Ch. 455Expedition to the Ant God World (20)

Leo watched the hydrogen bomb he had planted inside the World Lord explode, then searched the battlefield and Shadow World for signs of her. With no trace of her found, he believed she was dead, though the chapter left the battlefield on guard against her possible return.

  • Leo escaped the hydrogen bomb's blast by using Shadow Walking to reach the mothership's command section.
  • The blast wave struck the mothership and battlefield, killing at least three hundred thousand ants while the wizards deployed shields.
  • Command wizards detected no trace of the World Lord, and Yaoyao found no sign of her in the Shadow World.

  • Leo and Yaoyao discovered the World Lord had survived the hydrogen bomb, emerging as a weak, golden ball of flesh with an illusory book behind her.
  • The World Lord poured her remaining energy and some of Ant God World's energy into the book, which released a wave that swept across the battlefield.

Ch. 459The Hundred-Page World (4)

Leo learned that the Wizard World would send a rescue, so the group would wait in the Hundred-Page World and prepare for a beast tide. Seeing that the local creatures carried pureblood dragon blood, Leo set out to collect it while Benji and his ant puppets captured a dragonkin lizard.

  • Stigmata Wizard Invincible explained that the Wizard World would rescue them, and that the group did not need to clear the Hundred-Page World.

  • Leo ordered Benji and the male ant puppets to capture a level-two dragonkin lizard and dig a cave for a laboratory.
  • Leo sent Yaoyao’s shadows to gather energy-bearing treasures, then set up his portable laboratory and knocked the struggling lizard unconscious.
  • After a day and a night, Leo extracted the lizard’s bloodline, refined his body, and obtained a drop of dragon blood with a purity of about thirty-five percent.
  • Leo tested the blood on a groundhog-like creature, transforming it into a dragonkin beast before killing it and extracting the injected bloodline.
  • Seeing more dragonkin brought in by the male ants, Leo continued capturing and killing them to accumulate dragon bloodline.

Ch. 461Hundred-Page World (6)

Leo avoided the gathering of wizards, expecting the beast tide to draw out the pureblood dragon and give him an opportunity. As the wizards amplified Star Gravity, the dragon emerged and clashed with him.

  • After five months of refining beasts, Leo moved his puppet army to a new hunting ground because the nearby beasts had been exhausted.
  • Troy told Leo that the beast tide would arrive in ten days, but Leo refused to return, suspecting the Stigmata Wizards planned to use him against the pureblood dragon.

  • When the beast tide began, Leo hid in Shadow Space and watched the wizards quickly defeat the beasts and assemble amplification arrays for Star Gravity.
  • A pureblood dragon roared from the central mountain, charged toward Star Gravity, and clashed with him.

The World Will forgave him but permanently denied him the chance to become World Lord, and Leo secured the freedom to enter and leave New Earth without being targeted.

  • Leo tested dragon bloodline on blood samples from New Earth apprentices and found that it activated their bloodline power, allowing them to advance as Body Refinement Wizards.
