Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

The two of them struck with such ruthless precision that, in an instant, they tore open a path through the countless corpses of the Holy Emperors surrounding them.

"Azura, transform!" Timothy immediately gave the command.

"Rooaaar!" Azura's body was enveloped in a golden light, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into her dragon form.

Timothy and Sylvia leapt onto Azura's back.

"Wait for me!"

Holy Maiden Aeliana hurried to catch up, but she was a bit too slow. She could only grab onto Azura's tail, hanging on as they soared into the sky.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Not there, please!"

Azura let out a few pained cries from the tugging, but given the urgency of the situation, she had no choice but to endure it.

"Hey, what about me?!"

Holy Emperor Luminis was completely dumbfounded. By the time he snapped out of it, only he and Holy Emperor Earthshard were left on the ground.

"Hey, wait for me!"

First, he had to endure watching them act all lovey-dovey, and now he was being ruthlessly abandoned. Holy Emperor Luminis had no idea what he had done to deserve this.

But the relentless swarm of Holy Emperor corpses was closing in, leaving him no way to break through.

"Damn you, Timothy! Just you wait, I'll get my revenge!"

Holy Emperor Luminis could only shout helplessly as he struggled to fend off the encroaching corpses, slowly retreating toward the canyon behind him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Meanwhile, Azura, now inside Ocean's Gate, picked up speed. Thanks to her innate dragon abilities, even Holy Emperor-level fighters couldn't keep up with her.

In a swift turn, they broke through the encirclement of Holy Emperor corpses.

They were now just a short distance from the gate.

But suddenly, the space in front of them began to warp and tremble.

A massive tornado erupted out of nowhere, its sheer force threatening to pull everything into its vortex.

At the eye of the storm, Supreme Emperor Zephyros stepped forward.

He could actually manipulate space within the Sepulcher of the Sacred!

Sylvia's eyes widened in shock.

While it was true that Holy Emperor-level fighters could control space and traverse vast distances, the laws of space within the Sepulcher of the Sacred were supposed to be restricted.

Even she couldn't use her spatial abilities here.

But somehow, the corpse of Supreme Emperor Zephyros was able to bypass these limitations!

The gate was so close, yet the space ahead was now twisted and distorted by the raging winds.

And there, blocking their path, stood the corpse of Supreme Emperor Zephyros, like an immovable mountain.

Behind them, Holy Emperor Luminis and Holy Emperor Earthshard were completely overwhelmed by the onslaught of corpses, retreating into the canyon.

More and more Holy Emperor corpses turned their hollow, blood-red eyes toward Azura, their stiff bodies closing in on her.

"Honey, hold on tight. We're about to speed up," Timothy whispered softly into Sylvia's ear, despite the dire situation.

Then, raising his voice slightly, he called out to Holy Maiden Aeliana, who was still clinging to Azura's tail: "Holy Maiden, hold on tight! Don't fall off!"

"Huh?"

Amidst the howling winds, Aeliana heard his voice but was momentarily confused, not quite understanding what he meant.

Azura was already flying at her maximum speed, surpassing even that of Holy Emperor-level fighters. How could she possibly go any faster?

But Timothy's gaze was already fixed on the figure blocking their path—Supreme Emperor Zephyros.

A Supreme Emperor who had reached the Ascension Phase.

Even though his body was dead and his soul had long since dissipated, the terrifying power of Supreme Emperor Zephyros's corpse was something no living Holy Emperor could hope to match.

Suddenly, a massive golden giant appeared in the sky—Timothy's Sacred Form.

The pressure from the giant was like a mountain crashing down, its enormous hand casting a shadow over Supreme Emperor Zephyros.

The scene was awe-inspiring, with golden light flooding the sky and the wind howling violently. But as Supreme Emperor Zephyros's blood-red eyes looked up, the golden giant suddenly froze in place.

It was as if an immense, invisible force had stopped it, rendering it completely immobile.

This was the terror of a Supreme Emperor. Even in death, a mere Sacred Form couldn't pose any threat to him.

With a casual flick of his finger, Supreme Emperor Zephyros unleashed a devastating force.

The moment his finger made contact, the winds turned into countless blades, slicing through the air and targeting the golden giant.

In an instant, the tornado tore through Timothy's Sacred Form, shattering it into golden fragments that scattered in the wind.

A Sacred Bell rang out from the distance, and Sylvia quickly intervened, blocking the remnants of the attack.

The howling winds raged across the sky, as if they were about to tear the entire Sepulcher of the Sacred apart.

Supreme Emperor Zephyros stood there like a god descended to earth, an insurmountable force.

The winds roared like a wild beast, and even the corpses of the Holy Emperors seemed to tremble with an inexplicable fear under his overwhelming presence.

The sheer terror of his power extended across the canyon, causing the practitioners still battling the skeletal army to look on in shock.

"The might of a Supreme Emperor! There's actually a revived Supreme Emperor corpse deep within the Sepulcher of the Sacred!"

For a moment, many of them turned pale, their hearts filling with dread and fear.

"This is bad. If more Supreme Emperor corpses revive, not even Goddess Sylvia will be able to handle it. The deepest part of the Sepulcher of the Sacred is where countless Holy Emperors are buried!"

Even though they had no idea what was happening deep within the canyon, the practitioners couldn't help but feel a growing sense of unease.

Back in the depths of the Sepulcher of the Sacred, after Sylvia's Sacred Bell had neutralized Supreme Emperor Zephyros's attack, his blood-red eyes locked onto Azura's dragon form.

Though his eyes were hollow and lifeless, there was a faint trace of malice in them.

"Roar!"

The once-proud Supreme Emperor Zephyros, who had stood at the pinnacle of the Elant Continent, let out a beast-like roar.

His immense pressure transformed into a violent windstorm, sweeping out in all directions.

He was clearly enraged!

More and more Holy Emperor corpses flew into the sky, surrounding them.

If this continued, they would soon be completely encircled.

However, Timothy seemed to have anticipated this.

In the brief moment when Supreme Emperor Zephyros paused, the Enigma Chessboard suddenly appeared in Timothy's hand.

In an instant, a massive illusionary world materialized, enveloping Supreme Emperor Zephyros entirely.

The chessboard's world of strategy and tactics had trapped him within.

"Roar!"

Realizing he was being restrained, Supreme Emperor Zephyros grew even more furious, raising his hand to break free.

But Timothy had already foreseen this.

"Realm of a Thousand Blades."

His gaze was sharp as a sword, and the moment he locked onto Supreme Emperor Zephyros, countless blades materialized within the illusionary world.

Some were embedded in the ground, others descended from the sky, and still more slowly emerged from the air itself.

In that moment, the mighty Supreme Emperor was trapped within a world of blades!

Timothy's finger then pressed down on a specific spot on Azura's back, a place he had already chosen.

"Rrrrgh~"

Azura let out a soft, strained sound, and her speed… suddenly surged.
