Yes, Yang Zhen had not broken through to the Emperor Realm; that was a certainty.
If people had known beforehand that Yang Zhen was about to attempt to break through to the Emperor Realm, they would've thought the same.
Breaking through to the Emperor Realm was not just a matter of undergoing tribulation or merely increasing one's strength. It required a specific opportunity.
But what exactly was the opportunity to break through to the Emperor Realm?
There was no single answer.
Some practitioners experienced life-and-death situations, braved nine cycles of life and death, grasped the Heaven and Earth Power, and had their moment of enlightenment in an instant.
Others saw through the cycle of reincarnation, no longer cared for the Heaven and Earth Power, and inadvertently received it.
