|---|---|
| Name | Soul Beast |
| Alias(es) | 魂兽 |
| Species/Race | Soul Beast |
| Occupation/Role | Wild creatures whose soul rings and, in some cases, soul bones are sought by Soul Masters for cultivation 17 107 169 |
| Status | Extant; increasingly endangered by prolonged human hunting 112 168 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 6 |
Characteristics
- Soul Beasts accumulate cultivation measured in years; their age commonly determines their strength and the value of the soul rings they can provide. Documented examples range from thousand-year beasts to Ferocious Beasts with more than 100,000 years of cultivation 19 31 71.
- A Soul Master normally gains a soul ring by killing and absorbing a Soul Beast. Soul rings over 10,000 years retain a lingering will that can assault the absorber's Spiritual Power during the process 107.
- Killing a 100,000-year Soul Beast is said to normally produce both a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, though the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger leaves behind an Evil God Orb instead of a conventional soul ring 169 122.
- Soul Beasts can possess innate soul skills, specialized bloodlines, high intelligence, and speech. Their abilities vary widely by species and cultivation 19 106 172.
- Some Soul Beasts can take human form after reaching 100,000 years of cultivation; such beings normally generate their own soul rings. Gu Yuena is identified as an exception because her sealed strength requires her to absorb Soul Beast soul rings 119.
- Ling Yu's desolate aura causes Soul Beasts throughout Sacred Soul Forest to prostrate themselves as if before a progenitor, including beasts with dragon and phoenix bloodlines 20.
Cultivation and Rank
| Classification | Documented examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Thousand-year Soul Beast | Adamantine Saber-toothed Tiger; Armor-piercing Rhinoceros; Three-Eyed Golden Phoenix | The tiger is estimated at 1,600 years and the rhinoceros at 1,500 years. The phoenix is approximately 3,000 years old 31 19. |
| Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast | Man Faced Demon Spider; Demonic Eye Peacock; Golden-Eyed Demonic Ape | A 20,000-year Man Faced Demon Spider is considered lethal enough to threaten several Soul Masters at once; the Golden-Eyed Demonic Ape hunted by Ling Yu is 53,000 years old 31 107. |
| Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast | Titan Giant Ape; Sky Azure Bull Python; Bloodthirsty Tyrannosaurus | These high-level Soul Beasts possess strength comparable to or exceeding Titled Douluo-level humans 73 170. |
| Ferocious Beast | Scarlet King | Scarlet King is a 250,000-year Three-Headed Crimson Demonic Mastiff and can rival an ordinary Rank 97 Titled Douluo 71. |
Relationship with Soul Masters
Soul Beast hunting is integral to Soul Master advancement: Soul Masters acquire rings by killing Soul Beasts, creating a long-running conflict between the two groups. Ling Yu describes this system as a distorted order imposed by altered rules, one that has made Soul Beasts increasingly scarce and may eventually drive them extinct 112.
Not all encounters end in indiscriminate slaughter. Bibi Dong drives unsuitable Soul Beasts away rather than killing them in Sacred Soul Forest, since each captive beast lost reduces the forest's population 19. The Snow Empress also agrees to direct Ling Yu toward an isolated, dangerous 100,000-year Soul Beast but refuses to help him kill it, leaving the outcome to his own strength 169.
Society and Hierarchy
- Powerful Soul Beasts may rule territories or act as regional overlords. Scarlet King, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python confront invading Evil Soul Masters after hundreds of Soul Beasts are killed 73.
- Dragon-type Soul Beasts are described as having a strict bloodline hierarchy, with weaker or lower-status dragons expected to show deference to stronger, older dragon-kind 172.
- Di Tian commands respect from Scarlet King, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python, establishing him as their superior 76.
- The Far North is governed by major Soul Beast powers including Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and A Tai; each possesses an aura comparable to high-ranking Titled Douluo or stronger 160 164.
- The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is treated as an enemy by the Star Dou Great Forest's 100,000-year Soul Beasts because it grows mainly by hunting and devouring other Soul Beasts 119.
