Feeling the Yin Qi Spiritual Power radiating from King Nanlin rapidly approach, Chen Hao immediately said to Ye Yuqiao, "Yuqiao, King Nanlin is coming!"

Ye Yuqiao let out a cold "Hmm", her tone somewhat trembling. Situated within the Nether Acupoint, she had already shed all her clothing and was busily shaking off the dust stuck between her skin and garments. Then, the dust under her feet transformed into various broken twigs, dead leaves, and wood shavings.

"Yuqiao, stay inside for now. Wait until I freeze him with the Yin Spirit Blood Solidifying Spell before you come out," said Chen Hao.

"Alright, be careful!"

Not much later, amidst the slight unease in Chen Hao's heart as he waited, King Nanlin finally made his presence known and landed before him.

"Boy, I have finally found you!" King Nanlin sneered.

Chen Hao responded with a nonchalant smile, then shaking his body, adopted a disdainful expression and said, "What do you mean you found me? It was I who released Spiritual Power to deliberately lead you here."

King Nanlin's face contorted with scorn as he jeered, "Am I hearing this right? You deliberately led me here? Do you have a death wish or something?"

"Listen carefully, I led you here because I want you dead, not myself. I'm going to kill you!"

"Kill me?" King Nanlin's tone grew thicker with mockery, "Just a few short days since we last met, what progress could you have possibly made?"

Chen Hao took a long breath and said with pride, "I'll tell you a secret, I've found a way out of here. Do you want to know?"

Suddenly, King Nanlin's eyes narrowed to a slit, a touch of worry in his gaze. In the days since he fell into the Dust Realm, apart from searching for Chen Hao's whereabouts, he had also been seeking a way out of the Dust Realm.

However, after searching nearly half of the Dust Realm, he had made no discoveries.

"Never mind!" said King Nanlin, "As long as I obtain the Nether King's Heart, there's no need to look for any exit. I'll simply destroy this false realm!"

Chen Hao was taken aback, wondering if King Nanlin could really destroy the entire Dust Realm once he has the Nether King's Heart?

"He can." The voice of Ye Yuqiao suddenly rang out. "If he obtains the Nether King's Heart, with the Spiritual Power within him, he will be able to completely control the Nether King's Heart and draw the Nether King's Power from it. With the Nether King's Power, destroying the entire Dust Realm would not be difficult."

"So, when you were the Nether King, you could have destroyed the Dust Realm with your power alone!" Chen Hao said in disbelief.

"Yes! This is also the main reason why the people of the Dust Tribe have always wanted to return to the Netherworld. After all, the Dust Realm is not a stable space!"

"Then why haven't they made the journey back to the Netherworld in the tens of thousands of years since then?"

"The Netherworld no longer has a place for the Dust Tribe; it's not as if they can simply go back whenever they want. It's very likely they would pay the price of their extinction."

At that moment, Chen Hao suddenly realized that a powerful Spiritual Power was spreading through the air around them.

King Nanlin was about to make his move!

Chen Hao looked toward King Nanlin, just as a surge of surging crimson Spiritual Power reached him.

He leaped into the air, avoiding the mass of Spiritual Power.

King Nanlin turned into a shadow and arrived before him in a flash, and another burst of Spiritual Power exploded from him, slamming into Chen Hao and then turning into a blaze of crimson fire.

Chen Hao had just thought about dodging to the side when his right arm was tightly grasped by King Nanlin's hand, followed by the crimson fire spreading across his entire body.

"Ah!" The searing pain of the flames made Chen Hao scream in agony.

At the same time, he felt the power that Ye Yuqiao had suppressed with the Nether King's Power the night before beginning to course chaotically through his blood, restless and ready to break free.

Suddenly, a small hole burst open in the palm of King Nanlin's right hand, and crimson blood flowed out, forming a runic symbol.

He did this to break the seal Ye Yuqiao had placed on his left eye.

Just as King Nanlin was about to plunge his right hand into Chen Hao's left eye to seize the Nether King's Heart, Chen Hao suddenly let out a fierce roar!

He burst forth with the power of the Dust King Ring and the Sword of Dust after the searing heat had eroded his flesh!

In an instant, his body crumbled into dust and fell to the ground, piling up, while the Nether King's Heart inside his left eye fell among the dust, emanating a dark purple glow.

Seeing this, King Nanlin was momentarily stunned, then murmured in amazement, "What's going on? How did this kid become like the people of this Dust Realm!"

During his few days in the Dust Realm, King Nanlin had killed many people, and each of them had turned to dust just like Chen Hao after they died.

King Nanlin bent down, wanting to pick up the Nether King's Heart from the dust.

All of a sudden, the pile of dust flowed backward several meters, then rose and gathered, ultimately transforming back into Chen Hao.

"What exactly is going on with you, kid?" King Nanlin asked, narrowing his eyes sharply.

Chen Hao smiled without speaking. He felt an ancient spiritual power flowing through his blood towards the Nether King Orchid Heart in his left eye.

"Chen Hao, you've finally absorbed the powers of the Dust King Ring and the Sword of Dust!" Ye Yuqiao exclaimed joyfully.

At that moment, King Nanlin launched a surprise attack on Chen Hao, a phantom approached in front of Chen Hao and tightly grasped his neck.

Chen Hao closed his eyes, trying to harness the power of the dust within him.

Very quickly, he opened his eyes, and the part of his body below his chin turned to dust and fell to the ground. Immediately after, his head flew backward, distancing itself from King Nanlin.

Once his head had come to a stop, the dust that his body had turned into also flowed beneath his head, then reformed back to his original shape.

"It's truly amazing!" Chen Hao couldn't help but exclaim in awe, "So this is how the power of dust is supposed to be used."

He began to recall the details of the battle with King Mieji in his mind, wanting to mimic King Mieji's use of dust power.

Seeing that Chen Hao had acquired yet another miraculous power in just a few days, King Nanlin gritted his teeth in rage.

"Kid, stop hiding and come out for a final showdown!" King Nanlin said.

"Alright!" Chen Hao agreed, suddenly brimming with confidence.

Because he sensed that, after absorbing the power of dust, the Nether King Orchid Heart was trembling violently, signaling to him that it was ready to burst forth.

In a flash, numerous holes appeared on King Nanlin's body, blood surged from these holes, turning into crimson blood roots, and swept towards Chen Hao.

Chen Hao lifted his right hand, Nannan speaking, "Sword of Dust, come forth and lend me your strength!"

A beam of light containing countless dust particles appeared above Chen Hao's right hand.

Grasping that light, Chen Hao took a step forward and went to meet the crimson roots charging towards him.

The light faded, turning into the Sword of Dust, and Chen Hao swung the sword, severing the roots before him.

The moment they were cut, the roots turned into a mass of crimson flames that blocked Chen Hao's path.

King Nanlin thought Chen Hao would dodge the flames by diving into a Nether Acupoint, or turn to dust, however...
