Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"Their bond of fate is completely intact!"

Even Solara, who had been so sure of herself, couldn't believe it. Faced with the overwhelming storm of lightning, she had thought even she might not make it out unscathed.

But these two—without using any spiritual power at all—had managed to withstand the ten bolts of lightning from the Thunderbird's shadow, relying solely on their bond of fate!

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable!

"Could this be why the ancestors didn't hesitate to send down all ten Thunderbirds?" Solara's gaze finally turned serious.

She had never thought anyone could claim the Celestial Feathered Gown, but now, for the first time, she felt a flicker of doubt.

"Maybe… it's actually possible?"

Looking at Timothy and Sylvia, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

"Whoo~"

At the same time, the massive golden phoenix ignited in roaring flames.

Winds howled and swirled, twisting the very space around them. The thunder grew louder, and within the distorted space, enormous shadows began to emerge.

Amidst the blazing fire, a crimson Fire Phoenix spread its wings and let out a piercing cry.

Then, with a chilling aura, an Ice Phoenix followed, its wings covered in frost.

And that wasn't all…

A Steel Phoenix forged from metal, a Water Phoenix formed from flowing streams, and a Rock Phoenix with a body of solid stone…

Each phoenix had a different form and element, but every one of them radiated an ancient and powerful energy.

In ancient times, many of the phoenix ancestors had their own unique attributes. But as their bloodlines weakened over the ages, most phoenixes lost these traits, eventually evolving into the pale, white Pale Phoenix we know today.

Yet these shadows seemed to pull time back to the ancient era.

Though they were only shadows, each phoenix carried a power that seemed no less formidable than their ancient counterparts!

Watching this scene unfold, both Solara and the other members of the Pale Phoenix clan felt their breath catch in their throats.

"So… this is the final test set by the ancestors."

Solara remained silent for a long time, but inside, her emotions surged like waves crashing against the shore.

She knew very well that these ancient phoenix shadows were likely the last trial.

If Timothy and Sylvia could withstand this, they might just claim the Celestial Feathered Gown, a treasure that hadn't been seen in millennia.

The crimson bond of fate between them gently floated in the air, swaying lightly in the wind.

Amidst this overwhelming scene, Timothy simply turned his head and asked softly, "So, how are you feeling, babe? Think we got this?"

"What do you think?" Sylvia smiled faintly, lifting her head, her beauty like something out of a painting.

Her clear eyes gazed up at the sky, showing not a hint of fear.

Likewise, the bond of fate connecting the two of them seemed completely unshaken.

"Alright then, let's do this. I'm curious to see just how tough the Phoenix Clan's secret trial really is."

Without a word, Timothy and Sylvia both withdrew their spiritual power, not using even a trace of it.

Instead, they let the bond of fate slowly rise into the air, standing tall against the heavens and earth.

Sensing their fearless challenge, the phoenix shadows finally began to move.

"Roar!"

Like a wild beast's cry, a massive wave of fire surged down from the sky.

The Fire Phoenix led the charge, diving from the heavens.

Like a falling star, it blazed with intense light, and the scorching heat seemed ready to consume everything in its path.

In an instant, the flames engulfed the bond of fate.

The bond didn't break, but it caught fire.

At the same time, the other phoenix shadows began to move.

The deep blue of the Ice Phoenix, the pale purple of the Thunderbird…

One by one, the phoenix shadows followed the Fire Phoenix, each glowing with its own unique light.

At the center of the Fire Phoenix, the other phoenixes soared swiftly, shifting positions in a mesmerizing dance.

The swirling lights in the sky began to merge, forming a radiant, seven-colored halo.

As the power within the halo surged, even the heavens themselves seemed to shift under its influence.

"Boom!"

The dark clouds, which had been brewing for so long, finally unleashed their pent-up energy. From the vortex-like gap in the center of the clouds, a massive bolt of lightning, thick as a pillar, struck down.

The lightning crashed directly into the center of the seven-colored halo.

As if triggered by the strike, the power of the halo erupted in a brilliant explosion.

"Boom!"

The deafening sound forced many of the Pale Phoenixes to hurriedly seal their hearing with spiritual energy.

A towering beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing through the heavens.

On the other end, it crashed down like a tidal wave, sweeping across the land.

Its target? The bond of fate between Timothy and Sylvia.

"What… what is that?!"

Even Solara's face paled at this moment. She had never imagined that the power summoned by the ancestors would suddenly reach such terrifying levels.

Compared to this overwhelming force, the bond of fate between Timothy and Sylvia, though seemingly strong, now appeared small and fragile.

But…

For some reason, a spark of hope ignited in Solara's heart, a feeling she had never experienced before.

"Come on…"

Her clear eyes shimmered as she unconsciously clenched her fists.

For the first time, Solara felt a glimmer of hope, and she didn't want to see this rare chance—the only hope that had emerged—be completely destroyed.

As she turned her head, she realized something.

It wasn't just her. The other Pale Phoenix clan members were also watching anxiously, their eyes filled with anticipation, as if silently cheering for the two.

Though the trial wasn't over yet, the pure and unwavering love between Timothy and Sylvia had already begun to change the hearts of many in the Pale Phoenix clan.

The trial set by the Phoenix ancestors was beyond their control, but the clan members, without any prior agreement, spread their wings and did their best to shield the couple from the violent winds howling between heaven and earth.

Finally, the lightning struck.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion erupted, sending shockwaves through the air. The dazzling light illuminated the entire sky, turning night into day.

No one could see what had happened, but everyone could feel the terrifying power contained in that strike.

"Is… is it over?"

It wasn't until a long time later that the howling winds began to calm down.

However, the spot where Timothy and Sylvia had stood was still shrouded in light, making it impossible to see what had become of them.

The entire Phoenix Clan's secret realm fell into a dead silence. The fate of the two remained unknown.

"What happened to them? Could they have…" Solara's face showed a mix of shock and worry, her mind already racing to the worst possible outcome.

Unable to see the center of the explosion, she could only look up at the sky.

But in that moment, Solara's eyes widened in surprise.

She clearly saw the golden phoenix shadow of the Phoenix Ancestor scanning the vast land below, and then, to her astonishment, it nodded in approval.

The golden phoenix shadow slowly dissolved into particles of light, fading away.

At the same time, Solara felt something unbelievable happening to her.

She was transforming, uncontrollably, back into her true phoenix form.

The vibrant, multicolored feathers on her body began to float gently into the air!
