After arriving at her room, Yun Li organized the materials she had collected over the past period of time and found that, without realizing it, she had enough to forge a thousand swords.

And barring any unforeseen circumstances, these Precious Sword should all be able to meet or exceed the passing grade.

However, her current level of strange fire strength is still a little lacking if she wants to forge Emperor Weapon.

"Let's use the materials from this Eighth-Rank Monster Beast to get a feel for it before we officially begin forging the sword."

After planning the materials, Yun Li found some materials from an Eighth-Rank Monster Beast. Then, four strange flames appeared in Yun Li's hands, which she forcibly fused into four-colored strange flames...

Time flies by, and before I knew it, three months had passed.

During this period, Yun Li forged many decent Precious Sword, but some of these "Precious Sword" could not be called swords based on their appearance.

There was even a "sword" among them, shaped like a baseball bat.

Just as Yun Li was about to rest before continuing her forging, she suddenly sensed something, and her body instantly disappeared from the cave and reappeared outside.

Before long, a spatial rift appeared in front of Yun Li, and then Heavenly Fire Venerable Yao Tianhuo walked out of it with a smile on his face.

"You found the strange fire?"

Looking at Yao Tianhuo's appearance, Yun Li couldn't help but ask him questions.

If he hadn't found any clues about the strange fire, this guy wouldn't have come, much less be so happy.

"Emperor Yunli, you are irresponsible... Following the clues about the strange fire you gave me, I searched the Endless Desert and finally found this strange fire."

Yao Tianhuo to Yun Li, then opened his left hand, and a yellowish-brown flame appeared in his palm.

This is the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, ranked eighteenth among the strange flames.

Born in the eye of a fiery tornado in an ancient desert.

He had previously said he would help Yun Li find a different kind of fire, so naturally he couldn't just search randomly. Coincidentally, Yun Li had previously obtained a map about the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, so she gave it to him.

However, unlike other strange flames that are mostly fixed in one place, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame is unpredictable and its whereabouts depend entirely on luck.

So Yun Li never thought of looking for it, but unexpectedly, Yao Tianhuo actually found this strange fire based on his map.

He's got some ability, no wonder he's called Heavenly Fire Venerable.

"Wind Fury Dragon Flame..."

Yun Li received the strange fire from Yao Tianhuo's hand. In this way, she now possessed five strange fires, enough to temper source energy and forge Emperor Weapon.

"Thank you for your hard work. Here are some High-grade Heaven Tier Dou Technique. Please choose one yourself."

Having casually accepted the strange fire, Yun Li naturally couldn't let Yao Tianhuo go to waste, so she took out the High-grade Heaven Tier Dou Technique in her hand and let him choose.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Yao Tianhuo had long wanted to try out so many High-grade Heaven Tier Dou Techniques. He originally thought Yun Li would just give him one at random, but unexpectedly, she let him choose whichever he wanted.

Without hesitation, he carefully scanned the fighting techniques before him and finally chose a fire-attribute technique.

After obtaining the High-grade Heaven Tier Dou Technique, Yao Tianhuo was eager to start cultivating it. With his current body and the High-grade Heaven Tier Dou Technique, he could even fight against a Dou Sheng.

Seeing his thoughts, Yun Li didn't keep him. After giving him a few more instructions, she let him leave.

After Yao Tianhuo left, Yunli found an open space and curiously tried out the strange fire she had just acquired.

"Wind Fury Dragon Flame!"

As Yun Li unleashed the power of this strange fire, it instantly transformed into a tornado, combining wind and fire. The flames reached hundreds of meters high, roaring and spinning forward like a giant fire dragon, turning everything in their path into a sea of fire.

"Very good, then it's time to forge the Emperor Weapon."

After retracting the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, Yun Li forcibly fused the five different flames together. Looking at the five-colored flames in her hand, she realized that their strength was already terrifying.

Combined with his own power, he possessed enough Origin Qi to refine the Emperor Pill...

She acted on her idea immediately, but this time she needed to forge the sword in a different location, as the previous cave was no longer suitable. So Yun Li took her tools and headed deep into the Falling God Ravine, where she found a desolate spot to forge the sword.

Of course, the Emperor's Origin Qi alone was not enough to forge a top-ten divine Divine Weapon, so Yun Li took out five more purple materials that were compatible with the Emperor's Origin Qi.

