The Baituo's screams echoed from within the encirclement of the Cloud-Touching Vine. He knew very well that once he was entangled by the Cloud-Touching Vine, things would really be bad.

However, the Baituo's Divine Power struck the Cloud-Touching Vine vine, but it couldn't even shatter a single leaf, making him feel the same despair the Yanling had felt before.

Rumble!

The Cloud-Touching Vine gathered into a ball, surrounding the Baituo as it entered. Explosions echoed from within, but quickly subsided, and all sound ceased.

The Cloud-Touching Vine slowly unfurled, revealing a Baituo with a gloomy face and emanating green light.

At this moment, his gaze toward the Yanling was filled with the most resentment. The Baituo hated not the Cloud-Touching Vine that enslaved him, but this former fellow villager Yanling.

Fellow villagers meeting, stabbing each other in the back!

" Yanling, what a mess you've made!" The Baituo's voice was filled with rage.

"Hehe, I told you, if I have something good to share, don't be shy. Master is a genius among Human Race, and following him, our progress might be even faster than before."

Moreover, there's no need for fighting now; all we need to do is nurture the Cloud-Touching Vine.

I've discovered that lying down and relaxing is actually a pretty good way of life!

The Yanling was trying to persuade the Baituo, and in doing so, it was also trying to persuade itself.

Since there's no way to resist, one can only silently accept it.

Surprisingly, seeing Sinaike about to be killed by the Blood God, the two of them actually felt somewhat relieved.

" Taiji, is this your plant life?"

The old captain Wuerdi, came to Zhang Junbao's side and looked at Cloud-Touching Vine in disbelief.

" World Lord Level Cloud-Touching Vine, how could it be so terrifying? How exactly did you cultivate it?" Wuerdi gave a wry smile, feeling that he could no longer understand this era.

"Just let it grow naturally. This enslavement technique was something Cloud-Touching Vine figured out on its own. Although it's a bit rough, it seems to be working quite well."

Wuerdi also knew that Zhang Junbao had his own secret: the cost of cultivating World Lord Level plant life form was far greater than that of cultivating a World Lord. Moreover, it was World Lord- level plant life form capable of rivaling Immortal. Once such a plant life form broke through to Immortal, it would become a super strong being.

"Now that the Yanling and the Baituo have surrendered, and the Flame King and his group have almost finished dealing with the Demon Race World Lord, there's only one Demon Race Immortal left."

"Master, how about I 'persuade' Sinaike? We conspired together before, so he won't be on guard when he sees me." Yanling, having practiced his skills, felt he had to show off his new ability to his master.

"No, Master, I'll go. I'm stronger than the Yanling, this will be more effective for me!" The Baituo recognized its own situation and, now that it had a chance to prove itself, it naturally wouldn't miss it.

He knew very well that he and Yanling served the same purpose to Zhang Junbao. As slaves, if they could not demonstrate sufficient value, it was only a matter of time before they were used as cannon fodder by their master.

" Baituo, you dare to try and take it from me? I've earned merit, so of course my master trusts me more!"

"Should I attribute this to you?"

The two Immortal Demon Race argued fiercely over the opportunity to demonstrate their worth.

Wuerdi watched from the sidelines, feeling a pang of sadness.

This was the Immortal God who had just been beaten by him. Now, he had been reduced to a servant, losing all his dignity and even plotting against his former companion.

"Alright, I kept you two here to cultivate the Cloud-Touching Vine. Is Sinaike's Innate Secret Technique the same as yours?"

"No, Sinaike isn't of our race, he's different!"

"Then let's kill them. We can't go through a battle and end up with no military merit at all."

The coldness in Zhang Junbao's tone sent chills down their spines. If they didn't have enough value, their ultimate purpose would probably just be to become Zhang Junbao's military merits.

As the battle between Blood God and Sinaike reached a critical moment, neither dared to let their guard down.

Although Sinaike was no match for the Blood God, he managed to hold Blood God off using his Innate Secret Technique.

"Hahaha, Blood God, today is your death day! Yanling will soon wipe out all your World Lord team members, and then the three of us will gang up on you, Blood God, and that will be your doom!"

Sinaike laughed loudly, but inwardly he was cursing.

"What's going on with the Baituo and the Yanling? The battle hasn't ended yet. If this drags on any longer, my divine body will suffer losses exceeding twenty percent!"

This would greatly reduce my strength; even if the three of us joined forces, we might not be able to defeat the Blood God!

"Those two, are they planning to wait until I and the Blood God are both severely injured before launching a sneak attack?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Sinaike's mind. Although the Demon Race also had Military Merit System similar to that of humans, given the Demon Race's technology, the Military Merit System had many loopholes. It would not be difficult to deceive the system and frame one's own kind.

Moreover, most Demon Race are cunning by nature, and given the opportunity, they wouldn't hesitate to kill their teammates.

Within the rules, there are ironclad laws; outside the rules, there are loopholes.

Just then, Sinaike noticed that the Baituo and the Yanling had quietly approached him from behind.

"You two have come at the perfect time! If we join forces to suppress and kill the Blood God, we'll surely gain a fortune and never have to be at the mercy of Kongshan again!"

