Chapter 235: The Battle Between The Titans, The Fallen Frost Titan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Dozens of pillars towered around the arena with people seated on top of them.

On one of the pillars sat a middle-aged Titan with a stern and imposing countenance, clad in golden armor and holding a golden scepter.

In his eyes were vague signs of thunderbolts flashing brightly. Muscles bulged all over his body like rocks, and every blood vessel of his was as thick as a rope.

Powerful!

Awe-inspiring!

Domineering!

He was the master of the Titan Empire himself, the Titan Plateaus ruler, and one of the four great emperors of Heaven’s Vault Continent—the Thunder Titan Emperor.

Seated to the left of the Thunder Titan Emperor was a beautiful and sensual female Thunder Titan. Her chest muscles were bigger than even taxis, and her long legs even longer than poplar trees—she was the Titan Empress herself.

To the Thunder Titan Emperor’s right was a skinny, craggy elderly Titan with a head full of white hair. He supported himself with a walking stick, shaking and trembling as he did so. Added to this how his teeth were all gone, he was the picture of someone who already had one foot in the grave.

“High Priest, how do you find that young man?” The smiling Thunder Titan Emperor asked as he gestured to Barham the Blue Frost King in the arena.

“That little fellow’s pretty good!”

A look of approval appeared on the countenance of the divine temple’s high priest. With a somewhat hoarse voice, he said, “To reach the pinnacle of Saint Domain at the age of 21, he’s more outstanding than all the previous Children of God. He definitely takes the top spot in the history of Heaven’s Vault Continent!”

“Top spot in history...”

The Thunder Titan Emperor’s countenance became rather awkward. Then, he said, “Had that guy not existed, Barham would certainly have been able to live up to the title of the top in the continent’s history.”

“That guy?”

The divine temple’s high priest was rather puzzled. He asked, “Your Majesty, are there little fellows who are even more outstanding than Barham in the other three empires?”

“High Priest, you’re in the divine temple all year round and rarely pay much attention to matters of the secular world, so you’re not aware that a monster has recently emerged from the Dragon God Empire in the east.”

In a faraway tone, the Thunder Titan Emperor said, “At the age of 16, he has stepped into the half-deity stage, killed the Dragon God Empire’s emperor, wiped out the half-deities on Dragon Island, and seized Dragon God Empire for himself. He can be said to be a peerless monster!”

“To think such a person exists!”

A look of astonishment came over the greatly shocked high priest’s countenance. “How can typical geniuses be that big of a monster? Might a freak like that be the reincarnation of an evil deity?”

“This person’s actions are cruel and ruthless. He shows no respect for the law, and his perverse ways are ten thousand times more wicked and evil than the Devils and Demons in the abyss of Hell!”

The Thunder Titan Emperor snorted furiously. “Apart from being an evil deity reincarnate, there are no other possibilities!”

“An evil deity reincarnate...”

The old high priest’s brows drew together tightly. “Should that really be the case, then the continent will probably fall into discord again soon!”

The Thunder Titan Emperor quickly asked, “Hence, I’d like to consult the high priest on something. Has the great Titan Spiritual God issued any holy decree to provide us with a directive?”

To be honest, Meng Lei’s deeds in the Dragon God Empire had indeed frightened the Thunder Titan Emperor.

What else was beyond Meng Lei when he could kill even the Dragon Emperor and slaughter even the Dragon Island half-deities?

Should he make his way into the Titan Empire, who would be able to stop him?

As the ruler of the Titan Empire, the Thunder Titan Emperor had to consider the possibility.

“The Titan Spiritual God hasn’t issued any holy decrees recently. Your Majesty needn’t worry excessively, however. The Dragon God Empire is the Dragon God Empire,” A shrewd glint flashed in the old high priest’s eyes as he said, “While the Titan Empire is the Titan Empire. If that monster dares to step into the Titan Empire, I’ll definitely deal him such a crushing defeat that he won’t even be going back!”

“With the high priest’s promise, I can rest assured!”

The Thunder Titan Emperor breathed a small sigh of relief. Like the Dragon God Empire, the Titan Empire’s half-deity powerhouses were all living in seclusion within the Divine Titan Temple.

Frankly speaking, however, even the Thunder Titan Emperor wasn’t very certain just how many half-deities there were in concrete or how strong they were.

