Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Tang Yue did not think twice and quickly yelled. "One Lucky Sticker! Purchase and Activate!"

Immediately, a tangible wave of energy rippled through her body and a series of notifications popped out.

Ding. Congratulations! Attribute soul strength has been created.

Ding. Your soul strength is 20

Ding. Congratulations! Your soul strength has been consumed and one lucky sticker has been purchased at the cost of half of your soul strength.

Ding. Your current soul strength is 10

Ding. Congratulations! Lucky Sticker has been activated.

Ding. Congratulations! Little snake is blessed with heaven-defying luck for the next 5 minutes.

Tang Yue felt dizzy from the quick succession of messages.

Her brain was ringing from the sheer number of notifications.

"Damn it!" She cursed at her miserable soul strength, which had been instantly halved.

She really didn't want to use this stupid scam of a shop feature and the damned lucky sticker.

But what else could she do? She was inexplicably cornered without any other means of escape!

Why was a mid-grade beast even in this part of the forest? Nothing made sense anymore!

Tang Yue gritted her teeth and waited for something to happen… anything to happen…

The sticker was activated properly, wasn't it? Her heart quivered.

Her weak emerald eyes directly stared at the thundering humongous beast, which might as well be the God of death!

1 second… 2 seconds… 3 seconds… Nothing happened yet…

The terrifying Golden Titan Ape banged both of its thick tree trunk sized arms on the ground right next to Tang Yue, just narrowly missing her.

This single action sent tremors across the ground and Tang Yue was flung across like a dust particle, her fragile serpentine body crashing against the cave's sturdy rocks.

But she still hadn't escaped her imminent death.

The ape probably recognized that she was a spirit beast and not a common-grade snake.

The beast's deadly eyes followed the trajectory of her small body and the beast venomously lowered its head closer and closer towards the wounded snake, fully prepared to directly swallow the small spirit beast in one insignificant gulp.

Tang Yue was barely conscious. "Is this the end? Was the damned lucky sticker a scam?"

She closed her eyes in pain, unable to move even an inch under the intense weight of the animal's death glare.

Her pathetic life flashed slowly before her eyes.

She had only just gotten her second chance but it was already…

KA RA KA BOOM

Suddenly, before the snake could even finish her thought, a heavy deafening thunder reverberated in her ears and throughout the entire forest.

What just happened? With much effort, Tang Yue opened her trembling eyes slightly.

Even the humungous ape in front of her looked confused. It removed its frightening orbs that were fixated on Tang Yue and looked around in puzzlement.

Its natural instinct could tell that something was about to happen, but it was unable to pinpoint the exact source of the danger.

And in the next instant…

BZZZZZT

A brilliant flash of lightning appeared out of nowhere.

The lightning was so powerful that it seemed as if it was tearing the sky apart into two halves.

And more importantly, the heavenly blasphemous lightning directly landed on the mid-grade ape, smack dab on its head.

The huge beast shuddered and shook and was thoroughly electrocuted.

Its body was entirely fried and both its eyes popped out lifelessly.

"This is definitely a tribulation lightning!" Tang Yue screamed. Her body was twitching in pain, as she forced herself to watch the events unfolding in front of her.

"Am I saved?" Tears rolled out of her half-dead eyes as she slightly tried moving her body.

Without the Golden Titan Ape's brutal oppressive killing intent, she was now able to slither slowly with much better ease, even though her entire body ached heavily from the injuries.

Tang Yue absent-mindedly inched closer and closer to the fallen corpse of the Golden Titan Ape and pocketed the damned thing into her space pearl as if it was a matter of habit.

The day was finally over!

And she was alive... all thanks to the mysterious system and the shop feature.

The snake bobbed its head up and down, still trying to digest the rapid unbelievable events that had just transpired.

She decided to head back to the Eldorian establishment, while the lucky sticker was still active.

She didn't want to miss this golden opportunity to reach the safety of the palace gates.

But little did she know that her troubles were still far from over!

What was tribulation lightning?

It was the lightning that occurred after the ominous thunder.

It was heaven's retribution for the birth of something that should not be allowed to exist.

Only the creation of a treasure that could challenge the pinnacle of existence in itself could attract the ire of the heavens.

How could such a huge phenomenon be unnoticed??

Millions and millions of eyes from all parts of the Xion world, beasts and men alike, gazed at the tribulation lightning with awe and amazement!

It had been decades since the last tribulation lightning had descended. That too something of this enormous scale was completely unheard of.

As far as everyone was concerned, a new heavenly treasure had surfaced and every single living being, may it be a powerful expert or a random commoner, wanted it desperately.

With such a priceless treasure in hand, it wouldn't be exaggerating to say that even a beggar could become an Emperor!

So obviously, the second the lightning had descended from the sky, numerous figures shot out of their location and headed towards the eastern forests with full speed.

And of course, that included the ones who were currently resting in the forest, closest to the lightning, and had also clearly seen it!

Within a matter of seconds, Charlotte, Marvin, Gale, Ginko, and every expert in the forest had gathered at the spot where the lightning had struck.

And better yet, more and more experts, including the Crown Prince and his Generals were on their way, dashing towards the forest at full speed.
