In the starry sky, a massive furnace radiated scorching heat as domineering True Sun Fire blazed within it.
Ying Hao wore a solemn expression. He had already placed all the materials into the furnace, but this was only the beginning.
The True Sun Fire was boundlessly domineering. Whether it was Immortal Gold, Chaos Stone, or other weapon-refining materials, everything had melted.
"Immortal Gold truly cannot coexist!"
Ying Hao looked toward the furnace. Although the Immortal Gold and other materials had all melted, they remained distinctly separate.
He was not surprised in the slightest. There were so many Ultimate Emperor Weapons in the world, yet never had one been refined from several types of Immortal Gold.
Only a material as extraordinarily inclusive as Mother Qi of All Things could merge with Immortal Gold and be refined into an Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
He did not force the Immortal Gold together. Instead, he used Chaos Stone as the main material, supplemented it with Mother Qi of All Things, and wrapped the other weapon-refining materials within it.
Within the massive furnace, a divine diagram slowly emerged. Great Dao runes interwove across it, gathering an astonishing aura.
"Rumble!"
As a tremendous roar rang out, massive bolts of lightning crashed down. An endless sea of lightning appeared, and in an instant, thunder and lightning raged.
It was as though Heaven and Earth had sensed that an unparalleled divine weapon was about to be born, and thus descended the Heavenly Tribulation to stop it.
Massive bolts of lightning struck the furnace. The divine diagram that had just taken shape shattered instantly, and the various weapon-refining materials scattered in every direction.
But it was not over. In the next moment, the sea of lightning erupted, and one weapon after another flew out from within it, suppressing him all at once.
The first was a cauldron—a round cauldron with three legs and two handles. Chaos filled its mouth as it descended with suppressive force, possessing both offense and defense.
Next came a great halberd, black and sinister. It could crush the heavens and shatter billions of stars.
After that came a qilin staff, radiating eternal light that illuminated the void and caused the sun, moon, and all the stars of the heavens to lose their luster.
A Heavenly Sword also cleaved down, while a resplendent immortal garment and a Phoenix-Winged Gilded Halberd shook the Eight Wastes.
One weapon after another appeared. Every one of them was a renowned divine weapon from history, and each had once suppressed an entire era.
Ying Hao took a step and arrived above the furnace. With his bare hands, he clashed forcefully against one divine weapon after another.
With his current strength, he could actually destroy the Heavenly Tribulation completely and disperse the boundless sea of lightning.
But he did not do so. This was the tribulation involved in refining an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, a process it had to undergo before taking shape.
Only through a thousand temperings could the most perfect form be forged to bear the Invincible Dao of a Great Emperor.
Ying Hao was already a Great Emperor, so the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation was useless to him. Yet he wanted to personally experience the Great Dao imprints within it.
The Great Dao imprints of Ultimate Emperor Weapons existed between Heaven and Earth. Now, the Heavenly Tribulation had manifested them, making it seem as though Ultimate Emperor Weapons were emerging into the world.
He battled against numerous Ultimate Emperor Weapons, using his physical body to experience their might and even drawing them into himself.
Every Ultimate Emperor Weapon had its own unique strengths. Learning from each to offset his weaknesses would greatly assist him in refining his own Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
After silently comprehending them for a while, the ideas in his mind became increasingly complete. At this moment, the time was ripe.
"Come, divine diagram!"
Ying Hao let out a loud shout. The True Sun Fire furnace exploded, and the divine diagram appeared above his head, cascading ten thousand zhang of Chaos Qi.
The divine diagram underwent its tribulation and fought against numerous Ultimate Emperor Weapons. After every clash, it became battered and broken.
But compared to before, the divine diagram did not shatter again. Instead, it became incomparably tough, constantly being reborn amid destruction.
This was because Ying Hao had already infused his own power into the divine diagram. That was his Dao—the Invincible Path he had walked.
As one rune after another surfaced on the divine diagram, its might surged. It began to attack the Ultimate Emperor Weapons of its own accord.
