Background / History

The Nine Nether Beast emerged when Lin Tian’s formerly unusable Azure Lotus martial soul underwent Prismatic Metamorphosis—Chaos. The transformation granted Lin Tian two god-tier martial souls: the destruction-aligned Nine Nether Beast and the life-aligned Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus. Its initial manifestation split space with black fissures, made the river explode, and shook the nearby mountains and forest with a single howl. 2 3

Although its destructive aura was immense from the moment of awakening, Lin Tian initially had only level-ten Soul Power and no Soul Rings. He suppressed the beast after realizing that the phenomenon would attract powerful Soul Masters. 3

The Nine Nether Beast first physically shielded Shui Bing’er from a Ten-Thousand-Year Withered-Pattern Ancient Demon Tree. Its scaled body withstood the Tree Demon’s spiked vines without damage, allowing Lin Tian to enter the battle and fight directly. 6

Lin Tian later obtained the Nine Nether Beast’s first Soul Ring from the 15,000-year Blackwood Jiao. During the absorption, the beast suppressed and destroyed the Blackwood Jiao’s remnant consciousness within Lin Tian’s Spirit Sea, while the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus purified the remaining energy. 21 22

Appearance

The Nine Nether Beast manifests as a colossal, wolf-headed black beast with four limbs, pitch-black scales, and nine enormous tails. Its presence is accompanied by black light, destructive pressure, and spatial fissures. 2 3

• A savage wolf-like head and glowing, ferocious eyes. 3
• Pitch-black scales with a dim sheen flowing across their surface. 3
• Nine massive tails capable of spreading through the clouds or releasing destructive black light blades. 3 20
• A body large enough to shield Lin Tian and other people from attacks. 6
• During the Blackwood Jiao Soul Ring absorption, wood-grain patterns briefly appeared on its scales before being consumed by its destruction power. 21

Abilities & Skills

Destruction Authority

The Nine Nether Beast embodies destruction. Its power can tear apart obstacles directly, damage the environment simply by manifesting, and gather around Lin Tian’s body for close-quarters attacks. 3 7

• Its howl caused a river to explode, shook mountains and forests, and drove nearby birds into flight. 3
• Its destructive power reinforced Lin Tian’s strikes against the Withered-Pattern Ancient Demon Tree, Blackwood Jiao, Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, and Nether Demon Wolf. 7 21 33 45
• Its nine tails can condense destructive power into black light blades for ranged attacks. 20 31
• It can shatter the lingering consciousness of absorbed Soul Beasts within Lin Tian’s Spirit Sea. 8 21 45

Martial Soul Origin Suppression

The Nine Nether Beast possesses a superior Martial Soul Origin that instinctively suppresses other martial souls and Soul Beasts. 20 28 31

• Its appearance caused Qian Renxue’s Seraphim martial soul to feel threatened despite the difference not being based on Soul Power level. 20
• Its aura slowed Dugu Bo’s Soul Power circulation by suppressing the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. 28
• It weakened Dai Mubai’s White Tiger martial soul and prevented it from fully displaying its usual ferocity. 31
• Soul Beasts in the Great Star Dou Forest fled upon sensing its aura; even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts retreated from its presence. 45

Physical Manifestation

When Lin Tian manifests the Nine Nether Beast alongside the Tank Engine’s accumulated enhancements, his body can expand dramatically and gain immense physical power. The Tank Engine, rather than the martial soul alone, is responsible for the continuing increases to his vitality, strength, agility, and defense. 6 20 23

• Lin Tian first grew to approximately three meters while protecting Shui Bing’er. 6
• At level 20, he directly resisted the Blackwood Jiao’s attacks; injuries healed quickly with support from the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus. 20 21
• At level 45, his transformed body exceeded four meters in height. 23
• At level 51, he grew to five meters while fighting Shrek Academy. 34

Netherworld Mountain-Splitter

The Nine Nether Beast’s first Soul Skill gathers destruction power into Lin Tian’s body or the beast’s claws and tails, then delivers a frontal blow followed by a delayed internal eruption. 22

• Can be released through Lin Tian’s fists, arms, legs, or the Nine Nether Beast’s claws and nine tails. 22
• The second eruption occurs inside the target, making external defenses difficult to rely on. 22
• Receives an additional thirty percent defense-ignoring true damage from Lin Tian’s Prismatic Attribute Forger. 22
• Can trigger critical hits on both stages through the Pearlglow Gauntlet. 22

Dark Gold Soul-Destroying Claw

The fifth Soul Skill was obtained from a 30,000-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear and is suited to the Nine Nether Beast’s destructive nature. 33 40

• Forms dark-gold claws around Lin Tian’s right hand. 40
• Damages both the target’s body and spirit. 33 40
• Partially ignores defenses. 33

Nether Demon Wolf Transformation

The sixth Soul Skill was obtained from a 50,000-year, three-headed Nether Demon Wolf. 45

• Forms a three-headed wolf manifestation from black Soul Power. 45 46
• Enhances Lin Tian’s speed and strength. 45
• Devours an opponent’s Soul Power; the effect becomes more pronounced when the target has a larger Soul Power gap. 45 46
• Can remain active as long as Lin Tian has sufficient Soul Power. 46

Relationships

• Lin Tian — owner and wielder; the Nine Nether Beast resides in his Spirit Sea and provides his principal destructive power. 3 22

• Qian Renxue / Xue Qinghe — witnessed its Origin-level suppression over her Seraphim martial soul during Lin Tian’s battle with the Blackwood Jiao. 20
