Wan Gu Yu's brow furrowed, and he secretly became vigilant, as the people from the Immortal Spirit Realm might not be genuinely helping; perhaps they were also here for the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron.
"Fellow Daoist Wan, the Demon Abyss is rampant, and the Spirit Realm's living beings are suffering. How can Cultivators from our Immortal Spirit Realm stand by and do nothing? What's more, the Demon Abyss is ambitious, and if not stopped in time, the entire Spirit Realm might fall into a great catastrophe." Immortal Lord Xiluo looked at Wan Gu Yu and greeted him.
"Fellow Daoist Wan, the Demon Abyss is powerful. By your strength alone, it might be difficult to contend. Why not join forces with us to eradicate the Devil Head and restore peace to the Spirit Realm?" Immortal Lord Xuanqing nodded in agreement.
Wan Gu Yu sneered inwardly. What was the difference between the Cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Realm and the Great Ascension Demon Cultivators of the Demon Abyss? Did they take him for a three-year-old child?
Just as Wan Gu Yu was about to speak, Black Abyss suddenly erupted, his demonic axe carrying monstrous Devilish Qi, striking directly at Immortal Lord Xiluo as if to cleave the heavens and earth!
"Enough nonsense! Since you dare to come today, I'll let you witness my power!" Black Abyss roared, and as his demonic axe struck down, a heart-pounding pressure permeated the surroundings.
Immortal Lord Xiluo's expression remained unchanged. With a gentle lift of her jade Ruyi, the brilliant immortal light barrier instantly became more solid, blocking in front of her. The demonic axe and the immortal light collided, erupting in a deafening roar. The violent energy fluctuations swept through like a hurricane, tearing the already dilapidated Black Market ruins beyond recognition once again.
At this moment, Youze's demonic Dragon Spear pointed directly at Immortal Lord Xuanqing. Amidst surging Dragon Qi, it transformed into a ferocious demonic Dragon, roaring as it charged towards Immortal Lord Xuanqing.
Immortal Lord Xuanqing flicked his whisk, and a clear light flashed. The illusory demonic Dragon was instantly scattered without a trace, and Youze was also forced back several steps by this immense force.
Xuerong and Moying took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Wan Gu Yu. Amidst a surging sea of blood, black long spears shot out like raindrops, directly targeting Wan Gu Yu's vital points.
Wan Gu Yu snorted coldly, his Dao sword suddenly vibrated, and the power of wind and thunder instantly erupted, repelling the sea of blood and black long spears one by one.
The battlefield instantly plunged into chaos. The four Great Ascension Demon Cultivators and the two Immortal Lords from the Immortal Spirit Realm clashed fiercely, with various Spells and Divine Abilities intertwined, erupting in dazzling light. Wan Gu Yu was caught in the middle, having to deal with the Demon Cultivators' attacks while also guarding against the Immortal Spirit Realm's schemes, making his situation extremely perilous.
"Four Symbols Formation, suppress!" Wan Gu Yu roared softly, and the Four Symbols spirits once again burst forth with dazzling light.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise roared in unison as they charged towards the Demon Cultivators. The power of the Four Symbols intertwined to form a giant net, firmly enveloping the entire battlefield.
Upon seeing this, Immortal Lord Xiluo and Immortal Lord Xuanqing's eyes flashed with surprise. They had clearly not expected Wan Gu Yu's Four Symbols Formation to possess such formidable power.
"Fellow Daoist Wan, your methods are indeed extraordinary!" Immortal Lord Xiluo praised, her jade Ruyi releasing streams of spiritual light and Dao principles like flowing water, attempting to assist Wan Gu Yu in suppressing the Demon Cultivators.
However, Wan Gu Yu responded coldly, "Two Immortal Lords, this is a matter of my Wanbao Pavilion. There's no need for you to trouble yourselves!"
