Rise of a Fallen God 168 Rise of a Peerless Monster

The SoulBearer was thanked by a few of them for not dodging and letting the elder take more damage from the fall, he smiled and sent them off as he did not speak their language and his translator was someone he feared.

This simple maid was the one who told him to catch the old man, otherwise he would not have reacted as fast as he did to the incoming missile sent at him.

"You knew he was not your match yet you still held nothing back, so shameless Dragon Emperor."

Things like this were shouted out at the Dragon Emperor on the stage from those surrounding the Blessed One.

"Is it not your fault for sending this old man up to fight me, you should have just waited for that youth who was next in line to inherit the title of Blessed One. Did you not say he would send me into the afterlife for taking over your realm, maybe not now but sometime in the future?

Where is he now? Off training somewhere gaining untold amounts of power? Am I supposed to wait for him to come and rescue you, his people and halt everything that I am doing?

This is why the retired Blessed One stepped forward so you fools who so blindly believe in that youth can say nothing but be absorbed into my Empire.

So what if he is going to come for my head one day, today! This day I am your new ruler, until that day comes I welcome you into the fold."

Looking at Natasha who was down below were I tossed the old man I spot my next Challenger.

Without waiting for me to signal him up he rips off his shirt and hops onto the stage, this shocked a few of the people surrounding him and the Blessed Elder.

"I am the SoulBearer from the Soul Realm, that was recently taken over by the Dragon Empire. As I was told, I am here to reclaim my Realm and free my people from your war against the other Realms.

So long as I best you the Emperor of the Dragon Empire I was told that I would replace you and free my people, but I wish to know what happens to us Challengers who lose to you like that old man?"

Walking forward Tia who is wearing a light blue dress that has a Dragon Token on the side of her hip began to speak.

This Token caught the eye of everyone present.

They have been appearing around those of the Royal Family lately and even a few key people in powerful positions possessed one.

Tia then started to speak. "To those who lose in their Challenge, their wounds will be treated by us the Dragon Empire before they are left to do whatever they please, be it leaving and returning to their original Realms or joining the army after their defeat.

We leave the choice of what to do up to them, as for those who try to cause trouble or rebel after their defeat, they are sent into the Void that lies between the many Realms.

There they will be imprisoned and watched by the Shadow Clan."

That is what happens to the loser of the Challenge, if that Challenger is the Emperor I am sure the Empress will interfere and beat the Challenger half to death before tossing him away."

The last words she said sent a few chills down the spine of the many Challengers today.

They had all waited for the Emperor to show up only for him to be dragged here by the woman sitting on the throne right now, that alone caused them to realize this Emperor has a powerful Empress but many of them have heard that every female in the Palace is his woman.

They could not understand how they all obediently let the female on the throne act as she is the one true Empress.

Those Challengers who were confident in their power wanted to rule over this harem of beauties, and from the example they saw from the first Challenger, they knew to never insult the youth that is the Dragon Emperor on the stage or they will most likely end up facing the wrath of the Empress.

While the two on the stage were about to begin fighting the Blessed One stood up and started to speak.

"Wait!!

Dragon Emperor, as I have lost I hope that you will treat my people from the Saint Realm like those of the HighRise Realm, I have already been to that place and it is ruled by Grady who surrendered and joined your war against the many Realms.

I hope that my people can live a peaceful life, other than that you have our complete surrender."

Many of the youths and Leaders from the Saint Realm wanted to voice their opinions but the Elder gave them a cold look, and the female healer stepped forward and silenced them.

"Who will fight in my Grandfathers Stead!? None of you cowards have the will to fight you only want to hold onto your power, so shut up and don't cause our situation to worsen. Our Blessed One is gone he left before we were invaded to gain more power but once he returns then what.

He might be gone for a thousand years maybe even a million but we will never know until he returns, it is too late to sit and wait for his return we have to move on."

The girl tried her best to calm her people from the Saint Realm but I only smiled as I spoke.

"Your Blessed One is headed here as we speak, He defeated the guard I left in the Saint Realm and is headed here with a small army of the most powerful fighters in your Realm along with his captives.

Once he is here I will fight him like all the other Challengers and he will release my wife."

