A Fool Alone Against Fate

"Kekekeke, who would have thought today would be my last day..." Kuang Luo To murmurs with a bloody smile on his face as blood pours from all his orifices, the most noticeable being his eyes and ears.

"Have you accepted your death, damned demon!?!" Man Xing speaks with pure hatred in his voice as he watches from the side.

"Keke, not yet..." Kuang Luo To murmurs weakly, staring directly into the beam of light.

Immortal Killer Move - True Knowledge Fears Not the Light

At that moment, the Extermination Primordial Light struck the wooden cage directly, destroying not only the cage but the entire tree and the ground beneath, leaving not a particle behind to tell the tale.

"Is he really dead...?" Jiang Bo, another Light Path Gu Immortal who helped Guang Hui activate this killer move, asks in doubt.

"Even the Legendary Fate's Fool is fated to die one day..." Fei Mu speaks with a complicated expression, feeling melancholic despite his happiness at the toad's death, as it is sad for an Information Path Immortal to see the greatest genius of his path die this way.

Immortal Killer Move - Light is Information's Path

"Kekeke, did you really miss me?!" As if to respond to Fei Mu's melancholy, a small toad appears right next to him.

"How?!" This thought runs through everyone's mind as they look at the toad, which looks straight out of a horror movie with all its green skin burned, leaving it as raw flesh, with two arms almost completely severed and a leg as well.

Not only that, but the toad's body is covered with nearly infinite number of Light Path Dao Marks, constantly increasing his injuries. The situation is so precarious that everyone wonders how he is still standing, and it how even has a smile on his completely disfigured face.

"Kill this bastard once and for all!!" Man Xing shouts in desperation because, to him, every second the toad lives is another second it might use to escape.

Immortal Killer Move - Mind Steal

But it was already too late, as Kuang Luo To didn't hesitate for a moment, activating his killer moves.

"Arghhkh!akrgh!ar--kekeke...." Fei Mu, who was next to Kuang Luo To, places his hands on his head, screaming desperately, but within moments, all his screams are replaced by a familiar laugh.

Immortal Killer Move - The Mind Shapes the Body

"Kekeke, this junior fought bravely, but unfortunately for him, I was his enemy...." Fei Mu speaks with a manic smile on his face as his body transforms from a wise old man with a gentle appearance into a small toad that any girl would find very cute, but now has a horrifying smile on its face.

"You two, now!!" Zhi Ming, who was in the rear, shouts with an animated expression.

"Yes!" Liu Ka, a Space Path Immortal, and Mei Xian, a Time Path Immortal, shout in unison.

Without hesitation or error in their movements, the two coordinate perfectly to execute a killer move so complex that it would make most immortals' heads ache just watching the process. But for them, it seems as natural as breathing.

Immortal Killer Move - Space-Time Restriction

"Kekeke, juniors these days are increasingly impressive!" Kuang Luo To says as he is struck by the killer move he has never seen before, but it seems to replicate the effects of the Time-Space Path.

Kuang Luo To looks around to see the space around him, which seems infinitely large, but if he tries to make any movement, the space becomes as small as a grain of dust, preventing even the slightest movement.

The same goes for time, as each second he spends here seems to pass by in thousands of years, but the moment he tries to use any killer move, it is as if not a single instant has passed, making him almost frozen in time.

"Kekeke, truly impressive...but still flawed," Kuang Luo To thinks as his body is frozen in time, unable to move.

Immortal Killer Move - Knowledge Transcends Space-Time

"Kekeke, you with your dark plans, I expected more from the honored members of the Heavenly Court," Kuang Luo To says with a smile as he exits the killer move and sees the Heaven Overseeing Tower trying to reenter this Battlefield Killer Move.

Immortal Killer Move - Frozen Judgment

"Damn it, how did he--!" Ge Bai, an Ice Path Immortal, shouts as he activates a killer move that fires desolate and deadly ice spikes at the toad.

