"I'm leaving. If I don't leave now, the Sword Spirit Realm will completely erase the aura of this clone of mine, and then my cultivation will be incomplete."

Reluctantly bidding farewell to Jiang Ming, Murong Xue's face showed a rare hint of regret.

This period of interaction has made her accustomed to the feeling of being well-organized.

This departure made her feel quite uncomfortable.

However, cultivation is ultimately more important than personal feelings, so she did not hesitate and left the Immortal Pivot directly.

Meanwhile, news also spread that Barre, who had been absent from the Ancient Demon Clan for a long time, had not yet returned.

His face was full of ambition as he solemnly explained Bach's intentions and recent developments.

Among the ancient demon race, there is a meeting every hundred years.

At that time, the rankings will be recalculated based on the strength of each race.

The Demon Clan has been at the bottom of the rankings for hundreds of years. In order to turn the tide, Bach plans to personally come to the Immortal Pivot to select a few treasures in preparation for the battle against the other ancient demon clans.

This guy is still completely unaware that he is about to fall into a trap set by Jiang Ming.

"Fellow Daoist, do you still remember what you promised me?"

Barre rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He had long wanted to take his place, but he hadn't had the opportunity before. Now that Jiang Ming could make a move, he naturally wouldn't hide his ambition anymore.

As the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once; once it's gone, it's gone forever.

If Bach isn't eliminated this time, then once exposed, death will be the only thing waiting for him. After killing Bach, the Limo clan will be leaderless, and then he can step forward and shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Limo clan.

It can be said that his actions were perfectly legitimate, and no one in his tribe would question his motives.

"Don't worry, a promise is a promise. I will do my best to fulfill my promise, but you will also have to put in a lot of effort."

You must make sure Bach brings the fewest entourage he has, and that he underestimates the enemy as much as possible.

We are now in a situation where we share both prosperity and adversity, so I advise you not to have any wicked thoughts…”

"I understand, I understand." She nodded happily.

Barre had clearly planned it all out.

He immediately returned to the Power Demon Clan, spouting a string of lies.

"Chieftain, Batu is currently expanding his territory overseas."

A large portion of the Immortal Pivot's territory is now under the control of our ancient demon race.

Batu has prepared several human beauties for you…”

Upon hearing this, Bach burst into laughter.

Looking around, a strong sense of pride flashed in his eyes.

"Hahaha, I told you my brother was destined for great things, you guys used to doubt him."

Now you know Batu's abilities, right?

Of course, this is mainly because of my excellent guidance as the older brother.

They shamelessly pat themselves on the back.

As Bach listened to his clansmen's praises, his excitement reached its peak.

To be honest, he himself hadn't expected Batu to be so capable. If Batu weren't his own younger brother, he would have been prepared to discard him once the rabbit was caught.

However, there are not so many concerns now.

His younger brother had stabilized the situation; all he needed to do was go and enjoy it.

While we're at it, let's give Batu a little nudge and tell him not to get any ideas.

"Alright, who wants to go to the Immortal Pivot this time?"

"Chieftain, I want to go there. I want to experience the pleasures of human beauties. I've heard that humans have a very peculiar system of intimacy, and I want to try it out. After all, our Demon race doesn't have many women."

"Chief, let me go. I want to learn the human race's technology so I can forge useful weapons for our Demon race."

"I'm going to snatch a few succubi from this Ancient Demon Tournament!"

……

Hearing his clansmen's eagerness, Bare frowned. If things continued like this, the situation would not be good. Although the Power Demon Clan was not strong, if they mobilized all their forces, they would be enough to throw the Immortal Pivot into chaos. This was completely contrary to the plan.

"Chief, this time, we can't send too many people."

Because the barrier on the Immortal Pivot side is very unstable.

If so many of us go together, it would be bad if it caused a spacetime turbulence.

The old patriarch was wise and powerful in his youth, and he suffered a lot in the face of spatial turbulence; otherwise, he would not have lost to the Crimson Demon Clan.

With the Ancient Demon Grand Competition approaching, we'd better be cautious...

Upon hearing this, the members of the Power Demon Clan immediately quieted down.

Although they each have their own desires, they also share a common goal: to make the Mighty Demon race stronger and stronger.

Barre's reminder had clearly touched a nerve with everyone.

