Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Second-Order World Beast | 133 | Reached with World Beast corpses supplied by Chen Ao in exchange for cooperation in hunting other second-order beasts. |
| Third-Order World Beast | 136 | Advanced with Chen Ao’s help during the confrontation with Aidi, then joined the battle against him. |
| Middle Third Order | 138 | Reached after the pair hunted more than ten third-order World Beasts. |
| Fourth-Order World Beast | 145 | Confirmed at this order during the hunt for Mohe. His World Beast power was equivalent to a divine body approximately twenty million kilometers tall. |
| Fifth-Order World Beast | 146 | Became the only fifth-order beast in the nest after the fourth-order competitors were eliminated. Still lost to Chen Ao in a battle of attrition. |
| Sixth-Order World Beast | 146 | Reached after several thousand years of absorbing World Beasts that voluntarily sacrificed themselves. His power reserve approached ten billion kilometers, but Chen Ao defeated him again. |
| World Beast King | 146 147 | Transformed as the remaining World Beasts detonated themselves and their destructive power converged on him. Gained hundred-thousandfold genes and a reserve of roughly ten light-years. Despite his Eternity-level destructive abilities, his actual power realm remained at the beginning of the Void level. |
| Void Realm with Initial-Level Eternity techniques | 148 | On the Origin Continent, used his Eternal-level comprehension to create a sword technique suited to his new weapon. Could contend with Initial-Level Eternity opponents without being an Eternal True God himself. |
| Combat strength approaching Mid-Level Eternity | 160 | Improved through inheritance study. Defeated two Beast-Power Voids while breaking out of a confrontation on the Haoshi Battlefield. |
| Eternal True God | 161 | Broke through once his strength reached Mid-Level Eternity. By his return to Haotian Sect nearly eighty thousand eras after leaving, he possessed High-Level Eternity combat strength without an Eternal-level Divine Power Burning Secret Technique. |
Appearance
- Original form: A large-headed, two-headed creature with two mouths. Chen Ao describes the World Beasts’ appearance as resembling two-headed frogs 137 139 146.
- King transformation: Briefly grew a horn on each head before becoming a beautiful humanoid creature with no ears and two curved horns on his forehead. His formerly savage aura became deeply concealed 146.
- Human disguise: After passing through reincarnation, adopted a dark-skinned male human appearance. He first copied Chen Ao’s appearance and aura, then changed forms at Chen Ao’s insistence 147.
- Variable appearance: His hundred-thousandfold genes allowed him to transform freely rather than remain bound to one physical form 146.
Personality
Saike is proud of being a World Beast and repeatedly dismisses other beings as “lower life-forms.” Becoming the final king is his overriding ambition: he considers outside assistance acceptable if it secures that goal, even when other World Beasts condemn him for it 132 135.
His pride frequently gives way to fear of death. He bargains, flatters Chen Ao, and accepts humiliating conditions when threatened, while privately planning revenge once he becomes stronger. Chen Ao identifies his fearfulness, greed, and limited fighting skill as reasons he is manageable 136 137 146.
Saike becomes vicious when he believes he holds an advantage. Against weaker opponents, he willingly trades injuries for kills and treats their bodies as nourishment. His early reliance on brute force gradually gives way to genuine combat training after he obtains sect inheritances 150 156 160.
Abilities & Skills
Devouring and Energy Conversion
- Before becoming king, increased his strength by consuming other World Beasts or universe-origin power 138.
- Devoured Purple Moon Holy Land’s origin until its universe collapsed 138 139.
- As king, could consume both divine-power and beast-power life, breaking down their remains inside his internal realm 148.
- Favored beast-power corpses because their bloodline energy could remain largely intact after death, unlike divine power expended during a prolonged fight 148.
Destruction Power and Swordsmanship
- Possessed an internal Destruction Origin that Chen Ao used to study destruction laws and develop secret techniques 136 137 145.
- Initially wielded destruction crudely; even at the sixth order, his lack of a suitable refined technique limited its effectiveness 146.
- Created an Initial-Level Eternity sword technique shortly after receiving a Void-level sword 148.
- Improved his fighting skills through Haotian Sect inheritances and the cultivation insights supplied by Chen Ao 156 160.