Blood God's expression was extremely grim. Their presence here meant the rest of the team had already been killed?

Even if the other World Lord were no match for the Immortal Demon Race, Wuerdi was also Immortal God, so there was no reason for him to be killed so quickly and silently!

The battle between Blood God and Sinaike was extremely intense, and even he dared not be distracted by other things. He had only just realized that Blood God Squad was at a disadvantage, so how could he have known what had happened during that time?

" Demon Race, I will annihilate you all!"

Blood God's body continuously emitted blood energy, preparing to fight the three Immortal Demon Race to the bitter end.

Suddenly, a large number of vines sprouted from the Baituo and the Yanling and surged towards Sinaike. The towering vines were like a surging tide, which made the entire space tremble.

You... you deserve to die!

Sinaike immediately activated his Innate Secret Technique: Time Extension!

The speed at which the massive amount of Cloud-Touching Vine was gushing out suddenly slowed down, and Sinaike hurriedly fled, his face still showing an expression of disbelief.

"You two, how dare you betray the Demon Race!"

Although Sinaike successfully escaped, one of his arms was still shredded into powder by the Cloud-Touching Vine. Immortal Divine Power surged around him, and a brand new arm quickly grew, although his aura had diminished considerably.

"What on earth is going on?" Blood God looked bewildered. Why were the enemies suddenly fighting amongst themselves?

At this moment, Zhang Junbao appeared beside him with Wuerdi.

"Captain, are you alright?" Wuerdi asked.

"It's nothing, what happened?"

"Hehe, those vines are the Taiji plant life form, the Cloud-Touching Vine, and those two Immortal Demon Race are now his servants." Wuerdi found this quite unbelievable. However, the reality was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.

" Immortal Servant?" Blood God looked at Zhang Junbao with great surprise.

"It's nothing, just two pets that Cloud-Touching Vine has taken in. Their Innate Secret Technique can accelerate Cloud-Touching Vine's growth, so I didn't kill them."

"We originally intended to use them to kill Sinaike, but we didn't expect them to be so vigilant and actually escape the attack of the Cloud-Touching Vine," Zhang Junbao said.

"Be careful. Although he's not very strong, Sinaike's true form is Horned Python from the Demon Race race, possessing a trace of dragon blood. His Innate Secret Technique can affect others' perception of time. While his combat power isn't great, he's quite troublesome."

"Being able to influence time is quite a rare Innate Secret Technique, but I wonder what Life Gene Level is?"

Since mastering the Clone Secret Technique One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, Zhang Junbao felt a deep sense of kinship with these Alien Race possessed powerful Innate Secret Technique.

If I could capture them one by one and analyze their Innate Secret Technique, and runes, my Law Comprehension would surely soar once again.

The integration of Fusion Law becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. Although Zhang Junbao's cultivation went relatively smoothly in the early stages, he is now gradually sensing an insurmountable hurdle ahead.

Perhaps that is the biggest obstacle to Fusion Law and entering Immortal. If he cannot break through, Zhang Junbao may be trapped in the realm of World Lord for the rest of his life.

What he could do was collect a large number of secret techniques from different races and study the mysteries of the fusion of Law.

Cloud-Touching Vine was furious when his attack failed.

It had transferred from Zhang Junbao to the Baituo and the Yanling. At this moment, a large number of enormous vines gushed out, determined to completely engulf Sinaike.

Sinaike suddenly vanished into thin air, and at the same time, a giant serpent resembling a majestic mountain range appeared in the starry sky. This serpent was about 500 meters thick and 300 kilometers long, like a giant mountain range winding and coiling in the starry sky.

The snake's scales were bluish-green, and the dense scales had strange swirling patterns that covered its entire body.

The giant serpent had appeared, and instantly the chill spread for tens of thousands of kilometers. At the same time, a large number of fine air current vortices appeared around it, forming fine clouds that held the serpent's body in place.

The moment the giant serpent appeared, even though the two Immortal God, Baituo and Yanling, used their Law Domain to resist, they still felt a bone-chilling cold.

Even the Blood God and Wuerdi, who were far away, sensed the serpent's extraordinary strength.

"Hiss"

Just as Snake, in his Sinaike form, was about to roar, a gigantic vine several times larger than his original form slammed down, blasting his body tens of thousands of kilometers away.

"This..."

Blood Divine Eye twitched slightly. Sinaike, transformed into a giant serpent, was nearly as powerful as him, even if slightly weaker. Yet, this imposing Demon Race serpent, barely appearing before it had a chance to display its might, was whipped away by Zhang Junbao's Cloud-Touching Vine. He could even see the broken serpent scales and blood scattered in the void; Sinaike must have been in considerable pain!

"Why did you have to turn into a giant snake in front of the Cloud-Touching Vine? Isn't that just asking for a beating?" Zhang Junbao said helplessly.

Seeing this, Sinaike, who had been blasted away by the Cloud-Touching Vine, tried to escape without looking back, but the Cloud-Touching Vine was not about to let him go so easily.

