Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 518 - 243: 5 Murals_2

"So, my goal is to maximize the losses of the Church," Li Yelai said. "You’ve seen the essentials of the Church in this war!"

This time it was a civil war within the Church, both sides had elite troops, featuring Bloodsuckers and Plague Knights, along with all sorts of fanciful monsters, not to mention Church Spiritual Ability Users beyond the Third Awakening.

If they hadn’t fought among themselves and had instead united against Giant City, how many casualties would Giant City have suffered?

The foundation of the Church is still too strong, it must be severely drained!

Let them be unable to pose a threat to humanity for a long time.

That Giant City in Europe, the entire population of the city was corrupted by Chaos.

Many humans died or were twisted, with only a few managing to escape.

Among them, the Ember Church in the European area made a great effort.

To prevent this situation from arising in the Asian region, Li Yelai had to deplete them severely.

If possible, Li Yelai would like to gather all the Divine Chosen from each Sect and sub-branch together. Crush them with one giant meteor!

Then the Church could be quiet for a very long time.

"We can only work towards this goal," Li Yelai reflected and said, "Your Spiritual Ability Equipment is damaged, give it to me and I’ll have the Church’s craftsmen fix it."

"How would you explain that?" Little Mad King frowned and asked. Her Spiritual Ability Equipment had almost broken during her engagement with the seventh-generation Champion in his Corpse Puppet state. It indeed needed repairs.

"Explain? As a Blood God Chosen One, to whom do I need to explain?" Li Yelai revealed a smile, "You know, in this war, I am the biggest winner. Letting the craftsmen repair a piece of spoils won’t raise any questions."

"That Gongsun Craftsman is now leading over a dozen Spiritual Ability Craftsmen, working overtime to create and fix Spiritual Ability Equipment. And he is my servant."

Gongsun Craftsman’s task was immensely busy, yet he was in pain and happiness. He was entrusted with a heavy responsibility and gained many privileges.

Especially since Li Yelai handed over the body of Black Umbrella, or rather the soul banner of the Taboo Items, to him.

Once Taboo Items are destroyed, they lose their indestructible traits and become a powerful material.

Li Yelai hoped Gongsun Craftsman could extract useful substances from it, which greatly moved Gongsun Craftsman.

After reflecting, Little Mad King nodded slightly.

Well, she can also freeload on the Church’s resources.

If possible, how great it would be to take all these resources back to Giant City. By then, the merchants of the Equipment Department would probably worship Li Yelai... Heh heh...

"In the next few days, they will clean up the battlefield and turn the small town into a new gathering spot," Li Yelai said, "and a grand ritual ceremony will be held. I might use this opportunity to advance to the Fifth Sense."

"Using blessings to advance... that is indeed a technique of the various Sects," Little Mad King reflected and said, "But I suggest you don’t directly advance to Fifth Sense. You can complete what would normally be a long accumulation with a blessing, but the final step must be taken on your own. Otherwise, there might be risks."

"I’ll listen to you," Li Yelai nodded, trusting his teammate Little Mad King and naturally going along smoothly.

"And while we have this time, I might as well make a trip to the ark," Li Yelai responded, "By then, I’ll need you to act as my protector."

"No problem," Little Mad King nodded.

Li Yelai had left Giant City on the fifteenth of March; he entered the Forbidden Zone, then Snow Mountain, and was later taken away by the Church.

Now, he had been away from Giant City for nearly a month.

Tomorrow would be April fifteenth, the day of the ark gathering.

He could just go inside the ark, gather some intelligence, and perfect the formula.

"Speaking of which, have you thought through the formula for your Fifth Sense?" Little Mad King asked.

Li Yelai pondered for a moment and responded, "I currently have mastered three formulas of the Wanxiang Path Spiritual Energy."

"Mimicry Dragon Breath, Dragon Transformation, and the Mimicry Dragon Soul that my father told me about!"

Mimicry Dragon Breath, the choice of most Wanxiang Path Spiritual Ability Users.

Because its power is quite astonishing!

Apart from some limitations in range, its power can completely rival a Master Mage of the Zero Path at the same level!

And with many variations, Frost Dragon Breath, Molten Dragon Breath, Wind Pressure Dragon Breath, Corrosive Dragon Breath... Various Dragon Breaths not only have impressive power but also different effects! Their destructive power is considerably substantial!

