Chapter 400: Chapter 403 Ice Seal Sea Water

It might have been sensing Mu Can’s actions, or possibly being enraged by Mu Can’s attacks, or it could have been that the boiling sea made the Tentacle Monster feel uncomfortable.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound continued incessantly as tentacles stretched out stiffly from the sea, each tightly holding a Dagger, creating an overwhelming sight like a forest of blades surrounding the island.

“Damn it, there are so many weapons.” Mu Can cursed under his breath. Although he managed to force the Tentacle Monster out, Mu Can hadn’t anticipated that it would be so large. Counting carefully, there were nearly a thousand tentacles, each clutching the same weapon.

“Look at the strength of this Tentacle Monster, it seems virtually unaffected,” Wang Cai spoke.

The boiling water had hardly any damaging effect on the Tentacle Monster. To a Giant Beast nearly at the Peak of Martial Saint, nearing the Void Level, such a temperature change was negligible.

“The reason it came out is simple, it couldn’t just watch as you boil the sea dry,” Wang Cai explained.

Indeed, that was the case. Creatures that serve as Guardian Beasts in the Heavenly Pillar all have their own thoughts. In the heart of the Tentacle Monster, as long as it was in the sea, it could unleash doubled strength. In other words, the sea is the source of its power, and Mu Can’s actions were striking at its weak spot.

The Tentacle Monster knew the true size of the surrounding sea. Just as Mu Can had said, maintaining such a space required ample energy, and it certainly couldn’t provide it with a near-boundless oceanic environment. Therefore, when Mu Can boiled the sea, the Tentacle Monster didn’t react too vigorously at first. But when it realized that the water was evaporating continuously, it panicked and revealed all its strength.

However, when it exposed all its power, Mu Can found himself panicking. How could he defeat such a colossal Sea Beast?

At last, the Spiritual Power in the flames that rose beside the island began to deplete slowly, the flames gradually extinguished, and the surface of the sea slowly returned to calm.

“Use ice, since it cares about the water, freeze it inside.”

After the water calmed, the tentacles that the Tentacle Monster had extended snatched back instantly and it began to conceal its strength again.

“Damn it, why is every Giant Beast more difficult to deal with than the last?” Mu Can cursed quietly.

Apart from the first Bull-headed Giant Beast in the Heavenly Pillar that was insanely hostile, the remaining Frost Giant Bear and Shadow Demon Beast each had their own cunning calculations, even craftier than human Cultivators.

The Tentacle Monster before him was no exception, acting immediately to attack Mu Can when the situation turned sour, but as soon as the flames died down, it concealed itself in the sea again, clearly determined to wait for a chance for a lethal strike.

“Too cunning, freeze it,” Wang Cai spoke. After the flames went out, Wang Cai reappeared at Mu Can’s side, a Compass glowing in his big paw, appearing at this moment to lend Mu Can a helping hand.

“Alright.” No sooner said than done, Mu Can nodded, his Spiritual Power surged, and the temperature around him plummeted instantly.

At the very edge of the island where it met the sea, ice could already be seen forming slowly.

“Keep adding ice, I’ll set up an Array, let’s try to get rid of all this sea water, take away its home field advantage, and then we’ll kill it directly,” Wang Cai said, aware of the grave situation, he was not in a mood to joke with Mu Can, and the Compass in his hand began to change, directly starting to set up an Array.

One must say, Wang Cai’s mastery in arrays has helped Mu Can countless times, and this time is no exception.

“Ice Seal.” Mu Can shouted loudly, unleashing the Ice Attribute Spiritual Power within his body without reservation. This time, taking the spot beneath his feet as the center, the surrounding temperature began to plummet immediately. The residual warmth from the flames had not yet dissipated when the temperature began to drop rapidly.

Looking at the trend, it wouldn’t be long before the surrounding seawater would be directly frozen.

If it was the real seawater outside, the Spiritual Power within Mu Can’s body might not be enough to ice seal the entire ocean. But here, it’s more appropriate to say that this place is a giant pool rather than an ocean.

Spiritual Power surged out like it cost nothing. Even Wang Cai beside him was affected, his glossy black fur now coated with a layer of white frost, making him look like he had turned into a white dog.

“Achoo, take it easy, kiddo,” Wang Cai sneezed and muttered.

Although he was a Spiritual Body, under his own control, the body he shaped with Spiritual Power was essentially the same as a real body. Thus, when the temperature dropped so precipitously, he could still feel the cold.

“It’s fine, you’re a Spiritual Body anyway, so you won’t catch a cold,” Mu Can glanced at Wang Cai and spoke.

“Woof!” Wang Cai looked at Mu Can with a forlorn gaze, exceptionally refraining from talking back.

The seawater began to freeze slowly from the top down.

Starting with the surface ice, even the slowly rising waves were frozen in place.

“Let’s see how you endure this,” Mu Can thought bitterly, not wanting to repeat the situation where he had underestimated the Shadow Demon Beast and got badly injured.

Contrary to Mu Can’s expectations, the Tentacle Monster made no moves even after the entire ocean was frozen, as if it had vanished without a trace, showing no intention of making a move.

“Move the ice blocks out,” Wang Cai said.

Mu Can took out a Longsword. This was a Divine Weapon he had obtained from the Death Secret Realm. After coming out, he gave most of the sick armor to Xuanyuan Mingkong to arm the Cultivators of the Mortal World, keeping only one Longsword with him, which now proved useful.

The Longsword that once was so valuable to Mu Can now had little use for him, but even so, it was more than enough for slicing ice blocks.

With the Longsword in motion, Mu Can’s Cultivation in the Sword Dao was already enough to reach the Peak in the Mortal World. Slicing ice blocks with the sword was an incredibly easy task for him.

Blocks of ice were cut into even squares and tossed onto the island. A slight tremble of the arm, and the ice blocks turned into fine powder, falling down like snowflakes. In no time, the entire island looked as if it had been hit by a snowstorm, covered with white ice shavings.

“Let’s see if you can still endure,” Mu Can pondered with suspicion. The entire ocean had been frozen, and now he had thrown all the ice blocks from the frozen seawater onto the shore, severing your living environment. Let’s see if you can bear it.