The giant vines coiled around the serpent's body, and Sinaike's proud Strangulation power seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the Cloud-Touching Vine.

"Roar..."

Sinaike let out a deafening roar, but his body was already entangled by the Cloud-Touching Vine. All three hundred and sixty main vines were gathered together, and even Sinaike, a member of the Horned Python clan, was helpless against such an opponent.

The Demon Race, with their enormous divine bodies, can crush human Immortal of the same level, but when faced with plant life forms whose divine bodies are even larger, their brute force is ineffective.

Sinaike kept twisting off the main vines of the Cloud-Touching Vine, but Zhang Junbao's Cloud-Touching Vine had a total of 360 main vines, each of which was thicker than Sinaike's, so there was no need to worry.

The speed at which Sinaike severed its grip was far slower than the speed at which the Cloud-Touching Vine regenerated.

" Kongshan, save me!"

However, at that moment, Sinaike let out a huge roar.

"Huh? There are still Demon Race Immortal nearby?" Zhang Junbao and Blood God immediately became alert. Since they started searching, they had not found any trace of the enemy. They originally thought they had only encountered a small team of Demon Race Immortal, but now it seems that things may have changed.

"Hmph, trash!"

"Can't even be a good bait!"

A cold snort rang out from the void, and then a colossal dragon, resembling an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex, stepped out from the void. The dragon's head was enormous, taking up almost a third of its body, and its sharp fangs seemed capable of tearing through space. On its head were two sharp horns that pierced the sky. Even Immortal God would not dare to underestimate its power.

The dragon extended its forepaws, sharp claws that slashed down at the Cloud-Touching Vine like an incomparably sharp War Blade.

" Moyun, come back!"

At Zhang Junbao's command, the Cloud-Touching Vine quickly contracted, transforming into a tiny seedling only three inches long, returning to Zhang Junbao's body and dodging an attack powerful enough to shatter space.

Sinaike, having narrowly escaped death, was panting heavily, his eyes filled with resentment and fear as he looked at Zhang Junbao.

" Kongshan, when did you arrive?"

The Baituo and the Yanling were so frightened by the overwhelming aura of Kongshan that they stood frozen in place, afraid to move. Such a terrifying aura and pressure were even stronger than that of the Blood God.

"You two dare to betray the Demon Race and betray me! Even if I kill you on the spot, I will only receive a reward from the clan!" Kongshan revealed a mouthful of sharp teeth, which gleamed with a cold light like countless daggers. Baituo and the other man had no doubt that Kongshan would devour them alive.

Among the Demon Race, it is not uncommon for powerful beings to devour the weak.

"We... we were forced into it!"

"Forced? They couldn't even Soul Enslavement. You, dignified Immortal God, were forced by a World Lord?"

Both the Baituo and the Yanling felt deeply ashamed at this point. They simply could not endure the agonizing torment of the Cloud-Touching Vine; they were truly forced by circumstances!

"A mere Realm World Lord Level being possessed by a plant life form with 360 main vines! Human, you have truly surprised me!"

"I originally thought that hunting down the Blood God would be enough, but I didn't expect you to bring me such a wonderful gift."

"It's a bit of a pity that the Cloud-Touching Vine only recognizes one master in its lifetime. But as long as I Soul Enslavement, then the Cloud-Touching Vine will be mine!" A greedy glint appeared in Kongshan's eyes.

In order to cultivate the Cloud-Touching Vine with 360 main vines, Zhang Junbao invested over 10 billion Hunyuan Unit. Such a vast fortune is something even King-level Immortal might not possess.

The current Cloud-Touching Vine can be considered a walking pet worth billions; how could the Demon Race race's Kongshan not want it?

" To Marquis Immortal?" The Blood God looked troubled; the aura emanating from the Kongshan made him deeply wary.

"Although I have the strength to Marquis, I do not yet have the Marquis. I originally planned to ambush and kill the human genius Blood God to establish my reputation as Marquis."

In retrospect, this was nothing short of a celebratory gift from heaven, a pre-ordained promotion to a Marquis.

"Human World Lord, submit to my enslavement, and I'll spare your Undying for the sake of this Cloud-Touching Vine. As for the Blood God, today I'll use your reputation as a human genius to establish my own title of Marquis!"

The Blood God's reputation as a genius was widespread on the Ninth Battlefield. Many Alien Race knew that humanity had a genius Blood God who was comparable to Marquis Immortal, possessing such strength after only tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

Killing the Blood God is enough to prove the strength of Marquis.

"Although Sinaike isn't exactly a good bait, I'll spare his life this time, since you caught a big fish for me!"

" Blood God, are you ready for how you're going to die?"

As Kongshan was speaking, two more terrifying auras rose up around the battlefield, their power comparable to Kongshan's.

"Three Demon Race worthy of Marquis!"

Wuerdi's eyes revealed deep despair. If it were just Kongshan alone, he and the Blood God, along with Zhang Junbao's Cloud-Touching Vine, might not be without a chance.

However, Kongshan did not come alone, but brought two Demon Race of similar strength with him, obviously to witness the moment he killed the Blood God and stepped into the rank of Marquis.
