madness

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles above them, a figure emerged from the Void Realm, observing the scene with interest.

However, as she discerned the vast disparity between the two sides, her interest, much like the Dust Emperor's, vanished completely.

She never expected that, in such a situation, Zhong Qing’s first thought wouldn’t be to flee, but to prepare for a head-on confrontation with a Great Emperor.

The Red Dust Empress shook her head, sighing inwardly, “Foolish!”

In this world, there were always too many Prodigies who thought themselves extraordinary, believing they could achieve what others could not.

But before a gap as forbidden as the Emperor Realm, no matter how brilliant or talented one was, challenging Imperial might invariably led to death.

Meanwhile, an immeasurable distance from the Profound Domain, the Nether Emperor was also watching the encounter between Zhong Qing and the Dust Emperor through his Heaven-Gazing Mirror.

This caused a slight tremor of excitement in his heart.

Even he hadn’t anticipated that Zhong Qing and the Dust Emperor would clash so quickly; it was faster than he had expected!

Beside the Dust Emperor was Jiu You, who had rushed back after receiving the summons.

“My Lord, who do you think will win or lose between the two of them?” Jiu You respectfully inquired, a boundless curiosity surfacing in his heart.

The Dust Emperor’s strength was considered extremely formidable even among those in the Emperor Realm.

He was a Great Emperor who had carved his path through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

His power had been tested by time and ages, and his renown was paved with the bloody fresh blood of countless lives.

As for Zhong Qing, the feeling he gave was quite mysterious and sinister!

He could cultivate ten thousand Innate Dao Body Disciples.

He could instantly kill a Quasi-Emperor expert with a single palm strike, almost overturning the entire Profound Domain.

However, the strange thing was that Zhong Qing didn’t exude any Emperor-level Aura, yet he was someone even the Nether Emperor couldn’t fully comprehend.

Therefore, regarding Zhong Qing, besides ‘mysterious,’ he genuinely couldn’t find any other descriptive words.

Even if Zhong Qing wasn’t a Great Emperor, his various methods likely wouldn’t be too inferior.

Facing Jiu You’s question, the Nether Emperor was momentarily unsure who would achieve the ultimate victory.

However, deep down, he still felt that the Dust Emperor had a greater chance of winning.

Even if Zhong Qing was truly a Great Emperor, the Dust Emperor possessed the God-Slaying Spear, an Emperor-level Divine Weapon.

A Great Emperor possessing an Emperor-level Divine Weapon could unleash battle prowess far exceeding the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Of course, while thinking this internally, he said aloud, “No matter who wins or loses, today, someone is bound to lie dead in the Profound Domain.”

“Regardless, this Emperor will be the greatest beneficiary.”

“Time will provide the answer, so why make useless conjectures here? Just observe for now.”

…

Eighty thousand miles above in the Void Realm, the Dust Emperor continued to gaze at Zhong Qing with a disdainful look.

He was waiting for Zhong Qing to make his move.

Only by letting him unleash his strongest methods, letting him realize the insurmountable gap between himself and an Emperor, and then slowly torturing him to death, would it be worth his personal intervention.

He wanted Zhong Qing to realize how foolish it was to provoke a Great Emperor, and how humble and laughable he was before one.

Zhong Qing, naturally, was unaware of his opponent’s thoughts.

He was gathering Qi and condensing power!

Facing the first Great Emperor in his life, he dared not be careless in the slightest and prepared to use his full strength.

The reason he waited for the Dust Emperor here was, firstly, to test his own strength and engage in a world-shaking battle.

Secondly, he disliked trouble and even more so the drama of “killing the father to bring the grandfather.”

Since the situation had escalated to this point, resolving it sooner was best.

As he condensed Qi and gathered power, with hundreds of Physiques gathered within him, a mysterious Aura emanated from his entire being!

His entire body’s blood surged and roared like a galaxy!

The powers of various Physiques converged, emitting a rumbling sound.

It was as if Dao sounds lingered and immortal melodies vibrated.

