• Leo refused to accept the Level Three Great Wizards’ appeal to the Supreme Lord and demanded they reveal everything they were withholding.
• Leo threatened to return and destroy the puppet armies, prompting the wizards to admit that the Lords of Souls’ forces must remain above half strength and that battles should occur at least once a year.

• Yaoyao asked why the wizards had changed their attitude, and Leo explained that they were receiving intelligence from infiltrators in Returning Breath World through the altar.
• Leo told Yaoyao that regular battles and preserved enemy forces concealed the spies’ transmissions, while false intelligence helped protect the infiltrators from discovery.

Leo managed the wizard army’s position in the Manluo World, secretly sent the Dark Camel People away to be harvested for their souls, and ordered large-scale resource extraction while the Lords of Souls held back. He later found that his avatar, Black Soluo, had advanced to level one and asked how his soul witchcraft cultivation was progressing.

• Leo told Boiling Blood Tyrant Body to keep the area around the Level Three Great Wizards off-limits and agreed to let the Dark Camel People withdraw once their losses exceeded 60%.

The wizard reinforcements arrived as he ordered Manluo World’s defenses readied for the coming attack.

Returning Breath World sent five hundred thousand peak Level Three puppets and five hidden Lords of Souls to pin Leo and the wizards at the defensive line. Leo and the Stigmata Wizards slaughtered the puppet army, but after hours of searching Leo still could not find the Lords of Souls.

• An army of five hundred thousand peak Level Three puppets advanced on Leo and the wizards, while five Lords of Souls hid among them to keep Leo from moving freely.

Leo used the Lords of Souls’ failed amplification array and a hydrogen bomb to break their attack, then freed the Earth Giant and killed the remaining pursuers. He went on to finish off the wounded Lords of Souls left by the backlash.

• The Earth Giant’s eye rays struck the Lord of Souls controlling the amplification array, causing the gathered energy to explode and wound the nine other participants.
• Yaoyao appeared beside the two Lords of Souls summoning giant hands and detonated Leo’s hydrogen bomb, interrupting their spell and freeing the Earth Giant’s legs.

• Leo harvested the wounded Lords of Souls from the failed array, storing their corpses in Shadow Space.

After the two surviving Lords of Souls sacrificed themselves to summon the Endless Pot, Leo recognized the aura as that of a cosmic-grade weapon and escaped with Yaoyao into the Shadow World. Yaoyao went back to investigate what had emerged from the black vortices and quickly returned, leaving its nature unclear.

• Leo taunted the two remaining Lords of Souls, who chose to sacrifice themselves rather than flee or attack him directly.

• Yaoyao returned shortly after leaving, but the chapter did not reveal what she had seen.
