Lightning Tribulation Forging a Weapon!

Ji Hao's gaze flickered. Even without activating the Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes, a supreme aura brewed within his eyes. Stepping through the Mysterious Steps into the high heavens, he sat cross-legged in the Void, submerged beneath the sea of lightning. For the moment, however, it could not harm him.

He resisted the Lightning Tribulation as his eyes flickered. A ringing sound arose, and his pupils resembled silver moons, a deep, shadowy silver. Time around him slowed, allowing him to clearly see lightning suffused with chaotic energy. It spread like branch after branch, striking toward Ji Hao.

Supreme symbols emerged within his pupils. One pupil turned azure, and the Void exploded. Layer upon layer of space overlapped, trapping the Lightning Tribulation like a mosquito encased in amber.

Then, with a movement of his eye, the lightning turned into specks of chaotic energy, which Ji Hao seized with his great hand.

The heavenly eye between his brows activated on its own, its passive ability functioning even without divine power driving it.

He could clearly see the Dao and principles contained within the Lightning Tribulation.

He was using the power of the heavenly eye to capture the "Dao marks" between heaven and earth, comprehending the Dao directly within the Heavenly Tribulation!

So long as he wished it, he could channel divine power into the heavenly eye and directly see all the hidden laws of heaven and earth.

It could be called a divine artifact for comprehending the Dao!

If the world learned of this, they would surely go mad. Ever since the Desolate Ancient Era descended, the laws of heaven and earth had concealed themselves, and comprehending the Dao was no longer as convenient as it had been during the Primordial Era.

Yet a single heavenly eye could effortlessly capture the laws and principles between heaven and earth without even being activated. It was truly astonishing.

Unfortunately, he was still far too weak. Otherwise, it would not have been impossible for him to directly perceive the most fundamental Heavenheart Imprint of the universe.

Perceiving the myriad Daos of heaven and earth was equivalent to cultivating before the Great Dao itself. One could easily imagine that his cultivation speed would not be slow—indeed, it would only become faster and faster.

With a thought from Ji Hao, the Tai Chi Diagram emerged from within his Sea of Bitterness. Yin and yang energies intertwined, sometimes transforming into a golden bridge and sometimes into a divine diagram, ever-changing and unfathomable.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Hao sent the intercepted chaotic energy into the Eternal Blue Gold Sword he had just taken out, turning the area into a hazy expanse.

It was said that when ancient Great Emperors forged weapons, they would draw down Chaos Divine Thunder for tempering. Naturally, the Chaos Divine Thunder drawn by a Great Emperor could not possibly compare to Ji Hao's Heavenly Tribulation.

Ji Hao summoned the Saint Spirit Furnace and threw the Eternal Blue Gold Sword into it. Nine-Colored Divine Fire boiled within the furnace.

The azure immortal gold was swiftly melted down. The killing intent left behind by the Void Emperor had long since been dissolved by Ji Hao using his own blood.

A mass of blue-glowing immortal gold liquid floated within the furnace. While resisting the Lightning Tribulation, Ji Hao guided Chaos Divine Thunder into the Saint Spirit Furnace for another round of refinement.

"Rumble!"

A distant explosion rang out. Lightning and fire collided, nearly blowing the Saint Spirit Furnace apart.

Ji Hao threw the crude embryo of the Tai Chi Diagram into the furnace, merging it with the Eternal Blue Gold. Chaotic energy flowed as the two gradually melted beneath the pressure of Chaos Divine Thunder and Nine-Colored Divine Fire, carrying an air of returning to simplicity and achieving the Dao naturally.

Nine-Colored Divine Fire surged. He used his divine sense as restraints and the power of heaven and earth as his forge. His spiritual power transformed into a tangible little figure, swinging the hammer of heaven and earth to continuously temper the Tai Chi Diagram.

It was worth mentioning that Ji Hao's divine sense had greatly increased. It was no weaker than that of a mighty cultivator, even though he was only at the Four Extremes realm. It had also changed from its former golden color into a bright silver, clearly an effect of the heavenly eye.

Phenomena appeared around Ji Hao. A Golden Crow rose while a jade rabbit descended, and yin and yang power merged together, firmly protecting him.

Ji Hao's control over his phenomena had grown increasingly proficient. He had even begun merging them and making them his own.

