Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Would you rather struggle in the mire with an unknown lifespan, or be kept as livestock by aliens, living comfortably until you’re hauled off to be slaughtered for food around forty or fifty?

It’s hard to say.

Lu Wenwu could not use his own mindset to empathize with the thoughts of the locals.

He chose to skip it and turned to the demon cultivators to discuss other issues, talking about the use of Blood Evil.

At the mention of this, Blood River Demon Venerable immediately perked up.

He said proudly, ”Fellow Daoist, you came to the right person. This Blood River of mine was formed by condensing the resentful souls and Blood Evil Qi of a million people, and later supplemented by the lives of four or five million creatures to reach its current size.”

”In a one-on-one situation, when I unleash my Blood River, aside from the Sour Scholar and that bald monk in the Immortal Dao Alliance, all other righteous cultivators are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs, not worth mentioning. Even Infinite Sword Venerable, that old fool, barely counts as half.”

”Are you saying you’ve killed over five million creatures?” Lu Wenwu asked while stroking a dog’s head.

Blood River Demon Venerable’s face lit up, nodding with a smile, ”Indeed, indeed.”

The rest of the Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators looked at this long-renowned demonic giant with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

They too wished to slaughter a million creatures in one swoop.

But in the current environment, it takes time to slowly build up.

To slaughter more than five million, like Blood River Demon Venerable, seemed impossibly difficult.

Many of them didn’t even have a million lives in their hands.

”Not bad,” Lu Wenwu nodded slightly, ”And yesterday?”

Blood River Demon Venerable: ”?”

The demon cultivators: ”???”

Blood River Demon Venerable, confused, hesitated for a moment before asking, ”Fellow Daoist, I’m not sure what you mean by ’yesterday’...”

”Just as it sounds,” Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow, ”Don’t tell me you’re saying that since the beginning of your cultivation, you’ve only killed five million creatures?”

Blood River Demon Venerable: ”???”

Well, isn’t that impressive enough?

I’m already at the top of the demonic kill rankings, isn’t that enough?

Many Ancient Demon Cultivators haven’t even killed as many as I have!

”Too weak, no wonder you get beaten by Saint Venerable Heng Ru and Void Buddha Venerable,” Lu Wenwu shook his head in disappointment.

Five million, too few.

Blood River, too weak.

When my Endless Sea of Blood emerges, even doing nothing forces Void Buddha Venerable and Saint Venerable Heng Ru to use their own cultivation to protect themselves, unable to counter or attack.

This quantity, the lives destroyed in my casual demolition of a Celestial Fire Mini World, surpass those Blood River Demon Venerable has killed in his lifetime.

Probably just under two billion.

Even excluding the 800-plus resets by Reincarnation Apostle in Endless Reincarnation, the kill count in Lu Wenwu’s hands is around tens of billions.

If counted...

It’s simply incalculable!

Lu Wenwu wasn’t aware, this could be considered a kind of bug.

Blood Evil Qi and Killing Intent are traits that naturally appear after killing life, accumulating within the soul, building almost like muscle memory.

Even the time reset by Reincarnation Apostle cannot erase it.

Only Space-Time Demon God genuinely retracing time might achieve that.

Thus, the Blood Evil Qi on Lu Wenwu was, to be precise, cultivated from repeatedly slaughtering a world over 800 times.

Conservatively estimated, trillions!

If not for each time Lu Wenwu achieving a ’miracle save the world’ evaluation, accumulating immeasurable terrifying Merit Power, his soul would have long been crushed by such a massive amount of Blood Evil Qi.

Even Influence Body Refining Skill couldn’t restore it!

Did you really think something like Karma Scale, a top-tier Immortal Artifact in myth and legend, could be wielded by just anyone?

If Lu Wenwu took a stroll through the Egyptian Netherworld, even Anubis would stumble at the sheer weight of the heart laden with blood debts.

Did you really think the ’endless’ in Endless Sea of Blood was just a term?

Unaware of this matter, Blood River Demon Venerable felt uneasy.

After so many years of demonic cultivation, he’s developed an almost terrifying sensitivity to numbers.

He could not believe anyone in this world could have a higher kill-death ratio than his.

Lu Wenwu said nothing.

He merely chuckled lightly, revealing an iceberg tip of the Endless Sea of Blood.

Instantly, the entire Blood Refining Demon City was engulfed in a sea of blood.

The thick Blood Evil Qi crazily invaded, instantly evoking the purest evil in the minds of countless demon cultivators.

