The Divine Realm is a rather unique realm.
One must at least survive five rounds of lightning tribulation to successfully break through to the Monarch God Realm.
Each level of lightning tribulation brings a tremendous surge of power; the more tribulations you endure, the stronger and more stable you'll be upon reaching the Monarch God Realm, paving a wider path for future ascension.
However, with every tribulation you survive, the boost in strength is never as vast as that of advancing directly to a major cultivation realm.
So, for those who remain within the Divine Realm—
Even if their opponent has survived more tribulations than they have, the worst that can happen is losing the fight, but never being unable to escape, or falling to instant annihilation.
This was the confidence the Bald Elder and his companions relied on.
