The nuclear explosions continued.
The high pressure caused by more than three thousand times the Gravity, the extreme high temperature, and the extremely fast-moving tritium and deuterium atoms...
High temperature, high pressure, and high velocity—given a sufficient number of atoms, this is a simple nuclear fusion device.
Similar to the Hand-Rubbed Atomic Bomb magic invented by Leo at level three, this is now Hand-Rubbed Hydrogen Bomb, or you could call it Artificial Sun.
Based on the Power of Laws, its body cannot be easily broken like Hand-Rubbed Atomic Bomb.
Its sturdiness is so great that even a level 5 life form cannot break through it!!
"Let's see how long he can hold on."
Leo crushed the magic ring on his finger, releasing a mountain of energy crystals, as well as a large amount of energy-containing materials that his three thousand shadows had collected over the years.
Yaoyao also waved his little paws, continuously pouring out a large amount of supplies from his little treasure trove. At this moment, he was not stingy at all, and wished he could take out an energy crystal to crush this hateful Lord of Souls who wanted to eat him.
These supplies appeared in the Shadow Space, and with a wave of Leo's hand, they were all pulverized and transformed into pure energy to replenish the Shadow Space, slowing down its energy consumption.
One by one, the magic rings were crushed, and mountains of resources appeared, only to shatter again and transform into pure energy.
Now it's a contest of resources and the depletion of the Lord of Souls's last bit of soul; it's a battle of who can outlast whom.
Fifty nuclear fusion generators within the Shadow Space never cease operation, converting the energy produced into elemental energy within the shadow.
Nuclear fusion was also constantly occurring within Leo's body, transmitting excess energy into the Shadow Space. Even though this amount of energy was negligible compared to the overall consumption of the Shadow Space, Leo did not miss any opportunity to replenish it.
Godslaying Staff into the soil beneath his feet, its roots digging deep into the earth. Energy emanating from the Godslaying Staff flowed like water into the Shadow Space.
Leo stared at the sun within the confined space, a cold smile playing on his lips, for he could sense the Lord of Souls's last vestiges of soul will rapidly weakening.
He still has plenty of resources; at worst, he'll abandon all the rare plants and animals in the entire Shadow Space and wear you down.
40%...35%...30%
When the energy concentration in the Shadow Space dropped to 30%, the last vestige of the soul's will could no longer withstand the continuous nuclear fusion attack.
He vanished from Leo's complete perception!
He was probably unwilling to accept it.
He never imagined that a level 5 life form like himself would die at the hands of a level 4. If he had known it would end like this, he would have killed Leo instantly the moment he first appeared behind Leo, without giving Leo any chance to escape.
Throughout the battle, he had countless opportunities to kill Leo, but due to his absolute confidence in his own strength, he didn't take Leo seriously at all, which resulted in Leo using the Power of Laws to kill him in the end!
Upon the death of the Lord of Souls, he immediately waved his hand to remove all the blessing of the Power of Laws, ceasing the consumption of energy in the Shadow Space.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Relax your tense nerves and breathe in the air freely.
During the battle, Leo dared not even catch his breath, terrified that a single oversight on his part would allow the Lord of Souls to turn the tide.
"We won! We won!" Yaoyao shouted excitedly, finally killing the wicked thing that wanted to eat him.
Leo smiled.
Just as Leo was about to check if there was any damage to the Shadow Space, a change occurred in the area where he had just removed the Power of Laws.
A scene appeared at the spot where the Lord of Souls had just been imprisoned, like a movie playing on a large screen.
However, what's playing now isn't a movie, but some strange and bizarre images.
Inside the bright, snow-covered mountainside, rows of white insect eggs hung upside down, with creatures constantly wriggling inside. Some eggs were ready to hatch, and ugly, bluish insects crawled out of them.
After these insects crawl out of their eggs, they first eat the outer membrane of their own eggs. Once they have finished eating the outer membrane, they crawl toward other eggs and devour these unhatched eggs by tearing them apart.
There are tens of thousands of insect eggs inside the mountain, but only a few hundred blue insects will eventually hatch.
These hundreds of blue insects devoured all the eggs in the mountain's belly, then they sized each other up without exchanging any words, as if genetic information from the depths of their souls drove them to fight each other directly.
When only one remains alive, this blue worm will devour all the other worm corpses.
With no food left to devour, the blue worm, now more than ten times its original size, slowly flew away from the mountain.
Flying out of the mountains, he could see countless other mountains identical to the one beneath him, from which insects emerged, all flying in the same direction.
