IUD-Chapter 679 Returning to Reality

At present, it seems that Fang Li and Arcueid are evenly matched.

However, as time passes, the power of Fang Li's Stigma Skill is gradually putting a burden on his soul.

In other words, even with the seemingly "Cheating" power of Stigma, Fang Li is only able to fight Arcueid to a standstill.

"If this foolish woman could truly unleash her full power without restraint, I would probably be insta-killed in a split second."

Even with Stigma, the outcome would be the same.

Of course, even though Arcueid isn't in her prime right now, she still breaks the rules.

With the power at the extreme limit of the Third Rank, coupled with the ability of Marble Phantasm Manifestation, she is truly overwhelming.

Especially with Marble Phantasm Manifestation.

"If it's just the power at the extreme limit of the Third Rank then I can still manage it and maybe hold her back."

After all, after using Stigma, Fang Li's full power is equivalent to the Third Rank, as evidenced by his ability to hold his ground against Arcueid.

However, dealing with the Marble Phantasm Manifestation is indeed troublesome.

"Arcueid's speed is clearly far behind mine, but when I used the attack-speed-focused 'Senken - Nanayoru(Flashing Scabbard - Seven Nights),' she still managed to counter it in time."

That's because this world is a product of Arcueid's Marble Phantasm Manifestation. In this world, every move Fang Li makes is effectively under Arcueid's surveillance. Even if she can't keep up with his speed, she can adjust to compensate.

For example, Arcueid can increase the air resistance or gravity around Fang Li, slowing down his attacks and speed to some extent.

Similarly, Arcueid can reduce the air resistance and gravity around her own body, allowing her to keep up with Fang Li's movements.

Not only that, earlier, even though Arcueid's claw strike missed, the debris caused by her attack suddenly gathered into large boulders and shot violently toward Fang Li, launching a surprise attack.

And when Fang Li blocked the boulder projectiles, they exploded like bombs, almost engulfing him.

"Arcueid's Marble Phantasm Manifestation can even alter the laws of physics. Fighting her in this world, I have no chance of victory. At best, I can only hold out and desperately defend."

But once the time limit on Fang Li's Stigma is reached, there will be no turning back.

"So, I can't continue fighting in this world."

What should be done, then?

It's simple.

"A world manifested by sheer willpower?"

This world must be a very special place for Arcueid, right?

"But in the end, it's just something born out of fantasy."

While indulging in fantasy is a privilege for young girls, when that fantasy starts to inconvenience others, it becomes delusion and daydreaming.

"So, return to reality!"

How to do that?

As mentioned, it's very simple.

"All I have to do is kill this world!"

The waning moon dagger in Fang Li's hand suddenly disappeared.

Then, Fang Li switched from holding his sword with one hand to gripping it tightly with both hands, firmly grasping the hilt of Bo Xie.

In the next moment, with a bang, phosphorescent light and starlight once again surged from Fang Li's body, transforming into flames that slowly burned.

Immediately, the phosphorescent light and starlight flowed into Bo Xie, absorbed by its Urm Manadyte.

"Zing————!"

An unprecedentedly intense light burst forth from Bo Xie's Urm Manadyte.

"Buzz————!"

Bo Xie's sword edge began to tremble and gradually expanded.

Before long, Bo Xie transformed into a giant sword, which Fang Li lifted high.

This giant sword was no longer just a few hundred meters in size as before, but had expanded to several kilometers, resembling a towering mountain of swords, pointed straight at the sky.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——!"

Arcueid's scream grew increasingly frenzied.

This was the instinctive reaction to the sense of danger she felt.

In response, Arcueid also raised her arms high, causing the entire world to suddenly tremble.

The atmosphere began to roar, gathering towards Arcueid like waves upon waves.

Under such circumstances, the entire blood-red world truly began to shake. The ground continuously crumbled into the roaring atmosphere, gradually breaking apart, with countless rocks and debris swirling around Arcueid.

After a brief moment, an enormous stone storm suddenly formed around Arcueid.

"——Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——"

In a berserk shout, Arcueid forcefully swung down her raised arms, causing the stone storm to transform into a powerful tornado of destruction. Like a massive rock drill, it surged toward Fang Li.

Where the storm passed, space twisted and the ground shattered, as the rock-filled tornado, with astonishing destructive power, enveloped everything in its path.

"Buzz——! Buzz——!"

The atmosphere groaned in agony.

"Crack Crack Crack——!"

The ground fractured and broke apart, with large pieces of debris rising into the roaring tornado, enlarging it further as it shot violently toward Fang Li.

Fang Li had every reason to believe that if this stone storm manifested in the real world, it would be a disaster that no natural calamity could rival.

In the face of such power, a human seemed as insignificant as an ant.

If one were to be caught in it, they would be nothing more than a speck of dust.

The scale of power was incomparable.

Yet, Fang Li was unafraid.

"After all, it's just a single strike..."

Yes.

It was just a single strike.

Fang Li intended to destroy this entire world.

Compared to that scale, this terrifying storm before him was just as pitifully small.

So...

"In that case, I'll destroy it all together!"

At that moment, Fang Li's ice-blue mystic eyes revealed the Line of Death.

That line perfectly bisected the storm before him.

That line divided the heavens and earth.

That line disassembled everything in this world.

That line would become the fatal weak point, forcibly leading everything to a conclusion.

Thus, Fang Li clearly saw it.

He saw that single, largest, and longest line.

"Disappear!"

The massive sword, as vast as the sky, came crashing down.

"Pū Chī——!"

A tearing sound, like fabric being ripped apart, echoed through the world.

In that sound, the stone storm was severed.

In that sound, the ground below was cleaved.

In that sound, the blood-red sky was split.

In that sound, the space of this world was torn apart.

And with that, the world changed once more.
