A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"Li Daoqing! You're back?!"

"Once we escape, we will make Yao Guang pay with his blood!"

Only now did the king of the Ruthless lineage realize that the previous actions of the Holy Lord of Yaoguang were all preparations for the complete elimination of the Ruthless lineage!

"Humph!"

"No need for later! I, Yaoguang, will pay for this right now with my blood!"

"Disciples of Yaoguang! ...Follow me in this blood sacrifice!"

Lord Yao Guang, Li Daoqing, snorted coldly, and the golden halo around him trembled.

The next second, he slit his wrist, raised his arm high, and chanted the Yao Guang Sutra while gathering his own blood on his Emperor Cauldron Mark, attempting to compete with the Ruthless Lineage King for control of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.

Behind him, more than ten brave and powerful members of the Yao Guang sect and hundreds of Yao Guang disciples also cut their wrists and recited sacrificial texts.

"Heavenly gates and earthly gates, the radiant light falls upon the stars! One recitation makes ghosts and gods weep, another obscures the sun and moon!"

"........"

"Humanity is insignificant, but my principles are steadfast!"

"The path to immortality is vast and boundless, my own path is utterly confused!"

"The ways of the ghosts are not my domain!"

"High and pure, a mournful song to soothe the soul!"

"The heavens are in turmoil, my Dao is supreme!"

"The stars tremble and the cauldron shakes, slaying all demonic forces!"

"Holy Art of Primordial Chaos, protect my universe!"

"Where the holy light reaches, all evil is burned away!"

"......"

"Bring the cauldron!"

With a shout from the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, countless crimson bloodstains shimmering with golden light shot into the sky, transforming into a long river of blood that surged toward the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron!

The moment the crimson river touched the cauldron, the cauldron trembled violently, and nearly half of the dragon patterns turned from crimson-black to black-gold, as if another bloodline will had been awakened!

Both the Yao Guang lineage and the Ruthless lineage have intricate connections with the Ruthless Emperor himself. In addition, the Yao Guang lineage has been worshipping the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron for too long. Therefore, when the two forces start to fight, it really looks like a fierce battle between dragons and tigers!

"Yao Guang... Yao Guang!"

The ruthless king roared and frantically activated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art. The crimson and black dragon patterns surged again, violently tearing at the black and gold dragon patterns on the cauldron.

The two blood sacrifice forces clashed with each other, causing the cauldron to rumble continuously, making the entire Yao Guang Holy Land tremble under the pull of the two forces.

In another hall, Elder Yanyue saw Li Daoqing return to share her burden, and her turbulent blood and qi calmed down considerably.

"Holy Lord! You've suppressed the Ruthless Clan! Leave the rest to me!"

Having said that, Elder Yanyue regained his energy and spirit, intending to activate the Nine Li Diagram again, taking advantage of the Ruthless People's lineage's illness to take their lives.

However........

The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron holds extraordinary significance for the Ruthless Clan, serving as the very foundation of their lineage, which lacks any sacred ground heritage. Therefore, the Ruthless Clan's leader was well-prepared for this situation!

"Li Daoqing! You can't control me!"

The ruthless king sneered, and the next second, a small jade bottle flew out from his sleeve.

The moment the cork was pulled out, a rich, almost tangible aura of celestial beings filled the air.

That's... the aura of a ruthless person!

The ruthless king raised his hand and a drop of dark red immortal blood flew out of the bottle and accurately entered the core of the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron!

"Buzz!~"

The dragon-patterned black and gold cauldron suddenly trembled, and the black and gold dragon patterns on the cauldron quickly faded away, while the crimson and black dragon patterns surged wildly. The entire imperial cauldron seemed to be completely awakened from its slumber, and its imperial might surged out like a tsunami!

"This is... the blood of a ruthless person?! Where did you steal it from?!"

Li Daoqing's expression changed drastically. He recognized the aura of the blood at a glance. It was the imperial blood brought out from the Bronze Immortal Palace during the joint operation in the Eastern Wilderness!

But... wasn't the Ruthless Emperor's Blood of the Yao Guang Holy Land already used to sacrifice to the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron to strengthen the connection with the Holy Land? So where did the Ruthless Emperor's Blood in the hands of the Ruthless lineage's king come from?

The ruthless king laughed wildly: "What do you mean by stolen? I call this welcoming the return of ancestral blood!"

"Don't forget, the forces that possess the blood of the Emperor Ancestor have never been limited to the Yao Guang family!"

As the king of the Ruthless lineage said, although the amount of Ruthless Immortal Blood brought out from the Bronze Immortal Palace last time was not much, it was not exceptionally rare. If one was willing to pay a great price, it could still be obtained from other forces.

Of course, he obtained this drop of Ruthless Immortal Blood by using the Ruthless lineage's scriptures to lure powerful figures from other holy lands, who then stole it from those holy lands.

If Ji Ziyue is qualified to wear the Ruthless Man's Ring, then powerful figures from other forces naturally also have the ability to access or even steal the Ruthless Man's Immortal Blood.

The moment the ruthless immortal blood was unleashed, the previously stalemate was instantly broken.

The black-gold radiance of the Yao Guang Holy Land was steadily defeated by the crimson-black radiance of the Ruthless lineage, and was on the verge of being completely extinguished.

Just then...

A white-clad immortal figure shattered the void and arrived!

Lin Xiu raised his palm, and a drop of true red immortal blood appeared in his palm, its aura almost identical to that of the drop in the hand of the ruthless lineage king!

