261: Chapter 261 The Supreme True Body Arrives, Lord of the Undying Mountain

Day 30 of the Dark Turmoil.

Countdown: 0 seconds.

———

Above Chaos Valley, the seven-colored light shield of the Big Dipper Killing Array was still slowly rotating.

One revolution every 1.7 seconds.

Synchronized with Lin Ye's heartbeat.

Synchronized with the pulsations of the projections of the seven great emperor artifacts.

Synchronized with the breathing of the entire Yan State land.

———

Lin Ye sat cross-legged before the seventh high platform.

Above his head, the wushi bell projection floated, casting mottled shadows of bronze light upon him.

Beside him, Su Qingyue stood quietly.

Her left hand never let go of his right hand.

———

7 days.

A full 7 days.

He had sat here without moving a single step.

She had stood here without letting go for a single moment.

Lin Ye looked at the line reading "0 hours 17 minutes."

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

———

"17 minutes," he said.

"Is it enough?"

———

No one answered.

Because no one knew the answer.

———

Minute 1.

The sky began to change.

It wasn't changing color.

It was "tearing."

Starting from the due north direction, a fine, almost invisible crack split across the firmament of the Big Dipper Star Field.

The crack spread southward at a speed of 1.7 kilometers per second.

For every kilometer it spread, countless fine spatial fragments fell from the rift.

Those fragments landed on the ground.

Every single piece smashed out a giant crater 1.7 kilometers in diameter.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

———

"Level 250," he said.

"After 80% suppression, it's equivalent to Level 50."

———

Su Qingyue did not speak.

But she tightened her grip on his hand.

———

Second 5.

The rift expanded to 1,700 kilometers wide.

A massive figure slowly stepped out from the rift.

———

The moment he stepped out of the rift, the entire Big Dipper Star Field trembled.

The ground of Chaos Valley split into 17 bottomless fissures.

The seven high platforms vibrated simultaneously.

The light of the Big Dipper Killing Array dimmed for 0.1 seconds.

———

[System Prompt: Big Dipper Killing Array is enduring Supreme pressure]

[Formation Integrity: 100% → 97%]

———

Lin Ye sat in the center of the Formation eye.

He looked at that 51-kilometer-tall figure.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

That smile was colder than any he had shown to any enemy.

———

"51 kilometers," he said.

"Smaller than I thought."

———

Su Qingyue looked at him.

In those seven-colored transparent eyes, there was no fear.

Only calm.

———

Second 7.

The Lord of Undying Mountain spoke.

His voice was like 1,700 volcanoes erupting simultaneously.

———

"Big Dipper Killing Array."

"projections of the seven great emperor artifacts."

"It has been 470,000 years."

"I finally see them again."

———

His gaze fell upon Chaos Valley.

It fell upon Lin Ye.

———

"Level 85," he said.

"Chaos Sacred Body."

"You are the one who awakened Gai Jiuyou?"

———

Lin Ye did not speak.

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain laughed.

The laughter was like 1,700 claps of thunder exploding at once.

———

"Level 85," he said.

"Before me, you are not even as good as an ant."

———

He raised his right hand.

That hand was 8,500 Zhang long.

With just a light wave, 1,700 Stone Dragon Phantasms rushed out from his palm.

[Stone Dragon Phantasms × 1,700]

[Quantity: 1,700]

[Target: Chaos Valley]

———

They landed on the 1,700 Stone Dragon Phantasms.

[Damage Dealt: 10% Max HP]

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain watched those dissipating phantasms.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

———

"Interesting," he said.

"The Big Dipper Killing Array indeed lives up to its reputation."

———

He took a step forward.

This single step crossed 1,700 kilometers.

He stood above Chaos Valley.

Only 1,700 meters away from the Big Dipper Killing Array.

———

He looked down.

Looking at Lin Ye in the Formation eye.

Looking at those seven high platforms.

Looking at those seven imperial weapon projections.

———

"Level 85," he said.

"I will give you a chance."

———

Lin Ye looked at him.

"Speak," Lin Ye said.

———

"Withdraw the killing array," the Lord of Undying Mountain said.

"Hand over the imperial weapon projections."

"I can let you die a bit more quickly."

———

Lin Ye smiled.

The smile was very faint.

———

"Level 250," Lin Ye said.

"Do you think I'm afraid to die?"

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain's pupils contracted slightly.

———

Second 13.

He raised his right hand.

