As doubt crept into the Black Skull's aura deflated like a punctured balloon, rapidly and drastically decreasing.
The magical attack that the Vajra Giant had been subjected to vanished as his aura plummeted to the bottom.
The hundreds of thousands of skulls that relentlessly attacked the Vajra Giant seemed wilted, like eggplants struck by frost.
The attacks became feeble, and the teeth biting at the Vajra Giant's body made only a faint clicking sound.
"Hahaha, backlash from witchcraft! Master, you're already at level six, how could you make such a basic mistake? It makes me, a junior, look down on you."
The Vajra Giant, now freed from its movement restrictions Godslaying Staff, and as if summoned, all the moisture in the air condensed on its skull.
" The Tritium-Deuterium Fusion Great Witchcraft!"
In a low growl, each skull was a tiny star, and at the instant the nuclear explosion began, all the skulls were once again engulfed by infinite light and heat.
Sensing the violent explosion of energy, the Black Skull, weakened by the backlash of the witchcraft, quickly restored its depleted magical power.
His body retreated rapidly, while plumes of black smoke surged from his body, seemingly endlessly transforming into hundreds of thousands of skulls, preparing to deal with the Vajra Giant's counterattack.
Leo had only superficially learned the knowledge the Black Skull once possessed, yet he was able to control over a hundred million souls even at level four.
Black Skull is Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard has been advanced for thousands of years, and no one knows how many souls he possesses.
Judging from his ability to unleash hundreds of thousands of skulls without hesitation each time, even if Leo didn't eat or drink for months, he couldn't completely eliminate the skulls in his body.
The Black Skull stared intently at the epicenter of the nuclear explosion and the shadows behind it. He had just used his own soul to try and extract Leo's soul.
But he grabbed something, and that thing sliced off his soul from his hand.
The backlash from the witchcraft, along with the loss of his soul, were the reasons why the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard's aura had weakened and his strength greatly diminished.
However, what is a deadly threat to a low-level wizard is just a temporary decrease in strength for someone of his level. As long as he can withstand the period of decreased strength, he can still continue to suppress Leo.
Black Skull frowned. The power of the nuclear explosion had interfered with the limits of his perception, preventing him from locking onto the Vajra Giant at the epicenter of the blast.
The last time I fought the Vajra Giant, it used a nuclear explosion as cover, hiding in my shadow to ambush me.
This time, the Black Skull unleashed all its senses, not missing any changes in its surroundings.
Suddenly, the Black Skull felt a sudden heaviness in his body, a muffled groan escaping his throat. He quickly tapped his staff against the air to support himself, his movement speed decreasing. Every cell in his body was enduring an immense Gravity Gravity —more than two thousand times the normal gravity.
The moment the two-thousandths of Gravity appeared, a continuous stream of negative status effects began to appear on his body: spatial solidification, spatial confinement, dark vision, energy isolation, Energy Disorder, high temperature, lightning, hearing deprivation, olfactory fluctuations, soul imprisonment... and so on.
The direct suppression of over forty negative status effects caused the Black Skull, still suffering from the backlash of the sorcery, to let out weak gasps.
"Master, please come with me."
The Vajra Giant didn't launch a sneak attack; instead, it appeared before him, and a spatial rift, like the gaping maw of an abyss Vajra Giant, opened behind it.
Suppressed by too many negative status effects, the Black Skull could only vaguely sense that the other side of the spatial rift was a complete world, but could not perceive exactly what kind of world it was.
His body surged with magical power, attempting to counteract the numerous negative effects, but the Vajra Giant waved his hand, and the spatial rift swallowed both the Vajra Giant and himself into it.
The Vajra Giant, residing in the Shadow Plane, gasped for air, Vajra Giant all the energy of the entire dimension converged into its body.
The user's use of power, which had just exceeded the balance of magical energy, caused his magical energy to be consumed rapidly. Even the rapid replenishment through nuclear fusion within his body could only slow down the rate of consumption, but could not guarantee the balance of magical energy.
At this moment, within the Shadow Plane, the rapidly decreasing mana finally stopped declining due to the Shadow Plane's unlimited replenishment.
The Black Skull's aura had been suppressed to its lowest level. He was suffering from the backlash of witchcraft and more than forty negative status effects. Under such suppression, a hint of panic and unease finally appeared on his usually indifferent and contemptuous face.
His senses were suppressed by multiple domains, making it difficult for him to control the outside world. He could only sense that he had been taken to a strange world by the Vajra Giant.
The skulls inside his body were released little by little. Although they were suppressed, the Black Skull continued to use its magic to release the skulls one by one, trying to buy itself some time to recover.
The skull that had just emerged from his body was also suppressed by more than forty domains. Although many of these domain powers had no effect on skulls, which are soul-type entities, the remaining domain powers were enough to render them unable to move, unable even to open or close their mouths.
