CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 343: THE FALLEN BLUE SILVER EMPEROR!

As the voice of the Slaughter King fell,everyone turned their heads toward the group of black-robed evil spirit masters. From the ground, a crimson magic array suddenly burst forth with intense blood light. At the same time, countless dark-red Blue Silver Grass vines erupted wildly, like hideous tentacles.

The Blue Silver Grass crowded together densely, leaving no gaps.

They coiled around the nearby evil spirit masters, dragging them into the main body of the Blue Silver Grass.

"Ah...!!!"

A chorus of miserable screams rang out from inside,followed by a sound like chewing.

"!!!"

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

The evil spirit masters had summoned the Fallen Blue Silver Emperor—only to become living sacrifices for it!

A look of shock appeared on Tang Hao’s face.

Tang San said in surprise, "Such a powerful aura..."

Indeed, the Blue Silver Emperor’s aura suddenly surged, rapidly surpassing the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, then a million-year soul beast... until it reached god-level!

The Slaughter King strode forward, arms open, his face full of eager anticipation.

"A thousand years of loneliness, a thousand years of hatred—Fallen Blue Silver Emperor, it’s time for you to come out!"

He approached within a few meters.

That thick cluster of dark-red Blue Silver Grass suddenly contracted, the light condensing into a solid form—revealing the body of a woman.

Tang Hao and Tang San stared unblinkingly.

Even though they had both fallen into the path of evil spirit masters, they still remembered their relationship with Ah Yin.

"Ah Yin..."

As Tang Hao murmured her name, Ah Yin finally appeared—long blood-red hair, a blood-red strapless gown, an alluring face, and a hand resting on her slender waist.

"King, thank you for your cultivation..." Ah Yin bowed to the Slaughter King.

The Slaughter King hugged Ah Yin tightly and said:

"Cultivation? Hahaha... That’s right. If not for me, this cramped, oppressive environment over these millennia would’ve long since caused you to wither away."

The Slaughter King turned to glance at Tang Hao with an unreadable expression.

"..." Tang Hao’s face stiffened.

Though he had already fallen, thinking back to what he’d done in the past still left him feeling somewhat helpless.

Tang Hao stepped forward, forcing an awkward smile.

"Ah Yin, it’s truly wonderful that you’ve been revived..."

Tang San also came forward, his eyes showing a trace of expectation as he looked at Ah Yin.

"Mom..."

Seeing them, Ah Yin let out a cold laugh, raising her smooth chin. "These two males disgust me! King, may I kill them?"

Tang Hao froze for a moment, then anger flashed across his face.

"Ah Yin! Is that how you speak to me? Otherwise, how about we have a fight?!"

As he spoke, a blood-red Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand, and ten spirit rings rose from the ground.

Tang San’s emotions cooled instantly; when he looked at Ah Yin again, all warmth was gone.

The Slaughter King clapped his hands, stepping between the two sides. Shaking his head, he said, "No, don’t do that. You’re all my good subordinates."

"Next, our Fallen Blue Silver Emperor has an important mission! Xiao Huo Wu, accompany Ah Yin and help her reclaim the remaining power. Try to avoid confronting that family directly."

The Slaughter King then summoned a voluptuous female evil spirit master—none other than the adult Huo Wu.

Like the controlled Shui Bing’er, Huo Wu had also become a god now!

Huo Wu chuckled and asked, "Leader, why avoid that family? Once I’ve absorbed the flames of the Slaughter City, I won’t be weaker than him!"

The Slaughter King shook his head, his expression finally growing serious. With his hands clasped behind his back, he said:

"That family are the true rulers of the Douluo plane. Only by killing them can we dominate the Douluo plane..."

"And we mustn’t go head-to-head. Take it slow—we have all the time in the world!"

His eyes gleamed with crazed killing intent. "The final victor will be us!"

In the Pope’s Palace

Because of Qian Renxue’s personal appointment, Ye Guyi firmly held the Pope’s seat and would no longer face the awkward situation of being sidelined by the Grand Elder.

Dan Heng was preparing to lead his family to the Slaughter City.

From the Spirit Hall’s intelligence on the evil spirit masters, it was clear that their power had grown terrifying—currently the strongest force on the Douluo Continent.

If not for Dan Heng’s family, even the fierce beasts of the Fontaine Empire might not be able to match them.

After all, the Dragon God’s curse still lingered—at any time, a soul beast attempting godhood might be struck down by heavenly tribulation.

Just as they were about to depart from the main hall, the Sea God, Poseidon, suddenly spoke:"Dan Heng, you’re taking the children too? What’s there to see in that place? And if the evil spirit masters really have an ambush, bringing them will only endanger you all."

