The puppet army not only launched a frenzied attack on the wizard's defenses, but also spared Leo and his men.
After accurately locating Leo and his group, a puppet army enhanced to the limit of level three managed to tear through a trap stretching for hundreds of miles using their superior physiques, leading a mighty force of puppets towards them.
Various magic arrays and traps that deal tens of thousands of damage are completely ineffective against these level three ultimate puppets. Although they can cause some damage, the sheer number of them is almost negligible.
It wasn't just a squad of level-three ultimate puppets, but an army of level-three ultimate puppets, numbering over 500,000. Leo had never seen so many level-three ultimate puppets before, either in terms of intelligence or in the Gran World.
The method for cultivating a Level 3 Ultimate Puppet has already been cracked; it involves using a method similar to raising a Gu (a type of insect) to fuse a large number of souls together.
Initially, they merged in pairs. After a successful fusion, they continued to merge until they reached the limit of their souls.
Once the fused souls reach the third-level limit strength, their bodies are also strengthened to the third-level limit. Finally, the two are fused together to form a third-level limit puppet created later.
The process itself is not difficult, nor is the theoretical knowledge. The difficulty lies in ensuring that the soul does not collapse during the fusion process, in which case the process can be completed smoothly.
According to some wizards' discussions and research, to successfully fuse a level three ultimate puppet, at least 300,000 level one souls are needed, and even that number doesn't guarantee success, as each fusion attempt is accompanied by numerous failures.
Compared to normal promotion, this kind of fusion-based, artificially created third-level limit does not require spending time to advance step by step, nor does it require consuming a lot of resources. As long as you survive each fusion, you will complete the transformation from the first level to the third level limit.
The Wizarding World contains detailed instructions on the experimental procedures. Leo even bought a copy and took a look. Although the level three ultimate puppets he created were indeed quite powerful, the cost was too high, making them unsuitable for widespread use.
Apart from Returning Breath World Cluster, which are primarily based on souls, other worlds would not choose this method of cultivation.
"They've really gone all out."
Leo looked at the 500,000 level-3 ultimate puppets; this was the method that the Returning Breath World had released to restrain them.
In their numerous battles against Leo, they had come to a profound understanding of Leo methods; it was impossible to restrain Leo without at least ten Lord of Souls.
If so many Lord of Souls are used to restrain Leo, then the Manluo World's capacity of twenty Level 4 slots will be filled.
If we do that, the Manluo World will lose its ability to mobilize its forces, so what's the point of restraining Leo then?
Therefore, they could only use these level-three ultimate puppets in conjunction with as few Lord of Souls as possible to restrain Leo and his group.
The Level 3 Ultimate Puppet is the strongest power second only to the Lord of Souls, and even Level Four Stigmata Wizard cannot completely underestimate it.
Their role was to keep Leo and his men firmly pinned down on the wizard's defensive line, preventing them from deploying troops to cause disruption.
It has to be said that they succeeded. With those 500,000 level 3 ultimate puppets, if Leo and his group hadn't made a move, they could have completely swept through the entire wizard defense line.
Even if only two World Lord were defending here, they would still die at the feet of these Level 3 Limitless Puppets.
Although Level 4 is stronger than Level 3, once the number of Level 3 people exceeds a certain level, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. It is likely that no one here, except Leo, dares to underestimate them.
"We can't let them get close to the defensive line, otherwise it will be quickly breached. Move in," Leo said in a deep voice.
" Stigmata True Body: Boiling Blood Giant Bloodline, Activate!"
" Stigmata True Body, Earth Giant Bloodline, Activate!"
Leo and the Boiling Blood Tyrant Body Stigmata Wizard instantly activated their Bloodline True Body and charged towards the army of 500,000 level-3 Limitless Puppets.
The Flame Condensation Stigmata Wizard gripped his staff tightly, rapidly chanting incantations no one could understand.
Under his chanting, the entire sky turned red!
The two World Lord had already followed Leo and the Boiling Blood Giant into the puppet army.
With three Stigmata Wizard present, they dared not utter a single word; they had to do whatever the Stigmata Wizard said.
The wizard army did not move; their primary objective was to deal with the ordinary puppet army. Using them against these level three ultimate puppets would be a waste.
Only a portion of the level-three slaves followed in the footsteps of the Stigmata Wizard and charged into this incredibly powerful army of ultimate puppets.
" Gravity, lightning, friction, energy absorption, Energy Disorder, high temperature, flame, soul imprisonment, soul transfer, activate!"
The Earth Giant flicked his finger, and nine domains had already enveloped the bodies of these level-three ultimate puppet armies.
The level-three ultimate puppets did not instantly turn to ashes as one might expect. Instead, they were suppressed by the power of the domain and unable to move. Although they were enduring various attacks, they remained steadfast within the domain.
