Background / History
Boundary Beasts are destruction-aligned lifeforms bred in Qingfeng Realm’s Dim Land, which serves as their World Beast Nest. During their gestation stage, one billion are created; they instinctively slaughter and devour one another, with the final survivor becoming the World Beast King. Their emergence is treated as a Cosmic Sea-scale disaster capable of destroying Small Universes, Holy Land Universes, and the Primordial Universe itself. 655 761
The race considers Cosmic Sea lifeforms inferior food or potential servants. Boundary Beasts forced Hao Lei Star Lord, King Zhen Jia, and Qiu Yan Ancestor God into submission, using them to gather intelligence and lure prey into the Dim Land. 699 761
Lin Yan first infiltrates the Dim Land through the Primordial Emperor City and clashes with the peak First-Order Boundary Beast Yifeng. Although Yifeng’s World Beast Power nearly overwhelms Lin Yan’s divine-power supply, Lin Yan expends the power of nearly ten thousand Green Line Devouring Worm clones to shatter its Black Mist Cocoon. The incident alerts the entire Nest and draws Beidi’s attention. 658
Lin Yan later returns openly, kills multiple First-Order Boundary Beasts, wounds Second-Order Mohe, and escapes after slaying eleven Boundary Beasts in total. The attack becomes a race-wide humiliation and accelerates the Boundary Beasts’ evolutionary struggle. 743 744
After learning that Lin Yan and the Human Race are growing through Jin Zhi World, the Boundary Beasts leave the Nest ahead of schedule. Several million invade the Cosmic Sea, devouring Small Universe origins and attempting to eliminate Lin Yan before he can become a True God. 787 788 790
Their invasion fails to overwhelm Lin Yan. He destroys a force of nearly five thousand outside True Master Shenyan’s Small Universe, uses Green Line Devouring Worm clones to resist a combined attack from more than 3.4 million Boundary Beasts, and deliberately pressures the race into sacrificing itself to create higher-order individuals. 795 800
Appearance
Boundary Beasts are repeatedly described as ugly, ferocious creatures with black or dark bodies, blood-red eyes, and an oppressive destructive aura. Their exact forms vary as they evolve. 658 702 743
- Many are depicted with two heads, each bearing a blood-red single eye. 658 800
- Their bodies possess extremely resilient skin and can withstand severe deformation before rupturing. 743
- Their internal World is concealed within the body and protects the soul from foreign power. 794 797
- Advanced individuals can split their bodies into multiple streams of light to escape. 743
Abilities & Traits
World Beast Power
Boundary Beasts wield World Beast Power, an aggressive destruction-aligned power fundamentally opposed to the divine power of Cosmic Sea lifeforms.
- It mutually consumes divine power on contact. 658 779
- It can form a Black Mist Cocoon around targets, suppressing and devouring their divine power. 658
- A Boundary Beast’s power is difficult for ordinary Cosmic Sea experts to resist; even a Universe’s Strongest normally requires soul-defense and armor-type Ultimate Supreme Treasures to fight one. 761
- Lin Yan later gains a Destruction-origin power similar in source to World Beast Power, enabling him to enslave Boundary Beasts. 803
Soul Attacks and Enslavement
Boundary Beasts are innately proficient in soul-based methods.
- Their silent roars can directly strike a target’s soul. 658
- Large numbers can combine Soul Attacks against a single enemy. 788 798
- Their enslavement differs from ordinary soul enslavement: they transform a portion of World Beast Power and turn victims into vassals. 788
- Their methods can enslave even soul-less Skeleton Clan beings, demonstrating that their control is not dependent on conventional soul manipulation. 788
Shared Senses and Communication
Every Boundary Beast can sense the location of other Boundary Beasts and communicate across immense distances.
- The race rapidly shares sightings, casualties, and battle intelligence. 656 744
- This coordination lets them form precise encirclements and mass attacks. 658
- Their shared perception makes stealthy movement through the Dim Land exceptionally difficult. 658
Survival Methods
Boundary Beasts possess several methods to preserve themselves despite their destructive nature.
- Body-Splitting Escape Method — A damaged beast can divide into separate streams of light and flee in different directions. 743 744
- World Light Passage — By burning the space-time energy of the “boundary” within its body, a Boundary Beast can form a passage through sealed space-time; doing so damages its foundation and lowers its order. 793 795
- Their internal World protects the soul and causes conventional enslavement techniques to collapse before reaching it. 794 797
Order-Based Techniques
Each evolutionary stage grants more powerful methods.
