Refining Sky Demon Phoenix Wings
Lin Ming was the only one left in the hall. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his mind racing.
With the war over, the crisis of the Jia Ma Empire was temporarily averted, but the feud with the Soul Hall was now permanently established.
Having already captured Protector Wu, he has now captured a deacon and two Protector. Although he didn't kill them, their Soul Imprint in the Soul Hall won't be extinguished, temporarily delaying the Soul Hall from receiving the exact information. However, the revenge of this behemoth will come sooner or later. Therefore, he must improve his strength as soon as possible and arrange an escape route for his family and the Jia Ma Empire.
Upon realizing this, Lin Ming's soul immediately surged forth, setting up a Soul Barrier in the hall.
After setting up the barrier, Lin Ming once again focused his mind, and instantly a huge, dried-up Magical Beasts beast corpse lay flat in the center of the hall.
The mummy was preserved remarkably well, especially the pair of bone wings that, even when retracted, still evoked the image of them blotting out the sky when unfolded, and the claws that gleamed with a dim yet still sharp and cold light, all of which demonstrated its power and nobility in life.
The appearance of the mummified Magical Beasts corpse filled the air with an ancient and savage pressure. Although the source of this pressure had lost its Life Aura, the dignity and power belonging to a top-tier Magical Beasts still remained in every inch of its flesh and bones.
This Magical Beasts is none other than the Sky Demon Phoenix Mummified Corpse that Lin Ming obtained from the Black Emperor Sect!
Lin Ming stood before the mummified corpse, his eyes burning with fervor. In his hand, he held a pale blue scroll, upon which a faint current of energy flowed, as if condensing the Extreme Wind. This was the spoils he had plundered from the fallen Yan Luo Tian Storage Ring —the secret technique of the Golden Goose Sect, the method for crafting the <Sky Goose Nine Line Wings>!
"The Sky Goose Nine Line Wings... Using a special secret method, it fuses the wing materials of powerful Flying Magical Beast, supplemented by Magic Core and Essence Blood as catalysts, to forge Flying Fighting Skill that is as responsive as an arm and incredibly fast." Lin Ming carefully studied the information on the scroll, full of admiration. This secret method was truly ingenious; the wings it forged were not merely tools, but were connected to the user's bloodline, as if they grew naturally, providing an extremely terrifying boost to speed. And the final speed it could achieve depended entirely on the quality of the wings themselves.
The Sky Demon Phoenix! A hegemon-level being in the Magical Beast World, capable of rivaling the Ancient Void Dragon! Its Bloodline Power is incredibly strong, especially known for its speed; with a flap of its wings, it can soar through the heavens, chasing the wind and lightning.
Using its wings to forge the "Sky Goose Nine Line Wings" is a perfect match! Lin Ming is absolutely confident that once it is successfully forged, its speed will be unmatched even by some High-Rank Dou Zong, which will be a great help to him in his future adventures in the Middle Continent!
"The wings of ordinary Flying Magical Beast probably can't even unleash one-tenth of the power of this secret technique. But with the wings of the Sky Demon Phoenix, hehe... all the trouble we went through back then was worth it!" Lin Ming's gaze fell on the Sky Demon Phoenix's pair of magnificent and powerful bone wings, and his breathing became a little rapid.
Without delay, Lin Ming suppressed his excitement and unleashed his Soul Power, which, like the most precise surgical scalpel, began to carefully process the incomparably precious mummified Sky Demon Phoenix Mummified Corpse.
First and foremost, the most important task was to remove the pair of Phoenix Wings.
Lin Ming, with the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame swirling around his fingertips, combined with his Soul Power and Dou Qi, carefully and perfectly separated the muscles, meridians, and even bone marrow at the connection point, finally successfully removing a pair of flawless Sky Demon Phoenix Bone Wings, with bones as clear as jade and gleaming with a dark golden luster.
Even after detaching from the main body, these bone wings still exuded a heart-palpitating aura, vaguely revealing their magnificent power at their peak, with wingspans covering the sky and soaring ninety thousand miles into the heavens!
After removing the Phoenix Wings, the Essence Blood could be extracted from the entire mummified corpse. Lin Ming didn't delay any longer; the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame immediately landed on the massive body of the mummified corpse, and then the purplish-red flames surged up.
With a sizzling sound, the entire massive Magical Beasts corpse began to shrink under the burning of the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame. Seeing this, Lin Ming immediately increased the firepower, and finally, Lin Ming extracted four drops of cyan- Sky Demon Phoenix Essence Blood and an irregular crystal about the size of a fist, which was also cyan-red.
As the blue-red blood and crystals appeared, the sounds of wind and thunder immediately filled the room, and the energy in the entire room became violent, with wind-elemental energy spontaneously converging.
Seeing this, Lin Ming immediately waved his hand, dispelling them all, and then collected the four drops of blood and the Magic Core of the Sky Demon Phoenix.
After finishing all that, Lin Ming was just about to begin refining these peerless wings according to the secret method of the <Sky Goose Nine Line Wings> when --
"Buzz!"
The solid Soul Barrier within the secret chamber immediately rippled!
"Lin Ming! What the hell are you doing in there? Why is there a smell that's making me extremely uncomfortable?!" Beneath the ripples, a clear yet intensely dissatisfied and irritable voice came from outside the barrier.
Lin Ming was taken aback, then smiled helplessly and waved his hand to open a barrier entrance, allowing Zi Yan to enter.
