With the Great Emperor might of the Ziwei Emperor Bell and her own unwavering will, the Snow Empress gradually suppressed the black tsunami. The purple light grew stronger and stronger, constantly eroding the black tsunami, and its size continued to shrink.
Black Sea General's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected the Snow Empress to be so tenacious, able to suppress his ultimate move even with the immense depletion of her Ziwei Emperor Power. He was extremely anxious and hurriedly circulated the remaining Yin and Evil Qi within his body, trying to further enhance the power of the Black Tsunami. However, most of his Yin and Evil Qi had already been consumed, making it impossible to increase the tsunami's power any further.
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Black Sea General roared, his eyes filled with resentment. "How could I possibly lose to a mere Snow Empress like you!"
The Snow Empress sneered, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and once again activated the remaining Ziwei Emperor Power within her, maximizing the power of the Ziwei Emperor Bell. " Black Sea General, your death is near!"
With Snow Empress's loud shout, the Ziwei Emperor Bell emitted a resounding chime that shook the heavens and earth. The purple light instantly engulfed the black tsunami and bombarded the Black Sea General. The Black Sea General's face turned pale. He was completely unable to resist this attack and could only watch helplessly as the purple light hurtled towards him.
"Boom!"
The purple light struck the Black Sea General with a deafening roar. The Black Sea General let out a shrill wail as his black armor shattered instantly. The evil energy within his body was rapidly purified by the purple light, and his meridians were also shattered. His body gradually became transparent, eventually turning into a wisp of black smoke that dissipated into the seawater, leaving only a black longsword that fell into the water and slowly sank.
The Snow Empress swayed, nearly falling into the sea. Her Ziwei Emperor Power was completely exhausted, her aura was extremely weak, and her meridians had suffered some damage. However, a victorious smile appeared on her face. She knew that she had defeated the Black Sea General, clearing another obstacle for everyone in their search for the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant.
"Holy Maiden!" Qingyunzi was overjoyed to see Snow Empress defeat the Black Sea General. He quickly led his disciples toward Snow Empress. At this moment, the disciples were covered in wounds and their auras were extremely weak. Many disciples were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting, but they all had victorious smiles on their faces.
"Holy Maiden, are you alright?" Qingyunzi helped Snow Empress up, asking with concern and worry in his eyes.
Snow Empress shook her head, smiled, and said, "I'm fine. It's just that the Ziwei Emperor Power within me has been completely exhausted. I just need to rest. Everyone has worked hard. We have won this battle."
She paused, then continued, "Everyone, rest where you are, heal the injured disciples, and restore your strength. There are still many dangers in the East Sea, and the people of the Underworld will surely set up ambushes again. We must conserve our energy to deal with the dangers ahead and successfully find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant."
"Yes!" the disciples responded in unison, each finding a relatively safe spot in the sea to float and begin to meditate and heal their injured companions. Snow Empress leaned against Qingyunzi and also closed her eyes to meditate, circulating the last bit of Ziwei Emperor Power within her to restore her strength. At the same time, she was also vigilantly observing the surrounding movements to prevent the people from the Underworld from returning and setting up another ambush.
About three hours later, both Snow Empress and Qingyunzi had recovered most of their strength. Snow Empress's Ziwei Emperor Power had recovered to 70%, and her damaged meridians had also been repaired to some extent. Qingyunzi's spiritual energy had also recovered to 70%, and his wounds had basically healed. The disciples had also rested enough, and the injured disciples' injuries had been significantly relieved, allowing them to continue.
The Snow Empress stood up, her gaze sweeping over the disciples present. Her voice was firm as she said, "Has everyone rested well? We will continue our journey, heading towards the East Sea Dragon Palace. The East Sea Dragon Palace is located in the deepest part of this sea. Not only does it contain the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, but it is also guarded by many powerful Demonic Beast. Moreover, the people of the Underworld will undoubtedly have laid ambushes ahead. We must be extremely careful, exert all our strength, overcome all obstacles, find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, avenge our fallen comrades, and strive for hope for all living beings!"
"Find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant! Avenge our fellow disciples! Protect all living beings!" The disciples shouted in unison, their voices booming and echoing throughout the East Sea. Their eyes were filled with determination, and the fatigue and pain from the battle had transformed into motivation to move forward.
The Snow Empress raised her hand, manipulating the Ziwei Emperor Bell, which hovered above everyone's heads. A faint purple light flickered on the Emperor Bell, emanating a subtle imperial aura that could suppress the surrounding evil energy and protect everyone. "Alright, let's set off. Be extremely careful. No matter what dangers we encounter, we must work together, side by side, and we will definitely find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant!"
"Yes!" the disciples responded in unison, quickly composing themselves and following behind Snow Empress and Qingyunzi, heading deeper into the East Sea. The water grew deeper, the surrounding light dimmed, and visibility dropped to less than a meter. Moreover, although the malevolent energy in the seawater had weakened somewhat, it still lingered, and the faint roars of Demonic Beast could be heard, sending chills down their spines. Yet, their steps were exceptionally firm. They knew that the road ahead would be fraught with difficulties and dangers, but they would not back down. No matter what dangers they encountered, they would give their all. For the sake of all living beings and for their fallen comrades, they had to find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, gather the three ancient treasures, and completely destroy the Underworld's conspiracy.
Meanwhile, atop Mount Hua, the battle between the Daoist Kunlun and the Wudang Sect Leader against the Netherworld Lord had reached its climax. The sacrifice of the Shaolin Sect Abbot had completely ignited their fighting spirit. Ignoring their injuries, they fought with all their might, engaging in a desperate struggle against the Netherworld Lord. The Daoist Kunlun's Daoist Evil-Slaying Sword was incredibly sharp, each strike inflicting damage on the Netherworld Lord; the Wudang Sect Leader's whisk was agile and unpredictable, constantly unleashing streaks of white energy towards the Netherworld Lord, making Netherworld Lord unable to defend against them.
Although Netherworld Lord burned his soul to enhance his cultivation and reach the Dragon Transformation Nine Changes Middle Stage, he was also severely injured. The evil energy within him had been largely purified by the Buddhist light of the Shaolin Sect abbot, and his aura had become extremely weak. He looked at the Daoist Kunlun and the Wudang Sect leader with eyes full of anger and resentment. He never expected that he would be forced to such a state by two righteous masters at the Peak of the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation.
"Damn it! You two bastards, how dare you hurt me! Today, even if I have to give my life, I will drag you down with me!" The Netherworld Lord roared, a resolute glint in his eyes. He burned his soul once more, the evil energy within him surging wildly, his aura growing ever stronger. "Netherworld Ultimate Technique, Evil Soul Self-Explosion!"
