Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast

Biodata

Power Progression

Nature and Characteristics

• Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are exceptionally rare and valuable targets for Soul Masters, as their Soul Rings and Soul Bones are considered precious resources. 16 127
• A normal Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring can provide two Soul Skills because the beast's dispersing soul power draws out more of its Origin Bloodline than weaker Soul Beasts. 188
• Powerful bloodlines and stable Soul Cores improve the chance that a Soul Beast will leave behind a Soul Bone upon death. 188
• Their aura is intensely oppressive; even high-level Soul Masters and other Soul Beasts may avoid direct confrontation. 94 242
• A Soul Master’s simulated Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring can frighten observers, but its color and aura can be fabricated through illusion techniques. 71 72
• A beast that has reached one hundred thousand years is not necessarily a Ferocious Beast; becoming one requires choosing continued cultivation and making a further breakthrough. 175

Re-cultivation into Human Form

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts may abandon their original forms and begin re-cultivating as humans. This path requires extensive preparation and temporarily strips them of the overwhelming strength associated with their original bodies. 126 127 175

• The transformation process differs between species; Snow Empress’s re-cultivation manifested as a mass of white airflow rather than the method recorded by Shrek Academy. 127
• A beast’s original seals and protections can collapse once its power contracts at the beginning of re-cultivation. 127
• Re-cultivated Soul Beasts are of particular research interest because their self-condensed Soul Rings may reveal a path toward Artificial Soul Rings. 127
• Human–Soul Beast unions described in the text involve Soul Beasts that have transformed into humans, not merely begun human re-cultivation. 329
