Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Tang Yue unleashed her full power, the air around her crackling with magic as she cast one attack after another. Each attack was imbued with a force that could level mountains. She didn't waste a moment, unleashing Inferno's Breath, a torrent of scorching flames that spiraled through the air, incinerating anything in its path.

The golden lion roared in defiance, pulling out its defensive move but it was immediately struck by the Wyrm's Wrath, a shockwave of pure draconic energy that collided with its majestic form, sending it skidding backward. Before the lion could recover, Tang Yue followed with Emberclaw Torrent, fiery talons of magic that tore through the air and raked across the beast's flank.

The lion, now bleeding from multiple gashes, struggled to regain its footing, its once regal mane now singed and tattered. But Tang Yue wasn't done. She summoned Twilight Wingstrike, a burst of shadowy wings that materialized behind her, and with a single sweep, she sent the lion crashing into the ground with a force that shook the very earth beneath them.

The lion coughed, golden blood seeping from its mouth as it tried to stand. Tang Yue's eyes blazed with draconic fury. The lion's breath came in ragged gasps, yet its pride was still intact. "You... are powerful... for a mortal," it growled, its voice filled with both respect and defiance.

"But you underestimate this place. You will not leave here alive."

Tang Yue stepped forward, her eyes cold and determined. "Perhaps," she admitted, "but you will not be the one to stop me."

With that, she unleashed Serpentine Lash, a whip of magical energy that coiled around the lion's neck, dragging it closer to her. The lion's defiance faded as it felt the constriction tighten. It simply did not have the power to withstand anymore and the light in its eyes quietly faded.

Tang Yue activated another one of her newly acquired skills. Draconic Transformation. Her body instantly became several times bigger and her features morphed, her human form giving way to something far more formidable.

Scales as black as obsidian rippled across her skin, shimmering in the dim light of the Forbidden Zone. Her limbs elongated and grew powerful, her hands transforming into razor-sharp claws that could tear through steel as if it were paper.

A pair of massive, bat-like wings erupted from her back, their span wide enough to darken the ground beneath her. Her head elongated, and a crown of jagged horns sprouted from her skull as her eyes glowed with a fierce, molten gold.

With her draconic jaw wide open, she then bit down on the lion lying dead in front of her. Though she preferred being in her original form, this version of hers helped quite a bit in speeding things up. Before the essence of the lion drifted away, she gobbled up the whole beast from top to bottom, leaving nothing behind.

It looked like the lion was primarily a solar magic beast even though it never got to exhibit any of its offensive moves. It wasn't all that strong but Tang Yue still ended up assimilating something from the beast, a few power-ups to some of her older skills.

Just as she was assessing her gains, suddenly a few more beastial roars emerged from the dense wilderness. More powerful beasts stepped out of the darkness one after the other.

Clearly, these beasts had already witnessed the fight that had just now transpired. They were intelligent creatures and knew they were dealing with someone formidable. Without hesitation they started attacking Tang Yue altogether.

The first to strike was a colossal bear with obsidian fur and eyes like glowing embers. It charged at her with a speed that belied its size, its claws carving deep furrows into the earth as it closed the distance. Beside it, a massive serpent, its scales shimmering like polished steel, slithered through the underbrush, its eyes gleaming with malevolent intelligence.

Flanking them, a monstrous, winged beast resembling a vulture with razor-sharp talons dove down from above, its screech piercing the air.

"Small fries!" Tang Yue smirked. She turned to face them, her massive draconic form looming over the clearing. With a thunderous roar, she unleashed a modified version of draconic wrath that made the very fabric of the space groan and crack.

Power rippled outward from her, distorting the air with the sheer intensity of her magic. The force of her draconic energy was enough to warp the environment, the trees around her wilting and burning under the weight of her presence. The ground trembled as though it were alive, and the atmosphere thickened with mana so dense that it was almost suffocating.

One by one the beasts prostrated on the ground unable to withstand the pressure. However, that did not save them. Tang Yue descended on them mercilessly ripping them apart, leaving nothing behind. Their well-honed defenses were no match for her. Within a few seconds the first batch of beasts that had sniffed out the conflict and stepped forward were completely wiped out.

More came forward with each kill, each beast staggeringly more powerful than the previous one, but Tang Yue only smirked. She had not touched her limit yet and these beasts were also not the true kings of this land.

A bloodbath of unimaginable proportions ensued resulting in the slaughtering of the many beasts that had claimed the forbidden lands as their home for decades. These beasts were powerful enough to rule over kingdoms and empires if they stepped outside of this area, but unfortunately for them, today they were being massacred as if they were merely chickens and rabbits.

The bloodbath continued until finally no more beasts dared to emerge from the shadows. The entire land was marred with destruction and chaos. A huge spatial tear lay in the middle of the crater that had formed.

Amidst all the carnage a single snake alone sat down to assimilate everything that she had devoured. This was just the beginning. When she was done, the entire forbidden lands would be completely plundered.
