Beasts

Their bloodline is their class, and their levels come with a higher number of raw attributes to compensate for the lack of titles. A strong bloodline would give more attribute points, whereas a weak bloodline would give fewer. Greater bloodlines would also provide a greater number of bloodline skills. **Chapter 335**

F-grade beasts are almost always weaker compared to cultivators level for level, except for some unique races. **Chapter 729**

E-grade beasts are a bit better off, but still slightly behind. They have gained some basic intelligence and an understanding of the Dao, but they are still a tier lower compared to cultivators with their weapons, and skills, and so on (**Chapter 729B).** Apparently, as well as for the cultivators, one of the requirements for reaching E-Grade is one low-grade Dao Seed. **Chapter 91**

However, that all change at the D-grade. The boost in power for humans is big, but it is even bigger for beasts. Beast Kings are essentially the lowest grade beasts that are considered bestial cultivators, beings who follow in the steps of the Beast Ancestor. Only those who managed to purify their bloodline would manage to form a Beast Core, and when that happened they gain a Bloodline Inheritance. This bloodline inheritance differ greatly in quality and scope between species, but even the worst ones are a full kit of both skills and a cultivation method that suit their kind. Though apparently, beasts with extremely pure bloodlines can awaken such an inheritance much sooner, some even from birth. The bloodline evolution alone give them a tremendous surge in power, and forming a Beast Core award them with a shocking amount of energy, and energy reserves are already one of the things they surpass cultivators at. With the inheritance itself, they suddenly gain ways to make use of those almost endless stores of Cosmic Energy with skills and to empower those skills with cultivation manuals.

That was why the difference in power between cultivators and beasts was pretty much removed at the D-grade. In fact, the average cultivator was slightly disadvantaged in raw power. **Chapter 729**

Only a few extremely rare beasts are worth any real money, for example beasts who have extremely pure bloodlines that make them far stronger than normal beasts of their grade. However, those kinds of beasts are as rare as valuable herbs, and fighting them is like fighting a peak genius cultivator. **Chapter 677**

## Atavism

Humanoid beasts are extremely rare. They normally move away from the heritage of the Beast Progenitor to instead become integrated as cultivators over the eons. An example - imps of Azh’Kir’Khat Horde.

Humanoid beasts often have superior affinities to most normal beasts since their bodies are made for cultivation. It is often a bestial bloodthirst that overpowers any burgeoning sapience that keeps them as beasts though. It is almost impossible for them to reach **Atavism**, the process where high-grade beasts can keep their bestial path but also take humanoid form and embark on the path of cultivation. The few who manage to transform are all terrifying powerhouses that small sectors like Zecia can't contain. **Chapter 679**

	+ B grade

## Leveling

* Then again, beasts required far more time and energy to gain levels, and stronger bloodlines demanded even more. **Chapter 1,189**
* An ancient beast like Esmeralda had to require terrifying amounts of time and effort to advance, possibly to the point her Early D-grade levels needed as much energy as Zac did in Middle D-grade. **Chapter 1,189**
