pangobo Takayushi and kill the Bakunawa. Despite failing at the second task, he does eventually succeed in helping take down the Family Head, only for the man to shoot himself; and for Pangobo to die by Satoshi's hand. He is then possessed by the Devil during the War to fight against Satoshi, ultimately accepting the latter's superiority to himself and being returned to the land of the Dead.

Name: Xuanye (玄燁)
Origin: Monogattari no Jūnen (物語の十年)

Powers and Abilities:
Weapon Mastery, Conceptual Manipulation (Controlling the idea of sunlight and moonlight)
Conceptual Manipulation (Controlling the idea of sunlight), Light Manipulation, Status Effect Inducement, Statistics Amplification, possible Healing, Regeneration (Anywhere from Mid-High Regeneration), Power Nullification (Same degree as Lunar Form) and Fire Manipulation (Via Solar Form - Huǒyànshān Sānmèi-zhēnhuǒ (Flaming Mountains of the True fire of Samadhi))
Energy Projection, Darkness Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation, Power Nullification, Power Absorption, Conceptual Manipulation (Lunar Form can be used to nullify powers on the conceptual level) and Matter Manipulation (Lunar Form can cut down things on the subatomic levels), Statistics Amplification and Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Xuanye can use Lunar Form to amplify his speed, strength, etc)
Probability Manipulation, Power Absorption, Statistics Reduction (Neutral Form can be used to reduce an enemy's power), Power Nullification, Conceptual Manipulation (Neutral Form can be used to nullify powers on the conceptual level via Neutral Jing or generally using Neutral Form), enhanced Power Bestowal, Omnipresence and Omniscience (According to Unkulunkulu: "So his Neutral Form allows him to become one with existence itself as his mind and consciousness reach to their state of maximisation") as well as Healing, resistance to Attack Reflection, Blood Manipulation and Fear Manipulation (Xuanye can use Neutral Form to stop himself being controlled by fear and he can stop blood flow if he gets attacked; the Neutral Form can also be used to withstand attacks reflected back at the opponent)
Non-Duality (Type 3), Acausality (Type 5), Omniscience, Cosmic Awareness and resistance to Telepathy, Mind Manipulation and Empathic Manipulation (Via Cosmic Form where he is one with Yin-Yang, Wuji and Taiji. Xuanye describes it as being "in flow with the yin and yang of the universe itself". Furthermore, he upscales from Satoshi who can both damage and perceive the Atman and Paramatman which are both beyond duality, non-duality, subject and object, meaning that anything bound by the concept of duality or identification including space, time, mathematics, people, power, durability, stamina, attack potency and any other capability bound by mathematics is lower than Xuanye within his Cosmic Form. Furthermore, the axis of dao (Daoshu) is where “this” and “that” no longer find their opposites as the creative principle or ground of being is characterless or undifferentiated thus also being non-dual as Zhu also calls this the principle of Heaven (tianli) however Wuji also contains the potential for change and differentiation (thus being dual and also beyond time and space) as it is dimensionless yet constitutes the point for change and differentiation. This makes it so that Xuanye can damage a person's soul, identity, name, concept and very nature by striking their body, nullifying all of their capabilities with singular hits since Atman itself is beyond Wuji and Taiji, however the non-dualistic based attacks only apply if the opponent is weaker than him or if the opponent is significantly stronger. To reiterate, unlike Emperor Wu of Han, this is ONLY done by using his Cosmic Form at its full power or if the opponent is significantly weaker/stronger whilst Xuanye is within the Cosmic Form.)
