Soul Beast

Biodata

Background / History

Soul Beasts are a major non-human power on Douluo Continent. Their hidden high-level members, particularly those within the Star Dou Great Forest and other forbidden regions, are feared by human Soul Masters for their longevity, accumulated combat experience, bloodlines, and cultivation. 20 95

A Million-Year Soul Beast was believed impossible under the God Realm's existence, yet Lu Chen survived a million-year heavenly tribulation and became the Divine Beast Kunpeng after using a Divine Artifact to conceal himself from the God Realm's perception. 1

The Golden Ranking opened the Soul Beast Power Ranking, evaluating the continent's twenty strongest Soul Beasts—including reincarnated Soul Beasts cultivating as humans—by cultivation years, bloodline level, combat potential, and law comprehension. Listed Soul Beasts receive rewards tailored to their origins through the Heavenly Rules. 20

The ranking exposed that the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts were not the absolute peak of the Soul Beast world. Even Demon Spirit, a 280,000-year Ferocious Beast, placed only eighteenth, while the Star Dou Great Forest was revealed to contain multiple previously unknown supreme beings. 22 36

Characteristics

• Soul Beasts can possess cultivation measured in years; powerful individuals may reach or exceed the hundred-thousand-year level. 20
• Their strength is not determined by cultivation alone: bloodline, combat potential, law comprehension, innate talents, and combat experience are also decisive. 20 100
• High-level Soul Beasts may have lifespans spanning countless years, during which their growth involves battles against nature, other Soul Beasts, and human Soul Masters. 95
• Some Soul Beasts can take human form, while retaining their Soul Beast essence for ranking purposes. 1 20
• A Soul Beast may become a Soul Spirit, retaining intelligence and combat power while existing as a human Soul Master's spirit ring. 26 27
• Top bloodlines can allow Soul Beasts to exceed conventional cultivation-based expectations; Lu Youyou's 240,000-year cultivation supported combat power comparable to a Level 98 peak Super Douluo. 100
