CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 344 – FOUND YOU

High above, countless blood bats came swarming in from all directions, like a vast dark cloud, attacking Dan Heng and the others.

Zi Ji rushed to show off, opening her mouth wide. After transforming into her dragon form, she unleashed a torrent of scalding black dragon breath, sweeping in a 180-degree arc.

"Boom! Boom! Boom...!"

Under the flames, the blood bats were instantly incinerated.

At the same time, on the nearby rock wall, countless dark-red Blue Silver Grass suddenly appeared, coiling like giant pythons, wrapping toward them in great numbers.

They radiated a heavy, foul aura of an evil soul master—utterly repulsive.

Zi Ji’s flames, so effective against the bats, faltered against the Blue Silver Grass.

After all, this was a god-level martial soul—and it even had fire resistance!

Zi Ji’s eyes widened in frustration. "Damn it! If I had already ascended to godhood..."

Just then, an incredibly brilliant sword light shot out, brimming with holy power.

Qian Renxue had made her move. Rays of holy light and blazing solar fire rained upon the Blue Silver Grass.

A vast swath of the grass was instantly reduced to ash—completely purified and destroyed.

Though both sides were god-level, Qian Renxue’s attributes countered the Blue Silver Grass. And though the Fallen Blue Silver Emperor had only recently ascended to godhood and had immature divine power, Qian Renxue had been a god for tens of thousands of years.

"It seems... beneath this magma..."

Spreading her golden wings, Qian Renxue dove downward, her sword light plunging into the molten depths first.

In an instant, the sword light split the magma, sending up towering waves of molten fire.

Zi Ji gasped. "How could anyone be inside magma? What are they doing in there?"

Dan Heng and Gu Yuena both turned to look.

The sword light parted the magma, creating fire walls over ten meters high on both sides.

And in the middle, revealed by the rupture—stood a strange, alluring figure.

It was the demonic Ah Yin.

She raised her head to meet Qian Renxue’s gaze—one a holy goddess, the other evil and corrupted—two peerless beauties locking eyes.

Their auras clashed.

At first, Ah Yin was on the defensive. But then, the divine power hidden in the magma surged toward her, boosting her strength.

Empowered by the environment, her divine power skyrocketed—and she began suppressing Qian Renxue’s holy light, even threatening to consume it!

Qian Renxue’s eyes narrowed, and two more pairs of wings sprouted from her back.

In an instant, she had transformed into her complete form.

"Holy Angel... still trying to run?" Ah Yin sneered coldly.

From the molten fire walls the sword had split, countless dark-red Blue Silver Grass tendrils erupted, carrying magma as they rushed at Qian Renxue.

There was no end to them—they surged forward like a thousand tentacles, converging from all sides.

The process was frighteningly fast.

The Blue Silver Grass not only emerged from the fire waves but also drove them forward, intending to close in from above and swallow Qian Renxue whole!

Ah Yin shrieked, "I’ll devour you! None of you are leaving!"

Qian Renxue unleashed over a dozen beams of holy light, her body radiating infinite brilliance like a sun descending to the mortal realm.

But the light could not pierce the fire waves.

She was startled—her divine power was actually weaker than Ah Yin’s right now?!

"Mr. Dan Heng! I need your aid...!"

Qian Renxue had no intention of forcing the fight. With a powerhouse like Dan Heng nearby, why would she struggle alone?

She turned and slashed upward, aiming to break through the fire waves.

The blade tore a gap—but it was instantly "stitched" closed by more Blue Silver Grass spilling through.

"Little angel, you still want to run? This is my domain! Absorbing this divine power makes me invincible!" Ah Yin laughed triumphantly, suddenly appearing beside Qian Renxue.

By now, the fire waves had completely enclosed them like a dumpling, with Qian Renxue as the filling.

But Qian Renxue remained calm, surrounding herself with countless strands of solar divine flame.

The Blue Silver Grass could not touch her.

"How long can you last?" Ah Yin raised her hand, sending even more tendrils snaking out from her sleeves—

"Bang...!"

Suddenly, the fire waves above burst open—or rather, were blown apart by the wind, crashing into the distant rock walls with a sizzling hiss.

Ah Yin froze. "Impossible?!"

She turned to see Dan Heng flicking his fingers, preparing to do it again.

Her expression grew puzzled. What was this divine technique?

Why hadn’t he even used a spirit ring?

