Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 385: Hanging by a thread Part4

As the first trial continued with no end in sight, Tang Yue zoned in and out of her severed mental state a few hundred times.

She eventually lost track of even how much time had passed in the slow and arduous trial.

But since she had cracked the important key to surviving in this trail, Tang Yue kept persisting, not worrying about anything else.

Every time she managed to free herself from the pain, she lasted in that relaxing mental state for a second longer than she had done previously.

So apart from her physical attributes, her mind was also slowly being chiseled under the pressure and she could feel her strength growing by leaps and bounds.

After what felt like an eternity, Tang Yue suddenly no longer felt the pressure from the five vibrating pillars.

In fact, the feeling that she got now was one of pure warmth and rejuvenation. It was as if Charlotte was massaging her body with her favorite herbal mixture.

Hmmm? Tang Yue flashed her eyes open wondering if the trial had concluded and the pillars had stopped vibrating.

“What the hell?” She hissed in surprise. The desert in front of her was still there, with the five pillars still vibrating and sending out auras.

The difference was that she no longer felt overwhelmed by the pressure they exuded.

She also no longer had her face, buried in the ground. She was now sitting in a comfortable meditative pose. 

Tang Yue chuckled, not knowing when she even changed positions. She then stood up and looked around, observing the things around her.

But nothing had changed and she was still in the vast desert with the single river running wildly in front of her.

She did not know where the river originated from and where it might end. She could see no end in sight.

Her gaze then shifted to look at the five pillars standing erect in the river. They were trembling and vibrating visibly.

Tang Yue nodded her head and started walking closer to these pillars in order to examine them when a series of notifications chimed in her ears.

Ding. Congratulations. Body tempering successful.

Ding. Congratulations. Strength, Stamina and Defense have been upgraded

Ding. Congratulations. Body constitution has been upgraded to Bronze-tier Demi-God Body

Ding. 500000 Experience Points have been rewarded.

Ding. Congratulations. Mental tempering successful.

Ding. Congratulations. Mental constitution has been upgraded to Bronze-tier Demi-God Mind

Ding. 500000 Experience Points have been rewarded.

Tang Yue couldn’t help but gasp in surprise. The trial had been inhumane but the rewards were equally excellent.

She was now an almost complete Demi-God, someone equal to Xander in strength and power. Only her cultivation lacked and was still in the Saint realm.

“Hmmm… Not bad.” She licked her lips and walked forward. 

As she tried to get closer to the pillars, the pressure and the oppressive aura once again started increasing.

But all Tang Yue needed to do was wait for a couple of minutes to get accustomed to it and then she could proceed forward without getting affected by the pressure.

“Hmmm… So this test to simply weed out non Demi-God candidates?” She wondered. 

However, she remembered the things that the old man had told her about the trial and she didn’t think that the criteria would be that simple.

It was probably designed so that no matter what level they were, they would need to break through to the next level in order to pass the trial, giving the younger generations more advantages than the older ones.

Suddenly Tang Yue felt grateful that she attempted this test when she was in the Saint realm. 

She really couldn’t imagine if she would have succeeded if the trial had tested her in the Demi-God realm.

Reaching the state of a Deity from Demi-God was unlike anything else and Tang Yue knew it was much more complex than the earlier levels.

It not only involved tempering one’s body, resolve, mind and soul but it also involved gaining insights.

She shook her head, deciding to worry about that later and focus on the trial in front of her first.

Tang Yue took her time and steadily walked over closer and closer to the pillars, slowly adjusting to the pressure in the air around her.

When she touched the banks of the river, she almost fell back stumbling as the pressure there was the highest she had experienced.

She was tumbled and blown backward about a dozen times before she was finally able to place her feet in the river water, which instantly shot waves of pleasure in her tired and spent body.

Tang Yue’s emerald eyes gleamed and glittered in shock. “This… This…” She muttered with her lips trembling.

The flowing river that she was standing on was actually not a normal river made of water. 

It was rather freely flowing mana in liquid form if it could even be considered that.

It was more like dense thick wisps of mana, so dense that they started resembling liquid water.

Tang Yue stood perplexed in the mana river, trying to take in the feeling that swirled around her legs.

She then gulped and took a couple of steps forward to completely drench herself in the mana river.

Tang Yue dipped her head inside and found that she could freely breathe even with her head completely submerged.

The thick energy permeated her body and filled her pores as if she had been starving for her centuries with a torturous thirst for water that had suddenly been quenched.

She twisted and turned her body having felt never better. She then looked in the direction of the five pillars and swam towards them to reach the dead center.

This was easier than she expected and she quickly reached the center. 

“What is the second trial?” Tang Yue pondered as she stared at the five pillars, when suddenly the same voice she had heard before, her own voice boomed again.

“Attain the blessings of the five pillars of comprehension.”