He was referring to Tang Ya and the others, as well as Bi Ji and Zi Ji.

Zi Ji immediately bristled. "You looking down on me?!"

Poseidon shrugged and continued, "And what if those evil spirit masters double back to attack the Spirit Hall? What then?"

Dan Heng raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing Poseidon just wanted to make himself look good.

"I’ll stay here and guard Spirit City. I can also protect Xiao Yuhao and the others, and prevent the evil spirit masters from causing trouble. Anyone not at god-level doesn’t need to go to the Slaughter City—they won’t be of much help."

Poseidon glanced at Qian Renxue, his intentions less than pure.

Qian Renxue let out a sigh of relief, smiling. "Thank you, Poseidon. I was just worrying about this..."

Poseidon waved his hands repeatedly, grinning. "It’s fine! We’ve known each other for tens of thousands of years after all..."

"Of course, with you here, I’m at ease. I can go with Mr. Dan Heng to the Slaughter City now," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"Huh???"

Poseidon was dumbfounded.

Qian Renxue continued seriously, "I am the Angel God, the nemesis of evil spirit masters—perhaps I can discover something."

"..." Poseidon’s mouth twitched.

After a moment of silence, he forced a smile. "Very well, Yuhan, just go. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of things."

Qian Renxue nodded, then looked toward Dan Heng’s family.

"Brother-in-law! No matter what, I’m not staying behind! If you think it’s a hassle, you can leave Bi Ji here—she’s not much use anyway."

Zi Ji immediately spoke up.

Dan Heng shook his head. "No, all of you will come, including Zhu Qing."

The evil spirit masters were hiding so well that even he could barely sense them.

He would not give them the chance to pick them off one by one.

Bi Ji let out a breath of relief, giving Zi Ji a resentful glare.

She was thoroughly disappointed in Zi Ji now—too unreliable!

At that moment, a herald’s voice suddenly sounded from outside.

"Divine Lord! A woman claiming to be Tang Yuehua from ten thousand years ago requests an audience..."

Qian Renxue was slightly stunned, then recalled who it was.

"I almost forgot about her..."

She ordered the soul master to bring the guest in.

Moments later, Tang Yuehua entered the hall with the escort.

Her clothes were ragged; once a beauty of peerless grace, she now looked travel-worn and weary—like an unpolished gem covered in dust.

When Tang Yuehua saw those present in the hall, she froze, especially upon seeing Dan Heng. Her expression turned emotional.

"Mr. Dan Heng...!"

"It’s so good that you’re here..."

Her eyes reddened, and she rushed forward.

Zi Ji caught her, curling her lip. "Do you know him that well? Don’t think you can take advantage of my brother-in-law just because you say so!"

Tang Yuehua’s face went pale. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

"Hey, hey, hey! What’s this? Trying to fake an injury?!" Zi Ji shouted, shaking her shoulders.

Bi Ji sighed helplessly. "Zi Ji, her body is severely weakened—don’t jostle her."

She placed a gentle green light into her palm, letting it fall over Tang Yuehua.

Color quickly returned to Tang Yuehua’s face, and she opened her eyes.

Immediately, tears streamed down her cheeks.

Looking at Dan Heng with a pitiful expression, she pleaded, "Mr. Dan Heng, please save the Clear Sky Sect... save my two elder brothers, and my poor nephew..."

Tang Yuehua tried to kneel, but Bi Ji supported her.

"What happened?" Dan Heng didn’t agree right away—he asked in return.

Tang Yuehua then recounted their misfortune.

After hearing it, Poseidon’s face immediately turned furious, divine power erupting in a terrifying wave of pressure.

"Damn it!!!"

"They actually laid in wait at the Sea God Tower, completely disregarding me!"

"If I run into that so-called King of Slaughter, I’ll tear him into a thousand pieces!"

Sea God Poseidon growled angrily.

Everyone looked at him in surprise — this was completely at odds with his usual unreliable image.

Dan Heng shook his head slightly, taking Gu Yuena and the others away toward the City of Slaughter.

"I’ll leave things here to you."

Poseidon said irritably, "What do you mean, ’you’? With me here, that’s more than enough!"

His voice echoed through the great hall.

By then, Dan Heng and his family had already stepped outside.

...

Inside the great hall.

Ye Guyi had gathered all the high-ranking soul masters to give them a few trivial instructions.

Mainly, she just wanted to experience what it felt like to be the Pope for once.

Before this, she had been nothing but a decorative figurehead, without any real taste of authority.

