262: Chapter 262 The Killing Array is Activated, A Dragon Trapped in a Trap

The moment the Lord of Undying Mountain retreated into the void crack, the entire Big Dipper Star Field fell into an eerie silence.

It was not the silence of a battle ending.

It was the silence "before the storm."

———

Lin Ye knelt in a pool of blood.

Before him were 150,000 newly erected tombstones.

Those tombstones were very simple.

They bore only names.

No life stories.

No achievements.

Only names.

———

The first name was one he recognized.

[Azure Dragon Hall · Reserve Team · 047 · Chen Zhong]

That was Zhou Tieshan's adjutant.

Rank 47.

He died in the 72-hour bloody battle of Chaos Valley.

———

The 17th name was also one he recognized.

[Vermilion Bird Hall · Arrow Tower Maintenance Workshop · 017 · Lin Shuang]

Chu Yunxi's adjutant.

Rank 45.

She died in the battle of the Blood Altar.

———

The 1,700th name, he recognized.

The 17,000th name, he recognized.

The 150,000th name—he recognized them all.

———

Those were the soldiers he had personally trained.

Those were the warriors he had personally commanded.

Those were the people he had promised to bring back.

———

[System Prompt: Your faction's death toll has reached 150,000]

[Current Total Faction Members: 170,000 → 20,000]

[Morale: 100% → 73% (Still decreasing)]

[Suggestion: Evacuate immediately to avoid further losses]

———

Lin Ye did not look at that prompt.

He just knelt there.

Looking at those tombstones.

———

Su Qingyue walked up behind him.

She did not speak.

She just knelt by his side.

Accompanying him.

———

The 1st minute.

The 2nd minute.

The 3rd minute.

———

The 17th minute.

A voice came from the Void Realm.

That voice did not come from any specific direction.

It came from the "crack."

It came from "Undying Mountain."

It came from—the heart of the Supreme.

———

"Level 85 human."

"Did you think you won?"

———

Lin Ye raised his head.

He looked at the crack that was reopening.

———

[System Prompt: Lord of Undying Mountain · True Body · Descending Again]

[Rank: 250 (Quasi-Emperor Ninth Layer)]

[Status: Enraged (All attributes +20%)]

[Objective: Completely destroy the Big Dipper Star Field]

[Descent Countdown: 3 seconds]

[2 seconds]

[1 second]

[0 seconds]

———

The crack exploded.

The Lord of Undying Mountain rushed out from the crack.

His left eye was still bleeding.

That was the scar left by Lin Ye's chaos sacred sword.

———

He looked down at Chaos Valley.

He looked down at those 150,000 tombstones.

He looked down at those 20,000 people kneeling in the pool of blood.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

That smile was even more hideous than before.

———

"Rank 85," he said.

"You wounded me."

"In 470,000 years, you are the first."

———

He paused.

"Therefore," he said.

"I will make you die—in the most painful way."

———

The 1st second.

He raised his right hand.

That giant hand, which blotted out the sky, slapped down toward Chaos Valley once again.

———

This time, there was no Power of All Sentient Beings Wishes.

No Big Dipper Killing Array.

No defense whatsoever.

Only those 20,000 people.

———

The 1.3 second.

Lin Ye stood up.

He raised his sword.

Upon the chaos sacred sword, the light of the seven imperial weapon projections lit up once more.

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

Seven-colored light.

Seven types of Laws.

They were simultaneously infused into this single strike.

———

He slashed out.

The sword light collided with the giant hand.

———

[Law Conflict]

[Lin Ye (Rank 85 + Seven Emperor Artifacts) vs Lord of Undying Mountain (Rank 250 + Enraged)]

[Result: Lin Ye is sent flying]

———

He was knocked back 1,700 meters.

He smashed through three mountain peaks.

[HP: 100% → 31%]

———

But he stood up again.

He raised his sword once more.

———

The 2nd second.

The second slash.

