Background / History

Darkness Breeds were first identified by Star Martial Continent martial artists in the Dark Mist Forest, where an unseen creature dragged away a team member and concealed itself almost completely within the night using black Primal Force light 145. Their appearance was considered serious enough that the surviving witnesses believed the information had to be carried back at any cost 145.

They later operated from No. 56 Garrison Point, using low-level forces to forage while stronger members directed covert operations. A Vampire Darkbreed, a goat-headed humanoid, and a Troll Race member planned a surprise attack on the Star Maple Legion; they had also enslaved a human agent through Darkness Touch 424.

The planned offensive escalated into the assault on Star Maple City. Low-level Darkness Breeds overwhelmed defenses through sheer numbers, while high-level members observed from behind the front lines and waited for their lords to arrive through Space Rifts 454. The humans' Ten Thousand Thunder Nirvana Array inflicted major casualties, demonstrating that lightning and fire-based defenses could be highly effective against certain Darkness Breeds 456.

Wang Teng's incursions revealed that the Darkness Breeds were not merely scattered monsters. They maintain fortified cities, military forces, advanced formations, and a vast inter-world civilization. Black Armor City, for example, is protected by a Saint-level Defense Array, while the Nine Layer Darkness World is connected by Nine Layer Mixed Space Great Arrays 1753 1784 1806.

Physical Characteristics

Darkness Breeds have no universal form. Their appearances range from nearly human to monstrous, and many races possess distinct racial armor, limbs, wings, horns, scales, or non-corporeal bodies.

• Early sightings included shadowy beings capable of blending into darkness almost invisibly 145.
• Troll Race members have dark-green patterned skin, enlarged heads, thick bones, exposed fangs, and brutal dispositions 225.
• Goat-headed humanoids can possess ram horns, bat-like wings, and bone-like scorpion tails 417.
• Magic Armor Race members are encased in full-body Magic Armor, with claws sharp enough to cut metal 1101.
• Some races, including the Demon Brain Race, can inhabit bodies belonging to other races or humans, concealing their true form 1127 1202.
• Demon Transformations may produce grotesque mutations, including additional eyes, mouths, horns, black hair, tentacles, and distorted masses of flesh 491 2674.

Abilities & Traits

Darkness Source Power

Darkness Source Power is the common foundation of Darkness Breed methods. It enables concealment, corruptive effects, racial techniques, and the formation of defenses such as Magic Armor 145 1101.

• Darkness-rich environments can conceal their presence and hinder ordinary detection 145.
• Their power can contaminate Light Universe warriors, especially when combined with poison or spiritual effects 1097 1127.
• Some Darkness Breeds possess additional elemental attributes alongside Darkness Source Power, such as poison, wind, or blood-related power 1097 2173 2653.

Demon Transformation

Demon Transformation is an innate Darkness Breed method that drastically enhances power and often mutates the user's body into a far more monstrous form 1755.

• Transformations are typically used only when a powerful Darkness Breed is forced into desperation 811.
• Demon Lord-level transformations are especially feared by both humans and Darkness Breeds 491 811.
• Transformations can grant immense Darkness Power and abnormal regenerative capability, but may result in loss of rationality 2674.
• Fusion Demon Transformation allows multiple compatible Darkness Breeds to merge into a single stronger entity 2663 2667.

Regeneration and Persistence

Darkness Breeds are difficult to eliminate completely due to their unusual vitality and special revival methods 1097 1913.

• Some can potentially revive so long as remnants of flesh remain 1913.
• Total destruction or refinement of the body can prevent revival 1913.
• Their bodies are generally tougher than those of ordinary Light Universe martial warriors 1913 3158.

Infiltration and Corruption

Several Darkness Breed races can infiltrate enemy society or compromise individuals from within.

• Darkness Touch can force a victim to cooperate with Darkness Breed agents 424.
• Demon Brain Race members can seize control of human or Darkness Breed bodies while preserving the victim's Soul Body 1202.
• Mixed Blood Breeds can enter the Light Universe unnoticed because many retain the appearance of their original race 1331.

Society and Civilization

Darkness Breed society is structured around strength, bloodline, race, and rank. Demon Gods are regarded as objects of reverence, and strength is treated as the ultimate authority 1734.

• High-ranking figures command lower-level troops, with low-level Darkness Breeds often used as expendable frontline cannon fodder 454.
• Different races cooperate when necessary but remain deeply competitive, suspicious, and willing to sacrifice one another for advantage 1851 1972.
• The Blood Race, Bone Spirit Race, Moth Demon Race, Troll Race, Magic Armor Race, and other races maintain separate military forces and Void Fortresses 1957 2621.
• Darkness Breeds possess sophisticated technological and defensive infrastructure comparable to humanity's, including warships, fortified cities, Space Arrays, and Void Fortresses 1753 1806 2621.
• Their expansion is continuous; records describe the Darkness World as expanding constantly and glorify the destruction of other worlds by Darkness races 1754 505.

Mixed Blood Breeds

Mixed Blood Breeds descend from survivors of conquered worlds and Darkness Breeds. They are widely discriminated against and treated as slaves or expendable subjects within the Darkness World 505 1754.

• The Mixed Blood Breed Alliance operates covertly across numerous Darkness Breed cities, seeking freedom and a way out of the Darkness World 1754.
• Darkness Breed authorities periodically purge Alliance branches but generally do not consider Mixed Blood Breeds a serious threat 1754.
• Excessive Darkness Power can corrupt Mixed Blood Breeds, trigger their dark bloodline, and transform them into irrational dark creatures 1782.

Weaknesses

• Light Power can disperse Darkness Power and damage darkness-based domains and manifestations 1969.
• Fire and lightning proved highly effective against the War General-level Darkness Breeds trapped in the Ten Thousand Thunder Nirvana Array 456.
• Complete annihilation is often necessary to prevent regeneration or revival through residual flesh 1913.
• Their racial methods can be studied and countered once reliable intelligence is obtained, although their abilities remain difficult to research because Darkness Power contaminates their bodies after death 2340 3184.

Trivia

• The term “Darkness Breed” encompasses a vast number of races; Hundred Darkness Races revealed that Wang Teng's early encounters represented only a small portion of their diversity 1755.
• Not all Darkness Breeds are mindless. High-level members can speak the Universal Language, command armies, employ strategy, and operate advanced technology 1144 1753.
• Low-level Darkness Breeds may have limited intelligence, but they retain sharp combat instincts and can exploit openings in battle 314.
• The Blood Race is considered unusual even among Darkness Breeds because its Source of Blood appears not to carry the same dark and evil intent as other darkness-based powers 2173.