These mountains are more like a nurturing cradle for life, a home where they first grew.
Because the insect had only recently hatched, its flight speed was very slow; the entire scene showed it still flying for several tens of minutes.
Leo reached out and waved his hand, just like dragging a progress bar, to speed up the progress.
The playback speed immediately increased, and when a large number of various creatures landed in the same forest, it seemed to awaken the body's memories again, and it began to fall into a new round of fierce battle.
The fighting here is far more brutal than before; these newly arrived insects are the weakest of the bunch.
Leo sped up the progress bar again, and could see that the blue worm had completed its metamorphosis after countless years of battle!
His body was no longer insect-like, but a bizarre creature fused with dozens of other races.
However, the four eyes on his head were enough for Leo to recognize him.
This blue worm was none other Level-Five Lord of Souls that Leo had just killed using the rules of the Shadow Space!
What we are playing now is his life story from birth!
His soul died completely in the Shadow Space, and everything was to be absorbed by the Shadow Space.
But little did he expect that his entire life would be laid bare before Leo!
"So this world is the original world of the Returning Breath World," Leo said slowly, carefully observing the scene.
Leo was extremely interested in worlds on par with the Wizard World. Most importantly, he wanted to study the methods these Lord of Souls used to manipulate souls, or rather, all knowledge about souls.
Alice's physical body is still intact, but her soul was killed by the same attack they used. If we can crack the secret of their manipulation of souls, we might be able to find a way to resurrect Alice.
The scene accelerated under Leo's control. On the screen, Leo saw the growth process of this Lord of Souls, as well as the growth process of other beings in the Returning Breath World.
It's very simple: just kill your way through, take all other life forms, and seize all their resources—their bodies, their souls, everything they have.
As long as you kill enough, eat enough, and absorb enough, you can grow stronger along the way.
As for the mysteries of their souls, Leo did not witness any process by which this Lord of Souls had learned any knowledge.
By constantly absorbing other abilities, more skills will be revealed in later battles, and each time it is absorbed, its strength will inevitably increase a little.
His physical body was constantly changing; whenever he encountered a stronger body, he would cut off the more powerful parts and piece them onto his own.
Apart from their souls remaining unchanged from beginning to end, their physical bodies are rarely preserved for more than a few years.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, this Lord of Souls stood atop the mountain peak, slaying a powerful opponent and absorbing all the souls of him and his clan. The Lord of Souls then broke through to level four.
I've taken the most important step in my life!
Leo frowned as he watched this scene. Because the scene was progressing too quickly, he couldn't determine the exact time when this Lord of Souls advanced to the fourth level, but it was probably between 600 and 800 years ago.
This time is twice as fast as his!
Leo believed that his advancement speed was already quite exaggerated in the Wizard World, and almost no wizards could break his advancement time record.
However, this Lord of Souls's advancement time was only about half that of mine.
If this Lord of Souls is a genius who appears only once in ten thousand years, then his rapid advancement is understandable.
However, if this is not the case, and it is merely the general level of advancement time for Lord of Souls in the Returning Breath World, then the number of Level 4 and above in the Returning Breath World would far exceed that of Stigmata Wizard.
Based on previous Fate Wizard Book and the information about the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard, it can be seen that the number of Lord of Souls is greater than the number of Stigmata Wizard.
It not only has more members than the number of Stigmata Wizard, but also more members than the combined number of Stigmata Wizard and World Lord.
Therefore, this Level-Five Lord of Souls is not a once-in-a-millennium genius; he is just an ordinary Lord of Souls!
Under such rules in the Returning Breath World,
They could simply fight their way up, killing and devouring everything in their path, breaking through barriers at an astonishingly rapid pace.
In times of crisis, they can rely on this method of accumulating resources to launch a terrifying mass production of troops, and the troops produced will all be terrifying level four beings.
Within the limits of what their souls can withstand, they can accelerate their advancement to the fastest possible speed!
This is a terrifying threat to the wizards on this battlefield!
Even a hastily acquired level four is still level four. They may not be as strong physically, but their soul strength is at level four, and their attack power is incomparable to that of lower-level life forms.
After advancing to level four, the Lord of Souls, like those in the Wizard World, could not remain in their own world. With the help of other Lord of Souls, he traveled to the world surrounding their World Cluster.
The part about learning to control puppets is what Leo wants to see.
Because it was only a playback of images from the soul, and not an immersive experience, Leo couldn't understand many parts and could only guess based on what he saw.
