Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

The moment the Endless Sea of Blood emerged, the entire Celestial Secret City was engulfed in a deathly silence.

A massive expanse of blood evil qi, almost tangible, spread out, completely enveloping the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon Slaying Array, turning it all into a dark red scene.

The Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivators standing on the array nodes were horrified to discover that the intensely concentrated blood evil qi was actually eroding the array’s body, which was originally meant to suppress it!

Within the blood evil qi, there was a sliver of something indescribable and elusive, making contact with the array, continuously emitting a hair-raising ”chi chi” sound!

That strong negative power, as if it wanted to infect everyone, carried an extreme coldness.

The psychological sensation had already manifested into reality; the temperature within the remains of the grand auction hall had rapidly plummeted below freezing and was still continuously dropping.

Red and black mist spread out, and the Nascent Soul cultivators supporting the array as key nodes were all in utter shock.

They either ignited their Pill Fire, erected a spiritual power shield, activated their protective magical robes and artifacts, or directly consumed elixirs.

This subtle spiritual erosion was more terrifying than anything.

If one’s pure spiritual power became contaminated, or if the blood evil entered their body, at best their cultivation would regress, at worst they would enter the demon.

In severe cases, one’s dantian could even be eroded, their Dao path potentially cut off, leaving them with no hope for the Great Dao in this lifetime.

”What a terrifying blood evil qi... This... This is a Sea of Blood!”

Grass and Wood Pill Venerable showed a trace of fear, a slight tremble in his deep voice.

”So vast and concentrated, the area has reached such an astonishing level... The slaughter caused by this person far surpasses that of the Blood River Demon Venerable countless times over...”

”The Blood River Demon Venerable forged the Blood River, slaughtering millions to achieve it. Such a Sea of Blood, wouldn’t it require tens of millions of lives?”

The Infinite Sword Venerable stood with his sword, his aged face stern, his gaze filled with absolute hatred and killing intent.

”This person is truly a demon of the world!”

”Amitabha Buddha...”

Void Buddha Venerable remained as calm and composed as before.

His hands rotated the Buddhist beads, merit golden light shone like a blazing sun lighthouse, illuminating the earth.

”In the little world destroyed earlier by Donor Tyrannosaurus, the number of living beings already exceeded a hundred million, even if they were all demons or alien races, it’s quite terrifying. But what’s more terrifying is... he already had this Sea of Blood before destroying the Celestial Fire Demon God’s little world...”

”Master, how do you know this?” inquired a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

”Amitabha Buddha... Condensing evil into a river is not the work of a day, much less such a Sea of Blood?”

Void Buddha Venerable’s eyes lowered, seemingly as though a Bodhisattva closing its eyes.

”I have pursued the Blood River Demon Venerable for hundreds of years. If anyone claims to understand blood evil qi, this old monk dares not boast.”

”But if it’s just the top three, this old monk still has confidence. To condense a Sea of Blood akin to that of Donor Tyrannosaurus, at the very least, ten billion souls are required.”

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Wenwu, his gaze devoid of sadness or joy.

”Donor, I wonder if what the monk says is accurate?”

”Ten billion!?”

”Are you kidding?”

”Master, doesn’t a monk abstain from speaking falsehoods!”

The present late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivators were all momentarily stunned.

What does ten billion souls mean in the Cultivation Realm?

Even though the Cultivation Realm is countless times larger than Blue Star, and has Spiritual Qi beneficial for strengthening the body, cultivators sometimes use magic to alter the weather and seasons for the people around their sect to increase yields.

In essence, living standards are still stuck in ancient times, not much stronger than the prosperous yam era’s Qing Dynasty.

It would take a territory area of nearly three million square kilometers to potentially birth ten billion people!

And these three million square kilometers must be like ancient Huaxia, with vast expanses suitable for living and farming, without Cultivation Sects claiming land.

Only then could it barely be possible.

If you count the population of the Cultivation Realm, you’d need to annihilate over ten Mortal Realms to achieve such a feat.

So, it’s really not about the late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivators being inexperienced or ignorant.

If the Demonic Dao secretly cultivated a late-stage Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable, that might barely be possible.

But a blood sacrifice of ten billion to condense a Sea of Blood, that’s something absolutely impossible!

Do you think the Immortal Dao Alliance is so naïve as to have no undercover agents in the Demonic Dao?

This kind of large-scale event cannot be concealed!

Unless the Demonic Dao managed to gather over ten little worlds akin to the Celestial Fire Mini World for Lu Wenwu to rampage through.

But then again, here’s the problem.

Even the Immortal Dao Alliance can’t achieve such a level of resource integration, let alone consolidate ten little worlds with large indigenous populations, so why could the Demonic Dao?

Don’t joke.

If the Demonic Dao had such resources, abilities, and courage, the Blood River Demon Venerable would have ascended long ago!

We in the Immortal Dao Alliance might as well abandon hope and wait for our demise.

The few late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivators exchanged glances, all feeling something seemed amiss in this matter.

So...

Is there some misunderstanding here?

What they didn’t know was, Void Buddha Venerable had left unsaid a half-sentence yet.

This was merely part of what Lu Wenwu had showcased, with an even larger karmic force yet to be unleashed!

Just as Saint Venerable Heng Ru wanted to say something, Infinite Sword Venerable spoke: ”Whatever the reason, he killed my martial nephew, killed Destiny True Venerable, and killed Celestial Star Child in front of everyone in Celestial Star City.”

Saint Venerable Heng Ru retorted, ”But he also killed Yellow Springs Ascendant and a Demon King. According to Celestial Star City cultivators, if it weren’t for the intervention of Violent Dragon Demon Venerable, the beast tide would have breached Celestial Star City before Destiny True Venerable arrived; how do you explain that?”
