Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

After what felt like forever, the system finally spoke up.

Even though it was still the same emotionless electronic voice, Timothy thought he could detect a hint of reluctance in it.

Looks like the system wasn\'t used to being outsmarted by a human...

With a slight curl of his fingers, Timothy summoned a dazzling display of thunder. Red, blue, purple... various colors of lightning intertwined and sparkled in his hand.

The power he held seemed limitless, a stark contrast to Lucian, who, despite having received almost the entire legacy of the Holy Emperor Thunderflame, hadn\'t trained deeply.

Now, with Timothy having perfected the Convergence of Ten Thousand Thunders Technique, the power he could unleash was many times greater than Lucian\'s.

Satisfied, Timothy dissipated the lightning in his hand and maneuvered his Arcane Airship to dock alongside another.

Most of the disciples from Thunderflame Valley were severely injured, lying on the ground in pain.

Even the few who could move didn\'t dare to stand up, opting instead to play dead.

Timothy, however, treated them all the same, picking them up one by one and kicking them onto the Sky Sanctuary\'s airship like soccer balls.

"Ouch."

"That hurts."

"I\'m dying here."

The cries of pain continued as Timothy gestured to the others.

Soon, all the disciples from Sky Sanctuary had transferred to his airship.

Layla looked worried: "Brother Timothy, although we think you did a great job, don\'t you think you were a bit too harsh? What if the Holy Emperor Thunderflame uses this as an excuse..."

"I spared his life exactly because I want the Holy Emperor Thunderflame to use it as an excuse," Timothy replied, picking up Lucian, who was limp and broken like a rag doll, and throwing him onto the other airship.

There was a dull thud. Who knows how many bones Lucian broke this time, probably not many left intact.

Now that Timothy had shattered his meridians, even the finest treasures of heaven and earth couldn\'t heal him.

Even sparing his life seemed more torturous than death.

"But that\'s the Holy Emperor we\'re talking about, even for you, Brother Timothy..." Layla started, but stopped as she looked into Timothy\'s cold, deep eyes, vast as the stars. She hesitated, feeling an inexplicable trust.

A bizarre thought crossed her mind:

\'Maybe, just maybe, Brother Timothy, with his Mystic Core, could actually stand up to the mighty Holy Emperor Thunderflame?\'

And strangely, the other disciples from Sky Sanctuary seemed to share this sentiment.

After dumping all the disciples from Thunderflame Valley onto the broken airship and retrieving the Sky Sanctuary\'s sails, Timothy steered the Arcane Airship towards Blooming Sanctuary, which soon came into view.

The place was bustling.

As one of the eight ancient sanctuaries, Blooming Sanctuary\'s influence among the righteous sects was undeniable.

Now, with the Holy Maiden personally ordering a grand celebration, countless righteous cultivators had gathered in no time.

All the major dynasties and sects, even the other great sanctuaries, sent representatives to participate.

Many smaller sects that didn\'t receive an invitation couldn\'t even afford to send gifts.

The ground within the sanctuary was strewn with colorful petals, and pillars formed from vines displayed an array of exquisite delicacies.

One of the festival\'s purposes was to provide an opportunity for the righteous cultivators from all over to gather.

Those who revered Blooming Sanctuary enjoyed each other\'s company, savoring the food and chatting away.

However, many eyes, filled with reverence, quietly watched Goddess Sylvia and Holy Maiden Aeliana sitting in the distance.

The two women were stunning in completely different ways.

Holy Maiden Aeliana exuded a mix of divinity and allure, approachable yet inspiring affection.

Goddess Sylvia, on the other hand, was aloof and proud, her demeanor frosty, commanding nothing but respect and admiration.

As petals fluttered down from the sky, complementing their radiant beauty, the scene was truly breathtaking.

Holy Maiden Aeliana smiled warmly, "Sylvia, I can\'t believe you actually came to see me at Blooming Sanctuary. I\'ve missed you terribly since our last meeting."

In a coquettish manner, she gently placed her hand on Sylvia\'s cool one.

But her hand was briskly swatted away.

"Speak if you have something to say," Sylvia said, her gaze icy, a chill emanating from her.

"So heartless..." Holy Maiden Aeliana pouted, but quickly resumed her cheeky grin. "Hehe, actually, I heard that Sky Sanctuary recently took in a new disciple. He\'s handsome, talented, and seems to have done some pretty incredible things. I\'m quite interested in him and wanted to ask about him."

"Timothy? He\'s just an ordinary disciple of Sky Sanctuary, nothing special. I\'m not familiar with him," Sylvia replied, her icy demeanor thawing slightly, even her usually cold voice sounded a bit unnatural.

"Is that so?"

Holy Maiden Aeliana\'s eyes twinkled, "Then never mind. But, Sylvia, you mentioned a friend interested in love stories last time. I\'d love to hear more about it. Could we talk in your chamber?"

"Fine, but if you dare ask any weird questions, don\'t blame me if I end up smashing your chamber too," Sylvia\'s eyes flashed coldly.

"Cough, of course, of course."

Holy Maiden Aeliana nodded repeatedly, showing her sincerity.

...

"It\'s truly beautiful."

"But only Holy Maiden Aeliana could approach Goddess Sylvia so easily."

"Keep it down, if you\'re overheard, you might not live to regret it."

Many cultivators wanted to look but dared not, quietly admiring the stunning scene.

Goddess Sylvia and Holy Maiden Aeliana walking side by side was a sight so beautiful, it was unmatched in this world!

Unfortunately, such a scene was inaccessible to anyone else.

Especially when it came to Goddess Sylvia, any slight disrespect could lead to unimaginable consequences.

Amidst the continuous admiration, Holy Maiden Aeliana subtly turned her head.

She glanced at a group of beautiful female disciples who had been waiting on the side for a long time.

She gave them a subtle look.

As Holy Maiden Aeliana turned back around, these female disciples immediately understood and blended into the crowd...

"Crown Prince Nolan, you\'ve had another breakthrough."

Under a cherry blossom tree shedding pale pink petals.

Chancellor Neville looked at Nolan, who was radiating a mysterious aura, with a mix of resignation and familiarity.

Ever since the prince awakened his Enlightenment Body, Neville had been repeatedly amazed, exclaiming, "Crown Prince Nolan, you\'ve had another breakthrough!"

Now, under the ancient cherry blossom tree of the sanctuary, the prince\'s enlightenment seemed even more profound than before.

The capabilities of the Enlightenment Body were truly terrifying!

Combined with the vast resources provided by the Phoenix Kingdom and the prince\'s seemingly destined fortune.

In just a few days, the prince had advanced from Energy Foundation to Mystic Core.

Such speed was probably unprecedented in history!
