I picked up the scattered attributes

The old tortoise's expression immediately changed upon hearing this.

It slapped down with its foot, silencing the gold-devouring rat, and growled in a low voice, "If the Seven Fiends of the Bamboo Forest... ah, I mean the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest hear this, burning your soul to the ground would be the lightest punishment!"

……

Chapter 0260

"Something's not right."

While boasting to everyone, the old tortoise still couldn't help but glance into the distance a few times: "This guy still looks somewhat familiar. Strange, I... I shouldn't forget someone I've seen with my own eyes..."

In the distance, the young man in white was still walking forward, but at some point, a petite girl appeared beside him. From the waist up, she was a human girl, but from the waist down, she had long, jet-black, shiny spider legs. She possessed a bewitching beauty that also sent chills down one's spine.

"Strange, where exactly is this..."

Under the central sacred mountain.

As Feng Xia and Zhu Youniang walked over, many demon beasts instinctively made way for them, but a few onlookers flashed a faint disdain in their eyes.

"Another overconfident fool!"

"Does he really think that just because he has a little bit of strength, he can challenge the rules of the Heavenly Ladder?"

At the foot of the central sacred mountain, there are more than a dozen miniature secret realms. Some are engulfed in flames, while others are filled with the light of primordial energy. They are like seats, symbolizing strength and status. Only those with sufficient strength can occupy those miniature secret realms!

Therefore, these miniature secret realms were also called by the early enthusiasts—

The Throne of Heaven!

At this moment, some of the Heavenly Thrones have been occupied by powerful figures. Several powerful figures can be seen revealing their true forms without any scruples, unleashing overwhelming demonic energy, and occupying several miniature secret realms.

In one of the miniature secret realms, flames raged, burning the void, and scorching lava flowed by. As Feng Xia walked past the Throne of Heaven, a demonic bird bathed in lava suddenly opened its eyes.

"This is the end. This is not the place you can go."

His voice was very deep and carried a hint of authority. Anyone who heard his voice would be intimidated by the pressure almost immediately!

The summer breeze suddenly paused.

He slowly turned around, curiously examining the fiery beast: "Were you talking to me just now?"

Chi Yanli's expression remained unchanged as he calmly continued, "The first person to step onto the Heavenly Ladder is not only a symbol of strength but also an honor, and this honor... will only belong to one of us."

His gaze fell upon the other Heavenly Thrones.

There, powerful creatures also dwelled, their auras vibrant and their pressure astonishing. When their gazes clashed with Chi Yanli's, sparks and lightning flashed in the air!

With Chi Yanli's pride, he never took this suddenly appearing young man seriously from beginning to end.

His competitors have always been just a few!

As contemporaries, they naturally engaged in various open and covert struggles, with neither willing to concede to the other. The opening of the Heavenly Ladder this time undoubtedly provided them with an excellent arena.

Whoever steps onto the ladder to heaven first, travels the furthest on this celestial path, hones their skills, and gains the greatest opportunities and benefits...

This means that person surpassed everyone else and was the undisputed number one of his generation!

To Chi Yanli, Chi Yanli was just an unexpected intruder, not even worthy of being called an opponent. The reason he spoke up was simply to drive him away and avoid disturbing their subsequent duel!

"Oh."

Feng Xia pondered for three breaths, then slowly uttered a single word, took Zhu Youniang's arm, and continued walking forward leisurely.

Chi Yanli: "..."

For some reason, he felt exceptionally alone at this moment, and a strong urge surged within him to unleash a blazing sunfire and burn the two figures walking ahead to ashes!

Fortunately, he suppressed the thought in an instant.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Chi Yanli, are you even capable?" A mocking voice came from another Heavenly Throne. "Trying to flatter someone who's cold to you, why don't you just burn this kid to ashes?"

"Hmph, there are rules for ascending the Heavenly Ladder. No one can ascend the Heavenly Ladder if the one-month period is not completed."

Chi Yanli remained calm and gave a nonchalant snort: "Besides, if he is determined to die, what does it have to do with me, Chi Yanli? The restrictions and rules of the Heavenly Ladder will naturally teach him to behave."

Although Chi Yanli acts in a domineering manner, he does not like indiscriminate killing. He has already reminded this young man that if the other party does not listen, then whatever the outcome, it can only be considered as reaping what he sowed.

"It's not that you don't want to move, it's that you're afraid to move, isn't it?"

That slightly shrill voice rang out again: "If I'm not mistaken, if you make a move now, it will destroy the momentum you've built up and leave a weakness for others. One wrong step will lead to another, and you will no longer have a chance to be the first to climb the ladder to heaven."

