Boom!
Blazing thunder radiance exploded on the mountaintop. Austin's body quivered when the lightning struck him as he stood there. The pain was unbearable! His whole body, even his bones clattered like they were smashed by an enormous hammer.
"Puff! Puff!"
The thunder radiance split to thousands of small lightning and wrapped Austin immediately as soon as it touched him. It melted the golden vital energy force protecting Austin and then seeped into his body through his pores.
Caught off guard, Austin felt excruciating pain spread through his body when the thunder and lightning got into him. The pain reached his veins which stimulated the cells to abruptly shrink.
"Arrrrgh!" groaned Austin as he tried to get a hold of himself through the blinding pain.
He could feel every fiber in his body aching and it was intolerable!
Thousands of lightning arcs and radiance were blasting crazily on his skin, making him look like a glowing hedgehog.
Nonetheless, it was still fortunate for Austin that this thunder radiance counteracted against the Thunder Unicorn's beast soul that was covering his skin. Thus, it decreased the damage by almost half.
Moreover, the way the lightning and thunder entered his body stimulated the Thunder Elixir inside him. It burst into a silver light and at the same time produced a strong suction. It acted like a sponge and soon, it absorbed ridiculous lightning that was burning him.
The torment only lasted for a quarter of an hour before the Thunder Elixir entirely absorbed all its energy.
It was raining heavily but Austin remained dry. It turned out that the light golden vital energy surrounding him was so strong that it could evaporate any liquid before it even touched him.
This ability was all because of the Scorching Evil Fire. He had gained the original power of it after cultivating it. Now there was nothing in this world he couldn't burn, let alone just raindrops.
Austin could still feel how numb and shock his body was due to the thunder and lightning. He shook his head and sighed. This cultivating method was indeed self-abusive and torturous.
Nonetheless, he wouldn't even flinch doing it again if he needed to. An idea popped into his mind when he looked up the sky and saw the countless lightning dancing crazily like snakes in the midair. He took another deep breath and silently commanded his aura. A split-second passed and then the Thunder Elixir shot lightning as thick as an arm into the sky.
Boom!
What happened next wasn't anything new. The thunderbolt Austin triggered created a reaction with the lightning above him and then again, struck towards his direction.
"Arghhh!"
Miserable groans escaped Austin's lips because of the murderous lightning bolt. He immediately hauled the Thunder Elixir to absorb the energy tearing his whole body.
He did the same things for the whole hour again and again until the rain had stopped and the flashes of lightning were gone.
The ordeal left Austin like a roasted lamb. His body was reeking of burnt meat and his hair was standing from his scalp, making him looked like a hedgehog.
"Oh, gracious! Good that it's over!" he sighed in relief.
As soon as Austin opened his mouth to speak, a thick smoke came out together with his breathing. Obviously, he was burned inside and out.
"Shoot! I'm so close to being a roasted pig!"
A bitter smile cracked Austin's lips as he shook his head.
It was a good thing though that he survived. Moreover, he could feel how much the Thunder Elixir was greatly enhanced after all the energy it had absorbed.
This dangerous situation made him better in mastering thunder and lightning.