During the last 20,000 years, the great Titan Spiritual God had led away Children of God and geniuses so wantonly that it had reached an insane level. In fact, he didn’t even spare half-deities.

Therefore, even the Thunder Titan Emperor had no real idea just how many half-deities there were exactly left protecting the empire in the Divine Titan Temple. Thus, he really was afraid that Meng Lei would invade the empire.

But now that he had the high priest’s promise, the Thunder Titan Emperor’s worries were significantly assuaged.

The host’s voice rang out at this point. “Next, we’ll invite the very last challenger up onto the arena!”

Whoosh!

A bolt of lightning landed on the arena, revealing a figure—it was actually a strong and muscular, 300-feet-tall Titan with electric currents circling around him.

“Prince Poserei!”

“Prince Poserei!”

“Prince Poserei!”

The audience erupted into thunderous cheers as they shouted the new arrival’s name—all of them were Prince Poserei’s supporters.

“Barham!”

Poserei gazed at the Frost Titan coldly. “I’ll give you half an hour’s time to rest. We’ll battle when you’ve regained your stamina and returned to your best condition!”

“It’s not necessary!”

Barham gave him a slight smile and said, “Go ahead, Prince Poserei!”

“You asked for it!”

Poserei brazenly launched into the offensive.

Boom!

Two enormous beings instantly clashed against each other.

There were no fancy moves, no splendor-filled magic. All there was was just a simple and direct clash of physical strength!

Wild and raging!

Tough and unyielding!

Crude and violent!

Every punch connected with flesh!

They fought in a simple and rough manner!

A smiling Meng Lei asked, “Which between the two do you think will win, Bubbles?”

“Based on the hardiness of their bodies, the little guy from the Thunder Titans is significantly stronger. If all goes well, he’ll win!”

Bubbles gave his evaluation of the situation.

“What do the rest of you think?”

Meng Lei then turned to Klaus and the other two.

“My thoughts are more or less the same as Bubbles’.”

“The Thunder Titan slightly edges out his opponent.”

Both Klaus and Nadja agreed with Bubbles’ views.

“What do you think, Seisia?”

Meng Lei then turned to Seisia.

“I won’t refute Bubbles’ evaluation, Master, but I can’t help but feel like something’s not quite right with that Frost Titan.”

The Thunderbolt Queen’s brows drew together slightly. “He’s clearly a pure-blooded Frost Thunder Titan, but I can’t help but feel like... I can’t put my finger on it. In any case, it feels rather odd!”

“Have you sensed it too?”

Meng Lei asked with slight approval.

“Something feels rather odd?”

Somewhat astonished, Bubbles then stared straight at the Frost Titan. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in a low voice, “That’s the Demon Realm’s aura! That little fellow is actually also giving off the Demon Realm’s aura?”

“The Demon Realm’s aura?”

Klaus and Nadja were greatly astonished!

“To put it more accurately, it’s the aura of the Fallen Demons, though extremely weak.”

An amused Meng Lei turned to Bubbles. “If I’m not wrong, that guy is probably just like you... And has also fallen from grace.”

“Hehe! Little did I think that there’d be another pure-blooded Titan falling from grace after I did. This truly pleases me!” A gloating Bubbles said, “It’ll be quite the show if that kid is selected as the Child of God!”

“Not necessarily.”

Meng Lei gave him a calm smile.

“Not necessarily?”

The fierce battle in the arena was still ongoing. As time went by, Poserei, who had a stronger body, gradually took the upper hand and began to suppress Barham.

On top of that, as the battle went on, his dominance over his opponent became more and more obvious. At the rate it was going, victory would definitely go to the Titan Prince, Poserei.

“Your Majesty, our son is about to win!”

A smile came over the Titan Queen’s visage.

“That fellow hasn’t brought embarrassment to the imperial family after all!”

A look of gratification also adorned the Thunder Titan Emperor’s visage. As long as he won the battle, his son Poserei would become the new Child of God.

Not only would it bring honor to him as a father, but his son would also receive the Titan Spiritual God’s blessings and attain half-deification within 100 years.

What a great honor that would be!

And even more so, what a symbol of power that would be!

“As expected, His Royal Highness is no ordinary person!”

Just as everyone was sure that Prince Poserei was about to win, Barham, who was initially being suppressed by Poserei, suddenly erupted.