Through their soul connection, the Black Skull clearly sensed that the skulls he had released lay lifeless on the ground. Even with his strongest commands, he could only make a few skulls tremble and fly up, the slowest of which could only outrun a snail. His expression grew increasingly grim.
Leo felt his omnipotent power within the Shadow Plane, watching the Black Skull still trying to find a way to resist.
Li Xi raised his finger and lightly tapped the Black Skull. An invisible force from the Shadow Plane flowed down from Leo's finger and onto the Black Skull.
"In my name, I strip you of all your magical power;"
"Boom"
A burst of dense energy suddenly shot out from the Black Skull, releasing it throughout the entire Shadow Plane. At the same time, the Black Skull's aura weakened again, threatening to drop below level six.
What did you do to me?
Black Skull's expression finally changed drastically. He clearly felt that the magic power in his body was completely out of his control and was being forcibly sucked out of his body.
Moreover, the power that descended upon him was actually... the Power of Laws!!
That's impossible!
Even Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard like him couldn't possibly wield such power!
At the same time, due to the suppression of the domain's power, he could no longer absorb energy from the outside world, which meant that Leo was forcibly stripping him of his magical power.
If an Elemental Stigmata Great Wizard loses his magic power, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others?
The soul fluctuations contained the Black Skull's resentful and incredulous voice, but Leo didn't explain anything to him; the power of the Shadow Plane's driving Power of Laws required consuming energy from the dimension.
Now, by forcibly attacking a Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard using the Power of Laws of the Shadow Plane, the energy in the dimension is decreasing at an astonishing rate.
Even with the mana drawn from the Black Skull's body to drive the rules, it's still far from enough.
"Bang"
Finally, the Black Skull's aura dropped to level five. With its mana greatly reduced, the Black Skull's ability to resist was weakened by more than half. This made it much easier for Leo to manipulate the rules of the Shadow Plane, and the rate at which energy in the dimension decreased was also greatly slowed down.
Furthermore, due to the decrease in the Black Skull's mana level, the same Power of Laws can draw out more mana.
"Bang"
The Black Skull's magical aura plummeted to level four, and at this level, the Black Skull completely panicked.
Having a high realm but lacking magical power greatly reduces his strength. Based on his current strength, he is very likely no match for Leo.
But before he could even panic for a few seconds...
"Bang"
His aura had already dropped to level three.
At this moment, the Black Skull, suppressed by more than forty domain powers, was instantly pressed to the ground and unable to move.
"In my name, I strip him of all his soul except himself;"
"Boom"
Before the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard could struggle, countless souls rushed out of his body and, guided by Leo, all entered the Soul Tower.
Each Soul Tower can hold 20 million souls. After Black Soluo advanced to level four and controlled hundreds of millions of souls, more than a dozen Soul Tower became empty. Now, with the souls replenishing from Black Skull's body, the Soul Tower are being filled one by one.
Leo initially built nearly two hundred Soul Tower, which could hold a total of over three billion souls. It's unknown how long it would take Leo alone to fill so many Soul Tower.
Even after using the power of the Shadow Plane Power of Laws to extract all the souls from the Black Skull's body, and filling all the Soul Tower, there were still a large number of souls that had nowhere to go.
It can be said that the more than 3 billion souls contained in the Soul Tower are only one-tenth of the total number of souls in the Black Skull, and there are still more than 20 billion souls floating in the sky Shadow Plane.
"In my name, I grant you the right to roam the high skies of the Shadow Plane;"
Leo pointed to all the souls that had nowhere to go and placed them directly in the uppermost part of the Shadow Plane, forming a thick layer of black clouds.
If you don't look closely, you can't tell that there's anything special about this dark cloud. Only when you get close can you see that it's filled with countless souls drifting around.
Leo's gaze returned to the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard, who was being suppressed by the power of the domain.
At this moment, the aura of this Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard was extremely weak; he could be easily crushed with just a finger.
Black Skull's eyelids twitched, as if he wanted to open them and say something to Leo, but the suppression of his domain power prevented him from even lifting his eyelids.
Leo didn't give him any chance to speak. The same principle applies to the good guys: villains die from talking too much. Who knows what other abilities Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard might have? Strike while the iron is hot and finish him off.
The finger tapped out again.
"In my name, I strip you of your soul;"
"Boom"
A soul, identical to the Black Skull and seemingly materialized, was pulled out of the Black Skull's body.
Leo's eyes flickered slightly. The ground where the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard's body had been was rolled over, and his body had been buried deep underground. Only a wizard's ring flew into Leo's hand.
"In my name, I grant you this seal;"
"Boom"
A rhombus-shaped crystal appeared out of thin air, instantly sealing the Black Skull's soul within it, as if frozen, keeping the Black Skull's soul frozen in the last moment before it was frozen.
