Lin Xiaoman formed hand seals, and a golden net of light transformed into chains that wrapped around the bone dragon's neck.
"Quick! Continue purifying it while it's trapped!" Her voice was drowned out by the demon's roar.
Jun Yuangui tapped his longsword on the ground, and nine sword beams shot into the sky, shredding the demonic spirit that was rushing towards Rong Jiaojiao into pieces.
Qi Lan's sword light flashed with azure light, instantly splitting into ten thousand sword energies, shredding the evil cultivator into bloody foam.
The fox tail at the tip of the fox clan elder's staff suddenly burst into flames, and nine fiery fox phantoms lunged into the depths of the blood pool: "This blood pool is powering the demonic array! It must be destroyed!"
The White Tiger Clan Chief roared, his claws tearing through the air, smashing the three-headed demon wolf that tried to approach Rong Jiaojiao into a bloody pulp.
The Silver Wolf Clan elder's silver eyes gleamed with a sinister light, and he opened his mouth to unleash a sonic wave that shattered dozens of blood spiders that had emerged from the ground.
However, just as the light from the Demon-Suppressing Stele was about to penetrate the "Absolute" Seal, alarm bells rang in Rong Jiaojiao's heart, and a sense of impending doom washed over her.
She shouted, "Take off!"
Upon hearing this, everyone leaped into the air. Rong Jiaojiao also wanted to use her spiritual power to fly, but because she was controlling the Demon-Suppressing Stele, she was a moment too late. In that one moment, she fell into the abyss.
The moment everyone took flight, the entire blood pool and altar exploded, revealing a massive, gaping maw of blood-red abyss.
Rong Jiaojiao was being pulled in by a suction force and couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried, while the Jue Seal was rapidly falling downwards.
Mo Bai and Jun Yuangui's eyes were bloodshot with rage as they simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks. Mo Bai's blood-red greatsword, wreathed in monstrous blood energy, transformed into a crimson dragon that charged into the abyss, attempting to rescue Rong Jiaojiao.
Jun Yuangui's longsword unleashed a dazzling sword light, and nine sword beams shot towards the Absolute Seal like chains, attempting to pull it back.
However, an even more terrifying power suddenly erupted from the abyss, and a pitch-black tentacle emerged from the abyss, slamming down on the blood-red dragon and the sword-wielding chains.
The crimson dragon instantly disintegrated, and the sword energy chains also broke inch by inch.
Rong Jiaojiao felt the pressure around her increase dramatically, and the light of the Demon Suppression Stele became extremely weak under this power.
Without hesitation, Qi Lan and Lin Xiaoman swooped down. Qi Lan's myriad sword energies transformed into a shield to protect Rong Jiaojiao, while Lin Xiaoman once again summoned a golden light net to try to slow her descent.
Leng Qianjue, Shen Wuchen, and the others stopped entangled with the surrounding demonic spirits and unleashed powerful spells to bombard the abyss, trying to stop the terrifying suction force.
A resolute look flashed in the eyes of the Fox Clan's Grand Elder, and the nine phantom fire foxes at the top of his staff burst into flames, transforming into a massive pillar of fire that shot toward the abyss.
"Even if I have to give it my all today, I will protect the one who holds the Nine Dragon Seal!" he shouted, his aura surging, and a huge phantom of a nine-tailed fox appeared behind him.
The White Tiger Clan elder and the Silver Wolf Clan elder exchanged a glance, then simultaneously let out a long howl, their auras surging as they unleashed their strongest killing move together with the Fox Clan's Grand Elder.
With everyone's combined attack, the suction force in the abyss weakened slightly.
Rong Jiaojiao's spiritual power was unstable, and she could no longer maintain the Demon-Suppressing Stele. Seeing that it was about to fall into the abyss, she had no choice but to use her divine sense to shatter the Demon-Suppressing Stele and send it back to its respective owner.
The Twelve Yuan Chen Natal Array flew out from the sea of consciousness, protecting Rong Jiaojiao within. Just as the Absolute Seal was about to disappear, the twelfth array bead lit up, and Rong Jiaojiao softly called out: "Hai Bead, spatial domain."
