Normal Monster Beast are ranked from 1st to 9th rank and are sub divided into four stages


    Initial Phase\u003e\u003eMiddle Phase\u003e\u003eLate Phase\u003e\u003eFinal Phase


    If a Monster Beast surpasses the 9th rank then they can become a Spirit Beast


    Monster Beast\u003e\u003eSpirit Beast


    Spirit Beasts are divided into 7 main stages:


    Monster Soldier\u003e\u003eMonster Elite\u003e\u003eMonster General\u003e\u003eMonster King\u003e\u003eMonster Emperor\u003e\u003eMonster Venerable\u003e\u003e((Calamity Lord))


    All these main stages are divided into 4 sub stages:


    Early\u003e\u003eMiddle\u003e\u003eLate\u003e\u003ePeak


    The higher rank they reach the higher Intelligence they will posses, It is not too rare for a spirit beast to posses high intelligence which is enough to talk like humans


    After one reaches Calamity Lord they can cultivate like other cultivators and their cultivation stage will be same as others but they will not have to start from zero their initial cultivation stage will be Sky Body Formation Stage


    The strength comparison of Monster Beast, Spirit Beast and others is like that


    9th rank Monster Beast''s strength is approximately equal to the strength Dao Comprehension Stage cultivators


    Spirit Beast strength levels:-


    Monster Soldier = Human Venerable Stage


    Monster Elite = Earth Venerable Stage


    Monster General = Heaven Venerable Stage


    Monster King = Core Forming Stage


    Monster Emperor = Golden Core Stage


    Monster Venerable = Core Breaking Stage


    Calamity Lord = Sky Body Formation Stage


    The comparison above is when an average monster beast meets a genius cultivator of the equal cultivation stage and if the cultivator is also average then the monster beast have high chances to win


    For example if an average Monster King meets an average Core Forming Stage cultivator then the Spirit Beast can easily win the battle because of their tough physique they have the advantage in battle


    Once a Spirit Beast reaches Calamity Lord stage they can transform into a humanoid form

    Beast Race or Demi-Human Race looks similar to Monster Race but they are different


    Beast Race or Demi-Human:


    In Beast Race the newborn baby is like a human baby with some features resembling a monster beast like having animal like ears, tail, eyes.. etc and as their strength rises they becomes capable of hiding these distinctive features and can completely look like humans


    But with training they can also transform in a humanoid beast form which can increase their battle strength by a lot


    Monster Race:


    Genetically Monster beast and Spirit Beast are both type of monster race whether when they have low intelligence or high intelligence


    But the Monster Beast and spirit beast that are born with high intelligence does not accept monster beast or spirit beast with low intelligence as their own


    If a Monster Beast gains high intelligence or born with it then its decedents will also have high intelligence than usual


    For example the descendants of a Calamity Lord will always have high intelligence even when they do not have humanoid form because of their weak cultivation base


    In the end Monster Race consists of Monster Beast and Spirit Beast with high intelligence


    Note: The biggest difference between Monster Race and Beast Race or Demi-Human is Monster Race have monster core to cultivate while Beast Race or Demi-Human Race have dantian to cultivate


    Note; Many from Monster Race looks similar to Beast Race or Demi-Human Race because of their humanoid form