Immortal Killer Move - Information Goes Everywhere

"Kekekeke, you should practice more on staying silent!" Kuang Luo To appears face-to-face with Ge Bai, completely ignoring his attack.

Immortal Killer Move - Knowledge is Strength

"Die!! Argh!!" Ge Bai screams furiously as he finds a small toad clinging to his face like a wild beast, applying a force that seems infinite, cracking Ge Bai's skull.

Immortal Killer Move - Absolute Zero

Immortal Killer Move - Everlasting Ice

Immortal Killer Move - Desolate Death Ice

Ge Bai activates several killer moves desperately as the toad's grip around his head tightens, but all prove useless against the small toad, whose seemingly fragile body exerts greater strength than an average Rank 8 Strength Path Immortal.

Immortal Killer Move - Mind Break

Soon after, Ge Bai's head shatters completely, but the worst part was not the physical injury. But his mind, which was also under pressure, is now completely destroyed, ensuring that even if his head is healed, he will not return to life.

"Quick! Put an end to this damned demon!!" Guo Mi shouts as vines shoot from the sleeves of her dress to bind Kuang Luo To.

Immortal Killer Move - Heavenly Binding Vines

"Kekeke, it seems you really can't get binding out of your head after a night with me!" Kuang Luo To says, feeling the vines tighten even more, as if trying to kill him through strangulation.

"Die, you filthy toad!!" Guo Mi shouts, filled with hatred because of the toad's words that recall a past event, a nightmare for her even to this day.

Even so, Guo Mi controls herself, not falling for the toad's provocation that seeks to make her commit a mistake out of anger. She knows how important it is to bind the toad now so the Heaven Overseeing Tower can strike the toad with Fate Vanquish.

She doesn't have to wait long, as a bright white light suddenly emerges, reaching everywhere, turning the whole world white without exception. It is as if a Heavenly decree had been issued, and not even a living being could escape it, with Kuang Luo To, bound by the Heavenly Binding Vines, being struck directly.

"Hahaha, see the glory of the Heavenly Court, you damned toad--! How?!" Man Xing, who was happily smiling at the sight of his most hated person being hit by Fate Vanquish, now has an expression of absolute shock seeing Kuang Luo To still standing.

"Kekeke, as if something as pathetic as fate could kill me so easily...." *Cough* *Cough* Kuang Luo To murmurs with a confident smile, struggling to stay on his feet, bleeding from all the orifices of his body, with almost all his Immortal Gu injured in some way.

"...truly worthy of being the strongest immortal alive," Guang Hui speaks with a sigh. Despite his great hatred for Kuang Luo To because of his actions, he still has immense respect for him as the undisputed greatest genius of his generation.

Immortal Killer Move - Heavenly Light

Of course, this respect is still overshadowed by the hatred between them after so many fights and friends deaths caused by their rivalry. Seeing this chance to kill Kuang Luo To, he doesn't hesitate to try.

"If you don't die from fate, I'll just crush you to death!!" Guo Mi says, her happiness at thinking the toad had died replaced by disgust and anger.

"Kekeke, why all this hatred for a poor toad?" Kuang Luo To says with a mocking smile.

Immortal Killer Move - Information Goes Everywhere

"Just because my seed grew in your womb easily after your husband failed for decades, kekeke?" Kuang Luo To taunts in Guo Mi's ear with disdain, his hand on her shoulder.

Immortal Killer Move - Trauma Causes Mental Damage

"You damned toad, how did you escape--!!" Guo Mi turns to attack Kuang Luo To, but instead of seeing the toad, she sees her deceased husband.

"Guo Mi, how could you sleep with my killer?! How could you carry his child in your womb?!" Guo Mi looks desperately at her husband, who speaks with an expression of hatred, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.

"Wha-- Tue be?! Wait no! It wasn't my fault... please understand! I was deceived by him!" Guo Mi feels immense pain as if her mind is being sliced, which, combined with her emotional agony, makes her fall to her knees, crying uncontrollably out of regret for her past actions, staring at the ground.

