Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

This stage, purely tests the will!

"Trial Taker."

That deep, authoritative voice sounded, "The second trial will begin in thirty seconds. Please try to walk to the end along the mental staircase."

Lin Qing didn't hesitate and immediately started ascending the spiral staircase.

In this weightless environment, climbing the stairs was easy; the hard part was resisting the mental pressure from each level of the staircase. However, this trial was not dangerous.

It only tested the will.

Crucially, this mental staircase was actually endless; it was an illusion of the mind. One had to endure to the limits of their will to see the end.

But if one never saw the end, the will might waver.

Knowing the answer beforehand made this trial a bit easier.

Moreover, with his will, this challenge was not difficult.

Twenty minutes later.

Lin Qing finally felt the limit of what his mind could bear and saw the end of the mental staircase.

He passed the second trial easily.

After a moment of disorientation, Lin Qing found himself below a huge platform, with a golden mask appearing on his face, and the platform stained with blood, exuding a strong smell of blood.

Around the platform, many floating devices could be seen, apparently filming?

"Is this... Blood Battle City?"

Lin Qing immediately recognized the place of this trial.

Earth also had its Blood Battle City.

It is said that every life planet has a Blood Battle City, an event set up by a truly great supercivilization in the cosmic starry sky.

Blood Battle City, understood as an octagonal cage battle to the death.

Any life sold to Blood Battle City, whether an ordinary being, a cosmic citizen, or any significant figure…

Before truly gaining freedom, there are only two ways to die:

Being killed on the Blood Battle Platform.

Or dying of old age.

It is said that in the universe, many who have angered powerful forces and have no way out would sell themselves to Blood Battle City to gamble for a slim chance of survival.

In Blood Battle City, there is at least one death battle between awakened beings every day. To gain freedom, one must survive for a hundred years in their planet's Blood Battle City and kill all the other awakened beings there.

— This is the rule of Blood Battle City.

Earth's Blood Battle City, not yet aligned with extraterrestrial civilization, thus only receives awakened beings.

It is said that once integrated into the starry sky, after expanding Blood Battle City will begin to accept original beings.

The death battles of original beings occur once a month. They must survive in Blood Battle City for a thousand years, and except for their planet's Blood Battle City, kill all original beings from ninety-nine other equally ranked planets to obtain freedom.

Lin Qing had also patrolled Earth's Blood Battle City, mostly filled with background-less outer space smugglers who didn't want to be eradicated by Intelligent Star Group.

These smugglers were merely using the shelter of Blood Battle City to barely survive.

Even if Earth's awakened beings were few, insufficient for a monthly death battle, Blood Battle City would transport newcomers from other planets.

"This is not Earth…"

Lin Qing spread out his telekinesis, probing the surroundings, and soon noticed in the rest area opposite the Blood Battle Platform, a tall man with a unicorn jumped onto the platform.

That unicorn man, with a height nearing two and a half meters, exuded an extremely fierce aura, his gaze deadly cold.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Monto Star's Blood Battle City!"

Suddenly, a voice similar to a commentator rang out: "This is Cares' 172nd year in Blood Battle City. Over these years, he has continuously challenged and killed one opponent after another. Now in the whole Monto Star Blood Battle City, there are only the awakened being Cares on the platform, and this mysterious newcomer transported from another planet!"

"If Cares defeats this mysterious newcomer, he will gain freedom!"

The commentator exclaimed with passion, "Next, let us witness together!"

Though Lin Qing did not understand the language of the commentary, the Divine Position Trial naturally let him comprehend the meaning of these words.

He suddenly understood his current situation.

"Divine Position Trial, directly involved me in another planet's Blood Battle City death battle?"

Although he had long known the Divine Vocation Forbidden Zone was mysterious, he didn't expect it could go this far?

Where exactly was Monto Star?

"Trial Taker."

Suddenly, that deep voice from the Divine Position Trial sounded: "Kill your opponent to complete the final trial."

It seemed only Lin Qing could hear this voice; the man on the Blood Battle Platform showed no reaction.

Lin Qing took a deep breath, not daring to be careless.

The strongest in a planet's Blood Battle City?

If it were an extremely evolutionary advanced and mature planet, being able to survive for a hundred years on a planet's Blood Battle Platform and also kill all other awakened beings indicated a dreadfully formidable strength!

Lin Qing immediately activated his domain, gracefully flying onto the Blood Battle Platform.

The entire platform was about one kilometer in diameter, located under a gravity a thousand times that of normal, enough for awakened beings to battle.

The unicorn man watched Lin Qing with a cold gaze, brimming with murderous intent.

[Current Order Level has dropped by 5.7 levels]

"5.7 levels?"

Lin Qing instantly realized that everything in front of him was real, not virtual space!

There would be no Order Level drop in virtual space!

"The blood battle begins! It ends when one side dies!"
