"Hehe, you might be disappointed, but I'm fine. Shi Xinyan's curse failed."
Leo was absolutely certain that he was alright. Based on his knowledge and understanding, he was fully confident that the curse of the Stone Heart Rock Supreme Lord had failed, and he had not sensed anything.
"Impossible! No one can resist it! The great Crystal Giant World will cannot possibly fail!"
The Crystal Giant Supreme Lord simply did not believe that the curse could fail; he preferred to believe that Leo was forcing the curse to take effect.
"You talk too much nonsense."
Leo didn't argue with him; what was the point of arguing with a dead man?
With a swift slash of his broken blade, a terrifying attack descended, instantly tearing the head of the last Crystal Giant, the Supreme Lord, apart and extracting its soul, stuffing it into the Endless Pot.
At this point, all ten Supreme Lord of the Crystal Giant had been killed!
The battle was so fast that it took less than a day from start to finish.
Hanubi carefully collected the corpse of the Crystal Giant Supreme Lord and handed it to Leo, looking at Leo with unease.
Leo stuffed the entire corpse of the Crystal Giant Supreme Lord into the Wizard Ring.
He said to Hanubi:
"The resurrection ritual requires a certain amount of time and an undisturbed environment."
"Don't worry, I will resurrect your comrades once the war here is over."
"Thank you for your health...?"
Hanubi was still worried about the curse. Although Leo said it was nothing, she couldn't believe it was even remotely possible.
They are not fools; they are Supreme Lord who have lived for tens of thousands of years. They know how powerful the curse that Shi Xinyan finally unleashed was, and that Supreme Lord could completely resist it.
He cared about Leo because Leo was related to the resurrection of the three Supreme Lord of the Myriad Beasts World.
If possible, or deep down he actually hoped that the curse of Shi Xinyan could be successfully triggered.
Once Leo dies, not only will Leo huge problem be solved, but no one will discover what's going on here.
They were absolutely certain that Leo was the biggest problem they had ever encountered, even more so than the Wizard World that had forced them to surrender.
"Don't worry, if I say it's nothing, then it's nothing."
" The Crystal Giant World commands over a thousand worlds. I have great use for the Crystal Giant World itself and cannot share it with you. As for the remaining worlds you rule, you can dispose of them as you see fit. Take as many as you can."
Leo generously invited Hanubi and the others to join this grand feast. More than a thousand worlds, none of which were protected by Supreme Lord, were no different in their eyes from a beautiful woman who had been washed and tied up.
Thank you.
Supreme Lord Hanubi, said "thank you" repeatedly, but didn't move an inch. He looked at Leo with expectant eyes, his gaze constantly drifting into the distance.
Following his gaze, Leo saw the black mountain floating above the starry sky. The other three Supreme Lord of the Myriad Beasts World were already standing at the foot of the black mountain, looking at Leo with embarrassed smiles.
Leo instantly understood: with the battle over, they were to take away the cosmic-level treasure, the Black Mountain Peak, as agreed.
"I'm so sorry about my memory."
Baturu immediately flew to the black mountain peak and pulled out its projection. Instantly, both black mountains regained the aura of cosmic treasures.
"Let's transport the Black Mountain back first, and then we'll make arrangements on how to conquer those worlds."
Hanubi couldn't wait to say goodbye to Leo, and with the other three Supreme Lord companions, he tore open the spatial rift with satisfied smiles and pushed the black mountain away.
They were excited and overjoyed; they finally had their own cosmic treasure!
Especially compared to the previous Horn of the Dragon, the black mountain before them was far stronger, and they were extremely satisfied.
The biggest reason why Leo agreed to come and wage war against the Crystal Giant World was this cosmic treasure!!
With him, the strength of their Myriad Beasts World increased dramatically!
Not only that, once they have the Black Mountain, they will immediately send people to conquer those worlds.
Not many are needed; conquering just a few hundred worlds would increase their resources and power by a third.
Fighting against the Crystal Giant World alongside Leo and sharing such a huge profit is the biggest gain in the history of their Myriad Beasts World.
Hanubi and the others left. Leo's face was no longer relaxed; instead, it was grave. He said to Baturu and Black Soluo, "Go inside the Crystal Giant World and end the war quickly."
"Good,"
"Clear."
Black Soluo and Baturu also wore solemn expressions. Although none of the three said what had happened, they knew the truth.
The curse that the Crystal Giant Supreme Lord Shi Xinyan unleashed at the end took effect; it wasn't completely ineffective as Leo claimed.
However, not all of his curses took effect; only the first of the three curses was effective.
