47: Chapter 47 Holy crap? What are you eating?!

Xia Youchu felt their gazes, turned back to glance at them, and a look of disdain curled the corners of her lips.

"Idiots."

"Do you really think this Dragon Ascending Ladder can be climbed just by relying on brute force?"

In her past life, after reaching the summit, she had obtained a movement secret technique called the "True Dragon Roam," which had miraculous effects in neutralizing Dragon power.

Although her cultivation was currently low and she could not fully execute it, some basic energy-channeling methods and breathing rhythms were enough to give her a massive advantage here!

She stopped paying attention to the Violent Bear and Shadow Snake and continued to climb steadily upward.

Tenth step... fifteenth step... twentieth step...

The Dragon power was becoming heavier and heavier, like tangible seawater, pressing in from all directions.

Xia Youchu's speed slowed down, and sweat beads seeped from her forehead, but her steps remained steady.

Conversely, after ascending to the tenth step, Shadow Snake and the Violent Bear already appeared quite strained.

Every step up required mobilizing a large amount of Yuan energy to resist that increasingly terrifying Dragon power.

"No! We cannot let her get too far ahead!"

Shadow Snake's eyes turned fierce.

Although he did not know why Xia Youchu was so fast, he knew that he absolutely could not let the True Dragon Inheritance fall into her hands!

"I'm going to stop her!"

He said this to the Violent Bear, then took a deep breath, desperately drove his Yuan energy, and squeezed towards the position where Xia Youchu was.

"Since I can't attack you directly, I'll just use my body to block your path!"

Every step taken on this Dragon Ascending Ladder was extremely difficult; if one party intentionally blocked the way, the other would indeed find it hard to cross unless they used speed far exceeding the opponent to force their way through.

Shadow Snake had this idea in mind, risked his life, and finally managed to catch up to a point slightly ahead of Xia Youchu at the twenty-fifth step.

He immediately moved laterally, attempting to block Xia Youchu's route of advance.

"Little girl, this path is closed!"

A smug, cold sneer appeared on his face.

Xia Youchu looked at Shadow Snake blocking her path, her eyes ice-cold.

"A good dog doesn't block the road!"

The footwork under her feet changed abruptly; her figure became like a swimming Dragon, twisting lightly along an extremely mysterious trajectory.

True Dragon Roam: Dragon Tail Whip!

Swish!

A Dragon shadow flashed around Xia Youchu, and at an incredible angle, she instantly bypassed Shadow Snake!

Shadow Snake only felt his vision blur, and Xia Youchu had already appeared behind him, stepping onto the twenty-sixth step without any hesitation!

"What?!"

Shadow Snake was both shocked and angry, wanting to turn around and chase, but being within the powerful Dragon power, even turning around became extremely difficult.

Moreover, having consumed a massive amount of energy to forcefully block Xia Youchu, his mind was now agitated, and his breath became chaotic!

Boom!

That suddenly increasing Dragon power slammed into him like a giant hammer!

He let out a muffled groan, his face turned pale, and he nearly tumbled directly off the stairs!

Having finally stabilized his figure, he realized the gap between him and Xia Youchu had widened from a few steps to a full three steps!

And Xia Youchu was still rising steadily!

He had completely lost the chance to block her!

"Useless trash!"

The Violent Bear behind saw this scene and cursed in anger.

Shadow Snake's face turned livid, his heart filled with shock and rage.

This girl's movement technique is too eerie!

Xia Youchu turned back, looked down at Shadow Snake from above, her gaze indifferent.

"With only this much ability, you think you're qualified to stop me?"

She did not linger and continued to climb upward.

Twenty-eighth step... thirtieth step... thirty-fifth step...

By this point, the Dragon power was already as heavy as a mountain.

Every step Xia Youchu took made her feel her bones creaking.

She had to fully circulate the "Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art" and the "True Dragon Roam" just to barely resist it.

"Hmph, if it weren't for this rigid True Dragon Will requiring one to climb the ladder step by step, I, the Emperor, would have already gone straight to take the core Legacy using the memories of my past life; why would I need to waste time here!"

She felt a bit irritable in her heart.

However, the advantage was still on her side.

Those two villains had already been left behind by her.

As for that idiot...

Xia Youchu suddenly felt as if she had forgotten something.

"That's right, where is the idiot?"

Wasn't that guy also climbing the steps?

With his thick-skinned defensive power, even if his speed was slow, there should at least be some movement, right?

Could it be... he's so trashy that he can't even climb the tenth step?

Xia Youchu furrowed her brows, stopped, and looked back down.

She first saw Shadow Snake and the Violent Bear struggling on the twenty-something steps.

Then her gaze continued to move downward.

Fifteenth step... tenth step... fifth step... none of them were there.

Finally, her gaze fixed on the starting point of the Dragon Ascending Ladder.

The first step.

There, Ling Tian's massive, three-meter-tall body was not struggling to climb upward like the others.

He was lying on those bronze stairs, his bloody maw wide open, fiercely gnawing on the stairs with "crunch, crunch" sounds!

"What the hell?!"

He was actually... eating the Dragon Ascending Ladder?!