Chi Yanli's face darkened, and he simply lay back down on the ground, too lazy to pay attention to the person on the throne.

"On another note, this kid dared to ignore your warning. Should we say he's incredibly bold, or that he's ignorant and fearless?"

The voice from afar gradually faded: "But you're right, this isn't the first stubborn guy to try and give up in the last few days, but what happened to them in the end..."

Not far from the ladder to heaven, the corpses scattered on the ground and the blood that has not yet dried are the best proof!

"However, His Highness the Holy Son has not yet arrived. Could it be that he is... something?!"

The next moment, the sharp sound suddenly turned into a scream!

Not only him, but also the other Heavenly Seats were experiencing fluctuations in energy, and even more so, bursts of demonic energy. They looked at the Heavenly Ladder in disbelief.

"This is impossible!!"

"How did he do it?!"

Further away, the old tortoise that had been boasting to someone suddenly trembled as if struck by lightning, its small eyes widening in shock: "Wait! I remember who that guy is—"

"Who are you talking about, senior?" a demon beast asked curiously.

"Of course it's the one in the white shirt from earlier!"

The old tortoise unconsciously lost his composure, and even his aged, trembling voice suddenly became much younger: "He went straight towards the throne of heaven, could it be that his goal is also—"

Almost the instant the words were spoken, a tremendous uproar erupted in the distance.

"He's inside!!"

"This guy actually walked onto the Heavenly Ladder?!"

"What's going on? Why aren't the restrictions on ascending the Heavenly Ladder working?"

The young man in white, supporting his female companion, strolled leisurely into the range of the Heavenly Ladder's divine light. He seemed oblivious to the heavy light, curiously looking around a few times before turning back to look in Chi Yanli's direction.

"Thank you for reminding me, but it seems I'm the first one to climb the ladder."

He smiled, brandished his sword, and sat down on the first step of the Heavenly Ladder. He surveyed his surroundings before speaking, word by word:

"It's trading time now."

……

Chapter 0261

At the foot of the central sacred mountain, after a series of exclamations, the surrounding area fell silent.

One gaze after another came from all directions, landing on the smiling figure in white. His smile was so radiant that many of the demon beasts felt a sense of unreality at that moment…

It seemed that everything happening now, the scene they were seeing, was merely a beautiful illusion.

Before the Heavenly Ladder was opened, someone actually ignored the rules and restrictions of the Heavenly Ladder's divine light and stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder as if he were returning to his own home!

How can this be? !

"I must be... seeing things..."

Chi Yanli murmured softly, blinking hard as he activated the secret technique of the Chiwu clan. His eyes blazed with solar fire, capable of sweeping away all illusions and revealing the essence and truth of things.

But then, his mouth opened even wider.

The young man in white sat on the first step of the ladder to heaven, relaxed and showing no sign of tension, as if he were just on vacation.

It was at this moment that the young man's voice rang out, breaking the silence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now trading time."

"No, how did he get in?"

Countless demonic beasts present shared the same question at this moment.

Is it possible to say...

Has the restriction on the Heavenly Ladder failed?

Once this thought arose, it immediately took root and sprouted in the hearts of all the demons like wildly growing weeds. In the next instant, a figure more than ten feet long flew out from a secret realm of the Heavenly Throne made of frost and snow. Wherever it passed, the air froze inch by inch, and ice and snow spread to the earth. It was so cold that it was bone-chilling. It was as if a silver-white world was created in an instant!

Amidst the swirling snow and ice, streaks of silvery-white silk shot into the distance, heading straight for the divine light that led to the Heavenly Ladder.

"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we try!"

The sharp voice laughed, finally revealing its true form at this moment. It was a snow-white ice silkworm, its entire body as if carved from glass and ice crystals, full of a beautiful and mysterious aura.

"Frost and Snow Bright, the son of the Cold King of the Far North!"

Someone recognized Ice Silkworm's identity.

Many people subconsciously glanced at the old tortoise, secretly thinking: "Just as this senior said, this is a great era unprecedented in a thousand years. There are royal families with powerful bloodlines, as well as successors trained by top demon kings, plus the strongest demon god palace. It's simply a chaotic dance of demons. I wonder what other demons and monsters will appear!"

For example, there was Chi Yanli before, and then there was the son of the Cold King, and then there was…

That mysterious young man who suddenly stepped into the divine light of the Heavenly Ladder!

"On another note, I wonder what this senior's background is. Knowing so many secrets, his identity must be quite extraordinary!"