Only after careful examination can one discover that the Ruthless Immortal Blood in Lin Xiu's hands is subtly different from that in the hands of the powerful figures of the Ruthless lineage. The Ruthless Immortal Blood in Lin Xiu's hands is purer, more powerful, and has a richer aura of immortality.

Because... this ruthless immortal blood was the manifestation of the immortal blood Dao essence that Xiao Nannan gave him after he was drained dry once!

Chapter 340 I understand the reasoning, but please put down the imperial weapon in your hand first.

The Daoist essence of the Ruthless Immortal Blood that Lin Xiu copied was far superior to the Ruthless Immortal Blood that the various holy lands of the Eastern Wilderness obtained from the Bronze Immortal Palace in terms of both purity and strength!

"go with!"

Lin Xiu flicked his finger, and the immortal blood Dao essence he copied transformed into a stream of light, precisely entering the Emperor Cauldron!

"Boom!~"

The violent tremors of the dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron paused briefly, then erupted with an unprecedented radiance! It was more intense and powerful than ever before!

The black and gold dragon pattern spread rapidly from the center of the cauldron, briefly forming a clear distinction with the red and black dragon pattern. Then, it spread unstoppably, completely suppressing the blood sacrifice power of the Ruthless lineage!

"How is this possible?!"

The king of the Ruthless lineage was shaken to his core, for he simply couldn't understand how Lin Xiu's imperial blood, being of the same ruthless lineage, could surpass his own and instantly seize control of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron from him!

Not to mention him, even Li Daoqing was stunned.

Back when Ye Fan was undergoing his tribulation, in order to wash away the Innate Dao Diagram, he saw Lin Xiu take out a drop of Ruthless Emperor's Blood. The previous Ruthless Emperor's Blood, plus this drop which is slightly different from the previous one... were all brought out by Ye Fan from the Bronze Immortal Palace?

Why does he feel that... Lin Xiu is the real ruthless remnant?

Before the Holy Lord of Yaoguang could think further, a dazzling purple light suddenly flashed in the sky, followed by a clear, resounding bell sound that echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"Ding~.......Clang!~"

The Wanlong Bell hangs high in the sky, and as its body vibrates, a circle of visible purple sound waves rapidly spreads out.

Wherever the sound waves passed, the ruthless cultivators who were performing the blood sacrifice froze, and the blood and formations they were gathering in their hands were forcibly shattered!

As the cultivators of the Ruthless lineage were forced back, the black dragon patterns activated by the Ruthless Immortal Blood also paused.

Taking advantage of this opening, Lin Xiu once again unleashed a Ruthless Immortal Blood Dao Aura.

With the infusion of the second wave of Ruthless Immortal Blood Dao Aura, the blood sacrifice of the Ruthless lineage finally could not hold on any longer, and the last bit of crimson black on the cauldron was completely swallowed up by black gold!

The cauldron trembled violently, and the black dragon patterns that were still moving around all raised their heads and let out a deep dragon roar. Then, it flew up and flew towards the Yao Guang Main Hall where the Yao Guang Holy Lord was! It stood above Lin Xiu, the Yao Guang Holy Lord, and many Yao Guang disciples!

Thus... control of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron has finally changed hands!

The ruthless king's face turned deathly pale instantly. He stood there, his hands still in the blood sacrifice posture, but he could no longer feel any connection with the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron.

That's it!

Even the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron has been lost, what are we going to do?

Fortunately, Princess Wanlong was very kind.

To avoid causing the ruthless king to worry, she didn't even give him the time to worry, and directly charged towards him with the dragon aura filling the sky!

The Dragon Emperor's daughter held the Myriad Dragon Bell, which shone with purple light as it vibrated. The bell's sound was like a dragon's roar and thunder, carrying the domineering pressure unique to the ancient royal family, and it smashed fiercely towards the great formation where the Ruthless lineage was located!

"boom!"

With the power of the imperial weapon, the purple figure easily broke through the barrier constructed by the Ruthless Man's grand formation, scattering the Ruthless Man to pieces in one strike.

With a single blow, the mountains and rivers shattered, and the other cultivators of the Ruthless Clan were scattered and seriously injured.

The situation of the king of the Ruthless lineage is not good either. Although his strength is stronger than that of the Princess of Ten Thousand Dragons, the Princess of Ten Thousand Dragons has an imperial weapon!

The purple-gold sound waves of the Myriad Dragon Bell solidified into a tangible form, like a true dragon roaring across the heavens, pressing down layer upon layer. Unless he had already become a saint, he could only avoid its sharp edge!

Having finally managed to block the sound waves from the Myriad Dragon Bell, the ruthless king repaired his physical body while casting a sinister glance at the Myriad Dragon Princess.

"An ancient clan's princess? ... This is an internal conflict within our human race. Why are you meddling in other people's business!"

The ruthless king of the lineage truly didn't understand. Lin Xiu was one thing, but why were you, a member of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, meddling in everything?!

"have a finger in the pie?"

"Who said I was meddling? I came here to use you as a stepping stone!"

"How can one break through without going through a bloody battle?"

"Since you're going to die anyway, before you die, contribute your last bit of value to this princess!" Princess Wanlong raised her head high, looking arrogant and self-righteous.

To this, the ruthless king could only say... He understands the reasoning, but first put down the imperial weapon in your hand!

Where has anyone used an Imperial Weapon during a Breakthrough Battle?

Give me your own divine weapon!

"........."

"it is good!"

"Arrogant brat! Even if I die today, I will make you, this arrogant junior, pay the price!"

The ruthless king accepted the challenge from Princess Wanlong in a very open and aboveboard manner.
