Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Sector Beast (界兽) |
| Species/Race | Lifeforms nurtured under the Supreme Rules with the Destruction Origin at their core 457. |
| Affiliation | Free Sector Beasts inhabit the Sector Beast Nest; the enslaved Sector Beast Dis serves Luo Feng 433 444. |
| Occupation/Role | Destructive counterpart to the Primal Universe; an existential threat to the Universe Ocean 401 457. |
| Habitat | Land of Darkness within Qingfeng World 402 442. |
| Status | All free Sector Beasts are eliminated. Dis survives as Luo Feng’s enslaved Sector Beast King, ending the calamity 457 458 460. |
| First Appearance | Formally introduced by the three Ancestral Gods 401. |
Power Progression
Sector Beasts advance by devouring one another. Their six orders increase their strength without requiring them to undergo Reincarnation; the final survivor becomes the Sector Beast King 444 445.
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First order | 444 | Birth stage. Possesses basic abilities, including splitting its body to escape and devouring Miniature Universe origins. |
| Second order | 444 | Unlocks the Blood Burning Method. Dis is second-order when interrogated; it has devoured thirty-one second-order beasts and needs one more to reach third order. |
| Third order | 444 445 | Unlocks the Sector Light Channel, an escape ability. Producing one third-order beast requires thirty-three second-order beasts in total 451. |
| Fourth order | 445 446 | Unlocks the Sector Light Domain. Bedi reaches this order first; Mohe, Morosa, and Qiya follow through intensified cannibalism. |
| Fifth order | 445 457 | Unlocks the Destruction Origin. You becomes the last free Sector Beast after surviving the struggle among the final three fifth-order beasts. |
| Sixth order | 445 457 | Unlocks Ten Thousand Avatars and can repeatedly use destruction through its internal Sector. After You dies, Dis rises directly from second order to sixth order by absorbing the dead beasts’ energy. |
| Sector Beast King | 457 458 | Dis becomes the final King. Its internal World reaches perfection and can nurture warriors stronger than individual sixth-order Sector Beasts. Luo Feng’s soul enslavement remains effective. |
Background and Nature
Sector Beasts are presented as the antithesis of the Primal Universe: where the universe nurtures life, they destroy it. Under the Supreme Rules, they are born to cleanse life from the Universe Ocean. Their emergence is rare, but their gestation begins with one billion individuals, which compete through mutual devouring 401 427 457.
Their numbers fall as the survivors grow stronger. When Dis supplies intelligence, more than ten million remain, predominantly second-order with a smaller third-order population. The surviving beasts accelerate their evolution once they recognize the danger posed by Luo Feng and Ye Muxuan 444 446 456.
The species is not confined to this Universe Ocean. Sector Beasts can arise throughout the three thousand Universe Oceans, and mature specimens are feared on the Origin Continent. The Pagoda Spirit explains that unenslaved mature beasts are usually besieged by multiple nations before reaching their peak 432 457.
Appearance
- Natural form: Pitch-black body with two adjacent heads, each bearing a single enormous blood-red eye; its presence carries an evil aura 443 457.
- Disguise: The beast attacking Fire Bug True Lord initially appears as a towering silver-gray, steel-like creature resembling Zhenjia King. Its apparent divine-power aura resembles that of a Universe Ocean cultivator 424.
- King transformation: Dis’s blood-red Secret Patterns become increasingly complex and complete. Each head develops a single horn with white light at its tip 457.
Personality
Free Sector Beasts possess intense pride rooted in their souls and prefer death to enslavement. They regard the Universe Ocean’s inhabitants as food; the death of one of their kind at Ye Muxuan’s hands provokes collective outrage and demands for revenge 432 450.
Their rivalry does not prevent cooperation against outside threats. They assemble enormous encirclements around Luo Feng, then resume cannibalism when they conclude that only further evolution can defeat Ye Muxuan. Enslavement reverses Dis’s loyalties completely: it reveres Luo Feng and helps exterminate its own kind 450 452 454 456.
Abilities & Skills
Origin Devouring
Sector Beasts consume the origins of Miniature Universes, threatening both their owners and the lives dependent on them 424 428.
- The first invading beast consumes Fire Bug True Lord’s Miniature Universe in approximately eight days 428 429.
- Three years later, it consumes Rampaging Demon God’s Miniature Universe in a single day 429.
- Entering combat sharply reduces, or can stop, its devouring speed 428.
- A sufficiently large force could drain the Primal Universe’s origin until it collapses and enters Reincarnation 445.
Sector Beast Power and Soul Attacks
Their power annihilates divine power, while their soul attacks can disrupt even True God observers 421 428.