The divine diagram swept across the starry sky, swallowing all the Ultimate Emperor Weapons before refining them within itself.
In the Big Dipper Star Domain, within the various Forbidden Zones, the Supremes looked at one another, all wearing stupefied expressions.
"How come I can't understand what he's doing? Can Ultimate Emperor Weapons really be refined like this?"
"That divine diagram appears astonishingly powerful, but refining several types of Immortal Gold in a single furnace means they simply can't merge into one!"
"Hmph! Who does he think he is? Even the Emperor could not accomplish this. He is forcing it, and in the end, he will certainly suffer more than he gains!"
Some marveled, some mocked, and even more sneered repeatedly.
But regardless of what they said, Haotian the Great Emperor's refinement of an Ultimate Emperor Weapon had indeed broadened the horizons of every Supreme.
It was not that no Supreme had ever thought of this before. They had merely considered it, however, and no one had ever put it into practice.
Now, Haotian the Great Emperor was refining an Ultimate Emperor Weapon before their eyes, merging numerous types of Immortal Gold in one furnace.
Although they did not favor this method, at the very least, Haotian the Great Emperor had not failed yet.
In the universe's starry sky, the sea of lightning churned and pressed downward, colliding violently with the divine diagram.
The divine diagram unfurled and swept across hundreds of millions of li. Amid the terrifying tribulation, it shattered again and again, only to be reborn again and again.
During this process, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was engraved into the divine diagram, becoming innate Dao Traces—the imprint of the Great Dao.
"As expected! This alone is simply not enough to refine an Ultimate Emperor Weapon!"
Although he watched the divine diagram fiercely resist the Heavenly Tribulation and display astonishing might, Ying Hao remained calm throughout.
In truth, if this had been a normal refinement of an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, it would have been nearly complete by this point!
All that remained would be careful polishing. An Ultimate Emperor Weapon capable of suppressing the world and ruling an entire era would soon emerge.
But the divine diagram he was refining was different. Within it, the several types of Immortal Gold remained distinctly separate.
Without truly merging into one, the divine diagram could not become a complete Ultimate Emperor Weapon, no matter how powerful it was.
Ying Hao flicked a finger. Primordial Violet Qi flashed and vanished, merging into the divine diagram.
Ying Hao extended a great hand, enveloped the boundless sea of lightning, seized it in his grasp, and placed it within the divine diagram.
Success or failure would be decided by this move!
An incredible transformation appeared. The Immortal Gold that had originally remained distinctly separate actually merged into one in an unbelievable manner.
It was as though a supreme, unparalleled power had forcibly blended the several types of Immortal Gold together, allowing them to fuse seamlessly with the other materials.
"Heavenly Dao Record, Evolve the Great Desolation!"
Ying Hao roared, pouring all his comprehension of the Heaven-Opening Mark into the divine diagram.
He also had to thank the discussions on the Dao he had shared with the Chaos Green Lotus. They had given him entirely new insights into the Heaven-Opening Mark.
The divine diagram churned and shook violently. Amid the boundless chaos, scenes of Heaven and Earth being split apart emerged.
A vast world appeared. Eternal Blue Gold shone like a dream, transforming into stars that filled the sky.
Phoenix Blood Red Gold was supremely yang and scorching hot, transforming into a great sun!
Mother Qi of All Things evolved Heaven and Earth's profound yellow. As Heaven and Earth first opened, the two qi of yin and yang were born!
It was done!
A brilliant smile appeared on Ying Hao's face. His Ultimate Emperor Weapon had finally been completed!
Several types of Immortal Gold, supplemented by various rare materials, had been refined into a divine diagram that evolved a vast world!
This was practically impossible, but because of the Primordial Violet Qi, he now had hope of success.
The Primordial Violet Qi transformed into the Heavenly Dao. It was supreme and unparalleled. Even the several types of Immortal Gold that had remained distinctly separate could only submit obediently!
This was his Ultimate Emperor Weapon—the Heavenly Dao Record!
Within it, a vast world was evolving. He called it the "Great Desolation"!
