The Outer King didn't dare to allow Cheng Yu to increase his strength at this moment. Up until now, they weren't able to ascertain Cheng Yu's strength.
Perhaps, Cheng Yu was truly a quasi-immortal, or perhaps, he wasn't. But even if he wasn't a quasi-immortal, the Outer King could still sense that his strength was unfathomable, causing him to be unable to see through him.
Under such circumstances, Cheng Yu still wanted to increase his strength. If the Outer King were to give him this opportunity, wouldn't he be cutting off his own path of retreat?
"Make your move!" When Zhou Tong saw that the Outer King didn't agree to allow Cheng Yu to increase his strength while Cheng Yu was still trying to delay for time, he immediately became somewhat impatient.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so anxious!" However, Cheng Yu didn't pay any attention to him. He immediately sat cross-legged on the fighting stage.
"You …" When Zhou Tong saw that Cheng Yu didn't care about the Outer King's objection and still wanted to increase his strength, he was truly enraged.
He stood in front of Cheng Yu and glared at him furiously. He then turned back to look at the Outer King. He didn't know if he should make a move or not.
"The competition has already started!" The Outer King clearly understood Zhou Tong's intention as he announced in front of everyone.
If he didn't open his mouth to set the tone, Zhou Tong attacking Cheng Yu at this moment would be somewhat morally inexcusable.
Even if they were to defeat Cheng Yu, Zhou Tong could still find an excuse to say that they sneak attacked Cheng Yu when he wasn't prepared.
However, just now, he had already rejected Cheng Yu's request. Now that he had announced the start of the competition, Cheng Yu actually wanted to increase his strength. Even if he was defeated or injured by Zhou Tong, he couldn't say anything about it.
This was a world where strength was revered. However, the moral high ground was very important. Sometimes, it was even more important than strength.
As the saying goes, a just cause enjoys abundant support while an unjust cause finds little support. If he could stand on the moral high ground, he would have the confidence to do whatever he wanted.
"Good!" With the Outer King's support, Zhou Tong's confidence immediately increased. He wielded his sword and prepared to attack Cheng Yu.
Rumble!
But it was at this moment, the entire sky above the Heavenly Moon Outer Dynasty was filled with dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
"These … are these tribulation clouds?" Zhou Tong suddenly stopped in his tracks. He was shocked by this sudden scene.
This scene looked very familiar, and it also aroused the fear in his heart, because it was also the same scene when he went through the tribulation.
Although he had successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and achieved his current achievements, he would never forget how terrifying the Lightning Tribulation that descended from the Tribulation Clouds was.
"It's a tribulation cloud? How is this possible? "The few Principal Elders were completely stunned when they saw the thick tribulation clouds in the sky.
They weren't shocked by the terrifying scene of the tribulation cloud, but by the fact that Cheng Yu had lured down the tribulation cloud.
"He … He … He actually attracted the Tribulation Cloud. Is he not at the Tribulation Stage?" This was what they were all concerned about.
Previously, they had always treated Cheng Yu as a quasi-immortal. Since he was a quasi-immortal, then his cultivation realm should have long reached the Crossing Tribulation Stage. In other words, he should have already crossed the tribulation lightning tribulation.
In the end, Cheng Yu had drawn down the tribulation lightning tribulation in front of them. This meant that Cheng Yu was only in the Great Ascension Stage previously. He hadn't even reached the Crossing Tribulation Stage, let alone becoming a quasi-immortal.
"Seems like we have been deceived by him. It turns out that everything before was just an act. What quasi-immortal? He's actually only in the Great Ascension Realm," The Second Elder felt relieved. Immediately, he felt that the pressure from before had disappeared.
Furthermore, now that he knew of Cheng Yu's true cultivation realm, his heart was filled with even more disdain.
"Haha! Isn't this a good thing? Could it be that you all really wish for him to be a quasi-immortal? At the very least, we will definitely win this battle. Even if he were to successfully cross the tribulation, would a Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivator who had just crossed the tribulation be a match for so many of us? "The Fifth Elder laughed.
"That's true. Previously, it was because we didn't know of his cultivation realm that we were so overcautious and fearful.
Now that his cultivation realm has been exposed, it can be said that he is no longer a threat to us, "The Second Elder commented.
"Then are we still going to continue the battle?" The Fourth Elder enquired.
"What's the hurry? It just so happens that Elder Zhou also needs to recover. Let him cross the tribulation first.
If he were to fail the tribulation, we wouldn't even need to make a move, "The Second Elder no longer took Cheng Yu seriously.
The Outer King looked at Cheng Yu who was sitting on the stage calmly. His heart was filled with doubt.
The first time he saw Cheng Yu, he had a huge doubt about Cheng Yu's cultivation realm. He seemed to feel that Cheng Yu did not have the aura of someone who had crossed the tribulation.
However, he was unable to see through Cheng Yu's cultivation realm. This made him feel that Cheng Yu's strength was already unfathomable.
Now that Cheng Yu had indicated that he was only in the Great Ascension Realm, he was still unable to see through a Great Ascension Realm cultivator's cultivation realm. This was very strange.
"Outer King, what do you think now?" The Great Elder saw that the Outer King had not spoken a word, so he could not help but ask.
"Let's wait and see first. I have a feeling that this matter is not that simple," The Outer King shook his head and did not say much. However, his heart was not as relaxed as what they had said.
Furthermore, the tribulation cloud was still constantly changing. It gave him a feeling that he was unable to breathe.
On the other side, Elder Fang and the others looked at everything that was happening on the stage. They were completely dumbfounded.
"So … … young master is really just a Great Ascension Realm cultivator. I always thought that young master was using it to confuse us," Elder Feng said in surprise.
In the past, Cheng Yu had not changed his appearance. His cultivation realm had always been in the Great Ascension Realm.
However, they had never taken it seriously because they did not believe that a Great Ascension Realm cultivator would have such formidable strength.
But now, looking at the thick tribulation cloud, it was indeed a heavenly tribulation. This also proved that the young master was really in the Great Ascension Realm and did not lie to them.
"This is really too inconceivable. If young master was really in the Great Ascension Realm, how could he have such formidable strength?" Elder Xu said in surprise.
"No matter what is going on, I know that this is definitely a good thing. If young master was only in the Great Ascension Realm and he already had such strength, then if he were to successfully cross the tribulation, how terrifying would his strength be?
At that time, don't talk about the Heavenly Moon Outer Dynasty having tens of thousands of Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivators. Even if there were tens of thousands more, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a problem! "Although Elder Fang was also very shocked, he was more pleasantly surprised.
