Chapter 1233

Yang Kai was also secretly shocked in his heart at this moment. He discovered that there was actually an extremely fierce essence soul fire spiritual energy hidden within this refining furnace, making it impossible for him to freeze it for a while.

When the fire wave came, he didn’t dare to move an inch at all. After all his intention had been exposed. This tool spirit had no shallow intelligence. Once he left the side of the refining furnace, it would be extremely difficult to rush over again next time.

Staring at the monstrous heat wave, Yang Kai’s expression became solemn. He once again stretched out his hands, grabbed fiercely in the void, and separated his hands left and right.

A pitch-black crack twice as large as the previous spatial crack appeared, right across in front of Yang Kai.

The heat wave happened to hit in front of him at this moment, and all of it surged into the spatial crack at once, being exiled to an unknown place in the void, and didn’t harm Yang Kai in the slightest.

However, the spatial crack also seemed a bit unstable. Although Yang Kai’s understanding and comprehension of the laws of spatial power had improved greatly compared to before, after all, he had not yet reached the great achievement realm. Forcibly tearing open such a spatial crack to deal with the enemy was already extremely reluctant. Being impact ed by the pure fire spiritual energy contained in the heat wave sprayed by the tool spirit, it immediately changed constantly, as if it would collapse and disappear at any time.

Yang Kai’s complexion sank. He placed one hand on the spatial crack, Youdaoplaceholder0 to maintain its stability and delay time as much as possible. The other hand was placed on the furnace Youdaoplaceholder0 drives his own Saint Yuan and pouring it into the furnace.

In an instant, his Saint Yuan flowed away violently like a broken dam, and the pitch-black cold flames on the surface of the furnace became more and more and the black ice cubes formed became thicker and thicker.

Originally, seeing that the spatial crack was teetering, the little eyes of the spirit still showed a hint of joy. But when it saw Yang Kai going all out Youdaoplaceholder0 determined to freeze the furnace to death, its expression suddenly panicked and more heat waves were sprayed out from its mouth, as if it was going to fight Yang Kai to the death.

It seemed that it also knew that after this battle, either it would be frozen or Yang Kai would be destroyed, so it didn’t hold back at all.

The battle situation in the stone room stalemate instantly. The heat waves from the spirit’s mouth were sprayed out continuously making the space where it was located extremely hot. However, in the position where Yang Kai was, there was an unstable spatial crack intercepting in front, devouring and exiling all those heat waves. Behind him, the furnace made a slight clicking sound, and layers of thin black ice gradually spread from the outside to the inside, from top to bottom. Although the speed was not fast, it was definitely not slow either.

As time went by, that spatial crack became more and more illusory and unstable.

Finally, under the continuous intense heat waves of the Artifact Spirit, it suddenly collapsed, exposing Yang Kai’s figure behind it.

Seeing this, the Artifact Spirit’s small eyes revealed an extremely delighted expression. Without the existence of this strange crack that could devour the heat waves, it was fully confident that it could spray Yang Kai to death and melt him with one mouthful.

A cruel and violent expression emerged in its eyes. The Artifact Spirit opened its big mouth wide, and a ball of red light quickly took shape in its mouth. The astonishing fluctuations of Fire Spiritual Qi spread out in all directions, causing the entire stone chamber to shake.

Just as it was about to unleash this earth-shattering blow, a strange smile appeared on Yang Kai’s always solemn face. He casually glanced at the Artifact Spirit and then burst out laughing.

Accompanying his laughter, a clicking sound suddenly came from the huge Refining Furnace. Unexpectedly, the entire furnace was frozen in black ice, and not even a trace of Spiritual Qi could escape.

The Artifact Spirit was stunned. Then, as if struck by lightning, its huge body suddenly seemed to lose its strength and fell from the high altitude. Before it even hit the ground, the massive Fire Spiritual Qi contained in its mouth had already rebounded and exploded, making a loud bang and blowing up its entire head.

However, this did not take the life of the tool spirit. It was not a physical entity and was born with a proficiency in the laws of fire. The previous backlash simply could not cause its destruction.

Even so, its huge body rapidly shrank. After landing, it once again returned to the size that Yang Kai had initially seen it. The newly regenerated head was also much dimmer, and it stood up shakily, looking weak and feeble.

It stood there quietly, looking at Yang Kai’s side with fear and resentment in its eyes. Its two small eyeballs rolled around, and no one knew what it was thinking.

Suddenly, it spread its wings and turned into a ray of fire, charging towards the refining furnace.

It actually wanted to return to the container that gave birth to it.

How could Yang Kai let it have its way? After this round of wits and courage, it was not easy to make the tool spirit completely fall into a disadvantageous position. If he could not subdue it, all the previous efforts would be in vain.

The pitch-black demonic flames surged out from Yang Kai’s body, one after another, Youdaoplaceholder0 in front of Yang Kai. They looked unremarkable (insignificant) just black fireballs with a somewhat strange color. But under the control of Yang Kai’s spiritual thoughts, they all emitted astonishing cold air.

Looking at the incoming red light, Yang Kai flicked his fingers and hit a black fireball precisely. The black fireball immediately rushed towards the red light with a cold and biting cold.