He slapped down.

[Undying Mountain Collapse · Simplified Edition]

[Damage: ???]

———

That palm strike blotted out the sun.

It covered the entire Chaos Valley.

———

The Big Dipper Killing Array operated at full power.

Seven-colored light soared into the sky.

It collided with that palm strike.

But the light of the killing array dimmed by 17%.

[Formation Integrity: 97% → 80%]

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain withdrew his hand.

He looked at the seven-colored light shield.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

———

"470,000 years," he said.

"The first time anyone has been able to block a palm strike from me."

———

He paused.

"But how many strikes can you block?"

———

The second palm struck down.

The seven imperial weapon projections flew out from the platforms, landing beside Lin Ye.

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain stood above Chaos Valley.

He looked down.

Looking at Lin Ye.

———

"Level 85," he said.

"The killing array is gone."

"What else do you have?"

———

Lin Ye stood up.

Behind him were 170,000 elite troops.

At his side were Su Qingyue, Shi Potian, Pale Moon, Gai Jiuyou, Odin, and Zachariah.

———

He looked at that 51-kilometer-tall figure.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

That smile was more crazed than any he had shown to any enemy.

———

"Level 250," Lin Ye said.

"I still have—170,000 people."

———

Second 20.

170,000 elites charged toward the Lord of Undying Mountain simultaneously.

The Lord of Undying Mountain looked down.

He looked at those ants who were merely tickling him.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

———

"Ants," he said.

"You dare to wound me?"

———

Second 21.

He raised his right foot.

He stomped down.

[Range: 1,700-meter radius]

[Targets Covered: approx. 30,000 people]

———

30,000 people were simultaneously crushed into meat paste.

[Casualties × 30,000]

———

Shi Potian knelt on the ground.

His left fist was already a bloody mess.

But his eyes were still shining.

———

He looked at that 51-kilometer-tall figure.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

———

"Level 250," he said.

"Come again."

Shi Potian fell in a pool of blood.

His left fist was shattered.

His right arm was broken.

But his eyes were still open.

———

He looked at that figure.

He smiled.

———

"Boss," he murmured.

"I'm sorry..."

———

Second 26.

Lin Ye moved.

He rushed out from the Formation eye.

The chaos sacred sword slashed toward the Lord of Undying Mountain's eye.

[Damage Dealt: 47,000 × 50 = 2,350,000 points]

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain cried out in pain for the first time.

He covered his left eye.

He took a step back.

———

"Chaos... Sacred Power..." he roared.

"You... you actually hurt me!"

———

Lin Ye stood before him.

Level 85.

Standing before a Level 250 Supreme.

———

He looked at that 51-kilometer-tall figure.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

———

"Level 250," Lin Ye said.

"Nothing more than this."

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain's pupils contracted violently.

He raised his right hand.

He slapped toward Lin Ye.

———

Second 27.

That palm fell.

———

Lin Ye did not dodge.

He just stood there.

Looking at the giant hand that blotted out the sun.

———

Then.

A golden light shone from behind him.

———

[System Prompt: Power of All Sentient Beings Wishes · Activated]

[Result: Draw]

———

The barrier shattered.

But that palm strike was also blocked.

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain was stunned.

He looked down.

Looking at those glowing Awakeners.

Those ordinary people.

Those who were mere ants in his eyes.

———

"You..." he said.

"How is it possible..."

———

Lin Ye looked at him.

"23 million people," Lin Ye said.

"Level 250."

"Is it enough?"

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain fell silent.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

For the first time, fear appeared in that smile.

———

"23 million people," he said.

"Are you all... really not afraid of death?"

———

No one answered.

But 23 million people, in the same instant—simultaneously took a step forward.

———

Second 28.

Lin Ye raised his sword.

Upon the chaos sacred sword, the lights of the seven imperial weapon projections lit up simultaneously.

[void mirror] [hengyu furnace] [western empress pagoda] [demon emperor ruler] [jiu li diagram] [divine land cauldron] [wushi bell]

Seven colors of light.

Seven types of Laws.

They were all added to this single strike.

He slashed down.

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain took three steps back.

He looked down at the wound on his chest.

3 seconds passed.

He smiled.

The smile was very complex.

———

"Level 85," he said.

"To be able to wound me by 1%."

"You... are the first."

———

He turned around.

He walked toward the rift.

———

Second 29.

He stepped into the rift.

He disappeared into the void.