"Bang...!"

Dan Heng flicked his fingers again, sending out a burst of force.

The already-damaged fire waves were blasted wide open this time, and the resulting gale shoved both Ah Yin and Qian Renxue several meters to the side.

Qian Renxue seized the chance to escape, flying back to Dan Heng’s side.

Ah Yin was left gaping—Dan Heng hadn’t used any god technique at all; he had simply... flicked his fingers?

How was that even possible? Even the legendary God Kings might not be able to do such a thing!

Before she could react, a giant hand emerged from the magma below, seizing her instantly.

"You fool! We can’t match him! Other than the Pope, no one can! Run!" Fire Dance shouted urgently.

She still remembered the past and could guess that Dan Heng was an unparalleled powerhouse.

She dragged Ah Yin into the magma, trying to hide their presence and flee.

"Beloved, can you lock onto their auras?" Gu Yuena asked softly with a smile.

She had already pinpointed their location—they weren’t escaping.

Under the Silver Dragon King’s gaze, once you appeared, you stayed.

Dan Heng nodded. "Found them."

He raised a finger and pointed toward a spot in the magma.

In the next instant, a streak of azure energy shot forth.

"Boom...!!!"

When it struck the magma’s surface, the energy became a massive azure dragon, roaring to the heavens!

The shockwave blasted a deep crater into the magma, vaporizing the surrounding molten rock, revealing the very bottom.

At the center of the impact stood two figures—slammed directly by the force.

"Aaaah...!!!"

Both women screamed in agony.

Their bodies were crushed almost flat, like paper.

Their auras collapsed—only a sliver of life remained.

This wasn’t because their vitality was strong; Dan Heng had simply controlled his power with surgical precision, leaving them barely alive.

Then, a flash of silver light—and the two vanished.

It was Gu Yuena’s spatial divine power.

Her mastery over elemental power, especially space, rivaled that of the God of Space and the Emerald Dragon King.

Of course, those two no longer existed—making Gu Yuena the undisputed queen of space.

Even Dan Heng couldn’t match her finesse in this field.

The silver light shimmered before the group—and the two women reappeared, suspended in midair, completely immobilized.

They couldn’t even speak, only glare at Dan Heng and the others with bloodshot eyes.

In Ah Yin’s gaze, all her madness was focused on Dan Heng—still unable to comprehend his overwhelming might.

"I’ll purify them!" Qian Renxue placed her hands forward, releasing holy light upon their foreheads.

The already-weak women screamed again.

Bi Ji added the green light of life, keeping them alive.

Soon, black mist began to seep from all seven of their orifices.

Ah Yin was the first to be cleansed, and Bi Ji increased the life light’s power, quickly restoring her vitality.

Ah Yin’s expression twisted into terror. "I... what have I done?!"

"And Tang Hao, Tang Xiao... what’s happened to them?" she murmured.

Zi Ji strode up and yanked her down, snapping, "Cut the act! We just saved you, and I don’t care what you did—start talking about the Holy Spirit Cult! Now!"

"Zi Ji, be gentle..." Bi Ji said helplessly.

"Gentle? Why should I? I don’t owe her a thing! Not killing her is already charity!" Zi Ji scoffed.

"..." Bi Ji was left speechless and could only sigh.

A Yin bowed deeply to Zi Ji and said,

"I’m sorry for causing you trouble... My name is A Yin, the Blue Silver Empress of a hundred thousand years."

Although A Yin had a gentle temperament, she wasn’t foolish. She immediately began recounting everything she knew.

In truth, there wasn’t much to tell.

She hadn’t had much contact with the Holy Spirit Sect Master—only that she had received his evil divine power, which allowed her to rapidly recover and reach the God level.

And the very first thing she did after leaving seclusion was come here—only to be captured...

"I’m sorry," A Yin said apologetically, "but this is all I know. However, this young lady should have been with the Sect Master of the Holy Spirit Sect for a long time—she might know more..."

A Yin looked up at Huo Wu, who was still being purified by Qian Renxue in mid-air.

Biji was beside her, continuously replenishing her life force.

Otherwise, with Qian Renxue’s method of purification, Huo Wu would have already been sent to the afterlife.

After about half an hour, the evil divine power within Huo Wu was finally gone.

She opened her eyes, and upon seeing Dan Heng and the others, her face lit up with joy.

