"If you put it that way, I have reason to suspect that you have other Lord of Souls lurking outside this world," Yaoyao seized on his weakness and immediately retorted.
"... I see that's all the Stigmata Wizard are capable of; you're too afraid to face our challenge."
The Lord of Souls paused for a moment when Yaoyao, clearly flustered, but still tried to find other reasons.
"Right now, there's only one of us, and there are eight of you. Why should we accept your challenge? If you're so capable, wait until our Stigmata Wizard arrives, and then we'll have a one-on-one duel," Yaoyao Yao shouted.
Hearing Yaoyao's words, Leo actually relayed the order to the Interstellar Wanderer, telling them to come over.
When the four Interstellar Wanderer arrived, Yaoyao and the Lord of Souls were still arguing across the world barrier.
As for the world barrier in the middle, the Lord of Souls as if he didn't see it. The amount of cursing and their attacks were completely inversely proportional. The louder the cursing, the smaller the attack. After fighting for a long time, let alone them getting in, even a toe would have a hard time getting in.
" Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, do you see if they have Lord of Souls lying in ambush?" Leo asked Golden Eye Piercing Illusions.
Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Eyes immediately scanned the area outside the world barrier carefully, searching thoroughly several times before saying to Leo, "Captain, I didn't see any Lord of Souls lying in ambush."
As soon as Golden Eye Piercing Illusions uttered those words, Yaoyao's curses grew louder, as if Golden Eye Piercing Illusions's words gave her more confidence.
However, a fleeting look of disdain crossed his eyes as he glanced at the Level-Six Lord of Souls deep within the universe!
"Very good. Since there are no Lord of Souls lying in ambush, these eight will be yours to deal with. It's a rare opportunity to gain merit in battle," Leo said with a smile.
Golden Eye Piercing Illusions: "... Thank you, Captain."
Interstellar Wanderer, Blue Dragon Heluoluo, Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard: "Thank you, Captain!"
The Lord of Souls beyond the World Barrier: "..."
This is different from their deduction process!
"I will now open a rift in the world barrier for you."
As Leo spoke, he gently raised his finger and pointed it at the spatial rift where the Lord of Souls was located, his magical power circulating within his body.
Tritium and deuterium in the water in front of the world barrier are rapidly converging and undergoing fusion in an instant.
" The Tritium-Deuterium Fusion Great Witchcraft!"
"Boom boom boom"
With a series of deafening explosions, ugly holes were instantly blasted into the world barrier by Leo's fingertips. As Leo moved his finger, the location of the nuclear explosions shifted, and the distance the world barrier was breached rapidly increased.
When the tear was long enough, Leo nodded slightly to the four people behind him, and amidst their admiring gazes, he instantly charged towards the outside of the world barrier.
They simply don't have the ability to tear apart the world's barriers at will!
"Hehe, you're so naughty."
Seeing that the four of them were already fighting with the eight Lord of Souls, Yaoyao whispered something in Leo's ear.
Leo smiled without saying a word. Whether it was the Lord of Souls or the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, they both had their own ulterior motives, so it was perfectly normal for Leo to treat them this way!
His gaze was fixed on the battlefield, but out of the corner of his eye, he was subtly watching the depths of the universe, keeping a close eye on the Level-Six Lord of Souls and his movements.
As expected, he did not break through the cosmic barrier. The Level-Six Lord of Souls did not appear but continued to hide in the depths of the universe. The deaths of those Lord of Souls did not elicit any reaction from him.
The cracks in the world's barrier are slowly healing.
Seeing that it had healed, Leo tore it open again, ensuring it was long enough for the Interstellar Wanderer to retreat quickly.
This time, Leo did not directly annihilate these Lord of Souls. If he wanted to do that, he would have done it long ago, and there would have been no need to send the Interstellar Wanderer over.
Rather than killing a few Lord of Souls, he was more interested in seeing if he could make any further discoveries.
As the battle raged, casualties had already occurred. The Sword Bearer had instantly killed a Level-Four Lord of Souls with a single strike, and with another strike, instantly killed another Lord of Souls.
With just two simple sword strikes, he killed two Level-Four Lord of Souls!
Interstellar Wanderer and Blue Dragon Heluoluo only had to deal with two Level-Five Lord of Souls, and they held a complete advantage, forcing the two Level-Five Lord of Souls to retreat continuously.
Meanwhile, at Golden Eye Piercing Illusions's location, the man wielding the giant hammer still showed no sign of unleashing his Bloodline True Body. Instead, he created thousands of clones, engaging in a protracted war of attrition with the Lord of Souls.
However, what appeared to be a protracted war of attrition was, in Leo's careful observation, revealed that the two Level-Four Lord of Souls fighting against the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard, just like the two Level-Five Lord of Souls, were constantly drawing the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Mark Wizard deeper into the universe.
Even the Sword Bearer, while chasing the Lord of Souls, unknowingly drifted further and further away from the world barrier.
"Snort,"
Leo snorted coldly. Regardless of whether this was the idea of that Level-Six Lord of Souls or Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, Leo would not let them succeed!
