The moment Long Aotian saw the Evil Dragon Relic, he felt an extremely strong will calling him.
It was as if this bead had waited countless years just to meet me today.
The evil dragon relic was surrounded by a dark, eerie light, radiating an aura of destruction, yet it was firmly suppressed by the altar.
"Where is this?" The ring spoke again in a soft, melodious voice, followed by the appearance of a phantom figure with white hair.
"Master, you're finally awake." Long Aotian looked at her with some excitement. Life without his master was truly miserable; he felt like he was living worse than a dog.
"What happened? What are you doing in a place like this?"
The white-haired woman frowned, her expression grave. To have found herself in such an environment so soon after waking up was a terrible thing for her.
Long Haotian recounted the whole story, then embellished it, saying all sorts of bad things about Lin Fan. After some modifications, he portrayed himself as someone who was forced into a corner and had nowhere else to go but to come to the sect's forbidden area.
"Foolish! You want to use the fused evil dragon relic? No matter how wronged you are in the sect, no matter how unwilling you are, you can't even think about such an evil thing."
Although the white-haired woman had never seen the Evil Dragon Relic, she could deduce from its malevolent aura that it was an extremely terrifying object destined to destroy the world.
"Master, I had no choice. They were the ones who wouldn't give me a way out. What's wrong with me not wanting to die?" Long Aotian retorted.
"With this Evil Dragon Relic, I can regain my glory, take control of the Azure Sky Sect, stand at the pinnacle of the continent, and help you, Master, rebuild your physical body as soon as possible!"
The white-haired woman looked at him with some disappointment, still unable to understand how her disciple, once a confident, proud, and destined person with a mission, could be so easily misunderstood.
His arrogance, his domineering spirit that seemed to say "I am the only one who can conquer the world," has vanished.
He had only been asleep for a while. Now he was obsessive and insane, pursuing power and authority, yet selfish and reckless.
"Master, please help me one more time. This time I will definitely crush Lin Fan under my feet and make sure he can never rise again." Long Aotian clenched his fists, his eyes filled with madness.
He seemed to see himself defeating all enemies and ruthlessly crushing Lin Fan.
"I will not aid and abet evil. You have truly disappointed me." The white-haired woman snorted coldly, then returned to her ring.
She regretted it somewhat. She shouldn't have taken Long Aotian as her disciple, and she shouldn't have taught him everything she knew. As a result, she had raised a hungry wolf, a wolf that might one day slaughter all living beings.
"Hmph, even if I rely solely on myself and don't depend on anyone else, I can still do it." Long Aotian's face was cold, and then he looked at the Evil Dragon Relic, his eyes revealing a strong greedy desire.
He had already prepared for how to break the altar, and immediately took out a jade bottle containing bright red blood, which he slowly poured into the altar.
This is a beast blood with dark attributes, capable of erasing ancient scriptures.

The altar trembled violently, and the scriptures engraved on it burst forth with intense light, fiercely clashing with the evil dragon's relic.
Seeing the altar putting up a stubborn resistance, and the evil dragon relic still unable to break the seal, Long Aotian became extremely anxious.
Someone has trespassed into the forbidden area, attempting to destroy the altar and seize the Evil Dragon Relic. The sect will definitely notice.
He didn't have much time left; he needed to break the balance between the altar and the evil dragon's relic, and let the evil dragon's relic destroy the altar as soon as possible.
I need power!
A strange fluctuation emanated from the Evil Dragon Relic, seemingly yearning for Long Aotian's help.
Long Aotian's expression shifted uncertainly. Finally, he gritted his teeth, made a snap decision, took off the ring, and threw it at the Evil Dragon Relic.
The evil dragon relic suddenly burst forth with a dazzling black light, heavily surrounding the ring, and then released a powerful suction force, attempting to devour the remnant soul within the ring.
The soul inside the ring fled in panic. The white-haired woman glared fiercely at Long Aotian, never expecting that this traitor would sacrifice himself for power.
She tried to escape, but the power of the evil dragon relic was too strong. With her soul alone, she could not escape that terrifying suction force.
"Long Aotian, you treacherous beast who betrayed your master and ancestors, you will die a horrible death!" she roared, a resolute glint in her eyes. She formed a hand seal, her soul exploded, unleashing a terrifying energy shockwave, leaving only a wisp of her soul to escape.
The evil dragon relic devoured the power of the remnant soul, and in an instant, its light pierced the sky, completely covering the altar.
The altar slowly lost its light, then collapsed instantly, turning into dust.
The Evil Dragon Relic seemed to lose its support and fell to the ground. Long Aotian picked it up, a sinister smile in his eyes, and then opened his mouth and swallowed it.
A surge of immense power instantly filled his entire body, flowing to every limb and bone, with each meridian bearing a violent impact. Then, his aura expanded and rapidly converged in his dantian, condensing into a black golden core.
Long Aotian's power surged steadily, from the first level of the Golden Core stage to the second, third, and finally the seventh level before stopping.
However, after his realm stabilized, the evil dragon relic unleashed an even more terrifying power, attempting to devour his soul.
