At this mont, he finally realized the other party was joking with him. The Fire Phoenix looked at ng Po and said, "Either you're joking with , or you simply don't understand the aning of my existence. I cannot agree to what you're asking, because if I do, then I will cease to exist."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian found it entirely reasonable. That was the aning of one's existence.
If he gave up the very reason he was alive, then he would effectively no longer exist.
But from another perspective, the Fire Phoenix appeared incredibly powerful right now—so what was its weakness?
After pondering for a while, Ye Tian finally figured out what the opponent's weakness was: the seal.
Attacking the Fire Phoenix directly wouldn't work—but what about the seal?
As soon as that thought occurred to him, Ye Tian said to ng Po, "I think I've co up with a really good plan. With this, we might be able to defeat it."
When the Fire Phoenix heard this, it scoffed. "Hmph! You think you're sothing special, thinking you can defeat ? You must be joking!"
"You think I'm bluffing? Then watch carefully—I'll show you exactly how I plan to defeat you."
"Hmph, your ntal strength is nowhere near as powerful as ng Po's. Even she couldn't do anything to —what could you possibly do?"
"Just because ng Po couldn't handle you doesn't an I can't. Just watch!"
Ye Tian sprinted toward the seal. Seeing this, the Fire Phoenix cried out, "Are you insane? If that seal breaks, this entire space will collapse! All of us will die here!"
"No. Only you will die here. We'll escape in ti—because we don't belong to this world in the first place."
"You're despicable! I'll kill you today, no matter what!"
The Fire Phoenix was genuinely enraged. Without hesitation, it launched an attack at Ye Tian.
But Ye Tian, rather than panicking, remained calm and composed. So what if it was coming at him? So what if its ntal power was overwhelming? It's not like he was defenseless!
"Full defense—activate!"
Ye Tian imdiately launched his full defense, gathering all his ntal strength around his body. In an instant, his entire body was enveloped in a powerful force.
Though his opponent's ntal strength was indeed formidable, he could still hold his own!
As the Fire Phoenix furiously attacked, ng Po—now freed from her own predicant—called out to Ye Tian, "Ye Tian, what should I do now?"
"Attack the seal directly! As long as either one of us manages to destroy it, the Fire Phoenix won't need to be fought anymore. Once the seal breaks, it will cease to exist."
"Right! Why didn't I think of that earlier?!"
ng Po was impressed by Ye Tian's cleverness. She imdiately acted on his suggestion.
But following through was far easier said than done. The Fire Phoenix wasn't going to let them succeed without a fight. Its attacks were ferocious—the flas it spewed were devastating, seemingly capable of annihilating everything.
Yet despite the intensity of the onslaught, neither of them showed any fear. So what if the attacks were that strong? They could still handle it.
Though the power gap between them was enormous—so vast that the Fire Phoenix could crush them like ants—they used clever tactics and solid teamwork to dodge its relentless attacks again and again.
They managed to evade the attacks, but they were still so distance from the seal.
So how could they get there quickly?
It sounded simple enough: just charge forward.
But so things were easier said than done. This wasn't their world—they were inside the Fire Phoenix's space domain.
In this domain, the Fire Phoenix's power was overwhelming.
No matter what, they had to reach the seal before the Fire Phoenix did. But right now, it was doing everything it could to stop them. Ye Tian felt incredibly pressured.
"You'll all die here! I've had enough of your insolence!"
The Fire Phoenix was furious. These intruders had dared to cause chaos in its domain! If it had the chance, it would obliterate them all.
But things weren't going as smoothly as expected.
These intruders were actually very powerful. Killing them wouldn't be easy.
Especially ng Po—her bowl was a fearso artifact. Every ti the Fire Phoenix attacked, it had to dodge the water she flung from it.
That water was terrifying. If it touched its head, the pain was excruciating.
ng Po's bowl was indeed a powerful treasure. But despite everything, neither side had yet gained the upper hand.
"Fire Phoenix," Ye Tian called out, "I know your mission is to guard the seal. But have you ever thought about what that ans? If that's your only purpose, then isn't that just... pitiful? Is that really the aning of your existence?"
These words struck a chord.
The Fire Phoenix faltered, clearly shaken.
It spoke slowly, "You... you might be right. Could it be that the only reason I exist... is just to guard this empty space?"
It struggled to accept the thought that the entire purpose of its life was simply to guard a aningless void.