Poseidon and the others watched on, finding it a novelty.

"Hm? Pope, what would you think if the Spirit Hall believed in another god as well? For example, me, the Sea God — I could be your auxiliary seat!"

Poseidon suggested with a grin.

Ye Guyi’s little face stiffened; she didn’t know how to answer.

After all, she now knew that this was a genuine god — and an old friend of the Angel God at that.

Electrolux shook his head slightly. Regardless of the situation, he practiced necromantic magic, and naturally felt a certain aversion toward the Pope’s Hall.

He changed the subject: "I’ll step out for a moment..."

Poseidon immediately interjected: "How could you? Here, only you and I can protect them."

"..." Electrolux was choked into silence, and dropped the idea of leaving.

Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly.

He sensed an evil soul master’s aura suddenly appear somewhere in the city.

Poseidon sensed it as well, and in an instant transformed into a streak of blue light and vanished, his voice still echoing above the hall.

"I’m going to capture the evil soul master! You watch the place!"

"..."

Electrolux’s mouth twitched hard.

Great — so it’s double standards now?!

Tang Yuehua chuckled softly, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes. "Lord Sea God really is interesting..."

...

Meanwhile, in the City of Slaughter — located beneath a volcano — but now nothing more than ruins.

After the Spirit Hall’s official eradication of the City of Slaughter, the underground structures were completely destroyed, though the nearby natural volcano was left untouched.

Dan Heng and the others entered the volcano’s cavern.

The tunnel was quite wide. Below them, magma bubbled like blood, lighting the space and raising the temperature.

Dan Heng and Gu Yuena walked at the front and back, shielding the others in between.

Zi Ji kicked a pebble down, watching it drop into the magma and give off a puff of white smoke.

"You know, my Hell Demon Dragon clan can take lava baths. This magma is on the hotter side — even I can feel the heat. But I could still stay in there. Any of you could?" Zi Ji started a topic out of boredom.

No one answered; they all stayed alert to their surroundings.

The aura of evil soul masters here was still thick.

And the smell of blood still lingered.

It was easy to imagine how fierce and brutal the battle back then must have been.

Qian Renxue sighed. "Back then, I was in the crucial process of awakening Bibi Dong, and didn’t notice anything. Otherwise..."

Dan Heng suddenly stopped. Ahead, the tunnel darkened, and the sound of flapping wings echoed toward them.

Dan Heng narrowed his eyes — it was a swarm of blood bats, with fangs like wolves, reeking of bloodlust, rushing toward them.

"I’ll handle them!"

Zi Ji, right behind Dan Heng and eager to show off, stuck her head forward and spewed a breath of dragon fire.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

The blood bats were instantly charred to pieces and rained down from the air.

Zi Ji laughed proudly. "Well? See how I deal with them!"

Qian Renxue suddenly said, "Something’s wrong! There shouldn’t be any blood bats here — according to Spirit Hall records, they were wiped out..."

Before she could finish, the whole cavern shook.

The stone path beneath their feet split apart into slabs and began to drop!

"!!!"

They were startled — yet they didn’t fall with the stones.

It was as if some invisible platform held them up.

Dan Heng didn’t pay much attention, trusting Gu Yuena to handle it. He reached down and yanked something from the rock — a dark-red Blue Silver Grass.

"Blue Silver Emperor?" Dan Heng was slightly stunned.

"What a vile aura... Don’t tell me it’s god-level again?" Zi Ji muttered in displeasure.

It had only been over ten thousand years, and yet so many god-level beings had appeared!And she herself was still stuck at the mortal peak!

"How interesting... truly impressive. I’m even more curious now — your flesh must be so very delicious. If I devour you, I should be able to advance even further, shouldn’t I?"

A shrill laugh echoed from all directions.

Suddenly, all the light in the cave seemed swallowed away.

Even the magma turned black, emitting only a faint glow.

"Quit pretending to be some ghost!" Zi Ji cursed.

Dan Heng sensed the evil soul master’s aura all around — dense, everywhere, yet somehow nowhere.

This must be a trait of the Blue Silver Emperor.

An evil-corrupted Blue Silver Emperor was even more troublesome.

At the same time, he kept his attention on Gu Yuena and the others — there was no way he would allow them to be harmed.

...

Somewhere in an unknown space.

Ah Yin and Huo Wu faced each other.

"The leader said not to provoke them!" Huo Wu, now just a flickering flame-shadow, wavered as she spoke.

Ah Yin sneered.

"Right now it’s not me going to them — they’ve come to me on their own! If I devour them, even the King will acknowledge me!"
