Chapter 415 Scraping for the last bits

Tang Yue lifted her crimson eyes and looked at the dragon. Would it perhaps give her the last 1% that she required?

She shook her head and chuckled to herself, ignoring the beast that was about to go crazy. All its eggs were destroyed right in front of its eyes and the monster was livid.

It no longer even bothered to shout out threats and silently disappeared into the depths of the island after giving her one last threatening look.

"I really need to hurry. I can\'t afford to lose this fight." Tang Yue\'s long forked tongue slithered in and out as her gaze wandered and landed on the eggshells near her feet.

Could these possibly give her the last 1% that she needed?

Her crimson eyes instantly brightened up.

That was it. Now she had everything that she needed. She quickly used wisps of wind to pick up all the eggshells and crunched them down like snacks.

5 seconds… 10 seconds… 1 minute…

Her heart raced as she waited for the notifications to show up.

And then they did… one after one bloodline notifications poured out…

Ding. 0.9% Crimson Wyrm bloodline absorbed

Ding. 0.95% Nether Drake bloodline absorbed

Ding. 0.89% Storm Hydra bloodline absorbed

Ding. 0.7% Twilight Wyrm bloodline absorbed

…

…

…

Tang Yue scoured through all the messages one after the other hoping that at least one of them would be up by 1%. However, the last 0.01% still seemed to be eluding her.

"Arghhhhh! DAMN IT!" This time she was truly out of options. It was not like she could step out of the palace and hunt for more beasts to make up for that last 0.01%.

And without a draconian bloodline, how was she ever going to be strong enough to tackle that monstrosity?

It was the most direct and simplest answer to all her problems and it was just 0.01% away! Would it have killed that dragon to lay one more egg?!

BANG! THUD! CLATTER!

In a fit of anger and frustration, she barged back into the palace and started rummaging through anything and everything that she could find.

"If you destroy the palace, I don\'t think the formation will hold up." The ghost warned her.

Tang Yue glared at him angrily. "Old man, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, this is your chance to speak up!"

"Otherwise, everything here is going to be blasted to smithereens really soon. You understand that right?"

The ghost, however, only sighed with a wry chuckle. "We can only try and alter fate so much, little snake. Some things probably were best left…"

"Useless!" Tang Yue hissed at the old man who was now saying utterly random things. She no longer paid attention to him.

What he said didn\'t make any sense, but it made her think of something else.

When she had first begun collecting bloodlines, some of the lower level beasts had a certain amount of rare bloodlines. It was extremely low but one or two beasts still had some.

She might not have any rare beasts in her possession at the moment, but she had plenty of these low grade beasts.

Considering that she now needed only 0.01% of the bloodline…

Tang Yue hissed pensively. "Ok. This should work. This will work. This has to work." She quickly sat down on the marble floor and started taking out the several beasts one after the other.

She also called over Eleana and asked her to gather whatever beasts everyone had, including food reserves and every single backup meal.

As they all could use mana it wasn\'t absolutely essential that they had to eat for every meal.

They could last for a long time without any food or nutrition. The mana in the air alone was enough for survival.

Besides, if they didn\'t get out of here, then there was no future for any of them. So being without food for a few months was nothing in comparison to that.

After she finished gathering everything, Tang Yue once again started feasting.

This time she was really trying to find a needle in the haystack, blindly hoping that she would stumble upon one of the higher level bloodlines that could truly push her to her limits.

She only needed one. She just needed that last tiny push to break through the last bit of shackle that was holding her back.

Tang Yue fervently devoured every single beast at her disposal. She was truly desperate.

The great empress had left behind a legacy for her to grow. However, there was also a damned dragon at the doorstep.

If she had known about this before, she would have at least come here after hunting every single beast that she could, but there was no point in thinking about spilled elixir.

She has to come out of the obstacles that were in front of her right here and now.

Tang Yue silently meditated as she consumed one beast after another. Soon… days went by… weeks went by… almost an entire lunar cycle went by…

…

…

…

"Ah… its been so long… when will I be able to see the Empress again?" Selena pouted, pacing back and forth on the trial grounds.

Tang Yue had already given permission to them so a lot of the snakes attempted the trial grounds to test their limits. The place had become extremely lively.

Jin Nuhen scoffed at the vulgar snake. Her behavior and attitude were only becoming worse and worse ever since she obtained some recognition from the Empress.

"Perhaps she is hiding because you are stalking her. Hmph."

The two began to bicker and fight with each other as usual but they became silent when the sound of wind whooshing was heard.

An elegant and graceful figure landed, folding her vibrant wings as she did.

There was an archaic air about her and her serene eyes scanned the room once, instantly freezing everyone before settling on the center of the room, the exit for the training ground.

In the midst of the dozen snakes, the single harpy stood still with a solemn expression on her face.
