Background Information
A manhua with 3 seasons created by Zheng Jian He and the artists Cheng Kin Wo and Tang Chi Fai.
The Great Shang dynasty has been in power for many years but the Gods find fault with the new emperor. Instead of submitting to their will at the expense of his people, the Emperor resolves to throw off the Gods' yoke and free humanity. However, not only the Gods but a rival, the young Zhou who submits to the Gods' will for his own purposes will face him!
The fate of the dynasty, nay, the fate of all humanity will be determined by this great battle between the forces of Heaven and Earth!
How the story starts. Zhou dies and he fails to save his kingdom. Oh, spoiler alert and all that. The story focuses on his son Wu Geng, who also dies. Now before you go thinking this is some sort of tragic and short affair there's more to it than that. His mother, who also happens to be a god, kills herself and him. This is to protect Wu Geng from the forces of the gods, so they don't capture and torture him. Using her transcendent vigor, a sort of power gods get when they die, she helps the spirit of her son find a new body. It's then that Wu Geng just happens to find the fresh corpse of Ah Gou. Ah Gou was a slave that Wu Geng had a bad encounter long time ago and fate played him a twisted game.
Wu Geng possesses Ah Gou's body as a last resort. It's from there that the real story starts and Wu Geng begins his journey to topple the tyrannical empire of the gods.
Simply put, it's an awesome series reminiscent of other classic manhua like Storm Riders.
Standing in the Battledome
The series is decently powerful.
It has an afterlife, known as the underworld/hell which is occupied by the Dark Ones, and there are people who can cheat death, like Shi Xing who is immortal thanks to the Mark of Death and can move in between the underworld and the human world.
Characters range from building to at least town level+ with the more powerful gods like Tian Wu being able to create earthquakes, tsunamis, and the like (it's strictly environmental destruction though). There are some hax as well such as bfr, soul ripping, attack reflection, intangibility like ability, attacks that can decay a target, etc.
The high and top tiers have at least hypersonic+ movement and massively hypersonic attack speed/reactions (some characters like Shi Xing and Xuan Feng can move at this speed as well). Confirmed in later chapters.
In the final battles of season 3, there are some feats that put the verse in the city/island level range but they need to be examined more properly.
As a verse, they're above the likes of D.Gray-Man, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, and Hunter x Hunter, but more on par with Fist of the North Star and Houshin Engi (not counting their god tiers)
