With Li Jiuyuan joining them, the Tiangang Demon Subjugation Formation stabilized once more.
Above Master Jiekong, the Venerable Tathagata Image took on a gauzy veil of starlight.
The formation's fluctuations grew fierce. In the depths of the starry sky, the power of starlight surged toward them like floodwaters bursting through a dam.
Under Master Jiekong's lead, the formation was pushed to its limit.
The seven within it felt their blood boil and their veins bulge. A vast power their bodies could scarcely contain seemed ready to burst out of them at any moment, bringing them all immense pain.
Of the seven, Master Jiekong, who led them, suffered most visibly.
As the formation's guide, he bore pressure almost equal to that of the others combined.
Crimson blood streamed from the corners of his mouth. Beneath the glow of Buddha light, his bronze skin looked ready to split apart.
Blood surged through his flesh, opening a web of fine cracks.
In the blink of an eye, blood covered his entire body, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.
Master Jiekong seemed oblivious to what was happening to him. His hands continued forming one Buddha Seal after another.
Above him, the Venerable Tathagata Image shone brilliantly, as though a true Buddha had descended.
Each time Master Jiekong completed a sequence of Buddha Seals, the image slowly moved its palm. Buddha light blazed, and a swastika seal ten thousand zhang across descended from the depths of the void.
The seal spun, accompanied by the faint forms of countless Buddhist Sect scriptures, and slammed into Demon God Xuantianjun.
Before anyone realized it, the other six had become support for the assault.
Master Jiekong had become the main force attacking Lord Xuantian.
The seven worked together with a single purpose, without a trace of any other thought.
