After a moment's thought, Jiang Yan activated his Necromancer Summoning skill, recruiting a fine knight skeleton that was provided daily at the racecourse.
The undead horse, shrouded in black mist, and the knight wielding a heavy sword are a perfect combination.
Although he only possesses the power of the Gold rank, his aura is truly unique.
Jiang Yan silently selected the two and activated his innate skills.
[Ultimate Ascension - Awakening Successfully Activated.]
The Frostbone Dragon Knight has been upgraded to Mythic rank.
The Death Knight has been promoted to Legendary rank.
[Simultaneously triggering the Ultimate and Sublime effects, skill advancement complete.]
In an instant, both of them burst forth with a hazy brilliance, and an aura far stronger than before emanated from the depths of their souls.
At this moment, the Frost Bone Dragon Knight underwent a tremendous change. Its entire skeleton turned deep black, and the skeleton that originally stood on its head grew several times larger, with its lower body completely connected to the bone dragon's skeleton, forming a seamless whole.
Frostbone Dragon Knight
Rank: Mythical.
Level: Demigod, Rank 10.
Skills: Zero Freeze, Symbiosis, Divine Affinity.
Overall score: 100,000.
Zero Freeze Ice: A combination of necromantic power and dragon breath, unleashing a strike at the level of laws, capable of freezing and destroying both the physical body and soul simultaneously.
Symbiosis: The powerful Bone Dragon Knight forms a symbiotic relationship with its mount, allowing it to instantly appear anywhere on the Bone Dragon's body and conjure any weapon using its bones.
Looking at the description, Jiang Yan summoned the Heavenly Calamity, suppressed his power, and then launched a Death Finger at the opponent's back.
The skeletons on the bone dragon instantly appeared at the point of attack, and its entire body moved to form a huge shield.
With a loud bang, the bone shield shattered, and half of the skeleton's body was blown apart.
But soon, some of the bones in the bone dragon's body flowed, restoring it to its original state.
So that's what "symbiosis" means. Jiang Yan suddenly realized that it seemed somewhat similar to the nano-armor on the technology side.
As expected of a mythical-level unit, this also makes up for the disadvantage of its relatively fragile body. It is no longer afraid of enemies climbing on it and attacking it, making it far more powerful than a single bone dragon.
What a brilliant invention!
It would be worth considering binding the "Undead Replication Field" here.
After admiring it for a moment, Jiang Yan turned his attention to another advanced unit.
The previously somewhat frail death knight was now covered in rotting flesh, which intertwined with his bones to form a thick layer of armor. Below him, the undead horse was engulfed in black flames.
The Death Knight
Rank: Legendary.
Level: Diamond Tier 10.
Skills: Destructive Charge, Darkest Sword Aura.
Overall score: 21,000.
Destructive Charge: Summons a phantom of death energy to rush rapidly toward the target area, inflicting fear on all enemies along the way, depending on the difference in strength.
Darkest Sword Aura: Each strike from the Death Knight is accompanied by a deadly sword aura, causing damage that is difficult to heal.
Its rating of 21,000 is slightly lower than that of a single legendary bone dragon.
But this did not diminish Jiang Yan's love for it in the slightest.
Cavalry is the epitome of male romance.
Not to mention it also comes with area-of-effect crowd control; once it reaches a certain scale, it will be a nightmare for all ground enemies.
Alas, it's a pity. If only we had a hundred or so epic or legendary blueprints, we could form a high-level undead army in just a few days.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
The biggest advantage of undead units is that they don't need to be leveled up. They are as strong as their initial materials. As long as there are enough resource buildings, they can instantly form a powerful fighting force.
However, this is also a disadvantage. They lack growth potential, and their strength is almost fixed, unlike angels, even the most ordinary two-winged ones have the potential to become gods.
After sending the dozen or so bone dragons and demigod skeletons he had accumulated over this period to the racetrack for advancement, Jiang Yan rushed to another building, "Howling Abyss".
Its appearance is somewhat similar to that of the Burial Dragon Abyss, except that it does not have the cloud hooks on top. In the center of the surrounding mountains, there is a bottomless abyss, from which faint screams can be heard.
This seems different from previous buildings; it's a building that transforms the living into the dead.
As the Undead Emperor, Jiang Yan could clearly sense the progressively increasing power of the Undead Laws. If someone could reach the bottom, they could directly condense a seed of law and become an Undead Demigod.
—That's not bad. Becoming an undead is one of the easiest ways to achieve immortality, and I imagine it would be very popular.
It can be a second option for those who are unwilling to believe in the Holy Light.
After pondering silently for a moment, Jiang Yan stepped out of the Abyss of Howling and opened the Interdimensional Dimension.
An email from Luo Qianyu has arrived, containing information about the opponents in the fifteenth Abyss Trial.
Based on predictions from a supercomputer of the galaxy level, the likely adversaries are approximately three from the 063, 064, 066, 071, and 073 star systems. Below is their general information; however, due to the difficulty in obtaining intelligence on some adversaries located in different cosmic spaces, only basic information is available for most.
Jiang Yan frowned slightly at the fact that there were star regions starting with the number 6.
Given his status in his previous life, he had virtually no access to this information. He only vaguely knew that the earlier the star field was numbered, the earlier it came into contact with the various realms, and the more difficult it would be to deal with.
Starfield No. 063, Black Rock.
The passing level is hellish.
Power prediction: Fifth-tier demigod.
Main Familia: Lava Titan.
Unconfirmed information: Suspected inheritor of a fire-elemental deity, a melee-type fighter. Possibly possesses a small number of subordinates at the lower god level.
Starfield No. 064, Alland Road.
The passing level is hellish.
Strength: First-tier demigod.
Main clan: Cyclops.
Unconfirmed information: Possesses a low-god level undead beast, suspected to be an undead-type professional.
...
The entire document records more than 20 people, most of whom are lords who have passed the highest level of the "Extreme Realm" assessment.
The lowest rank among them was Diamond Level 10, and the highest rank was Demigod Level 6.
Indeed, very strong.
In his world, apart from himself being a demigod, the strongest being, Luo Qianyu, was only at the Gold rank, and couldn't even defeat the weakest one among them.
No wonder these people have lost faith.
Of course, if the time is delayed to a year later, with the support of the Star Empire's royal family, Luo Qianyu, if not on par with the strongest among them, will at least not be weaker than the lords who are also undergoing the same extreme-level assessment.
Unfortunately, the timing is too unfair.
Jiang Yan repeatedly examined the contents of the intelligence report.
On paper, with his current strength, even the combined strength of the opponent's top combatants is not a threat.
The problem is that this season's newcomer group was selected to fight as the star group, which has a real-world punishment mechanism.
Undoubtedly, before the trial begins, each star system will provide full support with various equipment or mercenary-type treasures.
The reality is far more difficult than it appears on paper.
More importantly, in this Abyss Trial, units that die cannot be revived.
In the worst-case scenario, under a three-way attack, even if they win, most of their men will die.
It seems that in order to achieve a complete victory... we'll just have to make things difficult for our teammates.
Jiang Yan pondered to himself.
