I also have air in line let me share the details.
I have change rear brakes and did not bleed and drove for a short period of time and I notice my brake was going all the way to the floor. So I bleed the rear brakes and now I can not stop at all now so the car has been sitting.
I bleed all calibers which I did the FL, FR, RR, and RL till nothing I did see bubbles come out. I have no clue what to do now. The process I did was open to bleed and push brake to the floor and closed. Then open, push brake, then close I did until I did not see anymore bubbles.
I'm trying to sell the car just need to fix this problem.

If your pedal is still going to the floor after bleeding the system, about the only thing you can do is consider replacing the master cylinder. And learn how to bench bleed that master before you put it on, get a pressure bleeder when you bleed the entire system with the new master cylinder.

I am not sure your bleed procedure was good. Suggest reading this thread.