With Rong Jiaojiao's command, the Haizhu burst forth with dazzling light, and the surrounding space suddenly froze.
Jueyin suddenly stopped falling and hovered half a zhang above the abyss's gaping maw. The black mist surrounding it twisted wildly like a living thing, trying to break free from the spatial constraints.
"Now!" Shen Wuchen pointed his sword into the air, and dozens of cyan sword energies, like swimming dragons, darted through the demon spirits, heading straight for the blood-red runes at the edge of the abyss.
Those runes were the key to maintaining the Blood Fiend Teleportation Array. As the sword energy blasted in, ripples began to spread around the altar, and the roars of the demon spirits were mixed with the crisp sound of the array collapsing.
The nine-tailed fox phantom of the Great Elder of the Fox Clan slammed into the black tentacles with the pillar of fire. In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and the surface of the tentacles was scorched with black cracks.
However, a low rumble came from the depths of the abyss, and more dark tentacles burst out of the ground. One of them, carrying a foul wind, shot towards Rong Jiaojiao, who was suspended in mid-air!
At the critical moment, Qi Lan suddenly bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood essence onto her natal flying sword: "Transform!"
A burst of azure light erupted, and myriad sword energies condensed in mid-air into a gigantic azure phantom, its wings spreading to tightly entangle the tentacles.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xiaoman threw out the golden chain, and together with Qingluan, they pulled the tentacles off course.
Mo Bai and Jun Yuangui leaped up, stepping on the shattered remains of the bone dragon. Mo Bai's blood energy condensed into a three-zhang-long giant blade, while Jun Yuangui's nine sword energies transformed into a flowing longsword. The two roared in unison and slashed towards the gaping maw of the abyss.
With a deafening roar, the bloodstone at the edge of the abyss shattered inch by inch, and the suction force weakened accordingly.
"Collect!" Rong Jiaojiao lightly raised her jade hand, and the Twelve Yuan Chen Natal Array transformed into a stream of light that wrapped around the Absolute Seal.
The formation resonated with the spatial domain, and the black patterns on the surface of the seal began to peel away inch by inch.
However, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the abyss, and pitch-black tentacles surged forth like a tide. One of them even pierced through the phantom of the Azure Phoenix and struck Rong Jiaojiao hard!
As blood splattered, Rong Jiaojiao was sent flying backward.
At the critical moment, Yue Ling transformed into a silver light and lifted her up, while the pure energy accumulated in the jade bottle surged wildly into her body.
Zi Ling also let out a sharp cry, and the lightning and fire around her surged three times, forming a lightning and fire barrier around her.
"We can't let her fall!" Leng Qianjue unleashed all the talismans, which exploded in the air into a golden light curtain.
Li Yun led the Li family cultivators to form a sword formation, and the crisscrossing sword energy temporarily blocked the tentacles' attack.
"Break!" Despite her injuries, Rong Jiaojiao unleashed a dazzling light from the Twelve Yuan Chen Natal Array.
With a clear and melodious dragon's roar, the last trace of bloodthirsty energy on the Absolute Seal was completely purified, transforming into a stream of light that entered her brow.
At the same time, an unwilling roar came from the abyss, and all the tentacles retreated like a tide, causing the Blood Fiend Teleportation Array to collapse!
The violent blast wave swept across the entire area, throwing everyone into the air.
Once the dust settled, Rong Jiaojiao was seen weakly floating in the air, the Nine Dragon Seal on her forehead faintly visible, and the Twelve Yuan Chen Natal Array slowly flying back into her sea of consciousness.
The surrounding demonic spirits, having lost the support of the Blood Fiend Array, dissipated into black mist, while the bottomless Blood Fiend Abyss gradually closed amidst the roar.
"It's a success..." Lin Xiaoman slumped to the ground, the golden light net dimming.
Just when everyone thought it was over, Rong Jiaojiao's heart palpitations grew stronger and stronger, and she was about to fly up by channeling her spiritual power.
But at that moment, a dark crack silently opened behind Rong Jiaojiao, like the third eye of an abyss opening.
