Chapter 298 - 298: Lightning Tribulation
Fang Hong immediately cast several restrictions on that wisp of Immortal Origin Power to prevent it from dissipating.
Then, he took out a specially made jade bottle and carefully collected the wisp of Immortal Origin Power into it.
He planned to refine the remaining four clusters of Immortal Qi into Immortal Origin Power before integrating them all into the Swift Wind Wings, as this was the only way to completely transform the Swift Wind Wings.
Fang Hong consumed some advanced Origin Recovery Pills and began to close his eyes to recover his Magic Power.
When Fang Hong realized that Immortal Qi was difficult to refine, he had already refined some Origin Recovery Pills in advance as a safeguard; these pills could quickly restore Magic Power, saving some time.
After resting for a while, Fang Hong's Magic Power returned to its peak state.
He began to refine the second cluster of Immortal Qi, and a new round of long and tedious refining journey thus began.
Amidst the monotonous refining, four years passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Artifact Refining Room, Fang Hong successfully refined all five clusters of Immortal Qi into pure Immortal Origin Power.
This was probably the longest time he had spent on artifact refining in all his years of cultivation, taking a full five years in total.
Next to the Fusion Array, Fang Hong slowly opened his eyes, his internal Magic Power having once again returned to its peak state.
"The time is ripe."
Fang Hong sighed, and then he moved the Swift Wind Wings to the center of the formation.
Fang Hong flicked his fingertip, opened the jade bottle spiritual artifact, drew out one strand of Immortal Origin, and then slowly wrapped it around the surface of the Swift Wind Wings.
Sizzle. Sizzle. Sizzle.
As soon as the Swift Wind Wings touched the Immortal Origin strand, it instantly erupted with dazzling light, electric arcs flashed, and it was tempered by the Immortal Power bit by bit, slowly transforming towards a higher level.
As the tempering continued, the Origin Qi fluctuations around the Swift Wind Wings became increasingly intense.
Fang Hong dared not be negligent in the slightest, continuously outputting his own Magic Power, guiding the Immortal Origin strand to circulate within the wings.
He had to be careful, otherwise, with the slightest mistake, the Swift Wind Wings might completely collapse due to being unable to withstand the violent impact of the Immortal Origin Power.
With his current cultivation, he always had confidence; as long as he proceeded steadily, completing this tempering would not be difficult.
Thus, Fang Hong worked tirelessly day and night in the Artifact Refining Room of his Immortal Cave, persisting for a full month.
When the last strand of Immortal Origin was successfully refined into the core part of the Swift Wind Wings, he finally let out a long breath and stopped the continuous output of magic power.
At this moment, the Swift Wind Wings were tightly wrapped in a layer of platinum Immortal Light, looking radiant, though their appearance had not changed much compared to before.
But Fang Hong could clearly feel that a trace of pure Immortal Power was already contained within the wings.
The aura that originally belonged to a heavenly spiritual treasure was gradually fading, replaced by a more powerful, purer Immortal Artifact pressure.
The Swift Wind Wings had officially broken free from the spiritual treasure level and began to transform into a true Immortal Artifact!
Fang Hong's eyes were full of anticipation as he stared intently at the Swift Wind Wings.
"Only a few steps left. As long as all the remaining Immortal Origin strands are refined in, I will truly possess an Immortal Artifact of my own."
Fang Hong reined in his excited mind, rested briefly, and cultivated to recover his Magic Power.
Afterward, he once again took out the second strand of Immortal Origin, injected it into the Swift Wind Wings, and continued to temper it until it completely transformed.
Time quietly slipped away amidst the daily tempering, and in a blink of an eye, another four months passed.
The moment Fang Hong successfully refined the last strand of Immortal Origin into the Swift Wind Wings, he finally stopped his movements, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Four months of hard work had not been in vain; all the Immortal Origin strands had integrated into the wings, and the Swift Wind Wings had finally completed its transformation.
Just then, above the Immortal Cave where Fang Hong was located, a huge cloud vortex suddenly gathered without any warning.
Black dark clouds rapidly spread, obscuring the entire sky, and the sound of thunder and lightning was incessant.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi also became extremely violent, madly converging towards the cloud vortex, forming a heart-palpitating pressure that spread throughout the entire Holy Land.
The Elders and disciples in the Holy Land, feeling this pressure, all stopped what they were doing and looked up towards the direction of Fang Hong's Immortal Cave, their faces filled with awe.
A white-haired Elder stroked his beard and muttered, "Looking at this commotion, Grand Elder Fang Hong must be cultivating some formidable Lightning technique again, right?"
"Only a cultivation like Grand Elder's can cause such terrifying Heaven and Earth phenomena."
However, they did not know that Fang Hong was not cultivating Lightning technique at all at this moment, but rather the Swift Wind Wings had successfully advanced to become an Immortal Artifact.
The Artifact Refining Room where Fang Hong was located was connected to the internal space of the years pearl; the years pearl could clearly perceive the changes in the outside world, so he also sensed the anomaly in the sky immediately.
His heart stirred, and he immediately put away the Swift Wind Wings, shot out from the Artifact Refining Room, hovered in mid-air, and looked up at the cloud vortex in the sky, his expression inevitably a little surprised.
"This... what's going on?"
"Looking at this situation, the sky is actually brewing a Lightning Tribulation? Could it be that the moment an Immortal Artifact is forged, it will also attract a Lightning Tribulation?" Fang Hong frowned slightly.
This completely exceeded Fang Hong's expectations; he had previously consulted many ancient texts on artifact refining, but had never seen any record of Immortal Artifact advancement attracting Lightning Tribulation.
However, Fang Hong quickly calmed down.
Although this Lightning Tribulation looked grand in momentum, it was still more than one level below a true True Immortal Tribulation.
With his current strength, dealing with it should not be a problem.
Just as Fang Hong was deep in thought, a loud sound echoed.
Bang.
A thick bolt of lightning fiercely struck down from the cloud vortex, carrying a world-destroying aura, directly shooting towards Fang Hong.
Fang Hong dared not be careless, immediately activated his Magic Power, and seventy-two Nirvana Divine Thunders instantly flew out from his body, forming a defensive formation in the air, preparing to completely shatter this Lightning Tribulation.
But just then, a seven-colored stream of light suddenly flew out from Fang Hong's years pearl, blocking his path at an extremely fast speed—it was Little Rainbow.
Before Fang Hong could react, the lightning had already struck Little Rainbow's body with full force, emitting a dazzling light.
"Little Rainbow, quickly get out of the way. I can handle this Lightning Tribulation myself, you... huh?" Fang Hong hurriedly shouted.
However, before he could finish speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
He actually saw Little Rainbow with her eyes closed, looking utterly blissful, happily devouring that Lightning Tribulation.
He saw that when the lightning touched Little Rainbow's body, it did not cause her any harm; instead, it was devoured and absorbed by Little Rainbow bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, that originally mighty bolt of lightning was completely devoured by Little Rainbow, leaving not even a trace of its aftershock.
