Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 354 Nation War Dungeon and Belial
Inside a villa in the Interstellar Federation, the young man sat up from the soft bed.

Wang Linna scratched his head, feeling somewhat weary, and thought, "I'll continue practicing the 'Demon-Slaying Blood Body Technique' today."

Since it was confirmed that the power obtained from "Battle Between Two Realms" could be brought out, the entire Interstellar Federation was in an uproar.

Countless federal citizens want to enter the game, but unfortunately, there are far more applicants than available spots.

Over the past few months, only 5000 million players have been actively involved in it.

In order to gain greater power, almost 90% of these 5000 million players dedicate most of their day to it.

As the number of participants increases, their understanding of the game also grows daily, leading to the development of various specialized methods.

For example, the killing style, the monster-hunting style, the dual cultivation style, the pain style, the blood blade style, the faith style...

Wang Linna chose a playstyle published by a professional player, known as the "Painful Flow".

The Demon-Slaying Blood Body Technique being practiced at this time is a cultivation method that increases the speed of cultivation the more severe the injury.

After cutting himself into human form, gouging out his eyes, pulling out his tongue, and piercing his ears to sever his five senses, he can cultivate by gaining almost 30 experience points per hour.

Because players can block out pain and recover health extremely quickly, this training method is chosen by many players.

Since players won't suffer any physical harm after logging out of the game, the game might as well suffer a bit.

With multiple styles flourishing and progressing simultaneously, these players' levels are increasing rapidly at a visible pace.

Due to the early-stage upgrade method of dealing 999 damage in one hit, it only requires about 5 experience points to go from the first level of the Enlightenment Gate to the ninth level.

Now, more than three months have passed since the game started. Thanks to the players' hard work in leveling up, nearly 20 million players have successfully reached level nine and are about to undergo their first job change.

This has increased the number of martial artists on the path to heaven by dozens or even hundreds of times across all martial arts nations, which is akin to inflation.

But these players are very clear that the game only officially begins after they ascend the Heavenly Road.

This game is unlike other online games where the difference between each rebirth is almost like heaven and earth.

In terms of pure physical strength, a second-stage cultivator can easily dominate a first-stage cultivator, and wiping out an entire army of 10 first-stage cultivators in a single day would be a piece of cake.

"What a terrible game with ridiculously high stats," Wang Linna thought to himself, then logged into his usual player forum as per his daily routine.

But as soon as I logged in, I was drawn to the content above. The website, which I hadn't logged in for just one day, now had hundreds of thousands of game posts.

"I'm shocked, has the world exploded? There are so many posts." Wang Linna couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and then clicked on a post to understand what had happened.

The long-dormant game "Two Realms Conquest" has released a new announcement, launching a national war instance.

The player is automatically assigned a faction based on their capital city, which is divided into Allied Nations and United Nations.

The players from Dayan joined the Yixin Kingdom to collectively fight against the siege of other kingdoms.

Additionally, during nation wars, killing players from the opposing faction can also yield a large amount of experience.

'We're about to enter PVP mode,' Wang Linna thought to herself.

Once this announcement is released, players will start killing each other indiscriminately. The experience they've accumulated over months of meditation could be wiped out and they could be reduced to level zero.

……

On the palace floor, Fang Can crossed his arms and looked at the cluster of coffins and tombstones before him, then said to the rotten-living king beside him:
"What use do you have for my Great Shift of the Universe?" "The fourth-level cultivator from Lihentian that you captured is a fraud. The inheritance transformed by the Light of the Mind is far from the expected effect. I can use your Great Shift of the Universe to replace him." The Rotten King explained.

Fang Can nodded slightly, took off the white bracelet on his wrist and tossed it out: "I've memorized all the details. So, what are you planning to do with that 50-value first-rebirth player's body?"

"Of course, injecting memories one by one is too troublesome. It would be better to mass-produce them on an assembly line. I already have someone in mind." The King of Rotten Life couldn't help but smirk as he thought of a brilliant plan.

"Then I'll await your astonishing wisdom." Fang Can nodded calmly.
"As for the three four-turn bodies I gave you, it's best to use the souls of villains. The obsessions of the righteous are too strong, and the Soul Soothing Technique can't control their thoughts."

"Don't worry, I understand. They're all villains, right?" The King of Rotten Things smirked. "I've already sent them out."

"Send them out?" Fang Can was slightly taken aback. "Where to?"

“Those fourth-tier members all have their own will and can’t stay still, so I might as well just have them bring me back enough materials.”

"Whatever you say." Fang Can nodded gently after hearing this; he wouldn't interfere in these matters.

He started this war, and the cause and effect are directly linked to him.

The more fiercely each person struggles before they die, the more power he reaps, so he rejoices in the deaths of these people.

He benefits regardless of which side dies, so he doesn't need to care about the lives of those martial artists.

Moreover, Ji Donglai's debts need to be repaid, otherwise it would be terrible if he died due to debt collection efforts.

As a variety of thoughts flooded his mind, a hint of irritation flashed in Fang Can's eyes, and the anger that had been suppressed by the killings not long ago surged up again.

"You keep working hard here, I'm going to grab a four-star prize to vent my frustration." After saying this, Fang Can took a step and disappeared completely from the spot.

On the other side, in the Land of Blaze.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

A colossal figure, 55 meters tall, walked toward the Giant Mountain Super Power lineage, each step causing the surrounding area to tremble and shake.

The body was covered in what looked like a black and red leather suit, with a purple crystal embedded in its chest, orange-yellow eyes on its streamlined head, and claw-like arms.

In the distance, countless disciples of the Giant Mountain Super Power lineage floated in mid-air, looking solemnly at the giant before them.

"Which senior of my Super Overlord lineage are you?" a third-stage elder asked. "What brings you here in your transformed state?"

"This is what I originally looked like," the creature said in an extremely magnetic voice.

"I really dislike the name 'Land of Blaze,' it reminds me of some unpleasant memories."

"So...all of you must die!"

"Let you all know my name! You can call me—Belial!!!"

As he spoke, Belial crossed his claws, and crimson light rapidly condensed on his hands. Then, a crimson beam shot out from his palms.

Desium Ray!!!

Upon seeing the surging crimson light, the elders' expressions changed drastically, and in an instant, they transformed into countless giants to jointly resist the pillar of light filled with the aura of death.
