Chapter 399: Chapter 402 Tentacle Monster

Chapter 402

In front of Mu Can, as the third Heavenly Pillar thunderously shattered, the third Heavenly Pillars beside the other challengers also slowly crumbled, just like weathered rocks that turned into a sky full of powder upon the lightest touch.

The others stared at the disappearing third Heavenly Pillar for a long time without words. Among them, some had just passed the test of the first Heavenly Pillar, while others had passed the second Heavenly Pillar and were just arriving in front of the third.

“What’s going on?” Puzzle and confusion were clearly etched on their faces.

Of course, Mu Can was unaware of these occurrences; however, even if he knew, he would just laugh it off. The remaining challengers, apart from Donghuang who could be counted as part of the Human Clan, were all harboring hidden agendas. They could not even distinguish friend from foe, so what did their failure have to do with Mu Can?

“The fourth Heavenly Pillar.” Mu Can walked up to the fourth Heavenly Pillar, and Wang Cai timely followed. Using the same method, when Mu Can placed his hand on the Heavenly Pillar, Wang Cai also entered the fourth pillar.

“Be careful, the difficulty doubles after each round, the challenge in this fourth Heavenly Pillar is a once-in-a-millennium level talent,” Wang Cai seriously advised.

Only then did Mu Can have the time to look around the environment. They were standing on a small island, about a few dozen meters in radius. To call it a small island was less accurate than calling it a large rock.

Mu Can, looking at the seemingly boundless sea around him, realized that the Guardian Beast living within the fourth Heavenly Pillar had to be a Sea Beast living in the sea. Such Demon Beasts are rare in the Mortal World, and Mu Can had no experience fighting in the sea.

“Be cautious. In the Supreme Interface, there are many powerful Demon Beasts living in the sea. These beasts can unleash tremendous power in the water. If necessary, directly activate the power of the Reincarnation Pearl,” Wang Cai warned, understanding the peril they faced before and the need to be completely alert for the upcoming battle.

“Okay.” Mu Can nodded, vigilantly surveying the environment surrounding the small island.

Although the Guardian Beast hidden in the shadows had not made a move yet, Mu Can knew that when it did, it would be an attack as ferocious as a storm.

“Force it out,” Wang Cai glanced at Mu Can, signaling that within this battle, they must make quick and decisive moves to avoid danger.

“Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions.” The Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions was instantly activated, transforming Mu Can’s body, with all limbs taking on the form of the Dragon Clan.

He was preparing himself in his strongest state for the upcoming battle.

“Destructive Fire Lotus.” Mu Can roared, and a lotus flower formed under his feet, drawing in all the Fire Attribute Spiritual Power from the surroundings, slowly growing larger. Initially, the growth was slow, but as the volume increased, the pace at which the lotus absorbed the Fire Attribute Spiritual Power in the air increased rapidly. Eventually, one could visibly see streams of red spiritual power flowing into the lotus. At the end, the lotus continued to grow without Mu Can’s control.

“Wow! You’re really something, kid,” Wang Cai exclaimed, noting the considerable progress Mu Can had made in the past few days. This made their decision to enter Tongshen Mountain exceedingly wise. Now, it was uncertain if Mu Can could touch the threshold of the Void Level after passing this test. If Mu Can managed to touch the edge of the Void Level here, it would make things much easier in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm later on.

“Force it out,” Mu Can looked at the massive Fire Lotus, which was now mountainous, and spoke.

Wang Cai transformed into a stream of light and concealed himself within Mu Can’s body, knowing that when the Fire Lotus exploded, it would unleash tremendous energy. It was safer for Wang Cai to hide inside the Reincarnation Pearl and it would make Mu Can feel more at ease.

Boom!

Mu Can gently snapped his fingers; the fiery lotus utterly erupted, and under his precise control, the explosion radiated outward from the small island as the epicenter.

The entire space was filled with scorching flames; the seawater seemed to boil, bubbling and gurgling. The flames in the air were not fleeting but kept burning. It seemed that until the Spiritual Power was exhausted, these flames would not be extinguished.

“Let’s see if you will come out.” Although Mu Can could not sense the distance of the sea beside the island, he knew that maintaining a space required limited power, so this boundless ocean must be an illusion, and the actual size of this sea could not be too vast.

Under the high temperature, the seawater evaporated continuously, rising in a vast fog as if the entire sea was boiling water.

A giant tentacle burst through the air, fiercely stabbing towards Mu Can. The tentacle, similar to that of an octopus, held a Dagger. Although the size of the Dagger was only relative to the immensity of the tentacle, to Mu Can, it was already the size of a giant sword.

As the Dagger cut through the air with a whistling sound, Mu Can, already on guard for the approaching attack, felt the sound of slicing air and immediately dodged to the side.

Missing in its strike, the tentacle instantly retracted back into the sea, as if intimidated by Mu Can’s power, showing no further movement. But Mu Can knew that this Tentacle Monster would not just let things go.

The Tentacle Monster was biding its time, and so was Mu Can.

Without a guaranteed kill, the Tentacle Monster could only choose restraint, and since Mu Can did not want to enter the sea to fight, the situation now was about seeing who could endure more.

“Heh, if you don’t come out now, watch me boil you,” said Mu Can with a grin, standing on the island, looking out over the boiling sea, and chuckling inwardly.

The current situation was that Mu Can stood in a safe place, while the Tentacle Monster was being boiled by the scalding water. Mu Can was sure that the Tentacle Monster would be the first to give in.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Mu Can, vigilantly observing his surroundings, heard two slicing sounds as this time two tentacles fiercely stabbed towards him.

With the same tentacles and the same weapon, this time, two tentacles came from different directions, seemingly blocking Mu Can’s space to dodge. However, Mu Can was well-prepared and dodged again with a swift move.

With a light stamp of his foot, a lotus once again formed under him. It seemed Mu Can was ready to add more fire to these flames.

“Let’s see how you endure, I’ll force you out,” Mu Can thought fiercely. Although the lotus under his feet looked menacing, it was vastly different from the previous one.
