We bear people have power

The Giant Spirit God hadn't originally planned to take such a desperate gamble. His descent to the mortal realm was solely for the sake of the Xuan Tie Mountain. This was a treasure he had refined over thousands of years, but unexpectedly, it had already fallen into the hands of a demon after he had only lent it to Zhou Gu once.

The Giant Spirit God couldn't discern Guan Bo's background; he only felt that this monster was easily defeated, and that his incense-burning golden body alone would be enough to deal with him.

No one expected that Guan Bo would use the Treasure Gathering Technique to refine the Xuan Iron Mountain during the battle.

At any other time, even if Guan Bo practiced for ten years, he wouldn't have any effect.

How could he possibly remove the runes imprinted by the Giant Spirit God so easily?

But the timing was far too perfect; the magic weapon and its master were in perfect harmony. Every time Guan Bo used the talisman of the Treasure-Collecting Technique to refine the Xuan Iron Mountain, it was tantamount to shaking the mind of the Giant Spirit God.

Normally, this wouldn't matter, but the Giant Spirit God's true form was still in the sky, and this golden body was controlled by willpower. Every time Guan Bo refined it, the Giant Spirit God's spirit was disturbed.

He had never practiced multitasking, which was why the incense-burning golden body kept pausing. Under these circumstances, if he were to retract the golden body, he would probably become the biggest joke in the world.

It's one thing to be able to defeat the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, since in the Heavenly Court, no one who can go head-to-head with that monkey is even worth a slap.

But if he were to be defeated by a newly transformed demon in this obscure little place, the Giant Spirit God felt that he would no longer be able to stay in the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, he decisively severed his connection with Xuan Tie Mountain, and Guan Bo easily pocketed the magic weapon.

The giant spirit's plan was shrewd; it was a matter of giving before taking.

With a powerful strike, the golden body killed the panda spirit before he could react, and the treasure would naturally return to its own hands.

Therefore, he specifically used the Five Ding Mountain-Opening Axe.

This move consumes a great deal of energy, is extremely powerful, and also has a very insidious locking effect. Ordinary people, seeing it, would only assume that the attack takes a very long time to execute and would mostly choose to dodge it.

By the time the giant axe was upon them, it was too late to defend themselves.

To everyone's surprise, the panda spirit's first reaction was not to run away, but to fight back!

This was the second time he had acted unpredictably. He had previously fled and then returned, and now he seemed ready to die, leaving the Giant Spirit God completely baffled.

What's even more ruthless is that this guy actually used the Xuan Tie Mountain as a shield, blocking it in front of him.

"Damn it, this treasure isn't used like that!" the Giant Spirit God roared, but his voice was like a mournful cry of a cuckoo, making one's heart ache just by listening to it.

The giant spirit poured all the power of his golden body, formed from incense offerings, into this axe.

The legend of the Five Ding splitting the mountain is a myth, but the Giant Spirit God himself is a celestial being. Therefore, when he uses such a move, it is not a mere legend, but a true display of the power to split mountains and divide seas.

The Xuan Tie Mountain rose to a height of a hundred zhang, towering majestically, directly facing the giant axe. Seeing that the treasure he had refined over thousands of years was about to be destroyed by his own hands, the Giant Spirit God, heartbroken, withdrew some of his strength.

Golden light burst forth, the Five Ding Mountain-Splitting Axe vanished, and a huge gap was cleaved open in the Xuan Tie Mountain.

The hundred-zhang-high mountain was actually split in half. Countless spiderweb-like cracks covered the entire Xuan Tie Mountain, as if it would shatter if a strong wind blew by.

This was only because the Giant Spirit God had a backup plan; otherwise, this magic weapon would definitely have been destroyed.

"Fine! I'll remember you! When I descend to the mortal realm, I'll make sure you face a life-or-death dilemma!" The giant spirit god could only leave behind these words before unwillingly dissipating into the world.

Guan Bo breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally survived this ordeal.

However, after retrieving the Xuan Tie Mountain, they discovered that the treasure had been completely destroyed.