One piece of purple material is enough to forge Divine Weapon ranked in the top 300. Now, with five pieces of purple material plus the Emperor's Origin Qi, such a huge cost should not disappoint her.

Time passed slowly, and no one knew how much time had gone by. All the materials had been thoroughly refined by Yun Li, and the Emperor's Origin Qi had been completely purified.

Turning this opportunity to become an emperor into a weapon might seem like a waste to others, but Yun Li doesn't see it that way.

She doesn't need to become a Dou Di (Battle Emperor). Even if she becomes someone else, she wouldn't need to cultivate any Dou Qi (Battle Qi).

If that's the case, why not forge it into an Emperor Weapon with the strength of a Dou Di?

This way, I can use it in other worlds as well, just like the Creation Goddess Activator I obtained at the beginning.

Even if you don't use it regularly, you can still keep it and take it out to look at it from time to time, which is quite meaningful.

With that in mind, Yun Li began the final forging, using the Emperor's Origin Qi as the core and filling it with other top-grade materials. Although it was not yet formed, the surrounding environment had already begun to change.

Above Falling God Ravine, the sky had turned gloomy and dark, as if it were the end of the world, and then countless bolts of lightning filled the sky.

It was as if this world did not want this weapon to be born.

Before it was even fully formed, countless bolts of lightning suddenly bombarded Yun Li, attempting to destroy the Emperor Weapon was forging.

But Yun Li completely ignored the lightning; Preservation power emanated from her, shielding everything around her.

No matter how much thunderbolts bombarded it, they could not break through this Preservation defense.

It was like an indestructible city wall, firmly blocking the lightning from the sky.

Just as Yun Li was about to finish forging the sword, the heavens seemed to get anxious, and even more terrifying lightning was born.

Above them appeared a golden pool of lightning, within which thunder dragons soared.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that it was a giant dragon of divine lightning, its entire body gleaming as if cast from gold, winding and coiling, with golden lightning radiating from its surface.

A golden thunder dragon coiled in the deepest part of the sea of thunder, its eyes closed, golden arcs of electricity flashing continuously on its body, and a destructive power quietly spreading out.

The golden lightning storm exploded violently on his body, and golden arcs of lightning, filled with destructive power, surged wildly.

"... Nine Profound Golden Lightning?!"

Yun Li sensed something was wrong, looked up, and immediately recognized what kind of heavenly lightning it was.

Nine Profound Golden Lightning!

This is a divine thunder born in the void thunder pool, active in the very center of the thunder sea, whose power is enough to make even a seven- or eight-star Dou Sheng powerhouse's scalp tingle.

According to ancient records, it only appears in the world when a top-grade ninth-rank elixir is refined.

"What a hassle."

If the Nine Profound Golden Lightning were to fall, the entire Falling God Ravine and the surrounding area would be completely destroyed. Not only would the sword forging be impossible, but Little Fairy Doctor and the others would also perish.

With no other option, Yun Li had to multitask, preparing to destroy the Nine Profound Golden Lightning above.

Yun Li continued forging the sword in her hands, but behind her, the power of the Hunt transformed into a centaur illusion.

It was an illusion of the Great Bow Sovereign. The illusion drew back the light arrow in its hand and locked onto the golden dragon in the center of the Thunder Pool above.

The Nine Profound Golden Lightning seemed to sense something as well, and stopped absorbing the lightning, directly charging down towards Yun Li with world-destroying power.

But the instant it made this move, the light arrow of the Emperor's Bow illusion had already taken shape.

The light arrow flew towards the Nine Profound Golden Lightning like a meteor, instantly blasting the golden dragon-shaped Nine Profound Golden Lightning apart.

Just when Yun Li thought it was over, the heavens seemed to be enraged, and an even more terrifying lightning bolt was born.

That was a top-tier divine lightning that surpassed the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, a divine lightning that existed only in theory— the Primordial Purple Lightning. Only when the most powerful Emperor Pill was born, or when it was targeted at a Dou Di (Battle Emperor), would there be a small probability of such divine punishment.

"Is this never going to end?"

Sensing the manifestation of the Primordial Purple Lightning, Yun Li accelerated the sword-forging process, taking advantage of her current inability to free her hands and deciding to see who could forge the sword faster.

It takes time to fully develop the Primordial Purple Lightning, and Yun Li's sword forging is only one step away from completion.

So the two began racing against time, but it was clear that Yun Li was always one step ahead.