Immortal Lord Xuanqing frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Wan, why be so stubborn? The Demon Abyss is powerful. By your strength alone, it might be difficult to contend. Why not join forces with us to eradicate the Devil Head!"
Wan Gu Yu sneered, his Dao sword suddenly vibrated, and the power of wind and thunder erupted, forcing him back. He sternly said, "Immortal Spirit Realm Cultivators, you constantly speak of eliminating demons for the Spirit Realm, but in reality, you are merely here for the 'Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron.' Even if I die here today, I will never hand over the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, the Legacy treasure of the Wanbao Pavilion, to others!"
Immortal Lord Xiluo and Immortal Lord Xuanqing's expressions changed slightly, clearly having been seen through by Wan Gu Yu. They exchanged glances, and a hint of coldness flashed in their eyes.
"Since that's the case, Fellow Daoist Wan, don't blame us for being impolite!" Immortal Lord Xiluo said coldly, and with a sudden flick of her jade Ruyi, it instantly transformed into countless sharp blades, heading straight for Wan Gu Yu.
Wan Gu Yu was besieged on all sides, his situation precarious. Just then, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he softly roared, "Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, appear!"
As his voice fell, a brilliant golden light erupted from his body, followed by the slow emergence of an ancient bronze cauldron, hovering above his head. The bronze cauldron was covered with ancient runes, exuding an endless mysterious power—it was precisely the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, the ultimate treasure of the Wanbao Pavilion!
As soon as the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron appeared, the heavens and earth instantly changed color. Black Abyss, Youze, Xuerong, and Moying were suppressed by the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, and their movements immediately slowed down.
"The Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron is indeed in your hands!" A hint of greed flashed in Immortal Lord Xiluo's eyes.
Immortal Lord Xuanqing flicked his whisk, and a clear light condensed into a giant palm print, pressing down towards Wan Gu Yu. Black Abyss, Youze, Xuerong, and Moying were greatly alarmed and immediately joined in the scramble.
A cold light flashed in Wan Gu Yu's eyes. Facing powerful enemies from all sides, he had already prepared for the worst. The Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron hovered above his head, exuding vast pressure.
"Wan Gu Yu, hand over the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, and we can spare your life!" Immortal Lord Xiluo said coldly, her tone carrying an undeniable authority.
A look of determination flashed in Wan Gu Yu's eyes: "You want the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron? Unless you step over my corpse!"
Before his words finished, he suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of vital blood onto the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron.
As Wan Gu Yu's vital blood surged, the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, like an awakened ancient deity, suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. An ancient and vast power surged out from within the cauldron, soaring straight into the sky. The ancient runes on the bronze cauldron began to flow, releasing extremely dazzling golden brilliance, enveloping Wan Gu Yu and forming an indestructible protective shield.
"Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, awe the universe!" Wan Gu Yu murmured, his voice containing an unyielding resolve.
Guided by his will, the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron seemed to respond to his summons. Its mouth slightly opened, and a sudden suction erupted, drawing in the surrounding rampant Devilish Qi and the spiritual power of the Immortal Spirit Realm, transforming them into pure energy, which then fed back to Wan Gu Yu, causing his cultivation to show signs of Breakthrough at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Black Abyss and the others' expressions changed drastically. The Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron was a ninth-rank extreme Dao Artifact, and seeing its full power unleashed at this moment, they couldn't help but feel a desire to retreat. However, the suction of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron was like invisible chains, firmly restraining them, making it impossible to escape.
Immortal Lord Xiluo and Immortal Lord Xuanqing's eyes showed even greater greed upon seeing this, but at the same time, a hint of apprehension. They had clearly underestimated the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, and even more so, Wan Gu Yu's determination.
"Fellow Daoist Wan, why go to such lengths? As long as you hand over the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, we can ensure your safety and even help you rebuild the Wanbao Pavilion!" Immortal Lord Xiluo's tone carried a hint of temptation, attempting to sway Wan Gu Yu's resolve.