Bolts of Chaos Divine Thunder, carrying the force of creation itself, continuously struck the Tai Chi circle where yin and yang alternated. They were absorbed and transformed into the Saint Spirit Furnace, accelerating the formation of the Tai Chi Diagram.

"Rumble!"

Seeing that Chaos Divine Thunder could no longer pose any threat to Ji Hao, a new change appeared in the sky. A majestic palace emerged.

Lightning flashed as Emperor Weapons condensed one after another: the Undying Heavenly Blade, the Beginningless Bell, the Green Lotus Emperor Weapon, the Swallowing Heaven Demon Jar, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, the Psychic Nether Treasure, the Primordial Emperor Sword, the Divine Spirit Battle Garment, and the Desolate Pagoda.

The quality of these Emperor Weapons was clearly far greater than before. Either they possessed peerless offensive power, or they were Heavenly Emperor Weapons. There were even two or three Immortal Artifacts among them.

Dazzling divine light erupted from the Saint Spirit Furnace.

"It's finally complete!" Ji Hao exclaimed.

The Tai Chi Diagram emerged from the furnace and floated above Ji Hao's head. It was circular, with black and white colors entwining and interweaving, opposed yet unified. It contained the meaning of the Dao following nature and the balance of all things.

The Tai Chi Diagram changed, transforming into an Other Shore Golden Bridge containing the meaning of transcendence. It charged forward without restraint, taking the initiative to suppress the many Emperor Weapons and even the Immortal Artifacts in the heavens!

"Boom!"

Sparks flew as powerful fluctuations erupted. The Other Shore Golden Bridge was sent flying back and transformed once more into the Tai Chi Diagram. Yet two weapons had appeared within the diagram: the Primordial Emperor Sword and the Divine Spirit Battle Garment.

Yin and yang energies transformed into a great millstone, continuously grinding the two weapons and integrating the principles within them into the Tai Chi Diagram.

Streams of immortal light circulated, making the Tai Chi Diagram appear ever more extraordinary.

Ji Hao stretched and said, "Let me stretch a little!"

Yin and yang energies surged from the Golden Crow and jade rabbit. The two phenomena, Golden Crow Rising from Fusang and Bright Moon Rising over the Sea, nearly merged into one.

The phenomena merged with the Tai Chi Diagram. The "doors" within Ji Hao's body continuously opened, unleashing endless potential as he raised his hand and formed seals once more.

"Taiji Seal!"

The Void shattered. Yin and yang energies continuously intertwined, colliding with the enraged Lightning Tribulation. Divine weapons flew through the air, lightning exploded, and the terrifying fluctuations far surpassed those from before.

Ji Hao now appeared completely at ease. Silver-white temporal power erupted from his pupils, turning everything around him black and white. All things froze.

However, this also consumed a massive amount of his divine power. Ignoring the depletion, he immediately brought forth the Saint Spirit Furnace and sealed the Emperor Weapons within the Lightning Tribulation. After all, these Emperor Weapons contained portions of Great Emperor laws and possessed endless uses.

Whether used for comprehension or integrated into a weapon, they would be immensely useful.

"Bang!"

The lid of the Saint Spirit Furnace shook continuously, as though it could no longer contain those Emperor Weapons formed from lightning.

Ji Hao hurriedly placed the Tai Chi Diagram inside to suppress the projections of the Emperor Weapons. The Tai Chi Diagram was particularly effective in this regard, after all, as it possessed the ability to suppress the myriad worlds and stabilize earth, water, fire, and wind.

Meanwhile, the Lightning Tribulation was thoroughly enraged.

A sudden change occurred in the sea of lightning. Majestic palaces emerged one after another. Within one palace that circulated Imperial Dragon Aura stood a humanoid figure wearing a crown and leaning on a sword. Imperial Dragon Aura coiled around his body as he radiated overwhelming pressure, coldly staring at Ji Hao!

Even the Lightning Tribulation calmed because of his appearance.

Nor was that all. Beneath an emerald-green nine-story tower, a female emperor appeared, radiating endless majesty. It was as if she had merged with the myriad Daos of heaven and earth. With every gesture, countless laws were mobilized!

A fire phoenix also soared into the heavens, transforming into a divine furnace like a blazing sun illuminating all things. A valiant middle-aged man stood there.

"Taihuang! Western Empress! Hengyu Great Emperor!"
