Chapter 411: Chapter 414 Giant Rat

After the laws of the world within the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer were continuously perfected, Mu Can felt his own strength increase, and he was even just one step away from the Void Level. His power had reached the peak that the Mortal World could tolerate. As long as he took one more step, he could successfully step into the Void Level.

The last Heavenly Pillar, once passed, would make Mu Can’s journey much easier. However, the eight Heavenly Pillar’s Big Willow Tree had already given him a hard time. Facing the potentially life-changing Ninth Heavenly Pillar, Mu Can, for the first time, lost his confidence.

“What’s wrong?” After Wang Cai handled the Array on the Ninth Heavenly Pillar, he saw Mu Can staring at it in a daze, thinking something had happened, and asked.

“I don’t know why, but I feel a bit uneasy.” Mu Can also found it hard to describe his feelings, but facing this Ninth Heavenly Pillar, he felt a sense of unease that came so suddenly, it left him at a loss.

“No way, it’s the last one, what could possibly go wrong?” Having continuously absorbed four Heavenly Pillars, Wang Cai was overflowing with confidence. Seeing Mu Can’s demeanor, he felt somewhat incredulous from the bottom of his heart.

“You don’t understand, I have a feeling that within this last Heavenly Pillar, I will face the biggest challenge of my life,” Mu Can shook his head and said.

During his not too long yet not too short cultivation journey, this was the first time Mu Can had lost confidence in himself, even when he had stormed into the Demon Clan’s camp to save the teachers of the Immortal Ancient Academy using his Martial Arts Sect’s power, he had not felt this way.

“Relax, the challenges you’ve faced along the way are not only so many, every time you’ve ended up laughing at the end, don’t worry,” Wang Cai didn’t know how to comfort Mu Can, but he believed Mu Can could overcome the current difficulties.

“I stepped onto the path of cultivation at six years old, was harmed by villains in the Immortal Ancient Academy, lost all my cultivation, and then by sheer fate obtained the Reincarnation Pearl, embarking on a new journey. Throughout this path, I have been fearless, even if the road ahead is daunting, I fear nothing, and one day, I will make this world bow at my feet.”

Recalling his journey, Mu Can remembered countless crises he had faced, but he had endured them all with strong willpower. As he remembered, Mu Can’s eyes grew brighter, and the hesitation and confusion in his heart slowly dissipated, determination gradually returned to his body.

“Fight!” A roar that Wang Cai was familiar with brought back the Mu Can he knew.

A hand slowly reached out toward the Ninth Heavenly Pillar. Although slow, it was firm and strong, as if it could clear all obstacles in front.

When Mu Can opened his eyes, he found himself in the midst of a city.

“Why does this city seem so familiar, Wang Cai, where are you?” After entering the city, Mu Can found he had lost contact with Wang Cai, and he couldn’t connect with the Reincarnation Pearl in his body either.

“This shouldn’t be happening, Wang Cai breaking the Array shouldn’t be like this.” Although he had lost contact with Wang Cai, he also couldn’t activate the power of the Reincarnation Pearl.

This meant that Mu Can needed to fight alone, facing the biggest crisis in his cultivation journey, yet even so, Mu Can hadn’t lost his will to fight.

Some people are just like this; once they decide on something, no obstacle in the world is a problem.

“So what if I don’t have the Reincarnation Pearl, do I really need its power to become a strong practitioner?” Mu Can thought, filled with pride.

The city was like any ordinary city in the Mortal World, but it was eerily empty of any inhabitants.

Mu Can knew that the Guardian Beast inside this Ninth Heavenly Pillar would definitely not be as simple as the previous ones. Even the Big Willow Tree in the eighth Heavenly Pillar would have stopped him if he hadn’t had the Reincarnation Pearl.

“Where exactly is the Guardian Beast?” Mu Can uncovered a secret.

The previous eight Heavenly Pillars represented various attribute spaces, and the attributes of the spaces somewhat reflected the attributes of the Guardian Beasts.

The Tentacle Monster’s Water Attribute replenished the Water Law in the New World, the Giant Bird’s Wind Attribute replenished the Wind Law in the New World, and the Molten Rock Giant’s Fire Attribute and the Big Willow Tree’s Life Attribute, each replenished the respective attribute in the New World, making the laws of the New World more complete, and significantly improving Mu Can’s strength.

But this space was like a real city without any particular attribute bias, which made it impossible for Mu Can to judge the specific strength of the Guardian Beast here.

“Ice Shield!” Spiritual Power surged, and four massive Ice Shields appeared in front of Mu Can, slowly rotating around him, providing protection with no dead angles. With the protection of the Ice Shields, Mu Can felt somewhat reassured.

With his strength now very close to the Void Level, he was confident that even when facing Void Level powerhouses, he wouldn’t be instantly killed, so the Ice Shields could demonstrate their effectiveness.

“What exactly is this place?” Mu Can wandered aimlessly in the city, which was vast and empty, and he had no idea where the so-called Guardian Beast was.

With surging Spiritual Power, two massive wings suddenly appeared on Mu Can’s back. With a flap of his wings, he shot up into the sky. The red and white wings behind him looked striking, making Mu Can appear like a Heavenly God.

“If I can’t find it, then I don’t know, I’ll just set this city ablaze and see where the Guardian Beast is hiding.” Mu Can hovered in the air, the wings behind him slowly flapping, flames continuously emerging from them, and in an instant, the entire city was engulfed in a sea of fire.

After the flames started burning, Mu Can heard a wail and the ground of the city shook, the whole city transformed, and the ground slowly swelled, bringing the city to life.

“This entire city was built on a Giant Beast?” Upon seeing the changes before him, Mu Can felt he had still underestimated the strength of the Guardian Beast inside the Ninth Heavenly Pillar.

“What exactly is this?” Mu Can flew a bit higher and looked down at the transforming city, puzzled.

After the city completed its transformation, Mu Can finally saw clearly what it was.

It was a huge rat, and the entire city was built on the body of this rat.

“Such a big rat, my goodness.” Mu Can was amazed; the Guardian Beast’s size was truly immense.
