Rong Jiaojiao's soul was mistakenly taken by a soul-reaper. After negotiating with him and receiving a series of compensations, she was ready to be reborn after drinking Meng Po's soup. How...
"Hurry! Speed up!" Han Yunshen shouted, his hand seals changing rapidly, and the Three Talents Array shone brightly.
Even so, the group's progress was still slow, and it took them a long time to get close to the center of the demon-sealing formation.
Rong Jiaojiao threw out five Nine Dragon Seals, quickly forming hand seals, and a towering Demon-Suppressing Stele slowly rose into the sky.
Upon seeing this, the demonic main soul launched an even more ferocious counterattack, and the runes on the nine spiritual veins rapidly peeled off.
Mo Bai, Jun Yuangui, Qi Lan, and Lin Xiaoman also simultaneously released their Nine Dragon Seals, casting spells to merge them into the Demon Suppression Stele.
The Nine Dragons Demon-Suppressing Stele has officially returned to its place. Rong Jiaojiao softly proclaims, "Using my divine soul as a guide, I summon the Nine Dragons back to their rightful place."
The nine illusory dragons on the Demon-Suppressing Stele instantly solidified, their roars resounding throughout heaven and earth, the sound waves shattering the very fabric of space. Golden-red lightning crackled around the dragons, ancient sealing runes flowed between their scales, and the air currents stirred up by their whiskers pulverized the surrounding demonic energy.
"boom--"
The demonic main soul let out a resentful shriek, and the black vortex suddenly expanded three times its original size. Countless demonic hands reached out from the vortex and grabbed at the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
The corrupted talismanic culture, acting as chains, climbed wildly along the spiritual veins like living things, causing the golden light on the surface of the spiritual veins to dim rapidly wherever it passed.
The five women, including Rong Jiaojiao, had bulging veins on their foreheads and were bleeding from their mouths, yet they stubbornly maintained their hand seals.
Suddenly, the dragons on the surface of the Demon-Suppressing Stele raised their heads simultaneously, spewing out nine dazzling beams of light that collided violently with the demonic energy in the vortex.
It was as if countless suns exploded between heaven and earth. In the blinding light, everyone saw the Demon-Suppressing Stele slowly sinking, pressing down on the vortex at the center of the formation.
"All troops, form a battle formation! Let us lend a helping hand to the one who wields the seal!" Han Yunshen shouted, raising his arm.
Thirty Celestial Master level experts ascended into the sky simultaneously, and the Three Talents Formation transformed into a giant golden net that enveloped the heavens.
The spiritual power of everyone surged like a river, converging into a pillar of light that reached the heavens and poured into the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
The nine divine dragons on the Demon-Suppressing Stele instantly grew several times larger, their roars causing the void to crack. The ancient runes on the surface of the stele lit up one by one, and with each rune that lit up, a golden ripple spread out, cleansing away the surrounding demonic energy.
The demonic main soul let out a shrill roar, the black vortex twisted and deformed violently, and countless demonic hands vanished into thin air in the golden light.
But just as the Demon-Suppressing Stele was about to be completely pressed into the array's core, a scarlet crack suddenly appeared in the center of the vortex, and a giant eye covered in blood vessels suddenly opened!
"Be careful! It's the Demon Eye, the very essence of evil!" Han Yunshen's expression changed drastically.
Wherever the giant eye swept across, space froze.
The golden net formed by thirty Celestial Master level experts instantly developed cracks, and the seniors in the front row swayed and fell from mid-air.
"Pfft—" Rong Jiaojiao spat out a mouthful of blood, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Demon Suppression Stele.
She felt a cold, sinister force connecting with her spiritual energy and eroding her meridians.
"Hold on!" Mo Bai suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the Nine Dragon Seal.
The seal suddenly burst into a bloody light, and the dragon pattern on the Demon Suppression Stele seemed to be infused with life, its eyes glowing crimson.
Jun Yuangui formed hand seals, and nine ancient longsword phantoms appeared behind him: "Nine Heavens Sword Formation, activate!"
The sword shadow transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the Demon-Suppressing Stele, instantly causing the stele to be filled with sword energy.