Same abilities as before plus:
- Immortality (Type 5/7; He is incapable of dying with death no longer applying to him post-resurrection; Type 9 via Moksha and also being Juéxiān (絕(行)仙; Juéxíng xiān, "absolute immortals") also as a result of resurrection)) and Higher-Dimensional Existence/Beyond-Dimensional Existence/Dimensional Travel/Dimensional Manipulation (Upscaled from Satoshi via Moksha where he is beyond life, death and rebirth and as such death is an inconvenience to him)

Cheng Ying with the Way of the Cosmos
Equipment: Cheng Ying - “Dawn envelops the pine forests on the outskirts of the State of Wei. There, a pair of hands holds a sword hilt, and raises it in celebration of the transition from night to day. However, the blade is nowhere to be found. The only clue to its existence is a shadow on the opposite wall. As the sword is swung in an arc, a gentle whisper is heard. The trees shivered, its leaves rustling as though in a soft breeze, though there was no wind. Then, there was silence. Suddenly, the pine trees topple to the ground, cut cleanly at the roots. Indeed, Cheng Ying is an elegant sword that shrouded in mystery.”
Standard Tactics: He will open with the Lunar Form to fire slashes at the opponent, and attack with the Solar Form if he has to. Against higher-level opponents, he will use the Cosmic Form.
Weaknesses: He can be manipulated. Without his sword, he is not entirely useful in hand-to-hand.
Notable Attacks[]
Cheng Ying: Celestial Wave
“Cheng Ying: Lunar Form - Celestial Wave.” The Emperor said as Satoshi saw a black and white slash befall him
Lunar Eclipse - Death of the Starry Night
“Cheng Ying: Lunar Eclipse - Death of the Starry Night!” Xuanye said upon being attacked, every part of Satoshi’s body began to bleed
Lunar Form - Ringtail of the Emerald Gaze.
“Cheng Ying: Solar Eclipse - Light Brigade!” Xuanye said, causing the blade to briefly glow with golden energy as light slashes that resembled the sun came from his blade as night and day simultaneously came from his blade.
“Cheng Ying: Lunar Form - Ringtail of the Emerald Gaze.” Xuanye said as Satoshi himself murdered scores of soldiers and gang members alike as dark slashes devoured several Dalaketnon as Pangobo was visibly getting slightly more annoyed.
Cheng Ying: Lunar Form - Night's Shining of Life and Death
“Cheng Ying: Lunar Form - Night’s Shining of Life and Death.” Xuanye said, summoning both night and day from his sword as the Dalaketnon felt severe damage to its numerous copies.
“Zhan Lu Jian + Cheng Ying: Solar Form - Four Animals of Benevolence!” Xuanye and Taizong said, forcing solar energy to surround their swords and try and damage the Bakunawa’s underside… only for a slight amount of damage to appear in the form of a cut. “So his weakness has something to do with the Sun!” The two emperors both thought to themselves, immediately continuing to use solar energy within their swords to attack the great dragon only for the Bakunawa to glare at them, with its horn glowing a mystical yellow hue as everyone including Wu herself noticed this, whilst also observing the true size of the Bakunawa.
“My blade… the Cheng Ying… its glowing with cosmic force!” Xuanye thought to himself as Wu was amazed, realising the Zhan Lu Jian was likely undergoing the same transformation with the three swordsmen working together only for the Man to stop her. “We must fragment the Moons by maximising and surpassing its Gravitational Binding Energy, overpowering it. Use your swords for range.” The Man thought to himself as the Akarian towers began to mimic the sounds of pots and pans to damage the Bakunawa only for more cosmic radiation to fire at the Akarian towers from a range from its revenge-ridden mouth with Satoshi being the only one aside from Emperor Wu to get in range of the Bakunawa’s horn. “I have it!” Satoshi thought to himself only to be eaten as Sakura looked shocked, if not horrified. “SATOSHI!” She thought to herself with horror as Damien watched from the dorm, observing all of this as she flew forth, attempting to destroy the Moons as the Emperors all worked together, doing the best with the Jade Emperor looking amazed. “Cheng Ying: Cosmic Art - Solar Eclipse of the Runaway Nebulae!” Xuanye said, firing golden slashes of solar energy from his blade which appeared on the Bakunawa, still not doing any damage. “I am in flow with the yin and yang of the universe itself!”
