181: Chapter 181 Cosmic Energy Attack! A destructive index far exceeding that of the strongest being on Planet Blue!

In front of Zhang Jian, various notifications were appearing so fast he could barely keep up.

"You have been attacked by unknown energy. This energy type has been marked. You will receive extra rewards after successfully resisting."

This was from when he first came into contact with the blood-colored flames.

And after he had just successfully blocked it:

"Analysis of this energy is complete. It has been named Starry Sky-type Cosmic Energy Attack."

"The priority of this energy level attack is higher than Mythical-level World Will-type damage. Any defense, block, absorption, damage reduction, True Shield, or Invincibility effects will not take effect."

Zhang Jian realized the situation.

So it was an attack effect higher than the mythical level.

That meant Xuan Jizi and the other four third job change Professionals, as some of Huaxia's strongest, possessed trump cards sufficient to mitigate mythical level damage by a bit.

If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to help him block it at all.

And his various defensive skills and effects across his body only managed to have a slight effect through [Sword Intent Block].

A sense of crisis rose in Zhang Jian's heart.

It seemed...

The mythical level was far from the limit of this world.

Just a first job change collective class advancement quest had actually stirred up such a huge storm.

"You have successfully resisted this type of damage. You have permanently gained 5% resistance to this damage."

"You have successfully helped the Heavenly Dao identify this damage effect. Rewards are doubled."

"You have permanently gained a 10% resistance reduction against Cosmic Energy-level attacks."

"Your resistance effects against damage types lower than this attack are permanently doubled."

"Your Qi and blood have been baptized by this energy. Your final Stamina Coefficient is multiplied by 2."

Various rewards arrived one after another.

It wasn't just him.

Xuan Jizi and the others also received similar notifications.

Although they only gained a 5% resistance reduction, they were already quite satisfied.

As for the other members of the team, although the damage they took was limited, their own skill effects were also unable to help identify this energy.

However, they all received the final Stamina Coefficient x2 reward.

This meant that any of their stamina-boosting effects would ultimately receive a doubled bonus!

Whether it was Qi and blood, or the recovery speed of Qi and blood!

Amazement was written all over everyone's faces.

That beating they just took wasn't for nothing!

After the blood-colored flames completely vanished from this world, the System seemed to pause for a moment before continuing to display messages.

"Evaluating the strength of this creature..."

"Initially identified as a Rank 69 mythical level BOSS. After being invaded by an unknown creature suspected to be of the Void God Race, base attributes are increased by 200%."

"Second positioning analysis: Influenced by energy higher than the Heavenly Dao-Grade, causing destruction to the class advancement quest environment. The effect of this creature's final strike has exceeded the known records for a Rank 99 mythical level BOSS. Re-evaluating."

Zhang Jian's eyelids couldn't help but twitch violently.

No wonder several Venerable-level figures had stumbled one after another.

This guy's final true form was actually even more powerful than the strongest BOSS on the Blue Planet.

As for how powerful, he was also very curious.

Several profound lights flickered continuously, and Zhang Jian felt his mind become much clearer.

Several notifications flashed by quickly.

"System analyzing..."

"This creature's final attack power has a Destruction Index of over 300 points, which is higher than the average Destruction Index of 100 points for a third job change Rank 99 Professional on Water Blue Planet."

"Aggregating data from all parties: According to the Destruction Index for planetary-type creatures, strength with a Destruction Index higher than 100 points is defined as Planetary-Grade Tier 1. This creature's final strength is determined to be Planetary-Grade Tier 2."

Xuan Jizi and the others gathered around, and Zhang Jian took the opportunity to ask for advice.

"Seniors, according to this Destruction Index, what tier are you all at?"

Xiao Yuntian and the other two shook their heads.

"At our level, it may seem like we have infinite glory and are invincible existences among Professionals."

"But in reality, when facing this kind of cosmic-level creature from other planets, we are merely at the newborn level."

"No matter what skills or equipment we have, once taken out of Water Blue Planet, they basically cease to function. Destruction power can only be calculated based on one's own base attributes."

"If we have to calculate it, we are all only at Tier 1, and still quite far from Tier 2."

Xuan Jizi stroked his long beard, looking a bit proud.

"This old man is untalented, but I have barely reached Tier 2, with a destruction power of around 268 points."

Xiao Yuntian and the others couldn't help but look at him sideways.

"Damn, you old fellow were hiding it quite deeply."

"Everyone is a Venerable, why are you so outstanding?"

Though they were joking around,

There was clearly an extra touch of awe in their eyes toward Xuan Jizi.

After hearing about their strength, Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good.

Looking at it this way, this alien creature with a very imposing title was only slightly stronger than the strongest Professional on Water Blue Planet. It was still possible to catch up.

Xuan Jizi clearly thought the same.

Patting Zhang Jian's shoulder, he encouraged him.

"With your hard work, little friend, and by clearing a few more Hell-level Dungeons, our strength limit can continue to rise."

"When the time comes, this old man will be able to handle Tier 2 strength with just one hand!"

The others also chimed in with agreement.

But just then,

Several blood-red notifications suddenly flashed before their eyes.

"This creature's attack has already been weakened by 90% through the inter-planetary Heavenly Dao protection mechanism."

"Re-evaluating..."

"This creature's normal Destruction Index is higher than 3200 points, defined as a Tier 6 creature."

Xuan Jizi's face froze.

The others were also pale with shock.

3200 points?

That was dozens of times their strength!

If not for the Heavenly Dao protection mechanism, if they were placed in the Universe,

Wouldn't they be crushed to death by the opponent's single finger?

Alarm bells rang loudly in Zhang Jian's heart.

Xuan Jizi began to calculate on his fingers.

"Above third job change Rank 99, every 1 Rank increase can improve comprehensive strength—that is, the Destruction Index—by 5%."

"According to the current progress, to reach a Destruction Index of 3200 points, one would need to increase by 58 Ranks!"

The other three also quickly calculated based on their own strength.

"I would need to increase to Rank 70!"

"I'm at Rank 72!"

They looked at each other in dismay.

Xiao Yuntian couldn't help but sigh.

"A level cap of Rank 72 means clearing the extreme difficulty of 72 Hell-level Dungeons."

"Even if Brother Zhang Jian has extraordinary strength and can always quickly clear Dungeons of the same level, I'm afraid it would still take decades to achieve."

Yan Buyu said in a gruff voice,

"That scum from the outer planet actually managed to infiltrate through your class advancement quest. It might have been premeditated long ago."

Yun Haiyao nodded.

"First Soul possession, then flesh and blood nurturing, and finally even a true body Transmigration to this place."

"I suspect the opponent is not alone. His clansmen might already be on their way!"

An extreme chill instantly enveloped the group.

That's right.

This alien creature with a Tier 6 true body had already left them in a frantic state.

If there were clansmen even stronger than him, would they still be able to resist?

Or rather...

Does Water Blue Planet have the time to withstand this invasion?

The several Divine-Grade Venerable-level figures, who usually held supreme authority in the eyes of other Professionals, were now like helpless children.

They turned their inquiring gazes toward Zhang Jian.

Staring at him expectantly.

It seemed...

They wanted to get an answer from his mouth.
