CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 415: SEVERING ITS FOUR LIMBS

"If Wang Cai were here, where would he advise me to start?" Mu Can pondered his strategy.

Facing such a colossal rat, Mu Can also felt at a loss for where to begin.

This rat was simply too massive, making the giant bird and the so-called overlord of the oceans, the Tentacle Monster, seem insignificant by comparison.

Fire? Ice? It seems neither can make the slightest dent in this Giant Beast. Essentially, the entire city serves as its armor, shielding the rat’s back, while its vulnerable belly is hidden underground, never to be exposed.

Hence, if Mu Can wanted to harm the Giant Beast, he could only do so from the back, removing all of its protective layers to attack it.

"Focus, release all attacks in a burst." Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions was instantly activated.

Mu Can transformed into a half-human, half-dragon being. In his current form, he could unleash all his strength, and his powerful physique, having absorbed gluttonous energy, had reached the Peak of Martial Saint. Furthermore, with the transformation granted by Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions, his physical strength had reached a terrifying level.

His control over the Spiritual Power within his body, and his insight into the Heaven and Earth Laws, had broken through to an extreme height with the perfection of the New World’s Law within the Reincarnation Pearl.

One could say that Mu Can was now at his most powerful moment, barring the Reincarnation Pearl’s empowerment; in all other aspects, he was at his peak.

Mu Can retracted his wings and plummeted toward the ground, accelerating to a frightening speed due to gravity.

Boom!

Like a meteor, Mu Can crashed into the city on the rat’s back, creating a huge crater.

Within the crater, a wave of Spiritual Power surged, and a colossal red and white lotus, the Ice and Fire Glass Lotus, emerged.

Slowly blossoming, Mu Can sat cross-legged at its center, controlling the Spiritual Power within his body and drawing from the New World’s Spiritual Power.

For some reason, despite the severed connections with Wang Cai and the Reincarnation Pearl, his connection to the New World remained intact.

A loud noise erupted; even the Giant Beast seemed to wobble under this attack, as a column of fire shot into the sky, followed by a mushroom cloud slowly rising.

This strike had not caused any real harm to the Giant Beast, but it successfully flattened a portion of the city on its back,

like a bite taken out of an apple, the flaw was now evident.

In this massive pit he had created, Mu Can felt the soft sensation beneath his feet; he knew it was the skin of the Giant Beast.

This attack, putting forth Mu Can’s full strength, had only destroyed the city on the rat’s surface but hadn’t injured the rat in the slightest.

"Again." Mu Can steeled himself as five lotuses slowly took shape under his feet, consuming most of the Ice and Fire Spiritual Power within his body. The result, however, was clear.

If these five lotuses exploded, their power would surely be more than just additive.

In such a confined space, harboring such colossal energy, Mu Can even felt a twinge of fear—should he lose control of this Spiritual Power, even he could be injured in such an attack.

"Let’s see if I can inflict some damage on you."

Mu Can was just about to activate the Ice and Fire Glass Lotus when he felt a sudden chill in his heart and hurriedly rolled aside to dodge.

A long arrow shot out from underfoot, whizzing past Mu Can’s face. Had Mu Can not dodged in time, he would have been hit.

Mu Can knew that the Giant Rodent’s attack wouldn’t be so simple; spreading his wings, he flew out of the deep pit.

No sooner had he left the pit than a series of long arrows followed, shooting out of the depth.

Now Mu Can had the time to observe what these long arrows were. To his horror, they were actually the hair of the Giant Rodent.

"Are you a porcupine or a rat?" Mu Can, witnessing the rodent hairs shooting out to an unknown distance, was secretly shocked. Who would have thought that upon encountering an attack, the rat could actually launch the hair on its back like long arrows.

"Explode!"

Estimating the timing to be about right, the five Ice and Fire Glass Lotuses lying quietly at the bottom of the pit had absorbed enough Spiritual Power from the outside world and, having fully matured and bloomed, Mu Can controlled the Ice and Fire Glass Lotuses to detonate.

Imagine the sensation of setting off firecrackers stuck to one’s body—that was what the Giant Rodent was feeling now.

Even though its body was massive, Mu Can’s attack had accumulated enough power.

Boom!

The five lotuses exploded simultaneously. This time, under Mu Can’s control, the flames did not billow upwards but burst downwards, igniting directly on the Giant Rodent’s body.

Squeak!

A painful squeal sounded in Mu Can’s ears like thunder, causing him to wince and cover his ears. In pain, the Giant Rodent pulled itself out from underneath the ground.

Mu Can could hear the howling wind by his ears. The Giant Rodent’s high-speed movement allowed it to cover hundreds of meters with each step. Mu Can, on the rodent’s back, could only control his Spiritual Power to protect himself.

"Where is this thing taking me?" In fact, this attack didn’t yield the result Mu Can had hoped for.

In his plan, this attack should have created a large hole directly on the back of the Giant Rodent, allowing him to enter its body and attack the rodent from within.

But this attack had only injured the Giant Rodent, leaving a deep pit several meters deep on its back. Although the deep hole seemed terrifying, it was insignificant for the Giant Rodent’s colossal size—it was at most a minor pain in the back.

After an unknown amount of time, the Giant Rodent gradually slowed down and stopped, unable to bury itself back under the earth.

The Giant Rodent lay slowly on the ground, seemingly recovering from its injury. Although it knew there was a little thing on its back, Mu Can’s presence was too insignificant for the Giant Rodent, just like fleas on cats and dogs, unable to pin down the position.

However, in the Giant Rodent’s eyes, a flea was just a flea. Even the most agile flea couldn’t kill it, and since its life was not in danger, the Giant Beast lay there recovering from the wound on its back, its relatively small eyes filled with bitterness.

"I’ll break your limbs." Seeing the Giant Rodent stop in its tracks, Mu Can made a decision: first to break its four paws to immobilize it.
