Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Boom!

A golden light burst out in all directions, carrying with it a faint, lingering scent of rare herbs.

At that moment, Timothy slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils were now tinged with a golden hue, giving him an almost divine, radiant appearance—majestic and awe-inspiring.

Whoosh.

Even the simple act of Timothy exhaling sent a powerful shockwave rippling outward.

His body had been tempered, his soul cleansed.

After repeatedly refining his body and spirit with three potent elixirs, Timothy had undergone a significant transformation. Not only had he fully stabilized his Ocean's Gate realm, but he had also taken a step further, advancing directly to the mid-stage of Ocean's Gate!

Each major realm was notoriously difficult to break through. Even if someone managed to force their way up, it could take years just to stabilize their new level, let alone make further progress.

This is why the gap between practitioners at different stages often felt like an insurmountable chasm. Only through years of accumulation could one hope to ascend to higher realms.

But Timothy had shattered this norm. By consuming several seventh-tier elixirs in quick succession and harnessing the terrifying devouring and growth speed of his Ancient Saintly Body, he had achieved what would be impossible for anyone else.

For most people, even if they had access to such rare elixirs, their bodies wouldn't be able to handle more than one. Without the Ancient Saintly Body, taking even a second elixir would be fatal, let alone beneficial.

Timothy slowly stood up, and with his movement, a final, powerful wave of energy spread out in all directions.

The holy golden light in his eyes gradually faded. Clenching his fists, Timothy could clearly feel the surge in his strength.

His body was now as solid as a rock, his soul steady and firm.

But that wasn't all. Timothy's spiritual awareness swept across the land, as if he were gazing down from the heavens.

Everything within a radius of hundreds of miles was within his perception.

He could hear the bustling chatter of people on the streets, and even the intimate whispers of couples in their small rooms, laughing and flirting with each other.

This was a completely different level from before.

Upon reaching Ocean's Gate, the once limited storage of spiritual energy within a practitioner's body expanded into something as vast as the ocean—endless, inexhaustible.

At this stage, one could even connect with the world itself, summoning the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth.

This is why only those who had reached Ocean's Gate could summon their Sacred Form, unleashing powers capable of moving mountains and shaking the heavens.

And because of this, despite the long and arduous journey, countless practitioners continued to strive toward this realm, undeterred.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully breaking through to the mid-stage of Ocean's Gate. You have received a system reward: a secret recipe.

Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

"A secret recipe?"

Timothy hadn't expected the system to be so thoughtful. It seemed to know he had been thinking about alchemy, and now it had gifted him a recipe.

"But what kind of recipe is it?"

Curious and a little excited, Timothy focused his mind and checked the reward in his spiritual sea.

The recipe was covered in a golden sheen, with a faint glow radiating from it. Its aura felt ancient, as if it had existed since the dawn of time.

Not only was it incredibly old, but it also exuded a faint, sacred energy.

What could be written on this recipe to warrant such grandeur?

With a flash of brilliant light, Timothy opened the recipe.

And there it was…

[Heavenly-level Elixir—Dragon's Roar Virility Pill]

In an instant, Timothy remembered the Dragon's Roar Virility Pill that his wife had confiscated from him.

The Dragon's Roar Virility Pill was indeed powerful, but its rarity made it nearly impossible to find in the world.

"My man! My good man!"

Timothy was so moved he didn't know what to say. If the system had a physical form, he would've patted it on the back like a true brother.

Without wasting any time, Timothy set up his alchemy furnace and began crafting the Dragon's Roar Virility Pill.

He might not need it right now, but when it came to his goddess… well, it was only a matter of time before he'd need it!

"Huh? What's that smell?"

A strange fragrance once again filled the Sky Sanctuary.

After being repeatedly stunned by Timothy's miraculous ability to craft elixirs, everyone had become somewhat numb to the shock. Yet, a flicker of curiosity sparked once again.

This time, the aura of the elixir was just as potent as before, clearly indicating it was another high-grade creation. But there was something... odd about it.

Especially for...

While the ordinary disciples didn't seem to notice much, the High Priests felt a sudden jolt. Their bodies trembled slightly, and they were overcome with a sense of clarity and vigor, unlike anything they had experienced before.

Oscar, who had always struggled with self-doubt, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes. The frail, elderly appearance he once had seemed to vanish, replaced by a newfound energy and determination.

"Do you feel that? Something strange?"

"I feel like I've gotten ten years younger!"

"Ten? Feels more like a hundred!"

The elders exchanged bewildered glances, their shock quickly giving way to excitement. "What kind of elixir did that kid Timothy make this time?"

"No idea, but whatever it is, we have to get one. No matter the cost, I'm getting my hands on one of those!"

Their words were filled with a sense of renewal, and they couldn't hide their excitement.

"It's ready."

Timothy carefully removed the entire batch of freshly crafted Dragon's Roar Virility Pills from the furnace, storing the other elixirs he had made alongside them. There were about thirty or forty seventh-grade elixirs in total, with the most abundant being the Heavenly Snow Lotus Elixir—he had made twelve of those!

After packing up his alchemy furnace, Timothy flew back to the main hall with the elixirs in hand.

"Honey, I brought you some elixirs."

He placed seven pristine, snow-white Heavenly Snow Lotus Elixirs, which emitted a faint chill and delicate fragrance, into a wooden box and handed it to Sylvia.

Seeing the full set of twelve elixirs, Sylvia coughed lightly, clearly a bit embarrassed as she scolded him, "Seventh-grade elixirs are so precious, and instead of making something useful, you're crafting beauty elixirs? What's the point?"

"Isn't it obvious? Because you're more important to me than anything else." Timothy smiled warmly.

His words made Sylvia's breath catch for a moment, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.

"You smooth talker~"

Her tone, though laced with mock annoyance, couldn't hide the hint of shyness.

"Don't worry, I made other elixirs too."

Timothy reassured her, then began pulling out the rest of the elixirs one by one.

"This one's a Solar Blaze Elixir, this one's a Soul Purification Elixir, and here's a Crimson Flame Essence, and…"

Suddenly, Timothy quickly hid an elixir engraved with dragon patterns behind his back, pretending nothing had happened.

"What's that one?" Sylvia asked, tilting her head curiously. Timothy immediately shifted to block her view.

She tilted her head to the right, and Timothy swiftly turned his body to keep it hidden.

Her curious gaze couldn't quite catch what Timothy was trying to conceal.

"Not suitable for kids, not suitable for kids," Timothy muttered, coughing awkwardly.

Only the sound of Timothy's embarrassed coughs echoed through the hall.
