Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

An entire week passed quietly, but on the tenth day, a loud bang resounded, making almost the colossal palace shake slightly. 

Tang Yue's body flung across the palatial chamber and hit the wall, shattering everything on impact.

Everyone was shocked and Jin Nuhen, Selena, and Eleana immediately rushed to see what was happening. When they arrived, Tang Yue was standing up, groaning in pain.

Her hair was disheveled and blood was seeping from the corner of her lips. She looked up and saw the worried faces but she quickly dismissed them. "Leave now."

Only the ghost remained beside her. "Yet another failure?"

"Yes, Master." Tang Yue sighed. She swiped the status screen and looked at all the skills she had gained by consuming the several Emperor beasts of the island.

Each one was more powerful than the previous one and yet she was unable to completely settle her cultivation base and pass the second phase of the trial.

She felt as if she was very close and yet at the same time, she was extremely far. "Damn it. What more can I do?"

Tang Yue looked at the ghost and she knew that the old man was about to say 'I told you so' so she turned away from him.

She thought that consuming the Emperor beasts of the island would be enough to get her to the next level but it looked like that was no longer happening.

She needed something more and Tang Yue was not a fool. She already had an idea of what that extra something that she needed was.

The only problem was… the minute she did that… the enemy circling around her would only get further enraged and the sands in the clock would start falling sooner.

But she was already at a point where there was no turning back, so she didn't hesitate much longer. Letting out a deep breath, she reached inside her spatial pearl and took out something.

The ghost standing near her instantly gasped. If anyone else was there around her, they would have given her, the same expression as well… after all… the thing in Tang Yue's hands was…

Dragon eggs!

"Yue, you aren't!"

"Of course. I am!" Tang Yue smirked.

Dragon eggs were precious treasures for various reasons. 

They could be powerful tamed companions. Precious raw materials for concocting heaven-grade elixirs. Inscription inks for casting unbreakable spells. 

However, to use them as food…

The old man gulped but Tang Yue lifted her hand and used a blade of electrified wind blast to break the shell apart. 

She then nonchalantly opened the two halves and drank the egg as if she was simply having a firebird's egg for dinner.

Since it was simply an egg, its digestion as well didn't take too long and Tang Yue's body instantly absorbed the nutritious liquid as if it had been starved all this while.

Ding. 1.25% Crimson Wyrm bloodline absorbed

Ding. 1.25% Nether Drake bloodline absorbed

Ding. 1.25% Storm Hydra bloodline absorbed

…

…

…

…

…

The notifications rang loudly for a while before they stopped including several members of the draconic species. Even Tang Yue herself was surprised. "This…" She hissed looking at the elder.

"Little snake! I mean, your highness, you consumed the dragon's egg without knowing this?" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What are you talking about?" Tang Yue continued eying the several bloodlines that she had now absorbed.

"Your highness, one of the reasons why dragon eggs are popular is because of the fact that their egg contains infinite potential."

"Their bloodline only solidifies on birth and that's why it takes a long time for a draconian egg to hatch."

"Oh." Tang Yue's crimson eyes sparkled as she flickered her tongue in and out. She didn't know that but it was a good surprise.

Almost at the same time, a heaven shattering sound reverberated on the other side of the island. ROARRRRR!

Hmm… Tang Yue casually walked out of the palace but stood at the edge of the spell formation. The giant dragon flapped its two metallic humongous wings in a frenzy as if it had gone crazy.

Its eyes were crazed and maddened with anger and it kept ramming at the spell formation around the palace repeatedly.

"YOU!"

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"

"I WILL KILL YOU, YOU FILTHY SNAKE!"

"I WILL KILL YOU IF THAT IS THE LAST THING THAT I AM DOING!"

Heh. Tang Yue snickered. "Didn't you pledge your undying allegiance to me just a few days ago? Have things changed now?"

The beast let out another roar as she was purposely taunting it. However, Tang Yue had another reason for doing this. 

She wanted to make sure that the dragon was enraged enough to try and exact revenge on its own rather than going to her other powerful enemies with its tail tucked behind its legs. 

It was a gamble but Tang Yue was sure that if she taunted it just enough, the possibility of that happening was extremely high, considering that the dragon was a proud beast in the first place.

Looking the huge ferocious beast directly into its eyes, she placed the shells of the first egg down and took out the second egg.

Crack!

Another one smoothly went down her throat and she licked her lips with a smile. "I must say. Dragon eggs are really the most exquisite thing I have ever tasted."

"I WILL KILL YOU!"

"I WILL KILL YOU!"

"MARK MY WORDS!!! ROARRRR!"

The dragon's eyes gleamed with unbridled fury and it rammed against the barrier again and again and again.

Tang Yue, however, clenched her fists to calm herself down and continued downing the eggs one by one. Though she was putting on an act for the beast, she was also concerned about something else.

She only needed 10% of the bloodline to successfully evolve and consuming each egg was giving her about 1.25% of various bloodlines.

Unfortunately, she was still one egg short as there were only 7 eggs in total.
