Refining Immortal Artifacts, Heaven and Earth Begin to Open!

In Tanggu Valley, Yin and Yang energies rose separately from the Sun God Temple and the Lunar Temple, clearly distinct, each occupying half the domain.

At the convergence of the Yin and Yang energies, a figure sat cross-legged, the two energies intertwining within his body.

The Yin Yang Taiji Diagram, with this person as its center, enveloped the entirety of Tanggu Valley and extended throughout the Ziwei Star Domain.

"This is truly astonishing. Just how far has Haotian the Great Emperor progressed?"

Laozi watched from afar, growing more shocked the more he looked. Haotian the Great Emperor had changed.

As everyone knew, Haotian the Great Emperor possessed the Sun God Physique, which became even more terrifying after his forced Achieve Dao.

Whenever Haotian the Great Emperor made a move, it was as if the Great Sun hung in the sky, his overbearing flames unbearable even to Supreme Beings.

But what was he seeing now?

The Yin and Yang energies intertwined within Haotian the Great Emperor's body, resonating with him and transforming into a Taiji Diagram.

The Sun God Physique mastered the extreme of Taiyang. When did Haotian the Great Emperor begin cultivating both Yin and Yang?

Physique transformations weren't unheard of. For instance, some had speculated that Haotian the Great Emperor had undergone a physique transformation.

However, such transformations typically built upon the existing foundation. For example, Haotian the Great Emperor's Sun God Physique could have advanced further.

What Haotian the Great Emperor was experiencing now was clearly not that. With the Sun God Physique alone, it was impossible to wield both Yin and Yang simultaneously.

In other words, Haotian the Great Emperor was no longer the Sun God Physique. He had transformed into an unparalleled physique capable of accommodating both Yin and Yang.

Could it be that everyone had been wrong?

Haotian the Great Emperor hadn't achieved a second life by consuming Immortal Medicine, but rather had reversed his lifespan through his own transformation?

If that were the case, everything would make sense. But was it truly possible?

The mere thought of this astonishing possibility sent shivers down his spine, for it implied so much more.

Whether his guess was correct or not, he might be able to wait and see in the coming years.

Laozi's guess was not wrong. After achieving his second life, Ying Hao's physique had indeed changed.

The Sacred Sun Physique represented the extreme of Yang. Even accommodating a sliver of Taiyin power was incredibly difficult.

As his first life drew to a close and his life approached its end, with Yin overpowering Yang, he finally underwent an unbelievable transformation.

The Black Tortoise Bloodline and the Golden Crow Bloodline reached a balance, simultaneously accommodating Taiyin and Taiyang, transforming the Sacred Sun Physique into the Yin Yang Sacred Body.

With Yin and Yang in harmony, he would reign supreme over the world!

It was from that moment that his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the Heavenly Emperor level.

Now, he sat cross-legged in Tanggu Valley, continuously tempering the Heavenly Dao Record with the Yin and Yang energies.

Within the Heavenly Dao Record, the intertwined Yin and Yang of the Great Desolation world and the scene of creation were constantly unfolding.

Although he had already evolved the Great Desolation world within the Heavenly Dao Record, its scope and level were still insufficient.

Now, he used the Heaven-Opening Mark as his own comprehension, and his own Dao as the power of creation, causing the Great Desolation world to continuously expand.

While it still couldn't compare to the true Great Desolation world, as the Great Desolation world expanded, the level of the Heavenly Dao Record also continuously improved.

Whether it was Cao Yusheng's Heaven-Piercing Underworld Treasure or Emperor Zun's Immortal Ascension Cauldron, they had all undergone similar transformations.

The level of Ultimate Emperor Weapons continuously rose, eventually breaking through limits and transforming into true Immortal Artifacts.

Among these, the most crucial was undoubtedly the Great Dao of the Heavenly Emperor level!

The Yin Yang Great Dao was inscribed within the Heavenly Dao Record, intertwining with the Primordial Violet Qi to form the core of the Heavenly Dao Record.

