220: Overturning rivers and seas!

The battle entered its most brutal and patience-testing phase. Every drop in health was accompanied by immense risk and countless beads of sweat. Energy potions and healing potions were consumed like flowing water, and many people's potion reserves began to run low.

But no one retreated; the fire of battle burned in everyone's eyes!

45%... 40%... 35%... When the East Sea Flood Dragon's health slowly dropped below 30%, or 105 million, its furious movements suddenly paused, and a strange light flickered in its crimson dragon eyes.

It abandoned all attacks, its massive body began to twist with a peculiar rhythm, and it looked up to the sky, emitting a series of ancient and obscure syllables. The dark cloud vortex in the sky spun even more frantically, and beneath the surface of the sea, countless giant beasts seemed to be awakening, emitting deep roars, as if all the energy in the entire world was converging towards the Flood Dragon.

"The Flood Dragon has unleashed its ultimate skill 'Overturn Rivers and Seas'! The incantation has begun, only three seconds! The skill lasts for five seconds, hold on!" Chu Yixing's voice was hoarse from extreme tension, but he still shouted the most important command with all his might, "Everyone stop outputting damage! Activate all life-saving skills! Yu Yue, maximum range, strongest effect barrier! All Knights, Priests, Shamans, Bards, activate group damage reduction, group shields, everything you can! Anyone whose life-saving skills are insufficient, immediately move towards the nearest barrier! Quick!!!"

Chu Yixing's roar exploded like thunder in everyone's ears. Without the slightest hesitation, the entire battlefield instantly switched from attack mode to defense mode.

Yu Yue took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination. He slammed his great shield into the sand in front of him, gripping its edges tightly with both hands, and unleashed all his remaining energy, along with the pure light energy transmitted from his pet Dawn Light, without reservation.

"Holy Light Barrier: Absolute Protection!"

A colossal light wall, as solid as crystal, unfurled from him as its center. This light wall had an extremely wide range, covering the Dawn Squad and hundreds of surrounding professionals. Its thickness and energy intensity also far surpassed previous ones. Angelic phantoms even faintly appeared on the light wall, chanting, emitting an indestructible, sacred aura that repelled all magic!

"Divine Sanctuary!" The Paladin Zhao Tieshan also roared, activating a small-range invincibility domain, enveloping dozens of squishy professionals around him.

"Mother Earth's Protection!" A Druid elder transformed into a giant bear, roaring as he released a thick natural shield.

"Ice Fortress!" Ice mages collaboratively cast spells, erecting crystalline ice walls.

"Iron Wall Battle Array!" Warriors simultaneously raised their shields, their battle qi connecting to form an iron defense line.

"Praise of Life!" Many Priests and Priests chanted simultaneously, soft healing light covering the front lines like a tide.

"Guardian Movement!" Bards played inspiring defensive melodies, adding powerful damage reduction effects to all allies.

Han Ruoxue raised her moon god scepter high, "Moonlight Protection: Eternal Night Veil!" A silver light curtain, thin as a cicada's wing yet imbued with ultimate Moonlight Power, draped like a light gauze over Yu Yue's "Absolute Protection" light wall, further enhancing the light wall's resilience.

Ji Linghan activated "Thunder God's Body Protection." Although his resistance to water damage was limited, he still gave his all. Xu Bai ordered all his summoned creatures to form a circle, protecting him and nearby magic-users in the center.

All melee and ranged professionals rushed at the fastest speed into the range of the nearest and seemingly most solid defensive skill.

Shi Yue, still somewhat weak, struggled to protect a few companions as they rushed into Yu Yue's barrier. Sun Xiaoying's figure flickered, hiding in Zhao Tieshan's sanctuary. Su Wan, Lin Feng, and other ranged combatants also quickly sought cover nearby.

The three-second incantation time felt incredibly short at this moment. Every second was like dancing on a knife's edge, every second carried the life and death of thousands of people.

The East Sea Flood Dragon's incantation finally completed. Its massive body suddenly sank, and then, it drew upon the power of the entire nearby East Sea.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!"

It wasn't a tsunami, but like the sky falling, as if the entire ocean had been overturned. Countless hundred-meter-high giant waves, from every direction and every angle of the battlefield, like countless giant demonic hands made of seawater, descended with an overwhelming power that could destroy everything. As far as the eye could see, there were monstrous muddy waves; as far as the ear could hear, there was the booming sound of water.

The first wave of giant waves crashed against Yu Yue's "Absolute Protection" light wall.

"Bang!!!"

The light wall trembled violently, the angelic phantoms on it let out a mournful cry, and the light instantly dimmed by thirty percent. Yu Yue felt a heavy blow, his face turned pale, a mouthful of blood surged up his throat, but he forcibly swallowed it. The health bar above his head sharply dropped a segment.

-8500 (First second damage, after multiple reductions)

The second wave of giant waves followed closely.

"Crack..." Fine cracks appeared on the light wall under this wave of giant waves. Yu Yue's arm bones groaned under the unbearable weight, but he still desperately held the shield, like a reef nailed to the beach. Dawn Light whined anxiously, injecting the last of her light power into her master's body.

-9200

Third wave!

Fourth wave!

Fifth wave!

The giant waves, as if endless, continuously crushed and impacted all defensive skills.

Yu Yue's "Absolute Protection" light wall's cracks widened when it withstood the third wave of giant waves, it was on the verge of shattering during the fourth wave, and when the fifth wave of giant waves slammed down, it shattered like broken glass, exploding with a crash.

-10100

-11500

-13000

Yu Yue spat out a mouthful of blood, his health instantly bottoming out, leaving only a sliver of health. He knelt on one knee, relying entirely on the great shield stuck in the ground to keep from falling. The Dawn Squad members behind him and other protected individuals also suffered a violent impact, spitting blood and getting injured, their health plummeting, but they ultimately survived!

Defensive skills in other areas also shattered one after another in these world-destroying waves. Zhao Tieshan's invincibility domain disappeared after the third wave; he and his protected companions endured the subsequent damage, heavily injured and on the verge of death. The Druid's natural shield, the mage's ice wall, the warrior's battle array... all disintegrated in the giant waves.

The entire coastline turned into a vast ocean, with struggling figures and painful groans everywhere. Healing lights flashed frantically in the waves, trying to pull back those health bars on the verge of zero.

It was finally over! The five seconds, which felt as long as a century, were finally over!

When the last giant wave reluctantly receded, the sea surface was covered with countless debris and bubbles, and the beach was a mess, full of injured people. But a miracle happened!