Lin Xiaoman took out a handful of crystal-clear seeds from her bosom and scattered them around. The seeds took root and instantly grew into towering ancient trees, with runes identical to those on the Demon-Suppressing Stele appearing on their trunks, forming a natural barrier.
Qi Lan suddenly sat cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and chanted an ancient incantation.
A pale blue halo emanated from his body, within which countless tiny streams of water could be faintly seen flowing.
These waters quickly converged into a river, forming a water curtain barrier around the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
"Boom—"
Suddenly, the crimson demonic eye unleashed thousands of beams of red light, causing space to collapse wherever it passed. The defenses constructed by the three guard teams crumbled one after another, and more than a dozen senior members collapsed, severely injured.
A red light grazed Han Yunshen's chest, instantly leaving a horrifying bloody hole.
At this point, other forces came to lend their support.
In an instant, various magical lights illuminated the entire space at the core of the demon-sealing array.
The elders of the nine major sects of the immortal mountain took the lead in attacking. The immortal swords in their hands shone brightly, and the sword energy crisscrossed and intertwined to kill all the demonic spirits that kept surging in from all around.
Monks from various countries clasped their hands together and chanted scriptures in unison. The chanting sounded like a great bell, and wherever the sound waves reached, the bloodthirsty aura began to dissipate.
The great demons of the demon race swelled to enormous size, their claws tearing through the void. The light from their demon cores intertwined with the cultivators' magical power, forming a solid barrier.
The Western monks were not to be outdone. They formed a circle, their magical artifacts gleaming as they chanted ancient and mysterious incantations.
The runes on the dark-patterned robe lit up, transforming into beams of light that defended against the demons' attacks. At the same time, they could also shoot out strange beams of light to launch long-range attacks on the demons in the distance.
Just as all forces were doing their best to resist the attack of the demonic eye, the cracks on the Demon-Suppressing Stele continued to spread, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Rong Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, blood seeping from her forehead. She could feel the demonic power retaliating fiercely, trying to completely destroy the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
She suddenly looked up at the giant blood-red eye, and a resolute determination rose in her heart.
Rong Jiaojiao flew into the sky and stood on top of the Demon Suppression Stele. The Twelve Yuan Chen Array spun wildly above her head, and twelve dazzling starlight burst out from the array, transforming into twelve huge zodiac phantoms that stood around the Demon Suppression Stele.
"The Twelve Zodiac Stars, heed my command—"
"Help me subdue the demon!"
Rong Jiaojiao clasped her hands together, and the illusory images of the twelve zodiac animals simultaneously transformed into streams of light, pouring into the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
"boom--"
The Demon-Suppressing Stele suddenly swelled, and the runes on its body lit up completely. The nine divine dragons merged into one, transforming into a five-clawed golden dragon that reached the heavens and the earth. The dragon's claws pressed down hard on the demon's eye, and its mouth opened wide, spewing out blazing dragon breath!
"roar--"
The dragon's roar shook the heavens, the demonic eyes trembled violently, and fear appeared in its scarlet pupils.
"Isn't that enough?"
"Since that's the case, then I'll use my lifeblood as a sacrifice to completely seal off your escape route!"
She suddenly raised her hand, her five fingers forming a claw, and plunged it fiercely into her own heart!
"Jiaojiao!" Mo Bai's pupils shrank suddenly, and he reached out to stop her, but it was too late.
A drop of her heart's blood seeped from Rong Jiaojiao's fingertip, hovering above her palm, gleaming with a faint golden light.
Without hesitation, she slapped the drop of blood onto the Demon-Suppressing Stele—
"With my lifeblood, I summon the true spirits of the Nine Dragons!"
"boom--!!!"
The Demon-Suppressing Stele suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light, and the cracks in its body instantly healed. The drop of heart's blood transformed into nine golden threads, flowing along the dragon patterns. Each time it passed a rune, it triggered earth-shattering thunder.
The blood-red demonic eye suddenly contracted violently, and a terrifying scene was reflected in its pupils—nine phantom dragons began to move on the surface of the monument, their scales standing up and transforming into countless golden chains that burst forth from the sky!
