Once they conquer the Returning Breath World, they will have the right to claim victory over the Returning Breath World Cluster. They can then use this title to occupy the Returning Breath World. No matter how much the Elemental Wizard School colludes with the Returning Breath World, they will have to admit their achievements.
Although the loss of over three hundred Stigmata Wizard was an unprecedented and significant blow to their Body Refinement Wizard School, they still enjoyed the resource supply of an entire World Cluster, allowing them to maintain a firm advantage over the Elemental Wizard School.
"Let's go now."
Several Stigmata Wizard pulled out starships, which they had collected before being captured to cope with the cosmic environment.
With the starships on board, they could quickly reach the Returning Breath World, and the few severely injured Stigmata Wizard could rest on the ships.
More than six hundred Stigmata Wizard, making no attempt to conceal their auras, moved together, causing even a large world to tremble uncontrollably under their terrifying pressure.
Just before they reached the world barrier, Leo stopped and looked towards the other side of the world. Although he couldn't see anything in sight, he knew that was where the black vortex was.
" Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard, what have you discovered?"
The Body Refinement Wizard now greatly admires Leo. Although Leo Leo is not a member of their Body Refinement Wizard School, his every move carries significant weight.
It wasn't just his reputation from the previous battlefields and his identity as Elemental Body Tempering Stigmata Wizard, but also his bold and meticulous rescue of everyone this time, and the way he provided them with a way to turn defeat into victory at the most crucial moment.
Without Leo, their tragic fate would have been unimaginable.
"A Lord of Souls discovered what was happening here and has come after us,"
Leo looked at these Stigmata Body Refinement Wizard, "I'll be responsible for holding off the pursuers. The task of conquering the Returning Breath World's homeland is yours."
"How about we leave a few people behind to help you?" The Stigmata Body Refinement Wizard suggested, worried that Leo would have to hold off the Lord of Souls alone.
"Instead of keeping people to help me, it's better to conquer the Returning Breath World as quickly as possible. Remember my contributions, and try to earn more merits for me later."
"Trust me, if I can't win, I can run. Even if Level-Six Lord of Souls comes, I can hold them off for a while. If I leave someone to help me, it might cause trouble."
Leo unceremoniously expelled all the Stigmata Body Refinement Wizard from the world barrier, and these Stigmata Body Refinement Wizard did not continue to argue with Leo about leaving any manpower behind.
These were people who had lived for thousands of years, and they understood that Leo was right. Rather than wasting manpower here, it would be better to quickly take over the Returning Breath World.
With their abilities, they really can't help Leo; they can only hold Leo back.
" Atomic Control, you must protect yourself. When the war is over, we'll have a good drink together."
"No problem."
Leo smiled as he saw all the Stigmata Body Refinement Wizard off, but when Leo turned around and looked at the location where he had discovered the anomaly, his face instantly filled with murderous intent.
A powerful pressure emanated from the black vortex, second only to the pressure Leo had felt from several top-tier Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard. The newcomer was also a top-tier level six expert!
A dark cloud drifted rapidly from afar. When the view became clear, it was no longer a dark cloud at all, but rather a collection of countless skulls composed of souls. Because of their sheer number, they obscured the light, making them appear as a dark cloud.
A pair of enormous red beams emerged from the black cloud formed by countless skulls, first looking at the hollowed-out mountain range, and then shifting to Leo was hovering high in the sky.
Despite feeling the pressure of the gaze from the Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard, Leo showed no fear, meeting the gaze of the enormous eyes that shone with red light from within the dark clouds.
"Respected Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard, it's been a long time." Leo grinned menacingly, his teeth flashing with a cold, razor-like light as he spoke.
Do you know me?
A voice came from the dark clouds. As the voice appeared, countless skulls scattered, revealing a giant figure a thousand meters tall in the center of the dark clouds. The giant was middle-aged and had a pair of cold eyes that were full of wisdom but had no emotion whatsoever.
"Of course, I am the lover of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard's apprentice. I even went on an expedition to the Black Tomb World with you. It's just that I was only a Level One Lesser Wizard back then, so it's normal that you, as Level-Five Stigmata Wizard, don't remember me."
Leo stroked the Godslaying Staff in his hand, as if recalling the happy days when he and Alice went on expeditions together.
"The lover of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard's apprentice?"
"So it's someone I knew before. You're the one who released those Stigmata Wizard I sealed away?" The Black Skull didn't care about Leo's identity at all. He searched through his memories but couldn't find any information about Leo. He only cared that his precious test subjects had been released by Leo.
"I let him go, Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard, how do you intend to punish me?" Leo smiled coldly.
"Then you can stay and be my guinea pig."
