"Ayang..." The empress uttered softly, her voice extremely thin, a name that came purely from the emotion deep in her heart.

There is no doubt that Xu Yang had already set up a strong enough protective barrier for his only companion, just in case.

An unprecedented sense of security filled the empress's heart. At this moment, she even forgot to guard against the subsequent killing moves of the terrifying assassin in front of her. She only wanted to keep her eyes on the man who protected her from the wind and rain.

The next moment, Xu Yang was standing in front of the empress, staring at Tuoba Hong coldly.

"I think I have found the answer!"

Xu Yang stared at Tuoba Hong's eyes and saw the bright or dim dark green flames in his pupils. He finally found the only way to break the magic circle!

The extremely powerful halo of Tao bloomed instantly!

Xu Yang made his body shine with an incomparably brilliant color. At the same time, the golden Dao Heart Whisk flew out instantly and stabbed Tuoba Hong heavily between the eyebrows.

During the whole process, Tuoba Hong's judgment was affected by Xu Yang's overly powerful aura. When he instinctively wanted to resist, it was too late.

The stinging sensation between his eyes, like a burning flame, made Tuoba Hong scream in pain. He quickly stepped back, gasping for breath, and fell into a brief state of madness.

"Now!"

Xu Yang sent out a soul sound, and the empress immediately released her mental power and began to capture other exits hidden in this space.

Perhaps because of the environmental pressure all around her, the Empress's potential was fully unleashed, and her powerful mental strength penetrated almost every ray of space around her, as if countless pairs of eyes had suddenly grown on her body, wanting to see through this space completely!

"Found it, right above our heads, smash it!"

Xu Yang and the empress had a clear division of labor, one inside and one outside. The cold light of a sword gathered on the top of the head. With a loud bang, the mottled stone wall fragments above their heads cracked again. The dazzling green array pattern finally reappeared after sleeping for more than six thousand years.

"So that's how it is. This is the real entrance to the dragon-slaying battlefield!"

Seeing the only missing hole in the core of the formation, Xu Yang immediately understood that that was where the true function of the Dao Heart Whisk was manifested!

"open!"

Xu Yang roared, and the Dao Heart Whisk rose into the air as if it was given life and inserted into the core position of the formation above his head.

Boom!

In just a moment, an alluring force that had never been extinguished since ancient times suddenly erupted!

The terrifying aura of green light poured down from the top, and every wave of light trembled, as if it had experienced the crushing of waves at the end of the deep sea!

The empress was deeply aware that without Xu Yang's protection, she would never be able to find this place in her lifetime, let alone find Taotie...

How terrifying is this pressure?

Fortunately, the strong aura of Taoist techniques was mostly offset by Xu Yang.

However, Tuoba Hong, whose eyes had temporarily lost their function, was not so calm. He was pinned to the ground by this tremendous pressure and could hardly move at all!

The magic circle that he had carefully planned out before completely lost its effect at this moment.

"rise!"

Xu Yang protected the empress with his Taoist power and soared into the air. Under the gathering of endless Taoist light, he flew out of the enclosed space, followed the core of the formation, and drilled out of the underground cave.

The next moment, Xu Yang and the empress saw an incredible scene!

In front of us is this extremely wide new space, and above our heads we can see the endless blue deep sea, but it is at least a thousand meters above the ground!

The ancient and blood-stained temple in front of him was exactly what a dragon-slaying battlefield should look like.

There were white bones everywhere on both sides. It was the scene where countless predecessors of the Qingtian Dao Sect and the Guiying Shura lineage had fallen. Even after all these years, stepping into the scene again, it still seemed extremely tragic.

“Boy, be careful!

There is a dragon's aura around this ancient temple!"

"oh?"

In his mind, the voice of the guardian dragon soul suddenly came out, making Xu Yang more serious.

"So, the dragon-slaying battle six thousand years ago still failed to kill the real dragon?"

"Have you forgotten what the Sea Spirit General said?

Mu Qingtian and the Ghostly Shura King should have merged with the real dragon's body, which in itself should be the biggest variable!

If the power of the complete True Dragon Source is really inherited by those two guys, you will face the strongest opponent that has ever appeared in this era of the continent!"

Xu Yang couldn't help but ask back: "How high can one's cultivation reach?"

"If he is still alive, he may have reached the stage of transcending tribulation!"

"Humph, I want to see how much pressure the first Tribulation Realm expert I encounter since coming out of seclusion can bring to me!"

With a wave of his palm, the Dao Heart Whisk once again released brilliant golden light. Xu Yang slowly rose into the air, looking down at the blood-stained temple and exerted an extremely powerful mental pressure.

"Whether it's the Qingtian Dao Sect or the Ghost Shadow Shura, if the two of you are still alive, today, let me experience your strength!"

Xu Yang waved his hand, and the golden light of the Dao Heart Whisk expanded to an unprecedented level. The power that burst out in an instant was enough to shake the entire underground palace!

Boom!

With an explosion of terrifying power, Xu Yang immediately landed in front of the empress and used his body to block the explosive force that almost destroyed everything around him. To some extent, the power of this attack was comparable to the power of the peak state of Hedao!

“Oh my god…

I finally understand why you are so calm no matter what kind of danger you encounter. It turns out that your strength is no longer comparable to that of a mere Divine Infant Realm!

Can you tell me what your upper limit is?"

Boom!

When the whisk was embedded deeply into the center of the temple's protective halo, shattering the halo emitted by the temple, the entire ancient dragon-slaying battlefield suddenly became extremely quiet, so quiet that only the empress's tentative questions were left.

Looking at the back of the man in front of her, the empress didn't know why she felt that he was so strange for the first time...

After going through so much, Xu Yang finally burst out with his true strength for the first time in front of the empress. The incomparable power that could shake the world was hidden in his mysterious body.

“I can only say that the path of cultivation that I, Xu Yang, take is completely different from everyone else’s. You are pursuing a breakthrough, while I am pursuing the ultimate entry!

My cultivation and that of others are in two completely different directions."

The empress did not ask any more questions. She understood that it was very rare for Xu Yang to tell her these things. Maybe even his goddess disciples did not know these secrets.