A complete change from his previous disadvantageous position, he exhibited incredibly wild and raging strength, instantly seriously wounding Poserei and reversing the flow of the battle.

“What?”

“How can this be?!”

“What exactly is going on?”

The spectators were all rather stunned!

“Your Majesty, this...”

The Titan Queen and the Thunder Titan Emperor looked at each other, both somewhat incredulous.

Only the aged, old high priest’s pupils suddenly contracted, a sharp glint flashing across the depths of his eyes.

Boom!

Barham took on an incredibly dominant stance, dishing out a few consecutive hard punches that directly blasted the stunned Poserei out of the arena to achieve victory.

“This...”

The host was caught rather off guard. It was only when Barham came over that he finally regained his senses. “B-Barham wins!”

“You... have lost!”

Barham cast a glance at Poserei. Then, he walked right up to the pillar, bowed, and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty, the Queen, and the High Priest!”

The Thunder Titan Emperor managed to barely form a hint of a smile as he said, “Barham, who hails from the Frost Kingdom, congratulations on winning the champion title in this round of the Showdown Before The Gods!”

“You flatter me, Your Majesty!”

Barham bowed slightly.

The Thunder Titan Emperor turned to the divine temple’s high priest and said with a sigh, “High Priest, you may now announce the results of the Child of God selection.”

“Hold your horses, Your Majesty!”

The high priest got onto his feet, quivering as he did so. Then, he overlooked Barham, who was in the arena, from the top, and an incredibly sharp and keen look suddenly erupted in his aged, murky eyes.

“Barham!”

“High Priest!”

Barham hurriedly bowed.

With a sharp look in his eyes, the old high priest asked sternly, “Answer me, as a Frost Titan, why is there the aura of the Devils on you?”

Whoaaa!

The moment the words left his mouth, a furor went through the entire venue.

The Thunder Titan Emperor was so shocked that he rose to his feet at once. He took a look at the high priest before turning back to Barham, wondering if he had misheard.

“H-High Priest, what do you mean by that? I don’t understand what you’re saying!”

A huge shudder went through Barham, though he remained expressionless, presenting a front free of any turmoil.

“This old man’s eyes may have deteriorated from old age, but they haven’t gone so blind that they can no longer see!”

The old high priest’s words were like booming thunderclaps as he asked, “Have you turned to the Devils and become completely fallen?”

“Turned to the Devils?”

Having understood what he meant now, everyone turned to Barham.

“Has Barham actually fallen? How can that be? Is this a mistake?”

“I’m innocent, High Priest!” Barham quickly said, “May the High Priest look into the matter!”

“Hmph! How dare you resort to fallacious arguments!”

The old high priest snorted coldly. Then, he suddenly raised his aged palm and smacked it down.

The palm strike contained incredible might that was as strong as a half-deity’s strength. Should it strike him, wouldn’t the pinnacle-level Saint Domain Barham be smashed into smithereens?

“Damn it!”

Suddenly, an incredibly rich and dense black aura erupted from Barham, whose eyes were widened to the point of splitting. The aura around him actually spiked all the way to a limits-level Saint Domain, and he met the strike with a punch of his own.

Snap!

As palm and punch connected, causing a thunderous explosion to erupt. Barham was thrown out with a loud cry while the huge downward palm strike in the air was also instantly reduced to dust!

“W-what an evil aura!”

Blood stained the corners of Barham’s lips, and his breathing was weak and listless. Although the current Barham was in a tragic state, an unholy black aura, much like billowing black smoke, was all around him.

“He’s fallen!”

“Barham has actually really fallen!”

Everyone’s countenances changed drastically, and they quickly retreated backward!

“What else do you have to say, Barham?”

The old high priest slammed his walking stick against the pillar and berated him furiously, “As a descendant of the Titan Gods, how can you stoop so low as to tarnish the Titans’ bloodline and turn to the Devils? You deserve death for that!”

“Since you’ve discovered it, then what else can I say?” Barham snorted coldly and said, “Kill me if you want. What’s the point of saying so much crap?”

“Fine! I’ll send you to your death, then!”

With another cold snort, the old high priest’s palm went smacking down through the air again. The might of the strike this time wasn’t just ten times or a hundred times more fearsome than the previous.

“It’s all over!”

Barham closed his eyes in despair.

“Hahaha, Old High Priest Hyman, to think you’re still so hot-tempered even after a separation of 10,000 years!”
