CHAPTER 410: CHAPTER 413: THE 9TH HEAVENLY PILLAR
Under someone’s roof, one has to bow his head.
Even the powerful Molten Rock Giant had to obediently listen upon being sucked into the New World of the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer because he understood two things. First, upon entering this New World, he felt an overwhelming sense of oppression. As an Earth Flame Elf, he knew this was the power of a world. Thus, he obediently decided to comply, for he knew that if he harbored malicious intentions, this power could erase him from existence.
The second thing concerns what Wang Cai had said. When Wang Cai told him he could live in this New World, his thoughts became as lively as a giant bird’s. Living in this newly-born world, which could also provide him with the most suitable habitat, captured his heart almost instantly after a brief moment of hesitation.
Wang Cai is undoubtedly the most cunning dog Mu Can has ever seen, employing both threats and temptations. Every Guardian Beast that entered was subdued without exception.
After the Molten Rock Giant settled into the New World, its laws were further perfected, and Mu Can could even feel his control over the Fire Attribute Spiritual Power step up to a new level.
The Fire Attribute Spiritual Power within the New World also began to become more active, especially around the volcanoes, where the Fire Attribute Spiritual Power almost seemed to materialize. Mu Can also knew that if he wished, he could directly absorb the Spiritual Power from within the volcanoes into his body to replenish his own consumed Spiritual Power.
This is another advantage of being the Master of the World, having the Spiritual Power of the entire world as a support. And this is only one of the many benefits. As Mu Can further explores the New World, these benefits will only increase.
"Three more to go. Keep it up." The once formidable Heavenly Pillars that seemed insurmountable in Mu Can’s eyes were now akin to huge tonics. He even hoped that the remaining three Heavenly Pillars would contain even more powerful Guardian Beasts.
The Guardian Beasts sealed within these Nine Heavenly Pillars were diligently captured by the Creator of Tongshen Mountain. Each one possessed its own unique advantages; for instance, the Molten Rock Giant he had just encountered, whose Fire Attribute Spiritual Power was several times more intense than that of his kin.
After the seventh and eighth Heavenly Pillars collapsed, the New World inside the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer was graced with a tremendous turtle and a Big Willow Tree.
The turtle’s control over the Earth Attribute Spiritual Power caused Mu Can immense difficulty. Even with the enhancement from the Reincarnation Battle Armor, he was stuck in a stalemate. With the entire space under the turtle’s control, massive as a mountain, Mu Can was virtually immovable and completely suppressed. If not for Wang Cai eventually using the Big Formation to counter the turtle, Mu Can would have had no chance of winning.
Mu Can knew that without the help of the Reincarnation Pearl, he might not have been able to surpass the sixth Heavenly Pillar, let alone defeat the seventh.
Others shared this sentiment. Donghuang, upon entering the space of the seventh Heavenly Pillar, was fiercely slammed into the ground by the turtle and then trapped within the earth, subjected to a one-sided abuse. Donghuang experienced a myriad of Earth Attribute Martial Skills; if not for Wang Cai capturing the turtle within the Reincarnation Pearl, Donghuang’s suffering would have been prolonged.
When facing the Big Willow Tree within the eighth Heavenly Pillar, Mu Can encountered even more difficulties. The willow tree stood towering in the space, as though piercing through the sky.
Its sprawling branches covered the sky and earth like a barrier, enveloping the entire space.
It was precisely these branches that gave Mu Can severe trouble. Each branch was akin to a top-tier Magic Treasure. As they swung and struck the Reincarnation Battle Armor, it was as if metal was being hacked, sending sparks flying.
Mu Can knew that without the Reincarnation Battle Armor, any of these branches could have cleaved him in half, and even unleashing the Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions would have led to the same fate.
However, in the end, Mu Can was still able to reach the trunk of the Big Willow Tree by relying on his Reincarnation Battle Armor to withstand the attacks. With Wang Cai’s help, he directly extracted the Spiritual Power from the willow, and finally defeated it with great difficulty.
Donghuang and the others suffered a big loss in front of the giant turtle at the Seventh Heavenly Pillar, and they didn’t dare to enter the Eighth Heavenly Pillar.
As they hesitated, something that threw them into panic happened—the Eighth Heavenly Pillar, right before their eyes, began to crumble just like the pillars before it.
"What the hell is going on?" Donghuang nearly lost his mind. He had personally experienced the strength of the giant turtle within the Seventh Heavenly Pillar, which was almost at the edge of the Void Level. With a casual wave of that massive claw, it could tear space apart, and its control over Earth Attribute Spiritual Power was at a grandmaster level. Moreover, the turtle unleashed an arsenal of Earth Attribute Martial Skills—innumerable and unheard of—at no cost.
This indicated just how terrifying the strength of the Guardian Beast within the Eighth Heavenly Pillar must be.
But even so, the Eighth Heavenly Pillar also crumbled, which proved one thing: the Guardian Beasts within this and the previous pillars, just like the others, had all been defeated.
At this moment, Mu Can was completely unaware of what he had done; one could say he had single-handedly destroyed everyone’s spiritual trial. However, even if he knew, Mu Can would probably just say ’sorry’ in his heart, without any other reaction.
Right now, Mu Can had entered a state of ecstasy.
The arrival of this turtle and willow brought about a world-transforming change to the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer.
First of all, the land in the New World had changed, becoming more substantial. Mu Can could even feel as if there was another force contained within the earth, one that would allow every creature that stepped onto the ground to absorb Spiritual Power faster.
The arrival of the Big Willow Tree brought new vitality to the entire New World, allowing Life Spiritual Power to converge more swiftly.
The happiest among them was undoubtedly the clumsy one.
The Tree People were most sensitive to changes in the soil, and he could feel the change in the land after the turtle came in.
With the arrival of the Big Willow Tree, he found an entity to communicate with, even treating the Big Willow Tree as a peer.
Once they entered the New World of the Reincarnation Pearl, the lives of the turtle and the Big Willow Tree were no longer in their own hands, but in Mu Can’s.
Under Wang Cai’s threats and inducements, the result was their complete compromise.
"One last pillar left." Standing in front of the Ninth Heavenly Pillar, Mu Can’s feelings were complicated.