World Light Domain and Internal Realm
- At the fourth order, possessed World Light Domain, an innate domain ability comparable to a Void True God’s void formation 145.
- Could admit Chen Ao’s divine-power clone into his internal realm to comprehend destruction 136 137.
- Used World Beast Domain to devour the remaining origin after the beast-power Eternal’s defeat 151.
- Could split into one hundred bodies, as demonstrated while pursuing Aidi’s fleeing clones 136.
World Light Passage
- Escaped several hundred light-years after Chen Ao struck him with an Origin 146 147.
- Could bypass a locked-down void, preventing ordinary spatial suppression from trapping him 150.
- Each use consumed approximately one light-year of his body’s power; repeated escapes could exhaust even his enormous reserves 150.
- His final World Beast Domain Passage activated despite a God King restraining his body, but the Black Fiend God King shattered the passage itself 161.
Soul Roar
- Annihilated hundreds of Purple Moon Holy Land Universe Masters and later killed Zhen Jiao instantly 138 139.
- Possessed Chaos Master-level will by the attack on the No. 4 Beast-Power Gathering Place 150.
- Wiped out almost all of the settlement’s Beast-Power True Gods with a single roar. Strong-willed survivors resisted, and killing Void True Gods through the same technique was more difficult 150.
Power Reserves and Recovery
- As king, possessed a body and power reserve on the scale of ten light-years, allowing him to endure attacks that destroyed millions or hundreds of millions of kilometers at a time 146 150.
- Had neither a True God Heart nor a miniature universe. Opponents therefore had to deplete his power rather than destroy a vulnerable heart 150.
- Could rapidly replenish himself from the Universe Ocean’s chaotic currents after becoming king 146.
- Recovery through Divine Power Crystals was too slow to offset heavy losses during combat 150.
Transformation and Aura Concealment
- Could change between divine-power and beast-power life states after becoming king 147 150.
- Altered both appearance and divine-power aura, including imitating Chen Ao 147.
- Used a divine-power disguise to conceal his World Beast King identity on the Origin Continent 147 148.
- Believed that, if he escaped the Black Fiend God King and changed his aura, even a God King would be unable to locate him 161.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Origin Supreme Treasure — Given by Chen Ao to accelerate recovery while Saike was transformed into a divine-power life-form 147.
- Top-grade Void-level equipment set — Formerly worn by Chen Ao’s clone; supplied to Saike on the Origin Continent. Improved his attacks and defenses, though his comprehension already exceeded its level 148.
- Void-grade sword supreme treasure — Part of his fighting equipment; used to channel destruction through a self-created sword technique 148 149.
- Cultivation inheritances — Obtained basic inheritances as a Haotian Sect core disciple and additional Eternal-level insights from Chen Ao 156.
History
Alliance in the Dim Land
Chen Ao captured Saike while hunting World Beasts and offered him corpses in exchange for locating stronger prey. Saike led him to Morosa, whose defeat convinced him that Chen Ao could kill second-order beasts. Their partnership was secured by an oath not to attack Chen Ao or his people, followed by enough corpses to raise Saike to the second order 132 133.
Saike initially preferred hunting weaker beasts, slowing his growth. When Aidi began pursuing him, he appealed to Chen Ao for rescue and agreed to provide unrestricted access to his Destruction Origin and address him as “elder brother.” After Saike reached the third order, the pair pursued Aidi for more than a hundred years before trapping and killing him 136 137.
Destruction of Purple Moon Holy Land
Chen Ao brought Saike out of the Dim Land to attack Purple Moon Holy Land’s universe origin. Saike’s Soul Roar eliminated hundreds of its Universe Masters, forcing the survivors to retreat 138.
During the subsequent confrontation, Saike killed Zhen Jiao and consumed the remaining origin until the holy land collapsed. He wanted to attack East Emperor Holy Land next for more nourishment, but Chen Ao refused and took him back to the Dim Land 139.
Becoming the Final King
Saike and Chen Ao pursued the fourth-order Mohe for a million years before killing him. Their continued hunting eventually left Saike as the nest’s sole fifth-order World Beast 145 146.
