Snow Empress felt a powerful pressure rushing towards her, her meridians throbbing, her blood surging, and the little bit of energy she had just recovered began to weaken again.
"Everyone, pour all your spiritual energy into supporting the Saintess Snow Empress and reinforcing the Righteous Path Protection Array!" Daoist Kunlun roared. He knew that only by working together could they withstand the Black Impermanence's attack. He poured the last bit of spiritual energy in his body into the Ziwei Emperor Bell and shouted to the righteous path disciples and elders around him.
Hearing Daoist Kunlun's call, all the righteous disciples and elders exerted their utmost strength, channeling their vast spiritual energy into the Ziwei Emperor Bell and the Righteous Path Protection Array. Countless streams of white spiritual energy converged from all directions, merging into the Ziwei Emperor Bell Emperor Bell, causing its purple light to intensify once more and its imperial might to strengthen further. At the same time, the protective shield of the Righteous Path Protection Array became even more robust, blocking a portion of the Netherworld Ghost Hand's attack.
The Snow Empress felt the vast spiritual energy gathering around her, and her heart was filled with emotion and determination. She knew that she was not fighting alone; there were countless righteous cultivators fighting alongside her, and all living beings under heaven who needed her protection. She closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and completely opened her heart to communicate deeply with the Ziwei Emperor Bell Emperor Bell, comprehending the ancient imperial power contained within it.
Gradually, the Snow Empress began to emanate the same purple light as the Ziwei Emperor Bell, and her aura continued to rise, gradually approaching the Seventh Transformation of Dragon Transformation from the Sixth Transformation of Dragon Transformation. She could clearly feel that every bit of power and every rune within the Emperor Bell resonated with her mind. She seemed to see the scene in ancient times when the Great Emperor Ziwei held the Emperor Bell, suppressing evil spirits and protecting the world.
" Great Emperor Ziwei, grant me power to suppress evil and protect all living beings!" Snow Empress silently chanted in her heart, her hands forming a seal that resonated with the runes on the Emperor Bell. Instantly, the purple light on the Ziwei Emperor Bell surged to its peak, and the imperial might reached its zenith. A massive purple beam of light emanated from the Emperor Bell, blasting towards the Netherworld Ghost Hand. This purple beam of light contained the power of the ancient imperial path and the righteous spiritual energy of countless righteous cultivators, possessing boundless power. Wherever it passed, the evil energy dissipated, and even the yin fire on the Netherworld Ghost Hand was extinguished instantly.
With a deafening roar, the purple beam of light collided with the Netherworld Ghost Hand from the underworld. The black mist and purple light intertwined, bursting into dazzling sparks. The powerful shockwave swept across the entire Kunlun Mountain Range. The palaces and pavilions of the Kunlun Sect were shaken and on the verge of collapse. Large areas of snow collapsed, and rubble fell like raindrops.
Black Impermanence felt a powerful force rush towards him, his meridians shattering inch by inch. He spat out a mouthful of black blood and was involuntarily sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground. His malevolent energy drained away rapidly, and his aura became extremely weak. He had consumed two Yin Soul Pill, which temporarily boosted his cultivation, but also caused significant side effects. His soul was severely damaged, and the impact of being struck by the purple beam of light exacerbated his injuries, bringing him to the brink of death.
As for Snow Empress, having forcibly activated the full power of the Emperor Bell, she had exhausted a great deal of spiritual energy and mental strength. Her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground again, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her breath became extremely weak. But in her eyes, the light of victory shone. She knew that they had finally blocked Black Impermanence's strongest attack, and they finally had hope of defeating Black Impermanence and protecting all living beings.
The three Daoist Kunlun were also forced back by the powerful recoil, their wounds reopening and blood staining their clothes. However, a relieved smile appeared on their faces. They looked at the Black Impermanence lying on the ground, a hint of relief flashing in their eyes. They knew that in this arduous battle, they had finally seen the dawn of victory.
" Black Impermanence, you're at your wit's end. Surrender now, and perhaps I might spare your life!" Daoist Kunlun coldly shouted at Black Impermanence, his tone carrying a hint of authority. He knew that Black Impermanence was seriously injured and had no power to resist. Now was the perfect opportunity to defeat him completely.
Black Impermanence struggled to stand, but found himself utterly powerless. His Yin energy was nearly depleted, and the damage to his soul caused him immense pain. He looked at the three Daoist Kunlun, the Snow Empress lying on the ground, and the righteous cultivators standing guard around him. A glint of madness and resentment flashed in his eyes. "Surrender? Hahaha, impossible! I am the Impermanence of the Underworld! How could I possibly surrender to you righteous scum! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
Having said that, a resolute glint flashed in Black Impermanence's eyes. He formed a hand seal and silently chanted a forbidden incantation. His body began to gradually become transparent, and the evil energy around him began to gather wildly, surging towards his dantian. "Not good! Black Impermanence is trying to self-destruct his dantian and perish with us!" Daoist Kunlun's expression changed drastically, his voice filled with terror. He knew that the self-destruction of the dantian by a powerful Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation was incredibly powerful. Once it exploded, the entire Kunlun Mountain Range would be razed to the ground, and all the righteous cultivators would be annihilated.
"Everyone, retreat!" Daoist Kunlun shouted to the surrounding righteous cultivators, and at the same time, he moved and rushed towards Black Impermanence, trying to stop him from self-destructing his dantian. The Wudang Sect Leader and the Shaolin Sect Abbot also reacted immediately, following closely behind and rushing towards Black Impermanence. They knew that even if it cost them their lives, they had to stop Black Impermanence from self-destructing, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Snow Empress also sensed the danger. With the last bit of strength in her body, she manipulated the Ziwei Emperor Bell and blasted it towards Black Impermanence, trying to interrupt his forbidden incantation and prevent him from self-destructing his dantian. Purple light flashed on the Emperor Bell, carrying a powerful imperial might, as it smashed towards Black Impermanence.
But at this moment, Black Impermanence had made up his mind. No matter what, he was going to self-destruct his dantian and take all the righteous cultivators down with him. He ignored the attacks of the three Daoist Kunlun and the bombardment of the Ziwei Emperor Bell, and continued to silently chant the forbidden incantation. The evil energy in his body gathered faster and faster, and black light began to emanate from his dantian. A terrifying power was rapidly brewing.
"Boom!" The Ziwei Emperor Bell slammed into Black Impermanence Black Impermanence's body, causing him to tremble violently and spit out a mouthful of black blood. However, he did not stop chanting the incantation. The black light in his dantian grew increasingly intense, and the terrifying power became stronger and stronger. The attacks from the three Daoist Kunlun could only cause Black Impermanence's body to tremble slightly, unable to interrupt his forbidden incantation.
"It's over, we can't stop him!" The Wudang Sect leader's face was deathly pale, his voice filled with despair. He could feel that the power in Black Impermanence's dantian was about to erupt, and once it did, they would all be reduced to ashes.
