Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 374 Suspending All Living Beings!

In an ancient town in the Great Chu Kingdom, the people's livelihood was devastated due to the war.

The once bustling market is now deserted, with people huddled in their homes, awaiting the outcome of the war.

In the alleyway at the street corner, a man dressed in tattered clothes huddled in a corner, crawling forward on his arms in a sorry state.

The man was covered in wounds, and his legs were twisted into a bizarre pretzel shape.

With each step forward, the scraping against the ground sent waves of excruciating pain through his lower limbs.

But the man's gaze did not waver in the face of pain.

Aside from the occasional furrowing of his brows due to the intense pain, his eyes were filled with devotion.

Every time he crawled a certain distance, he would chant something, and only by listening closely could one vaguely hear the faint sounds:
"In the beginning, before the chaos began, before heaven and earth were separated, before yin and yang were distinguished, there was only one god, whose spirit was bright and clear, and who was called Fang Can..."

His name is Tao Xuan, an unofficial follower of the "Heavenly Religion," and his deity is Fang Can!
He was an outsider because the core members of the Heavenly Cult had disappeared several months ago, so he naturally had no chance to join them.

He came because of his reputation, claiming to be a follower of Fang Can, and he was just waiting for the cult to reopen in the future so that he could officially join it.

Before that, he planned to preach first, spreading Fang Can's name throughout the land, so that more believers would be inspired by God.

Unfortunately, this was a time of war, a war between his god and various nations.

Therefore, it was only natural that he, a follower of Fang Can, was shunned by the town where he lived.

In abhorrent disregard for law and morality, his entire fortune was confiscated within just three days, and his body was beaten to this state by the rioting crowd. Now he is even worse off than a beggar on the street.

Not only him, but all believers of Fang Can in the martial arts world were targeted by a spontaneous witch hunt, resulting in countless deaths and injuries within a few days.

Tao Xuan, now chanting the "Supreme, Glorious, and Brilliant Divine Emperor Scripture," crawls forward on the ground, his eyes filled with resentment towards his current situation.

"God will surely protect me!" Tao Xuan firmly believed this.

As he prayed, the entire world seemed to respond to his expectations, and the sky darkened in an instant.

At the same time, a towering figure was reflected in his retina, its face exactly the same as when Bai Xiaosheng was doing his live stream before.

"A miracle... a divine intervention!" Tao Xuan shouted in his remaining voice.

At the same time, he heard cries of surprise from ordinary people all around him, which filled him with immense satisfaction. Indeed, his piety had been right!

Meanwhile, on the other side, a convoy was roaming through the wilderness.

The man in the black robe spread his hands and said loudly:
"Everyone, now that the miracle has been performed, we no longer need to hide. Let us follow God's will and spread our faith in the world."

"Praise be to God!" The believers made the corresponding gestures devoutly.

These believers were different from Tao Xuan.

Several days earlier, after receiving news of Fang Can's war, those believers who sensed something was amiss either went into hiding or voluntarily migrated away from the world.

Unlike Tao Xuan, they were not high-profile. Even though they had no martial arts skills, they did not encounter any large beasts attacking them along the way, which can be described as divine protection.

……

Fang Can witnessed the scenes unfolding in various countries, and was struck by the differences between people. His turn of fortune, besides protecting himself, would naturally also bring some good luck to his followers.

However, this kind of luck isn't enough to give everyone the protagonist's halo like Fang Can.

These believers, who are usually completely unrelated to each other, might at most sense danger on a whim and avoid it in time.

In this situation, it's still possible to make a modest living by relying on luck.

Several days earlier, some believers who sensed that the situation was not good suggested to Tao Xuan that they should leave first to preserve their strength so that they could better serve the gods.

But Tao Xuan regarded these words as disrespectful, and stubbornly stayed in the town, saying that his devout faith was not afraid of swords and spears!
Then, as if they had gotten what they wanted, they were treated like Jews and beaten up like this.

If it weren't for the protection of luck, which led him to occasionally encounter things like fruit and leftovers, he would have died long ago on the eve of a miracle.

Or rather, the fact that he was so stubborn and didn't get killed proves his piety and that he received more luck and protection than ordinary believers.

It's like how the Jews were able to survive in concentration camps, which is partly due to divine intervention!
……

Standing high in the sky, overlooking the maps of various countries, Fang Can's breath turned to thunder:

"From this day forward, I will be the only sun in the hearts of all beings!"

As he spoke, Fang Can's giant body broke through physical limits under the law of proliferation.

Billions of flesh and blood fibers grew wildly towards the sky like living star rings. Every tendon twisted and coiled in the vacuum, transforming into a biological membrane covering the orbit of the celestial canopy.

Subsequently, the people of the various countries opened their eyes and saw that Fang Can's flesh and blood had transformed into a vast dome as thin as a cicada's wing, covering the entire world.

From this day forward, Fang Can will use his own flesh and blood to form a fantastical version of a Dyson sphere that encompasses all nations.

The sunlight falling from the sky is absorbed and stored by Fang Can's Great Sun Undying Demon Body, and then steadily transmitted to the lower realm.

As the light in the sky was blocked, all the light was absorbed by Fang Can's body, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.

However, Tao Xuan did not feel frightened, because everything in front of him was completely consistent with the contents of the "Supreme, Glorious, and Brilliant Divine Emperor Scripture".

"God said, 'Let there be light!'" Tao Xuan murmured excitedly, his body trembling. He felt that everything before him was in accordance with what the Bible said.

The next moment, the Dyson sphere formed by Fang Can's blood cells began to steadily transmit sunlight downwards after absorbing it.

Then, the world plunged into darkness was restored to light in the next moment.

But when the beings looked up, they could not find the sun; they could only see the azure sky simulated by Fang Can's blood and the face of Fang Can inspecting the beings.

This miraculous scene directly broke through the defenses of most people.

Since a miracle has been performed, the whole world will feel the divine power!
The next moment, a magnificent voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "Those who offend the divine might! Die!"

Then, all living beings saw countless ropes descending from the sky and falling to the earth.

These are blood ropes made up of the capillaries of Fang Can's blood colony.

Amidst the panicked cries of the people, those blood-red ropes tightened around the necks of the people of every nation.

Yes! Every single one!
Before Tao Xuan could react, the blood rope tightened around his neck, and he was hoisted into the sky!