“Cheng Ying - Solar Form + Zhan Lu Jian: Solar Eclipse - Light of the Dwarf Star’s Chaos Arm!” Xuanye and Taizong both thought, simultaneously summoning white and golden slashes as Satoshi sensed this.
"Considering this is a celestial body… using neither solar or lunar energy will be useful. Fènghuáng Xiang (Art of the Phoenix) - Cheng Ying: Neutral Form - Lonely Beginning of the Huangdi: Eclipse!” She thought to herself, immediately stabbing the blade into the Moon, slicing the entire Moon in two, cleaving it in equal halves only to then have her original dual blades thrown into her hands as her grandson was amazed. “We are nearly ending this day… so let us train in the sword of the Cheng Ying… manifesting its truest strength…. The domain of night and day." Wu explained.
“Cheng Ying: Neutral Form: Evening Draw.” Xuanye said with Satoshi immediately trying to use Solar Form to nullify it, only for Satoshi to feel himself unmoving as his blade felt itself conceptually shattering. “What was that?” Satoshi asked as Xuanye then returned to his original position. “I used my neutral technique to remove the bearing you had upon first drawing the blade, thus shattering your chances of doing anything meaningful… death came upon you by way of the evening but I sheathed my blade at the last moment, restoring your body and mind by way of Solar Form, for I am one with the yin-yang of the universe much like how Taizong controls all Eight Sacred Animals such as the Taotie… you need more work-! But you cannot be angry and maintain flow in Wuji and Taiji… attaining Mushin as what Satoshi would call it. A state of flowness.” Wu said, interjecting her grandson’s speech as her granddaughter, Yi Jing was surprised at Satoshi’s growth.
“Cheng Ying: Lunar Form-!” Satoshi tried to say only for the man to casually dodge this attack. “A blade of the Moon… and Sun. That blade is of historical significance. You are indeed someone potent.” The man said.
Cheng Ying: Cosmic Art - Solar Eclipse of the Runaway Nebulae to try and annihilate every facet of the made universe
Cheng Ying - Lunar Form: Seven Branched Sword.
Enso.
“Cheng Ying - Lunar Form: Shichishitō (Seven Branched Sword).” Satoshi said, transforming his blade into seven branches whilst maintaining the original Cheng Ying form to which Unkulunkulu looked horrified as one slash of the blade broke his hoe, forcing him to bleed heavily and having become ill, M'Bombo vomited: out the sun, the moon, the stars, various animals and Tsetse the lightning as well as summoning Papa Legba. “Uhlanga!” He then said, wiping the blood of his mouth off and firing a huge amount of reeds at Satoshi’s clones who could do nothing but phase underground to avoid their gaze. “Ḿmúọ́ + èké east, órìè west, àfọ̀ north, ǹkwọ́ south + The Cosmos itself is divided into "four constituent complexes" known as Okike, Alusi, Mmuo, and Uwa. Okike is the event of "Creation", the Alusi are the lesser deities, Mmụọ are the spirits of the Ancestors and all other beings, and Uwa is the World.” The man said as he saw the Cheng Ying glowing with a mysterious light that resembled fire. “He’s using fire that would end everything I created here?” Unkulunkulu thought to himself in visible horror as the sun that Satoshi cut in half seemingly absorbed itself into his sword. “The Lunar Form can do damage to him!" Satoshi thought to himself as Nzame immediately tried to attack him, only to be frozen in many, many mirrors.
Neutral Form of the Cheng Ying
“Cheng Ying - Domain of Shadow and Light.” Satoshi said, using his last resort as all six clones did the same move, knowing that if they failed this, they would die. “He’s using his feet as an area of immediate effect in an attempt to overpower my control of the Tower. If I use my lordship over the Earth… he dies.” Unkulunkulu thought to himself as he did exactly that; only for Satoshi to realise what Wu said when she referenced Mushin. “I feel as though… time is slowing. I see everything. Flow state… Mushin. This isn’t my Future sight.” Satoshi thought to himself as silver energy endowed himself within his blade.
