Chapter 1670  Dantian Closing Pill

Chapter 1670  Dantian Closing Pill

Alex concentrated on the pill now with the lightning bolt getting stronger. Zhan Luoyang was paying great attention to the matter and did her best to understand how one dealt with a pill cloud.

She could sense the strength of the lightning bolt increasing. The next one that fell was strong enough to kill anyone who was not a Saint Soul realm cultivator. That scared her a lot.

How much stronger was it going to get? Not to mention… Alex's cultivation base wasn't even in the Saint Soul 5th realm yet. Was he going to be fine?

Another lightning bolt fell and the woman could tell that it was too strong for Alex to handle it. But… she also knew Alex was stronger than he appeared to be. And he had to know what he was doing, so she didn't say anything.

Interfering with the pill might backfire on her anyway, even if she intended to help.

The lightning bolt slammed on the cauldron, and Alex appeared to be perfectly fine. He wasn't even worried and simply stared at the clouds for the next one.

With only two more lightning bolts remaining, Zhan Luoyang wondered how much more he could do it. She had heard rumors of the Dragon Emperor being able to call forth 9 lightning bolts. Alex had already handled 7 of them. Could he do the last 2 as well?

The 8th lightning bolt carried with it a strength that could kill anyone not in the Saint Transformation realm, and Alex handled it quite simply as well.

'That was 8 lightning bolts,' she thought. Another one and Alex would have…

She froze at the sight of Alex suddenly bleeding. "Your Majesty?" she called out, afraid. Then, the blood disappeared, vanishing into the cauldron. She couldn't understand what he was doing.

At the same time, she sensed multiple aura appearing out from him. Most she couldn't understand, but she could tell he was using Dao.

'So many!' she thought as her eyes widened. She could not believe how many Daos he had employed at once.

She could sense some sort of Fire Dao, the specificity of which was lost to her. There was also… was that Dao of Gold? She had a hard time telling apart the other dao.

Aside from Water and Fire, her senses— She gasped. Water Dao was being employed too. She couldn't tell how he was using so many. How had he learned so many different Dao even?

Alex could tell his Qi alone was not strong enough for the lightning bolt that was going to come. His Qi was overall of equivalent strength to that of a Saint Transformation 4th realm.

When it came to offense, there were more skills he could use to improve his powers, but as it stood, he couldn't make use of his body cultivation or his Sword aura. All he could make use of was Blood aura and his Dao.

He didn't use his Dao needlessly either, instead adding the different aura together into a technique he already owned.

The All Swirling Elemental Shield.

All 7 elements came together to form the shield. All but the Wood Qi came from his use of Dao, which left him with a terrible headache, but he withstood it for the moment. Using 6 Daos was perhaps not the right idea.

Thanks to it, however, he was sure the final pill would be made.

The lightning bolt fell from the sky, striking the blood aura that covered the pill, destroying it instantly. His Blood Aura was strong, but it just wasn't at the level that the lightning bolt that fell was.

Had he just used that, the pill would have been destroyed.

The lightning bolt's momentum was still blocked slightly, giving some levity to the next shield he had laid beneath it. His actual technique.

The lightning bolt struck the swirling shield, and Alex felt the force of it. He had to most definitely be in the high Saint Transformation 5th realm or early Saint Transformation 6th realm to stop the lightning bolt.

Fortunately, his preparations were just about enough.

The lightning bolt dissipated and his shield vanished. The cloud vanished from the room, leaving silence behind with the only other sound being the people breathing.

Alex took out the pill and looked at it with a smile on his face. 9 different patterns like forking lightning remained on the pill now that it was done.

He had finally managed to make a 9-veined Pill as well.

"Incredible," Long Huan said from the side. "I've never seen anything like this before."

"Neither have I," Zhan Luoyang said. "I… I never realized you were this strong, Your Majesty. You are… stronger than even me."

She couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. She was in the Saint Transformation realm, the strongest in the room beside Hannah, and she considered herself weaker than Alex.

"Let's have sister eat this pill immediately," Alex said. "Lady Luoyang, can you leave and let the others know that nothing bad happened here? They might not be aware and might be scared."

"You're correct," the woman said standing up. "I'll return in a bit." She left.

Alex took the pill over to Hannah and stopped for a moment to consider what was going to happen next. "You will need to explain to her what is going on with her and what I'm about to do next."

"Okay," Long Huan said and went over next to Hannah, taking her hand in his and getting ready to write.

"The poison in her is one that strongly attacks one's soul," Alex said. "It doesn't just affect it, it destroys the soul merely by coming into contact with it."

"It can be contained somewhat, but she won't be able to do it. Currently, the poison is inside her Dantian, the same place where her soul is. Her Qi is protecting her soul, and I need to close her Dantian so no more Qi comes out of her anymore."

"Doing so… will make her state worse," Alex said.

"Worse?" the 2nd prince asked.

"She'll practically become a mortal with no access to Qi. As such, she will become weaker and will need to be taken care of more than regularly. We will also need to start feeding her more regularly."

"I think the worst part will be that she will not be able to communicate with us using Qi any longer. It might be better to get her a pen and paper, or teach her sign language."

"Umm… okay," the 2nd prince said, quickly writing down the words into Hannah's hands. Hannah showed no signs of having understood what was said to her for a moment, but then words flew out of her.

Will I get healed after that?

Alex nodded. "I won't stop until you do, sister,"

Hannah put her hands forth for the pill and Alex put it on her hands. Without hesitation, she ate the pill and swallowed it with some difficulty.

She waited for a moment and suddenly felt life escape from her. She sagged where she sat, feeling as if all Qi in her body had left at once.

Her Dantian closed up and she could imagine darkness growing all around her. This was the worst state she had ever been in.