If you want to run, then don't run!
With a light tap of his finger on the battle-bound Lord of Souls, he instantly locked onto the moisture within their bodies.
" The Tritium-Deuterium Fusion Great Witchcraft!"
One of the Level-Four Lord of Souls, who was guiding the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard towards the depths of the universe, was suddenly subjected to a massive explosion.
"Boom"
A massive fireball appeared, engulfing not only the nearby Level-Four Lord of Souls but also thousands of Golden Eye Piercing Illusions clones.
Once the fireball disappeared, the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard ran back to the World Barrier, looking somewhat disheveled.
He was smart. Regardless of whether Leo had seen through his scheme, returning immediately after Leo made his move was the best way to clear his name!
Leo pointed his finger at the Level-Four Lord of Souls Sword Bearer.
Lock in body moisture
Tap your finger lightly,
A giant fireball reappeared, and Leo casually wiped out the two Level-Four Lord of Souls!
As for the two Level-Five Lord of Souls led the Interstellar Wanderer and Blue Dragon Heluoluo into the depths of the universe, after seeing Leo make his move, they completely ignored the Interstellar Wanderer and Blue Dragon Heluoluo. After barely breaking free from their attacks, they disregarded the risk of injury and quickly flew into the depths of the universe.
They actually ran away!
The Interstellar Wanderer and the Blue Dragon Heluoluo wanted to give chase; one-on-one, they could easily defeat these two Level-Five Lord of Souls if they caught up. But then, Leo's voice immediately appeared in their minds.
"Stop chasing, come back."
The four returned, the world barrier healed, and Leo stared silently in the direction the Level-Five Lord of Souls had fled.
After a moment of silence when the two Level-Five Lord of Souls did not return, Leo said to Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, "I suspect they have an ambush. Golden Eye Piercing Illusions, take another look."
"Okay, I'll take another look."
All eyes were fixed on Golden Eye Piercing Illusions. This attack by the Lord of Souls was indeed highly problematic; the hasty manner seemed to be handing over battle merits to them for nothing.
After carefully examining the area several times, Golden Eye Piercing Illusions shook his head, "I still don't see them, only those two Level-Five Lord of Souls."
"Maybe I'm just overthinking it. I just feel like these Lord of Souls are behaving a bit strangely, like they're rushing here to their deaths."
Leo appeared to be watching the direction the two Level-Five Lord of Souls had fled, but he was still keeping an eye on the hidden figure out of the corner of his eye.
Leo still remembered that back in the Purple Gold World, his Golden Eye Piercing Illusions of those Lord of Souls, whose hiding distances were much greater than those of the Level-Six Lord of Souls.
Therefore, it is certain that there is no situation Golden Eye Piercing Illusions; rather, he deliberately concealed it.
He asked twice, and the result was the same each time. It was obvious that he wanted the ambush by that Level-Six Lord of Souls to succeed!
"The most crucial thing now is to eliminate the puppet army within the world. There's a world barrier here; they won't be able to get in so easily. You all go and carry out your missions first."
Leo waved the four of them away, and after standing high in the air for a long time, he also left.
He stood there for a while, watching as the two Level-Five Lord of Souls, after concealing themselves, quietly joined up with the Level-Six Lord of Souls.
After the three of them met, they did not leave, nor did they attempt to tear open the world barrier again; it seemed they were planning their next move.
Although they are in the universe, there are no longer any Level-Four Lord of Souls among them; fifth- and sixth-level soul masters can certainly survive in the universe.
Back on the mothership, Leo and Yaoyao looked at each other, seemingly without exchanging words, but in reality, they were having a silent conversation.
Yaoyao asked, "What exactly does he want to do?"
Leo: "I don't quite understand either. I used to think it was to recruit us, but now it seems like they don't intend to recruit us at all. It's more like they want to use us as a tool to kill us."
Yaoyao questioned, "If they wanted to kill us, it would have been best to strike at level four. Why did they only show it at level five?"
Leo nodded. "You're right."
"He's not killing us, but it doesn't seem like he's recruiting us either, so what exactly does he mean?"
Leo kept tapping the Godslaying Staff with his fingers. Now he was certain that Golden Eye Piercing Illusions definitely had a purpose for him, and a very big one at that, much bigger than the Body Refinement School recruiting him. In just six years since the war started, Golden Eye Piercing Illusions had deceived him twice on crucial intelligence.
If he hadn't been able to see those hidden Lord of Souls, he might have fallen into his trap at any time.
Especially this time, the one hiding is Level-Six Lord of Souls, who could definitely cause him some damage.
Moreover, Golden Eye Piercing Illusions has such a powerful background and an unclear relationship with the Supreme Lord. Leo doesn't understand what he has that would make the other party want to scheme against him.
"There's no use guessing like this. Why don't we try to follow his lead? In the end, he'll definitely reveal his true intentions," Yaoyao suggested.
"The method you mentioned..."
"It's a bit dangerous... but it's worth a try."
Leo looked beyond the world; the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions Stigmata Wizard's current goal was to make him fight that Level-Six Lord of Souls.
