"Boy, I forgot to tell you that the reason why I decided to sacrifice myself to you, besides the win-win situation, was also the strong recommendation of Xue Qinghan.

That girl is devoted to you, you can't let her down!"

Xu Yang was stunned, but Taotie had already injected all the soul conversations between himself and the empress into Xu Yang's mind.

At this moment, an extremely strong emotion suddenly burned up, like a burning flame, deeply engraving the mark of the empress on Xu Yang's life trajectory.

There was a voice telling me that I must not let this woman down no matter what...

The sacrifice is complete.

Xu Yang looked inside his body and found that the strength of his muscles and bones had nearly doubled compared to before. This was all due to the characteristics of Taotie. His bloodline was more abundant and his vitality was so strong that Xu Yang even felt that it would be no problem for him to live for hundreds of thousands more years...

Not only is there an improvement in the physical body and bloodline, but the increase in mental strength is also obvious.

However, what shocked Xu Yang the most was that he shared Taotie's two talents!

One of them is devouring, which is also the most representative and powerful talent of Taotie.

Originally, Xu Yang thought that this talent could only be possessed by animals, but after the sacrifice, Xu Yang discovered that he also possessed such a talent and instinct.

The devouring talent can not only devour spiritual power, but also devour the soul essence of the conquered. This is a bit too overbearing.

Although this is not very humane, after all, one cannot devour the opponent indefinitely, but using it as a killer when necessary will undoubtedly greatly enhance Xu Yang's upper limit of strength.

The origin obtained by swallowing can be unconditionally refined by using the power of blood, without having to expend his own energy. This means that Xu Yang's sustained combat capability and physical reserves are also greatly enhanced.

As for the second talent, Taotie kept it a secret. It seemed that this second talent was not directly inherited by Xu Yang, and he had to get Taotie's permission to use it. The old man did not directly tell Xu Yang what kind of talent it was. He said frankly that he could only use this hidden talent if his life was in danger in the future. It was really a headache.

It can be said that after this improvement, Xu Yang’s overall strength has reached a terrifying level!

Previously, Xu Yang had exerted his strength to his limit and was able to suppress a strong man who was in the initial stage of tribulation.

As for the current Xu Yang, even if he was asked to fight to the peak of the tribulation realm and put all his strength into it, he would be able to fight.

Currently, Xu Yang's only shortcoming in terms of strength is probably his speed and illusion skills.

Compared to an opponent like Ghost Shadow Shura who possesses extreme body movements, Xu Yang asked himself whether he still has a gap in terms of speed.

In addition, even when facing a pure illusionist like the Empress, there will still be flaws in this regard.

In this regard, Taotie's sacrifice does not provide any bonus.

If the Empress enters the Divine Infant Realm, even Xu Yang would not be able to resist her illusion skills...

A powerful aura emanates from the inside out.

When Xu Yang's spirited silhouette appeared in front of everyone again, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by how powerful he became!

"Zizi, is this the increase in power after receiving the sacrifice of a prehistoric-level ancestral beast?

Boss, you're already so powerful already, and now you're not going to let us little brothers live?

"Okay, next time we meet an opponent, we can save our energy. You just need to slaughter everyone by yourself, and we will take advantage of the situation. Hehe!"

Long Kun seems to be happy to retire early. What he would like to do most is to just cling to Xu Yang and enjoy his achievements.

You know, after this battle, as long as Xu Yang reigns over any lineage of the Three Thousand Dao States again, he will be regarded as a top figure, and various forces will probably compete to extend olive branches to recruit him. As a member of Xu Yang's team, these people present will have a bright future.

After all, in this continent where the strong are respected, having strength means having everything...

"alright.

It’s not as exaggerated as you think. Once we leave here safely, I will take some time to help you concentrate on improving your realm.

After all, we will probably face stronger opponents in the future, so we must not let your cultivation fall behind."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, he unconsciously glanced towards the empress. They smiled at each other, as if they had countless words to say to each other, but they were all satisfied in this look.

Boom!

In the sea of ​​fire above his head, there was a sudden and violent tremor without any warning, and the sound wave seemed to be stronger than before.

"Hahaha!

Xu Yang, do you think you can avoid death by being a coward?

I didn't expect that this fire barrier would be a perfect match for my poison skills. I refined it into a more powerful fire poison element. Now my combat power has been improved again. I want to see how you bunch of trash can compete with me!"

The sound of the fire field suddenly came out, and Xu Yang knew that the time for a decisive battle with Tuoba Hong had come.

“You all stay here, I will go into the Fire Region alone.

Ah Xue, no matter what happens, keep them safe. If the illusion cannot bear the impact, just let it break. Don't hurt yourself. I have a way to deal with them."

Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with relief.

If it were before, even if Xu Yang recovered to his peak, no one would agree to let him go against Ghost Shadow Shura and Tuoba Hong, two top warriors on the verge of the Tribulation Realm.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Although Xu Yang's realm cannot be reflected, everyone understands that the aura fluctuations on his body are no weaker than anyone they have ever seen in their lives. Since Xu Yang has this confidence, everyone chooses to believe him unconditionally.

"Go ahead, we're waiting for your safe return."

whoosh!

Xu Yang turned into a ray of faint light and shot up into the sky. In just a moment, he rushed into the illusion of endless fire.

The empress interacted with her mind and used her powerful mental force to activate the technique again, changing the illusion in the endless fire domain. At the same time, she released a mental resonance perspective for everyone around her, allowing everyone to clearly see the confrontation in the illusion of fire.

You know, watching the games between top figures in the Tribulation Realm like Xu Yang can be quite inspiring to cultivators at lower levels. It is very likely that a cultivator at the Great Perfection Realm will suddenly have an epiphany after watching the game.

After all, only actual combat is the most important way to improve your cultivation and strength.

In the sea of ​​fire, with the arrival of Xu Yang, an ice-blue halo gradually spread in the air.

Once again confronting Tuoba Hong, Xu Yang's calm and graceful demeanor was even more powerful than before.
