Soon, the battle that started in the Tribulation Universe Community spread like wildfire all across the
Sea of Chaos.
Countless creatures talked about the ensuing battle with much fear and shock in their voices.
In just a short period of time, Austin's name spread out even more to the point that literally almost
everyone knew who he was.
His deed of defeating several semi-governing gods in battle was the reason for this.
Austin's mere name struck fear into everyone's heart.
Because of this, the allied army was brought to a much higher status all across the Sea of Chaos.
Even if over thirty semi-governing gods banded together, they stood no chance against the alliance.
They were forced to flee for their lives in the end or they might have died in the lopsided battle.
No one would dare to stand up against such a powerful army.
"Let everybody know that from now on no one messes with the alliance!"
"Once you catch a glimpse of their army, run away as soon as possible. Don't even think of fighting
back."
"Treat them politely and with utmost respect, understand?"
In every universe community in the Sea of Chaos, numerous sect leaders, race chiefs and senior
cultivators ordered this to their subordinates.
Only the six super forces were brave enough to defy the alliance.
At this time, Austin and the twelve zodiac animals had already returned to the Ice Palace.
Ten core leaders of the allied army led a large group of divine gods to welcome Austin and his
companions.
"I believe no one would dare provoke us now.
Even the six super forces would not act rashly again.
The allied army can now move freely in the Sea of Chaos.
From now on, our goal is to establish a normal and friendly relationship with the other forces,"
Austin announced with pride.
"Yes, sir!"
The senior leaders of the allied army answered in unison.
"You can now leave and go about your business.
No need to inform me of everything. You can consult with one another and make the decision if there's
nothing big.
Especially you, Ice Queen, please pay more attention to the matters of the allied army. You have my
trust."
Austin looked at the Ice Queen.
"Leader, I will not let you down!"
The Ice Queen assured Austin.
Then, she retreated with the senior leaders of the allied army.
"Austin, come back to the Fallen Divine Valley with me. Master wants to see you,"
the sky-devouring dog suddenly said to Austin.
"Oh?
Master wants to see me?
All right then."
Austin was admittedly caught off guard by what the sky-devouring dog said. So, he immediately went
with him in order to know what his master wanted.
"Let's go."
The twelve zodiac animals launched laws of space and time at the same time to establish a space
teleportation channel. They stepped into it with Austin and instantly disappeared from the Ice Palace.
When the twelve zodiac animals joined forces, their combined energy would be equal to that of a
governing god.
Therefore, the space teleportation channel they built was by no means weak in effect.
A moment later, they arrived in the Fallen Divine Valley.
Austin immediately went to the square located in the depths of the valley.
"Master, you want to see me? What can I do for you?"
Austin came to his statue master and saluted.
"Well, you have made great progress all these days.
Your achievement in spiritual sense is especially astonishing,"
the statue praised.
"But the six super forces are merely waiting for their chance to strike.
You might face danger anytime now,"
the statue continued.
"I know, master. In fact, I have already sensed it.
Recently, I can vaguely sense some powerful fluctuations of spiritual sense force around me. I felt that
some strange spiritual sense forces have already locked in on me," Austin answered.
His face suddenly darkened when he heard his statue master's words.
"Well, you have proved yourself to be quite powerful.
But you must be aware that the governing gods of the six super forces will do anything to kill you now
before you've had the chance to grow even stronger. They are afraid that the day would come where
they won't stand a chance against you.
If these governing gods went after you themselves, you won't stand a chance, Austin.
Your life is in great danger,"
the statue warned.
"Thank you for your warning, master," Austin replied.
He tried to hide the looming fear in his heart.
He didn't need his master to tell him this. He had already been haunted by this thought for the longest
time now.
He defeated the semi-governing gods of the six super forces in the Tribulation Universe Community.
After that, he knew that he was now in the crosshairs of the governing gods.
"Master, do you have any suggestions?"
Austin asked.
"Although you have made great progress in your strength, your cultivation base is comparatively low.
You are still only a genuine preliminary-grade divine god.
You must stay in the Fallen Divine Valley during this period of time and strengthen your cultivation. I will
help you improve your cultivation base.
Originally, I planned to let you slowly improve your cultivation base through your own efforts.
But now, things have changed.
I sense that a grave storm is brewing in the horizon.
Therefore, I have no choice but to use some forbidden secret skills in order to improve your cultivation
base,"
Austin's master said.
"You mean something terrible will happen soon?"
Austin was stunned at his statue master's words.
"Do not ask me any more questions.
You will know it when the time is right,"
the statue replied calmly in order to soothe his disciple's nerves.
"I understand, master,"
Austin nodded.
In the following days, Austin stayed in the Fallen Divine Valley and cultivated in seclusion under the
guidance of his statue master.
One day, while he was focused on cultivating, Austin suddenly heard a voice.
"Austin, come to me now."
His master's voice rang inside his Soul Sea.
He stood up and walked out of his cultivation room. He then took a step forward and immediately
reached the depths of the Fallen Divine Valley through the space between them.
To Austin's surprise, he found an octagonal refining pot in the center of the square.
The pot was lit with a blazing fire.
"Austin, this is the eight diagram pill-refining pot, which is made of the rarest chaotic gold in the chaotic
void.
What is burning inside the pot is the very first wisp of flame in the Sea of Chaos.
Don't let its appearance fool you. That fire can burn even a governing god to death.
Listen, Austin, now you must walk into the pot and bathe in the fire,"
Austin's statue master said to him in a serious tone.
"Walk into the pot, master? How can I do that? You just said the fire can burn a governing god to death.
How will I survive that?"
Austin was taken aback at his statue master's words.
"I will teach you a secret method to turn yourself into a divine pill.
If you can withstand the fire, you will achieve faster breakthroughs in your cultivation,"
the statue explained.
"There is also some risk, of course. This method goes against the very laws of nature. That's why it is
so powerful.
You will experience unimaginable pain, and you may also face some unknown dangers.
You must stay true to your intentions and real nature or you will be burned into a real divine pill.
But if you survive this harrowing ordeal, the rewards will be extraordinary.
So, Austin, what do you say?"
the statue asked.
"I'll give it a try."
Austin decided to go inside after weighing the risks and rewards.
Plus, since his statue master had already lit up the fire, he apparently offered no other choice than to
accept it.
"That's great.
I'll teach you the Pill Transformation Skill now.
With the so-called Pill Transformation Skill, you can absorb the aura and essence of the pills into your
body and turn your body into a divine pill. You won't feel much difference between the pill and your real
body,"
the statue said as he sent a piece of spiritual sense information into Austin's Soul Sea.
"The Pill Transformation Skill is amazing!"
Austin was in awe after thoroughly studying the information sent by his master.
Then, he sat cross legged in the square and began to practice the Pill Transformation Skill.