"Rumble!"

With a massive roar, an immense Heavenly Tribulation descended. Terrifying lightning continuously struck the Heavenly Dao Record.

The Heavenly Dao Record surged upwards, crashing into the boundless sea of lightning, and a vast world then appeared.

This world was initially blurry but gradually became clear, suppressing the heavens and earth, and was even larger than the boundless sea of lightning.

As time passed, the Heavenly Tribulation grew more terrifying. The Heavenly Dao Record shook under the bombardment of lightning, even beginning to show scars.

From the Ziwei Star Domain outwards, all living beings in the universe felt a terrifying aura that sent chills down their spines.

"What on earth is happening? Is someone undergoing a Great Emperor Tribulation?"

"Impossible! Haotian the Great Emperor is still here! Who could possibly achieve Dao and become an Emperor at this time?"

"Look! Within the boundless sea of lightning, there's a divine diagram. Is that Haotian the Great Emperor's Emperor Weapon?"

No one knew exactly what was happening, but the terrifying aura emanating from the boundless sea of lightning could not be faked.

Some speculated that Haotian the Great Emperor, after accumulating for so long, was finally beginning his journey on the Immortal Ascension Path to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Others speculated that Haotian the Great Emperor might be about to advance further and was being rejected by heaven and earth, thus triggering the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.

"This is the forging of an Immortal Artifact!"

Shock filled Laozi's eyes. While others didn't understand what was happening, he could see it clearly.

Haotian the Great Emperor had sat in Tanggu Valley for many years, continuously gathering Yin and Yang energies to forge his Ultimate Emperor Weapon.

He had originally wondered, since Ultimate Emperor Weapons were already the most powerful weapons in the world, what was the use of further refining them?

Only when the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation descended did he suddenly realize that Haotian the Great Emperor was forging an Immortal Artifact!

In this universe, Immortal Artifacts are not unheard of. For example, the legendary Desolate Pagoda and Immortal Bell are peerless Immortal Artifacts.

But these Immortal Artifacts are said to have been left behind by Immortals, and no one has ever heard of anyone forging an Immortal Artifact.

Now he saw it – Haotian the Great Emperor could actually forge an Immortal Artifact?

Although the Immortal Artifact was not yet complete, the fact that it could cause Heaven and Earth to bring down a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation already explained many things.

As long as the Heavenly Tribulation was successfully overcome, a new Immortal Artifact would appear in the world!

However, what shocked him was, just how powerful was Haotian the Great Emperor to be able to forge an Immortal Artifact?

Could it be that Haotian the Great Emperor had already become an Immortal, and that was why he could forge an Immortal Artifact?

In the boundless sea of lightning, Ying Hao did not fight back against the Heavenly Tribulation. Instead, he allowed the Heavenly Dao Record to be continuously bombarded by the lightning.

This was a necessary step for its transformation into an Immortal Artifact. Only through the tempering of Heaven and Earth could the highest imprints be carved.

After an unknown amount of time, the Heavenly Dao Record suddenly vibrated, and the brilliant Immortal Light surged several times. The vast world became incredibly real.

It was done!

A smile appeared on Ying Hao's face. After the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao Record had finally completed its final transformation.

Within the Heavenly Dao Record, the Great Desolation world was primitive. Heaven and Earth were indistinguishable, with no up, down, east, or west, only chaotic Yin Yang.

But at this moment, the world trembled. Yang energy rose, creating Heaven. Yin energy sank, creating Earth.

Heaven and Earth had just appeared. Although the sun, moon, and mountains had not yet formed, their outlines were already visible.

Undoubtedly, this was a crucial step in the path of transformation, a sign of the Great Desolation world truly taking shape.

The next moment, the Heavenly Dao Record shot up into the sky, like a cow drinking water, it swallowed the boundless sea of lightning. The Heavenly Tribulation instantly dissipated.

The transformation was complete. From this point on, the Heavenly Dao Record was no longer an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, but an Immortal Artifact!
