Chapter 38 - Fall of the Empire
After John flew outside the palace, instead of being hurt, he was actually smiling as this was the very first time he got careless.
John then looked towards the Emperor Xue Ye and the others. "I didn't expect to be hit by some surprise attack."
"Your Majesty, you actually made me happy today and for that I will gladly show you my power." John said while smiling. When he became a Titled Douluo earlier, he asked the system what he should do to summon his 9th spirit ring. The system answered that he just need to write Recca in order to summon the 9th flame dragon.
John then motioned his hand to write something.
***Recca***
After writing, unlike his other eigth flame dragons. The 9th flame dragon didn't came but only the spirit ring came out and then he felt his back was so hot in which it burns his upper clothes.
The tattoo on John's back were now complete, forming a full dragon.
[Spirit ring absorbed]
[9th Spirit Ring
Recca
Description: A full grown dragon.
Skill: After summoning, Recca could fight independently by having all the skills of the other flame dragons.]
After hearing the notification, John was astonished to know that he could actually summon a dragon outside and it could fight independently.
Emperor Xue Ye and the others were confused on what was happening. They heard John said they he will let them see some his power but what they is just John burning his clothes.
John then smile at them. He then said "Your Majesty, if you just let me be and didn't planned any ill intentions, this would not happened. Remember, the Empire's fall was all because of your foolishness."
***Recca***
John then motioned his hands once again. A spirit ring then lit up and suddenly the sky turned dark.
All of the people living in the city panicked after seeing the situation. They could only just see some people flying outside the palace but they didn't know who it was and what are they doing.
Unlike those ordinary person, some spirit masters in the vicinity could clearly see them especially those who had a high level of spirit power.

A place not far from the palace,
"John were actually the target of the empire." Yu Xiaogang said.
"B-But John's power earlier was very terryfying. He wiped out almost half of the army with just one spirit skill. And what are those strange spirit beasts??How could he tame them and actually fought for him??" Ma Hongjun was shaking in fear. This was his first time seeing that kind of power.
Flender, Zhao Wuji, Oscar were also sweating after seeing John fighting the Empire's army earlier.
Tang San was also afraid after seeing John, he never thought that John after 5 years will become a monster. He thought that after travelling with his father, he could fill the gap in their strength but now, its just his hopeless thought.

Outside the palace,
After John wrote Recca, the tattoo on his back light up and his spirit ring rose in sky big enough compared to the palace.
The sudden strange movement of John's spirit ting caused the entire city to looked up.
The tattoo on John's back flew towards the spirit ring in a flashed.
When the tattoo was about to passed through the spirit ring, Emperor Xue and the others gasped because instead of a tattoo, a dragon's head came out followed with its body.
The dragon was so big that it was comparable to the palace. They could only stare at it while the dragon were doing the same.
The dragon roared loudly that it shakes the whole continent.

An incredibly beautiful woman could be seen sitting in a throne. She wears a white and red gown with long sleeves, adorned with wrought silver. Her golden crown is shaped like a halo around her head, matching her golden scepter. Her ocean blue hair falls like water down her back and to the ground.
She frowned while looking towards the direction of the sound of the roar. She wanted to see the situation but without the order of God Posiedon, she could only stay on the island.

Several Gods were having some discussion towards the situation.

