"Not good!" The black-robed man's expression changed drastically. He could feel the terrifying power contained within the flames, capable of completely purifying the death energy within his body, and even burning his soul to ashes. He tried to dodge, but the speed of the Heaven-Burning Lie Yan was too fast, instantly enveloping him. The black-robed man let out a shrill scream, his body struggling in the flames. The death energy within his body was rapidly purified, the panel began to carbonize, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke, dissipating into the air. Only the Yin Sha Token fell to the ground, having lost its luster.
After defeating the man in black robes, Snow Empress could no longer hold on. Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground. Her breath was extremely weak, her face was as pale as paper, and the purple light on her body had almost completely disappeared. The price of the Ziwei Heaven-Burning Art was greater than she had imagined. But she did not forget her purpose. She struggled to her feet and walked step by step toward the stone platform, picking up the fragment of the Emperor Bell.
The fragment was warm to the touch, swirling with purple light, and resonated strongly with the Emperor Bell in her dantian. The Snow Empress placed the fragment into her dantian, merging it with the Emperor Bell. Instantly, a pure surge of Ziwei Power flowed from the Emperor Bell, nourishing her damaged meridians and dantian, and her aura gradually recovered. At the same time, the Emperor Bell's power increased to fifty percent, several cracks on its surface decreased, the purple light became more condensed, and its imperial might grew even more awe-inspiring.
The Snow Empress sat cross-legged on the stone platform, closed her eyes, and began to circulate the Ziwei Sect's cultivation techniques, absorbing the spiritual energy in the valley Ziwei Power emanating from the Emperor Bell to restore her cultivation. The spiritual energy in the valley was extremely rich, and with the assistance of the Emperor Bell, her cultivation recovered quickly, not only making up for her previous depletion but also showing faint signs of breaking through to the third transformation of the Third Transformation of Dragon Transformation Realm. After an unknown amount of time, the Snow Empress opened her eyes, her pupils sparkling with starlight, her aura even stronger than before, having successfully broken through to the third transformation of the Third Transformation of Dragon Transformation Realm.
She stood up, stretched her limbs, and felt the surging power within her, a smile appearing on her face. With this fragment, the power of the Emperor Bell had greatly increased, and her strength had also been significantly enhanced. Even if she encountered a black-robed man like the one before, she could easily deal with him. However, the Snow Empress was not complacent. She knew that this was only the beginning. The power of the Underworld was still formidable, there were still many more fragments to find, and the mysterious forces behind it were still lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.
Just then, the Emperor Bell trembled slightly again, and several more points of light appeared on its surface. One of these points emanated from the direction of Heavenly Melody Valley. The Snow Empress's heart skipped a beat. Luo Qingyin had gone back to warn Heavenly Melody Valley to prepare for defenses. Could it be that Heavenly Melody Valley Heavenly Melody Valley was in trouble? Or was another fragment of the Emperor Bell nearby?
Thinking of this, Snow Empress dared not delay. With a flash, she transformed into a purple streak of light and flew towards Heavenly Melody Valley. She had to get to Heavenly Melody Valley as soon as possible to see if Luo Qingyin was safe, and at the same time, search for the other fragment of the Emperor Bell.
Meanwhile, a tense atmosphere Heavenly Melody Valley Heavenly Melody Valley. Upon returning, Luo Qingyin immediately recounted the events of the Bottomless Abyss and the Underworld's conspiracy to the Heavenly Melody Valley Master, Heavenly Melody Elder. Heavenly Melody Elder, Mighty One Power realm with profound cultivation, became extremely grave after hearing Luo Qingyin's words.
" The Underworld is so rampant! Not only did they collude with mysterious forces to destroy the Ziwei Sect, but they also want to refine the Ten Thousand Yin Banner to awaken the ancient evil god. It's utterly insane!" Heavenly Melody Elder's tone was icy, and his body exuded a powerful aura. " Qingyin, you did a good job sending the message back in time. Otherwise, Heavenly Melody Valley might have also been attacked by the Underworld."
"Valley Master, the Snow Empress is still searching for the fragments of the Emperor Bell. The Underworld officials are definitely hunting her down. Should we send someone to help her?" Luo Qingyin asked worriedly. She and the Snow Empress had fought side by side and had long since formed a deep bond. At this moment, her heart was filled with concern for the Snow Empress.
Heavenly Melody Elder shook his head and said, "No. The Underworld's messengers are now everywhere. If we send people out, we'll only alert them. Not only will we fail to save the Snow Empress, but we might also put Heavenly Melody Valley in danger. Moreover, the Underworld's target isn't just the Snow Empress Emperor Bell, but also you, with your Pure Spirit Physique. They will definitely send people to attack Heavenly Melody Valley. We must be prepared and protect the disciples of Heavenly Melody Valley."
Luo Qingyin nodded, knowing that Heavenly Melody Elder was right. But she was still worried about the Snow Empress Snow Empress could only pray silently that he would be safe and sound.
In the following days, Heavenly Melody Valley was on high alert. The disciples intensified their cultivation, while the elders set up layers of restrictions to guard the entrance of Heavenly Melody Valley. Luo Qingyin was not idle either. While cultivating and improving her cultivation, she sent people to inquire about the Snow Empress and search for the traces of the Emperor Bell fragments.
That day, Luo Qingyin was cultivating in the back mountain of Heavenly Melody Valley when she suddenly sensed a familiar aura, along with a faint aura of the Emperor Bell. Overjoyed, she immediately stopped cultivating and flew towards the direction from which the aura came. Deep in the back mountain, there was an ancient pavilion, and inside the pavilion, a woman dressed in a purple dress was sitting—it was the Snow Empress.
" Snow Empress!" Luo Qingyin quickly stepped forward, a joyful smile on her face. "I'm so glad you're alright. I was so worried about you."
Snow Empress raised her head, saw Luo Qingyin, and smiled, "I'm fine. Thanks to this fragment of the Emperor Bell, not only was the Emperor Bell repaired, but my cultivation also broke through to the Third Transformation of Dragon Transformation." As she spoke, she took out the Emperor Bell from her dantian. Purple light flowed on the Emperor Bell, and its power was even stronger than before.
Luo Qingyin looked at the Emperor Bell with surprise in her eyes. "That's great! The Emperor Bell's power has increased again. This gives us even more confidence in fighting against the Underworld. By the way, how did you end up in Heavenly Melody Valley? Is the other fragment here?"
Snow Empress nodded and said, "That's right. The light from the fragment of the Emperor Bell led me here. It seems the other fragment is near Heavenly Melody Valley. Also, I was worried you might be in trouble, so I came to check on you."
"I'm fine here. The Valley Master has already set up a protective barrier, so the people from the Underworld shouldn't dare to attack easily," Luo Qingyin said. "However, I've sent people to investigate, and they've learned that quite a few Underworld have been active near Heavenly Melody Valley recently, probably targeting me and the fragment."
Snow Empress's expression hardened. "It seems the Underworld is acting quickly. We must find the fragments as soon as possible, otherwise, if the Underworld gets there first, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Just then, the figure of Heavenly Melody Elder appeared outside the pavilion. He looked at the Snow Empress with an approving expression in his eyes. " Saintess Snow Empress, you are indeed extraordinary in courage and wisdom. At such a young age, you have such cultivation and have even thwarted the Underworld's conspiracy. It is truly remarkable."
Snow Empress quickly stood up and bowed to Heavenly Melody Elder: "Junior Snow Empress greets Heavenly Melody Valley. Thank you for taking care of Qingyin, and thank you for your willingness to lend a helping hand in our fight against the Underworld."