To righteous cultivators, Blood Evil Qi is not as deadly as it is to demonic ones.

They never once restrained their inner selves, leaving everything to be unleashed without reservation.

At this moment, the endless sea of blood was like a giant torch lighting up a gunpowder warehouse, instantly igniting countless demon cultivators!

Five seconds later, the blood sea phenomenon vanished.

In Blood Refining Demon City, nearly one-fifth of the demon cultivators had fallen, and almost half were injured.

Some died from slaughter, some from losing control and entering the demon state, and some from their cultivation techniques going awry.

Of course, there were also genius demon cultivators who, riding the East Wind of the endless sea of blood, gained insight into the opportunity for advancement and stepped into a new stage.

The Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators were all shocked, digesting the massive influx of information they had just received.

But Blood River Demon Venerable, known as the most insightful person regarding Blood Evil Qi in this era, looked at Lu Wenwu with utter horror, cold sweat pouring down his forehead!

Other demon cultivators didn’t understand, weren’t clear on what this meant; they only knew the opponent’s Blood Evil Qi was immensely strong, indicating profound power.

But he understood!

This was the sea of blood!

A sea of blood so immense it was beyond limits!

In the estimation of Blood River Demon Venerable, at least a billion lives had to be slain for his blood river to have even a slight chance to transform into a sea of blood.

In the previous battle reports, it was stated that Violent Dragon Demon Venerable would release a blood mist with strong erosion power in battles, covering an area at least a hundred miles wide.

Once caught within, it was easy to trigger the heart demon, drastically reducing combat efficacy.

Now Blood River Demon Venerable finally understood.

This was no technique!

This was just the adverse effect brought by the accumulation of Blood Evil Qi!

His blood river had the same effect.

But compared to the sea of blood Lu Wenwu unleashed, his blood river was as different as a firefly to the bright moon!

The mere aura that leaked out was enough to cause chaos in Blood Refining Demon City!

He couldn’t catch up to this even if he tried!

How much blood did the opponent have at their disposal?

Billions?

Over one hundred billion?

Unbeknownst to him, the cold sweat had already soaked through Blood River Demon Venerable’s back, and his gaze was no longer relaxed as before.

As the strongest demon cultivator of this era, he could clearly perceive that behind this blood river lay an equally immense killing intent yet to be revealed.

This Violent Dragon Demon Venerable was indeed a monster in human skin!

A hundred billion souls!

Looking at Lu Wenwu’s smiling face, a ridiculously absurd idea suddenly emerged in Blood River Demon Venerable’s mind.

It was known that Violent Dragon Demon Venerable possessed pure dragon power and a pure dragon race bloodline, certified by both the Immortal Dao Alliance and the Demon Race.

Moreover, he had slaughtered at least a hundred billion souls; the endless sea of blood and immense killing intent couldn’t be a lie.

As the number one demon cultivator of this era, Blood River Demon Venerable trusted his judgment.

Before the grand auction at Celestial Secret City, the emperor of the dragon race changed, and the new emperor ascended the throne.

The True Dragon Emperor, whose combat power was unrivaled, effortlessly fought beyond his rank, and being invincible at the same level was a basic requirement.

Coincidentally, if there was a place to gather a hundred billion souls and allow someone to carry out slaughter without human or demon race cultivators knowing, it must be in the depths of the sea.

And the overwhelming financial resources covering the entire grand auction...

Considering all these conditions, the real identity of Violent Dragon Demon Venerable could very well be....

The contemporary Dragon Emperor!?

Blood River Demon Venerable’s pupils suddenly shrank to pin-sized dots, his lips trembling uncontrollably as he muttered.

He was frightened by his own speculation.

The Violent Dragon Demon Venerable was the contemporary Dragon Emperor?

An unprecedented, demon-cultivating dragon!

A True Dragon was already invincible at the same level by itself.

And now, coupled with unfettered demon cultivator methods, how strong could that be!?

At this moment, a heavy sense of dread arose in Blood River Demon Venerable’s heart.

The suspicion that Violent Dragon Demon Venerable was the contemporary Dragon Emperor spread like rampant weeds in his mind.

Absurd, yet infinitely close to the truth!

All clues and outcomes aligned perfectly!

Blood River Demon Venerable looked at Lu Wenwu, his gaze revealing an extremely complex expression.

There was now a pathetic wall of disparity between him and the other.

The Dragon Emperor, that is an ironclad assurance of ascension...
