265: Chapter 265 Nine Strikes to Open the Heavens, Severing a Supreme Being's Finger

The 26th second.

The moment Lin Ye fell from the sky, he saw it.

On the ring finger of the Lord of Undying Mountain's left hand as he turned around, there was an extremely tiny crack.

That was the mark left by his previous 25 sword strikes.

Though it was only 0.1 millimeters deep.

It was a wound.

It was a wound on the 250th-level Supreme's True Body.

———

Lin Ye lay in a pool of blood.

His body could no longer move.

The Chaos Depletion state made it impossible for him to even lift a finger.

But his eyes could still move.

He stared at that crack.

Staring at that 0.1 millimeters of hope.

———

The 27th second.

At the final moment before the three Supremes stepped into the rift.

The Lord of Undying Mountain stopped.

He felt something.

That gaze.

That gaze coming from the pool of blood.

———

He turned around.

He looked down.

Looking at Lin Ye.

———

“Level 85 human,” he said.

“Are you still unwilling to give up?”

———

Lin Ye did not speak.

He just stared at him.

Staring at that finger.

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain's pupils contracted slightly.

He raised his left hand.

He looked at that ring finger.

He looked at that 0.1 mm crack.

———

3 seconds.

He laughed.

That smile was filled with contempt.

———

“0.1 millimeters,” he said.

“You think this little injury can kill me?”

———

Lin Ye laughed.

That smile was more crazed than when he faced any other enemy.

———

“0.1 millimeters,” Lin Ye said.

“It's enough.”

———

The 28th second.

His right hand moved.

The chaos sacred sword, which was stabbed into the ground, flew up from the earth.

It fell into his hand.

3 seconds.

He laughed.

———

“9 times,” he said.

“Enough to sever one of his fingers.”

———

The 28.1st second.

He stood up.

His body was trembling.

Blood was flowing from his seven orifices.

But he stood.

———

He raised his sword.

On the chaos sacred sword, the gray light lit up once more.

Though it was only 1%.

But that 1% was his everything.

The Lord of Undying Mountain looked at his severed left hand.

Looking at that fallen ring finger.

3 seconds.

His eyes turned blood-red.

———

“Level 85 human,” his voice was like 1,700 volcanoes erupting simultaneously.

“You... how dare you...”

———

He raised his right hand.

That giant hand that blotted out the sky.

Aimed at Chaos Valley.

Aimed at those 20,000 heavily injured warriors.

Very faint.
