"The other half of the Devouring Demon Canopy is about to appear in the World because of the Ruthless Great Emperor's dojo!"
A bombshell announcement has been made, sending shockwaves through the entire Eastern Wilderness.
"It seems that the Ruthless lineage is up to no good!" Upon hearing this news, Nangong Zheng's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood. Familiar with the original work, he immediately realized that this was a trap deliberately set by the Ruthless lineage for their successor!
The Devouring Demon Jar is divided into two parts. The jar's body is in the bandit Tu Tian's hands, known to the whole World. The other half is in the hands of Nangong Zheng, and apart from the fat Taoist Duan De, no one else knows about it.
At the moment, rumors have spread worldwide that to open the Ruthless Man's Dojo, one must combine the power of various physiques, including the Heavenly Demon Body, the Divine Body, and the Holy Body, and use their blood as a sacred sacrifice.
Clearly, this is the Ruthless Clan's plan to collect a large amount of blood to lure people from various forces to their deaths to obtain their blood elixir and ensure the succession of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.
"I heard that Tu Tian, the great bandit from the Northern Region, is also going there, wanting to collect the Devouring Demon Lid and merge it with his own jar!"
"I've heard that the Ruthless Man's Dojo is about to reveal its lineage. Could it be that the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, which has been dormant for many years, is about to reappear in the World!"
"The Divine King Physician of the Ji family, Yan Ruyu, the descendant of the Demon Emperor, the Divine King Physician of the Jiang family, and other outstanding young talents such as the Innate Dao Embryo will all be going there!"
In the Eastern Wilderness, discussions were in full swing. Everyone was shocked. This commotion was too great. Even many holy lands and worlds could not remain calm and were preparing to go to the ruthless man's dojo in the Northern Region to seek "immortal opportunities".
"The ruthless lineage is indeed cunning!" Nangong Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.
"It seems that we can also explore this Ruthless Man's Dojo. Firstly, to complete the Devouring Demon Jar, and secondly, to collect the blood collected by those Ruthless Man's lineage," Nangong Zheng thought to himself, a smile playing on his lips.
He had kept the Devouring Demon Cover hidden all this time for this very day. If it were exposed, the Ruthless Clan's scheme would fail. Now that the Ruthless Clan had set up a trap, it suited his purposes perfectly. He was planning the greatest opportunity ever: to reap the rewards from everyone!
When he had a sudden thought, he used the Great Art of Changing Heaven and Earth to transform his appearance, becoming an older man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a Taoist robe, exuding an air of otherworldly grace.
Without hesitation, he traversed the void and headed straight for the Northern Region!
The Yunduan Mountains are steep and rise into the clouds, hence the name Yunduan (meaning "cloud-broken").
Although this mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, it is unclaimed by any sect and is an unclaimed land.
It's not that this place isn't beautiful enough, but rather that over a thousand years ago, several major sects established their teachings here, only to be destroyed. Therefore, this place is considered unlucky, and no one dares to establish a sect here anymore.
In the central region of the mountain range, there is a broken mountain, very thick and with a flat cross-section, like a peerless weapon unfolded, forming a huge platform!
There were many figures above, but it didn't feel crowded because it was so vast that it seemed empty!
Cultivators were everywhere, and a steady stream of them was flying in from all directions in jade boats, divine carriages, and war chariots.
From cultivators who have just opened the Sea of Bitterness to powerful beings at the Sendai Realm, they all came for the Devouring Demon Canopy. Everyone hoped that they would be the chosen ones to obtain the Demon Canopy!
Many people came from the Yao Guang Holy Land, the Ji family, the Zi Fu Holy Land, and the Jiang family. Among them were not only young talents but also powerful figures.
Nangong's transformation into an older man went unnoticed, and he was happy with it, quietly waiting for his chance to strike.
"The two major bandits from the Northern Region have arrived!" someone whispered.
"The Azure Dragon King and the bandit Tu Tian!" someone exclaimed in shock.
The two arrived together, riding on auspicious clouds. One was dressed in blue, tall and imposing, exuding authority without anger. The other was an older man in gold, vigorous and energetic, with a small pottery jar hanging from his waist.
"The Devouring Demon Jar!" Nangong Zheng's eyes blazed as he stared at the small pottery jar at Tu Tian's waist.
That is the body of the Devouring Demon Jar, which is also the body of the first incarnation of the Ruthless Great Emperor!
Before his first life, the ruthless Great Emperor used his own unparalleled flesh and blood as clay, supplemented with the endless divine materials of the Eastern Wilderness, to burn his body into a pottery jar!
If one's own Devouring Demon Lid is combined with it, it becomes the complete Devouring Demon Jar!
Speaking of which, Tu Tian is a person with extraordinary luck. He effortlessly found this pottery jar in a dry ancient riverbed near the Cloud-Broken Mountains. And it was with this jar that Tu Tian, the great bandit, rose to the ranks of the seventh greatest bandit in the Northern Region!
He remembered that in the original story, the big black dog, which accidentally entered a sacred desert to find the treasure of the Ruthless Man's Dojo, was trapped for more than a hundred years.
Soon, several people arrived, including most of the young talents and the supreme elders of the various holy lands. Nangong Zheng noticed that many of them were lying in the shadows and did not show themselves.
With almost everyone present, the leaders of the various factions whispered among themselves and discussed the matter. Then, the holy lands and aristocratic families each collected the sacred blood of their respective factions.
They came together to a place that had been excavated as an altar!
The altar wasn't very large, but it was made of various rare and unusual stones, and it was etched with the mottled marks of wind and frost.
The elders of the major powers began the sacrifice, dripping various kinds of precious blood of different constitutions onto the altar.
The next moment, the void distorted, the light blurred, everything deformed, and a passage appeared.
The passage was thin, semi-transparent, and somewhat blurry. In a daze, they saw time flowing and time disordered, as if they were crossing the river of time.
"The entrance to the Ruthless Man's Dojo has appeared!" Everyone was shocked, then overjoyed. The kings rose, and the dojo was indeed opened.
"Charge!"
Many cultivators were excited and rushed in, shouting, all wanting to obtain the imperial weapon and inheritance as soon as possible.
Of course, most of them were independent cultivators. The people from the holy lands and aristocratic families were relatively calm. They only sent a small number of people into the dojo, and most of them waited until it was safe before filing in.
Nangong Zheng entered slowly; he knew this was a trap, so he wasn't in a hurry.
When he entered, he was somewhat surprised to discover a hidden World beyond the passage.
Inside the ruthless man's dojo, mountains had collapsed, ancient caves were silent and cracked, and broken walls and ruins lay everywhere. It was a desolate place, as if everything had ceased to exist.
This place may have been glorious in the past, but now it is desolate and almost completely dilapidated, except for some half-collapsed buildings.
Inside the Ruthless Man's Dojo, in an ancient cave isolated by an array of patterns.
Here, a group of gray-clad men sat cross-legged, each incredibly powerful and astonishingly cultivated. They coldly observed everything happening within the training ground, a detached smile playing on their lips, as if everything was under their control.
"The time has come for the mortals to harvest the fragrant seeds of divine medicine," a man in gray said calmly.
Beside the ancient cave stood a man, dressed in flowing blue robes, ethereal and handsome like a banished immortal. Standing at the cave entrance, he remained expressionless upon hearing these words, silently observing everything within the ruthless man's dojo...
