Leo expanded Falling Sunset Village and laid out three five-year plans to build a trade route to Bihan City and eventually turn the village into a large city. The first plan finished early, and the village’s growth brought the second plan into focus, though limited land transport threatened to slow trade.

• Leo reflected that he had completed his available studies and could advance on the elemental path, but his Bloodline Power still blocked his body-refining progress.
• Alice worked to improve the Gulu Beasts’ advancement chances, while Leo gave her access to his resources and supported her efforts to cultivate slaves.

• Leo asked Yaoyao how long he had been unconscious after learning that corpses around the academy could attract wild beasts.

Leo woke after ten days and found that Alice and Benji had died in the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard’s attack. Swearing revenge and promising to find a way to revive Alice, he preserved their bodies and gathered corpses from the academy as he headed for its energy pool.

• Leo learned from Yaoyao that no Guardian Wizards had come to investigate the Purple Flame Academy and resolved to grow stronger so he could take revenge.
• Leo recovered his body with mana from the Godslaying Staff and examined Benji’s and Alice’s corpses in the Shadow Space.

• Leo entered the academy, collected thousands of wizard corpses with the Godslaying Staff, and flew toward the tower’s highest floor.
• Leo headed for the academy’s energy pool, which Dean Alexander had once allowed him to visit.

Leo gathered the academy’s wizard corpses and energy crystals, then began advancing his elemental and body-refinement paths at the same time. As Yaoyao mourned Alice and Benji while searching the academy for treasure, Leo broke through his third bloodline layer and transformed into a giant over thirty meters tall.

• Leo brought the academy’s corpses to the energy-pool floor, collected their wizard rings’ energy crystals, and fed the crystals into the pool.

• Leo finished evolving into the Vengeance Giant, gaining heavy bone armor and the ability to control locations for external nuclear explosions.
• Leo fought overwhelming hunger by absorbing energy from the pool and the energy crystals Yaoyao had gathered, reserving the wizard corpses as a last resort.
• Leo continued absorbing energy for three days until his hunger disappeared and his indestructible body reached 3.2% evolution.
• Leo tested his attributes and found that his mental power was 270, his stamina was 275, and his strength was 280.
• Leo reflected on his guilt over Alice's fate and vowed that the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard would live until Leo could kill him himself.

After evolving his Indestructible Body and shadow talent, Leo planned four new domains to make his domain system self-sustaining and give him a chance to take revenge on the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard. He ended the chapter by feeding his shadows his blood so they could prepare for battle.

• Leo dismissed the Vengeance Giant, returned to his Earth-human form, and summoned 157 enhanced shadows.
• Leo planned an improved Energy Absorption Domain that could draw energy from living bodies, alongside the Bloodfall, Energy Disruption, and Steam Explosion Domains.
• Leo intended to combine the four new domains with his Ice and Gravity Domains to kill enemies, absorb their energy, and increase the Vengeance Giant's attack power through their blood.
• Leo calculated that establishing the new domains would use nearly all his available shadows, leaving little room for damage absorption.
• Leo cut a blood vessel and let all 157 shadows feed on his blood before they went to kill.

Leo learned that the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard’s rebellion was part of a larger conflict centered on the Black Skull Academy, where Guardian Wizards were suppressing a revolt involving a World Lord and five stigmata wizards. After finishing his preparations, Leo left to seek revenge, though he stopped himself from calling Benji.

• Yaoyao spent a month searching the academy and gathered its stored treasures while Leo’s strength continued to grow.
• Leo asked Charlotte about the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard and learned that six academies had lost contact with the outside world.
• Charlotte warned Leo that the crisis was beyond the reach of low-level wizards, but Leo contacted the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard for details.
• The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard told Leo that the Black Skull Stigmata Wizard had allied with a World Lord and five neighboring stigmata wizards, prompting the Guardian Wizards to intervene in a conflict that had reached level six.
• Leo connected his six domains into a bracelet, learned Yaoyao had finished searching, and set out for the Black Skull Academy’s territory before stopping himself from calling Benji.

Leo found Tiyama City’s inhabitants dead and discovered a spatial barrier sealing off Black Skull Academy’s territory. After Guardian Wizards refused to let him through, Yaoyao took him through the Shadow World, where they emerged inside the sealed space with Leo unable to control his body.

• Leo tested his evolved Shadow Walking and used it to travel from the wizard academy to Tiyama City, where he found a million people dead with their souls gone.
• Leo reached Black Skull Academy’s border and found its territory enclosed by a powerful spatial barrier he could not break.
• Five Guardian Wizards refused Leo’s demand to enter, even when he invoked his First-Class Wizard Medal, and Yaoyao stopped him from attacking them.
• Yaoyao proposed crossing into the sealed territory through the Shadow World, warning Leo that they could emerge in a dangerous location.
• Leo agreed, and Yaoyao led him through the Shadow World; they emerged inside the separated space, where Leo staggered uncontrollably and smashed rocks and the ground.