If it really does trigger spatial turbulence, the cost will be extremely high.

"Sigh, what you said makes sense. According to your prediction, how many ancient demon warriors can pass through the barrier?"

"The fewer the better, because your strength is too great, Chieftain. Not all barriers can support your massive body..."

Barre's flattery brought a smile to Bach's face. He squinted his eyes and proudly raised his chin. He didn't deny it, but after careful consideration, he named two descendants he valued.

"Alright, I'm sorry, brothers. This time, I'll take a few kids over there to broaden their horizons first. Once I've stabilized the barrier over there, I'll bring the rest of you over."

After Bach's words, none of the Limo clan had any objections.

Anyway, we'll get to the Immortal Pivot sooner or later, so there's no rush.

"Alright, Ba Nan and Ba Nu, you two come with me."

Bare, lead the way. I need to see Batu as soon as possible.

It's been a long time since I've seen him. I wonder if this kid's skills have improved.

As soon as Bach finished speaking, two young people from the tribe stepped forward, a man and a woman, both of whom looked very much like Bach.

These are his two proud descendants, both at the Purple Mansion cultivation level, whose aptitude and talent are among the best in the Power Demon clan.

Given time, becoming a Golden Core level expert is not difficult.

"Alright, let's go." With a wave of his hand, he tore open the barrier, and Bach's massive body went inside. Sure enough, the space fluctuated violently for a moment.

Seeing this, the clansmen who had been complaining immediately fell silent.

"Barre is right, if we go together, it will likely cause spatial turbulence..."

"Barre's wisdom is second only to Patriarch Bach, so his words are naturally without question."

"We just need to wait patiently. When the chieftain returns, he will surely bring us some human women."

……

Amidst the wicked laughter of the crowd, Bach had already arrived at the Celestial Pivot.

Constrained by the laws of nature here, his cultivation was suppressed to the late Golden Core stage, and then continued to decline until it stopped at the mid-Golden Core stage.

"Sigh, the Immortal Pivot is too restrictive for me. Fortunately, Batu has already dealt with the Golden Core cultivators here..."

Sensing the movements around him, Bach frowned and immediately sensed that something was amiss.

"Barre! You're lying! There are still Golden Core cultivators in the Immortal Pivot!"

"Where's Batu? Why can't I sense his presence? What have you been doing?"

Seeing that his trick had been foiled, Barre immediately began to flee. Although he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, he had made thorough preparations to deal with Bach.

A flying boat beneath him quickly carried him away.

Bach was left behind, looking completely bewildered.

Roar!

With a roar, Bach's eyes were filled with rage.

The next second, the Ba man and Ba woman beside him suddenly felt unwell. When they turned around, Bach saw that the two of them were radiating a faint golden light, revealing a strong burning sensation.

"Fellow Daoist, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Soon, I will reunite you with Batu..."

With a cold voice, Jiang Ming instantly unleashed the power of the Heavenly Fire to attack Bach's children. This was part of his agreement with Barre to eliminate Bach's descendants. After all, the hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable, and keeping these two menacing figures alive would be nothing short of a thorn in Barre's side.

"Alright, alright, you and Barre have made a plan, right? Heavenly Fire True Monarch, mid-stage Golden Core, you're really something. But you don't think you can control me like this, do you?"

"Even though we're both at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, the difference in our strength is like heaven and earth!"

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the heavenly fire on his children.

Bach looked at his burning palm and felt extremely troubled. Jiang Ming was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

From the subtle power struggle just now, he realized that Jiang Ming was not someone to be trifled with. Now, he made a bold statement to boost his own morale.

"Fellow Daoist, I have no doubt about your strength, but your intelligence is beyond question. Just now I could have killed your children, but I did not, and only seriously injured them."

Do you know why?

After a moment of surprise, Bach suddenly realized what was going on, and a hint of resentment appeared on his face. "Fine, fine, you have helpers, right?"

Let them all come over. I want to see what secrets your Immortal Pivot still has.

"You think you can ambush me with just a few worthless, heretical Golden Core cultivators?"

With a sinister grin, Bach glanced at his children beside him, a cold glint in his eyes. He now understood Jiang Ming's intentions: to use Ba Nan and Ba Nu to distract him.

With a wave of his hand, he refined the Ba man and Ba woman.

Bach's figure instantly became imposing.

