Empyrean

Empyreans (衍天者 *yantianzhe*) are a legendary class of cultivators. They are at a level beyond rank 9 celestials.

## Information

Empyreans are born in times of calamity. They are the result of the heavens' will, birthed to fight against upcoming catastrophe or perhaps in times when the world is in great chaos, when a supreme power is about to be exterminated, there is a chance of an Empyrean appearing. These Empyreans would all rise like shooting stars. Bringing order to chaos, they fight against a crazy tide and are existences that stand at the peak of the martial path.

Empyreans can be compared to Crown Princes under the Heavenly Daos, while every Celestial from the 1st to the 9th Tier are all servants, basically slaves. As for Favored, they are only commoners. Compared to Empyreans, normal cultivators are lower than even the weakest commoner, comparable to ants.

Unlike Celestials, Empyreans don't need to have the energy of the Heavenly Daos being lent to them, as they have the full control of it.

## Initial Awakening

The Initial Awakening refers to an Empyrean whose manifestation stops being a ball of Primal Chaos and begins to manifest itself, like a chick who has come out of its egg. They carry a greater suppressive effects against Empyreans who didn't reach their Initial Awakening yet.[*Citation needed*]

## Full Awakening

The Full Awakening is the final stage of an Empyrean's average manifestation. The more of a manifestation is shown off from the presence of Primal Chaos, the closer it approaches the stage of Full Awakening. However, even when it completely reveals its body for the whole world to see, it will never be considered fully awakened until the Empyrean has reached the Life Star Realm, utilizing their World Energy to fuel their manifestation and be able to utilize it at its full power.[*Citation needed*]

Only when they fully awakened their manifestations would they be true Empyreans. Born from the heavens, sent to uphold the will of heaven and earth, and standing above all other geniuses. Only such figures were true heavenly geniuses.

Currently, ninety-nine percent of Empyreans on the Martial Heaven Continent only had a simple primal chaos manifestation. Those whose manifestations had started to awaken were as rare as a phoenix feather or unicorn horn.

Empyreans with awakened manifestations had a powerful suppressive effect on ordinary Empyreans. If the Heavenly Daos were like sunlight, then ordinary Empyreans were wheat, while Empyreans with awakened manifestations were trees.

## Ranking

Among the Empyreans' manifestations, there is a ranking that regulates their respective strength, and the top 100 manifestations are all called Heavens' Soul Manifestations.

The currently known manifestations are:

* **Nine Dragons Devour The Heavens** (Heavens' Soul Manifestation/Long Aotian) - 3rd Rank
* **Stone Forest Manifests Long Life** (Heavens' Soul Manifestation/Shi Lingfeng)
* **Mo Gate Hidden Dual Sages** (Heavens' Soul Manifestation/Mo Nian)
* **Devil Sword Pierces the Firmament** (Heavens' Soul Manifestation/Jian Wuchen)
* **Sea-Ring Buries All Life** (Heavens' Soul Manifestation/Six Horn Sea Serpent expert)
* **Ice Divine Sword** (Heavens' Soul Manifestation/Ye Zhiqiu)
* **Devil Ape Roars at the Firmament** (Normal/Zhao Wuji)
* **Dragon Blood Manifestation(?)** (Irregular\*/Almost the whole Dragonblood Legion)
* **Divine Music Through Eternity** (???/Zi Yan)
* **Wind Moon Severs Twilight and Dawn** (Unknown/Tang Wan'er)

\*The manifestation has been awakened by an almost absolute majority of the members of the Dragonblood Legion, and it has been affected by their dragon blood, thus it cannot be categorized as normal or a superior kind of manifestation. All it is known is that it has broken the law that there can be only one kind of manifestation in the whole world and nobody else can copy that.

## Heavens' Soul Manifestation

A Heavens' Soul Manifestation is a unique kind of manifestation belonging to Empyreans, its power is on the top 100 among the known manifestations an Empyrean can develop, and unlike the normal ones, they have special properties and characteristics.

First, their name will be unknown to them until they undergo a second awakening, and it will be then that the manifestation's name will be revealed to the Empyrean.

Second, they are able to protect the Empyrean who possesses it from the life-stealing properties of Death Energy.

To awaken an Heavens' Soul Manifestation a second time, there is a certain requirement to follow. The first and only requirement is that their Spirit Blood must be awakened, only then it is possible to form a connection with a Heavens' Soul Manifestation and awaken it a second time.

The power of an Empyrean with a fully-awakened Heavens' Soul Manifestation is able to destroy other awakened Empyreans at their same level with a normal attack, signaling the immense difference between an Empyrean who went through a second awakening and the average Life Star Empyrean.

It is also possible to further increase one's power by using one's Spirit Blood to create a chain to link yourself with your manifestation, granting you a portion of the manifestation's original power. As an example, Kun Pengzi linked himself with his manifestation to let it grant him the power of the Peng Emperor, obtaining their Blood Qi.

## Yuan Spirit

Empyreans are different from Celestials. For Celestials, condensing a Yuan Spirit is like a second life. They can survive even if their physical bodies are destroyed, and their Yuan Spirits even have a bit of power to fight. But Empyreans can use their Yuan Spirits to form hand seals for their true body to unleash magical arts. The two work together during combat.

Once Empyreans reached Soul Transformation and fully condensed their Yuan Spirits, their Yuan Spirit would help them fight, allowing them to unleash magical arts while the main body fought. That was the most frightening aspect of Soul Transformation Empyreans. In that fight, he had felt like he was fighting two people at once.
