Nine days later, there was a sudden outburst of endless vital energy from Austin's body.
His black hair began fluttering due to the power that accompanied the explosion. It was as if he were facing a storm.
Then law chains fell from the void and tied up Austin on the spot.
Slowly, the vital energy began dissolving into the law chains and producing the aura of the pill.
The aura of the pill completely engulfed Austin after a while.
Two hours later, the surging aura around him began shrinking down at a rapid rate.
It finally took the shape of a divine pill and was then suspended in the void.
No trace of Austin was visible. Where he used to be, a divine pill was floating around.
"That's amazing. Master, I have really turned into a magic pill."
Austin's voice emanated from inside the pill.
"Yes, and the pill you have turned into is extremely rare. In fact, it is the most valuable one ever made in the entire Sea of Chaos.
Even a governing god would see an impossible increase in his strength if he were to get his hands on it.
But back to you though... You can enter the pot now.
However, keep in mind that this is equivalent to the process of rebirth. You must stay awake. If you fall asleep or lose consciousness, you might be turned into an actual divine pill. When that happens, even I won't be able to save you,"
the statue reminded him.
"I got it, master,"
Austin replied.
As if it were alive, which it was, the divine pill Austin had turned into flew towards the pill-refining pot, which was already ablaze with a strange kind of fire.
"This fire is astounding!"
As soon as he entered the pot, Austin felt the billowing flames engulf him completely and immediately and a blast of unbearable heat hit him. The fire was strong enough to cause him pain.
The fire was abnormally hot. It was worse than anything Austin had ever come across and he had a feeling that the divine pill he had turned into was about to melt.
That was precisely what happened. Several waves of tremendous pain washed over Austin. He felt like he were a ghost who was now being tortured in the depths of hellfire.
He held on with immense will for a while, and finally melted into a puddle. The pain was increasing every moment and he finally couldn't keep it in any longer.
"Argh..."
he roared in anguish.
The fire was so horrible that even he couldn't stand the pain that its flames inflicted. And it never went away. The pain was there the whole time.
An hour later, the liquid once again turned into a pill.
But that wasn't it. The process had to be repeated several times over. With equally searing blasts of pain, Austin turned into a puddle once again and was then again re-made into a pill.
His body was being refined constantly. Every time it melted, it was refined, and the process had to be repeated hundreds of times.
No one knew just how much pain he suffered during the process.
Even his spiritual soul also went through great pain.
The fire in the pot had come into existence when the Sea of Chaos was created. Its power had grown to a terrifying level now and it kept on burning Austin's spiritual soul. He could feel the fire trying to burn up his mind.
That was the main reason he had to stay conscious the whole time.
Fortunately, his spiritual soul had long fused with the spiritual tree, the spiritual heart, the spiritual dragon, and the Chaotic Ice Lotus. This allowed it to remain intact, even though it was under incredible pressure.
Time passed slowly.
Austin finally began to get used to the process.
At the same time, things outside were going exactly as he had left them.
The members of the alliance were carrying out their missions in the Sea of Chaos without hiding their whereabouts.
The semi-governing gods of the six super forces hadn't shown their faces after their terrible defeat in the Tribulation Universe Community.
They were genuinely scared of Austin now.
They had come to realize that the man was a formidable opponent and they could not win the fight.
Their enemy was much stronger than most semi-governing gods.
Therefore, they didn't dare to mess with him.
The six super forces also kept silent after hearing about the semi-governing gods' defeat.
For a few weeks, nothing significant happened in the Sea of Chaos.
The creatures and the worlds began thriving in peace.
But one day, it was all disturbed.
Out of nowhere, a hundreds of millions of feet tall figure appeared outside the Ice Palace, which was currently the headquarters of the alliance.
He was emitting black lights from all over his body which was shrouded in evil energy.
As soon as the figure showed up, an overwhelming energy wave swept out and enveloped millions of miles of the void.
Everything within that radius stopped working, including time, space, laws of nature etc.
