"…..."Silence this is the only reaction from all the members of the Heavenly Court who are left speechless, seeing someone with such shamelessness they couldn't imagine existed. But not only does he exist, he is currently the strongest Gu Immortal in the world, standing before them with a warm smile on his face.
"Kekekeke, well, I would like to chat more, but I have a bunch of tadpoles waiting at home, so..." Kuang Luo To says with a sad tone, like that of a hardworking man who can't spend time with his friends due to family responsibilities.
"These useless jokes won't save you... As I said before, hand over our Immortal King safe and sound, and you will have a quick death!" Zhi Ming says in an imposing and authoritarian tone filled with suffocating hatred, as a dark black barrier emerges, trapping everything within an area of thousands of kilometers.
"Man Xing… of course, you came too…" Kuang Luo To, who was quickly flying away, stops his movements and speaks with a disappointed smile. He starts looking around, making several white lights emerge from the barrier and environment, entering his mind at an impressive speed.
Immortal Killer Move - A Fool's Inspection
"This bastard is deducing a way to escape the Battlefield Killer Move… we must be quick, we can't let this damn demon escape!" Seeing this development, Man Xing, a burly middle-aged man exuding the imposing aura of a rank 8 immortal, speaks with pure hatred on his face.
Despite his common appearance, he is a legendary Rank 8 who made his reputation as a genius since his immortal ascension with only forty years. And in a short time as an immortal, he raised his attainment to the level of a master in Formation path, one of the most complex and difficult paths to master and advance in.
And advance he did. After centuries of relentless effort and cultivation, he is now a triumphant rank 8 Gu Immortal and a Great Grandmaster in the Formation path. His great personal achievements quickly led to his recruitment into the Heavenly Court over a century ago.
So is obvious that his presence in this battle is obligatory, a duty he fulfills with a smile because the reason he cultivated so arduously, never faltering or resting for so long, was to take revenge on Kuang Luo To by giving him a slow and painful death.
This personal and irreconcilable hatred against Kuang Luo To originates from the past when they were both mere rank 6 immortals. The toad, who had just ascended as an immortal, kidnapped his wife, a rank 5 Gu master, and sold her as a slave to his greatest enemy at the time. This enemy not only used his wife's body to fulfill all his profane pleasures before killing her, but he also posted videos of these acts in Treasure Yellow Heaven for all to see to this day, even though this enemy is long dead now.
"Don't worry, he won't have any escape from the might of the Heavenly Court…" Zhi Ming says with a cruel smile on his face as the sky above him suddenly turns white. Not just the sky, but the world around him takes on this absolute white color as an attack that seems harmless but can kill even the most confident rank 8 Gu immortal. This is the legendary attack, Fate Vanquish.
"Kekekeke, well, you don't even want to give me a fighting chance... but you can't blame this foolish toad for trying, right?" Kuang Luo To says, looking at the white light without the slightest fear. His aura changes completely from what it was before, his smile replaced by a calm and empty expression, like a person calculating each of his movements.
"This is bad!" Guang Hui says with consternation on his face because, as one of Kuang Luo To's great enemies, he understands him well and knows that nothing good happens when that toad gets serious, making him lose confidence even in the legendary Fate Vanquish.
Hua Huo, hearing Guang Hui's words, quickly activates a killer move that creates a flame armor around his body. The same is done by everyone else inside the Heaven Overseeing Tower, with even Zhi Ming following suit, while a tense atmosphere permeates the air as everyone feels nervous.
But this isn't because they don't trust the Heaven Overseeing Tower, but only a fool would remain calmly undefended when something is wrong with Kuang Luo To's actions, as he must have some trick up his sleeve; otherwise, he would have been killed long ago due to his past theft from the Heavenly Court If he were so easy to kill.
As if not to let this nervousness go without reason, a black hand descends from the sky, tearing through the clouds like a death god descending to torment defenseless mortals.
Immortal Killer Move - Theft of Heavenly Treasure
This black hand, large enough to grasp entire mountains, moves at a speed too fast to be seen with the naked eye, grasping the Heaven Overseeing Tower in a moment as if skipping all the space between them.
