Chapter 396: An Empress Needs To Dominate Part1
She was still stuck at the second trial and hadn\'t been able to progress beyond that. The five pillars really had her in a bind that she was unable to break free from.
"Hmmm… So each pillar emits an elemental essence apart from the violent and oppressive aura and pressure."
"The five different pillars represent the five elements of nature and I have to attain the blessings of the five pillars."
"Arghh… What am I missing?" Tang Yue kicked the wall in anger.
She had tried everything by now and both her condensed mana seeds were perfectly attuned to two pillars out of the five pillars, but still, she was unable to progress further and was kicked out every single time.
"What am I missing?" Tang Yue was really at the end of her wits.
If she attained a perfect connection with two pillars and was still unable to get through, then it could only mean that it had something to do with the other pillars.
But this was also Tang Yue\'s biggest problem as she didn\'t even possess an affinity to the other pillars.
So she would never be able to form a connection with them and so she was unable to test out how to successfully pass this trial.
But at this point, she really did not have any other choice except to go all in.
"Old man, I am going to gain affinity to all the elementals." Tang Yue muttered solemnly.
"Are you sure, little snake? I should warn you. Your path ahead will be that much more immensely difficult."
"Yes. I am sure." Tang Yue nodded. This was why she had also hesitated for so long, but now it looked like she did not have any other options.
Tang Yue took a deep breath and rummaged her spatial ring, taking out a bunch of greenish thin sticks. But if one looked closely, these sticks had some amount of meat attached to it.
"Slimy Green Mantis, a high-grade beast with a decent affinity to the wind elemental. Hmm… This will do." Twisting her lips at the spiky thin sticks, Tang Yue took out a few more broken parts, bundling up meat belonging to several mantis beasts.
Since she had looted everything that the dragon had amassed, she now had no shortage in whatever beast meat she needed.
Staring at the painting on the wall which was a spitting image of her, she started slowly chewing the green meat sticks one by one. She sucked all the juices and the meat dry before picking up another one.
Ding. 100% Slimy Green Mantis bloodline absorbed
Ding. Bloodline Evolution has been initiated
A few seconds later, Tang Yue\'s body twisted and turned before she settled back in a coil on the ground.
Ding. Congratulations. Bloodline Evolution completed.
Ding. Congratulations. 5000 Experience points have been rewarded.
Ding. Congratulations. New Skill obtained.
Ding. [Higher Wind affinity] – Passive skill; Able to manipulate mana into high-grade wind.
Hmmm… Tang Yue hummed in satisfaction and then immediately rummaged the spatial ring once again to take out another chunk of flesh.
"Spiral Horned Bald Eagle. Another high-grade beast with affinity to the lightning elemental." Standing beside Tang Yue, the old man\'s ghost sucked in a big breath of cold dusty air of the palace.
He had seen this power being used plenty of times now, both while he was alive and now when he was dead, but still, sometimes he had difficulty in digesting its existence.
Such an unholy power was no less than terrifying and nightmarish to others!
"When a life threatening the very balance of the world comes to existence, sometimes fate itself bends and skews to correct the anomaly." He absentmindedly muttered, gazing at Tang Yue\'s figure which was only again evolving, taking a step closer to perfection, every time she did so.
"Your ancestor was not able to survive the tribulations of the fate… how will you fare… little snake…"
"Did you say something?" Tang Yue licked her lips gazing at the new affinity that she had gained from gobbling down the eagles.
"No. Nothing." The old man shook his head.
"Hmm… Alright… I will be heading into the trail once again. Cultivating there should be much easier."
Tang Yue pulled up her status screen and looked at the list of her skills again.
[Lesser Evolution] – Passive skill, Able to constantly improve and upgrade the body by absorbing bloodlines; Only 50% bloodline is required for triggering evolution.
[Bloodline Gorger] – Passive skill, Able to absorb bloodlines from meat very efficiently.
[Higher Earth affinity] – Passive skill; Able to manipulate mana into high-grade earth.

[Higher Lightning affinity] – Passive skill; Able to manipulate mana into high-grade lightning.
[Lesser Ice affinity] – Passive skill, Able to manipulate mana into low-grade ice.
[Greater Illusion Magic] – Passive skill; Able to cast illusionary spells; Able to cast spells ignoring the cultivation base of the target up to two realms.
…
…
…
"Eh? Everything is high-grade except for ice elemental?" Tang Yue rubbed her chin, not satisfied with the results just yet.
Though she had managed to gain affinities to all elementals, the fact that one was weaker than all the others itched her brain.
"On second thought… let me eat some more beasts before entering the trail…"
While it was almost impossible for others to gain an elemental affinity that they were not born with, in the span of a single day, Tang Yue had almost managed to perfectly attune her body to all the elementals.
The old man could only bitterly smile as he watched the snake rummage her spatial ring once again.
Even though he had warned her against it, she still stubbornly picked this arduous path.
Will she really be able to pass the trials using this method? He sighed in deep thought.