His muscles bulged, like an angry dragon.

666, my son, it melts in your mouth?

After a moment of reflection, Jiang Ming showed no sign of disdain.

Bach's ability to go this far shows that he is completely prepared to fight to the death, and the upcoming battle must be approached with utmost caution.

While his helpers were still on their way, Jiang Ming summoned his Dharma Body. As the Great Dao behind the Eternal Immortality Scripture, the Dharma Body had remained in the river of time for thousands of years, waiting for a destined person to awaken it.

Having already gained its approval, Jiang Ming instantly slipped away and entered the core of the Dharma Body.

In an instant, his figure became even more majestic and valiant than Bach's.

Perhaps it was the thrill of seeing a prey, but Bach showed no panic at all; instead, his bloodlust was aroused.

He glanced coldly at Jiang Ming, said nothing, and immediately charged forward. His enormous fist instantly blotted out the sky, almost shattering the surrounding space. This terrifying power made Jiang Ming somewhat wary.

Standing in the center of his Dharma body, he coldly glanced at Bach, his killing intent rising. If he couldn't kill Bach today, everything would only become more and more troublesome when he returned with the Power Demon Clan.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Ming no longer hesitated and directly used his newly learned killing move, "One Sword Comes from the West!"

As the master of swordsmanship, the Sword Lord's move is unparalleled in power among those of the same realm.

Even with his formidable physical strength, Bach couldn't help but feel a slight urge to retreat in the face of this attack.

"The Way of the Sword? How is that possible? Within the Immortal Pivot, how could anyone master the Way of the Sword?"

Bach's question went unanswered; the only response he received was a deluge of sword light cascading down like a waterfall.

The swordsmanship principles severely damaged Bach's physical body.

This top expert of the Power Demon Clan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of dread towards Jiang Ming. He had considered the possibility of a new Golden Core being born in the Immortal Pivot, but he never imagined that the newly promoted Golden Core True Monarch would be so strong.

Now his cultivation is suppressed by the Immortal Pivot, and he can only exert less than 30% of his strength.

With such suppression, his chances of winning are slim.

As soon as he finished speaking, several Golden Core True Monarchs gradually appeared in the distance. The reason they arrived slowly was not because they were being slow, nor because they intended to avoid the limelight. Their actions were entirely at Jiang Ming's behest.

Their job was to set up formations to seal off the surrounding area.

"Why didn't I notice anything? No, this is the Law of the Great Forest, are you the True Lord of the Great Forest?" He stared at Jiang Ming in shock.

Bach then realized just how powerful an opponent he was facing.

A bitter look appeared on his face. He looked at Jiang Ming and asked seriously, "So, Batu has been under your control for a long time."

"Barre chose to join forces with you to kill me in order to secure the position of chieftain, didn't he?"

Seeing that they had entered a dead end, Bach calmed down.

Although he was not entirely willing to accept the defeat, given his abilities, he naturally understood that his chances of survival were slim.

The only thing he can do now is to try his best to get the news of Barre's betrayal to the Ancient Demon Clan; otherwise, he will not only lose his life in vain, but may also have his life's work go to waste.

The thought that his hard-earned legacy was about to be usurped by the villain Barre filled Bach with immense resentment.

With a muffled groan, he widened his eyes and spoke in a gruff voice, attempting to negotiate with Jiang Ming.

"Fellow Daoist, if Bare can promise you something, I can naturally promise you something too, and I can even do it better."

If you agree, the Demon Clan will immediately distance itself from the Immortal Pivot, effective immediately.

From then on, there was no longer any trace of ancient demons within the Immortal Pivot.

What do you think of this condition, fellow Daoist?

"Your strength is too great. In comparison, I need someone who is obedient."

Therefore, fellow Daoist, please face your death in peace…”

Jiang Ming gave a signal, and the group of Golden Core True Monarchs began to besiege Bach. With Jiang Ming holding him back, Bach's strength could not be fully utilized, and he was helpless against the Gu Ling True Monarch's endless tricks.

……

Relying on his strong physique, Bach persevered for three full days.

However, two fists can't beat four hands.

In the end, he still fell at Jiang Ming's feet.

Its eyes were filled with resentment. Recalling the past, it couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. If it had noticed Barre's abnormality sooner, perhaps things would have turned out differently...