- The first invading beast withstands attacks from God Eye True Master, Juehe True God, and Blood Orchid Ancestor, then kills Fire Bug True Lord 427.
- Blood Orchid loses more than forty percent of his divine body while attempting to stop it 428.
- Individual beasts have relatively weak physical defense, but combined attacks compensate for that weakness 452.
- More than 500,000 beasts force Luo Feng to remain inside the Star Tower; his direct endurance limit at that point is approximately 10,000 beasts attacking together 452.
Innate Sensing
Sector Beasts instinctively perceive one another’s approximate locations and life states 443 445.
- The entire nest senses the death of the beast killed by Ye Muxuan 432.
- They immediately recognize Dis’s enslavement and designate it and Luo Feng as their greatest enemies 445.
- Dis uses this sense to maintain a spherical model showing the remaining beasts’ locations 446 454.
- Luo Feng’s imitation of a Sector Beast does not register as a genuine member of the species 443.
Order-Specific Techniques
- Blood Burning Method — second order: Burns blood to increase combat strength 444 449.
- Sector Light Channel — third order: Provides an additional means of escape rather than an offensive technique 445 451.
- Sector Light Domain — fourth order: An innate ability gained at the fourth stage 445.
- Destruction Origin — fifth order: Grants the destructive ability used by You against Ye Muxuan 445 457.
- Ten Thousand Avatars — sixth order: Allows recovery even if the strongest original body is destroyed. Any surviving avatar can absorb energy and rebuild its strength, making complete elimination extremely difficult 445.
Internal Sector / World
The internal “Sector,” also called the “World” or “realm,” is the species’ most precious component. Mature Sector Beasts gestate the Destruction Origin Dao, making them valuable subjects for cultivators pursuing destruction 432.
- Destroying this vital Sector kills a beast 455.
- Ye Muxuan finds both pure Destruction and the potential for “new life” within the captured realm 433.
- The Incomplete Flat Cylinder absorbs Sector Beast realms, including You’s; it finds second- and third-order realms insufficiently mature 457.
- The King’s perfected World produces powerful warriors. Their numbers are theoretically unlimited if sufficient energy is available 445 458.
- The King must consume treasures or universe origins to supply energy for both its own growth and warrior production 458.
Destiny and the Iron Rules
The species’ fate drives it toward the emergence of a single King 445.
- Hiding or capturing a beast does not remove it from the others’ innate sensing 443.
- The fifth iron law requires the final free beast and the enslaved beast to engage in a final battle to determine the King 456.
- Dis’s transformation does not break its soul enslavement: Luo Feng can still destroy its soul with a thought 458.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Revelation and Preparation
The three Ancestral Gods announce the Sector Beast catastrophe on behalf of the Origin Will and identify the World of Jin as the Universe Ocean’s opportunity to prepare. They reveal the nest’s location and promise rewards for killing Sector Beasts 401 402.
The threat prompts the Universe Ocean’s factions to adopt a covenant protecting their access to the World of Jin. Later expeditions report soul attacks, divine-power annihilation, blood burning, and escape abilities, but the beasts’ population and upper limits remain uncertain 403 421.
Attacks on the Universe Ocean
The first invading beast targets Fire Bug True Lord’s Miniature Universe, kills its owner, and escapes despite pursuit by several leading True Gods. It subsequently attacks other universes, including Rampaging Demon God’s and Purple Moon Holy Land 424 427 428 429 430.
Ye Muxuan kills it with a single strike. Its corpse becomes a cultivation resource, but the victory only provides temporary relief: enormous numbers remain in the Land of Darkness 432 433.
Dis’s Capture and the Nest Campaign
Ye Muxuan captures Dis, and Luo Feng enslaves it using the Three-Star Realm technique. They keep the achievement secret and obtain detailed intelligence about the species’ evolution, abilities, and destiny 442 443 444 445.
With Dis tracking the enemy, Luo Feng enters the nest while Ye Muxuan guards its exit. Luo Feng lures more than nine million beasts together and annihilates them with the stored Source of the Chaos Golden Wings, leaving fewer than one hundred thousand 446 453.
Final King and Resolution
Some survivors escape into the Universe Ocean despite Ye Muxuan’s interception. They resume mutual slaughter to produce a beast capable of defeating him, eventually leaving fifth-order You as the last free survivor 455 456 457.
Ye Muxuan blocks You’s destruction technique, has the Incomplete Flat Cylinder absorb its realm, and kills it. The dead beasts’ energy flows into Dis, transforming it into the enslaved Sector Beast King. The calamity ends, and the Universe Ocean returns to normal 457 458 460.
