MC and SC problems, tried some stuff, need help.

My clutch stopped working about a week ago. No pedal pressure at all. I checked the lines and there aren't any leaks. I took the slave cylinder off, and it appeared to be bad, so I replaced it. I then attempted to bleed the system, and it was blowing out air and fluid from the bleeder screw. we did it 10+ times and there was no increase in pedal pressure and no change in the resivior level. I'm guessing the only other thing it could be is the MC, but I just want to see if theres anything else I should try before I go out and buy a MC.

Usually when the clutch MC goes bad, it leaks inside and brake fluid runs down the floorboards under the carpeting. Have you checked there for signs of fluid? You might also have air that got in the line at the SC end and rose up to the MC. You can use the hardline fitting on the MC as a bleeder screw. Crack the fitting open to let out air as you push the pedal down, then close it and release the pedal.
