Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Chapter 217: Inferno Cascade

"Not good!"

In that moment, countless faces turned pale as they stared up in shock at the sky.

No one had expected that the corpse of Holy Emperor Apocalypse would still possess the power to manipulate the laws of space.

A crimson hand descended, carrying with it an overwhelming aura of death.

If it struck directly, even Goddess Sylvia would likely be gravely injured!

Sylvia's usually calm and composed face showed a rare trace of seriousness, but everything was happening too fast—there was no time to dodge.

"Haha, Goddess Sylvia, who would've thought you'd end up in such a sorry state!"

Holy Emperor Mountainshade, who had been lying in wait for so long, finally let out a cold laugh, his expression full of mockery.

He had waited for this moment for so long.

To kill Goddess Sylvia, to eliminate Holy Maiden Aeliana.

Without Sky Sanctuary, it was only a matter of time before the entire continent of Elant would fall into his hands!

However, just as Holy Emperor Mountainshade was basking in his triumph, thinking everything was going according to plan...

Suddenly, thousands of Quill Arrows floated into the air.

"Celestial Feather Form!"

Three identical Sacred Forms appeared in the sky, all at once!

Boom!

The three Celestial Feather Forms struck in unison, managing to withstand the terrifying blow.

But the powerful shockwave sent Sylvia flying backward.

After battling the corpse of Holy Emperor Apocalypse, who was at the early Ascension Phase, for so long, Sylvia had already sustained significant internal injuries.

Yet, as she was thrown through the air, she suddenly felt something soft catch her.

Turning around, she saw Timothy, his arms gently wrapped around her waist.

With all eyes on them, Timothy held Sylvia close, helping her regain her balance.

"Impressive, impressive. As expected from someone who's awakened the Enlightenment Body.

I don't know what trick you used, but anyone who can block that attack is not to be underestimated.

However…"

Amidst the swirling dust, Holy Emperor Mountainshade's cold smile reappeared. "Do you really think you can save her a second time?"

"Of course."

Timothy didn't even bother acknowledging him. Instead, he turned to face Sylvia.

"Babe, I need a bit of your blood. The purer, the better."

"My blood? You have a way to deal with that monster?" Sylvia asked, a hint of doubt in her voice.

Even she hadn't fully understood how Timothy had managed to block that last attack.

And the eerie corpse of Holy Emperor Apocalypse… even a Holy Emperor-level expert might not be able to handle it.

"Don't worry, I've got this." Timothy smiled slightly and nodded.

Meanwhile, through the dust, the corpse of Holy Emperor Apocalypse reappeared, bathed in a sinister red glow.

It seemed to have been damaged by the previous strike, but it was rapidly regenerating, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At that moment, with Timothy holding her close, the two were so near that they could almost hear each other's breathing.

Below them, countless disciples and practitioners from various factions were watching the scene unfold in the sky, their eyes glued to the pair.

"My blood, huh… alright…"

Sylvia's voice suddenly became soft, almost shy.

"Hm?"

Timothy blinked, confused for a second. But before he could react, Sylvia's flawless face leaned in close.

And then, without any hesitation, her cherry-red lips pressed against his.

Their lips met, and a surge of warmth flowed into Timothy's mouth—it was the blood of Goddess Sylvia!

Wait, this level of purity... Sylvia bit her tongue to draw out her essence blood!

"Goddess Sylvia... kissed Timothy!"

"What... what just happened?!"

The disciples and elders of Sky Sanctuary stared up at the sky, utterly dumbfounded.

The scene before them had completely shattered their understanding of reality.

And it wasn't just them—disciples from Blooming Sanctuary, Cloud Pavilion Sect, and other major sects were equally stunned.

Many of them were devout followers of Goddess Sylvia. After all, her cold, aloof demeanor, combined with her overwhelming power, had earned her the admiration of countless people.

But now, they had all clearly witnessed the goddess voluntarily kiss Timothy.

"The goddess's first kiss... it's gone!"

Even though they could tell it was an act of desperation, many male disciples clutched their chests in anguish.

Jealousy, envy, heartbreak.

At this point, they didn't even know which word best described the storm of emotions raging inside them.

"Damn it, Timothy! How is he always so conveniently by the goddess's side?!"

Timothy was just as stunned for a moment. While Sylvia's lips were soft and sweet, he hadn't expected his wife to kiss him in a situation like this.

But then, he felt a surge of warmth flood down his throat, like a tidal wave, unstoppable and overwhelming.

Goddess Sylvia was a being who stood proudly above all others, a force to be reckoned with in the entire Elant continent. Her essence blood was so pure, it was flawless, brimming with boundless spiritual energy.

The Celestial Azureflame was indeed incredibly difficult to absorb, but under the influence of Sylvia's essence blood, it began to retreat, bit by bit.

The spiritual energy within Timothy merged with Sylvia's essence blood, surging forward to devour the Celestial Azureflame, which was still trying to resist.

But that resistance was now utterly futile.

Like a massive tidal wave, the endless spiritual energy surged forward, completely engulfing the pure Celestial Azureflame.

The moment the Celestial Azureflame was absorbed was also the moment it reached its peak power.

"Boom!"

A massive wave of pressure exploded outward from Timothy, spreading in all directions.

Everyone stared up at the sky in shock, watching as emerald flames ignited, covering nearly half the sky.

These flames didn't radiate intense heat; in fact, they emitted a faint chill.

But within the seemingly calm green flames, there was an unmistakable, terrifying power.

"Thanks for the help, babe." Timothy smiled slightly.

With the boost from Sylvia's essence blood, the spiritual energy Timothy could now wield was on par with that of a Holy Emperor-level expert.

It was vast, overwhelming, and unstoppable.

The ancient legacy of alchemy, the Celestial Azureflame, could turn the heavens into a furnace and all living beings into its materials.

At that moment, the very fabric of reality seemed to warp.

The heavens became a furnace, and the endless Celestial Azureflame surged upward.

"Refine!"

With a cold glint in his eyes, Timothy commanded, and the sky was filled with a torrent of azure flames, descending from the void.

Inferno Cascade—obliterating all life.

And the target of this alchemical process? None other than the corpse that Holy Emperor Mountainshade had been refining.

"Boom!"

The azure flames engulfed everything, and everyone could clearly see the endless fire completely consume the corpse.

Burning, refining, obliterating, reducing it to ashes!

With a single gesture from Timothy, the body of an Ascension Phase expert was reduced to nothing but a pile of ash!
