Entities

**Dark Spirits** are creatures that wander in the border between life and death as they are souls that have gone beyond their limit to retain their consciousness using Yin energy to maintain themselves. Such souls are said to be "Dark Spirits". Generally, Dark Spirits do not possess physical bodies and can exist either a single entity or numerous fragmented entities. They are in a permanent state of confusion and exist solely to devour the life energy of living organisms. Although uncommon, Dark Spirits can fuse to obtain greater power to feed on other souls. This increase in power allows them to take on a physical appearance. After obtaining a physical body, as many of the Dark Spirits become aggressive like beasts, they are called Spiritual Beasts.

**Spiritual Beasts** are creatures that gain immense power by eating other spirits, so they eventually obtain a physical body. The strength of a spiritual beast can be categorized into different levels called "Lives":

* A spiritual beast that has eaten ten dark spirits can activate their special abilities and is called a "First-life Spiritual Beast".

* After eating a hundred, they become a "Second-life Spiritual Beast.

* After eating a thousand, they become a "Third-life Spiritual Beast".

* After eating ten thousand, they become a "Fourth-life Spiritual Beast" and so on till they reach the level of a "Ninth-life Spiritual Beast", who is the strongest spiritual beast the World has recorded, and someone who can tame such creature is said to have tremendous powers.

**Rash Spirits** are symbiotic Spiritual Beasts that refer to multiple of them that exist as a single entity. The weaker ones watch the surroundings and hunt for souls and in exchange, the stronger ones protect the, from enemies. The strongest one is able to gain control of the life energy of the entire entity.

**Ghosts** are born when the soul of a living being has yet to dissipate and is nourished with Yin Qi, and most of them don't have a physical body. They can change their form freely from immaterial to material and reverse. They have no consciousness and attack the living after absorbing the souls of their prey, thus their own soul's strength will increase and they will gain consciousness then they will seek even more souls and attack other Ghosts in order to increase their power to gain a corporeal body. Most ghosts are venomous insects or animals with ferocious nature, that's why they are called Soul Beasts.

**Soul Beasts:** are entities that seek to enhance their own soul strength by killing and devouring other ghosts, the stronger the ghost, the more distinct its's body. Cultivators divide them by rank depending on how many Ghosts they have eaten. Like Spiritual Beasts, they have divined in levels knowns as "Grades":

* A spiritual beast that has eaten ten dark spirits can activate their special abilities and is called a "Soul Beast of 1st Grade".

* After eating a hundred, they become a "Soul Beast of 2nd Grade.

* After eating a thousand, they become a "Soul Beast of 3rd Grade".

* After eating ten thousand, they become a "Soul Beast of 4rt Grade" and so on till they reach the level of a "Soul Beast of 9th Grade", who has reached the apex of the world, and if there is an opportunity they may try to ascend.
