Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1080 The Commercialized Bloodbath Secret Realm
Tianjian looked at his earnest sword strike, which was actually blocked by the man in front of him with just one finger, and couldn't help but show the shock in his eyes.

He knew the name of the Prisoner because in this world, space is not subject to confidentiality regulations, and information between different spaces can be exchanged briefly. By using reconnaissance skills, he could distinguish whether the other party was a native or a space dweller.

In other words, he had actually seen through Lu Li's overall attributes, and since they were similar, he shouldn't be at a disadvantage in terms of numerical values.

But the truth is, his sword thrust, brimming with sword intent, was actually blocked by Lu Li's finger. For a moment, a sense of humiliation and shock almost overwhelmed his brain.

Faced with Lu Li's tilted head and questioning, Tian Jian subconsciously stepped back, and the onlookers around also looked at Lu Li with surprise and uncertainty.

"I thought this place would be really exciting before I came. I hope it won't be boring right away."

Seeing Tianjian retreat, Lu Li didn't stop him. He just stood there and stretched his shoulders, his gaze sweeping across the entire area, not just targeting Tianjian. "I'm in a hurry, you can all come at me together."

In an instant, the faces of the geniuses present turned ugly. Although the rules of the Blood Killing Secret Realm stipulate that there can only be one winner in each area, most people still adhere to the principle of one-on-one when they fight.

It wasn't that they didn't understand how to launch a sneak attack or a siege; the main reason was that they knew the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm was being broadcast and watched by various forces on the Divine Martial Continent. Most of these people were quite concerned about their reputation and didn't want to use too much scheming to win.

But at this moment, Lu Li took the initiative to provoke everyone, causing the dozens of young people who had gathered to attack together, which really made everyone unable to tolerate it.

"Insanity!"

"What do you think this place is!? Do you think we're like the people in those small worlds!?"

"However, even the Heavenly Sword couldn't do anything to him. This person does have some skill, and he might be comparable to the senior brothers of the 'Extreme Path' sects."

"You're joking. He's just a visitor from another dimension. How can he be compared to those senior brothers and sisters?"

"..."

The young people at the scene were furious, and some of them began to secretly compare Lu Li's strength with that of the top geniuses of their world.

Lu Li also heard the noisy conversation of these people, and some of their words caught his attention, making the words 'Extreme Path' a memorized memory.

"Demon Prisoner, take this!"

At this moment, the enraged Heavenly Sword attacked again, and with a display of martial virtue, shouted first.

Lu Li simply dodged the Heavenly Sword's edge with a light movement, while simultaneously drawing the Demon Slayer sword from his waist. The blade flashed and disappeared in an instant, and he had already sheathed it as they passed each other.

Tianjian staggered forward a few steps, then turned back to look at Lu Li with a complicated expression, "So that's how it is..."

He was shocked by the vast difference in their abilities. He had chosen to come to this world because he felt he was strong enough to handle various situations, but he was turned away at the very first step of the invitation process.

If he had known this would happen, he probably should have chosen to go to World Zero.

"You're just unlucky."

Lu Li said something, watching the Heavenly Sword being harvested with its last breath by the Soul Eater and the Demonic Fiend. He didn't know if the punishment in the other party's mission was annihilation, but he had to complete his starting mission.

He didn't intend to humiliate Tianjian any further, mainly because he felt that this guy had quite a bit of martial virtue. If he wouldn't be eliminated if the mission failed, Tianjian still had room to grow.

"Alright, although it seems you're not planning to attack together, I'm not going to kill you one by one."

Lu Li's gaze shifted to the local young people. As he spoke, his aura began to emanate outwards, with a strong Conqueror's Haki combined with the terrifying aura of the Evil God Mask spreading outwards.

In an instant, due to the combined effects of multiple passive abilities and gems, everyone present was stunned. A momentary loss of composure resulted in damage to their very souls.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li strode into the distance, with figures falling one after another behind him.

He didn't even glance at the people who were falling down. He simply walked towards the place where he sensed there were still many people gathered. After he took three steps, everyone on the scene was dead, their bodies turning into specks of light and disappearing.