“Neutral Form - Iaijutsu: Slash of Life and Death.” Satoshi thought to himself as Nzame felt himself finally dying despite being able to have immeasurable speeds as all of his wounds manifested, finally killing him as Unkulunkulu looked amazed. “So his Neutral Form allows him to become one with existence itself as his mind and consciousness reach to their state of maximisation." Nzame thought to himself.
Cheng Ying: Neutral Form - Midnight Drawing
Tuluqaaq, the controller of light to manifest himself as the Inuit chief bore his hook and almost sliced Satoshi’s hands off to which Satoshi countered by using the Neutral Form of the Cheng Ying, stopping the blood flow only for the Ahkiyyini, a skeleton spirit to appear and fight Satoshi, however he was quickly cut down.
“Cheng Ying - Lunar Form: Midnight Drawing.” Satoshi thought to himself, immediately using the form to dissect all of the arrows on the sub-atomic levels with Batic then holding a flag with his name on it. “You will now lose, boy.” Batic said with clear and absolute confidence in his words only for Satoshi to blitz him, controlling the Lunar Form slowly and to such a degree now where the raindrops that once devoured the ground became drier than a desert.
“Cheng Ying: Solar Form - Breath of Solar Flare!” Satoshi thought to himself, allowing golden energy to devour the sword’s blade in the very idea of sunlight, also combining this with Neutral Form, intending to lower the power of the Veles and simultaneously end it in one hit.
“Cheng Ying: Solar Form - Neutral Jing.” Satoshi thought to himself as he immediately forced his sword to devour itself in solar energy with the Chief hardly looking surprised. “You are not bad.” The Chief said, using his club to counter the sword once again
Cheng Ying: Solar Form.
Solar Form - Breath of Solar Flare
Cheng Ying: Solar Form - Neutral Jing
Satoshi used Cheng Ying: Lunar Form to increase his speed only for the man in white to casually counter by using the Luisõ to bind the White Spirit in shadow and darkness, that spread around his jacket. “Come…” Satoshi said to himself, redistributing his own into his hand and firing it straight at the man in white who was shocked enough to allow the Teju Jagua to take the attack for him, biting it and turning the galaxy-sized chakram into dust. “The ones left are Albania, England, Australia, Persia and Syria alongside Italy and Greece as well as Arabia.” Satoshi thought to himself, reminding himself of what was at stake only to see the Teju Jagua teleport in front of him somehow and burn him alive however the dog was then attacked by mysterious slashes, using its remaining eyes to burn Satoshi, fully willingly to tank the beams now, deflecting the beams back at the dog; only for the man in white to then summon 25 planets by way of Nhanderuvuçu, then using the power to create 25 more universes in the form of trees, throwing them immediately at Satoshi, only for him to then continue to use the State of Brahman’s power to destroy the trees and then combining this with the Cheng Ying to destroy the planets through the power of Neutral Form. “Sit.” The man said, forcing Satoshi’s knee to briefly convulse where he then countered by teleporting behind the man and slashing him with Neutral Form, doing what appeared to be immense damage to the man in white, taking his hood off… only for the man to then use more of Arasy’s power, creating several celestial bodies out of nowhere; however they were then warped into the Void of Mirrors, casually teleporting the void in front of the Man. “You aren’t bad… nullifying oceans and destroying worlds and universes.” The man continued to say, although he still never realised that his stomach was ripped open by an invisible slash that was invisible to even that of the World of Darkness barring Ruha. “That slash he used slashed the world… existence, space, time and all matter… even one of the innumerable worlds of the World of Darkness was slashed out of existence. Its target was the Man in White… warping space with ease and it is invisible to all but Ashoka and those who trained Satoshi. It will cut him… in time.” Ruha thought to herself to everyone’s surprise with the Man then immediately using the elements to defend himself although upon doing the next attack… he never realised that he would mysteriously be bisected in half and finally sealed into Satoshi’s very being.
