Inside the Thousand Illusions Dragon Pattern Boat, within Nine Dragon Fire Valley.
Scorching waves in the heart of the valley burned to the bone. Nine crimson volcanoes rose in an unbroken chain, lava churning within their craters and fire soaring into the sky. They resembled nine natural primordial furnaces, each searing and refining piles of rare Emperor-grade materials.
Lin Yi sat cross-legged atop the Ninth Grade White Lotus, shielding himself from the heat below as he controlled the refinement of more than a dozen materials at once.
After thoroughly deducing and perfecting the complete forging method for the Divine Demon Emperor Armor during Dreaming Reincarnation, and after spending several months gathering all the scarce primary and supplementary materials, Lin Yi chose this place to officially begin forging his personal Emperor Armor.
This Divine Demon Emperor Armor had been created specifically to suit his Divine Demon Body. Its material selection and forging methods differed vastly from the Ziwei Emperor Armor inherited from Great Emperor Zi Wei.
Aside from its complex structure and exceedingly high artifact-forging requirements,
its corresponding forging cost was even more horrifying. Gathering Black Rock Gold, Rare Fire Gold, Void Bone Marrow, Ice Cold Residual Crystal, and various other Emperor-grade materials had drained more than two hundred million Void Crystal Coins from Lin Yi's savings.
If anyone else spent such an astronomical sum to forge an artifact, they would surely be extremely cautious. Yet Lin Yi remained calm and had never once regretted the expense.
As long as the Divine Demon Emperor Armor took shape successfully, it could nourish his body in return, multiply his cultivation efficiency, and rapidly make up for the shortcomings of his Divine Demon Body. The expense would be more than worthwhile.
Besides, to him, two hundred million Void Crystal Coins was merely pocket change.
