Snow Empress felt a powerful force surge into her body in an instant, severely damaging her meridians. She spat out a mouthful of blood and was involuntarily thrown backward, crashing heavily into the yellow sand. The Ziwei Emperor Bell also dimmed and trembled slightly, hovering beside her, no longer able to emit its powerful imperial might.
Netherworld General was also not doing well. The imperial might of the Ziwei Emperor Bell had a strong restraining effect on his evil energy. Moreover, Snow Empress's attack also contained powerful Ziwei Emperor Power. He took a few steps back, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his aura became weaker. However, a triumphant smile appeared in his eyes.
" Snow Empress, weren't you so powerful? Didn't you want to stop me? Now, why can't you?" Netherworld General walked step by step towards Snow Empress Snow Empress, his black spear pointing at her head, his tone arrogant, "Hand over the Ziwei Emperor Bell obediently and surrender, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, today, I will make sure your soul is scattered and you are never reincarnated!"
Snow Empress lay in the yellow sand, looking at Netherworld General with eyes full of resentment and anger. She wanted to stand up and continue fighting, but the Ziwei Emperor Power within her body had been completely exhausted, and her meridians had been severely damaged, making it impossible for her to move. She looked at Qingyunzi beside her and the disciples around her, her heart filled with guilt. She felt that she had dragged everyone down, dragged Qingyunzi down, and dragged down those fellow disciples who had sacrificed themselves.
"Holy Maiden, don't give up!" Qingyunzi struggled to his feet and walked step by step towards the Snow Empress. Blood continued to flow from his wounds, and his aura was extremely weak, but his eyes were full of determination. "We are comrades-in-arms. No matter what danger we encounter, we will be by your side, together we will defeat the Netherworld General, together we will find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, and together we will protect all living beings!"
The righteous disciples around them struggled to their feet and moved closer to Snow Empress and Qingyunzi. They were all injured to varying degrees, and their auras were somewhat weakened, but their eyes were filled with determination. They shouted in unison, "Holy Maiden, we will fight alongside you! Defeat the Netherworld General, find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, and protect all living beings!"
Hearing her disciples' shouts, Snow Empress was deeply moved. The resentment and anger in her eyes were gradually replaced by determination. She knew that she could not give up, could not drag everyone down, and could not let down those who had sacrificed their lives. She had to stand up again, awaken the full power of the Ziwei Emperor Bell, defeat the Netherworld General, and lead everyone to continue the search for the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant.
Snow Empress closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and once again engaged in deep communication with the Ziwei Emperor Bell, sensing the imperial power contained within the Emperor Bell and awakening the Ziwei Emperor Soul within her body. At the same time, she circulated the last remaining trace of Ziwei Emperor Power within her body, guiding the power of the Ziwei Emperor Soul to repair her damaged meridians.
Gradually, a dazzling purple light emanated from Snow Empress's body once again. The power of the Ziwei Emperor Soul within her body was awakened again, and it was even more concentrated and powerful than before. Her aura was also rapidly increasing, gradually approaching the middle stage of the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation of the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation from the early stage. Her damaged meridians were also rapidly repaired under the nourishment of the power of the Ziwei Emperor Soul.
Seeing this, Netherworld General's eyes flashed with surprise and fear. "What? You can actually awaken the power of the Ziwei Emperor Soul and improve your cultivation? That's impossible!" He dared not be careless and immediately circulated the Yin and evil energy in his body. The black spear in his hand once again condensed into a huge spear shadow and bombarded the Snow Empress Snow Empress, wanting to kill her before she could recover.
"Don't hurt the Holy Maiden!" Qingyunzi shouted, using the last bit of spiritual energy in his body. He swung his cyan longsword and blasted it towards the spear shadow. At the same time, he moved to block in front of the Snow Empress Snow Empress, trying to buy her time.
"You're courting death!" Netherworld General sneered, and the power of the spear shadow increased once again, instantly shattering Qingyunzi's sword energy and blasting towards Qingyunzi. Qingyunzi's face was pale, and he was completely unable to resist this attack. He could only watch helplessly as the spear shadow bombarded him.
At this critical moment, the Snow Empress suddenly opened her eyes, which flashed with dazzling purple light. The Ziwei Emperor Qi around her intensified, and her imperial might reached its peak. With a wave of her hand, the Ziwei Emperor Bell floating beside her instantly erupted with dazzling purple light, its resounding chime shaking the heavens and earth as it blasted towards the spear shadow. " Ziwei Emperor Technique, Ultimate Form, Ziwei Extermination of Evil!"
With a deafening roar, the Ziwei Emperor Bell collided with the spear shadow. The purple light instantly engulfed the black spear shadow, and the powerful shockwave forced the Netherworld General to retreat repeatedly, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. His armor was also shattered by the power of the Emperor Bell, his meridians were severely damaged, and his aura became extremely weak.
Snow Empress moved swiftly, arriving beside Qingyunzi and supporting him, asking gently, " Qingyunzi, are you alright?"
Qingyunzi shook his head, looking at Snow Empress with surprise and admiration in his eyes. "Holy Maiden, you... your cultivation has actually broken through to the mid-stage of the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation?"
The Snow Empress smiled and said, "Thanks to everyone's encouragement and the power of the Ziwei Emperor Soul, I not only repaired my damaged meridians but also broke through to the mid-stage of the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation. Now, let's defeat the Netherworld General together and continue our journey to the East Sea Dragon Palace to find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant."
"Alright!" Qingyunzi nodded, a determined look flashing in his eyes. He circulated the remaining spiritual energy in his body to repair his wounds. At the same time, he infused the cyan longsword in his hand with spiritual energy again, preparing to defeat the Netherworld General together with Snow Empress.
The righteous disciples around her were overjoyed to see Snow Empress break through her cultivation level. Their morale soared, and they circulated their spiritual energy to heal their wounds, preparing to fight alongside Snow Empress and defeat the Netherworld General.
Netherworld General lay in the yellow sand, looking at the Snow Empress with eyes full of fear and resentment. He hadn't expected that the Snow Empress would break through to the mid-stage of the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation in such a short time and awaken the full power of the Ziwei Emperor Bell. He knew that he was no longer a match for the Snow Empress, and continuing to persist would only lead to his own destruction.
"Damn it! Snow Empress, you just wait! Today, I will retreat for now, but one day I will return with even more Underworld experts to seize the Ziwei Emperor Bell, stop you from finding the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, and complete the mission given to me by the Great Emperor Fengdu!" The Netherworld General roared, using the last trace of his sinister energy, he stood up and turned to flee towards the edge of the wasteland. The Underworld soldiers and demons behind him, seeing the Netherworld General flee, scattered and fled, daring not to linger any longer.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Snow Empress shouted coldly, manipulating the Ziwei Emperor Bell to bombard the Netherworld General and the fleeing Underworld soldiers, demons, and monsters. The Emperor Bell blazed with purple light, and the sound of the bell rang out continuously. Each bell rang, killing off a group of fleeing underworld soldiers and Underworld, and each purple light severely injured an Underworld expert.
