The Black Skull's soul cannot be completely erased yet. The knowledge within his soul is the final treasure, a culmination of the combined knowledge systems of the two World Cluster. It can perfectly control the World Lord, and he is the only one of his kind in both World Cluster.
Both he and Black Soluo possess the foundations of two major World Cluster. If he can find a way to extract the knowledge from Black Skull's soul, he can inherit Black Skull's ability to control the World Lord.
"Impressive, even Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard can be easily defeated."
Yaoyao emerged from a spatial rift torn open in the Shadow Plane on the other side. Looking at the dark clouds and rhomboid crystals in the sky, she was surprised that the Shadow Plane alone could handle a Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard. This was far more powerful than during the previous small space period.
"He was unlucky; he actually tried to attack the soul. If his soul hadn't been damaged and the witchcraft hadn't backfired, the Shadow Plane wouldn't have been able to take him down so easily."
Leo looked at the Shadow Plane. At this moment, the energy concentration in the plane was less than 30% of that before the war, and it would take a considerable amount of time to return to its original level.
When Leo was at level four, he used the Shadow Plane to kill a Level-Five Lord of Souls. Now at level five, he has again killed Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard with the help of the Shadow Plane.
If it weren't for the Shadow Plane, Leo would have had a hard time killing the Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard. Even if he could defeat him, he wouldn't have been able to kill him, let alone extract the most important part—his soul.
"You stay on the other side. I'm going to check on things in the Returning Breath World to see if things are going well," Leo said to Yaoyao.
Leo's plan was to have these Body Refinement Stigmata Wizard take over the Returning Breath World and attribute the victory of conquering a World Cluster to the Body Refinement School, thereby maintaining the balance of power between the two schools. However, none of those people had level six combat power, so there were still many variables.
"The situation is much better now than before, so what's there to worry about?"
Compared to Leo's worries, Yaoyao saw things very clearly. As long as the situation was better than the worst, she would be satisfied.
The Fate Wizard Book has been sealed, and they have many ways to return safely to the Wizard World; their own safety is no longer a concern.
Leo and Yaoyao parted ways and returned to this large world. The violent energy had not yet subsided, and the seemingly simple battle turned the area within tens of thousands of kilometers upside down.
Leo lightly touched the ground with his feet, Shadow Walking and directly piercing through the world barrier, covering a thousand miles in a single step as he sped towards the homeland of the Returning Breath World.
The two worlds may seem close, but that's relative to the distance between celestial bodies. Leo's Shadow Walking tens of thousands of steps before approaching the Returning Breath World plane.
Leo did not pass directly through the barrier of the Returning Breath World. Instead, he stood outside the barrier and looked through it into the interior. He could see countless huge rotating clouds raging wildly Returning Breath World's native land.
The aura emanating from these clouds was that of the Stigmata Wizard he had previously released from their seal.
What made Leo stop was not these Stigmata Wizard, but the aura of the three that filled the entire Returning Breath World.
This is an aura that cannot be sensed from Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard; it is a terrifying energy that surpasses even Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard!
" Supreme Lord,"
Leo murmured to himself, those Body Refinement Stigmata Wizard really weren't exaggerating; they did indeed summon the Supreme Lord. He just didn't know which two they had summoned.
The third Supreme Lord was a person from the Returning Breath World. He was completely suppressed in a two-on-one battle, and his aura could only maintain one-fifth of the Returning Breath World's area, which was also gradually shrinking.
One could sense from his aura that he wanted to move the battlefield outside the Returning Breath World, but he was always stopped by the two Supreme Lord of the Wizard World.
The combined auras of the three Supreme Lord full power were utterly intertwined, which would be devastating to any plane.
Even though the Returning Breath World is capable of supporting Supreme Lord, each outburst from these Supreme Lord tears countless lives apart.
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, all the seeds within the Returning Breath World used to advance to the Lord of Souls will inevitably perish; not a single one will survive.
The more than six hundred Stigmata Wizard unleashed their full aura. They had no rivals. The Returning Breath World was indeed as the intelligence stated; there was no Lord of Souls. They were doing this simply to protect themselves in the battle between the three Supreme Lord.
If it weren't for the need to completely conquer the Returning Breath World, these Stigmata Wizard would have already fled, running as far away as possible.
The situation in the Returning Breath World had met Leo's expectations, and there were no unexpected events. With a slight movement of his consciousness, he descended upon his clone Black Soluo.
Previously, in order to break the seal on more than 600 Stigmata Wizard, and also in battle with the Black Skull, Leo was delayed for too long and didn't know what the battlefield was like there.
Did the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard wielding the Sword of Winter lead the remaining Stigmata Wizard to successfully escape?
As his consciousness squeezed into Black Soluo's body, it felt like returning home. Black Soluo sensed Leo's arrival, parted his body to share his vision, and quickly showed Leo his memories after returning from the black vortex.
