Cultivation Realms:

.

1. Qi Condensation

There are a total of nine stages for this realm.

Qi Condensation realm cultivators are comparable to low-class to mid-class devils, depending on their stage.

During this stage, energy/Qi/essence/mana from the environment is gathered into the body, where it saturates into the flesh, bone, and viscera. The saturated energy is then converted into true Qi.

Very few martial skills are available for this realm, due to the chaotic nature of a Qi Condensation cultivator's true Qi.

The average lifespan is between 100 to 300 years.

.

2. Foundation Establishment

There are a total of nine stages for this realm.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are comparable to high-class devils.

During this stage, the cultivator constructs ley lines within the body. Ley lines are like meridians, they help with the circulation of true Qi as well as help organize the chaotic energies that saturate the body.

Martial skills are widely available for this realm. In addition, flight via flying sword becomes possible.

The average lifespan is between 600 to 1,500 years.

.

3. Core Formation

There are a total of nine stages for this realm.

Core Formation cultivators are comparable to Ultimate-class devils.

During this stage, a revolving core of true Qi forms somewhere within the cultivator's body. This true Qi acts as a massive reserve of energy. As a byproduct of this, cultivators of this realm will need a significantly greater amount of energy in order to advance.

This is the stage in which a Physique's unique attributes truly start to shine. For cultivators with physiques that make them 'late bloomers', this stage is comparable to a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

The average lifespan is between 3,000 to 7,500 years.

.

4. Nascent Soul

There are a total of nine stages for this realm.

Nascent Soul cultivators are comparable to characters like Azazel, Micheal, and the Satans.

During this stage, a miniature soul starts to form within the body. In addition, a Nascent Soul cultivator can exert their 'presence' onto the environment. This can knock out or outright kill weaker beings and greatly hamper stronger ones.

At this stage, destruction of the physical body does not mean true death. So long as the cultivator's soul survives, they can still live.

Soul techniques become available at this stage, but true mastery of the soul is not achieved until later realms.

The average lifespan is between 15,000 years to 40,000 years.

.

5. Soul Formation

There are a total of nine stages to this realm.

Soul Formation cultivators are comparable to Gods and Super Devils (such as Sirzechs).

During this stage, the miniature soul matures into an Avatar. Avatars are destructive pseudo-constructs that are often-times even stronger than their cultivators. The destruction of an Avatar will greatly damage a cultivator's cultivation base. Worst case scenario, a cultivator's entire cultivation can be crippled. As such, it is usually reserved for emergencies.

When not in combat, the Avatar can be used to assist in cultivation.

Soul techniques are once again the highlight of this stage.

The average lifespan is between 80,000 years to 200,000 years.

.

6. Void Treading

There are a total of nine stages for this realm.

Void Treading cultivators are comparable to beings such as the Heavenly Dragons, and Shiva.

During this stage, a void forms inside the cultivator. This void is comparable to the emptiness found before the birth of a universe. Cultivators can use their void space as storage spaces.

Spatial techniques are a mainstay for this realm.

The average lifespan is between 300,000 years and 500,000 years.

.

7. Nihility

There are a total of seven stages for this realm.

Nihility cultivators are comparable to the Biblical God of DxD.

This realm is characterized by the expansion of the mind.

Advancing through the stages is characterized by the creation of multiple strands of consciousness. The amount of strands that a cultivator can create per advancement is dependent on their own strength and prowess.

The average lifespan is between 600,000 years to 1,000,000 years.

.

8. Saint Sovereign

There are a total of four stages for this realm.

Saint Sovereign cultivators have no equal within the DxD verse.

This realm is characterized by the creation of an inner world within a cultivator's void space. The inner world is devoid of life.

The average lifespan is between 2 million and 5 million years.

.

9. Life Destruction

There are a total of three stages for this realm.

Life Destruction cultivators are comparable to beings such as Trihexa, Great Red, and maximum power Ophis.

This stage is characterized by rebirth. Cultivators of this stage destroy their body and soul, only for them to rebuild it later. A cultivator's original talent becomes meaningless, scars fade, mental demons vanish, and old injuries become obsolete.

Within a cultivator's void space, their inner world shatters, transforming into particles of dust that will spread and expand throughout the void.

The average lifespan is between 6 million to 15 million years.

.

10. Immortal Soul

There are a total of nine stages to this realm.

The particles of dust consolidate, forming celestial bodies. Stars, and asteroids, and planets form.

Lifespan becomes meaningless. Immortal Soul cultivators can live on in perpetuity.

.

11. True God

There are a total of thirteen stages to this realm.

Life begins to sprout within the various celestial bodies found within a cultivator's void space.

.

12. Supremacy
