"How about we go down the Black Soluo clone route?"
With no way to return safely, Leo had no choice but to choose the most risky but also the fastest route.
"We need to protect ourselves first, and wait for the right opportunity."
When Leo mentioned the clone Black Soluo, Yaoyao knew what Leo meant.
As long as Black Soluo leaves the area radiated by the Returning Breath World Will, Leo can appear beside Black Soluo through the Shadow Plane, which is equivalent to directly stepping out of this area.
This method doesn't waste any time; it can be completed in just a few breaths. The biggest problem is that Black Soluo must leave this place first, getting out of the sight of the other Lord of Souls.
However, Black Soluo is currently carrying out a mission in the Returning Breath World, surrounding other Stigmata Wizard, and it is impossible for him to act alone and escape from the radiation range.
The plan can only be executed after the war in this region ends and Black Soluo has time to act freely.
What Leo needs to do during this time is to protect himself and not be captured by the Lord of Souls.
"This method is a bit risky, but it's the most effective of all. Keep Black Soluo ready to execute it whenever the opportunity arises."
Leo left a message for Black Soluo in his sea of consciousness, then stepped into the shadows, covering a thousand miles in a single step, rapidly advancing towards the War World.
Actually, there is another way.
Leo, Yaoyao, and Black Soluo all knew, but none of them said anything.
That means Leo can't hide in the Shadow Plane. The Shadow Plane is located in the middle layer between the real world and the Shadow World. These Lord of Souls definitely can't find Leo, which is safer than any other method.
Similarly, once Black Soluo leaves the territory of the Returning Breath World, Leo can be released and allowed to leave.
However, this method has a major drawback: once Leo enters the Shadow Plane, he completely loses the initiative. If Black Soluo dies unexpectedly, Leo will be trapped in the Shadow Plane.
Leo would not use this method unless absolutely necessary, so since all three of them were aware of this, they preferred to put Leo in danger rather than bring it up themselves.
After clearing the battlefield, Leo disappeared into the shadows and continued rapidly toward the War World.
Leo didn't intend to use the Shadow Walking return to the Thousand Pools World; doing so would take at least three thousand years.
Faced with pursuers behind him, Leo had no choice but to run as fast as he could to buy himself as much time as possible.
He escaped into the universe for several months without a single pursuer appearing, as if the Returning Breath World couldn't accurately pinpoint his location.
Just when Leo thought there was a problem with the way the Returning Breath World locked onto his location, Black Soluo told him that it was because the Returning Breath World didn't have enough troops to chase him.
All the Lord of Souls those World Lord who were being manipulated, were gathered elsewhere, preparing to ambush the Stigmata Wizard who were fleeing en masse.
In Black Soluo's words, they had over four hundred Stigmata Wizard, while Leo only had one.
Everyone knows where to deploy all forces, especially since Leo is a formidable Stigmata Wizard who cannot be defeated without two Level-Six Lord of Souls.
Dealing with Leo would require two Level-Six Lord of Souls or an equivalent force, but placing the same force with them could achieve far greater results.
Therefore, there were no extra pursuers to chase Leo. For a low-level Lord of Souls to chase him would be suicide, and for Lord of Souls to chase him would be too much of a waste of combat power.
Let Leo run for a while. Once the fighting there is over, there will be plenty of ways to capture Leo.
Black Soluo only recently learned that when the Returning Breath World was simulating how to deal with the fleeing Stigmata Wizard, they had prepared a group of pursuers. However, due to the shortage of Lord of Souls, they simply did not have enough troops to carry out the first round of pursuit.
Knowing that this was the reason there were no pursuers, Leo almost laughed out of anger at himself.
He was fully prepared for pursuers and had prepared several contingency plans, only to be told that there weren't enough pursuers and he should be allowed to run for a while...
"That's good. When they finish their battle and come to capture us, Black Soluo will have time to help us escape."
Yaoyao and Leo both laughed. The Returning Breath World didn't know he had an avatar, Black Soluo, nor did they know he could travel through the Shadow Plane.
If they had known, they definitely wouldn't have given Leo more time to run.
That tiny time difference was enough for Leo to escape from the encirclement of the Returning Breath World.
With the life-threatening crisis already more than halfway through, Leo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his chest. He focused more of his attention on Black Soluo, and on the most powerful battle about to erupt between the two World Cluster.
According to the information received by Black Soluo, of the original 1,200 Stigmata Wizard, 432 remained after being heavily attacked by the Returning Breath World. They had completed their regrouping and were rapidly advancing towards the location indicated in the Fate Wizard Book.
