Path of Alchemy Mastery

Although it’s unclear why the Tentacle Monster suddenly stopped moving, Wang Cai certainly didn’t bother with that. Since it got devoured into his domain, this detestable octopus must suffer a bit—at the very least, it owes him big time for squirting ink all over his face.

"Run, why don’t you run now?" Wang Cai slowly approached the Tentacle Monster, lifted a huge black paw and gently patted the top of its head, then asked with a grin.

Upon seeing Wang Cai’s smile, the Tentacle Monster immediately felt chills spreading through its body, even feeling a tightening around its "anemone," instinctively sensing that something bad was about to happen.

The Tentacle Monster’s little eyes were situated right on its bald head, and right now, it was staring at Wang Cai without saying a word.

Although it was successfully killed by Mu Can, as the Guardian Beast of the Heavenly Pillar, its greatest advantage was being Undying and one with the space. Even if a Challenger could defeat it, they could never truly kill it.

But the recent incident had completely overturned its understanding of the Heavenly Pillar; what it thought would be an everlasting presence was suddenly destroyed, and it was pulled into a strange place. The world the Tentacle Monster was now in was nothing like its previous space—it was filled with vitality everywhere. If it weren’t for this annoying dog in front of it, the Tentacle Monster wouldn’t mind living here at all.

A long life is certainly important, but sometimes freedom is even more precious. Throughout its vast span of existence, living in that confined space occupied most of the Tentacle Monster’s memories—it had no idea what the outside world was truly like.

"Talk, woof! Otherwise, Lord Wang Cai will eat you." Wang Cai gnashed his teeth. This pesky little octopus had really gotten on Lord Wang Cai’s nerves—its stinky, spirit-tainting ink had given him a hard time.

"I’m not scared of you. I know it was you messing around secretly just now, otherwise, with that kid’s abilities, he couldn’t have passed the test," said the shrunken Tentacle Monster, which lacked the ferocity it once had. It was now the size of a palm and even looked a bit cute as it furiously glared at Wang Cai with its tiny eyes.

"Hehe, pretty arrogant for someone who’s been caught," Wang Cai chuckled. At this moment, the little squadron within the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer also arrived, surrounding the Tentacle Monster from all sides.

"Uncle Wang Cai, what is this?" Dimwit, who had grown much bigger over the past few days, was now a lot taller than before. Previously, compared to the current size of the Tentacle Monster, Dimwit was only the size of a palm, looking like a tiny ornament hanging on Mu Can but now had grown to the size of a person, with wrists as thick as arms. Currently, waving two little branches, he was exuberantly staring at the Tentacle Monster, having never seen such a strange creature before.

"This? It’s called an octopus, a delicious ingredient," explained Wang Cai, pretending to be knowledgeable. Although he wasn’t sure what exactly the Tentacle Monster was, considering its appearance, it resembled a small octopus, so he casually called it that.
