They never saw how Wang Xu made his move. In just an instant, all the disciples were severely injured, vomiting blood profusely, and crashing heavily onto the ground, unable to recover for quite a while.

"What?!"

"Impossible!"

"Could he be in the Celestial God Realm?"

The numerous martial artists watching from afar were shaken by this scene.

Rou Lin covered her small mouth, her eyes filled with astonishment. Sister Xin Wan was also full of surprise. As for Han Qing'Er, a glimmer of brilliance flashed through her beautiful eyes, as if she had already understood Wang Xu's strength.

The disciple who had been boasting was now stunned on the spot, as if struck by a heavy blow.

How could this person be so strong?

They had already confirmed everything. To avoid offending the warriors of the first and second steps, they had long understood the senior brothers in the Celestial God Realm.

There was not a single one in the Celestial God Realm present; they were all people of the Mixed Universe Realm.

There were differences among the Mixed Universe Realm, but the differences were not large, so numbers were sufficient to compensate for everything.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of Wang Xu left everyone completely bewildered.

Where exactly did such a powerful warrior emerge from?

"Go there."

Wang Xu glanced around and directly locked onto one of the seats on the third step surrounded by a crowd.

Seat number thirty-five.

There were at least fifty people protecting this seat, sufficient to secure its position without any issue.

But once targeted by Wang Xu, even if a hundred people were protecting it, Wang Xu would certainly take it!

"My good sir, please stop!"

Seeing Wang Xu approaching with the three women, the burly man in battle attire, who had been sitting on the seat observing them, stood up and came to the forefront, "I know your strength is formidable, but here, don't be too ostentatious, or it will bring unnecessary slaughter!"

"Wang Xu, this is Brother Li from the Four Symbols Star Sect. His strength is reportedly exceptional, already able to rival the Celestial God Realm. We should let go of this seat idea!"

Sister Xin Wan advised in a low voice.

More than fifty guards, Brother Li's own strength ranking among the top within the disciples, such an array, relying only on the four of them, it was likely they wouldn't fare well.

"Wang Xu, let's choose another one. Look over there, the seat only has thirty guards; we should play it safe!"

Rou Lin pointed to another place.

Han Qing'Er quietly looked at Wang Xu without saying a word.

She believed Wang Xu would make his judgment.

"Vacate the seat."

Wang Xu spoke coldly.

He showed no sign of retreat.

Facing more than fifty guards, and the exceptionally strong Brother Li, Wang Xu still insisted on taking that position.

"Hmph! If you won't drink the toast, then drink the punishment wine. Kill them!"

Brother Li's expression changed, and with a wave of his hand, more than fifty guards charged to attack.

More than fifty people; even for one person, even Brother Li himself, it might not be easy to handle calmly.

It involved not only perception strength but also various attack techniques, and most importantly, physical strength!

The mortal body, no longer a body of primordial qi.

An ordinary martial artist, just maintaining a constant absorption of primordial qi, would never run out of physical strength.

But the mortal body has a limit on physical strength.

Facing the siege of over fifty people, even if Wang Xu wanted to punch, he would need at least fifty punches to defeat them all.

Could his physical strength keep up?

Wang Xu moved, and the three women also charged into the fight.

Four versus fifty, drawing the attention of all unrelated onlookers around. Was such a battle with a staggering disparity even necessary?

However, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Against each guard, Wang Xu only swung a single strike with the "Thunder God Universe Light Saber" in his hand.

Thrusting, sweeping, picking, lifting, slashing...

Wang Xu's movements were as smooth as flowing water, as if performing a dance, weaving through over fifty people without any hindrance.

Shh!

Blood splattered as weapons clashed, and the moment they made contact, thirteen guards bore sharp wounds on their bodies, all of whose vital areas were injured, making them unable to continue fighting.

Wang Xu's offensive continued; with just one person, he made it impossible for the remaining forty-plus to even touch the hem of his clothes.

A moment later.

Wang Xu moved through the crowd; over fifty guards, twenty-four died on the spot, and most of the rest were severely injured, leaving only a few guards with shallow wounds, standing there blankly.

"What... what happened?"

Brother Li could no longer maintain his composure.

His heart quaked violently as he looked at the blood-stained scene in disbelief before him.

Wang Xu stepped forward again, appearing before Brother Li in an instant, the long saber less than half a centimeter from Brother Li's neck!

Brother Li was terrified.

The terrifying speed, the frightening body technique, the mysterious and unpredictable attacks... not even a strong Celestial God could truly achieve this!

"Vacate the seat."

Wang Xu's words echoed like the whisper of death in Brother Li's ear.

"Vacate...vacate! I'll leave right now!"

Senior Brother Li hurriedly left his seat, nearly stumbling and falling to the ground.

As soon as Senior Brother Li departed, he chose to give up without hesitation. A flash of light swept over his body, and Senior Brother Li's figure completely vanished from the Celestial Ascension.

"Rou Lin, this seat is yours."

Wang Xu turned back and said, then walked in another direction.

"What? He's not taking this seat?"

"Giving it to a little girl! How could that girl have the strength to become a disciple within the steps!"

"Shut up quickly, if he sets his sights on you, what will you do!"

