Simultaneously traverse through the heavens, using the equipment slots to conquer all realms.

Elder Li sat cross-legged deep within the Daoist earth, his aura as deep as an abyss. His eyes flashed with dark light, filled with demonic power. A Daoist treasure bottle floated behind him, swallowing the heavens and earth, causing people's very essence to tremble.

He Lang sat opposite him, his face calm. The devouring power of the Devouring Demon Art was nothing to him. His origin was like an ancient divine mountain. No matter how the Devouring Demon Art tried to take it away, it could not shake him in the slightest.

"Disciple, the reason I called you back this time is because you challenged the holy sons and daughters of many great sects in the Eastern Wilderness, making a name for my Yao Guang Holy Land. For your safety, I have asked you to return to the Holy Land."

Upon hearing He Lang's words, Elder Li's Great Dao Bottle transformed into essence and returned to his body, making his gaze even more captivating. He stared at He Lang again and again, his thoughts a complex mix.

This disciple I picked up is incredibly talented! In less than a year, he has already broken through from the Dao Palace realm to the Four Extremes realm. His origin is flawless and pure, a unified whole, which even I, a powerful being at the second level of the Immortal Platform realm, cannot shake.

When He Lang was sent out to travel, he never expected that in less than a year, this disciple would have established an invincible reputation, surpassing even the current generation of holy sons, causing many people in the Yao Guang Holy Land to have a headache.

It's certainly gratifying to have two supreme beings in one family, but when both of them aspire to the path of emperor, it becomes a disaster.

This disciple rose to prominence so quickly that his entire lineage was caught off guard.

The reason he was chosen to pass on the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was to cultivate a great medicine for the world, so that the true successor of the Undying Heaven Art could achieve his own success through it.

However, this disciple has now taken the initiative in cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, threatening the Holy Son of Yao Guang who is cultivating the Undying Heaven Art.

Those who cultivate the Undying Heavenly Art can indeed restrain those who cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. However, if the Devouring Heaven Demon Art cultivator's realm is too high, the situation will be different. The Undying Heavenly Art cultivator will be refined by the Devouring Heaven Demon Art cultivator.

"Oh? What does Master mean?"

"The Holy Land wants to send you a few protectors at the Sendai realm to prevent the old fogies from other Holy Lands from making any underhanded moves."

Elder Li noticed He Lang's doubts and explained the plans of the higher-ups of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"I don't need any protectors. If someone protects me, I'll feel a sense of reliance. How can that help me grow? If I can't give it my all and risk my life, how can I unleash my full potential?"

Upon hearing this, He Lang immediately rejected the Holy Land's arrangements.

"I need no protectors; I am invincible in this world!"

His words resonated powerfully, striking Elder Li like thunder, allowing him to feel the invincible spirit in Elder Li's heart.

She knew that words alone could not change He Lang's mind.

"I think Master, you called me back for more than just this one thing, right? Master, please tell me everything at once."

He asked this question because Elder Li's actions, which were ostensibly to test his cultivation but were actually to probe his strength, made He Lang realize some of his intentions.

This shows they don't trust him!

He wanted to see what the Ruthless Clan was planning. If they made the wrong choice, he wouldn't mind rebelling against the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"Speaking of which, I had some doubts during my recent travels. Not long ago, I disguised myself and joined the Tai Xuan Sect. On the Tai Xuan Sect's Star Peak, I discovered a young prodigy who also cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. His name was Hua Yunfei. Is he also the chosen successor of our lineage?"

Upon hearing He Lang mention Hua Yunfei, Elder Li's expression instantly changed, and his eyes sharpened.

This was another successor chosen by their lineage, and he never expected to encounter him with his own disciple.

Seeing the perfectly timed look of confusion on He Lang's face, Elder Li knew that his disciple might already have some ideas in mind.

Thinking of the recent discussions that had erupted within their lineage, Elder Li knew it was time to have a serious talk with this disciple.

"I think you already have the answer in your heart. That's right, he is also the successor chosen by our lineage. Not only him, we have also chosen some other geniuses. The Holy Son of Yaoguang is also someone chosen by our lineage."

Elder Li glanced at He Lang as he spoke, and was surprised to find that He Lang's expression remained calm.

"You don't seem too surprised?"

"There's nothing surprising about this. It's just a few more practitioners of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. They're no match for me, not even our Holy Son!"

He Lang already knew about these situations, so he wasn't surprised. Moreover, even if Hua Yunfei, Yao Guang Shengzi, and Jiang Yifei attacked together, it wouldn't put too much pressure on him.

Perhaps the three were insurmountable mountains for other geniuses, but for him, they were nothing special. He wasn't joking when he spoke to Ye Fan.

Looking at his composed disciple, Elder Li fell silent, knowing that his other objective was also about to fail.

"The Holy Son of Yaoguang does not cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, but the Undying Heaven Art. The Undying Heaven Art is a supreme heaven art created by the second generation of his ancestor, and it is even more profound."

This is another matter I want to tell you. Some people believe that you can become a protector of our lineage in the future, without having to follow the path of God. Therefore, they want you to go into seclusion and fulfill the wishes of the Holy Son of Yaoguang.

Elder Li's tone was hesitant and his voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Heh, seclusion? To fulfill one's wishes? Which old geezer said that?" He Lang was very displeased upon hearing this and immediately started cursing.

His fearless attitude made Elder Li's face turn green; he had just taken in a tyrant!

"Shut up! That sage is a pillar of our lineage; he will not appear unless there is great chaos."

Elder Li quickly raised his hand to seal off the void, then glared at He Lang with annoyance.

"Master, go and tell them that I will not agree to this matter. Furthermore, since the second generation of the Great Emperor Ancestor created the Supreme Heavenly Technique, as the inheritor of our lineage, I also want to see the Undying Heavenly Technique."

He Lang's eyes lit up; he knew his chance had come!

He had always wanted to read about the Undying Heavenly Art, but he hadn't found an opportunity to bring it up before. Now that Elder Li had explained everything, he naturally wouldn't hold back.

Clearly, what he demonstrated was more valued by the Ruthless Clan than what Hua Yunfei showed, and they all designated him as their future protector.

"That's impossible! The Undying Heavenly Technique will only be passed on to its true inheritors."

Elder Li shook his head, directly rejecting He Lang's request.

"The true successor? Isn't that me?" Now that the Ruthless Lineage has started to play their cards openly, He Lang will stop pretending!

A wisp of supreme energy revived from his body, making him resemble an ancient emperor, his aura majestic, seemingly capable of suppressing the eternal heavens and sweeping across the nine heavens and ten earths.

The lid of the Devouring Demon Jar flew out from his primordial spirit platform, and thousands of strands of dark light fell down. The extreme imperial aura spread, and even a wisp of aura made Elder Li's body feel like it was about to crack and his soul tremble.

On the ancient pottery lid, a ghostly face that seemed to be both crying and laughing was clearly visible, with intricate innate patterns flowing through it, leaving Elder Li's mind blank.

"This is the ultimate sacred weapon of our ruthless ancestor! The Devouring Demon Jar! Where...where did you find it?"

Elder Li's heart trembled; he never expected that He Lang would find this supreme imperial weapon.

For the ruthless lineage, this was an absolutely earth-shattering and momentous event.