With a casual wave of his hand, the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard summoned six Level-Five World Lord in the sky, their eyes occasionally flashing with numbness as they manipulated puppets.
"Go, bring him to me."
The Black Skull pointed at Leo, and six World Lord instantly charged towards Leo.
Six Level-Five World Lord against a single Stigmata Wizard of the same level— the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard seemed to have already determined the outcome of the battle.
His gaze shifted beyond the world barrier, landing on the starship heading towards the Returning Breath World.
There were over six hundred Stigmata Wizard, a significant portion of whom were Level-Five Stigmata Wizard. Although he was Level 6, he dared not rush forward alone; that would not only be retrieving his own experimental subject, but also sending himself to his death.
If he had the strength to deal with over six hundred Stigmata Wizard on his own, he wouldn't have needed to hide for so many years; he would have gone out on his own long ago.
If he had all the World Lord puppets under his control, he would dare to bring back these escaped Stigmata Wizard.
Unfortunately, the puppets are all on the battlefield!
Just as Black Skull was watching his precious experimental subject disappear into the distance, a series of violent explosions suddenly came from afar.
The Black Skull turned its gaze.
He witnessed the six Level-Five World Lord he had just dispatched being completely overwhelmed by an attack method he couldn't comprehend.
The boundless light and heat obscured his ability to probe the condition of the six World Lord, but sensing the explosive energy—an attack exceeding 3 million points—he could see...
This is damage that even Level-Five World Lord cannot withstand!!
Sure enough, after the explosion, the six Level-Five World Lord he had just sent out were completely wiped out, leaving nothing behind.
"I never imagined that in all these years since I left the Wizard World, such a genius like you would emerge. How about joining me? We can do anything here, without being bound by the rules and regulations of the Wizard World."
Six Level-Five World Lord died, yet Black Skull acted as if the loss wasn't his own, and even wanted Leo to join him.
"No, if I cooperate with you, I would be betraying my lover." Leo smiled, but the uncontrollable killing intent within him twisted his face.
" Stigmata True Body Vajra Giant Bloodline, activate!"
With a roar, Leo transformed into a 600-meter-tall silver giant, his nearly 100-meter-tall hand gripping the Godslaying Staff, and countless bolts of lightning appeared.
" Black Skull, you will pay the price for your mistakes."
"Boom boom boom"
Vajra Giant roared in anger, countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, densely packed like a forest of lightning, crashing down on the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard surrounded by countless skulls.
Faced with the attack of the Vajra Giant, the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard remained remarkably calm. As he swung his arm, skulls collided with the lightning bolts descending from the sky, unleashing powerful energy shocks.
"Although I don't have much access to outside intelligence, I do know that another Elemental Body Tempering Stigmata Wizard has emerged in the Wizard World. He recently advanced to level five and is called the Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard,"
"Is this your name?"
The usually calm Black Skull suddenly broke into a smile when he called out Leo's name.
That smile was exactly the same as the expression Golden Eye Piercing Illusions every time he saw Leo back then!!
"That's right. If you want to put me on the lab table, you'd better show some real skills, otherwise don't blame me if I beat you to death."
The Vajra Giant's magical power surged even faster, and the lightning power enveloping the Black Skull suddenly doubled, shattering the skulls that the Black Skull used to defend against the lightning layer by layer.
Seeing the skull explode, the Black Skull was not angry but delighted. "Hehehe, as expected of Elemental Body Tempering Stigmata Wizard, your attack power is more than twice that of a normal level. If I had you as my test subject, my research would be even more successful."
The expression on Black Skull's face as he looked at Leo completely changed, becoming greedy and yearning. The Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard, who seemed to be just like a normal life form, had already changed. He had become mad for his research, had already abandoned everything, and was completely lost in his own obsession.
The Vajra Giant raised his finger, and a gale immediately howled, with countless drops of moisture in the air converging towards the Black Skull.
" The Tritium-Deuterium Fusion Great Witchcraft!"
When enough water had gathered, Leo unleashed his magical power, instantly plunging the area around the Black Skull into a terrifying nuclear fusion.
Leo continuously manipulated the moisture in the air to force it into the nuclear explosion zone, accelerating the fusion explosion under his control with a low roar.
The kilometer-long Elemental True Body of the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard and all the skulls he controlled were enveloped by continuous fusion explosions, as if they were being controlled within a small star.
The Vajra Giant kept drawing moisture from the surrounding air, frantically compressing the internal space, trying to kill the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard with an endless nuclear explosion.
"Not bad attack. The Elemental Body Refinement Wizard truly lives up to his reputation as invincible among those of the same level."
Just as Leo was controlling the fusion process, enveloping the entire Black Skull Black Skull like a star, a nonchalant voice of praise came from inside the fusion reactor.
