Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 684: IUD-Chapter 681 Crimson Moon

Hū————!

The wind howled.

BOOM————!

The atmosphere let out a mournful cry.

Buzz————!

Right above, the crimson full moon was falling.

Bang————!

Below, the once-bustling city continued to burn.

The walls of the living could be heard as the howls of the dead echoed.

The hum of space resonated.

Even the trembling of the world could be heard.

Yet, what could be seen as despair, and what could be heard was also despair.

Everything was so overwhelming that it forced a single thought into people’s minds:

“What has happened to this world?”

Yes.

What has happened to this world?

The city, which was bustling with life during the day, had turned into a den of bloodshed and corpses, where the dead roamed.

The people who had been chatting happily that morning had become nothing but part of a hellish landscape of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The vibrant, colorful world had been overtaken by a blinding red hue.

The noise and chatter that once filled the air had been replaced by the wails of despair.

On this night, only one thing presented itself before everyone in Misaki Town.

That was Death.

What they saw was Death.

What they heard was Death.

Everything around them was Death.

Even in the night sky, the largest Death was looming closer, aiming to bring an equal end to all.

And that end was still Death.

—Death.

—Death.

—Death.

—Death.

There was no need to possess the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception; tonight, every living being could see its presence.

So, at this very moment, for the people of Misaki Town, their world had also died.

There was simply too much Death.

Yet, the one who could stare directly at death chose to challenge it.

To challenge the greatest Death.

Bang————!

The sound of shattering glass echoed in the surroundings.

That was the sound of the crimson moon falling from the sky and shattering the enormous Magecraft formation rotating above Misaki Town.

However, it wasn’t so much a shattering as it was a mere touch.

Under such an immense mass, just a brief contact was enough to pulverize the grand Magecraft formation, a formation that would normally require the highest-ranking mages or around ten skilled mages to dispel.

It was as simple as an egg colliding with a rock.

BOOM————!

In the ear-splitting roar, the crimson moon continued to fall.

Moreover, it was accelerating.

In this situation, the clouds had already been blown away and the atmosphere was being torn apart, leaving behind only a berserk, howling wind swirling around the descending moon.

The wind had reached an unimaginable level of ferocity.

Fang Li could guarantee this much.

Chī————!

Amid the faint sound of space tearing, Fang Li, now a white comet, shot into the sky, directly challenging the falling crimson moon.

“Looking at it like this, it’s really absurd…”

His vision was completely overtaken by the blinding crimson light, with nothing else in sight.

“Its size is unmeasurable, and its mass is equally incalculable.”

Therefore, Fang Li, who chose to challenge it, seemed like the biggest fool.

Yet, Fang Li resolutely continued to ascend, heading straight for the falling crimson moon.

In his hand, the Urm Manadyte of Bo Xie radiated brilliant light, illuminating the night.

Snap…

At a certain moment, that sound came from Fang Li’s body.

It was the sound of muscles tearing.

Crack… Crack… Crack…

In the next second, that sound followed, emanating from within Fang Li.

It was the sound of bones being crushed.

“Pū Chī…”

His skin was torn to shreds by the immense air pressure, making Fang Li’s entire body feel as if it had been sliced by invisible scythes, leaving countless wounds.

“Dí Dā…”

His internal organs seemed to be bleeding as well, causing blood to trickle from the corner of Fang Li’s mouth.

All this suffering was the result of the falling Crimson Moon.

Even before he could touch it, the atmospheric pressure caused by the falling moon’s impact had already left Fang Li battered and bruised, with wounds all over his body.

But Fang Li remained oblivious to his injuries, his ice blue eyes fixed intently on the descending moon as he continued to soar upwards.

His heart was extraordinarily calm.

At this moment, Fang Li entered a profound state.

He was face to face with death, yet he remained indifferent to it.

Fang Li relentlessly ascended.

His mind was invigorated.

“It’s alright…”

Fang Li reassured himself.

“That thing can be killed…”

As evidenced by these Mystic Eyes.

“I can see it…”

The lines casually drawn on the Crimson Moon, like childish doodles.

“Since that’s the case…”

As long as there are lines…

“Then I can kill it…”

The problem lies in the method.

“How to kill it?”

The length can be achieved with Bo Xie.

With it, even the longest Death Line can be cut through.

“But, I’m still missing something…”

Missing something that can perfectly utilize Bo Xie’s length to elegantly cut through the crimson moon.

Such a technique…

“I have…”

It was to push the performance of this pair of eyes to the limit that Fang Li had mastered the Nanaya Assassination Technique, which trains the body to its utmost.

Inside, there are practical and certain-kill moves.

“However, one strike is not enough…”

Even a single fragment of the moon’s power is enough to rival a large meteor, turning Fang Li into minced meat.

“So, multiple slashes are needed…”

For multiple slashes, lower-level techniques include the Eight Flower Mirror and Eight Point Opposition, while higher-level techniques include Ichiri Yotsuji and Illusionary Prison Monk.

But even those are not enough.

“What I need are continuous strikes that can unleash a storm in a split second…”

In other words, the highest level of multiple slashes.

His internal organs had already been shattered by the air pressure.

His body was also becoming battered by the force of the airflow.

Only his thoughts never ceased.

The Ogre Lux in his hand had already burst forth with a light comparable to the sun.

Holding such a ray of light, Fang Li dashed straight toward the falling moon.

His ice-blue Mystic Eyes suddenly shone.

“Flashing Scabbard – Illusionary Moon Absolute Kill!”

As this sound echoed, the night sky lit up.

It was a boundless sea of sword light formed by countless slashes.

The sword light danced wildly as if forming another moon, dazzling and brilliant.

Yet, that moon was both bright and radiant.

Thus, high above Misaki Town, two moons—one falling, one rising—collided.

In the end, they clashed.

“————”

No world-shaking noise.

No ear-splitting sound.

In the moment when the two full moons collided.

“Zhēng————!”

Light filled the sky.

Turning the night into day.

Shortly afterward, the two moons vanished.

Yes.

They disappeared.

Quietly and without a trace.

Only one figure remained, falling from the sky.

Leaving a trail of hot blood along the way.