This phenomenon stunned those watching from outside. No one expected that a visitor from the End Space could kill dozens of geniuses in the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm without even raising a hand, simply by using his aura.

Suddenly, the Bloodbath Secret Realm Tournament, which originally had low viewership, attracted more attention. Many people who didn't watch the show before switched to the rebroadcast channel to watch the situation in District 9.

Within half an hour, the news had spread throughout the Divine Martial Continent. Many young people from various sects were watching the ninth district of the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm, wondering if anyone could defeat the Imprisoned Demon.

The young people of Shenwu Continent were already used to visitors from space descending upon their continent. However, in their impression, the level of these visitors was generally not very high, and they were only capable of bullying disciples from second-rate sects.

However, if visitors from outside the space encounter disciples of top-tier sects or even super-top-tier sects on their continent, they will find it difficult or even impossible to defeat.

The Blood Slaughter Realm was originally a place used to punish prisoners in the Divine Martial Continent. Legend has it that it was first created by the Abyss, and the great figures of the Abyss cast wicked beings into the Blood Slaughter Realm, making them fight endlessly inside.

In the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm, people cannot die, but this is not a reward; rather, it is to make those living beings suffer eternal torment and slaughter within it.

To motivate them to fight, the legendary figures in the abyss set a rule: the Blood Slaughter Realm would reset every three days, resurrecting all the creatures that died there. However, if someone could kill all their opponents in the Blood Slaughter Realm within the three-day reset period, they could regain their freedom.

Therefore, in pursuit of freedom, the creatures in the Bloodbath Realm are perpetually engaged in slaughter, fighting each other in an attempt to eliminate all their enemies within a limited time and thus gain a second life.

In reality, since this rule was established, many years have passed, and very few people have been able to regain their freedom from the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm. This is because the Abyss Clan set the rule to divide the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm into districts, and the cultivation levels of the prisoners in each district are similar, making it extremely difficult to stand out from the crowd.

Moreover, people are selfish. Many prisoners, after realizing that they cannot be the final winner, will try to hide. In the end, even if some strong people are extremely powerful and have the ability to defeat all the remaining opponents, they cannot find anyone and can only wait until the three days are over to reset.

Therefore, over the long years, only a few hundred people have emerged from the true Blood Killing Secret Realm.

In modern times, the Bloodbath Secret Realm has long been abolished and has become a form of entertainment for the general public.

Initially, Tianyuan, one of the most powerful immortal sects, was short of funds. One of its geniuses took a liking to the emerging immortal network live streaming and simply broadcasted their Blood Slaughter Secret Realm live.

The result was unexpectedly well-received, with extremely high viewership ratings and a large number of tips. Through these tips, product sales, and advertising fees, Tianyuan made a fortune.

It is said that the laws of our ancestors should not be abandoned. The actions of that steward originally caused strong dissatisfaction within Tianyuan, but they made a lot of money this time, which solved their urgent problem of insufficient funds.

After discussions among the higher-ups, they lit an incense stick, but received no response even after it burned out. They then concluded that their ancestors had approved of their actions.

After that, Tianyuan began to let loose and promoted the live broadcast of the Blood Killing Secret Realm. With this, Tianyuan emerged from his slump and once again became a powerful figure in the Extreme Dao Immortal Sect.

But people's novelty wears off quickly. Before a century had passed, everyone started to get tired of the live streams of the Bloodbath Secret Realm. So some people suggested that these prisoners were all the same and hadn't changed in over a hundred years.

In reality, because the prisoners are all very cautious, even if they can't get out themselves, they don't want others to step on them to get out. So when it comes to the final round, everyone hides, and there's no fun to be had.

Tianyuan used to offer many gambling-related activities, such as betting on which prisoner would survive to the final round. Now, not many people are willing to place bets anymore, because after watching for a hundred years, everyone knows in their hearts who is stronger and who is weaker among these prisoners.

Basically, the people who make it to the top ten are the same ones, it's all the same, so who would be willing to place a bet?