Wan Gu Yu sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Rebuild the Wanbao Pavilion? With you people who harbor ulterior motives? How can the Legacy of my Wanbao Pavilion fall into the hands of others!"
"You want the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, don't you! Today, I'll let you witness the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron!" Wan Gu Yu's words echoed like thunder above the battlefield, his eyes flickering with extreme madness.
As Wan Gu Yu urged it, the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron surged again. The opening of its mouth became even wider, and the suction became even more terrifying, as if it wanted to devour all living beings and energy in the heavens and earth.
The Dao Artifacts and Magic Treasures of those Great Ascension Demon Cultivators, whether it was Black Abyss's demonic axe, Youze's demonic Dragon Spear, or even Xuerong and Moying's blood sea long spears, once they approached the suction range of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, they were like being firmly grasped by an invisible giant hand, involuntarily flying towards the cauldron's mouth.
"No! My demonic axe!" Black Abyss roared, desperately trying to recall his vital Dao Artifact.
However, the suction of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron was too powerful, a power at the rule level. His vital demonic axe traced an arc in the air, finally disappearing into the entrance of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron.
Youze's demonic Dragon Spear likewise did not escape. The spear body trembled violently, and Dragon Qi surged, yet it still could not break free from the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's devouring power.
Youze's eyes were about to split open. His Dragon wings flapped frantically, and true essence surged out of his entire body, constantly struggling with the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron for the demonic Dragon Spear. However, the closer he got, the more terrifying the suction became, and his figure was even pulled so much that he swayed precariously.
Upon seeing this, Xuerong and Moying were greatly alarmed. They hastily retracted their sea of blood and black long spears, retreating rapidly, attempting to escape the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's suction range. However, the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's power seemed to be all-pervasive. Most of the sea of blood was devoured, and the black long spears were also drawn into the cauldron in an instant, turning into nothingness.
Immortal Lord Xiluo and Immortal Lord Xuanqing's expressions were solemn. Although they did not directly attack, the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron clearly exceeded their expectations. Immortal Lord Xiluo's jade Ruyi trembled slightly, immortal light flowing, as she struggled to resist the suction.
"Wan Gu Yu, you're crazy! Such extreme activation of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron will surely result in a backlash!" Immortal Lord Xiluo shouted sternly, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes.
Wan Gu Yu, however, turned a deaf ear. His face was as pale as paper, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the cost of activating the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron was immense. However, his eyes remained firm, as if he had long since disregarded life and death.
The ninth-rank extreme Dao Artifact - Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, condensed with the painstaking efforts of successive Pavilion Masters of the Wanbao Pavilion, contained endless mysteries and power. At this moment, the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron was displaying its most terrifying side, devouring the Dao Artifacts and Magic Treasures of those Great Ascension Demon Cultivators one by one, turning them into its own use, making its power even stronger.
"Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, devour all treasures, devour! devour!" Wan Gu Yu murmured, his voice filled with fanaticism for the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, as he felt one seventh-rank vital Dao Artifact and Magic Treasure after another being completely devoured, and the power that the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron fed back to him.

At this moment, Wan Gu Yu clearly sensed that the connection between the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron and him had reached an unprecedented level, as if it had become a part of his body.
Seeing this, Black Abyss and the others were terrified. They had already lost their vital Dao Artifacts, and their condensed Dao intent was greatly diminished. Facing the continuous exertion of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's power, they felt overwhelmed.
"Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, devour for me!" Wan Gu Yu again spat several mouthfuls of vital blood towards the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, urging it with all his might.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron suddenly trembled, its body's runes burst forth with blinding golden light, and the suction suddenly intensified. Black Abyss, Youze, Xuerong, and Moying could no longer resist, their figures being rapidly pulled closer to the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron.
"No! Wan Gu Yu, you won't die well!" Black Abyss roared, his giant demonic body struggling frantically, but he couldn't break free from the suction. His figure gradually shrank, and he was finally completely devoured by the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron.
