The mental energy cautiously touched the stellar storm energy outside the mothership, only making a slight contact before immediately withdrawing it.
Touching her with extreme caution, like touching your angry girlfriend, as if even the slightest touch would trigger a cataclysmic explosion!
Even with that slight touch, Leo's body temperature instantly rose by more than ten degrees.
"Losing 0.1% of mental energy is not a problem."
The intense heat caused Leo to lose 0.1% of his mental energy the moment he touched it, which was much better than the 5% loss he experienced a month ago and was well within his tolerance range.
Most importantly, the amount of stellar energy that Li Xi touched with his spiritual power was extremely small, enough for Leo to carefully comprehend.
"If we can construct the characteristics of a star's energy using mathematical models, reinterpret it from a numerical perspective, and then assemble it, we can greatly accelerate the advancement time to the Stigmata Level."
Leo immediately withdrew his mental energy after making the slightest contact, then recorded all the information he could perceive, deciphering the numerical composition of the entire star by gathering a little bit of information at a time.
Finally, after eight months, the mothership absorbed enough energy to launch Stellar Leap, heading towards another star.
The space trembled violently, as if space itself had become incredibly fragile in the face of a mothership brimming with immense energy.
Leo insisted on not falling asleep. Even inside the mothership and under its protection, Leo still felt immense pressure from the space.
He felt the intense fluctuations from the rapid jump that exceeded the distance. The spatial energy, weakened by the mothership, enveloped Leo's body, as if countless worlds were desperately squeezing him around, trying to crush Leo like a watermelon being crushed by a hydraulic press.
Instead of passively enduring the attack, Leo raised his finger and continuously wrote void runes around his body.
As the void runes appeared and disappeared, the spatial pressure on Leo suddenly decreased. He was like a fish swimming in a rapid current, skillfully avoiding the pressure on his body through physical changes.
It could also be said that Leo set up a spatial barrier on his body, using a clever and tactful method to reduce the pressure brought about by ultra-long-distance spatial jumps.
This kind of spatial magic was something Leo learned and researched on his own when he was seriously injured. His body couldn't perform much movement, but his brain wasn't affected. On the contrary, because of his limited mobility, he could think more easily and clearly. In just a hundred years, Leo's spatial magic had made considerable progress.
While he hasn't yet reached the level of unfathomable spatial magic with a wave of his hand, he has no problem with general spatial magic, and has made considerable progress, especially in inventing spatial magic based on his own knowledge.
Just like the current ultra-long-distance spatial fluctuations, Leo can also use his spatial understanding magic to alleviate his stress.
It felt like a long time had passed, yet also like a fleeting moment, before the mothership came to a stop, and the surrounding spatial fluctuations quieted down.
Leo knew that this meant they had jumped to the location of the next star. The mothership would repeat the control of the previous star, absorbing massive amounts of stellar energy to make the next jump.
As for Leo, he naturally released his spiritual power to perceive, construct, and collect information little by little, simulating stellar energy to complete the basic data analysis for his advancement to Stigmata Wizard.
Time flew by as Leo filled his wizarding notebooks; sixteen years passed in the blink of an eye.
[Attention all wizards, the mothership has arrived in outer space of the Ant God World. Prepare for battle.]
[Attention all wizards, the mothership has arrived in outer space of the Ant God World. Prepare for battle.]
[Attention all wizards, the mothership has arrived in outer space of the Ant God World. Prepare for battle.]
After three consecutive broadcasts from the mothership, Leo was able to sense that the sleeping wizards inside the mothership were awakening one by one.
"Oh, why are you awake so early? Didn't you sleep?"
Yaoyao, whom he hadn't seen for sixteen years, appeared on Leo's shoulder. He was very surprised to see Leo sitting at his desk with hundreds of notebooks filled with notes beside him.
It seems that Leo didn't fall into a deep sleep; instead, she used this time to work hard for a long time.
Yaoyao looked closely at Leo and noticed something different about Leo, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
The Godslaying Wizard Robe had the best concealment effect; even Yaoyao, his soulmate, only vaguely sensed a change in Leo.
But when asked about specific changes, they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
Is the temperature a bit high?
A fleeting red dot at the base of the eye?
"These are the prime years, a great opportunity to strive and overtake others, how can I sleep?" Leo was in high spirits. With a wave of his hand, he stuffed the fruits of his sixteen years of hard work into the Shadow Space. He rubbed his slightly tired brow, already preparing to take on the role of his bodyguard.
With the gains of these sixteen years, this bodyguard mission was not a waste of time.
The mothership shook violently, as if the tunnel boring machine had encountered the hardest rock and couldn't penetrate it no matter how hard it tried.
