All along, it had been Fang Li's privilege to surpass his rank and challenge higher-tier opponents.

No, that's not quite right.

It should be said that it's generally possible for Primary Divine Envoys to challenge higher ranks when dealing with Plot Characters in Dungeon Worlds.

This is because primary Divine Envoys not only have class and title bonuses, but they also have various types of equipment that can improve them. Combined with certain attributes, they can reach a level that allows them to compete with higher-ranked Plot Characters.

In this way, although one must have excellent Classes and titles, and spend a large number of Exchange Points to equip top-quality gear, Fang Li always had these conditions. 

Therefore, in terms of Attributes alone, even when he was in the later stage of the Fifth Rank, he could compete with the Fourth Rank plot characters. Now that he is in the later stage of the Fourth Rank, he can compete with Third-Rank Plot Characters.

Since his Attributes have kept up and he has the abnormal Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, it's not surprising that he can surpass ranks in challenges.

So, even though he hasn't yet reached the Third Rank, Fang Li has often fought against Third Rank Plot Characters until now. Even in this world, when he faced someone like Nrvnqsr, a high-ranking Dead Apostle of the Twenty-seven Ancestors, he wasn't at a disadvantage.

Today, however, Fang Li finally encountered an entity that broke the rules even more than he did.

Marble Phantasm.

This ability is truly terrifying.

Such an ability can definitely grant its user the privilege of surpassing ranks in challenges.

What's more, even though Arcueid's power hasn't recovered to half of its peak, her strength is already enough to completely crush someone of Nrvnqsr's rank, who is ranked tenth among the Twenty-seven Ancestors, and undoubtedly has the strength of someone at the extreme limits of the Third Rank.

With such strength combined with such ability, the result is as expected.

"Cough, Cough..."

Once again, blood spurted from Fang Li's mouth.

"I've already strengthened my defense with Prana, yet I'm still suffering this much damage?"

Feeling the intense pain coursing through his entire body, Fang Li clutched his chest as he struggled to get up from the ground. His ice-blue Mystic Eyes stared intently upward, focusing on Arcueid's form.

"----Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh----"

Up there, Arcueid defied gravity as she floating directly in the air and screamed at the sky.

That berserk roar turned into heavy sound waves, sweeping through space like a storm, shaking the heavens and the earth, and even the endless sea of flowers, before finally colliding with Fang Li's body.

"Ugh...!"

The powerful sound waves made Fang Li feel like he was running against a fierce wind. He raised his hand once more to shield himself, his ears already ringing from the impact, but his gaze remained fixed on Arcueid.

His ice-blue Mystic Eyes were working at full capacity.

"Biri..."

A familiar tingling sensation surged through his mind as Fang Li's Mystic Eyes began to emit a faint glow.

Then, cracks like lines appeared in Fang Li's vision.

These lines were not only on Arcueid's body, they were also moving through every corner of this world.

In other words...

"Am I fighting the world itself?"

Fang Li spat out the blood in his mouth, his expression gradually becoming calm.

A pure white activation body silently slid into Fang Li's palm.

"Buzz----!"

With a trembling sound, the pure white Urm Manadyte emitted a radiant glow, transforming into a dazzling blade of light that extended from the activation body.

Holding the Moonlight Dagger in one hand and Bo Xie in the other, Fang Li gazed at Arcueid with his ice-blue Mystic Eyes and spoke loudly.

"Stupid girl! Are you really going to continue rampaging like this?"

"Have you forgotten what irreversible things you did in this state eight hundred years ago?!" Fang Li's voice caused Arcueid's berserk shouting in the air to suddenly stop.

Seeing this, Fang Li's eyes flashed as he continued speaking.

"Didn't you say that over the next eight hundred years, you planned to do many unnecessary but joyful things?"

"Didn't you decide that in the next eight hundred years, you wouldn't live like a weapon anymore?"

"If that's the case, are you really going to let yourself be manipulated by insignificant schemers again, doing things you don't want to do at all? Don't you feel unwilling? Don't you feel hatred?"

"Open your eyes wide and look carefully! Think about it— what is the most important thing you should be doing right now!"

"Do you hear me, you idiot girl?!"

Fang Li's voice echoed clearly across the sea of flowers, resounding in the air.

Naturally, it also reached Arcueid's ears.

"Ugh...! Ah...!"

Arcueid's charming face showed a hint of struggle and pain as she held her head and let out a low cry.

In this situation, the entire blood-red world began to shake, and it was as if it were about to disappear, swaying like a mirage on the verge of collapse.

However, once trapped in this berserk state, stopping is far from easy.

The True Ancestors' Vampiric Impulses are desires that gradually accumulate.

Once these desires are satisfied, the next time they become even stronger, an endless cycle.

So, when True Ancestors give in to their Vampiric Impulses and drink blood, they immediately fall, becoming complete slaves to it.

Arcueid is the same. Eight hundred years ago, after drinking Roa's blood, she went on a rampage, killing all the True Ancestors around her. She only stopped after slaughtering everything and then chose to sleep.

Now, Arcueid's Vampiric Impulses had not only been awakened again but Roa also forcefully fed her a large amount of blood.

As a result, Arcueid's berserk state is even more intense than it was eight hundred years ago.

"Aaaahhhhh... Aaahhhhhh… Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh————!"

Before long, Arcueid let out another berserk scream, causing the atmosphere around her to explode.

The ruptured air immediately cascaded down like an avalanche, transforming into a blast wave that hid the sky and covered the earth, seemingly intending to tear the entire land apart as it descended.

Witnessing such a terrifying scene, Fang Li sighed softly.

But within that sigh, there was also a faint whisper.

"Release..."

At that moment, a pure white sigil on the back of Fang Li's hand suddenly radiated with a holy light.

Like white phosphorescent flames, the light began to burn gradually on Fang Li's body.

At this moment, an incomparably powerful force surged through Fang Li's body.

Facing the berserk, strongest True Ancestor, Fang Li finally decided to use his trump card.

"Stigma..."
