Nevertheless, this situation was fortunate for the Firebird. With the eight chains restricting the Heavenly Thunder Fire, the Firebird was barely able to contend with it.

As soon as Yang Kai appeared on the battlefield, the Heavenly Thunder Fire sensed him, and a bright light flashed from its single massive eye towards him.

“Another ant, but this one seems to be a tasty snack for me! Feel honoured to become my strength!”

The voice of the Heavenly Thunder Fire caused the entire chamber to shake.

A strong suction force descended on Yang Kai as the light beam seemed to have an irresistible attractive force which was trying to swallow Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar.

Yang Kai coldly snorted and released a burst of his Spiritual Energy.

A crackling sound rang out in the next instant and the attractive force shattered, freeing Yang Kai.

“A mere ant dares resist my will? Unforgivable!” The Heavenly Thunder Fire seemed to be irritated and it quickly swung one of its giant tentacles towards Yang Kai.

The Firebird let out a fierce cry as it shot a column of fire from its mouth, blocking the tentacle from reaching Yang Kai.

Yang Kai stood in place indifferently, focusing all his attention on observing the situation around him.

He did not currently have a method to successfully deal with this strange Heavenly Thunder Fire.

Right now, his Soul Avatar was here, but his physical body was still up above inside the volcanic crater, so he could not use his Saint Qi to help the Firebird against this enemy, only his Spiritual Energy.

Yang Kai did not want to act recklessly and rile up his opponent before coming up with a plan.

Tentacles swept in all directions as the Heavenly Thunder Fire seemed to have sensed the importance of Yang Kai to the Firebird, so he shamelessly began targeting Yang Kai almost exclusively.

The Firebird was instantly put on the defensive.

The sudden arrival of Yang Kai seemed to make the Firebird’s situation worse.

The two strange creatures thus began a fierce struggle over Yang Kai.

As time passed, the aura of the Firebird gradually weakened while the Heavenly Thunder Fire was as fierce as ever, not showing any signs of fatigue.

“Here, I am the master! You ants must surrender to me!” The Heavenly Thunder Fire’s voice roared once more.

At that moment, Yang Kai’s eyes flashed brightly, and he couldn’t help laughing out loud, “So that’s how it is!”

Sensing Yang Kai’s joy, the Firebird’s waning momentum surged upwards again, and a brilliant radiance burst from its body as it once more entangled the Heavenly Thunder Fire, trying to swallow its energy.

“I’ve seen through your trick already. Today, you will fall!” Yang Kai shouted as he swiftly stretched out his hand and slashed it through the air.

A strange wave of power lashed out.

Instantly, the space around the Heavenly Thunder Fire became somewhat distorted.

Space Force!

Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar could not use the Saint Qi which was contained in his physical body, but that did not hinder him from using his comprehension of the Dao of Space.

Using his Space Force, Yang Kai cut off the Heavenly Thunder Fire from a certain nearby position.

The Heavenly Thunder Fire was instantly taken aback, and a look of panic flashed across its massive eye. At that moment, it gave up attacking the Firebird entirely and instead launched a flurried attack towards Yang Kai.

“So, my thoughts have proven to be true!” Yang Kai laughed, concluding from the Heavenly Thunder Fire’s reaction that his guess was correct.

Without any hesitation, Yang Kai released a burst of Space Force from his Soul Avatar and rapidly spread it outwards to form a type of cage around the surrounding region.

After just ten breaths, the cage had taken shape!

This invisible cage isolated the Heavenly Thunder Fire from the outside world, enclosing it here with the Firebird.

This cage had no effect on the Firebird, but it was a fatal threat to the Heavenly Thunder Fire.

Now, the Heavenly Thunder Fire was no longer able to draw strength from its surrounding environment to restore itself!

Yang Kai had observed for a while and found that the Heavenly Thunder Fire had some kind of invisible connection with the surrounding magma and the scorching heat of the ground; because of that, no matter how much of its essence was swallowed by the Firebird, it was quickly able to restore itself.

On the other hand, the Firebird obviously had no such advantage!

This wasn’t too much of a surprise, however. The Heavenly Thunder Fire had been sealed in this place for countless millennia, so it had found a way to use this environment to its benefit.

Yang Kai’s Space Force cage, however, cut off this advantage in an instant.

“We’ll attack it together, it can’t restore itself anymore,” Yang Kai shouted to the Firebird before using his Soul Avatar to charge forward.

“Pitiful ants, you cannot defeat me! Even without the help of this place’s power, you are still not my opponents!” The Heavenly Thunder Fire roared disdainfully.

“Then we’ll just have to see who is stronger!” Yang Kai smiled fiercely as he shouted, “Demon Eye of Annihilation!”

From his left eye, a golden light suddenly flashed, and a majestic golden pupil revealed itself.

From this golden pupil, a beam of light containing a mysterious power shot forward and pierced the massive one-eyed Heavenly Thunder Fire.

The Heavenly Thunder Fire’s huge body froze up for an instant before it released a resounding howl, as if it had been wounded.

The Demon Eye of Annihilation was able to purify Souls.

When the Heavenly Thunder Fire obtained sentience, it formed its own Soul, so it was vulnerable to the Demon Eye of Annihilation