Having finally obtained a powerful magic weapon, only to have it turn out like this, Guan Bo's heartache was no less than that of the Giant Spirit God.

Only then did Nezha reappear before Guan Bo with the two girls.

Gongsun Jing and Lingxiu were protected by Nezha's Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), so they weren't seriously injured, but the worry on their faces hadn't faded. The battle just now had indeed frightened them.

"You ungrateful wretch! Didn't we agree that you would take care of the magic weapon's owner?" Guan Bo said, quite dissatisfied.

“I helped you, didn’t I? Otherwise, how could the Giant Spirit God have given up this treasure? If I had stepped in directly, wouldn’t I have been bullying the weak and being accused of coveting the treasure and stealing it by force?” Nezha explained.

"That guy is the Giant Spirit God?!" Guan Bo then realized that he had offended such a famous god.

"You call it a treasure? It's in such a state." Guan Bo handed the Xuan Tie Shan to Nezha to see; its pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking to witness.

“What’s the rush? This treasure’s wondrous uses are still intact, and it’s only damaged. If you can really get to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, it will only take Bodhi Patriarch a snap of his fingers to repair it,” Nezha comforted him.

"A clever use? Isn't this thing supposed to be used to smash people? It's already broken like this, it'll probably fall apart if you move it even slightly," Guan Bo said helplessly.

“You’ve come to a mountain of treasures empty-handed. This treasure was forged from nine ancient mountains and contains the essence of the earth from the primordial era. Using it to smash people is a waste of its precious resources,” Nezha said disdainfully to Guan Bo.

"Essence of earth? What's the use of this?" Guan Bo immediately became interested.

“Then there are many uses. The simplest one is that as long as you can draw the essence of earth into your body, you can temper your body and make it as solid as the earth. Ordinary magic weapons won’t even leave a mark on you,” Nezha explained.

Guan Bo: "..."

This is unbearable! I wanted an offensive magic weapon, but instead I got a defensive treasure.

"What use is it for me to be so tough?" Guan Bo almost couldn't resist smashing the Xuan Tie Mountain to the ground.

He would rather have the most ordinary flying sword than this broken stone with its body tempering and defense enhancement.

But that's how things are; it's better than nothing. Guan Bo could only put the Xuan Tie Mountain away for now. Fortunately, such magical treasures could be stored within the body after being collected; otherwise, Guan Bo would have to be careful day and night to avoid bumping or damaging it, which would have been a real pain.

However, due to some problems with Guan Bo's demon core, after Guan Bo was taken into Xuan Tie Mountain, it transformed into a wisp of chaotic energy and landed inside his head, where it stayed with the talisman that possessed the innate divine power.

Guan Bo observed for a while and found that there was no change of heavenly lightning stirring earthly fire, so he was relieved.

"What should we do with this wicked Taoist priest?" Lingxiu walked over to Zhou Gu and nudged him with her toe.

Just now, Guan Bo fought fiercely with the Giant Spirit God, and the aftershocks made Black Wind Mountain look like it had been swept by a hurricane. Zhou Gu was quite shrewd; he hid next to the Bear Mountain Lord's enormous body and actually escaped unscathed.

"Hero, spare my life, hero! I'm willing to be your slave, hero!" Zhou Gu knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Should we kill him? He looks like he's living a very painful life," Gongsun Jing said, somewhat reluctantly.

Guan Bo looked at Gongsun Jing's completely genuine expression and felt a bit of annoyance. Was this girl kind-hearted or ruthless?

"No! Female Bodhisattva, female hero, female knight-errant, female king, spare my life!" Zhou Gu cried and begged for mercy.

Seeing his expression, Guan Bo was too lazy to do anything, so he said to him, "Get lost."

Zhou Gu felt as if he had been granted a pardon and ran away as fast as he could.

Lingxiu poked Xiongshanjun's enormous body again and said, "This bear spirit is probably beyond saving."

"I...I think...I can still be saved." A weak voice came through.

This Bear Mountain Lord is still alive!
