Tribulation

However, right now, Ye Futian was not in the mood to think about breaking through to the next plane. He was somewhat worried.

Although Hua Jieyu undergoing a tribulation was a good thing, in a sense, doing so was not truly breaking through to the next plane. The current Heavenly Law did not allow Renhuangs with flawless Great Paths to continue advancing. Hence, the Tribulation of Law descended upon them when they attempted to do so. It was extremely dangerous.

Conversely, when cultivators without flawless Great Paths advanced, that was considered truly breaking through to the next plane. They merged with the Heavenly Law and were even called fake emperors. Yet, in reality, they were far inferior to Great Emperors.

Great Emperor level figures were existences akin to deities in ancient times. Fake emperors could not compare to them. Ordinary fake emperors would have difficulty defeating even a ninth-tier Renhuang with a flawless Great Path.
