Chapter 404: Chapter 407: The Bustling Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer
Mu Can looked at Wang Cai, who was constantly vomiting on the side, and felt secretly relieved. At the moment when the Tentacle Monster’s Spiritual Body was absorbed into the Reincarnation Pearl, the distance between it and Mu Can was even less than half a meter. If the Tentacle Monster had chosen to attack him at that time, Mu Can estimated that his current state wouldn’t be much better than Wang Cai’s; at the very least, he would certainly be vomiting from the stench.
After giving it some thought, Mu Can realized why the Tentacle Monster targeted Wang Cai—it was all because Wang Cai’s Big Formation imposed such a powerful restriction on the Tentacle Monster. Without his Big Formation, Mu Can would have faced many more challenges in killing the Tentacle Monster. Furthermore, when absorbing the Tentacle Monster’s Spiritual Body into the Reincarnation Pearl, Wang Cai’s Big Formation also lent a significant hand, even directly shielding the outside Big Formation, effectively severing the connection between the Tentacle Monster and the outside formation.
Because of these reasons, the Tentacle Monster would certainly regard Wang Cai as its arch-enemy.
It took Wang Cai an unknown amount of effort, and only after extracting a considerable amount of Soul Power Spring from the First Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl was he able to cleanse the black ink from his body. This ink was not any known substance and was not merely smeared on the surface of Wang Cai’s body but was attached to Mu Can’s Spiritual Body, which explains why it required the Soul Power Spring to be thoroughly cleansed.
Boom!
After all the black patterns on the Heavenly Pillar transferred onto Mu Can’s body, the fourth Heavenly Pillar collapsed with a roar.
Mu Can looked at Wang Cai, “Could this guy be the core of the Array on the Heavenly Pillar?”
If the destruction of the third Heavenly Pillar earlier was a coincidence, then the destruction of this fourth one revealed a certain truth.
The Reincarnation Pearl could directly break the Array on the Heavenly Pillar, even capable of destroying this Inheritance Land.
Mu Can only guessed one aspect but missed another.
After Donghuang passed the challenge of the second Heavenly Pillar, he witnessed the third Heavenly Pillar collapse right before his eyes. With no other choice, Donghuang had to attempt the challenge of the fourth Heavenly Pillar. However, as soon as he entered, before the battle even commenced, he was transported out, and again he saw the familiar scene—the fourth Heavenly Pillar shattered before him.
“What the hell is going on here?” Even the always gentle and refined Donghuang couldn’t help but curse at this sight.
This was just too infuriating. If someone destroyed all the Heavenly Pillars, then how could Donghuang continue to face the challenges? At this moment, he had no idea that all these changes were caused by Mu Can. If he knew, he would probably be heartbroken.
“Let’s see where that Tentacle Monster got absorbed to, woof! Wang Cai, the great one, wants to have a nice chat with it.” Wang Cai didn’t care whether the Heavenly Pillars were being destroyed; what he was most eager to do was just one thing—that was to find the Tentacle Monster that had shot him in the face and give it a proper lesson.
“Let me check.” Mu Can connected to the Reincarnation Pearl and carefully searched within the four opened layers.
The first layer of space appeared incomparably peaceful and serene. Except for a small part of souls who had descended long ago and chose to stay here, Purple Cloud was in seclusion in a separate forbidden area, and the Demon Ancestor’s incarnation he rescued was also in seclusion in the first layer, gradually recovering its strength.
The second layer had even less change. After revival, the Reincarnation Layer seemed to have returned to its original tranquility, all the people woke up from their stillness. Although there was some initial panic, calm was slowly restored. When the city was attacked years ago, too many people had died in Reincarnation City. Now, no matter where they were, at least they were still alive—what more was there to complain about?
And the third layer of the Reincarnation Pearl had such a small space; there was no sign of the Tentacle Monster at all.
That left only one place—the new world in the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer, the immense space grown from the silver Interface Seed that Mu Can had obtained.
Under the ceaseless chances provided by Mu Can, the world within the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer was also slowly growing. A gigantic Tree of Life had been planted in the most central position, precisely transformed from the strand of hair previously left behind by that green-furred giant hand.
But at this moment, the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer was not quiet in the least.
Lucky, Clumsy, and Little Red, three shrewd spirits, had now encircled the spirit of the Tentacle Monster that Mu Can had been tirelessly searching for, and the Tentacle Monster was trembling with fear.
The three creatures encircling it, despite bearing only a fraction of its strength, instilled an overwhelming fear from deep within its instincts, spreading uncontrollably from its heart.
Although the energy of these three peculiar creatures was but one ten-thousandth of the Tentacle Monster’s, it could sense that if it dared to fight back, it would probably be next to be decapitated, leading to a complete dispersal of its soul.
However, it had been pulled out from the Heavenly Pillar by Mu Can, losing its Undying Body, but this did not mean it would simply resign to fate.
Even an ant strives for life, not to mention the Tentacle Monster which had lived for countless years. Although it had lived in the Heavenly Pillar Space since it gained Spiritual Wisdom, this did not hinder its desire for life.
“Bark!”
Just as the Tentacle Monster was tangled in thoughts, unsure of what to do, a dog’s bark interrupted its train of thought. An utterly dark, hairless dog charged towards it.
Upon seeing this dog, the three strange creatures that had been surrounding the monster also directly moved aside, as though they were handing over the right to deal with it to the big black dog.
“This dog looks so familiar.” The Tentacle Monster fell into contemplation as it watched the big black dog dash towards it.
“Damn, isn’t this the dog I sprayed with foul juice?” The Tentacle Monster expanded in size and randomly picked a direction to start sprinting.
Though an aquatic creature by nature, as a Spiritual Body, it was now floating in the air, its thousands of tentacles paddling desperately like oars.
There was no better time to flee. Even a normal person, after being sprayed with a stench that couldn’t be washed away, would probably have the first reaction to want to kill themselves upon meeting again, let alone a dog, a creature renowned for its keen nose—it would probably tear him apart!
“Bark! Stop running, damn you, stand still!” Wang Cai, seeing the Tentacle Monster daring to flee, instantly sped up and gave chase.
Lucky and the others were left far behind, shouting loudly as they followed.
“Don’t run, don’t run, stand still!” Clumsy, the small treant, even pulled out two legs directly from the soil, scampering back and forth.
The ever-peaceful Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer space just like that descended into a chaotic mess of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
“Freeze!” Mu Can couldn’t just stand by and watch the farce go on, and directly assisted Wang Cai by immobilizing the Tentacle Monster right there.
The Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer was Mu Can’s world, and Mu Can was the Sovereign.