“Cheng Ying: Solar Form-!” Satoshi was about to say, only for the sword to be sliced in two in mere moments as Ferdinand immediately yielded after. Satoshi couldn’t move. No muscle twitched. It was as though his muscle memory stopped. Like time froze for him and him alone. “You are a strong swordsman, Satoshi. I yielded out of respect… now go and face the final frontier. Be the King that rises from the torn ashes.” Ferdinand said as he walked over, picked up and gave Satoshi the already-shattered blade, returning it to its owner’s hands. “Goodbye. You truly have surpassed Yi Jing and myself, in all but power perhaps… but in everything else, ye are our true successors. Yi Jing is proud of you, O Black Crow.” Ferdinand said, his true self now revealing itself in the form of the High Prince of Spain as Damien was horrified hearing these words; Satoshi now walked the halls ready to face Mr Harimatsu with the Doppelganger of Sakura (that was also real) appearing to face Mr Okachi.
Cheng Ying: Solar Eclipse - Light Brigade
“9 seconds left.” Satoshi thought to himself, reminding himself of Damian only 2 years prior in the Purple Lane, to which Damian slashed Satoshi with his sword, damaging Clarent ever so slightly as Damian then fired a second slash which could now damage several planets. Satoshi then immediately regenerated his hand and used the Shadow Sword to then activate Scar of Shadow at full power to utterly annihilate the 2nd beam as Damien casually used a 3rd slash which could now destroy many, many stars to which Satoshi then combined the Shadow Sword with the Cheng Ying’s Lunar Form, shutting the third beam down conceptually as he used his hand to absorb what was left from the beam. Upon seeing this, Damian continued to use the sword, summoning a 4th slash which could casually annihilate many billions of solar systems as the Shadow Sword itself was forced to cut this down on its own, releasing a surge of purple energy to nullify the fourth beam. “5 seconds left.” Satoshi thought to himself as he used Scar of Shadow once more to cut down Excalibur however Damien was utterly invincible and invulnerable. “I can now end time and destroy this universe!” Damian said arrogantly however Satoshi was quiet, as he then fired the 5th beam at Satoshi which would now be able to end 400 billion galaxies as they both sensed the entire universe shutting off for a few moments but thanks to the conceptual power of the State of Brahman, the universe remade itself as though guided by a supremely divine force to which Damian knew his time was running out, only for Satoshi to then use a State of Brahman amplified-Scar of Shadow on Excalibur, intending to destroy just the sword, however, once again, Damien was unaffected.
Cheng Ying: Lunar Form - Ringtail of the Emerald Gaze - Night’s Shining of Life and Death
“Killing them quickly will do.” Satoshi thought to himself as Xuanye and Yi Jing blitzed him only for Satoshi to grab the brother and sister duo’s shoulders as Xuanye said: “Cheng Ying: Lunar Form - Ringtail of the Emerald Gaze - Night’s Shining of Life and Death” to which dark slashes, night and day manifested from his green blade.
Cheng Ying: Neutral Form - Lonely Beginning of the Huangdi: Eclipse
“Considering this is a celestial body… using neither solar or lunar energy will be useful. Fènghuáng Xiang (Art of the Phoenix) - Cheng Ying: Neutral Form - Lonely Beginning of the Huangdi: Eclipse!” She thought to herself, immediately stabbing the blade into Satoshi’s body which did no damage. “Nidar Ba Ku Heli ("Nidar will find and punish the ones who are naughty").” Satoshi said, now beginning to feel himself suffering from bad luck as the State of Brahman made its powers known, nullifying this bad luck and transferring it into fortune. “Cheng Ying - Lunar Form: Shichishitō (Seven Branched Sword).” Satoshi said, transforming his blade into seven branches whilst maintaining the original Cheng Ying form. “Cheng Ying - Lunar Form: Midnight Drawing.” Satoshi thought to himself, immediately using the form to dissect most of the Emperors without much effort, including Xuanye and Yi Jing as Satoshi’s face looked sad. The only Emperors that remained were the Jade Emperor (First Emperor), Wu (2nd emperor) and Wu Zetian herself (the final emperor).