Seeing the opened entrance to the barrier, Zi Yan immediately puffed out her cheeks and stormed in angrily. Her large, amethyst-like eyes first swept across the secret chamber, and then instantly locked onto the pair of dark golden Sky Demon Phoenix Bone Wings and the pile of withered bones left over from the Sky Demon Phoenix's refining process.
"Hmph! It really does smell like those annoying flat-feathered birds!" Zi Yan wrinkled her small nose, her face full of disgust and a resistance that came from the depths of her blood.
"It smells awful! Lin Ming, why did you get this dead bird stuff?"
Although she said she hated it, her gaze was unconsciously drawn to the pair of bone wings, and a hint of solemnity, which she herself did not realize, flashed deep in her eyes. Even she had to admit that this Sky Demon Phoenix was powerful.
Lin Ming patiently explained, "This is a secret method for crafting Flying Fighting Skill, requiring powerful wings as materials. The wings of this Sky Demon Phoenix are currently the best choice."
"Use the wings of this scruffy bird to refine Flying Fighting Skill?" Zi Yan tilted her head, seemingly understanding. At the same time, as if she had thought of something, her gaze immediately shifted from the bone wings and began to scan the pile of dry bones. Finally, her gaze settled on the ten bones that gleamed with a cold, sharp light.
Those ten bone tips exuded an invincible sharpness.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. Pointing to the ten bone tips, she said, "Lin Ming, these ten bone tips are sharp and look quite hard. You don't need them anyway, right? Can I have them? I want to make a fist out of them."
After speaking, Zi Yan waved her little fist, making a whistling sound in the wind.
"Okay, here you go." Lin Ming said without the slightest hesitation.
"Hehe, Lin Ming, you're so kind!" Zi Yan immediately picked up the ten bone tips with a delighted expression.
Zi Yan picked up the cool, dark gold bone tip and immediately began to play with it with obvious delight. Her previous dissatisfaction with the Sky Demon Phoenix's aura had long since vanished. She imagined herself wearing these gauntlets, smashing her enemies into tears with a single punch, her purple eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Hehe, Lin Ming, you can take your time with your bird wings! I'm going to find someone to make my boxing gloves!" After playing with them for a while, Zi Yan couldn't wait to say this to Lin Ming before excitedly rushing out of the hall.
With Zi Yan's departure, the barrier closed again, and the hall returned to silence.
Lin Ming took a deep breath, his gaze becoming focused and serious once again.
After arranging the auxiliary materials for refining the Phoenix Wings one by one, Lin Ming did not delay any longer. He immediately formed a profound hand seal and began to activate his Dou Qi and Soul Power according to the secret method of the <Sky Goose Nine Line Wings>.
"Laugh!"
A wisp of Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame rose from his palm, but he controlled the temperature to an extremely precise level, enough to temper the materials without damaging their essence.
Then, Lin Ming's gaze sharpened, and he had the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame directly envelop and temper the entire Phoenix Wings!
"Buzz--!"
The moment the Phoenix Wings touched the flames, a sudden change occurred!
On the Phoenix Wings, the natural patterns suddenly lit up, as if they had been activated. A savage will far stronger than before erupted, even faintly forming a blurry phantom of the Sky Demon Phoenix, emitting a silent shriek, resisting the refining!
This is the indomitable will that remains within the bone wings of the Sky Demon Phoenix! As the overlord of the sky, even in death, its wings will not be desecrated by others!
Upon seeing this, Lin Ming's eyes sharpened, and his fighting Dou Qi erupted without reservation, causing the power of the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame to suddenly increase!
"A mere inanimate object dares to act so violently?! Refine it!"
The terrifying Power of Exotic Flame and the immense Soul Power attacked simultaneously, fiercely impacting the illusory will of the demonic Demon Phoenix. Within the barrier, energies collided wildly, emitting a hissing sound.
This battle of wills lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Finally, faced with the destructive Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame and Lin Ming's unwavering will, the remnant will of the Sky Demon Phoenix let out a mournful cry of unwillingness and completely dissipated.
The dissipated Sky Demon Phoenix transformed into a pure Soul Power, causing Lin Ming, who came into contact with it, to feel a refreshing coolness in his soul, instantly erasing the fatigue from the previous collision. Furthermore, it even strengthened Lin Ming's soul.
It is extremely rare that it could even improve Lin Ming's soul in the Spirit Realm.
As the coolness dissipated from his soul, Lin Ming looked at the Demon Phoenix Wings, which had lost their will to resist, and immediately began to temper them even more fiercely with the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame. At the same time, he also refined the necessary auxiliary materials according to the steps.
Finally, under Lin Ming's refinement, a ball of energy shimmering with a faint golden hue flowed like Hundred Rivers Return to Sea, rapidly and smoothly penetrating every inch of the bone wings and every pattern.
The bone wings began to emit a warm, jade-like luster, and the patterns on them became clearer and more mysterious, as if they had come to life, and they subtly formed a strange connection with Lin Ming's aura.
As night passed and the last bit of energy was absorbed by the bone wings, the light in the secret chamber gradually dimmed.
A pair of magnificent bone wings, shrunk several times in size and only ten feet long, with a streamlined dark gold color and crystal-clear bones, with natural patterns on them as if engraved by an artist, and the edges shimmering with faint wind and thunder light, floated quietly in front of Lin Ming.
It no longer exudes the Corpse Qi of a dried-up corpse, but is instead filled with Spirituality, power, and an ultimate sense of speed and beauty!
Lin Ming gazed at the wings, which were nothing short of works of art, his eyes filled with joy and anticipation. He could clearly sense the terrifying speed potential contained within them.
The Flying Fighting Skill of the Sky Demon Phoenix Wings is complete!
