Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Chapter 170: Is that supposed to be impressive?

"How on earth did you find it?" Holy Maiden Aeliana asked, clearly surprised.

Even if Timothy was exceptionally talented, the person in question had already perished, body and soul. How could he possibly have found any clues?

"It has nothing to do with that person. I found it through the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions. Anyway, Holy Maiden, just follow me. Holy Emperor Featherwind has stationed people here, clearly eyeing the Blooming Sanctuary. It's time he paid the price."

Timothy whistled, and from a distance, Azura immediately flew over.

"Oh, oh, oh! Alone in a room with Holy Maiden Aeliana in the middle of the night? If the Goddess finds out, you're going to be in big trouble, buddy," Azura teased with a mischievous grin.

"If you dare tell Goddess Sylvia what you saw, you know what'll happen," Timothy warned, a dangerous smile playing on his lips as he stared at Azura.

"Damn it! How dare you threaten the Dragon King! If only I could beat you!"

Azura shuddered, recalling the time when Timothy had thrashed the three Dragon Kings.

"Hmph! Just wait until I eat a ton of Golden Scale Dragon Carp. I'll definitely get my revenge for today! Once our one-year contract is up, let's see if you still dare to look down on me!"

Azura's lips curled into a wicked smile as she fantasized about reclaiming her glory as the Dragon King after a year.

"For now, just turn back into your dragon form," Timothy said, tapping her on the head.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! All you do is ride me around! At least it used to be just during the day, but now you're doing it at night too? This is too much!"

Azura grumbled, feeling like she was being forced to work overtime, but she reluctantly transformed into her dragon form.

"..." Timothy sighed.

Riding the dragon, a soft, almost childlike roar echoed through the sky, instantly drawing the attention of countless female disciples.

"I've heard rumors that Senior Brother Timothy has a majestic Dragon King as his mount, but I never thought it was true!"

"Even though the roar sounds a bit... cute, this is still so cool!"

"Timothy is so cool!"

"Timothy is amazing!"

Excited cheers erupted from the crowd.

But then, the female disciples noticed something else.

"Wait, why is Holy Maiden Aeliana also on the dragon? And why is she sitting so close behind Senior Brother Timothy? Is she... holding onto him?"

"No way, am I seeing things?"

"I must be imagining it. There's no way the Holy Maiden would do something like that!"

In an instant, they were all stunned.

Following Timothy's directions, Azura soared through the sky, flying who knows how far.

"Strange, why are we heading this way?" Holy Maiden Aeliana wondered aloud, a hint of confusion in her voice.

Suddenly, she noticed something in the distance—a sky full of dazzling lights.

There, illuminated by countless lights, was a floating castle!

"A Sky Fortress!"

It was said that these fortresses floated above the earth, hidden in the clouds, and were incredibly mysterious.

Apart from the Sky Sanctuary, no one had ever seen another floating castle.

But here, right before her eyes, was one of them!

Timothy's gaze sharpened as he sensed faint traces of blood drifting toward the castle.

"So it really is this place that's affecting the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions." Timothy muttered to himself. "This castle must have been created specifically to counter the Blooming Sanctuary. If we hadn't noticed in time, they would've slowly and subtly eroded the sanctuary, eventually destroying all seven Blossoms of the Seven Emotions."

"We're under attack!"

"Wait, is that... Timothy and Holy Maiden Aeliana?"

Suddenly, alarmed voices rang out, and countless lights shone down from the castle. The people inside the castle, upon recognizing the two figures, showed clear signs of fear and astonishment.

Especially the earth soldiers illuminated by the lights—they looked visibly shaken. After all, this was Holy Maiden Aeliana, a powerhouse at the Holy Emperor level!

"What's all the fuss about? Our defenses were set up by Holy Emperor Featherwind himself. Unless they have wings, even a Holy Emperor can't break through."

As they looked up at the sky, both Timothy and Holy Maiden Aeliana could see it clearly. Above the floating castle, all the earth soldiers had wings on their backs. The weaker ones had only a single wing, while the stronger ones had a pair.

And the person who stepped forward to the edge, speaking in a cold tone, had two pairs of wings!

"That's Xander Wraithwing, one of Holy Emperor Featherwind's three generals," Holy Maiden Aeliana said, her expression shifting slightly.

Even though Xander had crossed into the Ocean's Gate realm, she could easily crush him with a single palm. But as Xander had mentioned, there were rumors that the Skyfeather Sanctuary's legacy involved wings. And to enter a Cloudspire Fortress built by Skyfeather Sanctuary, one needed wings. Without them, even a Holy Emperor would struggle to break through.

This was the strength of Skyfeather Sanctuary. Each sacred land had its own ancient and mysterious legacy, and the rules set by these lands were not easily broken, no matter how powerful one was.

"Are you sure this castle is the one disrupting the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions in the Blooming Sanctuary?" Holy Maiden Aeliana asked.

"Yes, I'm certain. There's likely a miniature Dragon Blood Formation inside the castle," Timothy replied, sharing the vision from his Soulborn Eye with Holy Maiden Aeliana.

In an instant, she saw a bloodstain leading up into the sky. This bloodstain carried a chilling, eerie aura, as if it connected to something unspeakable.

"If that's the case, we need to find a way to investigate."

Countless petals began to drift through the air as Holy Maiden Aeliana's body radiated a brilliant, sacred golden light. Using the petals as steps, she began to ascend into the sky.

The might of a Holy Emperor spread in all directions. Not only was there a sense of divine purity, but her overwhelming majesty also inspired awe and reverence, making it impossible for anyone to dare challenge her.

However, despite the immense power she exuded, as she approached the floating castle, Holy Maiden Aeliana began to feel an immense pressure, as if she were bearing the weight of a thousand mountains. The void pressed down on her, and even her Holy Emperor body felt the strain. Each step became increasingly difficult.

Holy Maiden Aeliana soon realized that although she was only a few hundred feet away from the castle, she could no longer move forward. It was as if the ancient, mysterious aura from the castle had solidified the space around her, blocking her path. No matter who it was, they couldn't advance even an inch!

"So this is the barrier from Skyfeather Sanctuary?" Holy Maiden Aeliana gritted her teeth, feeling a mix of frustration and unwillingness as her body trembled slightly.

"As expected, without wings, even a Holy Emperor can't break through here! Hahaha!" Xander burst into unrestrained laughter, proudly flaunting the four wings on his back. "Even Holy Emperor Featherwind only has five wings. Who dares to act recklessly in this floating castle?"

"Four wings, huh? Is that supposed to be impressive?"

But just then, Timothy's voice suddenly cut through the air.