In a short time, Tianyuan's Blood Kill Secret Realm live stream business profits plummeted. Finally, a viewer suggested that just watching wasn't interesting enough, so why not let us go in and play?

The young man's idea caused dissatisfaction among many people within Tianyuan, because some old-fashioned people believed that the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm was originally a place to punish criminals, and that broadcasting it live was already a violation of the ancestral rules. If it were opened up according to the young man's suggestion, wouldn't that turn the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm into a complete entertainment project?

However, the competition among sects in the Divine Martial Continent is fierce. Although Tianyuan is a top-tier power, it has never been very popular and is often sanctioned by multiple extreme immortal sects. Once they lose the income from live streaming, they will be even more distressed.

After a fierce internal struggle, Tianyuan finally made a decision that went against the wishes of his ancestors.

The Bloodbath Secret Realm will be opened on a pilot basis, allowing interested young people from the Divine Martial Continent to sign up for a Bloodbath competition, which will be broadcast live across the entire continent.

The experimental live stream went viral, attracting attention across mainland China and receiving high praise from young people who found it incredibly fun.

It allows you to test your training results by fighting against many peers of similar strength, without worrying about actually dying inside. And if you can survive to the end and successfully "win", the sense of accomplishment is indescribable.

The young man who won the first PUBG game became a popular celebrity in mainland China, and was welcomed by his fellow disciples in his sect, which inspired more and more people to participate.

Seeing how booming the business was, Tianyuan immediately forgot about the ancestral methods and even executed all the prisoners originally held in the Blood Kill Secret Realm in order to make room for the business.

As a result, the Bloodbath Secret Realm, originally intended to torture heinous criminals, has become a playground for young people to play PUBG.

The Blood Slaughter Secret Realm has a total of 40 zones. In terms of spatial classification, each zone is divided into zones with a combined attribute of 290 to 330 points.

Before entering the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm, the basic cultivation level of the entrant will be tested, and then they will be assigned to a default zone. People in that zone will have roughly the same basic cultivation level.

Originally, for this first experimental live stream, Tianyuan was still recruiting volunteers to participate in the competition, and they only earned some profits from the live stream.

However, as the project became popular, the Blood Kill Secret Realm quickly became insufficient, and eventually, an entrance fee was required to enter the Blood Kill Secret Realm.

Young people jokingly refer to the entrance fee as a game ticket. Playing a game is not a small amount for many young people, but people still flock to the Blood Kill Secret Realm.

The reason is that the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm is of great significance to many people, both from an entertainment perspective and from the perspective of actual cultivation.

After all, it is said that the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm was originally created by an unparalleled forbidden master, and the laws contained within it are unfathomable. Even if extremely powerful experts fight inside, they will not truly die. This kind of place where one can go all out to test their cultivation path is simply fantastic for everyone.

Today, the Bloodbath Secret Realm has become more versatile and is quite mature in terms of commercialization.

For example, the first stop for people receiving visitors is often the Bloodbath Secret Realm.

The reason is simple: doing this would make it easy for the people of the Divine Martial Continent to know the basic strength of this foreign space traveler, and it would also prevent any possibility of him sneaking into the country.

Moreover, to emerge from the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm, one must inevitably engage in combat with the local players. This allows the martial-minded inhabitants of the Divine Martial Continent to ascertain the average level of the space, as well as their own level.

Since Blood Slaughter Secret Realm became an entry checkpoint for explorers, half of the space's visitors have been directly deported during the entry check.

Some people, even if they manage to win the game and enter the country first, do so by a narrow margin. Although they may be highly regarded by many young people after entering the country, they may not necessarily attract the attention of important figures.

After all, the Blood Killing Secret Realm has become a commercialized and entertainment-oriented model. The young people who go there to play vary greatly in strength. Even champions from the same region can have vastly different strengths depending on the batch of participants.

But today is different. The program, which had seen a decline in viewership due to the regular live streams of the Blood Kill Secret Realm, has once again attracted a lot of attention today. This is because people have heard that a visitor from another dimension has killed many young masters from the Divine Martial Continent with his sheer aura without even making a move.
