EMPEROR 12 ELEMENT S2
CH 21: Survive and Remain Defensive

"Pill Obstacle?" ask Elder Xianyi.

"Right, it's a Pill Obstacle!" replied the Medicine Elder convincingly.

"Didn't Evan just concoct an eighth-grade medicine? Why would he be able to bring up Pill Obstacle?" elder Xianyi asked completely not understanding.

"Well, Evan should be concocting an eighth-grade medicine. But it seemed, Evan turned the supposed eighth level medicine into a holy level medicine. Hence, the Pill Obstacle had finally appeared!" said the Drug Elder.

Meanwhile, in the room of the Alchemist. Evan was purifying the pill with his Magic Fire.

Although the situation outside the Alchemist room was very noisy, but Evan still purified the pill with focus without any disturbance.

*Sister Lightning, do you know what is going on outside? Why so noisy?* asked Evan to the Elements through his consciousness.

*nothing. It's just the Pill Obstacle you will face for successfully refining a Holy level Pill!* replied Lightning Element.

*Pill Obstacle? I've never heard of anything like that before. Can Brother Lightning explain to me, what Pill Obstacle is?* asked Evan.

*the Pill Resistance is a rare natural phenomenon, what else in this mortal world. When a Holy Level Pill will be formed, it will bring up Pill Obstacles that will test how high the quality of the Pill is. The Pill Obstacle consists of five lightning strikes that will represent each level. Low, medium, high, perfect and super level!* replied Lightning Element explained.

*Here I have two good news and one bad news. Where do you want to hear first?* continued the Lightning Element asked Evan.

*Three news at once? All right, I want to hear the good news first!* said Evan.

*The good news is first. From the power of the lightning I feel right now you have a great chance to create a Holy level Pill of perfect quality. The second good news. It looks like you can increase your body strength to level four by utilizing the lightning power of the Lightning Resistance" the Lightning Element told Evan.

Hearing the two good news, Evan was delighted. But amidst the excitement, Evan was anxious about the bad news that the Lightning Element would say.

*Alright, then, what about the bad news?* asked Evan without distracting him from the Alchemist Furnace.

*The bad news is, you have a 90 percent failure rate!" the reply to the Lightning Element made Evan feel extremely shocked.

*v*Ninety Percent of Failure?!*

*yeah. At that time, you will not only destroy the Medicinal Pill, but also fail to increase your body strength!* said Lightning Element.

*Damn! Why can it be like this?* said Evan really did not expect what happened.

*Hmm, who told you to be so serious?* said the Fire Element smiled at Evan.

Hearing the Fire Element's words, Evan felt a little annoyed.

"Alright Brother Lightning. Before the Pill Obstacle begins, can Big Brother explain to me, why is the success rate of his pill refining so low?" evan asked confusedly and wondered.

"Because you're still so weak. In general a Holy level Pill could only be made by someone of an upper Senior Level Cultivator or someone who possessed a Tier Four Soul power. This is what is called a limit. Now you might be able to maintain your calm and focus while concocting while talking to us. But, later, when the Lightning Resistance Pill struck your body with excruciating pain. Can you stay calm and maintain your focus while making Pills?" the Lightning Element explained to Evan.

"Huh, shit. Then there's no way back. I'll bet everything here. Let's see, it's me who failed, or the lightning from the Pill Resistance that I'm about to conquer!" evan said optimistically.

Meanwhile above the sky, the dark cloud vortex filled with lightning strikes had gathered completely.

Then, without waiting any longer, the first Lightning in a bright blue color, directly hit Evan's body with great force.

The sound of lightning boomed extremely loudly and almost deafened the entire ears of the White Goddess Peak Sect.

Everyone was very surprised and astonished at the natural phenomenon. Fear and admiration mixed in the minds of everyone.

Evan clenched his teeth with all his might. Trying to endure almost unbearable pain.

While focusing on concocting the Pill and maintaining the Magic Fire, Evan tried to maintain his calm and focus under the immense pressure and pain.

But after a few seconds, a second Lightning with a bright yellow color and a force that was twice as strong as the previous lightning, immediately followed and hit Evan's body with great strength.

Evan's body seemed to be hit hard with the strength of dozens of elephants that were made into one. Like a gigantic golden hammer that was smashing through the body nonstop.

But even though the body seems to want to be destroyed, Evan still survives in his calm and focus.

*What a very strong defense of consciousness and determination. Maybe I myself wouldn't be able to do it that great!" the Lightning Element said feeling admiration for Evan.

Then a third Lightning with a deep red color with a much stronger power, began to gather in the middle of the dark cloud vortex.

The thunderous sound of thunderclaps in the dark cloud vortex made the heart feel trembling. Until it did not take long, accompanied by the sound of lightning striking, finally the third lightning hit Evan's body very strongly.

Evan's body felt like it was split into two pieces. The burning pain spread throughout Evan's body and bloodstream

Slowly blood flowed from the edge of Evan's lips. He really tightened his teeth with all his might to endure the pain.

Perhaps the pain was nothing, when compared to the pain during the awakening of the Poison Element Power in the forest region of the valley. This time, however, Evan was forced to not only endure the pain, but also maintain his calm, concentration, and focus in making the Medicinal Pills.

*I still have to endure!* said Evan unyieldingly and remained focused on controlling his Magic Fire.

Then, not long after Evan managed to control the calmness, concentration and focus that had previously almost split. Slowly an extremely powerful purple-colored lightning energy began to gather amidst the dark cloud vortex. And it didn't take long, now that the dark clouds had been filled with purple lightning energy that was blaring in the sky.

The sound of the purple lightning flash was much quieter than the sound of the flash to the previous three lightning bolts. However the power and energy contained within the purple lightning was simply incomparable to the previous three lightning bolts.