He was sent flying again.

[31% → 7%]

———

The 2.3 second.

He stood up for the third time.

But this time, he did not raise his sword.

He just looked at that 51-kilometer-tall figure.

And smiled.

———

"Rank 250," Lin Ye said.

"Come on in."

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain was stunned.

———

"The Big Dipper Killing Array," Lin Ye continued.

"Is still here."

"Do you dare to come in?"

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain's pupils contracted slightly.

He looked down.

He looked at the seven high platforms that had already collapsed.

He looked at the seven imperial weapon projections that were still glowing.

———

[Big Dipper Killing Array · Current Status]

[Formation Integrity: 0% (High platforms destroyed)]

[But the projections of the seven great emperor artifacts remain]

[If a Supreme steps into the range of the projections, the seven projections can temporarily form the "Situation of Trapping the Dragon"]

[Situation of Trapping the Dragon Effects:]

[1. Traps the Supreme for a maximum of 100 seconds]

[2. During the trapping period, the Supreme cannot move, cannot attack, and cannot use any skills]

[3. During the trapping period, all attributes of the Supreme are reduced by 50%]

[4. During the trapping period, Formation energy is consumed at a rate of 1% per second]

[5. After energy is exhausted, the seven projections will permanently disappear]

[6. If the Supreme is killed within 100 seconds, the projections can be preserved]

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain looked at those seven projections.

He looked at that seven-colored light.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

———

"Rank 85," he said.

"You think I don't dare to enter?"

———

The 3rd second.

He took a step forward.

He stepped into the range of the seven projections.

———

Lin Ye looked at that figure enveloped in seven-colored light.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

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

———

"100 seconds," Lin Ye said.

"Rank 125."

"There are 20,000 of us."

"That's enough to kill you."

———

He raised his sword.

Upon the chaos sacred sword, a gray light lit up once again.

———

The 4th second.

He rushed into the Situation of Trapping the Dragon.

Standing before the Lord of Undying Mountain.

But he still had his right fist.

He rushed into the Situation of Trapping the Dragon.

His right fist smashed into the leg of the Lord of Undying Mountain.

[projections of the seven great emperor artifacts · Permanently disappeared]

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

The seven imperial weapon projections.

Simultaneously turned into seven-colored points of light.

Scattering into the Void Realm.

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain stood in place.

His HP still had 84.9% remaining.

———

He looked at Lin Ye.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

———

"Rank 85," he said.

"100 seconds."

"You only wounded me by 15%."

———

Lin Ye did not speak.

He just looked at him.

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain raised his right hand.

And slapped down.

———

The 101st second.

That palm strike landed on Lin Ye.

———

[Damage Dealt: ???]

[Lin Ye HP: 7% → 0%]

[Forced to retain 1 HP]

[Chaos Sacred Body · Undying Passive · Triggered]

———

He knelt on the ground.

Bleeding from his seven orifices.

But he was still alive.

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain looked at him.

3 seconds.

His smile vanished.

———

"You still won't die," he said.

———

Lin Ye raised his head.

Looked at him.

And smiled.

That smile was very light.

Very faint.

———

"Rank 250," Lin Ye said.

"You cannot kill me."

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain's pupils contracted violently.

———

The 102nd second.

He raised his hand again.

———

But at that moment.

A crack opened behind him.

[Direction of the Sea of Reincarnation · Supreme Summons]

[The voice of the Lord of Reincarnation came through: "Come back, do not waste time."]

———

The Lord of Undying Mountain's hand stopped in mid-air.

He looked at Lin Ye.

3 seconds.

He lowered his hand.

———

"Rank 85," he said.

"Next time we meet."

"You will no longer have imperial weapon projections."

"You will no longer have the Power of All Sentient Beings Wishes."

"You will no longer have... anyone to help you."

———

He turned around.

Stepped into the crack.

And disappeared into the Void Realm.
