No one can resist the allure of cosmic treasures, just as no bear can resist the sweetness of honey.
Leo watched the image projected by 006: a thousand level-five or higher powerhouses were fighting fiercely in front of the Hundred-Page World. Although the number of people was not as many as the more than six thousand who fought during the Returning Breath World, the level of damage was much higher.
After all, most of those were forcibly promoted Level-Four Lord of Souls, while the battles before us are all elite level five or higher powerhouses from various World Cluster.
Every powerful individual here would be a renowned and awe-inspiring figure outside, but here they are just average.
The fiery roars of the Purgatory Demon swept across the entire Hundred-Page World, seemingly burning all the World Cluster Hundred-Page World it to death. Their ferocious and terrifying expressions of rage showed that almost every Purgatory Demon was using methods to stimulate their potential and enhance their combat power.
The Crystal Giant, completely unfazed by the flames of the Purgatory Demon, charged directly towards the bottom of the Hundred-Page World. Like mighty overlords with immense strength, their powerful giant hands dragged the Hundred-Page World away.
Their fully crystalline bodies granted them unimaginable defensive capabilities; this was the first time Leo had seen a defensive ability from other races that could rival Indestructible Body.
Instead of directly vying for the body of the Hundred-Page World, the Stigmata Wizard and the Lord of Souls launched a frenzied attack on the Purgatory Demon and Crystal Giant.
From a wizard's perspective, as long as they defeat all their opponents, the Hundred-Page World is theirs without any need to fight over it.
They didn't consider the difficulty of directly confronting two major World Cluster at all.
It extinguished the flames of the Purgatory Demon, knocked away the Crystal Giant that wanted to move the Hundred-Page World, and firmly blocked the powerful beings of the two World Cluster, preventing them from getting any closer to the Hundred-Page World.
The relentless attacks forced each powerful individual to unleash their full strength. A level-five Purgatory Demon was blasted apart, and the entire space erupted into a massive fireball with a diameter exceeding a thousand kilometers, instantly engulfing the two Lord of Souls and a Crystal Giant nearby.
This was a suicidal move; fueled by their anger, they were prepared to die!
Similarly, when a Stigmata Wizard dies, a curse spell using his own life as a medium takes away two opponents. Even the Crystal Giant, whose defense amazes Leo, turns into flowing water under the curse.
There are five major World Cluster in total, and this place gathers most of the power of four of World Cluster.
Only the giant beasts of the Myriad Beasts World Cluster did not come to compete for the Hundred-Page World; instead, they devoted all their strength to the battle for the Horn of the Dragon.
For them, no cosmic treasure, however good, is more important than the Horn of the Dragon.
The Supreme Lord were also vying for it, but they were too fast and their attack energy was too high. Leo couldn't see them at all. He could only see the endless, surging tide of energy, as if it were sweeping from one side of the universe to the other, carrying everything in its path and causing them to fight against each other.
If a level 5 expert is accidentally hit by an attack from the Supreme Lord, they will be instantly erased without even a chance to react.
Just like when Leo faced the attack of the Supreme Lord before, he had no ability to resist at all. If it weren't for the Little Bookworm No. 006 saving him at the critical moment, he would have been dead for a while now.
The Horn of the Dragon's thousand dragon souls were exhausted in less than half an hour, rendering the Horn of the Dragon powerless to resist. Its golden body drifted helplessly in the universe, waiting for the final winner to be decided.
"Why don't I see the Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body?"
Yaoyao looked at all the projected images and suddenly realized that she couldn't see the two people. They were nowhere to be seen on either of the two battlefields.
Given their combined strength with the Metal Module, capable of contending with Supreme Lord, they would have the power to alter the course of any battlefield they entered.
Not only the two of them, but also the other members of their Mutual Aid Society's Stigmata Wizard were nowhere to be seen; it was as if they had all vanished.
Upon hearing this, Leo quickly searched, but indeed couldn't find them; they weren't in any of the scenes.
"I know where they are,"
Little Bookworm No. 006 shook his body, and more images were projected into his eyes. In these images, Leo saw Beast Blood Boiling and Undying Body, as well as Falling Stars and Interstellar Wanderer.
The Falling Stars, and their movements were clearly visible. They traveled across the shattered Dragon World planes, collecting the last remaining undamaged Dragon World materials.
While powerful beings from other World Cluster are vying for cosmic-level treasures, these people are picking up these unwanted Dragon World materials.
Meanwhile, Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body were on a fragment of the Dragon World continent that was completely collapsing. Their bodies merged into the earth's strata, as if they were searching for something.
"Are they mining?" Yaoyao asked, looking at the two people with their butts sticking out on the screen.
"They're searching for the last remaining World Will of the Dragon World. Advancing to the Supreme Lord level requires the will of World Cluster. As long as they can absorb the primal power of the Dragon World, they can take back the Wizard World and the Wizard Will to exchange for the Wizard World's primal power," Little Bookworm No. 006 explained with a smile.