"Tue Bae, my love, please forgive me... please--!" Guo Mi raises her head to face her husband but sees only a group of Gu Immortals from her original sect.

"Is that Guo Mi? Did you hear how she got pregnant by Kuang Luo To..." a woman says with a look of disdain, making Guo Mi feel a cut within herself.

"Oh my! Is this really true? Poor woman..." Another woman beside her tries to sound sympathetic but hides a sneering smile with her hand as the cuts on Guo Mi increase in number and depth with each word.

"I say she's promiscuous. I bet she knew it wasn't her husband she was sleeping with for a year... I'd know if someone took my husband's place!" Another woman speaks in a self-righteous and proud tone as she judges Guo Mi, who is in a pitiful state.

"Really... she and her husband tried for decades and couldn't succeed, and now this demonic Gu Immortal who infiltrated the clan for just a year did it... ahh, Tue Bae must be swearing in his grave!" A tall and burly man speaks mockingly, seeming to enjoy Guo Mi's suffering as she cries on her knees with cuts all over her body.

"Don't forget that it was Kuang Luo To who put her husband in that grave before stealing his identity!" A friend of the man speaks openly, not even bothering to hide his contempt.

"What happened to this alleged child anyway?" An old man of common appearance asks curiously.

"I heard that Kuang Luo To took their son after fleeing with the sect's confidential information." Hearing these words, Guo Mi raises her head to see who said this, fearing how much this person might know, but instead, she sees only an old man with a magnanimous appearance.

"Guo Mi, you are the greatest disgrace I have ever had the displeasure of calling a disciple! Today, I expel you from the Pure Lotus Sect... and sever all our past ties of master and disciple." Guo Mi hears these words, which seem to be the final cut needed after minutes of torture for her to collapse face-first to the ground, completely dead.

But unlike the passage of time outside her mind, not even a moment had passed from when she was hit by Kuang Luo To's attack until the moment her lifeless body floated in the air like a puppet whose strings had been cut.

"Kekeke, I am truly a genius for finding a way to attack not only the mind but also the emotions..." Kuang Luo To says, his eyes gleaming with a cruel light and pride for his new invention.

Which, in fact, is not entirely his merit, as he created this method not only by observing Wang Mei cultivate but also by discussing the concept with her. But, of course, he doesn't even remember Wang Mei now, much less that he used her help in creating this Killer Move.

Immortal Killer Move - Light Speed Impalement

"Die!!" Jiang Bo rushes through the air furiously, his body taking the form of a majestic spear of light, not giving Kuang Luo To a moment to react after killing Guo Mi, piercing the toad in the belly and dragging him for hundreds of meters in a second.

Immortal Killer Move - Information is Intangible

As the Killer Move activates, the light spear lodged in his belly continues its trajectory with relentless force while Kuang Luo To remains stationary in the air with a grim expression on his face.

"Two thousand just for this second... ahh, Phantom Path." Kuang Luo To murmurs with melancholy, watching two thousand Dao marks on his body disappear as if they never existed or were phantoms.

Immortal Killer Move - Information Goes Everywhere

"Don't even think about it!!" Liu Ka shouts, his eyes red from stress, and his forehead covered in sweat.

Immortal Killer Move - Gravity Distorts Information

In the same moment, Kuang Luo To, advancing in the form of calligraphic writings towards Zhi Ming, has his trajectory distorted, and his body once again takes the shape of a small, harmless-looking green toad.

"Just a mere inconvenience!!" Kuang Luo To speaks, blood in his eyes and coughing a bit of blood after his Killer Move is countered.

This is a prime example of one of the greatest problems of becoming someone renowned and legendary in the Gu world, as your enemies will not just stand by, watching you demonstrate your abilities without doing anything. They will obviously take every possible measure to develop effective countermeasures against your main methods.

In fact, Kuang Luo To has done an excellent job preventing others from creating ways to deal with him since he avoided using the same Killer Move multiple times as much as possible. And each time he used the same Killer Move, he had already made enough modifications to render the previously created countermeasures by his enemies ineffective.