Several seconds later, the level-three limit puppets, enveloped by the power of the domain, began to die and burn, turning into ashes.
This was the first time Leo had encountered such a difficult creature to kill while slaughtering low-level level four beings.
The sound of high explosives exploding echoed within his body, and intense nuclear fusion was already generating energy, supplying Leo to unleash his domain power to its fullest extent.
The Earth Giant let out a low growl from deep within its throat, and immense magical power surged forth from its body. The ultimate power of its domain instantly unleashed a devastating attack on these level-three ultimate puppets.
The power of the domain swept across, and the nearly 100-meter-tall level three limit puppets were completely unable to stop it, and were killed in large numbers!
Upon their death, the energy within their bodies is absorbed by the Energy Absorption Domain and transferred to other fields.
With so many battlefields, Leo only needs to provide the energy to activate them, and the subsequent domains can basically operate independently.
Of course, Leo wouldn't let go of the souls of these puppets. He had already created dozens of Soul Tower in his Shadow Space, just waiting for these puppet souls to fill them.
As the massacre raged across the realm, Leo raised his Godslaying Staff, his inner power surging rapidly, countless bolts of lightning crackling within his puppet army.
As the power of thunder approached its maximum concentration, the Earth Giant roared.
"Thunderous Meteor Grand Spell!"
In an instant, countless bolts of lightning exploded within a radius of tens of thousands of meters, the deafening roar causing the entire space to tremble.
All the puppet army within the range, whether level one, level two, or level three ultimate puppets, were blasted to pieces by the power of thunder.
Leo's attacks were relentless, his domain combined with thunderous sorcery to repeatedly ravage and kill the puppet army.
The Boiling Blood Giant, wielding an extra-long, eerie curved blade, unleashed a storm of blade energy that slaughtered the puppet army, which he saw as utterly defenseless.
Even a level three ultimate puppet couldn't last ten seconds in his sword aura storm before being completely torn to shreds.
The Flame Condensation Stigmata Wizard unleashed his fire-attribute magic. It was as if a world of fire had descended, with countless fireflies, no bigger than raindrops, falling from the sky like a beautiful meteor shower in the night.
However, behind the beauty lies an unimaginable deadly danger; even the slightest spark that touches the puppet will instantly turn it into a torch.
The low-level puppets would be completely incinerated within a single breath, and even the highest-level level three puppets wouldn't last more than ten seconds!
Among them, the two World Lord were the weakest in attack, and were surrounded by tens of thousands of level three ultimate puppets. Although they were killing frantically, their attack and movement range were completely suppressed.
The attacks from the Level 3 Limitless Puppet continued to strike them. At first, the two of them were able to resist by relying on their powerful energy, but after only a few minutes, the two World Lord were constantly being forced to change direction by the attacks.
Simply put, they couldn't withstand so many level 3 extreme attacks.
Given enough time, these level-three ultimate puppets could wear down the two World Lord simply by sheer numbers.
"You go help those two, I'll deal with those five Lord of Souls."
Seeing that the two World Lord were at a disadvantage, Leo had no choice but to send the Boiling Blood Giant to rescue them.
With the Boiling Blood Giant and the Flame Condensation Stigmata Wizard present, along with two World Lord, they can completely withstand these Level 3 Limitless Puppets.
Leo was going to deal with the five Lord of Souls. After arriving with their puppet army, they did not choose to confront them head-on, but instead hid among the puppet army.
The Lord of Souls's ability to conceal himself, a technique almost everyone possesses, makes him difficult to detect when a large army of puppets appears.
Those Lord of Souls previously believed they held an absolute and overwhelming advantage, which is why they swaggered through the puppet army.
Now that Leo's strength has been fully revealed, these Lord of Souls have become wiser and no longer confront Leo head-on, choosing instead to hide.
Their mission was not to kill as many wizards as possible, tear apart the wizard defenses, or kill Leo, an evil wizard who was notorious even among the Lord of Souls, but to restrain Leo and his group.
If they can keep them occupied, they will have succeeded.
As long as they hide and don't show up or get discovered, like a sword that hasn't been drawn from its sheath or a bullet that hasn't been fired, they are at their most threatening. In that case, Leo wouldn't dare to make any big moves. That's a blatant threat!
In order to find them, Leo repeatedly fought his way through the puppet army, using his domain power to cover as much area as possible, hoping to find the five Lord of Souls hidden among them.
Unfortunately, after several hours of mass killings, not a single one was found.
"They're incredibly good at hiding things."
Of the 500,000 level-3 ultimate puppets, 200,000 were killed, and the five Lord of Souls showed no sign of coming out.
They let Leo and his men slaughter the puppet army without showing any remorse.
They were determined not to come out no matter what happened.
As for the few puppets that die, there will be plenty more later; it doesn't matter how many die.