Long Aotian felt a splitting headache. He covered his head and quickly fled the place, while secretly fighting against the Evil Dragon Relic.
He fled all the way, his heart filled with terror and his head spinning. He endured the excruciating pain and gritted his teeth to persevere.
The Evil Dragon Relic was truly terrifying. If it hadn't undergone thousands of years of changes, weakening most of its power, it probably could have devoured Long Aotian instantly.
When Wu Qiankun arrived outside the forbidden area, he saw Long Aotian escape and collapse on the ground, which surprised him somewhat.
"Junior Brother Aotian, you are truly amazing. I really admire you." He reached out and gently stroked Long Aotian's face, murmuring to himself, before picking him up and disappearing from the spot.
Long Aotian had a dream in which he was walking in an endless darkness, unable to find his way. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain that tormented him for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes, clutching his head and panting heavily.
"Junior Brother Aotian, you're awake." Wu Qiankun walked in carrying a bowl of medicine and asked with some concern when he saw that Aotian's eyes were vacant.
"Senior brother, my head hurts!" Long Aotian's face was pale, and he was sweating profusely.
"This is a phenomenon caused by the fusion of the evil dragon relic. As long as you get through the fusion period, you'll be fine," Wu Qiankun said with a smile.
“But…” he reached up and covered his breast, saying, “Why does my breast hurt too?”
When he tried to get up, his **scalded with a burning, excruciating pain; the tearing sensation was extremely unbearable.
Wu Qiankun's expression changed, and he explained, "Perhaps it's a side effect of fusing with the Evil Dragon Relic."
"Perhaps!" Long Aotian didn't think much of it. He was very touched to see that his senior brother had actually brewed medicine for him.
"Senior brother, you've been so good to me, how can I ever repay you?" He wanted to cry.
Since he was stripped of his status as a direct disciple, no one has been close to him. The female disciples who used to flirt with him have all avoided him, let alone taken care of him like this.
"Fool, what are you saying? Take your medicine and get some rest."
Wu Qiankun smiled gently. Just like coaxing a Daoist partner, he made Long Aotian drink the medicine, then covered him with a blanket, and left satisfied.
Watching his figure disappear, Long Aotian's eyes were strange, mostly confused. Why did his chrysanthemum feel like it was about to explode after fusing with the Evil Dragon Relic?
His second senior brother looked at him strangely, making him feel uneasy and uneasy.
He then checked the situation. The Evil Dragon Relic was hovering in his sea of consciousness, continuously releasing black spiritual energy to nourish and cleanse his meridians and strengthen his physique.
"Eighth level of Golden Core, haha, Lin Fan, I've finally surpassed you. Just wait, I'll definitely crush you under my feet."
He laughed inwardly, as if he had regained all his confidence.
It's a pity that her master was sacrificed. What a beautiful woman, gone just like that. He originally planned to wait until he came to power and helped her rebuild her physical body, then take her into his harem and play some exciting games.
But none of that matters anymore. As long as he stands at the pinnacle of the continent in the future, he can have any kind of woman he wants.
"Sect Leader, something terrible has happened!" Several peak masters rushed over and dragged the sect leader out of the cave.
"Junior brothers and sisters, what's the matter?" He was somewhat lazy, having finally found an opportunity to steal a moment of leisure from his busy schedule.
As it turned out, they had to do something again after only a few minutes. Judging from the expressions of the peak masters, things probably weren't that simple.
"Someone trespassed into the forbidden area and stole the evil dragon's relic."
Elder Xingfeng's expression was solemn. This was a very important matter, and the slightest carelessness could lead to the extermination of his entire family.
Zhao Kuo's old face twitched suddenly, and his arms trembled so badly he almost developed Parkinson's syndrome. The Evil Dragon Relic was the key to the forbidden gate. If that person used the Evil Dragon Relic to open the forbidden gate of the forbidden land, it would be a catastrophe that would destroy the world.
"What happened? When did it happen?"
If the monsters suppressed by the Forbidden Gate are released, it will be a disaster for the entire cultivation world, and he, as the sect leader, will be held responsible.
"Just today, when some of our disciples were patrolling around the forbidden area, they didn't send back any messages. When they found out, they had already been killed. So I went into the forbidden area to check, and when I got there, the Evil Dragon Relic was gone," Elder Xingfeng said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuo rushed into the forbidden area to see what was happening. The altar had crumbled into dust, and the evil dragon relic was nowhere to be found.
He then ordered the law enforcement team to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding area, and to kill any suspicious persons found who could not be captured alive, regardless of their identity.
Back at Xingfeng, they examined the wounds of their dead disciple.
"Junior Sister Leng, what do you think of this matter?" they asked, looking at Leng Xingyue.
"Their wounds do indeed resemble the habits of my Youzhu Peak lineage; almost every direct disciple possesses this level of skill."
Leng Xingyue did not deny it; if he really was her disciple, she would not cover it up.
The other elders all had strange expressions, suspecting that she was showing off how outstanding her disciples were. Half of her nine personal disciples had broken through to the Golden Core Realm, ranking first in the entire sect.