Outside the palace,
Emperor Xue Ye and the others were shaking in fear after seeing the dragon.
Emperor Xue Ye regretted what he had done. Now, he could only grit his teeth while looking at John.
"Clan Master Ning, are you also involve in the Emperor's scheme?" John asked and looked at Ning Fengzhi.
"No." Ning Fengzhi immediately denied. He already knew that John was holding the life of the empire in his hand right now.
Emperor Xue Ye could only looked at Ning Fengzhi while gritting his teeth.
"Then, you better leave or you might be
killed together with these people." John smiled while looking at emperor Xue Ye and the ten Titled Douluo.
Upon hearing, Ning Fengzhi leave right away without looking.
After a while, John then said "Your Majesty, even if you send out your army five years ago, you still can't kill me. Now that I'm back, I will collect the debt with interest."
"Attack!!!!" Emperor Xue Ye shouted. He was still hoping that with the help of ten Titled Douluo he could still kill John.
John smirked by their actions.
Before the ten Titled Douluo could attack, the dragon already concentrating a fireball in its mouth.
The dragon then attacked, unleashing a powerful attack towards the palace.
The people around the city panicked after seeing the dragon's attack.
Emperor Xue Ye and the ten Titled Douluo looked in horror for the upcoming attack.
The fireball was like a meteor coming from the atmosphere.
"Johnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!" Emperor Xue Ye could only shout John's name before they were swallowed by the fire beam together with the palace.
...Boom...
The ground shake after the fire beam hit the ground creating a huge destruction erasing the whole palace.
The people living in the city felt that the world will come to an end. On the other hand, some spirit masters throughout the city were now already retreating while the others stayed waiting for what will happen afterwards.
John then stand at the head of the dragon.
The dragon roared once again. Some of the people living in the city were crying for help.
"Listen!!" John shouted.
John's voice echoed throughout the city. The people stopped for a while and looked at the direction of the voice.
"Hevean Dou Empire's era ends here. I, John Hendrix, declare myself as a new Emperor and rebuild this empire and name it as True God's Empire from now on." John said while looking down. The dragon roared once again which made the people woke up.
"You can leave if you don't want to stay. For those who wants to stay, I promised to make this empire as the safest and strongest empire ever built. Make your choice." John declared before using instant transmission and dissappeared.
After John leave, the city became quite. The people were still shocked from what just happened.
After a while, different shouts could be heard throughout the city. Some praises and some didn't. Some were hesitating whether to stay or leave the city.

In some place in the city,
"John's power is very terrible." Flender said. He then thought that if somehow in the past, they forced John to tell his secrets. He can't imagine what will happen to them now.
"After five years, I think John was now invincible in this world." Yu Xiaogang followed.
Zhao Wuji did not comment but he was actually sweating after remembering what he did in the past.
"Teacher, I think we have more problem than this. Remember Dai Mubai went back to his home to report that Zhu Zhuqing came back." Tang San seriously said.
Upon hearing what Tang San said, Yu Xiaogang and the others widened their eyes. They knew the disagreements between the two. And thinking what would happen if John were to attack to Star Lou Empire.
"We need to leave." Flender panickedly said. They were worried of Dai Mubai as he was also his students.
The others then nodded and leave immediately.

Dugu Yan's Mansion,
Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Sia were waiting for John. They could hear all the commotion in the city but they stayed still inside and wait for him.
After a while, Leafeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon suddenly stood up and run outside.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others then followed and see what was happening.
.................
When they arrived outside, they first saw a mighty dragon. They got scared after seeing but when they saw John standing on its head they then calmed down.
John then cancelled his 9th spirit ring ability.
The dragon became fire and then gradually dissappeared while being absorbed in John's back and formed a dragon tattoo again.
John then went down.
"I'm back." John smiled while looking at them.
Sia immediately jumped at John and hugged in which John hugged her back.
After a while, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked "John, what was that dragon earlier?"
"Well, that was actually my 9th spirit ring ability." John said before releasing his spirit rings.
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing were astonished when seeing John's nine white spirit rings floating above him.
"John, why were your spirit rings all white?" Dugu Yan suddenly asked as this was the first time she saw John's spirit rings.
"Well, it's just like this even before." John can't find any better excuse to explain his spirit ring.
After a while, Sia then asked while embracing John "Master, can you wear some clothes first."
John looked down and saw Sia blushing. He also looked towards Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan who were also blushing.
John smiled at their reactions. He didn't thought just by seeing his body, it could actually aroused other people.
John then summoned some clothes in his inventory and wear it.
"Well, let's head outside first." John said. He then summoned Entei and the others before heading inside.
..................
Inside the mansion, 0
John and the others were now sitting in some living room in the mansion.
"John, what actually happened in the city?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked.
"Well, I destroyed the palace and kill the Emperor." John answered while looking at them.
"D-Did you really kill the Emperor?" Dugu Yan answered again while being shocked.
"Yes, and I also declared myself as the new Emperor, so from now on, you will become my Empressess." John said while smiling.
Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Sia were shocked after hearing what John said.
"But before that, we need to rebuild the palace and get the peoples trust. We also need to visit some places and forces of the empire before and asked if they were willing to stay." John seriously said while thinking of the problem of forming a new empire.
" But don't worry, I already had a plan." John said before smiling.
While John were thinking of what he will do from now on, he doesn't know that there were entities who were observing him from above.
