Background / History
The Cosmic Sea produces one billion Realm Beasts during an incubation period. They dwell chiefly in the Dim Land of the Tilted Peak Realm, killing and devouring one another until a single King remains. Their destructive purpose threatens Miniature Universes, Holy Land Universes and, ultimately, the Primal Universe 200 215.
Yan Ning enslaves the Second-Stage Realm Beast Black Dragon and sets out to make it the final King. The other Realm Beasts sense its enslavement and regard an enslaved King as a disgrace. As Yan Ning and Black Dragon hunt stronger contenders, the survivors alternately coordinate against them, hide, flee or accelerate their own battles for survival 208 221 224 227.
At the boundary of the Dim Land, Yan Ning destroys the last fleeing Realm Beasts. Their power converges on Black Dragon, completing its transformation into the Realm Beast King 238.
Appearance
Incubating Realm Beasts have ferocious forms and some ability to change shape. Black Dragon’s two-headed form is one example; its King form is markedly different 207 220 238.
- Incubating forms — Black Dragon has long, blade-tipped arms, blood-red markings and tentacle-like tails ending in scarlet eyes 207.
- King form — Black Dragon becomes a fair-skinned, two-eyed lifeform with two white horns and no ears 238.
Abilities & Skills
Devouring and recovery
- Realm Beasts consume Miniature Universe origins and other Realm Beasts’ source power to grow stronger 200 223.
- They can devour energy to recover from injuries 208.
Destruction techniques
- Third-Stage beasts possess Realm Light Passage for escape; Fourth-Stage beasts gain Realm Light Domain 200 227.
- Fifth-Stage beasts gain the attack technique Destruction 200.
- Sixth-Stage beasts can create Myriad Avatars. Black Dragon states that producing more avatars reduces each one’s individual strength 200 237.
Shared perception
- Realm Beasts can sense one another and communicate through a unique soul network. This exposes Yan Ning’s disguise: he can mimic their appearance and aura, but cannot join their communication or register in their mutual perception 200 224 225.
King’s inner realm
- A Realm Beast King retains its earlier abilities, masters the complete Destruction Origin and possesses an inner realm capable of breeding warriors stronger than Sixth-Stage Realm Beasts 200 239.
Relationships

- Bedi — A rival Fourth-Stage Realm Beast killed and devoured by Black Dragon with Yan Ning’s help 223.