To overcome resistance from his own kind, Saike promised that becoming stronger would let him cripple Chen Ao despite his oath. World Beasts sacrificed themselves to raise him to the sixth order, then detonated themselves after Chen Ao defeated him again, bringing about his transformation into their king 146.
Saike immediately challenged Chen Ao once more. An Origin attack destroyed over ninety percent of his power, and the threat of additional Origins forced him to abandon his plan to devour the Primal Universe and leave the Universe Ocean through reincarnation 146 147.
Journey Across the Origin Continent
Saike adopted a divine-power disguise and agreed to follow Chen Ao while concealing his identity. He defended Stone Village against beast-power attackers, then pursued the survivors until encountering a settlement guarded by eight Eternal-level beings and retreating 147 148 149.
He later destroyed the No. 4 Beast-Power Gathering Place but could not shake its surviving Eternal True God. Chen Ao’s Chess Sword Sea helped wear down and kill their pursuer. After E Tian organized an ambush against them, Saike helped Chen Ao destroy the Crocodile Ancestor Tribe and consumed the origins of E Tian’s and E Di’s miniature universes 150 151 152.
The pair escaped Dark Nether City during its forced mobilization against a beast-power army. They eventually reached the Snake Staff Tribe within Haotian Gate’s sphere of influence and waited for recruitment 153.
Haotian Sect and Impersonation
Saike passed Yu Lan’s recruitment assessment and became a core disciple, gaining access to inheritances he had previously lacked. Chen Ao later supplied additional cultivation insights to keep him occupied while impersonating him on the Haoshi Battlefield 154 156.
The impersonator’s slaughter of thousands of Stone Kingdom experts made Saike’s name notorious. When the real Saike finally visited the battlefield, those experts attacked him for deeds he had not committed. He killed two Beast-Power Voids while escaping, then moved toward a different battlefield and unsuccessfully tried to contact Chen Ao 157 160.
Exposure and Death
After nearly eighty thousand eras of hunting and cultivation, Saike returned as an Eternal True God with High-Level Eternity combat strength. He hoped to find Chen Ao and finally demonstrate his superiority 161.
Instead, Chen Ao revealed his World Beast King identity to the Black Fiend God King. The God King summoned Saike, demanded to inspect his internal world, and attacked when his identity became clear. After his escape passage was shattered and his pleas to Chen Ao went unanswered, Saike blamed his own greed and self-destructed 161.
Relationships
- Chen Ao — Benefactor, hunting partner, self-styled elder brother, and lifelong rival. Their outward brotherhood concealed mutual distrust and plans to kill one another. Chen Ao ultimately exposed Saike’s identity to the Black Fiend God King 132 136 147 161.
- World Beast Clan — His own kind regarded his reliance on Chen Ao as a disgrace. Saike eventually won their sacrifices by promising revenge against Chen Ao, enabling him to become their final king 135 140 146.
- Aidi — Third-order pursuer who forced Saike to seek Chen Ao’s protection. Later killed by their combined efforts 136.
- Shi Hao — Stone Village representative who regarded Saike as an exceptional genius after Chen Ao praised his talent and he defeated the tribe’s attackers 148 149.
- E Tian — Initially guided Saike to a beast-power settlement, then arranged an ambush to seize the pair’s treasures. Saike helped destroy his tribe after the betrayal 149 150 151 152.
- Yu Lan — Haotian Sect recruitment examiner who assessed Saike’s age and secret technique before his admission as a core disciple 154.
- Black Fiend God King — Exposed Saike’s disguise, blocked his escape, and reduced him to the point of self-destruction 161.
Notable Quotes
“Becoming the final king is all that matters!” 135
“So be it. I was never suited to becoming the king. I only have my own greed to blame. Had I let a stronger World Beast become the king instead, perhaps our great king wouldn't have met such a miserable end!” 161
Trivia
- Saike has no sense of taste; he considers anything rich in energy delicious 149.
- He estimated other World Beasts’ strength through their shared chat group rather than directly sensing their order 138.
- Yu Lan determined that Saike had been born less than ten thousand eras before his Haotian Sect recruitment 154.
- While studying sect inheritances, Saike wondered whether he could become the first World Beast to advance through law comprehension rather than relying solely on devouring energy 156.
