Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Chapter 368 Second thing

Holy Emperor Nordain wasn't exactly one of the strongest among the Holy Emperors. Maybe that's why he went to such lengths to expand his influence, even exhausting himself to set up a massive formation.

But even with all that, the scene before them was almost too unbelievable to accept.

Even the practitioners from the Everfrost Sect, who had wanted to step in and stop it, were already too late.

They watched in shock as Nordain's ice blade was shattered by a single sword strike. The sword energy pierced straight through his imperial body, and he collapsed into a pool of blood. The fear on their faces was unmistakable.

To kill a Holy Emperor with one strike—just how terrifying was Goddess Sylvia's power? Experience tales at empire

Before entering the Sepulcher of the Sacred, the battle where she faced off against three Holy Emperors had already made practitioners from all around realize just how overwhelmingly powerful she was.

But now, everyone could clearly feel that Sylvia's strength had far surpassed what it had been during that battle with the three Holy Emperors.

Especially her sword intent—it was so profound and mysterious that even a Holy Emperor couldn't comprehend it. It was this overwhelming sword intent that left Holy Emperor Nordain with no chance to resist, dying with hatred in his heart.

"In just half a month after entering the Sepulcher of the Sacred, her understanding of the sword has reached such a terrifying level. Did she encounter some kind of miracle in the Sepulcher, or is her talent and comprehension just that monstrous?"

"No matter what, to push her strength even further while still at the peak of the Transcendence Realm… The Goddess's talent is unmatched in the past ten thousand years. Maybe, just maybe, she'll be the one to break the curse that's lasted for millennia and become the first to ascend to the Ascension Phase, earning the title of Supreme Emperor!"

For a moment, practitioners from all sides couldn't help but gasp in awe.

But the practitioners from the Everfrost Sect were in a completely different state. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and none of them dared to even look directly at Sylvia.

At that moment, Sylvia had already sheathed her sword. The wooden blade slowly disappeared, and she stole a quick glance at Timothy.

Her gaze lingered for just a moment, but then, realizing there were still many practitioners around, her expression quickly shifted. She regained her cold and aloof demeanor.

"Welcome back, Goddess!"

Elder Turner was the first to step forward, bowing deeply to Sylvia, his voice filled with excitement.

The surrounding practitioners couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion wash over them.

After the chaos in the Sepulcher of the Sacred, Sylvia had finally emerged. It was clear now that the one who had quelled the turmoil in the Sepulcher was none other than the Goddess herself, who had ventured deep into its heart.

She had fought three Holy Emperors, calmed the unrest in the Sepulcher, and now, with a single sword strike, she had slain Holy Emperor Nordain.

Even though her beauty was breathtaking, not a single person dared to harbor any disrespectful thoughts.

"Goddess, may I ask… was it you and Holy Maiden Aeliana who quelled the chaos in the Sepulcher of the Sacred?"

Finally, Master Fenvin from Westminster Abbey couldn't hold back and stepped forward to ask.

Sylvia paused for a moment before replying, "Actually… the only one who went with me to the Sepulcher was Timothy."

"Timothy?"

At her words, all eyes turned toward Timothy.

Many practitioners suddenly realized that Timothy's aura was completely concealed, making it impossible for them to discern his cultivation level.

"If I remember correctly, Timothy was still at the Ocean's Gate Realm when he entered the Sepulcher. Breaking through to the Holy Emperor Realm isn't something that happens so easily. He's probably just hiding his aura."

But despite their doubts, almost none of the practitioners believed that Timothy could have broken through in such a short time.

However, as they looked around, Abbot Fenvin suddenly realized something else that was incredibly important: "Wait, where are Holy Maiden Aeliana and Azura?"

His question immediately caused a stir.

"Just now, the Goddess said she only went with Timothy to deal with the turmoil in the Sepulcher. She didn't mention Holy Maiden Aeliana at all. Could it be… that Holy Maiden Aeliana has already perished in the Sepulcher of the Sacred?"

"There's no need to worry. Aeliana and the others are still inside the Sepulcher of the Sacred. Not only are they safe, but they haven't even suffered a scratch."

Sylvia's voice quickly cut through the increasingly wild speculations of the crowd.

"So, Holy Maiden Aeliana is unharmed!"

Hearing this, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.

However, noticing the confused looks from the surrounding practitioners, Abbot Fenvin couldn't help but step forward on their behalf. Nervously, he asked, "But, Goddess, why didn't the Holy Maiden leave with you? Why is she still inside the Sepulcher of the Sacred?"

"Uh… well…"

Sylvia coughed awkwardly, but quickly regained her cold and aloof demeanor. In a firm voice, she replied, "There are some things you don't need to ask about. You'll find out in due time."

"Understood."

Abbot Fenvin trembled at her words, immediately shutting his mouth, too scared to ask anything further.

At that moment, Sylvia fell silent.

Her cool, beautiful eyes swept over the crowd, as if taking in every movement and expression of the practitioners around her.

Even though her wooden sword had long been put away, the lingering aura of her divine power in the air was enough to make every practitioner feel an overwhelming sense of awe. None dared to entertain even the slightest disrespectful thought.

After a long pause, Sylvia finally spoke again, her voice calm but commanding: "As you can see, the situation inside the Sepulcher of the Sacred has been resolved.

The source of this chaos was none other than the deceased Supreme Emperor Verena. After causing the disturbance in the Sepulcher, her soul hid in the Netherworld, attempting to disrupt the cycle of reincarnation between the two realms.

The reason we were able to quell this unrest is that Timothy and I ventured into the Netherworld and destroyed Supreme Emperor Verena.

Now, both the continent of Elant and the Netherworld have returned to peace. Supreme Emperor Verena's soul has been completely annihilated, so there's no need to worry about any further disturbances.

I will issue a formal decree with all the details once I return to Sky Sanctuary, and it will be distributed to all sects and factions.

As for the aftermath inside the Sepulcher of the Sacred, I will send disciples to clean up the ruins. You can all return to your sects without concern."

As her words fell, it was as if a storm had erupted in the hearts of everyone present.

Though Sylvia's explanation was brief and to the point, each revelation was enough to shake the entire world.

The source of the Sepulcher's chaos was Supreme Emperor Verena, who had been controlling countless corpses! And the Goddess had somehow crossed the boundary between realms to enter the Netherworld!

These revelations left the practitioners from all the major sects utterly stunned.

Everything had happened so suddenly, and the content of her words was almost too unbelievable to grasp.

But in the face of Goddess Sylvia, no one dared to voice any doubts.

Everyone could see clearly from the cold, proud look in her eyes that she wasn't lying.

The air seemed to freeze. Though no one spoke, the minds of every practitioner were in turmoil, waves of shock crashing through their thoughts.

"By the way, Sylvia," Timothy suddenly broke the silence with a slight smile, "now that the matter of the Sepulcher of the Sacred is resolved, when are you planning to announce that second thing you mentioned earlier?"
