Background / History

The Sea Race occupies the vast outer seas of the Nine Dragons Sea alongside the Demon Race, while human forces control nine major inner-sea regions. Though less populous than humans or demons, Sea Race members possess special talents, thrive in ocean environments, and are individually formidable; their overall strength is considered comparable to the Human Race. 717 776

The race is divided into tribes of differing strength and appearance. The Crystal Scale Tribe, active near Qiyuan Island and the Thunder Abyss, rose from a Level Three to a Level Four tribe after Aize communicated with the Ancestral Sea and awakened Prophecy Talent; the Tidal Council then granted it resources and authority to annex the Wo Jia Tribe. 784

Conflict over the Golden Abyss brought the Crystal Scale Tribe into open war with Qiyuan Island’s three major human powers. Its Abyss Master, Cole, led a force that matched the human coalition in overall strength and included ten Fourth-grade cultivators. 817 818

The Sea Race later aligned with the Demon Race in a large-scale war against the Human Race. Their forces occupied substantial territory, attacked Cangyuan, and sought the Ice Phoenix Clan ancestor’s remains, the Abyssal Heavenly Pool, and Ning Fa’s death. 916 1021 1080

After decades of preparation, the Tidal Council activated a super great array at the Gelan Archipelago and opened a spatial passage to the Sea Origin Realm. Reinforcements included Spirit Transformation cultivators, hundreds of Fourth-grade cultivators, and large numbers of Third-grade troops. 1098 1099

The Human Race eventually destroyed this interdimensional passage, cutting off Sea Origin Realm reinforcements. The Sea Race and allied Sea Monsters then intensified the war, captured Zhenhai City after nine years, and shifted toward occupying territory and plundering resources across surrounding cultivation worlds. 1138

At Five-Star Yalan City, the Sea Race attempted to use the God Descent Array to condense and summon a lord’s Sea Soul True Body. Ning Fa, the Demon Lord, and Huan Yu breached the lair, killed Kailandir and Kane, and shattered the Sea Emperor Battle Body formed by Sea Race Spirit Transformation cultivators. 1157 1158 1159 1160

Appearance

Sea Race cultivators generally resemble humanoids but possess visibly aquatic traits. Their appearances vary considerably by tribe, and some high-ranking members can appear almost entirely human. 779 1022 1021

• Deep-blue or pale-blue skin, commonly covered in fine scales. 779 804
• Seaweed-like or curled hair is common. 804 855
• Many members are taller and more physically imposing than humans. 779
• Tribal traits can include serpentine lower bodies, multiple heads or arms, fleshy wings, flood-dragon tails, and aquatic true forms. 1027 1079 1098 1106
• Some elite figures, such as Lor, lack obvious Sea Race traits and can pass visually as human. 1021

Story Role / Major Arcs

Qiyuan Island and Thunder Abyss

Sea Race forces raid merchant ships, capture human cultivators, and contest the Golden Abyss with Qiyuan Island’s human factions. Ning Fa’s repeated killings of Sea Race cultivators expose their crystal cores as a stable source of Origin Points for his Source-Crossing Heavenly Book. 779 780 818

Cangyuan Campaign

The Sea Race expands operations into Cangyuan, prioritizing Ning Fa’s elimination and searching for the Ice Phoenix ancestor’s remains and the Abyssal Heavenly Pool. 920 1021

Sea Origin Realm Invasion

Dario’s Tidal Council completes the Gelan Archipelago super array and establishes a channel to the Sea Origin Realm, allowing a vast Sea Race army and Spirit Transformation experts to enter the Human Realm. The Demon Race subsequently aligns with the Sea Race. 1098 1099

Human Realm War

The Sea Race and its allies wage a prolonged racial war against humans, including mass slaughter of mortals to refine magic treasures. After losing access to cross-realm reinforcements, they seize Zhenhai City and adopt a resource-plundering expansion strategy across multiple cultivation worlds. 1103 1138

Five-Star Yalan City

The Sea Race’s attempt to complete the God Descent Array becomes a decisive vulnerability. Ning Fa’s group infiltrates Five-Star Yalan City, kills several key defenders, defeats Kane’s Sea Soul True Body, and destroys the Sea Emperor Battle Body. 1157 1158 1159 1160

Trivia

• Sea Race members can be physically and culturally diverse enough that their tribal origins are recognizable at a glance. 1022
• Aize’s Prophecy Talent elevated not only his own status but also the rank and resources of the Crystal Scale Tribe. 784
• The Sea Race’s population is smaller than that of the Human and Demon Races, but its members’ individual strength compensates for this disadvantage. 717
