Even if other king-level powerhouses ca here, they would not be able to do what Yang Chen just did—casually walking up the steps as if he were in his backyard.
The group of Dragon King Powerhouses certainly didn’t want Yang Chen to be able to co up.
If he had co up in normal strides, they might not have been bothered. But if he ca up like this, it would make them lose face.
At the sa ti, Mu Qing was watching from below, his eyes wide open and his mouth agape, shocked.
"I don’t believe this kid can still be so casual when he reaches ten thousand steps!" A few Dragon Kings exchanged glances with each other.
They communicated through Soul Transmission, without letting Golden Claw hear.
At ten thousand steps, the Soaring Dragon Steps took a turning point.
If a Five-clawed Golden Dragon reached ten thousand steps, its bloodline would awaken, and the following journey would be as if walking on flat ground. However, for other races or non-Five-clawed Golden Dragons, once they reached ten thousand steps, they would suddenly sense a steep increase in difficulty, even feeling as if it were a completely different world compared to before ten thousand steps.
Many Boundless Stage Experts fell before these ten thousand steps.
However, despite what the Dragon Kings thought, Yang Chen did not seem in a hurry to reach the ten-thousand-step mark.
Instead, near the eight-thousandth step, he reached out his hand toward Murong Qi, who was not far away.
"Miss Murong, shall we go up together?" said Yang Chen gently.
A trace of worry appeared on Murong Qi’s face. She had originally hoped to ascend to the Dragon Palace without causing any trouble for Yang Chen.
She was proud of being a genius with peerless grace and elegance.
She would not allow herself to be left behind by others.
But reality was cruel. Golden Claw had passed fourteen thousand two hundred steps, reaching the Dragon Palace, while she could only stop at eight thousand steps.
"Young Master Yang Chen, I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused. I... I can still hold on," said Murong Qi, her stubbornness still evident as her lips trembled.
Yang Chen looked at Murong Qi’s stubborn face, filled with mixed emotions as he realized she was no ordinary woman.
He said gently, "Miss Murong, it’s already quite an achievent for you to reach eight thousand steps. Golden Claw was able to reach the Dragon King Palace because the Soaring Dragon Steps benefit its kind. In other words, if it weren’t a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, there’s no way it could surpass you today. So you don’t need to worry about it. At least, that little girl Mu Qing hasn’t reached your height yet."
Yang Chen had been watching Golden Claw’s progress, as an observer with his experience, he knew that the Soaring Dragon Steps were actually tailored for Five-clawed Golden Dragons.
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon Emperor set up this challenge not to be difficult, but to confirm whether Golden Claw was indeed a Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
Comforted by Yang Chen’s words, a warm feeling flowed through Murong Qi’s heart, and her self-esteem began to return.
"Thank you, Young Master Yang Chen," Murong Qi’s cheeks blossod with a touch of rosiness like red apples, as she slowly stood up with Yang Chen’s help.
"What does this kid want to do?"
Upon seeing this scene, the group of Dragon Kings had puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Is this kid trying to climb the steps with another person? He’s gone mad, completely mad."
"This kid is carrying a burden; that ans he has to bear the pressure of two people. To traverse this heavenly ladder with the double difficulty is like making a joke!" These Dragon Kings grew more and more horrified.
They all thought Yang Chen was insane, and they felt that he was doing sothing foolish.
He might still have had a chance and even gained their admiration if he tried alone. But with another person in tow, the only result left for Yang Chen was failure.
Yet, Yang Chen remained calm.
How could Yang Chen not know that carrying an extra person ant bearing extra pressure?
The pressure ant for Murong Qi would be added to him, making his challenge of ascending these steps even more difficult.
Still, he remained unfazed.
It had to be said that the difficulty indeed increased dramatically.
As he stepped up, a pressure as heavy as a mountain fell upon him, making Yang Chen shudder before he stopped holding back.
His Dao Intent Inscriptions spread out completely.
Over forty thousand Dao Intent Inscriptions were revealed to the world.
The sight left the Dragon King Powerhouses staring with widened eyes, deeply shocked by Yang Chen’s display of more than 40,000 Dao Intent Inscriptions.
Although they knew Yang Chen had over 40,000 Dao Intent Inscriptions from what Mu Qing had told them, they were still amazed when they actually saw them with their own eyes.
At the sa ti, Mu Qing had arrived at the Dragon King Palace via a shortcut, her gaze locked on Yang Chen below, disbelief written all over her face.
Yang Chen had reached the ten-thousandth step.
And his pace had not stopped. It was just that he could no longer be as carefree as before — taking a thousand steps with a single stride.
However, upon closer inspection, it was apparent that although Yang Chen wasn’t taking a thousand steps at a ti, he was still maintaining a pace of hundreds of steps with each stride.
And under the protection of his Dao Intent Inscriptions, stepping up hundreds of steps at a ti still seed effortless and casual.
Finally, eleven thousand steps!
Twelve thousand steps!
The group of Dragon King Powerhouses were engulfed in a deep sea of shock as they wondered whether Yang Chen would truly ascend to fourteen thousand two hundred steps with another person in tow.
Considering Yang Chen’s unstoppable montum...
After reaching twelve thousand steps, he reached thirteen thousand steps, and then, fourteen thousand steps!
It was only when Yang Chen reached fourteen thousand steps that he began to sense a heavy pressure, and sweat started to break out. Unfortunately, the final difficulty could not create enough obstruction or pressure for him.
In an instant, Yang Chen had successfully traversed all fourteen thousand two hundred steps, arriving at the Dragon King Palace.
Murong Qi, following behind Yang Chen, was still in a daze, feeling as if she was dreaming.
Looking at Yang Chen’s back, her lips slightly parted, filled with astonishnt; she was now firmly convinced that he was soone she would never surpass in her life.
At that mont, Golden Claw and Mu Qing hurriedly ca up to greet them with smiles, saying, "Young Master, you made it up here too."
"Congratulations to Young Master Yang Chen for successfully ascending the Soaring Dragon Steps," Mu Qing giggled. She had felt sowhat guilty before about Yang Chen’s situation, but now, her guilt had completely disappeared.
The other Dragon King Powerhouses exchanged glances for a while before finally catching up.
"Congratulations, Brother Yang Chen," Red Tree Dragon King finally conceded, saying slowly, "Your performance on the steps just now was truly a surprise to all of us. You indeed have the qualifications to ascend to the Dragon King Palace. Alright, we shouldn’t waste any more ti. Let’s hurry up and et the Dragon Emperor."
