With Fang Hao's breakthrough, Fang Jie's subordinates seemed to have broken through a bottleneck.
Next, it didn't take long before his pet, the Mountain and River Spirit, made a breakthrough first. However, the Mountain and River Spirit was different from other gods, its very composition was extraordinarily unique, plus having Fang Jie, an Upper God, as its master.
For the Mountain and River Spirit, there was basically no bottleneck, and even if there was, it wasn't very strong.
The reason it took so long to break through was that the Mountain and River Spirit required an enormous amount of accumulation.
This time, it finally accumulated enough and then made a breakthrough in one fell swoop. Although it just broke through, among the Middle-Level Gods, the Mountain and River Spirit could directly confront those at the Middle God Middle Stage.
Its inherent defense was so strong that even a later-stage Middle-Level God would find it difficult to defeat.