It’s an ability loved by Wanxiang Path Spiritual Ability Users.

While Dragon Transformation, a formula of the Ember Church.

The effect was dragon transformation, and once activated, both the Spiritual Barrier and the physical strength were greatly enhanced!

If there were Wanxiang Path Spiritual Ability Users.

During the Third Awakening, they would choose the Barbaric Beast. During the Fourth Awakening, they would choose Beastification. During the Fifth Sense, they would go for Dragon Transformation.

All three body-strengthening effects triggered simultaneously, turning him into a Super Berserker, surpassing even True Martial.

Loved by the Wanxiang Spirit Users within the Blood God Sect. After all, they disliked long-range combat and looked down on Dragon Breath.

Next up was the Dragon Soul.

It was a formula from his father, Li Qiong, who claimed to have stumbled upon it accidentally while scavenging in the wilderness.

The effect was to mimic the spirit, or rather the soul, into a giant dragon.

A giant dragon possessing both Spiritual Energy and soul attack capabilities, and it could protect its own spiritual power.

It combined offense and defense!

This ability was quite effective for Spiritual Ability Users, as spiritual-type attacks were few.

This formula had been passed on to the authorities by Li Yelai, but they had yet to verify its effects.

However, since it came from his father, Li Yelai wasn’t worried.

"The main targets I choose are Dragon Breath and Dragon Soul. Let’s forget about Dragon Transformation; it doesn’t quite fit my tactics," said Li Yelai.

"Dragon Breath is extremely powerful, and you have the Divine General Dharma Image. You can mimic a gigantic dragon head, which would greatly enhance your power and range," said Little Mad King.

Indeed, Li Yelai’s strength lay in the combined use of Face and his All Phenomena Ability.

If both Dharma Image and Mimicry were used simultaneously, both power and size would multiply. If he learned Dragon Breath, a single massive Dragon Breath from Li Yelai could annihilate a large group in an instant.

"But the effect of Dragon Soul integrates offense and defense. Perhaps it can also be strengthened through the Dharma Image, and more importantly, I lack defensive means on the spiritual level," said Li Yelai.

In a previous chaotic battle, Li Yelai was hit by Miss Cheese’s Dragon Roar·Spirit Destruction, causing him to bleed from all orifices and temporarily lose his combat abilities. The effect was outstanding!

Miss Cheese’s Spiritual Energy was not weak, her proficiency was one aspect.

Another reason was that most spiritual Ability Users of middle to low levels lacked spiritual defense methods.

Of course, the followers of the Deceit Dao and Jile Sect were exceptions, their Divine blessings bestowed high spirit resistance!

Only after the Sixth Sense, when Virtual Realm Projections solidify, did Spiritual Defense power surge, granting higher resistance.

Otherwise, this move was devastating against anyone. This was also why Miss Cheese was previously reluctant to test this move on Li Yelai. It was too powerful for Spiritual Ability Users below the Sixth Sense.

However, Dragon Soul could enhance spirit resistance,

serving as a safeguard, and also gave Li Yelai a means to counter on the spiritual level.

"There is also reason in that. The Illusion Eyes of spiritual eyes, the Mysterious Sound of Ravings, and the Dragon Roar released by Miss Cheese are all spiritual attacks," said Little Mad King. "Blindly pursuing output capacity might not be necessary. Improving the weakest link could also be a good choice."

"Anyway, I’ve chosen between these two abilities," responded Li Yelai. "Specifically, I might need to understand more after getting on the ark."

"That sounds good," Little Mad King nodded slightly.

The next day, Li Yelai sent away the followers guarding nearby and returned to his room alone.

After confirming with Little Mad King that there was no surveillance or eavesdropping nearby,

he put on his suit and donned Copper Face.

Then, he activated his ark ticket.

Soon, he felt the long-missed weightlessness and the emergence of a white light.

Once the white light faded, Li Yelai had arrived inside the ark.

Li Yelai’s gaze swept through the hall, and upon seeing the vacant spot of the Black Umbrella, he smiled to himself.

At one point, Black Umbrella had expressed a desire to meet the entity behind Li Yelai. Now, it seemed he had.

He really was a nice guy.

However, as Li Yelai’s eyes moved to the wall, they suddenly sharpened.

The fifth mural had emerged!