Immortal Killer Move - Known Grievances Lead Me to You

"Kekeke, let's see if you managed to create a countermeasure against this!!" Kuang Luo To speaks with a manic smile on his face as he appears face-to-face with Man Xing.

Immortal Killer Move - Eternal Heavenly Omniscience

In an instant, a piercing sound that seems to dominate the world spreads over thousands of kilometers, along with a black light that, despite carrying an imposing aura, causes no harm, not even to an insect. Of course, this is if one ignores Man Xing, who, until recently, was a proud rank 8 Gu Immortal but is now just a lifeless body floating in the air.

"Kekekeke, farewell to all!!" Kuang Luo To, seeing the Battlefield Killer Move disintegrate after Man Xing's death, quickly pretends to fly away to escape.

"We can't let him escape!! Not until we recover our Immortal King Seed!!" Zhi Ming shouts in desperation, struggling greatly to protect the Heaven Overseeing Tower from the giant black hand trying to steal it again. Not only that, but Zhi Ming is also using all his abilities to employ the Fate Vanquish.

His desperation is justified since, after causing the death of six members of the Heavenly Court, if Kuang Luo To simply fled, they would face their worst defeat in thousands of years. And this is not the worst part, for if he truly managed to escape while carrying the Immortal King Seed he had kidnapped, Zhi Ming might even take his own life to atone for his sins against the Heavenly Court.

All this trouble arose from the death of Man Xing, which is why both he and Zhi Ming, who controlled the Heaven Overseeing Tower, were the focus of everyone's defense. Consequently, they were also the focus of Kuang Luo To's attention, who waited for even the smallest mistake to deliver a fatal blow.

In the end, after accomplishing what many would consider impossible, killing four rank 8 Gu Immortals of the Heavenly Court while fighting alone and surrounded, he managed to cause their reduced numbers to make a mistake, allowing him to kill Man Xing in one attack using the most feared Killer Move of the present day, "Eternal Heavenly Omniscience," after approaching him with the never-before-seen Killer Move "Known Grievances Lead Me to You."

Immortal Killer Move - Savage Fighter Charge

"Argh!! You cowardly bastard!! Stay and fight like a man!!" Ma Xou, which was defending Zhi Ming, says now advancing against Kuang Luo To, but his Killer Move doesn't even have the slightest chance of reaching the toad.

Immortal Killer Move - Sacrifice of the Heavenly Light

"Even if I die here, you won't escape!!" Guang Hui roars with strength as he advances like a celestial light illuminating the whole world, taking less than a moment to collide with Kuang Luo To, instantly destroying the entire left side of his body.

Guang Hui, who pierces the toad's chest, has a determined expression on his face, but in his eyes hides great melancholy. This Killer Move not only sacrifices all the Light Path Dao marks in his body, which unfortunately affects him, despite having a Phantom Aperture.

But this isn't the worst negative consequence of the Sacrifice of the Heavenly Light, as it sacrifices everything to deliver an attack of unprecedented strength, sacrificing his own defensive capabilities, leaving him in a state where even a mortal could kill him, let alone Kuang Luo To, the strongest Gu Immortal alive.

"Kekekeke, you're looking at a man whose death sentence was signed from the beginning of this battle, but now you're coming with me!!! Kekekeke!!!" Kuang Luo To speaks, laughing like a madman, not caring that half his body is destroyed and he is at death's door.

Immortal Killer Move - The Legendary Fool's Last Attack

Instantly, an invisible force spreads over a radius of thousands of kilometers, exerting an unimaginably terrifying pressure, making the members of the Heavenly Court tremble in fear. Even in his death, Kuang Luo To has a crazed smile on his face as he tries to kill as many Heavenly Court members as possible with his final attack.

"Kekekeke, so finally comes the end of this foolish toad...." Kuang Luo To thinks, closing his eyes and embracing death without fear as he sees his entire life flash before his eyes in his final moments.
