Her breathing recovered significantly in a short period of time.
"Such powerful strength!" the Snow Empress exclaimed, a hint of confidence flashing in her eyes. "With the White Tiger Token, I'm confident I can fight the Black Dragon Lord!"
"That's good." Daoist Kunlun nodded. "Let's join forces to deal with the Black Dragon Lord, and the rest of you, deal with the Underworld soldiers and dragon-shaped Demonic Beast!"
"Yes!" the disciples responded in unison, circulating their spiritual energy and preparing for battle.
Black Dragon Lord's face turned extremely ugly as he looked at the sudden appearance of the righteous reinforcements. He hadn't expected that Daoist Kunlun and the leader of the Wudang Sect would arrive at the East Sea so quickly, and bring so many righteous disciples with them.
"Damn it! You righteous scum, you're truly persistent!" Black Dragon Lord cursed angrily, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. "But even if you come, what can you do? I can still slaughter you all!"
"How arrogant!" Snow Empress sneered, wielding the White Tiger Token and with the Ziwei Emperor Bell above her head, she flashed forward, charging towards Black Dragon Lord. " Ziwei Emperor Technique, White Tiger Power, Yin and Yang united, Imperial Might Overwhelming!"
The White Tiger Token and the Ziwei Emperor Bell simultaneously erupted with dazzling light. The white aura of righteousness and the purple imperial might intertwined to form a massive pillar of light that blasted towards the Black Dragon Lord. Wherever the pillar of light passed, the evil energy in the air was instantly purified. Underworld soldiers and controlled dragon-shaped Demonic Beast that were touched by the pillar of light would instantly turn to ashes.
Black Dragon Lord's expression changed drastically. He could sense that the power contained within this pillar of light was extremely terrifying, and even he dared not take it head-on.
" Dark Dragon Wall!" the Black Dragon Lord roared, wielding his dragon-shaped scepter with a mighty swing. A thicker black light barrier appeared before him, attempting to block the attack of the light pillar.
"Boom--!"
The beam of light slammed into the Dark Dragon Wall with a deafening roar. The Dark Dragon Wall trembled violently, its black light flashing incessantly, and countless fine cracks appeared. The Black Dragon Lord's face turned deathly pale. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to maintain the Dark Dragon Wall, but the cracks grew larger and denser.
"Break!" Snow Empress shouted, activating the White Tiger Token and the Ziwei Emperor Bell once more, increasing the power of the pillar of light.
"Snap--!"
The Dark Dragon Wall finally succumbed to the attack of the beam of light and shattered with a deafening roar. The beam of light continued its relentless assault on the Black Dragon Lord.
"No--!" The Black Dragon Lord roared in unwilling anger, trying to dodge, but it was too late. The beam of light struck his body instantly, engulfing him in light.
"Ah--!"
The Black Dragon Lord let out a shrill scream. His black dragon robe was instantly torn to shreds by the pillar of light. The evil energy within his body was rapidly purified by the righteous energy and imperial might. His meridians were also shattered by the pillar of light. His body became transparent and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke, dissipating into the air. Only the dragon-shaped scepter remained, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.
Snow Empress swayed, almost falling to the ground. The Ziwei Emperor Power within her body was once again completely exhausted, and the White Tiger Token lost its luster, turning back into an ordinary white token. But a victorious smile appeared on her face.
"We've won! We've won!" the disciples cheered in unison, their eyes filled with joy.
The Daoist Kunlun and the Wudang Sect leader also showed relieved smiles. They came to Snow Empress's side and helped her up, "Holy Maiden, are you alright?"
Snow Empress shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine, I just used up too much energy, I'll be fine after a rest. Thank you so much, Daoist and Sect Leader, for coming to our aid in time, otherwise, we would have been unable to defeat the Black Dragon Lord."
"You're too kind, Holy Maiden." Daoist Kunlun waved his hand. "We are both from the Dao Yi path, and it's only right that we help each other. Now that the Black Dragon Lord is dead and our ambush in the Underworld has been defeated, let's hurry and find the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant."
The Snow Empress nodded, her gaze falling into the depths of the Dragon Palace. " The Azure Dragon Jade Pendant should be located in the deepest part of the Dragon Palace. Let's go!"
After speaking, Snow Empress, supported by Qingyunzi, led the group towards the depths of the Dragon Palace. Inside the Dragon Palace, it was magnificent and resplendent, filled with precious jewels and jade, but no one had the heart to appreciate it. Their only goal was the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant.
Passing through the Dao Palace and along long corridors, the group finally arrived at the deepest part of the Dragon Palace —the Dragon King's Hall. The Dragon King's Hall was extremely magnificent. Inside, there was a huge dragon throne, upon which were carved nine lifelike five-clawed golden dragons, exuding a powerful dragon aura. In front of the dragon throne, there was a white jade platform, on which lay a blue jade pendant. On the pendant was carved a blue dragon, its body radiating a faint blue light and a majestic aura.
" Azure Dragon Jade Pendant!" Everyone was overjoyed, their eyes filled with excitement.
Snow Empress walked to the stone platform and carefully picked up the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant. The pendant felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a powerful Azure Dragon force instantly surged into her body, resonating and merging with the power of the Ziwei Emperor Power and the White Tiger Token. At this moment, her cultivation actually broke through the bottleneck, directly advancing from the mid-stage of the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation to the Peak of the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation, only one step away from the Dragon Transformation Nine Changes.
"Congratulations, Holy Maiden, on your great progress in cultivation!" Qingyunzi hurriedly offered his congratulations.
The Snow Empress smiled, her eyes filled with joy. "This Azure Dragon Jade Pendant truly lives up to its reputation. Now, we have gathered the three ancient treasures: the Ziwei Emperor Bell, the White Tiger Token, and the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant. As long as we fuse the power of these three treasures together, we can completely destroy the Underworld's conspiracy and defeat the Great Emperor Fengdu!"
"Great!" the disciples cheered in unison, their eyes filled with hope.
The Daoist Kunlun and the Wudang Sect leader also showed relieved smiles. They knew they were one step closer to final victory.
"There's no time to lose. We must leave the East Sea Dragon Palace immediately, return to Kunlun Mountain, and find a way to fuse the power of the three supreme treasures to completely destroy the Underworld!" the Snow Empress said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, then turned and walked out of the Dragon Palace.
However, just as they stepped out of the Dragon King's Palace, the entire East Sea Dragon Palace suddenly trembled violently. An extremely terrifying aura emanated from the depths of the Dragon Palace, making it almost impossible for everyone to breathe.
Snow Empress's expression changed drastically, "This is bad, there's an even stronger enemy!"
Everyone turned to look, and saw a black crack slowly tear open behind the dragon throne in the Dragon King's Palace. A figure dressed in a black imperial robe and wearing a black imperial crown, exuding endless sinister energy, walked out of the crack.
"Feng... Great Emperor Fengdu!" Daoist Kunlun exclaimed in shock, his face turning deathly pale instantly.