- Second Order: Blood Burning Method — Burns blood into blood light for a major increase in strength. 743 795
- Fourth Order: Boundary Light Domain Method — Expands a domain that enhances the Boundary Beast while suppressing and binding opponents. 793
- Fifth Order: Destruction Method — A killing move containing the Destruction Origin; even ordinary attacks gain destructive mysteries. 793 800
Fate Iron Rule
The Boundary Beast race is governed by a supreme fate principle that compels its final selection.
- The race must eventually determine a single final king through mutual battle and devouring. 744 794
- Boundary Beasts that refuse to participate in the final struggle perish. 794
- Once a Sixth-Order Boundary Beast exists, any additional Sixth-Order Boundary Beast is compelled to fight it to the death. 815
- Enslaving a Boundary Beast prevents the direct birth of a World Beast King, allowing outside interference in the final struggle. 794
World Beast King
The final Boundary Beast enters the growth stage as a World Beast King.
- It is born at a level equivalent to a Void True God and controls the complete Destruction Origin. 829
- It has no lifespan limit and is not forced into reincarnation. 829
- Its body contains a dark internal world capable of breeding specialized warriors for speed, defense, assault, siege-breaking, and self-destruction. 655 829
- A mature king can devour the origin of the Primordial Universe, causing the universe to collapse into destruction. 829
- World Beast King Liao, trapped by Yin Yue Emperor and later released, reaches a realm comparable to a Chaos Master. 828 832
Relationships
- Lin Yan / Origin Master — Primary enemy of the Boundary Beast race. His incursions into the Dim Land, slaughter of Boundary Beasts, and later enslavement of millions force the race to accelerate its evolution. 743 744 809
- Mohe — Second-Order Boundary Beast wounded by Lin Yan; later becomes a peak Fourth-Order leader advocating the early invasion of the Cosmic Sea. 743 788
- Beidi — One of the strongest Boundary Beasts and an early candidate for the final king; later offered by Lin Yan as one of Luo Feng’s potential enslaved companions. 744 800 837
- Yifeng — Peak First-Order Boundary Beast whose clash with Lin Yan reveals the danger of World Beast Power and alerts the Nest. 658
- Olei — Boundary Beast that evolves through mutual slaughter and becomes one of the first targets of Lin Yan’s successful Boundary Beast enslavement. 801 803
- Molosa — Tier 3 Boundary Beast enslaved by Luo Feng; later evolves into a World Beast King while remaining bound by the Supreme Rule. 830 837 840
- Liao — A separate World Beast King trapped by Yin Yue Emperor in the Heavenly Tomb, then released into Lin Yan’s Cosmic Sea as a weapon against him. 828 829 832
- Yin Yue Emperor — Imprisons and bargains with Liao, intending to use the king to destroy Lin Yan and the Cosmic Sea. 828 829 832
Story Role / Major Arcs
Dim Land Incursions
Lin Yan’s early explorations establish the Dim Land as the Boundary Beast Nest. His battle with Yifeng reveals their Soul Attacks, World Beast Power, mutual sensing, and ability to summon nearby allies. 655 658
First Slaughter and Retaliation
Lin Yan’s return to the Nest kills eleven Boundary Beasts and wounds Mohe. The race treats this not merely as a loss of numbers, but as an unforgivable insult demanding Lin Yan’s death. 743 744
World Beast Cataclysm
Fearing Lin Yan’s advancement and the Human Race’s growth, several million Boundary Beasts emerge early from the Dim Land. They attack Small Universes, devour origins, and seek to annihilate Lin Yan with combined Soul Attacks and mass assaults. 788 790 794
Forced Evolution
Unable to defeat Lin Yan’s clone army, 210,000 Boundary Beasts willingly slaughter one another to create Fifth-Order individuals capable of wielding the Destruction Method. Lin Yan had deliberately engineered this response to study the Destruction Origin. 800 801
Enslavement and Collapse of the Calamity
After gaining Destruction-origin power, Lin Yan successfully penetrates a Boundary Beast’s internal World and begins enslaving the race. He traps millions, forces their internal evolution, and reduces the remaining Boundary Beasts’ ability to produce a final king. 803 809 815
World Beast Kings Beyond the Initial Calamity
The threat persists through kings such as Molosa and Liao. Molosa becomes Luo Feng’s loyal World Beast King, while Liao is exploited by Yin Yue Emperor and devastates Small Universes in another Cosmic Sea. 840 851 852
