While being chased by that Level-Five Lord of Souls, Leo had already decided to completely hide himself. He would only dare to reveal his whereabouts again after he was certain that he had completely escaped the other party's pursuit. Now he needed to hide for a while.
At the same time, he reported his situation of being chased by Level-Five Lord of Souls through the Fate Wizard Book, hoping to see if any high-level Stigmata Wizard could take action to eliminate this Lord of Souls.
He dared not reveal his whereabouts until he dealt with this pursuer.
"Don't worry, we came back from the Shadow World, he definitely won't be able to find us," Yaoyao said confidently.
Leo nodded. Once he entered the Shadow World, his whereabouts would be completely cut off, and even if the Lord of Souls wanted to find him, he wouldn't be able to. After all, he was the only life form discovered so far that could enter the Shadow World.
But just as Leo was brimming with confidence that he had shaken off the Level-Five Lord of Souls, that chilling voice rang out behind Leo once more.
However, this time, besides the chilling killing intent, there was also an irrepressible excitement in his voice.
"Wizard, you can enter the Shadow World, right?"
If it were just normal threatening words, Leo wouldn't be too surprised; at most, he would be dominated by a high level of fear.
But the other person mentioned the Shadow World, and Leo and Yaoyao instantly turned to look at the Lord of Souls they believed shouldn't be there!
The Lord of Souls showed no sign of making a move, his four eyes constantly scrutinizing Leo, but his gaze finally settled on Yaoyao.
As if confirming something, its excited expression caused its stitched lips to tear open, revealing a gaping wound. Its four eyes glowed with an eerie, blood-red light, like the red-clad demon who had borrowed your shoes that night. Its long, barbed tongue licked its entire face, and it groaned as it looked at Yaoyao, saying:
"Could this be a life form from the Shadow World?"
"Is there life in the Shadow World?"
"What a miracle!!!"
Yaoyao, like a kitten with its fur standing on end, swelled up to the size of a ball with her small, dark body. Her piercing screams of fear made Leo's ears ring.
"Run."
Something was clearly wrong. Leo gave a soft shout, which made Yaoyao realize what was happening. She grabbed Leo and disappeared again.
The Lord of Souls did not offer any resistance. Instead, he took deep breaths of the lingering scent of Leo and Yaoyao, savoring it as if it were a fine, thousand-year-old wine.
"That's it, it really is the aura of the Shadow World."
" The Shadow World,"
"Wait for me, I'll be right there,"
The Lord of Souls had four wide-open eyes, as if his eyeballs would pop out of their sockets at any moment.
Four eyes, bloodshot with excitement, searched relentlessly; he could find Leo's trail by following his scent.
He can find it the instant Leo returns from the Shadow World!!
Having confirmed that Leo and Yaoyao could freely enter the Shadow World, he was determined not to let them go.
In the Shadow World,
Yaoyao gasped for breath, still shaken. In the eyes of that Lord of Souls, he sensed a sense of danger, as if the Soul Lord wanted to devour him.
This was a fear he had never felt before. His previous opponents had at most wanted to kill him, but none of them wanted to devour him and merge him into their own bodies like he did.
"What's going on? How does he know we can enter the Shadow World?" Yaoyao was still scared, and his mind was full of questions.
"The bodies of the Lord of Souls are composed of the corpses of various powerful individuals; perhaps he acquired the same Shadow Talent ability from these corpses."
This is the most likely explanation Leo could find.
The existence of the Shadow World has long been rumored in various worlds, but no one has ever set foot there.
For every being gifted with the Shadow Talent, the Shadow World is their sacred ground, their final destination, their paradise.
The excitement and exhilaration of suddenly discovering that you can enter the holy land, enter heaven, is uncontrollable.
Just like the Shadow Walker she encountered in the Level 3 gladiatorial competition, he also saw Yaoyao as the representative of God.
The Shadow Walker simply wanted to invite Yaoyao to their world, unlike the Lord of Souls who wanted to devour Yaoyao.
Leo guessed that after he ate Yaoyao, he would most likely inherit Yaoyao's abilities.
Yaoyao is the only life form discovered so far in the Shadow World. He is the key to entering the Shadow World Shadow World, the passage to it!
"We must deal with him; we can't let him reveal the secrets of the Shadow World."
The secrets of the Shadow World are of utmost importance; no unforeseen circumstances can be tolerated.
If he were to reveal the secrets of the Shadow World, Leo would face immense trouble.
Leo and Yaoyao are practically the greatest blessing in the eyes of all beings who use the Shadow Talent; they are highly sought-after, and everyone would want them.
Leo didn't believe he was strong enough to take so many lives.
