Classification

Rank	Grades
Mortal rank	Lower, middle, upper
Spiritual rank	Lower, middle, upper
Immortal rank	Lower, middle, upper

A divine ability’s seed grade determines its potential, while the number of seeds a cultivator can bear depends on the strength of their divine soul. Mortal-rank abilities may be weaker than certain profound spells or wondrous arts. 61

Ancient-race innate divine abilities are exceptionally powerful; the dragon race's command over wind and rain and the phoenix race's nirvana are described as being at least fourth-grade spiritual rank. 61

A lesser or minor divine ability can be strengthened through repeated enhancement, but ninth-grade lesser divine abilities still possess incomplete runes. Nascent Soul Tribulation Golden Light can complete such runes and elevate them into true divine abilities. 128

Cultivation

Divine abilities are created by using divine soul as “brush and ink” to carve an ancient foundational rune into the illusory sea of consciousness. The rune requires a special catalyst, called mediating power, before it can become a viable seed. 61

Known forms of mediating power include:

• Sword intent for sword cultivators. 61
• Blood baleful intent for demonic cultivators. 61
• Karmic Retribution, used by Zhao Hao as material for his Li Fire-based divine ability seed. 50 51 61
• Earth fire, which Zhao Hao uses when condensing a first-grade seed. 61
• Demon-beast bloodlines, which can awaken bloodline divine abilities through Blood Spirit Pills and the Blood Spirit Scripture. 78 95

Once hatched, a seed becomes a complete rune branded upon the divine soul. Unlike ordinary spells, divine abilities can communicate with the power of heaven and earth; their power grows with the wielder’s realm and comprehension, allowing them to accompany a cultivator throughout life. 61

The Blood Spirit Scripture erases the residual wills within demon-beast bloodlines while preserving their primitive bloodline power. Although the resulting borrowed abilities initially unleash only a fraction of the original demon beast's power, the technique theoretically permits unlimited bloodline fusion so long as the user's Origin Bloodline Power is sufficient. 78

Zhao Hao uses the System to treat low-grade or incomplete divine abilities as enhancement materials. This enables him to surpass the rank ceiling imposed by the incomplete Blood Spirit Scripture and restore bloodline-derived abilities to their full grades. 96

At Nascent Soul, Tribulation Golden Light can be directed into ninth-grade lesser divine-ability runes to fill their missing portions. This completes their transformation into true divine abilities and substantially improves the user's control over them. 128

Divine abilities can be reinforced through compatible rule comprehensions. Zhao Hao's Karma, Heart Demon, and Fire Rules can strengthen Red Lotus Karmic Fire and his Heavenly Demon divine abilities, while Wind and Water Rules respectively complement Golden Roc Spreads Wings and Thousand Ghost Servants Scale-Guarding Shield. 151 178

Types

Acquired Divine Abilities

Acquired divine abilities are cultivated after birth through the carving, catalysis, and hatching of a divine ability seed. Their creation is dangerous enough that ambitious cultivators avoid casually condensing low-grade seeds, since their divine souls have limited capacity. 61

• Li Fire Bright Void Pupil — Old Ancestor Guo’s pupil-based divine ability, capable of seeing through all things. 61
• Crimson Li Karma Fire / Red Lotus Karmic Fire — A karmic-fire ability cultivated by Zhao Hao; it evolves into Red Lotus Karmic Fire after his Golden Core tribulation. It specializes in burning and attacking divine souls, though its fire nature leaves it vulnerable to certain highly sharp metal-attributed attacks. 50 51 83 130
• Earth-Li Origin Flame — A minor divine ability cultivated by Zhao Hao after reaching Golden Core. Unlike Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it is a conventional fire-attributed offensive ability effective against targets such as puppets and formations. 86
• Five Finger Mountain — Used by Zhao Hao during his heart-demon trial to trick and capture an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon clone. 82
• Eye of Chaos — A ninth-grade divine ability awakened from Zhao Hao's vertical brow mark after he absorbs the final tribulation lightning and completes his Heavenly Demon transformation. It can redirect hostile attacks and disrupt enemy coordination amid large-scale combat. 204 269
• Fleeting Life, Illusory Dream — A ninth-grade Sky Fox illusion ability whose power increases with the number of fox tails possessed by the user. 212
• Nine-Tailed Life Substitute — A ninth-grade karmic ability that transfers the user's injuries to a prepared medium. Hu Qingshan uses it to survive Zhao Hao's ambush at the cost of further fox tails. 212 231

Innate Divine Abilities

Innate divine abilities, also called inborn divine abilities, are abilities possessed at birth by powerful ancient races. 61