Hearing my words the youth in front of me and those from the Saint Realm could not understand my calm attitude towards finding out my wife was captured.

What they did not know was the one sent to watch over the Saint Realm was the researcher Rose who merged with Lillie. At this moment she wanted to understand the Saint energy that existed in this Realm and see if she could use it in her experimental medicine.

Only to be captured (Surrender) once the Blessed One returned after the learned about a Power going from Realm to Realm taking them over, he was worried about his own Realm so he returned after finishing his Training.

On the Stage the youth looked over and the many tattoos on his body began to light up.

"Fight me Dragon Emperor!!! Remember my name it is Prexma."

As Prexma rushed forward and sent a punch toward the Dragon Emperor, the Emperor did not dodge his attack and instead took it head on. Letting the first of this youth slam against his brown skin, on impact the stage below the two fractured and so did the area around the Stage.

Everyone watched blood trickle out of the Dragon Emperors mouths as he smiled and sent his own punch at the youth opposite of him, Prexma tired to dodge it but being so close he was unable and like the Elder before him was sent out of the ring.

In his case no one was strong enough to catch him so he expected to hit the ground hard and most likely faint on the spot. When he was about to hit the ground many of his followers rushed forward to catch him even if they were to be injured from the impact.

The fist the Dragon Emperor threw at their Leader was covered in black scales that was covered in flames and shattered the half of the stage Prexma was standing on.

Lingering flames still burn on the rubble that now lay at their feet.

They understood at this moment that their Realm was not going to gain freedom on this day.

Before they could catch their Leader who already fainted from the punch, the maid behind them moved forward and did what they could not, she not only caught their Leader but neutralized the shockwave left over from the attack.

As she caught Prexma she looked over and handed him to his people.

"Follow me and I shall show you to your quarters within the Palace, once your Master has regained consciousness he can seek me out and I will lead him over to see my Husband."

Many of the other powers sitting down waiting for their Challenge to be next were shocked at this display of power from the Emperor. They had watched him struggle against his first two Challengers but after fighting that old man he displayed power that they never seen from him.

They understood that only against the Elder did the Emperor hold back and against the others he truly did struggle but as he fought he grew stronger.

A few who knew they were stronger than the young Emperor rushed forward knowing that they had to act now or he would grow to be to powerful. They did not understand how he could grow so much during his fights and they did not care, they only knew they had to act fast.

"No need to rush, you noticed to late I have already adapted and even if you were to challenge me now you will all face defeat at my hands. If you still want to try please step up on the stage but you should keep it in mind that every one of you that fights me only makes me stronger."

Hearing this the group of me step back as they notice quite a few of the Empresses and guards stepped forward as they did, the only one that did not move was the Empress on the throne and the young General at her side.

Once the group of Challengers calmed down they returned to their seats and said they will not fight on this day but at a later date. They only wished to watch the last fight against the incoming youth who is titled Blessed One.

They could feel the power of the newcomer and it was many times their own, and they knew the Dragon Emperor with his ability to see into the future must have set up these Challenges to boost his power while he waited for the Blessed One to arrive.

Soon everyone felt the pressure from this newcomer, as he appeared in the sky he had by his side a massive ship that was surrounded by a force field of his energy.

"Release my people and I shall give you back your own!! Dragon Emperor!" Saying these words he pushed the ship to the side of him down towards the large clearing the Palace had for its ships.

The others who were with the Elder rose to the air and rushed to greet their Blessed One, once they made it to him they began to flatter and suck up to the youth that kept looking down below.

He then called out again.

"Elder Li are you not there? I have come to rescue you and the Princess."

Elder Li looked at his granddaughter and smiled before standing up with the help of her and one of the Palace maids who aided in his treatment.

"I am alright, I have already fought against the Dragon Emperor and lost.

I wanted to test his ability and I have already decided to stay with the Dragon Empire whether you win or lose in your fight against him. As for my Granddaughter she can make her own choice, you want her hand in marriage and she hates you for forcing me into retirement.

I will not stand in the way of you youths, I will roam the Realms alongside the Dragon Empire to see the world and many different Realms that exist rather than sitting in my manner."

Up above the youth could be seen looking down at the Princess with a kind smile.

"Fine!"