Vaguely, Zhong Qing seemed to transform into a great sun.

From his body, faint rays of light began to bloom.

These rays were not dazzling, but they gave the impression of piercing through ancient and modern times, carrying a profound and ancient Charm.

Witnessing this scene, the Dust Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“A little interesting!”

Zhong Qing paid no mind.

He continued to gather power.

“Buzz…”

As time passed, Zhong Qing’s Aura had clearly reached a new height.

This Aura disturbed the wind and clouds, shook the heavens and earth, and even the Void Realm seemed unable to withstand this terrifying Aura, beginning to collapse inch by inch.

Two Laws of Yin and Yang, surged out from his body, manifesting the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

The Five Elements Laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, evolved into the sun, moon, and stars.

The four Laws of earth, Law, void, and wind, transformed into mountains and earth veins.

Zhong Qing stood with the Nine Heavens above his head and the Ten Lands beneath his feet, surrounded by stars, sun, and moon, with mountains and earth veins moving with his breath, and the heavens and earth seeming to rumble with his will.

He seemed to have become the Dominator of this world.

Every Law and rule in the heavens and earth moved and operated according to his will.

All Laws follow the heart, all Laws follow the will!

This scene caused the Dust Emperor’s expression to change slightly!

“What kind of method is this?”

Strange!

It was truly strange!

No trace of Emperor Realm Aura erupted from Zhong Qing’s body. Yet, it made him feel a hint of threat.

In fact, even Zhong Qing didn’t know what his method was called.

He was merely instinctively mobilizing all the power he could.

And his Aura, though not displaying Imperial might, seemed to have no upper limit, rising higher and higher, higher and higher.

In the end, the Dust Emperor completely lost his composure.

“Undeniably, you have some methods, but daring to provoke this Emperor seals your defeat.”

“This Emperor has grown impatient; let me send you on your way!”

The Dust Emperor roared!

The God-Slaying Spear shot out like a Dragon.

It charged directly at Zhong Qing, like a True Dragon.

He dared not let Zhong Qing continue gathering power.

Simply because the feeling Zhong Qing gave him was becoming more and more dangerous, more and more dangerous.

If he didn’t act in time to interrupt Zhong Qing’s ultimate move, he might truly capsize in a ditch and fall here.

This was the vigilance his countless years on the path to becoming an Emperor had instilled in him.

A Great Emperor’s killing move was undoubtedly terrifying.

On the God-Slaying Spear, a brilliant and overwhelming killing intent erupted.

It was as if billions of wronged souls were roaring, countless gods and devils howling, and wherever it passed, the Void Realm shattered. The immense killing intent seemed to want to destroy everything, extinguish everything, and plunge all life into Reincarnation.

As the Dust Emperor unleashed this killing move, Zhong Qing’s power gathering finally concluded!

“Boom!”

As he stepped forward, boundless power converged upon him, ultimately transforming into a single punch!

Before the punch arrived, the fist wind, like the sound of creation, exploded in the Void Realm.

That fist seemed to break through the shackles of time and space, instantly pulverizing the God-Slaying Spear with a single blow.

Yet, the momentum of the punch did not dissipate, growing larger and larger in the Dust Emperor’s constricted pupils.

It was as if the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were pressing down upon him, threatening to send him into Reincarnation!

Supreme, unrivaled!

“How… how could this be?”

“This, what kind of power is this?”

The Dust Emperor’s heart trembled violently, his entire being enveloped by a thick Aura of deathly crisis, plunging him into boundless fear.

He never imagined that the being he had once regarded as an ant could erupt with power that even he feared.

Even his proud God-Slaying Spear was instantly pulverized.

“No…”

With a scream of terror, the Dust Emperor’s body, beneath Zhong Qing’s massive fist, had its life force instantly stripped away and its blood instantly dried up.

The Imperial Physique, renowned as indestructible and eternal, was directly shattered into dust like sand in the wind!

With a single punch, a Great Emperor was instantly killed!

No bones remained, and his Divine Soul was utterly annihilated.