• Star Eye Divine Ability — Used by a mid-stage Golden Core Golden Roc; it pierces Wan Renli’s defenses. 90
• Golden Eyes — Awakened by Zhao Hao from Ancestral Golden Roc blood through Blood Spirit Pills; later enhanced to sixth grade. It can pierce Fan Jin’s fifth-grade Mystic Armor Protection, see through Linyuan City’s protection array, and identify the artifact origins of Magical Treasure Spirit Race members. 95 96 98 107 247
• Golden Roc Spreads Wings — Awakened from Golden Roc blood and enhanced to sixth grade; used for escape and flight. It later becomes a ninth-grade true divine ability. 96 102 128
• Mystic Armor Protection — Awakened from a Mystic Turtle Blood Spirit Pill at first grade, then enhanced to sixth grade. 95 96
• Camouflage — Enhanced to sixth grade for concealment; Zhao Hao uses it with Golden Roc Spreads Wings to evade Elder Wu. It is later completed into a ninth-grade true divine ability. 96 102 147
• Rapid Digestion — Enhanced to sixth grade for its specialized utility, allowing Zhao Hao to rapidly digest spiritual objects and replenish spiritual power and Vitality Energy. 96
• Fire Spirit Affinity — A fire-attributed ability associated with Zhao Hao's Fire Spirit Body. At ninth grade, it can gather and control fire-attributed spiritual qi over an enormous area. 69 124 128
• Ghost Servant Soul-Devouring Wave — An Azure-Winged White Tiger bloodline ability focused purely on attacking the soul. 113
• Geng-Edge Tide-Shattering Breath — A fierce metal-attributed Azure-Winged White Tiger ability that can form a destructive Geng Metal storm. 113 130
• Thousand Ghost Servants Scale-Guarding Shield — An Azure-Winged White Tiger defensive ability that protects both the physical body and soul. It is later elevated into a ninth-grade true divine ability. 113 128
• Formless Demon Body — A core Heavenly Demon life-preserving ability that turns its user into intangible black smoke, allowing them to ignore most attacks, formations, and restrictions; specialized soul attacks such as Red Lotus Karmic Fire remain a weakness. 132 133
• Heavenly Demon Contract — A witnessing-type Heavenly Demon ability that permits a Heavenly Demon to sense breaches of a contract and potentially invade the violator's sea of consciousness when their soul is weakened. 132 133
• Other-Transformation Calamity Thought — A Heavenly Demon ability that records a spatial coordinate and opens a gateway for entering and leaving inner landscape worlds, at the cost of continuously consuming soul power. At ninth grade, Zhao Hao can use it to open a vortex gate connecting to an avatar. 132 134 231
• Plant Demon in the Dao Heart — A Heavenly Demon ability used to implant a demon seed in a target's Dao heart and soul, allowing Zhao Hao to create and control avatars across multiple worlds. 132 145 194 242
• Heavenly Demon Illusion Realm — A Heavenly Demon ability that creates and controls a heart-demon illusion realm; Zhao Hao strengthens it to ninth grade after its first-rank form proves insufficiently controllable. With perfected Heart Demon Rule support, it can render beings below Void Refinement unable to perceive Hu Yang. 132 136 143 210
• Water Manipulation / Water Control — A ninth-grade True Dragon ability that gathers and controls water-attributed spiritual qi. 194 195

• Heavenly Demon Transformation — A ninth-grade ability born from the Heavenly Demon Body that permits transformations into various demon beasts through bloodline power rather than spiritual-power expenditure. It significantly amplifies divine abilities sharing the transformed race's origin. 199
• Bloodline Reversion — A ninth-grade ability that purifies and evolves true-spirit bloodlines, though its use consumes enormous quantities of life-source energy. 199
• Hundred Convergences Crystal Condensation Art — An innate Crystal Race divine ability mastered by Xiao Gu. It condenses mana into Spirit Crystals and brands the user's law comprehensions into them for later absorption and study. 250

Trivia

• Zhao Hao regards low-grade divine ability seeds, which other cultivators hesitate to condense, as valuable strengthening materials for his System. 61
• The Blood Spirit Scripture can erase demonic-beast wills while retaining their bloodline power, enabling repeated bloodline fusion and the acquisition of additional divine abilities. 78
• Zhao Hao’s System enhancement of a sixth-grade Lesser Divine Ability consumes two fourth-rank, five third-rank, twenty-five second-rank, and 125 first-rank minor divine abilities. 96
• Zhao Hao later sacrifices hundreds of bloodline-derived divine abilities, most at fifth grade or higher, to raise Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Golden Roc Spreads Wings, and Thousand Ghost Servants Scale-Guarding Shield to ninth grade. 128
• Heavenly Demon Transformation is much less spiritually taxing than True Dragon Body because it performs a genuine bloodline-origin transformation, whereas True Dragon Body forcefully simulates the form through spiritual power. 199
• Xiao Gu combines Hundred Convergences Crystal Condensation Art with Zhao Hao's System and more than a thousand Nascent Soul avatars, establishing a mass-production method for upgraded Spirit Crystals. 250
