Chapter 403: Chapter 406 Shoot You in the Face

Reverse Dragon Nine Steps, when cultivated to perfection, can even bring down gods from the heavens. Although Mu Can has never seen the so-called gods, he knew that if he could successfully perform the ninth step, even the Void Level masters at the peak of the Mortal World, he could crush with one foot.

Although the Tentacle Monster is strong, it is still far from reaching the Void Level. Currently, Mu Can can do nothing against a Void Level, but handling the Tentacle Monster is more than manageable for him.

However, he has only reached the location of the Fourth Heavenly Pillar and has already revealed some of his own trump cards. There are still five more Heavenly Pillars to challenge; does he really need to rely on the power of the Reincarnation Pearl now?

Seeing the headless Tentacle Monster slowly collapsing, an idea crossed Mu Can’s mind. Previously, when he faced the Shadow Demon Beast, the Reincarnation Pearl had absorbed all of them. Could it absorb this Tentacle Monster before him now?

“Absorb!” Without hesitation, Mu Can summoned the Reincarnation Pearl and attempted to collect the corpse of the Tentacle Monster.

The massive corpse lay there, as large as a typical city in the Mortal World. Although the Reincarnation Pearl is immensely powerful, it isn’t the Reincarnation Pearl’s true body that accompanied Mu Can into this challenge space, but something similar to a splinter of a True Spirit. Thus, it momentarily couldn’t handle the enormous corpse of the Tentacle Monster.

“I don’t believe this.” Mu Can saw a resisting force emerging from the corpse of the Tentacle Monster, struggling in a tug of war with the controlled Reincarnation Pearl, and he became incredibly frustrated.

“When you were alive, I could burst you open; now that you’re dead, can’t I collect you?” Mu Can’s stubbornness surged, and it was unstoppable.

“Hurry up, we’ll be transported out soon.” Wang Cai, seeing Mu Can’s efforts, almost raised his two claws in approval. Previously, after absorbing the Shadow Demon Beast’s corpse, the Reincarnation Pearl gained great benefits. Now, if it could absorb such a massive Tentacle Monster, it would undoubtedly bring significant changes to the Fourth Layer space of the Reincarnation Pearl.

“Help!” Mu Can knew that after defeating the Tentacle Monster, he would soon be transported out and return to his body outside, so he shouted loudly.

Hearing Mu Can’s shout, Wang Cai lifted the Qiankun Compass, and the Big Formation that was previously beneath their feet moved as if it had grown legs, heading towards the massive corpse of the Tentacle Monster.

“What are you doing?”

While Mu Can’s power and the resisting force coming from the steps above were at a deadlock, an ethereal, almost illusory figure appeared above the Tentacle Monster, looking exactly like the previous Tentacle Monster. As soon as it appeared, it wore an angry expression, looking at Mu Can as if accusing him of greed.

“That’s the one, catch it.” As soon as Wang Cai saw this ethereal figure, he recognized it. This was the Spiritual Body contained within this Heavenly Pillar, known as the Heavenly Pillar Spirit.

Hearing Wang Cai’s words, Mu Can immediately realized that the Tentacle Monster before him must be some specially treasured creature. Otherwise, with Wang Cai’s personality, he wouldn’t have shouted such words. Immediately, Mu Can increased his effort, fortunate that the previously activated Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions hadn’t subsided, placing Mu Can in an almost peak state.

A massive pulling force emerged from the Reincarnation Pearl, turning this inconspicuous bead into the absolute center of the entire Heavenly Pillar Space at that moment, flashing crazily with dazzling light, aiming to suck the Tentacle Monster into the Reincarnation Pearl. It seemed as if the Reincarnation Pearl also knew that absorbing the Spiritual Body of the Tentacle Monster in front of it would bring great benefits to itself.

“Let’s talk this through, why are you capturing me, haven’t I already let you pass the test?” Feeling the immense pulling force, the Tentacle Monster’s Spiritual Body instantly panicked, trembling in fear, struggling desperately against the suction from the Reincarnation Pearl.

Although it did not know what exactly that small bead above in the sky was, it did not prevent the Tentacle Monster from knowing one thing—that if it was sucked into it, what awaited it would definitely not be a feast, but something it would regret for life.

Hearing the Tentacle Monster’s words, Mu Can chose to completely ignore him, instead focusing his full attention on controlling the Reincarnation Pearl, pulling fiercely at the corpse of the Tentacle Monster.

“Wait, wait, spare me.” Seeing that Mu Can was unmoved, the Tentacle Monster completely panicked, hurriedly begging for mercy, showing no trace of its previously arrogant demeanor.

“Hurry up, the Transmission Array has been activated, I can only block him for ten seconds.” Wang Cai shouted loudly, the Compass in his hand floating above his head, spinning fiercely and emitting beams of seven-colored light that enveloped everything in the space, effectively shielding the outside Big Formation.

“Alright.” At this point, there was no turning back for Mu Can, and he couldn’t possibly let the Tentacle Monster go now.

“I’m going all out.” The Life Spiritual Power within his body surged through him, and Mu Can’s aura instantly increased, as did the suction power of the Reincarnation Pearl.

Caught off guard, the Tentacle Monster turned into a beam of light and flew towards the Reincarnation Pearl; upon closer inspection, this beam of light was actually a miniaturized version of the Tentacle Monster, many times smaller than its former body, losing its previous ferocious look and instead emitted a bit of cuteness.

“Squeak!” Before entering the Reincarnation Pearl, the Tentacle Monster let out a strange cry at Mu Can, then flung its tentacle, shooting a stream of stinky black ink directly at Wang Cai.

“Wow!” Wang Cai, busy controlling the Qiankun Compass against the pressure of the external Big Formation, was caught off guard and got the ink sprayed all over his face. The Compass dropped from his hand, and he and Mu Can were instantly transported out of the Heavenly Pillar Space.

When Mu Can appeared outside, a mark similar to a tattoo formed on his body, similar to the patterns on the fourth Heavenly Pillar, portraying a lively-looking small octopus that even looked a bit cute.

“Wow! Damn it, I’m definitely killing her, wow! Pah, it stinks to death, dead stinky, dead stinky.” As soon as Wang Cai appeared, he started shouting loudly, and Mu Can also smelled a strong stench, like a blend of stinky socks and stinky tofu, almost making him vomit.

“Ew!” Just after cursing, Wang Cai could not stand the smell on his body, he vomited instantly, spitting out all the fruits he had eaten inside the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer.

“Ew! So disgusting.” After vomiting, Wang Cai finally took a breath, but then continued throwing up again.