Leo emerged from the Shadow World surrounded by a vast slave army, and after recovering enough to unleash his six domains, he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of troops. He transformed into a Vengeance Giant and began fighting his way toward the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, leaving the army swarming around him.

• Yaoyao left Leo as the slave army closed in, and its attacks buried Leo beneath a mountainside.
• Leo activated his six domains from beneath the rubble and wiped out a huge swath of the slave army, absorbing their blood and energy.
• Leo blasted away the rubble, transformed into a sixty-meter Vengeance Giant, and discovered the absorbed blood had increased his attack power for three minutes.
• Yaoyao spotted modified Gulu Beasts among the slave army, and Leo declared he would fight through the troops to reach the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard.
• Leo shaped his six domains into a vast killing zone and charged into the army, which engulfed him in streams of blood.

The Vengeance Giant slaughtered the advancing slave army with his six domains while Leo tested level three witchcraft by detonating hand-rolled nuclear bombs. He demonstrated that each bomb had an attack power of 24,000, though the chapter left the giant still facing the enormous army.

• The Vengeance Giant held position as his six domains killed slaves within 5,000 meters and blood absorption steadily increased his attack power.
• The Vengeance Giant used the Godslaying Staff to gather twelve balls of electricity while the slave army continued charging.
• The Vengeance Giant hurled a ball of electricity at a surviving squad, and its hidden nuclear material triggered a massive explosion that annihilated them.
• Leo calculated that each hand-rolled nuclear bomb had an attack power of 24,000, but its power dropped sharply away from the blast's center.

Leo slaughtered the slave army while searching the partitioned world for the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard. Elsewhere, Litasha, Amanda, and Amy were nearly killed by the slaves until a roar made the entire army abandon them and rush away.

• Leo killed the creature commanding the slave army with nuclear explosions, then charged in a random direction while his six domains slaughtered and drained the slaves.
• Litasha, Amanda, and Amy fought to break through the slave army, but their own squad dwindled until the last controlled slave died.
• A slave broke through Amy's shields and buried her beneath a mass of attackers as Litasha and Amanda struggled to hold their defenses.
• Just as Litasha and Amanda prepared to self-detonate, a furious roar stopped every slave and drew them away from the three wizards.
• Amanda reached the badly injured Amy and treated her with healing potions, while Litasha realized the three of them had survived for now.

Amy, Amanda, and Litasha followed the slave armies to a blood mist that was annihilating them, then reunited with Yaoyao and learned that Leo was inside it. Yaoyao prepared to lead the group to Black Skull Academy’s spatial passage, while Amy and Amanda warned that the route was guarded by overwhelming slave forces.

• Amy, Amanda, and Litasha secretly followed the slave armies and found them charging into a towering blood mist that devoured them.
• Amy, Amanda, and Litasha approached the mist but stopped at its five-thousand-meter death zone, where slaves of every level were killed instantly.
• Yaoyao recognized Amy and Amanda, brought the three women within the mist’s protection, and reunited them with the surviving wizards.
• Yaoyao revealed that Leo was the massive Level Three wizard hidden inside the blood mist, astonishing Amy and Amanda.
• Yaoyao announced that they were heading to Black Skull Academy’s spatial passage, and Amy and Amanda warned that it was guarded by vast numbers of powerful slaves.

Leo led the wizards he had rescued toward Black Skull Academy’s spatial passage, where the stigmata wizards had entered the main battlefield. At the passage, he faced fifty peak-level-three Tiger Beastmen and prepared to settle old scores.

• Yaoyao told Amy and Amanda that Leo could defeat the slave armies, while Litasha reported that he had killed at least ten million slaves.
• Amy and Amanda told Litasha that Leo had once competed with them in the First-Level Wizard Tournament and received the Third-Class Wizard Medal.
• Leo learned that the stigmata wizards were in another world and that Black Skull Academy’s spatial passage was the only route to reach them.
• After a day of travel, Leo arrived at the ruined Black Skull Academy with the wizards he had rescued.
• Leo spotted fifty enormous Tiger Beastmen guarding the passage, and Litasha warned him that they had routed the wizards with their peak-level-three strength.

Leo decimated the level two and three slave armies with his domains and nuclear-ball witchcraft, leaving only fifty Tiger Beastmen to face him. He charged at them alone while Litasha and the other wizards moved to defend themselves and watched.

• Leo let the approaching slave army enter range, erased over ten thousand level two slaves with a sweep, and launched ten faintly glowing balls of current.
• The balls detonated into nuclear blasts that tore through the slave army, and Leo continued sending them into its ranks every half minute.
• Within an hour, Leo killed all the level two and three slaves, leaving fifty Tiger Beastmen before the spatial passage.
• Litasha offered to help, but Leo told her and the other wizards to protect themselves as he prepared to test his body-refining strength against the Tiger Beastmen.
• Leo surged toward the Tiger Beastmen, and Litasha and the other wizards attacked the advancing slaves to keep themselves safe while watching him.