Even more shocking, just as it appeared out of nowhere, it vanished into nothingness, but to the despair of the Heavenly Court members, it didn't disappear alone; it took the Heaven Overseeing Tower with it, leaving them completely exposed. And that's not the worst part, as the rank 9 Fate Gu disappeared along with the Heaven Overseeing Tower.
"Damn it!!" Liu Ka, a man with long black hair and the appearance of a reclusive scholar, says as he creates an invisible defensive barrier protecting the Heavenly Court members from any possible outside attack.
Immortal Killer Move - Complete Space Isolation
Quickly, the invisible barrier, only perceptible due to spatial distortion, begins to be incessantly attacked by white characters as beautiful as those written by a master calligrapher.
*Cough* *Cough* "This.... Thieving Heaven?!" Zhi Ming, who was in control of the Heaven Overseeing Tower, says in profound shock while coughing up blood due to internal damage as he watches the relentless attacks against the spatial barrier.
But this is the least of his worries now, as his life matters little compared to the Heaven Overseeing Tower, which vanished, taking the Fate Gu with it. If lost now, it would make him the greatest sinner of the Heavenly Court of this generation, perhaps in all history.
"We must resist his attacks for now... until I recover the Heaven Overseeing Tower. Until then, we must not go on the offensive." Zhi Ming says, for fortunately, with the methods left by the Immortal Kings of the past, he can sense the Heaven Overseeing Tower and Fate Gu resisting capture just outside this formation. So it's not the worst-case scenario, unlike what Thieving Heaven did when he was alive, forcing the Heavenly Court to pay a hefty ransom to get the Heaven Overseeing Tower back.
"This is an almost rank 9 killer move... how is this possible?" Guang Hui says with an impressed expression as he starts to retaliate against Kuang Luo To's attacks, firing beams of light at him, which he dodges effortlessly.
"Almost Rank 9?! That's impossi—!" Huo Hua is cut off mid-sentence by the sensation of a small hand on his shoulder.
Immortal Killer Move - Information Goes Everywhere
"Kekeke, do you want to know how, junior?" Kuang Luo To speaks in a low, calm, and cold voice resonating in his ear, "Behold the profound Great Dao!"
"What—!" Huo Hua exclaims in shock as he feels Kuang Luo To behind him and sees all the other Heavenly Court members turning to where he is with as much shock, preparing killer moves.
Immortal Killer Move - Eternal Heavenly Omniscience
Huo Hua can't say anything more because at that moment his mind is overwhelmed with information. If asked how many pieces of information are invading and overloading his mind, and if he could answer, he would have two responses: Everything and Nothing.
At this moment, he knows about the existence of every grain of sand, every particle of air, every flame ever ignited, every person who has walked this world. He knows them all as if they were himself. He recalls perfectly all their lives, all their pasts, all their futures in every possible timeline since the creation of the Gu world. In short, he knows everything.
But at the same time, he doesn't know what he is, what a grain of sand is, what a particle of air is, what a flame is, what people or living beings are, what the past, present, and future are. So despite seeing everything in this world for all eternity, he doesn't know or understand a single thing he sees. In short, he knows nothing.
"..." Huo Hua, after what seems like an infinite amount of time but at the same time such a short time it doesn't seem real, simply has an empty expression, his eyes lifeless as he floats in the air by inertia, still surrounded by his flame armor that continues to operate without any damage.
"How!??!" This is the thought passing through the minds of all the Heavenly Court members. How did Kuang Luo To penetrate one of Liu Ka's renowned defensive moves, Complete Space Isolation?
But the biggest "how" comes when they see Huo Hua's body, uninjured, his heart beating normally as always, but everyone knows he is completely dead, his mind destroyed to an extent that it can't even be said to have existed.
Of course, the Gu immortals of the Heavenly Court weren't ignorant of Kuang Luo To's killer moves, and they spent an immense amount of resources before this mission to prepare all kinds of mental defenses against Information path methods, even bringing along the rank 8 Information path specialist Fei Mui, second only to the toad in knowledge and skill in the Information path.
But now all this seems like mere child's play when all it took for Kuang Luo To to kill one of the greatest geniuses of the last centuries of the Heavenly Court was simply a touch on the shoulder and a few words.
