Profane Prince of Domination

While, unbeknown to the world, Blood Nether agreed to Konrad's contract and contacted her retainers, within the Sea Dream Temple's Cardinal Hall, the Acting Temple Lord swallowed her man's cock with rapt devotion. And as he enjoyed Rati's service, Konrad was amused to see that against all logic, Rati showcased practiced skills. Skills he didn't teach, yet recalled. Skills felt elsewhere, in a different time frame. When the realization settled within his mind, Konrad's smile broadened.

"I am about to lock myself in secluded cultivation, and don't plan to come out before one and a half months."

Konrad stated, and as if spurred by the words, Rati's pace shot up, with her head bobbing on Konrad's shaft at a blurry speed. Even as his cock stretched her throat, she neither gagged nor stopped, only going faster down on it until he released his spunk for her to swallow.

The burst of snow-white spunk filled every nook and cranny of Rati's mouth, bloating her cheeks as she released Konrad's cock to swallow his spunk. As the last drop slid down her throat, Rati stood up, straddled Konrad and held his cheeks within her hands.

"Knowing you, seclusion will definitely involve some dual cultivation, why not take me with you?"

Rati inquired in a gentle tone concealing a pleading note. However, Konrad shook his head.

"You are not a Devil and therefore can't make an optimal use of this time."

Konrad rejected in a firm, uncompromising tone.

"Is that how the elite of the Chthonian Realm call themselves? Isn't there a way for me to become one?"

Rati inquired, seemingly oblivious to the meaning of the Devil Road—as well as she should be. Inwardly though, Konrad sneered.

"Too soon. Though I'm curious. You don't even know what that implies, why are you so eager to embrace that road?"

Konrad probed with his beaming smile unchanged.

"Because it is your road, and I wish to be closer to you."

Rati directly replied, causing Konrad to arch his eyebrows.

"Even if that means becoming a fell creature?"

"So what? I'm a devi, not a saintess. You should reserve that kind of question for the Warden."

The brief exchange ended with Rati planting a kiss on Konrad's either side of Konrad's cheeks before lifting up her skirt, and guiding his rod into her moist cunt. A heated sex romp followed.

From beginning to end, Konrad didn't mention Rati's summary execution of Kama. There was no need to. Leaving her behind, Konrad returned to the Myriad Dreams Valley where Verena currently organized the new disciples in the three traditional zones: The Outer Court, the Inner Court, and the Core Zone.

Of the more than 84,000 new recruits, 71,800 joined the Outer Court, drinking from the Blood Fountain to become Chthonian Guards or Knights.

11,200 joined the Inner Court, drinking for its Blood Fountain to become Chthonian Generals. The remaining 2,100 recruits joined the Core Zone, drinking from its Blood Fountain to become Chthonian Lords. The Dao Heart based subdivision filled the new disciples with soaring battle spirits. At the same time, Konrad's 96,000 legionaries filled the various courts. 88,700 added to the Outer Court, 5,800 to the Inner Court and 1500 for the Core Zone. The twelve Dragon Dukes became elders, with Konrad's consorts serving as Valley Ladies.

The Myriad Dreams Valley now officially counted 150,000 disciples with more than 3 millions of Devil Puppets acting as servants. Along with new bloodlines, the new disciples obtained their Devil Seeds and completed Devil Conversion to become Heart Devils.

For the majority of them, such a strength leap was mind-boggling. However, when compared to their predecessors, they realized the gap between was outrageous. Right now, the weakest of Konrad's legionaries had reached the mid-stage of the Boundless Sea Devil Realm while the Dragon Dukes already reached the mid-stage of the Grand Devil Realm. Krann received the Great Elder title in absentia.

To say nothing of the Core Zone disciples who competed against Grand Devils, even those Outer Court disciples faced tremendous pressure. Fortunately, a plethora of Time Chambers existed within the Myriad Dreams Valley, with rich Devil Energies permeating the air.

Catching up was but a matter of diligence.

Although higher-level bloodlines naturally increased perception and the attunement to the world's forces, Konrad prepared batches of Soul-Clearing Pills for his new disciples which Verena distributed across the three courts - scaling the resources depending on rank.

Landing in the Core Zone, Konrad headed into the Administration Hall from which Verena handled all matters. Talking about Verena, her appearance had undergone slight changes, with her hair and eyes becoming a lustrous silver while her body bathed in the intricate mist of destiny.

Following her Transcendence, she built on her Konrad-bestowed blood to create her own bloodline, the Fate-Defying Immortal blood. In terms of strength, it surpassed Yvonne's current World Serpent blood. An interesting trait of that lineage's owners was that they would all be born with an outrageous amount of good luck, and could even control luck in battle.

Thinking about Verena's future opponents, Konrad couldn't help but release helpless sighs.

"Beautiful, I must say that you know beneath your stately exterior, you truly are a troll master."

Konrad sighed as he walked into the Administration Hall. Seeing him, Verena shifted her attention from the servants surrounding her and dismissed them with a hand gesture.

"That's natural. How dull would life be if we had to remain caged in austere elegance? Sometimes, we should just get dirty."

Verena replied while rising from her seat to step toward Konrad—dropping into his arms without a second thought.

"Well said."

Konrad approved while wrapping his arms around Verena's back and stroking her curls.

"For the next one and a half months, the Myriad Dreams Valley will go into Extreme Cultivation Mode. I will also go into seclusion and use all my recent gains to reach the highest strength possible. Naturally, I will also use this time to refine the Heaven Swallowing Pills, after which we will invade the Heaven Warding Temple to seize the sword."

Konrad paused, lifting his right hand to summon a Primal Sun Lotus.

"Your cultivation has now reached the mid-stage of the Grand Devil Realm. By refining this nine-star God-Medicine, you should be able to rise to the Prime Devil Realm. Unfortunately, your understanding of the Devil Road is still lacking. Go into seclusion to comprehend the mysteries, and use this lotus to break through."

Konrad instructed, and Verena let go of his back to grasp the lotus within her hands.

"Understood. However, there is no need for an invasion. In two months, driven by Blood Nether, the Warden will dispatch invitations to all within the Three Realms to try their luck at seizing or destroying the God Executing Immortal Sword. You can just join the fun.

Meanwhile, we shall keep troops on the outside, ready to slam them from in and out."

Verena replied, having already foreseen those events.