The shocked gazes of the crowd remained fixed on Wang Xu. Hearing that he actually let a woman with seemingly unsubstantial strength sit on a higher seat, they were indignant.

But no matter how dissatisfied they were, they lacked the courage to face Wang Xu.

In just a brief moment, he had defeated more than fifty guards, leaving them in disarray, while he himself hadn't even a gasp of air out of breath, effortlessly at ease.

With such strength, they were lucky Wang Xu wasn't coming after them; they wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Wang Xu otherwise.

"Rou Lin, since Wang Xu wants you to sit there, then sit!"

Senior Sister Xin Wan was somewhat envious; it was common for women to compare themselves. Seeing Rou Lin receive such treatment, even Senior Sister Xin Wan couldn't resist feeling a bit envious.

"This brother, I haven't offended you, so why are you coveting my seat?"

Wang Xu stared directly at the adjacent seat, and the senior brother sitting there shivered inwardly before speaking.

"Vacate the seat."

Wang Xu's words remained as sharp as ever.

At these words, more than thirty guards stared angrily, but dared not speak. They had all witnessed Wang Xu's earlier actions, showcasing formidable strength that no one could withstand.

"You must be a person of the Celestial God Realm; doing this violates the hidden rule!"

The senior brother on the seat shouted.

The crowd all nodded in agreement.

Wang Xu's strength far surpassed the Mixed Universe Realm, and only those at the Celestial God Realm could indeed possess such power in the Celestial Tier!

It was known that those at the Celestial God Realm do not compete for the third step, nor do they assist any Mixed Universe Realm in competing for the third step.

Because there are hidden rules within the Celestial Tier.

The Mixed Universe Realm competes for the third step, the Celestial God Realm competes for the second step, and the Peak Initial Celestial God Realm competes for the first step!

This isn't stated in the rules of the Celestial Tier, but in everyone's mind, it has already become an iron rule-like existence.

However, Wang Xu's actions clearly violated the hidden rule!

"If you have the strength to defeat me, then you are the hidden rule. If you don't have the strength, then I am the hidden rule!"

Wang Xu was unreasonably decisive.

The senior brother on the seat was so furious that he trembled, yet he was helpless against Wang Xu.

His gaze flickered, and his guards kept egging him on to fight against Wang Xu; the momentum on both sides was intense, ready for battle at any moment.

"I give up."

In the end, the senior brother on the seat chose to concede.

He had no ability to retaliate against Wang Xu; relying solely on his thirty-plus guards would only see them become souls perished under Wang Xu's saber.

More than thirty people retreated, leaving an empty round seat.

"Senior Sister Xin Wan, this is yours."

With a hint of joy brimming over her face, Senior Sister Xin Wan sat down on the seat, her eyes sparkling.

Her strength was also at the Demigod Chaos Realm, but compared to either Senior Brother Li or the seat's previous occupant, she was slightly inferior.

Moreover, she had no guards, making it impossible to truly occupy a place on the third step.

However, Wang Xu's appearance had allowed her to sit on the round seat she had longed for. Although she wasn't sure if she could become a disciple within the steps in the end, just being able to sit here for a moment was enough to make her extremely happy.

"You... you're not thinking of asking me to give up my seat, are you? I'm telling you right now, it's impossible!"

The senior brother on the adjacent seat suddenly stood up, flames of anger burning, "Even if I die, I will never submit to you!"

At the same time, more than sixty guards surrounding the seat all pointed their spears at Wang Xu.

Wang Xu stepped forward, each step causing the hearts of the sixty-plus people in front of him to thump violently.

"Wang Xu, this is Senior Brother Fu; he once helped me out. Can you spare him this time?"

Senior Sister Xin Wan suddenly spoke up. Hearing this, Wang Xu took a careful look at the person before nodding to Senior Sister Xin Wan, bypassing the sixty-plus guards and walking forward.

Senior Brother Fu, seeing Wang Xu really let him off, finally exhaled a sigh of relief and wiped cold sweat from his forehead.

Though he spoke of fighting to the death, in an actual battle, Senior Brother Fu had no confidence of winning.

Gratefully glancing at Senior Sister Xin Wan, he sat back down, continuing to watch Wang Xu with his gaze.

"Trying to take my seat? Brothers, kill him!"

On the other side, the battle had already begun. After a moment of chaos, the scene returned to silence.

Senior Brother Fu was dumbfounded as he looked at more than fifty people dead on the spot; even the senior brother occupying the seat was slain by Wang Xu, cold sweat soaking his back.

"Too... too terrifying!"

This was everyone's assessment of Wang Xu.

"Han Qing'Er, this is your seat."

Wang Xu turned back and said to Han Qing'Er.

A blush spread across Han Qing'Er's face as she obediently ascended the steps, sitting on them, her beautiful eyes flashing with starlight as she watched Wang Xu.

Taking three positions in one go, Wang Xu suddenly became the focus of everyone present.

"Senior Brother, he just went through a battle; how about the fifty or so of us brothers go together and kill him to seize that step position?"

"Fool! Look at him; does he seem like he just went through a battle? It's clear he's a person of the Celestial God Realm; his physical strength is still ample. Are we just rushing to our deaths?"
