Transcendent

Biodata

Power Progression

Nature

Transcendents cultivate and manipulate Spirit Energy through their Spirit Meridian System, using it to form Life Magnetic Fields, strengthen their bodies, and perform supernatural techniques. Spirit Runes can employ the meridians as a three-dimensional circuit, producing abilities and Sure Kill Skills. 100 374

The classification encompasses more than direct combat power. Its members may develop extraordinary physical abilities, sharpened senses, mental capabilities, technical control systems, or specialized professions such as Beast Taming and Heroic Spirit use. 26 76

Capabilities & Skills

Spirit Meridian Cultivation

Spirit Energy enters the body through the pores and circulates through the Spirit Meridians, blood vessels, nerves, and organs. Opening and repairing Main Meridians expands a Transcendent's capacity to construct stronger Spirit Magnetic Fields. 100 183

• Body enhancement — increases strength, speed, endurance, healing, and cellular activity.
• Spirit Veins — visible manifestations that can form intricate patterns across the body and support new Spirit Magnetic Fields. 183
• Spirit Energy Armor — Six-Star Spirit Armor Realm experts can manifest visible armor around themselves and extend protection to nearby allies. 484 801 1365

Life Magnetic Field

A Transcendent's Life Magnetic Field is the foundation of many higher-level abilities. It can resonate with weapons, other people, the Planetary Magnetic Field, and ambient Spirit Energy. 669 795 802

• Weapon resonance — a Heaven Realm expert can form a “blood connection” with a Spirit Energy-infused main weapon, treating it as an extension of the body. 795
• Telekinesis — allows limited interference with moving objects at lower Heaven Realm levels; Meng Chao's unusually strong version can retrieve his blade from nearly one hundred meters away. 741
• Magnetic Levitation — permits a Heaven Realm expert to resist gravity and rise into the air. 672 741
• Domain — a God Realm expert expands the Life Magnetic Field over a wide area, granting coordinated enhancements to allies. 801 802

Extraordinary Perception

Heaven Realm advancement can dramatically improve sensory processing. A Transcendent may use sound-wave feedback to detect the shape, temperature, breathing, heartbeat, muscle movement, danger level, and combat power of targets dozens of meters away. 425

Professional Paths

Limitations and Risks

• Fallen Star Superhuman condition — an abrupt, unprepared influx of Spirit Energy can wither Main Meridians. Meng Chao became a Fallen Star Superhuman after his breakthrough, restricting his future cultivation options. 92 94
• Physical and mental instability — the Superhuman Tower preserves specimens of Transcendents who went mad, suffered deformation, or were killed after losing control of their power. 99
• Qi Deviation and overload — intense Spirit Energy stimulation can cause berserk states, Qi Deviation, or death; even powerful experts are not immune to the danger. 259
• Power disparity — Spirit Energy creates extreme inequality: the gap in power, wealth, and influence between God Realm experts and ordinary people can be vast. 607 760
• Moral alienation — pursuit of inhuman power risks making a Transcendent increasingly detached from ordinary humanity and its laws. 99 802

Institutions and Society

New Transcendents register through the Superhuman Tower, a major Ancient Ruins Research Institute that supports Dragon City's Superhuman technology, research, cultivation, and commerce. 99

• The Tower contains cultivation chambers, recovery rooms, simulated combat rooms, armories, alchemy centers, weapon-modification facilities, and material-trading services. 100
• Superhuman Coins are used to purchase resources, hire teams, obtain cultivation methods, and access specialist services. 99 817
• Transcendents occupy influential positions in the Crimson Dragon Army, corporations, research institutions, and cultivation organizations, but their privileges and wealth have also fueled resentment among citizens of humble origins. 1519 1640

Relationship with Conventional Armament

Powered Armor can narrow the gap between ordinary soldiers and low-level Transcendents, but it does not fully replace cultivation. 484 678

• Type 56 Heavy Powered Armor can increase an ordinary user's fist strength and sprint speed by more than 500%, enabling melee performance comparable to a Superhuman. 678
• Reinforced Exoskeletons and Powered Armor are most valuable to lower-level Transcendents; veteran experts often prefer their own strength because mechanical components cannot match their speed, force, or movement complexity. 484
• At the Six-Star Spirit Armor Realm and above, externally manifested Spirit Energy Armor further reduces the need for conventional Powered Armor. 484 1365