The moment the Emperor Weapon took shape, Yun Li Emperor Weapon its intense heat and its desire to escape, grabbed it, and then charged alone into the super lightning pool that was being nurtured in the sky.

"You've lost. Now, it's my turn to use the Primordial Purple Lightning to forge my Emperor Weapon!"

Yun Li's physical body traversed the Thunder Pool, directly rushing into its very center. Gazing at the Primordial Purple Lightning, which surpassed the aura of an ordinary Dou Di, she wielded her newly forged Emperor Weapon and slashed at it.

The Emperor Weapon itself possesses the power of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor), and under Yun Li's wielding, it unleashed the power of Heavenly Supreme.

P. S.: I'll be holding a poll for the next volume in a couple of days. You can leave some characters and worlds that interest you here so I can add the ones I'm capable of writing to the poll. Thank you!

Chapter 69: The Emperor Weapon ranked 3rd.

When that attack, comparable to that of Heavenly Supreme, landed, the entire Thunder Pool in the sky was completely cleared, and the Primordial Purple Lightning that had been born was also annihilated.

Even the remaining divine lightning was completely absorbed by the Emperor Weapon in Yun Li's hand.

Thus, the divine punishment that arose from the forging of the Emperor Weapon came to a complete end.

The sky gradually cleared up again.

Yun Li landed on the ground, her gaze fixed on the Emperor Sword in her hand, which was constantly flashing with purple lightning.

These purple lightning bolts did not exist originally; they were created by absorbing the Primordial Purple Lightning.

It has to be said that this looks even cooler, and the quality has been significantly improved compared to the original. After all, the Primordial Purple Lightning is theoretically something that only appears in ancient times when there is abundant source energy and multiple Dou Di exist at the same time.

Its power is enough to threaten even a Dou Di level expert.

"System, identify."

Having consumed so many precious materials and endured countless tribulations and heavenly punishments, it shouldn't disappoint me, right?

[Tested and approved!]

This sword can be registered with the number 3.

The system quickly assessed the results and gave it a very high ranking.

The original requirement to clear the game was to be ranked in the top ten, but this Emperor Weapon directly placed me in third place.

Thanks to the Primordial Purple Lightning, otherwise it would probably only be around seventh place. It was this divine punishment that raised it a few places.

"Excellent! Over a hundred swords have been forged, and the top ten are single swords..."

"The conditions for global clearance have been met; now all that's missing is reputation."

With the birth of the Emperor Weapon, Yun Li had already fulfilled most of the conditions for clearing this world, and the rest was much simpler.

After examining the Emperor Weapon in her hand for a while, Yun Li realized that although its power might be much weaker, many of its special effects were still present, since it was forged with reference to the Emperor Weapon in "Covering the Sky".

This Emperor Weapon possesses the power of a Battle Emperor/ Earthly Supreme. Once it is summoned, it can automatically kill enemies.

Of course, it's impossible to persuade the Emperor Weapon to move unless it's recognized by it, and only those closely related to Yun Li can be recognized.

Besides its inherent combat power, a Dou Di level expert wielding it can unleash power approaching that of Heavenly Supreme. In Yun Li's hands, it can even unleash the power of Immortal Grade, or even Saint Grade, Heavenly Supreme.

Other Dou Di would be much weaker, perhaps only approaching the Spirit Grade Heavenly Supreme.

But this is already incredibly powerful, and that's just in terms of pure destructive power, not to mention its other abilities. Due to the integration of other top-tier materials, it also possesses the characteristics of destruction, the Hunt, Preservation, and the Void Fate Path.

It can be said that its combat power surpasses that of an ordinary Dou Di.

Of course, having used up so many good items, Yun Li doesn't intend to give this Emperor Weapon, Yun Li, to anyone. They simply can't use it unless they reach the Dou Di realm.

As for offering Emperor Weapon and summoning it to battle in times of crisis?

No need.

Therefore, Yun Li plans to keep it for herself as a trump card.

The combat power of a Dou Di level is already very strong. Ordinary Path Walker do not have this level of power. Before she clears the seven worlds, she cannot return to her former self and obtain the characters and powers from her past.

This is only the fourth world so far; there are three more to come.

Who knows who you'll become in the next world?

Not all the characters in the Honkai: Star Rail possess sufficient strength; some are simply individuals who are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Therefore, it is necessary to have more trump cards up your sleeve.