These Stigmata Wizard knew about the undercover operation, and they also knew that a large number of Lord of Souls were waiting for them along this route. They knew that the Returning Breath World could control the World Lord, and they also knew that the Returning Breath World could precisely pinpoint the location of every Stigmata Wizard.
This information was terrible for the Stigmata Wizard. The Wizard World had initially held the upper hand in terms of intelligence, but the Returning Breath World had unexpectedly turned the tables and trapped them all.
Although it is a terrible time, it also means that both sides know each other's intentions. Rather than wandering around aimlessly, it is better to follow the route provided by the War Command.
Their route was completely exposed to the Lord of Souls; it didn't matter which way they went.
At the very least, there are Supreme Lord coming to meet us along this route.
As long as we fight to the death, break through the ambush of the Lord of Souls, and reunite with the Supreme Lord, we can return to the War World.
As for how many Stigmata Wizard will die during this process...
Aren't enough people dying already?
The Returning Breath World abandoned its pursuit of the group of 432 Stigmata Wizard, allowing them to swagger freely within the Returning Breath World's radiation zone.
An ambush had already been set up ahead of the route; all that was needed was for them to slip in.
As for the Supreme Lord who came to meet them from the Wizard World, the Returning Breath World also sent its Supreme Lord to block them.
Everyone knows that the greatest battle between the two World Cluster is about to begin, and the location has already been chosen.
During this process, the War Command also contacted Leo through the Fate Wizard Book, hoping that Leo could join the army of Stigmata Wizard and break through the siege together.
However, Leo told them that his mothership had been destroyed and he had barely escaped from his pursuers, so he was unable to rejoin the army of Stigmata Wizard.
Upon hearing Leo's statement, the War Command did not require Leo to arrive immediately, nor did it dispatch a mothership to pick Leo up.
In this sudden turn of events, no fewer than twenty Stigmata Wizard have lost their ability to return due to the lack of a mothership, and Leo is not an isolated case.
The fate of these Stigmata Wizard, left behind within the sphere of influence of the Returning Breath World, seems already sealed!
Although Leo is known as an invincible Elemental Body Tempering Stigmata Wizard of the same level, he still finds it difficult to break through the Lord of Souls's defenses without a mothership.
In the Returning Breath World, where every Stigmata Wizard can be accurately located, sending anyone to rescue Leo is tantamount to sending that Stigmata Wizard to their death.
The only chance for survival now lies with that army of Stigmata Wizard. Only a large-scale operation like theirs could possibly guarantee the survival of a portion of the Stigmata Wizard.
Through his contact with the War Command War Command, Leo could clearly sense the somber mood within them.
Eight hundred Stigmata Wizard Stigmata Wizard have already perished in this battle, and now who knows how many more will die among the remaining ones? Regardless of whether there are spies present, the War Command bears the greatest responsibility for this mistake.
Leo tore a small opening in the Shadow Plane, allowing him to directly monitor Black Soluo's situation through Shadow Plane. At the same time, he also sent a portion of his consciousness into Black Soluo's body, observing the battle through Black Soluo's perspective.
The battle there not only involved the deaths of over four hundred Stigmata Wizard, but also Leo's survival.
After their battle, it will be time for Leo to return.
Within this star field where the Returning Breath World has set up its defenses, there are over six thousand Lord of Souls and two hundred World Lord who are under control.
The data is alarming.
However, in reality, more than 4,500 of the 6,000 Lord of Souls are newly promoted Level-Four Lord of Souls.
Without these 4,500 Level-Four Lord of Souls, the original Lord of Souls the Returning Breath World would only number around 1,500.
The war has continued to this day, reducing the original power of the Returning Breath World by 70%, leaving only a small amount of power here.
Just as Black Soluo said, the Returning Breath World had emptied its coffers and used all its forces to intercept the more than four hundred Stigmata Wizard who were fleeing, to the point that even Leo could not spare enough power.
The Supreme Lord also mobilized, but it's unknown how many were sent; it's likely there were quite a few.
All the Lord of Souls were waiting; they could pinpoint the exact location of every Stigmata Wizard and had already calculated the timing of the battle.
This is a war where everyone's strength is in the open. The other side knows exactly who has what strength, down to the level of each individual and what kind of impressive achievements they have made in the past.
For the Returning Breath World, they must defeat these four hundred-plus Stigmata Wizard to weaken the Wizard World's combat strength and buy time for their subsequent advancement as Lord of Souls.
They have a large enough number of Level-Four Lord of Souls, but they don't have time to grow stronger, which is the most fatal problem for the Returning Breath World.