As long as we kill this Lord of Souls before he reveals the Shadow World, only the dead can truly keep the secret.
Kill him, but don't call for help, because if outsiders are present, there's no guarantee he won't tell.
Although the possibility is extremely slim, it should still be considered!
"We have to kill him! He actually tried to eat me!" Yaoyao gripped Leo's earlobe tightly, refusing to let go; he was still afraid.
Leo stroked Yaoyao's hand to soothe his frightened heart.
His eyes flashed with a cold light as he pondered how to kill a level five Lord of Souls, a feat beyond his own level.
A moment later,
Leo gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's go out and meet him."
The Lord of Souls, located in a corner of the battlefield, was still carefully searching for Leo's whereabouts. An hour later, a smile appeared on his face, and his figure quickly disappeared. He had found Leo returning from the Shadow World.
Both times Leo entered the Shadow World, he returned to the real world after a short time, clearly indicating that Leo could not stay in the Shadow World for long.
Although Leo tried to shake off his pursuit by changing locations repeatedly after emerging from the Shadow World, he had already firmly locked onto him.
It was still a battlefield, but this was the rear of the puppet army, where countless puppets, waiting to step onto the battlefield, were arranged in neat formations.
Leo, who was hiding his figure, was in the queue, seemingly hoping to conceal himself in this way.
As Leo's eyes searched anxiously, a voice filled with excitement, as if it had found its most beloved toy, rang out behind her.
"Let's merge into one; only I can unleash the most powerful abilities of the Shadow World."
"Then you should experience the power of ten hydrogen bombs first."
The moment he heard the voice behind him, the apprehension on Leo's face instantly turned into ruthlessness. With a surge of magical power, a faint energy rippled beneath his feet.
The moment the energy fluctuations emanated from underground, Leo vanished instantly. This time, Leo did not leave by Shadow Walking, but rather by anchoring his position using his shadow—a spatial jump capable of breaking the 195-kilometer distance limit.
He had just returned from the Shadow World, constantly changing positions, all to anchor a shadow thousands of miles away.
The instant Leo disappeared, the entire earth exploded with a deafening roar, sending millions of tons of soil flying into the air.
A terrifying mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and countless puppets waiting in line to go to the battlefield were instantly vaporized by the high temperature.
When the nuclear explosion ended, a crater three kilometers in diameter appeared at the center of the explosion, but the Lord of Souls had been ambushed by Leo was nowhere to be seen. He had left the place at some unknown time.
The instant Leo appeared a thousand miles away, the Level-Five Lord of Souls, like a leech clinging to a bone, reappeared behind Leo.
The terrifying pressure continued to envelop Leo, as if trying to oppress Leo in this way until Leo was driven mad.
Go to hell.
With Yaoyao her hand, Yao Yao unleashed countless black needles, all shooting towards the Lord of Souls.
But this feeble attack didn't even pierce the Lord of Souls's skin.
The Lord of Souls looked at Yaoyao, growing even hungrier; he could even hear the rumbling in his stomach.
He couldn't resist the urge to devour Yaoyao Yao whole.
A hunger that emanated from his very soul caused him to drool uncontrollably!
Just as he was about to make his move, Leo tore open the space in front of him, revealing a spatial rift connecting to a strange space.
The strange space made the Lord of Souls stop in his tracks; he sensed a dense energy aura within it.
Within the four eyes of the Lord of Souls, Leo and Yaoyao fled into the space as if their lives depended on it.
Then he wanted to close the spatial rift in order to escape his pursuit!
The Lord of Souls laughed, his mouth opening to reveal a size half his head. The fact that Leo and Yaoyao hadn't escaped into the Shadow World meant they had no better way to escape.
Reach out and grab the spatial rift, then tear it open with a little force, ripping apart the healing space.
The grotesque body crawled into the space, and the spatial damage caused by the space healing process left no trace on its body.
Seeing the panicked Leo and Yaoyao, the Lord of Souls was like a hunter who had cornered his prey in his own home, and an expression of excitement was uncontrollably spreading across his face.
He seemed to see a bright future ahead as he stepped into the Shadow World, a path to the pinnacle of a higher level of life!
But just when he thought he had Leo and Yaoyao completely under his control, he didn't notice that after he climbed into this strange space, the spatial rift behind him suddenly closed.
The panicked Leo and Yaoyao put away their expressions and replaced them with the indifference of looking at a dead body.
An indescribable aura emanated from Leo's body, and Leo's voice became serious and solemn.
"In my name, you will see no light here, only darkness!"
"In my name, you will lose your hearing here, and your world will fall into eternal silence!"
"In my name, you cannot breathe here; there will be no air around your body!"
"In my name, you will not be able to absorb any energy here; all energy will leave you!"
