Heavenly Beasts

The Heavenly Beasts (天兽) of the story Heavenly Jewel Change are classified according to the standard power levels (Shi, Zun, Zong etc), but are usually more powerful than a Jewel Master of the corresponding level. Every Zong stage Heavenly Beast may be considered a strong Heavenly Jewel Master.

Warning: When Heavenly Beasts feel their life threatened then they may enter a berserk state, bringing forth terrifying power by draining their life force. Under such a state they can use several times their innate power, and maintain a slim slither of consciousness. However, this can be maintained for only so long, then leaving the Heavenly Beast in a weakened condition for some time.

## Black Big Octopus

It's a Zong Stage Heavenly Beast that gives the Touch of Darkness.

## Dragons

True Dragons are usually not found anywhere except the Wan Shou Empire, where there are many dragon-like Heavenly Beasts. Even when newborn, Dragons are powerful Zong Stage Heavenly Beasts while adults are top-ranked among Heavenly Beasts.

The armor produced from dragonhide is not only light and flexible, but of extremely high defense. More importantly is the aura it gives off will deter ordinary Heavenly Beasts.

## Ghost Demon Horse

It is a social Heavenly Beast that lives together in a large group, and are generally at the lower level Zun Stage. Although this Heavenly Beast’s cultivation level is not considered low or high individually, it is one of the easiest to tame. They live in the Ghost Demon Forest, in the Zhongtian Empire.

They do not have any ranged attacks, and the main reason why they are rated as low level Zun Stage is actually because of their bodies and physiques. On their bodies, they have a layer of black scales covering every part of them, easily able to defend against a powerful crossbow bolt. In addition to their speed, endurance and sheer strength and carrying load, they can be said to be the best horse-type mounts in the entire mainland.

Ghost Demon Horses have superb endurance, and they are best at charging, especially with their powerful physiques. In fact, within the ZhongTian Empire northern armies, they have a specialised Legion called the Ghost Demon Heavy Cavalry Legion 1. It is only this Legion that is able to fight against the WanShou Empire armies with equal numbers, and it is the credit of the Ghost Demon Horses. However, their Ghost Demon Horses are all bred and raised in human captivity, and are no match for those which grow and live in the wild.
