Xu Yang did not express his opinion throughout the whole process, but just sat cross-legged in the air calmly to recover his strength.

The powerful cultivation foundation combined with the special recovery ability of the Ice Illusion allowed Xu Yang to return to the peak at the fastest speed.

“Humph, you little bastard, you’re just trying to please this boy, right?

There is just one thing I don’t understand. Is it really worth it for you to help him so much?

Of course I understand the rules of the Hanyue Empire, but if there is no result between you and him in the end, everything you face in the future will be borne by you alone.

Tuoba Hong is originally from the Northern Jin royal family. Aren't you afraid that the entire Northern Jin will blame the Hanyue Empire in the future?"

Although Taotie is a spiritual beast and does not get involved in the worldly ties and disputes of humans, his IQ is no different from that of humans. He naturally understands the pros and cons. He is really considering the empress.

In response to its kind reminder, the empress just smiled and shook her head: "If it weren't for Ayang, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to save my five disciples. He has done so much for me along the way. No matter what I have to face in the future, I will not regret it."

The Empress and Taotie were communicating with each other through the spirit, and no one else could hear it.

Taotie let out a long sigh, and seemed to have finally made up his mind to give it a try.

The empress certainly has selfish motives, but the analysis she made is undoubtedly the best option for Taotie at the moment.

"Boy, if I offer myself to you as a sacrifice, can you do anything for me?"

Taotie did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point with Xu Yang, expressing his desire to sacrifice himself to him, which shocked Xu Yang immediately!

“You, what did you say?

Want to sacrifice to me?"

Xu Yang was shocked!

No matter what, Taotie is an ancestral beast from the ancient times. There are probably only a few hundred of its level and cultivation among the billions of beasts in the entire continent.

Throughout the countless years of the entire continent, there have been records of powerful human beings who have received sacrifices from the blood of the ancient world. Together, they can be counted on one's fingers, and all of them are top figures who dominated an era.

In a sense, being able to receive the sacrifice of the ancient bloodline is itself an incomparable supreme honor.

Taotie is also a superior creature among the ancient spiritual species. His fighting power is obvious. Even Xu Yang can't tell how much benefit his sacrifice will bring, but there is no doubt that the increase in his own cultivation and overall strength will be enormous.

In fact, the reason why Xu Yang has never offered a single sacrificial beast in the past 100,000 years of cultivation is because he has never put his mind on it before. His main cultivation direction has always been to improve his own strength and realm. He has never thought of forcibly using external forces to improve himself through the method of sacrifice.

But now, Xu Yang has already stepped over the biggest bottleneck of the ten thousandth level of Qi Refining and reached the true realm of controlling the Dao. He does not need to worry about any negative effects. Therefore, obtaining the sacrificial bloodline of a prehistoric beast at this time will undoubtedly be a great opportunity.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Yang was more excited to receive the sacrifice from Taotie than to obtain the Dragon Source.

"It's rare for you to have such awareness. In fact, I have long thought of using this method to help you recover, but I know that for a prehistoric beast, asking it to sacrifice is an insult to its dignity, so I didn't propose this idea."

Taotie sighed softly: "In fact, I have long determined that you will have a brighter future. Your future will surely shine on the entire continent. Being able to protect you is perhaps not an insult but an honor for an old guy like me who has lived for a million years in vain.

Boy, without further ado, let's get started now."

Xu Yang nodded intently, then shook his body and flew above the Taotie's head. The two powerful men emitted an extremely bright light at the same time, which made the entire ice illusion pale in comparison.

“Oh my God!

This aura..." The empress was indeed both surprised and worried.

The surprise was because Taotie finally agreed with his idea, and Xu Yang would get this great opportunity.

The worry is that the power generated by the sacrifice and fusion of these two guys will be too strong and cause the entire illusion to collapse.

In this way, Tuoba Hong would undoubtedly have an opportunity to take advantage of. If he were to launch a sneak attack while the two were sacrificing, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Oops……

The illusion space has begun to tremble!

All of us will help the Empress, transfer our spiritual power to her, and work together to maintain the illusionary space!"

At the critical moment, Bai Lianxue spoke and united more than a dozen people from the two factions, forming a big circle to transmit spiritual power to the empress.

Soon, a ray of azure light emanated from the empress and quickly gathered around the entire ice illusion. With the combined strength of everyone, they were able to barely maintain the shock of the illusion.

There is no doubt that once the mature primordial spirit species is sacrificed, the energy it releases will be as terrifying as an entire ocean pouring out.

At this moment, Xu Yang was undoubtedly enveloped by endless spiritual essence, and his body was further transformed and sublimated under the subtle baptism of this huge energy.

"Boy, your chance is really extraordinary. Although Taotie is not as powerful as the dragon and phoenix bloodlines, it is also a dominant existence among the primitive spirit species. It is almost the strongest sacrifice that your current body can bear. With its amplification blessing, you can already fight against Tuoba Hong and the ghost Shura at the same time by yourself!"

The voice of the guardian dragon soul came into Xu Yang's mind. As Xu Yang's host and soul guardian, the old dragon was really happy for Xu Yang.

The entire sacrificial process lasted for eight hours!

Of course, since Xu Yang continued to absorb energy in this process, his previous fatigue had been swept away and his body reached an unprecedented strength.

When a green light appeared in the soul space, half of Taotie's soul source was completely engraved together with Xu Yang's life. At the same time, Taotie's broken inner elixir was directly transferred into Xu Yang's own sea of ​​​​heart, and it was repaired by the purest power of Tao and a part of the true dragon origin there.

“If we can obtain the Dragon Source this time, I will try to use the power of the Dragon Source to help you completely heal your injuries.

But the specific situation depends on the outcome of this battle. I must respect Mu Qingtian's opinion. If he insists on not agreeing, we can only look for other opportunities."

Taotie's deep voice echoed from Xu Yang's mind: "Nonsense.

Now you hold my life in your hands, so of course everything you say is right!"

Xu Yang: "Please, don't act like I'm bullying you, okay?

Is it really unfair for you to be my protector? "

The man and the beast did tease each other, but after the joke, Taotie suddenly became extremely serious and remembered what the Empress Xue Qinghan had said before.