"Mr. Dan Heng! Teacher Gu! This is wonderful! I finally get to see you again..."

Dan Heng gave a slight nod. She was, after all, something of an acquaintance to him—practically half a disciple of Gu Yue Na.

And especially good at clinging to people—particularly Gu Yue Na.

When she landed, she let out a sigh, gritting her teeth in anger.

"That bastard Holy Spirit Sect Master! I’m so furious!"

"What happened?" Gu Yue Na asked.

"He pretended to be my godmother and tricked me out of the Sea God Tower. Then I was bewitched, and aside from cultivating, I was helping him with... oh no! Mr. Dan Heng—the Holy Spirit Sect Master is about to start his next move: a sacrificial ascension to godhood!"

Huo Wu’s expression suddenly changed drastically. She grabbed Dan Heng’s arm in panic.

"What?" Dan Heng’s brow furrowed slightly.

Huo Wu’s voice rose in alarm.

"He... he’s going to sacrifice the entire population of a city to gain some sort of power—to create more God-level beings! I heard it came from one of his Vice Sect Masters... and the first target is Spirit Hall City!"

"What?!" Qian Renxue’s face paled in shock.

Spirit Hall City—that was her base of operations!And the method of sacrifice... she didn’t even have to guess—it had to be something Bibi Dong had given him.

That meant... Bibi Dong had actually become a Vice Sect Master?!

"Mr. Dan Heng, please..." Qian Renxue’s voice was urgent. Even if she returned to Spirit Hall City now, there was no guarantee she’d make it in time.

And besides—she wasn’t a match for the Holy Spirit Sect Master!

Gu Yue Na nodded.

"Husband, you should go ahead. I’ll handle things here—nothing will go wrong."

Dan Heng hesitated briefly, then nodded.

"Very well."

With that, he turned into a streak of green light and vanished.

Qian Renxue made to follow.

"Don’t go," Gu Yue Na said. "If we split up, the Holy Spirit Sect might take us down one by one."

"...Yes, Madam," Qian Renxue sighed dejectedly.

Gu Yue Na opened her palm, and a rainbow-colored orb of light rose up.

The orb quickly expanded, voraciously devouring the evil divine power in the area.

As the God King who controlled the elements, converting divine power here was child’s play for Gu Yue Na.

Meanwhile, inside the Pope’s Hall, every high-ranking Spirit Master summoned by Ye Guyi lay dead on the floor, their corpses pooled in blood.

At the center of the corpses stood Tang Yuehua, surrounded by a crimson ring of light. All the blood on the ground was flowing into the ring.

Her aura had unmistakably reached the God level!Her crimson eyes were fixed on the throne, where Electrolux stood, guarding several others. On the layered steps below them were countless undead creatures.

From the four spatial gates atop the high platform, an endless stream of undead continued to pour forth.

Tang Yuehua raised her brows slightly in surprise.

"Your name is... Electrolux, isn’t it? You’re a born Evil Spirit Master—you should join the Holy Spirit Sect. If you’re willing, I’ll grant you the position of Vice Sect Master. How about it?"

Her voice was entirely that of a man’s raspy tone.

On the high platform, Electrolux didn’t even bother responding to her invitation. Although he did not yet possess a God Seat, he was very much a demigod in truth.

He was no weaker than Tang Yuehua, who was merely a half-baked God-level being possessed by another.

But because of the difference in their specializations, he couldn’t protect all the Spirit Hall Spirit Masters, and so could only watch as Tang Yuehua slaughtered most of them.

"Your hands are drenched in sin, and you’ve dared to harm Mr. Dan Heng—you are already doomed..."

Electrolux spoke calmly.

Having witnessed Dan Heng’s might, he now believed that perhaps only the legendary Creator God could match him.

As for the other gods—they were just courting death.

"Dan Heng... heh. I misjudged him before. I thought he was just an ordinary man and that the powerful one was his wife. But now I see—he’s the true god who rules over Douluo!"

"But in the end, victory will be mine. Electrolux, after all, he’s just one man—bound by morality. See? With just a small trick, I’ve lured him away. Now I can easily slaughter Spirit Hall City."

"And he doesn’t even know where I am—or that I’ll be destroying another city at the same time..."

Tang Yuehua smiled triumphantly.

At that moment, a chill wind rose behind her.

A hand seized her by the neck, lifting her off the ground.

The crimson ring of light beside her shattered instantly.

"Found you..."