This is the mothership breaking through the world barrier of the Ant God World. Once the barrier is broken and the mothership descends upon the world, this medium-sized world will face its most terrifying catastrophe.
Leo continued to release his mental energy, sensing the location of the impact. On one side was a mothership carrying enormous energy, and on the other was a world barrier protecting the world.
Like a sharp spear and a sturdy shield, the point of impact saw boundless energy intertwine and collide, making it impossible to distinguish which energies were released by the mothership and which were gathered from the world barrier.
In Leo's vision of the energy world, the entire world changes into a chaotic interplay of colors. The collision of the two triggers the most magnificent aurora in the energy world, which is the ultimate manifestation of energy collision.
Leo's eyes were dazzled; even with his current strength, he still couldn't understand the energy changes at this moment!
The mothership spent five hours breaking through the world barrier. When the sound of the 'boom' echoed throughout the mothership, Leo seemed to hear a mournful cry from the world below.
This was Leo's first expedition after reaching level three strength. Although the process was the same, he was able to see many things he hadn't seen before.
It's a higher level of energy change!
[ The Ant God World's army has assembled, and the slave army is ready for battle...]
[Warship force, please prepare...]
[Battleship's main guns begin charging...1%...3%...]
Using his access privileges, Leo observed the information on the platform. He saw the moment the mothership breached the world barrier, the slave army, the warship system, and the main cannons already firing and ready.
While watching the mothership's external videos,
The video showed no yellow world at all; instead, it was an endless expanse of black, stretching from the sky to the ground, from beneath the mothership to the farthest point in the video—all black.
Zooming in, the black color isn't the color of the Ant God World, but rather an army of ants of varying sizes and strengths, so numerous that it alters the overall color of the world.
They climbed to the highest point, roaring incessantly at the mothership. Some ants, exhausted from flying, fell down and were immediately overwhelmed by the ant army. More ants flew to his position, preparing for the mothership's arrival for a fierce battle.
The way the Ant God World welcomed them was a little too enthusiastic!!
Unfortunately, they miscalculated; the mothership had no intention of landing.
[Open the fifth level and release the army of slaves...]
The mothership suddenly shuddered upwards. In the video, Leo could see that a celestial river seemed to have opened beneath the mothership, with a river of water composed of countless slave armies pouring directly into the entire Ant God World.
The ants, large and small, showed no fear or apprehension upon seeing such a massive army of slaves. Instead, their eyes turned red, and they emitted piercing cries from their mouthparts. Before the slave army could even spread out, they had already launched a frenzied attack.
Clearly, these ants saw these powerful slaves as food, and probably never imagined they would have so much food in their world.
As for danger, ants, whose primary mission is the colony, don't care about their own safety.
Neither side had any reason to retreat, so they closed the distance and began exchanging various spells. Compared to the numerous spells of the slaves, the army of the Ant God World could only unleash a few spells, releasing a red laser beam from their eyes and spewing highly corrosive acid from their mouths.
During the spell-slinging phase, although the slave army was outnumbered, its spells completely overwhelmed the ants.
A barrage of spells rained down from the sky, striking the ant army like raindrops, killing countless ants.
But for the vast army of ants that fills the entire world from the ground to the sky, the death of this number is negligible.
After exchanging spells for a few seconds, the two armies collided in mid-air, creating a vast battle zone. Countless roars and howls echoed across the intertwined battlefield.
The slave army continued to pour in, and the ant army was even more overwhelming. Both sides rushed towards the battle position, and in no time, the entire battlefield expanded to tens of kilometers.
Blood evaporated, limbs fell like rain.
Before the corpses even hit the ground, they were bitten by countless ants and secretly hidden away.
[Thirty thousand warships are ready.]
[Deploy warships]
On the fifth deck of the mothership, one after another, five-hundred-meter-long starships, each crammed with combat wizards, flew out, unleashing a barrage of small energy cannons and magic spells that didn't require aiming.
The attacks released from the warships generally deal between 10,000 and 30,000 damage, with attack power between level two and three. Each spell aims for a wide range to ensure it can cover the largest possible ant army.
Thirty thousand warships formed the center of the slave army, which was wreaking havoc in the center. The warships attacked the surrounding area, ensuring the survival of their own forces while effectively blocking the approaching ant army.
A barrage of combined magical spells swept across the area like a floor-cleansing process, inevitably clearing away a large number of these ants huddled together.
Even so, the surface of the Ant God World was still not visible, and even after the first wave of attacks, there was no sign of the ant army's numbers decreasing.
The number of these ants was greater than the Eyeless Spider in the Black Tomb World that Leo had participated in.
If the ant army that will arrive in the first battle is not wiped out, they won't even have a place to land now.
