Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 523: Chapter 246 Chosen of the Double Gods!

Gongsun Master indeed brought a great surprise to Li Yelai.

One of Li Yelai’s trump cards, Evil Star Falling, or should I say ’Cute Star Sky Collision’!

It was based on the speed and weight of the mount, enhancing the speed and impact force with the wind and thunder of the Shadow Army, thereby unleashing an impact close to that of a meteor.

If it were mounted on a Heavenly Meteor Qilin, this move would be as powerful as Li Yelai’s Annihilation Thunder in terms of force.

However, the mounts that the Ember Church could tame and provide were very limited in strength.

Many powerful extraordinary creatures possessed high intelligence and were difficult to tame. Or rather, they were simply untamable.

Even with Virtual Realm Beast Language, one could only communicate with them, not command them.

And the tameable extraordinary creatures simply couldn’t match up to Li Yelai.

The Sky Hunting Sheep was also of about Four Awakenings level, an extraordinary creature tamed by the Eternal Life Sect through an evil ceremony.

But Li Yelai had only ridden it once before it was killed. It couldn’t withstand the intense battles Li Yelai encountered, barely being called Old Horse Number Three before it fell.

In reality, the source of Li Yelai’s mounts...

Primarily relied on official and Chu He’s hunting, then refined into Ash Summoning Items by Black Umbrella.

At this moment, Black Umbrella had been skinned and deboned. Even if Li Yelai obtained the body, he wouldn’t be able to get a summoning item anytime soon.

Unless, Cheese and his team could immediately find Black Umbrella’s organization and accept his legacy.

Otherwise, even if Chu He brought the body of an Ancient Dragon, Li Yelai couldn’t do anything but stare helplessly.

Now, the Secret Treasure made by Gongsun Craftsman broke this limitation for Li Yelai!

It allowed control over dead bodies, retaining seventy percent of the corpse’s combat power before death. That was more than double the power of what Black Umbrella’s ash summoning could achieve.

This greatly expanded Li Yelai’s choices of mounts.

Regardless of whether they were tamed or not, as long as it was a body, it could be controlled.

This solved the biggest problem!

As long as collective Church power could kill powerful extraordinary creatures, Li Yelai could immediately acquire a mount and could switch mounts at any time during battle.

Of course, there were limitations.

For Li Yelai’s subsequent actions, if he wanted to use a mount at any time, he probably had to carry an uncorrupted body with him.

”Can it control human or Forbidden Zone Creatures’ bodies?” Li Yelai asked, as Black Umbrella’s biggest trump card was controlling strong bodies.

”It is possible, but experiments have shown that controlling Spiritual Ability User bodies is very difficult,” Gongsun Craftsman said, ”This might require a lot of training and familiarity, unlike how easily extraordinary creatures are managed.”

Li Yelai wasn’t surprised; that guy Black Umbrella did have some tricks.

He couldn’t reach that level himself, but it was enough.

”You’ve done well,” Li Yelai praised Gongsun Craftsman and took the reins. ”But I need to get familiar with this rein. Do you have a suitable body?”

”We do, Lord Di Yun,” Gongsun Craftsman responded. ”In our inventory, we have a relatively well-preserved body of a Leiyar Flying Dragon.”

A flying dragon? Li Yelai smiled and nodded, it seems he could play the role of a Dragon Knight now.

Soon, Gongsun Craftsman and several believers accompanied Li Yelai to the training ground at the gathering place.

In the training ground, a giant Leiyar Flying Dragon with a huge sutured wound in its abdomen, seemingly pierced through the organs and killed, was delivered by a cargo truck.

Li Yelai walked around the body of the Flying Dragon twice, nodding with satisfaction.

This Leiyar Flying Dragon was almost fifteen meters long from head to tail, stood over four meters tall when upright, and weighed more than six tons.

Although not comparable to the Heavenly Meteor Qilin, it was quite majestic and domineering.

Moreover, Gongsun Craftsman had specifically installed a saddle, or rather, a dragon saddle, on the Leiyar Flying Dragon.

Li Yelai cast the reins, and saw one end of the reins instantly penetrate into the body of the Leiyar Flying Dragon.

As Li Yelai infused it with Spiritual Energy, the eyes of the Leiyar Flying Dragon suddenly opened wide.

This feeling was very peculiar, as if his body extended again, and he could control this body as if it were his own limbs.

”Not bad.”

Li Yelai laughed and mounted.

The Leiyar Flying Dragon unfurled its wings, bellowing loudly.

A blazing fireball shot from the dragon’s mouth, soaring into the sky and exploded at a high altitude.

The next second, Li Yelai was soaring through the sky on the Leiyar Flying Dragon, ascending into the clouds.

Twisting and soaring freely in the high sky.

It was several minutes later that they descended back to the ground.

”Lord Di Yun, how do you feel?” Gongsun Craftsman cautiously asked.

”The speed is a bit slow,” Li Yelai responded, ”but everything else is quite good; the Spiritual Energy consumption is less than I expected.”

Li Yelai initially thought, since the Leiyar Flying Dragon retained seventy percent of its combat power from before death, it would consume a lot of Spiritual Energy.

After using it, he discovered that the body of the Leiyar Flying Dragon still maintained some Spiritual Energy.

Li Yelai only needed a thought, and the body would respond accordingly.

This saved Li Yelai a lot of Spiritual Energy. It was considered an advantage.

”This is actually a merit of the materials you gave me; they can provide some vitality to the shattered and uncontrolled Soul Well of the body, allowing the body to ’regenerate’ and autonomously produce some Spiritual Energy,” explained Gongsun Craftsman.

That made sense. If not for this, even squeezing Black Umbrella dry wouldn’t allow control over so many powerful Corpse Puppets. It turns out the Corpse Puppets could generate Spiritual Energy by themselves.

”Very good, during the sacrifice of our lord, you can stand behind me,” Li Yelai smiled.

Whenever the Blood God was worshipped, the Divine Chosen would receive more or less a blessing, and the servants nearby would also benefit from it.
