Chapter 750: The Snake Spirit Smashes the Mountain God, the Mountain God

"So I've been found?"

The Golden Snake Spirit was surprised. "Could there really be a spiritual imprint inside this gourd spirit root?"

Boom!

The next instant, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

The herbalist, who had not been home, suddenly appeared—his body exploded upward, transforming into a white-haired giant over thirty meters tall, striking toward the Snake Spirit's hiding place.

"Snake Spirit, die!"

"You're the Mountain God's avatar?" The Snake Spirit instantly understood. "No wonder you could detect my invisibility—I was inside your domain all along."

"Now you know!"

The old man's beard and hair whipped wildly, his eyes blazing with fury. "Hand over the gourd spirit root, and I'll spare your life!"

The Golden Snake Spirit sneered, casually swinging a punch to meet the old man's fist, his expression full of contempt. "You? You're merely the sentient spirit born from this mountain. Don't tell me you actually think you're the great transcendent who sealed me away?"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of punches followed—the Mountain God, channeling the power of hundreds of square li of mountains, struck with each blow exceeding hundreds of millions of jin, enough to split the earth and shatter peaks—but they had zero effect on the Snake Spirit, who appeared utterly relaxed.

"Have you already digested the gourd spirit root?"

The Mountain God's avatar's gaze seemed ready to devour flesh. "Impossible! Without the Southern Pole Cauldron, how could you possibly refine the gourd spirit root?!"

If the gourd spirit root were that easy to refine, wouldn't the spirit root seed, buried inside the mountain for so long, have been claimed long ago—why wait for Snake Spirit #687?

The Golden Snake Spirit's eyes lit up. "So that's your plan. I never thought—Mountain God, you're trying to use the gourd spirit root to take form? Your ambition is immense."

It is well known that among non-human spirits, the larger the physical form, the higher the essence—and the harder it is to take human shape.
