Chapter 603 Spirit Hunting Crossbow
Outside the cave, the girls with red names suddenly discovered that there was a faint rainbow light circulating inside, as if some precious treasure was emitting a brilliant radiance within. They became even more cautious and guarded the entrance with heightened tension.
After an unknowable length of time, Tang San felt that his divine consciousness was no longer being purified and slowly retracted it.
The volume of his divine consciousness had shrunk by a full third, yet it had become even more focused and refined. As he entered the core of his Spiritual Core, he could clearly sense its solid nature, with a great amount of Spiritual Power being devoured and filtered, then transformed and directed towards the development of his divine consciousness. If Tang San wished, he could now initiate Tribulation directly through the guidance of his divine consciousness.
Of course, that was impossible. That day, when he had used the Sea God's power, he had already caused a planar rejection. To undergo Tribulation now would be a death wish. In fact, suitable places for him to undergo Tribulation on Demon Monster Land were exceedingly rare.
The refinement of his divine consciousness was naturally of great benefit to Tang San. Although the volume of his divine consciousness was much smaller than when he was in the Ancestral Court, its overall energy had already recovered to its original state, and the effects of this purification were even better than before.
In Tang San's eyes, lights flickered, and he seemed to regain some of the imposing manner he once had in the Divine Realm.
The luminescence gradually subdued, his eyes returned to a bright state, and his divine consciousness converged at the most core position within the Sea of Spirit. With just a thought, he completely concealed his divine consciousness within it.
Tang San silently sensed his Bloodline Brands, and all of them seemed to be affected to some extent. Even the Yin-Yang Double Fire Vortex seemed to have undergone some changes under the influence of the strange Heavenly Fire Fine Gold, becoming less turbulent than before.
The calmest brand was the one dominated by Jingjing, which seemed to be sleeping all the while. Even when Tang San annihilated it that one time, it remained dormant within his body, unchanged.
At that time, Tang San actually hoped that if Jingjing really had any connection to the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, it would leave his body due to his death, thereby resolving this hidden danger. But from beginning to end, the Crystal Brand didn't change at all, as if oblivious to everything.
Having completed the convergence of his divine consciousness, Tang San then turned his attention to the now drastically transformed Heavenly Fire Fine Gold.
The original Earth Shattering Hammer had disappeared, and what remained was a clump of seven-colored liquid. Yes, liquid. At this moment, the Heavenly Fire Fine Gold had turned into a seven-colored metal liquid that silently flowed across the ground. Where it passed, it did not burn the ground, yet it ascended with seven-colored flames, making it look quite extraordinary.
With a thought from Tang San, the Heavenly Fire Fine Gold liquid bounced up from the ground and floated toward him. Tang San extended his right hand, and the slightly larger-than-fist-sized clump of metal liquid settled in his palm.
It didn't feel hot to the touch, only warm, but you could still sense the peculiarities as the seven colors changed and intermingled.
This was not just a simple flame, but a mixture of them. There was blazing heat, profound depth, dissolving force, and wild ferocity.
Yet strangely, the seven different properties fused together perfectly to create this extraordinary transformation.
Tang San's palm trembled slightly, and instantly, the seven-colored liquid spread across his palm, forming into gloves.
Tang San touched a nearby piece of Black Crow Stone, and in the instant of contact, the Black Crow Stone began to melt.
Tang San drew back his hand, his heart filled with admiration. This was not a flame that belonged to the mortal world! It was a true Divine Flame.
It was a pity that in this plane, no one recognized it. In the Divine Realm, one of the artifacts of the Fire God, one of the seven elemental gods, was forged from this substance. And yet, this material existed within this plane.
The clump of seven-colored liquid now possessed a status comparable to that of an ordinary divine tool in this plane. Although Heavenly Fire Fine Gold was rare in Demon Monster Land, it seemed to be not entirely nonexistent. Otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared in that small auction before. This meant that there was a possibility for Tang San to acquire more Heavenly Fire Fine Gold. If he continued to refine it into Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid, even he didn't know the extent to which it could grow in the future.
This object had already become a part of his divine consciousness, which could be easily controlled with Spiritual Power, almost like an extension of his own thoughts.
"Interesting," Tang San smiled at the corners of his mouth as his right hand touched the Black Crow Stone.
The refinement of Black Gold was originally a very complicated process. When he used the Earth Shattering Hammer before, it also required constant hammering, using the high temperature of flames and the force of hammering to expel impurities and finally succeed in the refinement. Especially for such a large piece of Black Crow Stone, its quality was even harder than ordinary pieces, making the refining process naturally more difficult.
But at this moment, what Tang San did was just place his right hand on the Black Crow Stone.
The Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid flowed quietly, constantly infusing into the surface of the Black Crow Stone, which began to change accordingly. This change was just like the Heavenly Fire Fine Gold before, melting!
Under the action of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid, the entire Black Crow Stone began to melt. The impurities in it naturally disappeared in the melting process, leaving behind just the Black Gold inside the stone.
The Black Gold turned into a mass of liquid that flowed on the ground, and under the restriction of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid, it was prevented from flowing far away, being contained within a certain range.
This method of purification was much easier than hammer forging, and the effect seemed to be even better. The terrifyingly high temperature of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid directly turned Black Gold into its purest metal form.
Shaping was now much easier as well. Using the Lion Tiger Golden Gang in combination with the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid, Tang San shaped the huge amount of Black Gold refined from the Black Crow Stone into the shape he desired. He reabsorbed the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid directly into his body and then assembled the formed Black Gold. Refined by the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid, the quality of the Black Gold was extremely high. What was more miraculous was that it also naturally contained a trace of Tang San's Spiritual Power, making the whole metal seem like a part of his body, allowing him to feel every minor change in it naturally.
This was the strength of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid; the metal it scorched could immediately establish spiritual conduction.
The ultimate goal of metal refining was to bestow life, making the metal itself possess vitality. The metal refined by the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid also had vitality, but this life force was directly imparted by Tang San's Spiritual Power, meaning its life was like a clone of Tang San's will.
Looking at the massive finished product finally taking shape, a faint smile appeared on Tang San's lips, and then he began to inscribe formations onto it. With the presence of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid, this process became easier than ever; the originally complex formations were inscribed in a very short time under the control of his thoughts.
Finally, a giant crossbow with a width of four meters and a height of three meters appeared before Tang San, radiating a dark golden luster.
Besides that, there were three bolts lying next to it.
A heavy crossbow with three bolts.
"Let's give you a name," Tang San's mouth curved upward, "How about Spirit Hunting Crossbow?"
Looking at this completed product, he was very satisfied. He deactivated the previously arranged Isolation Formation and spoke to the outside, "Red One, you all come in."
"Yes, Master." The red-clad girls entered one after another, led by Red One, into the space.
The scorching heat had already dissipated. When they saw the heavy crossbow on the ground, they couldn't help but show surprised looks.
Red One looked at the Spirit Hunting Crossbow, then at Tang San, "Master, what is this?"