At that time Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, wielding the Sword of Winter, cut down Level-Six Lord of Souls as easily as cutting a tender cucumber. Black Soluo only managed to escape the Undying Body Sword Bearer Stigmata Wizard.
When Black Soluo returned to the battlefield through the black vortex, he saw that the Undying Body had led more than a hundred Stigmata Wizard and more than seventy motherships to break through the defenses built by more than four thousand Lord of Souls.
Amidst the roar of the Level-Six Lord of Souls commanding an attack, none of the other Lord of Souls dared to advance, only daring to follow behind the Stigmata Wizard, symbolically unleashing a few magical attacks.
As for truly fighting to the death against Undying Body that is blinded by rage, not a single Lord of Souls dared to step forward.
The Undying Body killed over seven hundred Lord of Souls in less than five minutes, starting with the highest-ranking ones.
While this number wasn't as high as the Lord of Souls killed in the previous days' battles, the sharpness of the Sword of Winter was undeniable; every strike claimed at least one Lord of Souls, regardless of level or whoever attacked.
The Lord of Souls can fight desperately, even exchange lives with these Stigmata Wizard, and perish together, but they cannot sacrifice their lives to further enhance the reputation of the Sword of Winter.
Even a blind man could see that Undying Body wielding the Sword of Winter was beyond the reach of numbers; dying by this sword would be meaningless.
Forget about rushing over to intercept them; even getting a little closer would result in being instantly killed by the Sword of Winter!
Since they couldn't stop the last remaining Stigmata Wizard from escaping, they simply pretended to retreat, retreating thousands of miles whenever the Undying Body showed any sign of turning back to fight back.
The sight of this battlefield made the Level-Six Lord of Souls commander grit his teeth, but he was helpless. If all the Level-Six Lord of Souls ahead of him hadn't died under the Sword of Winter, he wouldn't have had a chance to command.
So when Black Soluo returned to the battlefield after avoiding the initial onslaught, he followed far behind the Lord of Souls's group, so far away from the Stigmata Wizard who broke out of the encirclement that he almost couldn't see them anymore.
According to other Lord of Souls, 123 Stigmata Wizard eventually escaped the encirclement. Including the more than 600 Stigmata Wizard were unsealed, out of the 1,200 Stigmata Wizard who participated in this expedition, a little over 700 survived and less than 500 died. This is much better than the previous numbers.
Although the loss of 500 Stigmata Wizard is still a relatively large number, it is far better than the previous loss of 1,000 Stigmata Wizard.
When the encirclement was first set up in the Returning Breath World, there were more than 6,000 Lord of Souls. Now, only 4,000 remain, with more than 2,000 killed, a third of whom died under the Sword of Winter.
This terrifying, murderous aura emanates from a cosmic treasure, causing Lord of Souls to avoid it at all costs!
Although the number of Lord of Souls died was greater than that of the Stigmata Wizard, each of them wore a victorious smile, as if they had achieved the final victory in the war against the Wizard World.
They were unaware that the Returning Breath World had been invaded by Stigmata Wizard and that a battle had broken out between Supreme Lord.
If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have made that face!
"Cease the pursuit, everyone come forward, prepare to teleport."
The Level-Six Lord of Souls shouted in a hoarse voice, the sound reverberating through the minds of every Lord of Souls.
Leo could hear anxiety, panic, and a murderous rage in his voice.
Black Soluo slid his eight claws rapidly. Seeing the anxious look on the Level-Six Lord of Souls, he knew that news of the invasion of the Returning Breath World's homeland had reached them, and they now needed to return to the Returning Breath World's homeland to provide reinforcements.
" The Lord of Souls cannot directly teleport into the mainland of the Returning Breath World; he can only teleport to outside the world barrier first. You can block the black vortex."
"It will take half an hour to activate the black vortex, that should be enough time for you to handle it," Black Soluo quickly told Leo in his mind.
"No problem, I guarantee not a single Lord of Souls will be able to enter the Returning Breath World. The world barrier will be their graveyard." Leo smiled, these Lord of Souls who rushed back to reinforce the area had no idea what awaited them.
As his consciousness returned to his body, Leo transmitted a message through his mental energy to the Body Refinement Stigmata Wizard within the Returning Breath World.
Immediately, all six hundred+ Stigmata Wizard rushed out of the world barrier, and upon seeing Leo, they were overjoyed, "You've dealt with the pursuers behind you?"
The pursuers they were referring to were those Leo covered for them before the Great World parted ways.
"No, the one who teleported over was the traitorous Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard. Although I'm quite strong, I'm no match for him. It was quite dangerous, but I don't know why he suddenly left, which is why I was able to come out alive."
Leo did not hide the fact that Black Skull Stigmata Great Wizard, and it was impossible to conceal anyway. The battlefield aura between the two of them was so strong that anyone who went to check would know who Leo had fought with.
