Characteristics
Founders of evolutionary paths
Dao Ancestors are described as the founders and representative figures of an evolutionary path. Their existence naturally resonates with the Heavenly Dao, allowing the surrounding Void and Chaos to merge with them even when they take no action 807.
- A single Dao Ancestor’s thought can alter the future development of an entire world 712.
- Their presence is treated as the decisive military power beneath Immortal Emperors 803.
- Dao Ancestors may establish Dao fields and command followers, factions, or entire cultivation regions 746 748.
Cataclysmic combat
Dao Ancestor battles threaten worlds rather than only their participants.
- Their clashes can destabilize space-time and make the River of Ages surge or fracture 806.
- Fights between comparably powerful Dao Ancestors may last tens or hundreds of thousands of years 860.
- Dao Ancestors can battle through the River of Ages and affect the stability of time and space itself 803.
- Their collateral damage can erase worlds and annihilate weaker cultivators without leaving survivors 729 805.
Artifacts and external power
Dao Ancestors frequently compete over artifacts capable of raising their combat ability.
- Altar Fragments can amplify Grand Dao laws and techniques, potentially allowing a Dao Ancestor to wield Immortal Emperor-level might 732.
- The fragments are tied to the Weird Clan’s Sacrificial Script and are coveted because they also aid Dao comprehension 732.
- Reliance on weird power carries a severe cost: contamination makes further cultivation progress extraordinarily difficult 732.