"While the Horn of the Dragon and the Hundred-Page World are desirable, there are only two, and the ultimate winners will undoubtedly be the Supreme Lord and us. Their decision not to compete for the treasures but to seek the primal power of the Dragon World is the truly wise one."
As expected of someone who dared to create their own school just as the two major Wizard World were about to go to war, it seems they knew about the Dragon World all along and were preparing for this day.
They may seem like scavengers from a broken world, but in terms of the value of the resources they ultimately acquired, no one can compare to them.
"However, two-thirds of the Dragon World's primal power is in my body, and only one-third of the remaining primal power is left. Maintaining the Dragon World over the years has consumed a lot of it, so even if they can find the Dragon World's primal power, there won't be much left." Little Bookworm No. 006 looked at the two people on the screen and said regretfully.
The Little Bookworm No. 006 knows the situation in the Dragon World best, so what he says must be correct.
Seeing the two struggling to find the source of the Dragon World's power but ultimately gaining little, Leo could only let out a smug laugh.
" Tower of Elements, you've gone too far!" A roar that echoed through the Hundred-Page World drew Leo's attention from the Beast Blood Boiling back to the battlefield.
A Crystal Giant, seemingly reaching to the heavens and standing upright, supported a black mountain peak. With his roar, the black mountain peak rapidly grew larger, as if being inflated.
"What, Old Man Shi? You can be arrogant, but I can't make a move? This cosmic treasure doesn't have your name on it."
Opposite the black mountain peak, a 107-story wizard tower, shimmering with seven-colored light, was also rapidly expanding.
Although Leo was not at the center of the battle between the two cosmic-level treasures, the projected images still showed turbulent spatial fluctuations.
Like two large, turbulent bodies of water colliding, everything around them was quickly annihilated before anything even happened.
One after another, enormous, towering Crystal Giant appeared beneath the black mountain peaks, among them the Stone Heart Rock Supreme Lord had previously fought against Beast Blood Boiling.
The powerful energy fluctuations made it impossible for Leo to see them clearly; he could only make out that there were seven Supreme Lord on the side of the Crystal Giant.
Here in the Tower of Elements, illusory figures also appeared, their flowing wizard robes and staffs causing the entire space to tremble with their powerful energy fields.
These are the Supreme Lord of the Wizard World, but only four of them are here. Including the Tower of Elements, there are only five. Although they are not as numerous as the Crystal Giant, their imposing presence is in no way inferior.
Not far away, there were three more Supreme Lord of Purgatory Demon radiating red flames. Without the support of cosmic-level treasures, and being the fewest in number, they could only wander on the edge of the two opposing Supreme Lord groups, fearing that rushing into the battlefield would make them the target of concentrated fire.
The thousands of level 5 and 6 powerhouses from the four major World Cluster who had just fought around the Hundred-Page World,
Upon seeing that the Supreme Lord had even brought out a cosmic-level treasure, and realizing the situation was unfavorable, they instantly shifted the battlefield, leaving it to these most terrifying and powerful beings.
"Roar"
A roar ignited the war. The figures of the Supreme Lord were completely invisible on the screen; only the constantly trembling space and the ever-shaking Hundred-Page World.
What do we do now?
Looking at the screen where she couldn't see anything, Yaoyao asked Leo and Little Bookworm No. 006.
The Supreme Lord was clearly enraged, and it was anyone's guess what kind of mess he would make of the battlefield.
"Fifteen different Supreme Lord auras are invading my body, but they are already locked in a fierce battle before they can even penetrate my surface. Now is not a good time to teleport," said Little Bookworm No. 006.
"Are you sure this place is completely safe? That they can't get in?"
Leo inquired about the safety of the little blue Little Bookworm again. He couldn't leave the battlefield until the invading energy dissipated, so his biggest concern was safety.
"Don't worry, unless they don't want this cosmic treasure to be violently destroyed, they won't be able to get in at all." Little Bookworm No. 006 said proudly, squinting his beady eyes.
"Leaving a mark is only the initial recognition. To completely complete the binding, further energy assimilation is needed, which will take quite a while. Since they haven't invaded your body yet, I will perform deep energy assimilation from within your body." As Leo spoke, he transferred energy into the Hundred-Page World beneath his feet.
"No problem, as long as I don't let their energy in, they won't be able to detect our actions."
The Little Bookworm No. 006 directly caused Leo's energy to begin assimilation from the deepest part of his body. This is the most important step in subduing a cosmic-level treasure, and also the most time-consuming process.
However, with the help of Little Bookworm No. 006, Leo doesn't need to worry much; he only needs to be an energy supply machine.
As energy entered, Leo could feel his connection with the Hundred-Page World deepening. Once the energy was completely assimilated, the Hundred-Page World would be his, and no one could take it away from him.
This will be Leo's third universe-level treasure; if word got out, it would drive all Supreme Lord mad with envy!!