And this wasn't the worst of it all, but the fact that it was a perfected killer move—one which could instantly kill with its activation and that easily bypassed all the defensive methods of the Information Path they created.
Immortal Killer Move - Demon Judgment Light
"You will pay for this with your head!" Guang Hui roars as he charges at Kuang Luo To, shining with a blinding light.
Immortal Killer Move - Knowledge is an Armor
"Kekeke, your little disciple died for being a fool and looking directly at the Dao..." Kuang Luo To speaks with a maniacal smile on his face as he defends himself with an armor made of words swirling around his body.
"If anything, his death is in your hands for not being a good master, kekekeke!!" Kuang Luo To, who is being forced into a seemingly deplorable state where he can only defend, speaks continuously with a maniacal smile on his face.
Immortal Killer Move - The Disciple's Ignorance is the Master's Weakness
"Arghh!" Right after Kuang Luo To's words leave his mouth, this Killer Move finishes its activation, causing Guang Hui to feel a great pain in his mind while his strength diminishes sharply.
"Ma Xuo! Guo Mi! Advance without hesitation!" Guang Hui orders as he retreats from the fight against the toad to heal his mind.
"Everyone, the priority is to defend the Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord and Fei Mu...." Guang Hui says while looking at the Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, who is kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat as if making a great effort.
Immortal Killer Move - World Destroying Strength
Immortal Killer Move - Warrior's Savagery
"Watch how a real man fights, you cowardly toad!!" Ma Xuo, a man four meters tall of pure muscle and savagery, advances roaring and shouting at the small toad like a tiger descending from the mountain, moving so quickly that he creates sonic booms in the air. Before reaching the toad, he punches it with all his strength.
Immortal Killer Move - Knowledge is Strength
"Kekekeke, you are really arrogant to say that to a barbarian from the Northern Plains..." But contrary to what one would expect, the small toad that took the punch not only did not have its fragile-looking body utterly destroyed but barely moved at all, resisting the attack with its own strength.
Immortal Killer Move - The Pen is Mightier than the Sword
Kuang Luo To uses a small white pen that appeared in his hand not only to defend against Ma Xuo's attacks but also to counterattack. From an outsider's perspective, it seems like a comical image from a children's cartoon, with the small 30-centimeter toad with a thin and fragile body fighting on equal terms with a four-meter-tall wild man who has more muscles than seems humanly possible.
Immortal Killer Move - World Origin Tree
Immortal Killer Move - Nature Suppresses Demons
"Underestimating me will be your downfall!!" Guo Mi, a beautiful fairy immortal, speaks with a gentle smile on her face but a cold and disdainful tone.
In an instant, a small seed on the ground grows into a majestic and imposing tree hundreds of meters tall and dozens wide, trapping Kuang Luo To in a cage created by branches that seem unbreakable.
"Kekeke, beautiful Mi'er, did you miss me? Do you want to warm my bed again?" Kuang Luo To taunts with a mocking and disdainful voice, ignoring the fact that he is now trapped and his aura is constantly suppressed as if it were no problem.
"You piece of shit... you will pay for deceiving me and taking my purity...!" Hearing Kuang Luo To's words, the smile on Guo Mi's face fades as she speaks with hatred and disgust.
"Kekeke, you say that now, but back then you begged me not to sto--" Kuang Luo To is cut off mid-taunt by a blinding light that reaches his eyes.
Immortal Killer Move - Extermination Primordial Light
"Don't think you will escape this time!" Guang Hui shouts as he prepares his strongest killer move, which should be capable of causing mortal damage to Kuang Luo To or even killing the toad if he has enough time to let the light grow stronger.
"Kekeke, you really want to kill this poor toad... well, I have finished my Killer Move anyway," Kuang Luo To says as he looks at the light, which becomes brighter and stronger with each passing second. Even though he is now trapped and can only watch as the light reaches a point where even he would die if struck by it.
Immortal Killer Move - A Foolish Toad's Last Triumph
"Kekeke, let's make this battle memorable for all of history!" Kuang Luo To declares with a cruel and excited smile on his face as his aura continuously increases.