I don’t know if it hasn’t recovered yet or is really severely injured, but the red light transformed by the Artifact Spirit didn’t avoid it and was directly hit by the Cold Flame.

With a boom, the fluctuating impact of the alternating cold and heat spread violently. The Artifact Spirit’s body was once again revealed, continuously rolling in mid-air and directly being knocked into the cave wall. The red light outside its body dimmed even more.

Shakily getting up, the Artifact Spirit, like a one-track mind, once again transformed into a red light and charged over.

Yang Kai snorted coldly and once again drove a ball of Cold Flame to meet it.

Boom boom boom…

Inside the stone room, the Artifact Spirit was suffering almost inhumane torture. Every time it was hit by the Cold Flame, its body would dim a little. After seven or eight times, it was already a bit difficult for it to maintain the integrity of its form. Its two wings had shortened a lot, and the three long feathers on its tail had also disappeared.

Its own container was frozen, and it had previously suffered a backlash from the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. the originally majestic and invincible Artifact Spirit could no longer fight with Yang Kai and had completely become a punching bag.

However, this guy was indeed quite remarkable. After being eroded by the Cold Flame so many times its body still didn’t disperse and its spirituality didn’t disappear. While this secretly shocked Yang Kai, it also made him even more determined to subdue it.

This time, if he hadn’t resorted to the last desperate measure and directly targeted the Refining Furnace, with the strength and spiritual nature this Tool Spirit had displayed, he would definitely have been unable to do anything about it. But by coincidence, its container was placed right here. If Yang Kai didn’t take action against this, that would truly be stupid.

After being easily sent flying again, the Tool Spirit tenaciously stood up, and a low chirping sound came from its mouth, like a cuckoo crying blood, sounding extremely miserable.

Yang Kai narrowed his eyes. his expression showing neither joy nor sorrow. He just looked at it indifferently and felt that it was almost time. Then he opened his mouth and said, “Since you have intelligence, how about we discuss it? I don’t necessarily have to exterminate you. I can even spare your life, but you must submit to me!

The Tool Spirit let out a chirp, and its two small eyes stared at Yang Kai, looking quite angry.

Yang Kai chuckled softly: “You’d better think it through clearly. Anyway, I don’t have to subdue you. I can also eliminate you here, erase your existence, and make you disappear from this world forever. Well, it’s not easy for you to be born. The hardships and the long time spent I’m afraid only you know. How about you obediently agree to my conditions?

“Of course, there are also benefits to submitting to me. As far as I know, an artifact spirit like you should have very strong growth potential. If I take you out, I might even be able to find some things that are of great help to your growth.” Yang Kai knew very well the principle of using both hard and soft means. The routine of the big stick and the sweet date was tried and tested when dealing with races with high spiritual intelligence, not to mention dealing with an artifact spirit？

Sure enough, at the beginning, the artifact spirit was still unmoved. However, when it heard Yang Kai’s last words, its small eyes actually rolled around, tilting its small head as if it was contemplating on the pros and cons, looking rather comical.

Seeing that there was hope, Yang Kai immediately struck while the iron was hot and said in a flat voice, “You have been here for tens of thousands of years. The Earth’s Core Fire Pool is the source that gave birth to you. Presumably, this place is no longer of much use to your growth. If you don’t come with me, you will always be trapped here. Next time, maybe someone else will break in here. At that time… heh heh, others are not as easy to talk to as I am.”

After saying that, Yang Kai’s expression sank： “I have already said what I need to say. Whether it is destruction or submission, you choose for yourself. I don’t have much patience and I don’t have much time either. When I get up again, if you haven’t made a decision yet, then you don’t need to answer.”

Saying this, Yang Kai sat down cross-legged and guarded beside the smelting furnace. With such a step-by-step approach, Yang Kai believed that it should be okay. Now he was just waiting for the artifact spirit to make a decision.

The tool spirit stood at the corner of the stone chamber, staring intently at Yang Kai, and then looking at the black cold flame-sealed refining furnace behind him. Its eyes showed an extremely anthropomorphic look of being swayed by considerations of gain and loss.

The stone chamber suddenly became quiet. Yang Kai didn’t urge the tool spirit. After suffering so many hardships and being severely injured, the tool spirit didn’t dare to rush over rashly and just stood there motionless.

Half a day passed in a flash. After half a day, Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes, gave the tool spirit a cold look, and stood up.

This time, before Yang Kai could say anything, the tool spirit suddenly let out a clear chirp.

Although Yang Kai couldn’t understand its meaning, he could guess seven or eight points. He nodded and said, “I keep my word. As long as you are willing to follow me, I will definitely try my best to help you grow and evolve. By the way, I forgot to tell you that you are not the only thing with spiritual intelligence by my side. There is also a divine tree, but it is currently evolving and sleeping. You will meet it in the future. Communicate with it more, and you will know what kind of person I am.”

The tool spirit chirped again, but this chirp revealed a hint of docility.

Yang Kai grinned and nodded, saying, “Okay, if you are willing, then release your spiritual sense defense. I need to set some restrictions on you first. But don’t worry, it won’t harm you. It’s just a precautionary measure.”

The Artifact Spirit hesitated for a long time this time before reluctantly releasing its Divine Sense defense.

Yang Kai immediately burst out with the power of his Divine Sense and invaded its Divine Sense, using some small tricks.
