Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Roar!

With a majestic dragon's roar, nine colossal dragons spiraled through the sky, encircling Timothy and Sylvia.

As the dragons danced and soared, the sky was bathed in a brilliant golden light.

An overwhelming sense of awe spread in all directions.

Amidst this grandeur, faint beams of light pierced through the dark sky, carrying an ancient, mysterious aura.

A fragrant breeze drifted down, as if it had traveled from the dawn of time.

Legend has it that the dragons possess a supreme ritual known as the Blessing of the Nine Dragons.

When the Blessing of the Nine Dragons is performed, it can summon celestial phenomena, a sign of divine favor.

Since ancient times, only saints have been worthy of receiving such an honor.

And after that era, no one had ever witnessed the Blessing of the Nine Dragons again.

Now, the mysterious aura descended, enveloped by the nine dragons.

Above, the sky shimmered with auroras, while the majestic forms of the dragons surrounded them.

The profound essence of the universe seemed to converge at this moment, as if the entire world was focused on this one place.

From afar, those gazing at Aurora Land were left speechless by the overwhelming presence of both the dragons and the heavens.

"What… what is that?!"

At Sky Sanctuary.

The High Priests and disciples, who had just realized the goddess had vanished, stared up at the sky, their faces filled with shock.

This powerful and mysterious energy was unlike anything they had ever seen or heard of.

"There's a legend about the Blessing of the Nine Dragons, that it can summon celestial signs. Could this be… the legendary ritual?"

Elder Turner stared at the sky in disbelief.

Although the scene before him matched the ancient texts perfectly, who in the world could command the dragons to perform the Blessing of the Nine Dragons?

And… why now, of all times, on Valentine's Day?

This event was bound to become a shocking tale that would spread across the entire continent of Elant. Once Goddess Sylvia returned, they would have to report this monumental event to her immediately!

It wasn't just Sky Sanctuary. The spectacle in the sky was too grand to ignore.

At that moment, countless practitioners from various sects gazed at the sky over Aurora Land, utterly stunned.

Who could possibly have the power to summon the Blessing of the Nine Dragons and cause such a celestial phenomenon?

"Could this… be a Valentine's Day gift?"

Someone couldn't help but blurt out.

"No way! Are you even thinking straight? Who in their right mind would use the Blessing of the Nine Dragons as a Valentine's Day gift?"

"Then who do you think could possibly have the authority to use the Blessing of the Nine Dragons?"

"How would I know…"

For a moment, even the most powerful factions, racking their brains, couldn't come up with an answer.

Except for Blooming Sanctuary.

Holy Maiden Aeliana gazed at the sky, a hint of longing on her delicate face.

But soon, that longing turned into bitter frustration.

Others might not have a clue, but she knew all too well.

There were only two people in the entire world who could pull off something like this.

"Using the Blessing of the Nine Dragons as a gift… ughhh!"

Holy Maiden Aeliana never imagined that, in an effort to avoid being overwhelmed by all the lovey-dovey couples on Valentine's Day, she had hidden herself deep within Blooming Sanctuary.

And yet, just by glancing up at the sky, she was hit with this scene.

This was just too much!

"Holy Maiden, what… what are you doing?"

A nearby disciple noticed Holy Maiden Aeliana covering herself with her golden hair and quickly asked with concern.

"I don't want to see anyone. I've had enough of this lovey-dovey nonsense!"

Holy Maiden Aeliana was on the verge of tears.

Disciple: "…"

…

"Why do I suddenly feel like I can hear Holy Maiden Aeliana crying?" Sylvia said with a smile, looking at Timothy.

"Crying? What crying?"

"Probably the sound of someone who's had enough of all the romance."

"Well, let her cry then."

Timothy chuckled. Who would've thought that even Holy Maiden Aeliana would have a day like this?

"Wait a minute... is this the Valentine's Day gift you prepared for me?"

Sylvia's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the majestic forms of the nine dragons.

"That's right. Do you like it?" Timothy asked.

"Of course I do. I never thought I'd get to witness the Blessing of the Nine Dragons with my own eyes. And to be right in the middle of it..."

Sylvia shyly turned her head to the side.

"For my wife, something like this is no big deal," Timothy said with a grin. "But..."

He paused for a moment, then smiled. "Since you like the gift, don't you think I deserve a little reward?"

"A reward? What kind of reward?"

"Kiss me."

Timothy pointed to himself.

"But... didn't we just kiss a moment ago?"

Sylvia suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, especially now that the nine dragons, led by Azura, were still circling above them.

"That was then. Besides, I've always been the one making the first move. Don't you think it's your turn to be the one to take the initiative?"

Timothy smiled softly.

Before he could even finish his sentence, Sylvia moved.

In the next instant, her soft lips pressed against his.

Boom!

At that exact moment, the nine dragons scattered in all directions.

It seemed to signal the end of the Blessing of the Nine Dragons. In the dark sky, a golden rift suddenly appeared.

From that rift, golden energy slowly drifted down.

It felt like being bathed in divine grace.

As the golden light enveloped them, pure spiritual energy surged toward them.

Even Sylvia, a Holy Emperor-level powerhouse, could feel herself slowly advancing.

She had been stuck in the Transcendence Realm for over a hundred years.

To her surprise, under the influence of this profound energy, the barrier that had been blocking her final breakthrough was crumbling away.

The countless obstacles that had once stood between her and the Ascension Phase were swept aside.

Now, only one final step remained.

"This is the Blessing of the Nine Dragons, the blessing of the heavens!"

As they slowly pulled apart, Sylvia's eyes were filled with a mixture of wonder and joy.

She never expected Timothy's Valentine's Day gift to be something like this.

Thanks to him, she was now just one step away from her final breakthrough.

"How was my kiss? Not bad, right?" Sylvia asked, her cheeks slightly flushed as she gazed at Timothy.

Timothy chuckled. "It was so sudden, I didn't fully appreciate it. How about you try again?"

"You!"

Sylvia was at a loss for words, her face turning even redder as she lowered her head. "Actually, I also prepared a Valentine's Day gift for you. But..."

She bit her lip, finally gathering the courage to say something embarrassing. "But when you get it, you can't laugh at me, and you definitely can't show it to anyone else. Just pretend it never happened, okay?"

Too shy to look Timothy in the eye, Sylvia slowly pulled something out from her pocket...
