180: Chapter 180 United We Stand! The Powerful Effect of [Starry Sky Covenant]!

Piercing pain spread throughout Zhang Jian's body.

In just an instant, he felt a true crisis of death.

The Health on his status panel fluctuated violently.

Just when Zhang Jian thought he was going to die here...

The Health value reached 1 point and stopped moving.

The next moment.

The blood-colored flame turned into a ball of light and flew towards the other side.

The direction...

Was impressively towards the interior of Ta City.

Zhang Jian was stunned at first, then came to a realization.

This was the effect of the team's additional Heavenly Dao Divine Ability!

He glanced at the description on the panel.

[Star Vault Covenant] (+5)

When a team member receives fatal damage exceeding their current Health, it automatically activates. Its priority overrides mythical level skills/traits/talents.

The target receiving damage retains 1 Health point. 40% of the remaining damage is converted into [Eclipse Energy] and transferred to other team members in order of their Health values.

Each time it is transferred, the total damage decays by 60%, neutralized by the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

Can only be activated once every 30 days. Requires team members to be within the same map range.

After clearing several Hell-difficulty Dungeons at the limit and continuously receiving Heavenly Dao rewards...

This Divine Ability had been upgraded several times, and its effect was much more powerful than before.

After Zhang Jian withstood the terrifying damage, 60% of it was obliterated by the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

The remaining portion headed towards his teammates.

He wondered if they could block it.

Zhang Jian was worried.

But as the damage had not fully dissipated yet, he was still under the restrictions of the Class Change Quest and could not act. He could only watch helplessly as the blood-colored flame streaked past.

Inside Ta City.

Wang Fei and the others looked solemn, already prepared.

Just now, when Zhang Jian suffered fatal damage, [Star Vault Covenant] was passively activated.

As teammates, they felt it immediately.

Wang Fei acted decisively, immediately filling the team to its maximum capacity, recruiting everyone who could be added.

The group formed a circle, with a total of 11 people ready to block this damage.

The first to bear the brunt was Hai Mengen.

He patted his chest, full of confidence.

"Zhang Jian has already blocked over a hundred million Health worth of damage. I'll take the remaining 40%!"

As he spoke, the blood-colored flame arrived.

As expected, it targeted Hai Mengen, who had the highest Health.

But with just one hit—

Poof!

Hai Mengen looked as if he had been heavily struck; his face turned pale, and he collapsed.

He looked extremely weak.

Looking at the remaining 1 point of Health on his panel, Hai Mengen was horrified.

"Everyone be careful, this attack's power is absurd!"

The moment after his warning, Yun Haiyi stepped forward.

Cough!

Although the blood-colored flame was small, the massive power it carried made her body tremble, and she became somewhat unsteady on her feet.

Two high-level Professionals had resisted it in succession, yet it only caused the blood-colored flame's movement to stall slightly.

The next to accept the challenge was Ye Tianchen, who was piloting the [Skywalker].

Relying on the battle armor's ultra-thick Health bar, he also blocked a portion.

Even though the damage transferred from Yun Haiyi was more than the [Skywalker] could fully withstand...

After paying the price of the armor being temporarily scrapped, the blood-colored flame was still weakened significantly.

"Everyone, hold on!"

Seeing this change, Wang Fei shouted out to boost morale.

And the blood-colored flame's next target was him.

This left Wei Baichuan and President Li Husheng, who were eager to try, momentarily stunned.

Do we old folks in our forties and fifties have less Health than you young lad?

However.

After Wang Fei was defeated, it soon reached the two of them.

Then came Xiao Yun, Ye Xun, Wei Donglai...

Everyone stepped forward one by one, their eyes showing no fear.

Brother Jian has already beaten the BOSS down to this point. If we can't even block this, how can we have the face to be his teammates?

This was what everyone was thinking.

After the first 10 people had sequentially neutralized an unknown amount of damage through [Star Vault Covenant]...

The last one was Instructor Wang Weidong.

Ming Li held his hand tightly, looking at him with concern.

When she suffered the attack earlier, she found that the mythical level BUFF [One Heart Protection] actually failed to take effect, which showed how terrifying this blood-colored flame was.

With Instructor Wang Weidong being the last person to bear the damage, she was very afraid her husband wouldn't be able to block it.

But as his wife, she did not stop him from stepping out.

During these past days, they had lived and died with the others, experiencing and overcoming countless difficulties.

Now was the dawn before victory.

No matter how great the difficulty, they would not back down!

The others, who had recovered a bit of their status, also began to display their various Divine Abilities.

After discovering that defensive measures were ineffective and that they were suffering True Damage, they changed their strategy.

Yun Haiyi waved her delicate hand, casting a mythical level skill that temporarily increased the Health limit onto Instructor Wang Weidong.

Hai Mengen also gave a loud shout.

He was not stingy with an epic-grade skill that consumed all of his own Mana to transfer 50% of his Health to the other party.

Xiao Yun went even further, not hesitating to consume a massive amount of experience points and even risking a full ten years of his lifespan to trigger a skill that surpassed the mythical level.

[Life Devotion]!

The white hair quietly appearing at his temples and the fatigue in his eyes all spoke to the staggering nature of this skill.

Countless golden lights floated over Instructor Wang Weidong, which then transformed into a seven-colored radiance.

It even contained flecks of starlight.

Boom!

The moment everyone had been waiting for finally arrived.

As the final teammate, Instructor Wang Weidong officially met the blood-colored flame, which was now smaller and its light almost indistinguishable.

His body shook violently.

Although the damage numbers above his head couldn't be seen...

Judging by Hai Mengen's years of experience...

This blow was enough to completely kill him in one hit.

At the very least...

It was over 500 million points of damage!

But relying on the effect of [Life Devotion], Instructor Wang Weidong stubbornly blocked it.

Looking at the mere 3 points of Health remaining on his panel...

And the blood-colored flame that had vanished from his body and was slowly dissipating.

Instructor Wang Weidong waved his fist excitedly.

"I blocked it!"

The crowd was also overjoyed.

After consuming the entire Health pools of 11 people and relying on the support of numerous skills...

This damage, which was enough to destroy heaven and earth, was finally blocked by them!

Yun Haiyi covered her mouth, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Hai Mengen slumped to the ground all at once, laughing wildly.

The three brothers Wang Fei, Wei Donglai, and Yan Han struggled to stand up and shouted towards the bottom of the city wall.

"Brother Jian, we blocked it!"

"Brother Jian, we did it!"

Cheers erupted throughout the city.

Outside the city, Zhang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Supported by Xuan Jizi and the others, he descended from the sky amidst the starlight.

"How is it? Is the threat completely eliminated?"

Xuan Jizi asked.

Zhang Jian looked at the dense notifications and nodded.