That's the one that curses Leo's soul to be forever condemned to the land of darkness!!
I didn't notice it before, but now the curse is acting up!
Black Soluo and Baturu charged toward the Crystal Giant World. Leo reached out and grabbed Leo from the Shadow Plane, Yaoyao appeared in his hand.
"Walk."
As soon as Yaoyao appeared, she led Leo into the Shadow World.
Leo's soul is bound to the Shadow World, and all attacks targeting Leo's soul will be transferred to the Shadow World.
He had encountered countless opponents who had attacked Leo's soul before, but none of them had any effect on him in the face of the Shadow World.
Even the Supreme Lord and cosmic-level treasures are no match!
This time, however, the curse of the Crystal Giant, the Supreme Lord of Shi Xinyan, succeeded.
The effect is unclear; it did not achieve the desired effect of the curse.
Leo guessed that the latter two curses failed most likely because the first curse had exhausted all his power, thus rendering the latter two curses ineffective.
As for the unclear effect, perhaps it's due to some conflict between the curse and the rules of the Shadow World.
After the curse took effect, Yaoyao notified Leo in her mind.
The Land of Chaos the Shadow World
Yaoyao, Leo, Black Soluo, Baturu, and the sealed soul of the World Tree are all here.
But the moment Leo saw it, he suddenly noticed a black panel beneath the statue, as if the statue was sitting on the black panel.
The black panel is the fusion of the seven small projections!
"Didn't you tell me to keep the black plates safe for the war against the Crystal Giant World? I just left them here," Yaoyao said somewhat embarrassedly.
In fact, Yaoyao was acting out of personal emotion. He had studied the black plate for a thousand years but still couldn't understand its abilities, so he simply sat down on it to vent his anger.
"It's okay, as long as you're happy."
Leo was no longer concerned with how Yaoyao dealt with the black panels; his attention was entirely focused on the statue.
This is a statue formed by his soul merging with his shadow. Originally, there was nothing there, but now there are specks of white light appearing on the statue.
Not only his statue, but also Black Soluo, Baturu, and Yaoyao's statue all appeared on it.
There weren't many of these white dots, only a few scattered here and there, but under Leo's gaze, the number of white dots was gradually increasing, showing a tendency to spread all over his body.
Even more frightening is that, where the statue contacts the black plate, white spots appear, seemingly eroding the statue.
Integrate the statue into the black panel!!
If left unchecked, it's foreseeable that the entire statue will melt and merge into the black slab once the white spots take hold!
Leo didn't know what this outcome would bring him, and he didn't have any particular feelings about it at the moment.
Normally, a statue is also his soul, and if his soul is harmed, he should react.
Just like when Black Soluo and Baturu self-destructed, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
The soul statue in the Shadow World is now malfunctioning, yet he shows no reaction whatsoever, which is highly unusual.
He wouldn't have known anything about what was happening here if Yaoyao hadn't told him.
As for how to stop the white spots from spreading, Leo had no idea.
He lost all his abilities in the Shadow World; all his energy was unusable, and all his senses were rendered useless.
Aside from helplessly watching the white spots spread, all that's left is to watch helplessly!
"Do you know what happened?" Leo asked Yaoyao.
In the Shadow World, Leo loses all his senses and is completely unable to detect the problem with the statue.
He could only watch as the white spots multiplied and slowly merged into the black patches!
Yaoyao seemed not to hear Leo's question. Instead, she wrinkled her little nose and stared longingly at the mutated statue. Judging from her expression, Leo could roughly guess what had happened.
"That guy cursed you with all of his own power, plus a portion of the power of the Crystal Giant World. Although the curse energy is strong, according to the Shadow World, it shouldn't be able to harm our souls. I have absolute confidence in that."
"Our lack of reaction is the best proof of this, but why did the statue melt?"
Yaoyao wasn't worried about the curse's harm. He had absolute confidence in himself and in the Shadow World. Even if the curse of the Crystal Giant Supreme Lord Shi Xinyan were a hundred times stronger, it wouldn't be able to harm their souls.
Their souls are bound to the Shadow World; to harm Leo's soul means to harm the Shadow World.
Nobody can reach this level!
But why did it melt?
He didn't understand this.
Unable to understand the problem, they were unable to save the statue, and could only watch as white spots spread across its entire surface, then melted away like ice and snow, merging completely into the black plaque!
However, the sealed World Tree soul had nothing to do with Leo. He was not corrupted by the white spots, nor did he merge into the black plate. He just stood there upright.
The rope, made from the shadow used to fix the statue's position, was naturally tied to the black panel after the statue was integrated into it.