Youze, Xuerong, and Moying likewise did not escape. Their figures gradually disintegrated under the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's suction, finally turning into streaks of light and being sucked into the cauldron.
Immortal Lord Xiluo and Immortal Lord Xuanqing's expressions changed drastically. They no longer cared about anything else and retreated rapidly, attempting to escape the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's suction range. However, the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's power seemed to have locked onto them. The suction followed them like a shadow; no matter how they urged their Dao Domains to resist, they still couldn't escape the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's ultimate Dao intent.
"Wan Gu Yu, are you truly going to become an enemy of the Immortal Spirit Realm?" Immortal Lord Xiluo questioned sternly, her heart filled with extreme panic.
A hint of mockery flashed in Wan Gu Yu's eyes, and he retorted, "Immortal Spirit Realm? You are merely a bunch of hypocrites. How are you any different from the Demon Abyss? Today, I will use the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron to eliminate a scourge for the Spirit Realm!"
"Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, devour all treasures, devour! devour!" Wan Gu Yu roared repeatedly, his voice filled with endless resolve, squeezing the power of his collapsing Dao Domain.
As Wan Gu Yu urged it, the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's suction increased several times again, pulling Immortal Lord Xiluo and Immortal Lord Xuanqing's figures precariously.
"Wan Gu Yu, you are seeking your own destruction!" Immortal Lord Xuanqing shouted sternly, his eyes filled with terror.
Wan Gu Yu, however, turned a deaf ear. His body and Mahayana Divine Soul were already on the verge of collapse under the backlash of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's power, but his eyes remained firm. He knew that he could no longer turn back; only by fighting to the death could he win a glimmer of hope for the future of the Human Race.
The next moment, the jade Ruyi in Immortal Lord Xiluo's hand suddenly shattered, the immortal light dissipated, and her figure could no longer be supported, being sucked into the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron. Immortal Lord Xuanqing likewise did not escape. His whisk broke, the clear light collapsed, and he was ultimately devoured by the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron.
"No—!" Immortal Lord Xiluo and Immortal Lord Xuanqing's roars came to an abrupt halt, their figures completely disappearing into the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron.
Wan Gu Yu stood atop the ruins, the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron above his head shining brightly with golden light, and silence reigned all around.
The four Great Ascension Demon Cultivators and the two Immortal Lords from the Immortal Spirit Realm were all devoured by the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, turning into nothingness.
However, Wan Gu Yu's face grew even paler. His body trembled slightly, and blood continuously overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Although the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron's power was strong, the cost of activating it was also extremely immense. His life force was rapidly draining, as if he could collapse at any moment.
Above the battlefield, the light of the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron gradually dimmed, and Wan Gu Yu's body also completely collapsed under the backlash. A look of relief flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly, "The Legacy of the Wanbao Pavilion… will never fall into the hands of others…"
Before his words finished, his figure transformed into specks of golden light, dissipating between heaven and earth.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron hovered in the air. The ancient runes on its body gradually dimmed, finally transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the distance.
Above the battlefield, only the dilapidated Black Market ruins and endless silence remained. Wan Gu Yu, at the cost of his life, activated the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron, suppressing the four Great Ascension Demon Cultivators and the two Immortal Lords from the Immortal Spirit Realm.
However, the price of this battle was his life.
At this moment, a figure quietly appeared—it was Li Mu, who had been hidden in the Painting World Treasure Mansion, observing the battle. He looked in the direction where the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron disappeared and murmured softly, "Wan Gu Yu, the mastermind behind the Wanbao Pavilion, indeed a madman… However, the Legacy of the Wanbao Pavilion will never be cut off like this."
The next moment, Li Mu appeared beside Wan Gu Yu, picked up a storage ring, and then used the Five Elements Escape Technique to pursue in the direction where the Ten Thousand Treasures Cauldron disappeared. (End of Chapter)
