It seems that the world has forgotten my reputation

The Three Thousand Domains of the Lower Realm are boundless!

On this vast and boundless land, many miraculous places are nurtured.

The Meteorite Sea is one of them!

Legend has it that this sea region was the end of the Ancient Era!

It once buried a civilization's ancient history.

It also nurtured the origin of life, the essence of heaven and earth, and even the secret of immortality.

Some Quasi-Emperors and even Great Emperors liked to come to this area to try their luck.

Therefore, this Meteorite Sea is also known as a treasure hunting ground for the strong.

On the surging Meteorite Sea, irregular giant stones were densely inserted into the sea.

Those massive stones were boundless, half submerged in the seawater, and half exposed above the surface.

Even so, some parts exposed above the sea reached tens of thousands of feet high, soaring into the clouds, looking like pillars supporting the sky!

The surface of this sea was not calm.

Some areas around it nurtured violent thunderous power.

In some places, the Void Realm had clearly collapsed a large section, and rolling hot magma flowed out from within the Void Realm.

Looking from afar, it resembled a colossal fire Dragon, soaring from the Void Realm into the sea, with the great fire raging like a sea of flames.

Such wondrous sights were commonplace on this sea surface.

Clearly, this sea was connected to many different dimensions!

However, most of these dimensions were unstable; some were filled with spatial-temporal turbulence.

Some spaces contained unknown terrifying dangers.

Most areas were shrouded in an unknown black mist!

In this place, you never knew what you would encounter next.

Danger, unknown, mystery!

Yet, on the turbulent, hurricane-ridden, and thunder-rolling sea, there was one area that was exceptionally calm!

It was an island shrouded by a long spear!

A fiery red long spear was horizontally inserted into the island, tens of thousands of feet long!

It emitted a majestic and indescribable Qi, stabilizing the surrounding wind and space.

Around the long spear, the sea was peaceful, and the Void Realm was silent, forming a stark contrast with the rampant storms and chaos outside.

When Nether Emperor stepped into this area, his gaze was immediately drawn to the long spear.

"Dust Emperor's personal Imperial Weapon!"

His heart stirred!

He unfolded his figure and rushed directly towards the island where the long spear was located.

There was another world here.

It was a vibrant island!

On the island, ancient trees stood tall and lush.

In the jungle, purple Qi permeated, spiritual light shimmered, divine radiance covered the ground, ancient exotic species roamed within the forest, and ancient cranes cried above the jungle.

And on the mountain peak within the forest!

There was an ancient pavilion.

Inside the ancient pavilion!

A figure was seated.

This was a young man!

His body was slender, his physique robust, his features square, and he wore a mysterious yellow ancient robe.

He looked unremarkable, like an ordinary person.

However, when Nether Emperor saw this figure, his heart trembled.

Simply because, at first glance, he recognized this person's identity!

He was none other than the Dust Emperor of the Chen Family, renowned for his overwhelming prestige!

Any Great Emperor, to the world, was an immortal legend, an existence akin to a myth.

But Dust Emperor, compared to other Great Emperors, had an added layer of mystery.

He rose from obscurity amidst chaos!

Throughout his path to fame, it was nothing but bloody battles and slaughter.

He fought his way up from among a multitude of Prodigies!

Before becoming an Emperor, his entire life was either spent fighting or on the path of fighting.

He fought countless battles throughout his life, yet he never suffered a single defeat.

He could be called a God of Slaughter among Gods of Slaughter; it would not be an exaggeration to say that he attained Dao through slaughter.

Facing such a God of Slaughter, even though he did not exude an oppressive aura, Nether Emperor's heart involuntarily tightened.

He cautiously approached the ancient pavilion.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Nether Emperor of Fengtian Hall, Nether Emperor, greets Dust Emperor!"

Dust Emperor remained motionless, like a statue that had been silent for ten thousand years.

His lips did not move, but a voice emanated.

"I have no significant connection with Fengtian Hall!"

"Why do you seek this Emperor?"

"Dust Emperor, a major incident has occurred in the Chen Family!"

"The Dust Family Eighteenth Ancestor and the Dust Family Third Ancestor have successively fallen in Xuan Domain!"

Upon hearing this!

His body, which had been like a sculpture, trembled slightly.

His closed eyes suddenly opened!

In those ancient and profound eyes, it was as if a stone had dropped into a lake, causing ripples to spread.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"Who did it?"

A cold voice, like a booming bell, exploded in Nether Emperor's mind.

At this moment, Nether Emperor felt as if Dust Emperor's gaze was like two massive mountains, pressing down on him.

This made his body tremble and his heart tighten.

It seemed even the air was filled with a scorching aura.

For a moment, he felt his scalp tingle incessantly.

Although he knew of Dust Emperor's extraordinary nature, he never expected that a mere gaze from the other party would almost make him unbearable.

He suppressed his throbbing heart and quickly said, "Reporting to Dust Emperor, the Dust Family Third Ancestor died at the hands of Zhong Qing, the Domain Lord of Xuan Domain, and the Dust Family Eighteenth Ancestor died at the hands of Zhong Qing's Disciple."

"This Disciple of his has some connection with you!"

"He is Phoenix Aotian, the Old Ancestor of the Three-Eyed Phoenix-Dog Clan, who dared to challenge you back then!"

Nether Emperor, having witnessed the entire exchange between Phoenix Aotian and Chen Yi, the Dust Family Eighteenth Ancestor, easily understood Phoenix Aotian's origin and the grievances between him and the Chen Family.

"Zhong Qing!"

"Phoenix Aotian!"

Dust Emperor murmured.

He had killed too many enemies in his life, and he had no impression of Phoenix Aotian.

The dead were not worthy of having their names remembered by him.

But now, these two names were clearly imprinted in his mind.

"This Emperor has merely been recuperating here for ten thousand years, hoping to comprehend some Profound Truths. It seems that too much time has passed since I last ventured out, and the world has already forgotten this Emperor's prestige!"

Daring to kill his direct descendants, and his two most valued juniors at that.

In his opinion, no matter their origin or identity, in the near future, they would only be dead men!

As Dust Emperor sighed faintly, his body moved, and he instantly vanished from his original spot.

Along with him, the Imperial Dao Divine Weapon that had accompanied him throughout his life's battles—the God-Slaying Spear—also disappeared.

As the Imperial Dao Divine Weapon was taken by Dust Emperor, the entire small island was instantly submerged by massive waves.

Nether Emperor flew out from the towering waves, looking around, but there was no sign of Dust Emperor anywhere.
