Chapter 318 - 157: Spiritual Fire · Void! Luo Ze’s Determination!_2
```
"Unknown flames..."
"Merely slightly stronger than the Black Crow Flame..."
Beneath the Stone Pavilion.
After watching Fu Qiu and Zhong Mudao gradually disappear from his line of sight,
Luo Changfeng waved his hand, summoning the unnamed flames from within his body.
The color of the Spiritual Fire was still pitch black, still as deep as ever.
Even, the blackness of this Spiritual Fire,
was at least dozens of times more intense and rich than that of Black Crow Flame.
The blackness of this Spiritual Fire was an extremely pure black.
While the blackness of Black Crow Flame…
was not so pure.
"Hmm?"
Just as Luo Changfeng was about to retract the flames back into his body,
that deep, pitch-black Spiritual Fire,
suddenly pulsed.
From that mass of Spiritual Fire, Luo Changfeng seemed to detect a hint of yearning.
"Do you want?"
Luo Changfeng looked at the flame before him,
and tentatively whispered a question to it.
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle...]
The deep, pitch-black flames pulsed slightly again.
"Do you truly want?"
"Can you understand my words?"
"But, what exactly do you want?"
Looking at the unknown Spiritual Fire before him, Luo Changfeng asked again.
This time, however, the fire gave no response.
It just floated calmly before Luo Changfeng.
It seemed as if it was stunned, or perhaps it didn’t know how to answer Luo Changfeng’s question.
...
Beneath the Stone Pavilion. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
After a period of mutual silence between Luo Changfeng and the mass of Spiritual Fire before him,
the unknown black Spiritual Fire suddenly lunged at Luo Changfeng.
Luo Changfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t attempt to dodge.
A moment later, the Spiritual Fire entered his body.
At first, there seemed to be no significant change.
But as time passed…
another mass of fire within him began to violently resist.
"This is..."
Luo Changfeng narrowed his eyes,
silently experiencing the struggle between the two masses of fire within him.
After roughly the time it takes to drink a few cups of tea,
the resistance of the Black Crow Flame gradually weakened.
And piece by piece, it was consumed by the unknown black fire.
With every bit of Black Crow Flame it consumed, the aura emitted by the unknown black fire grew stronger.
...
Once the Black Crow Flame was completely devoured by the unknown black fire,
the black flames emerged silently from within Luo Changfeng’s body.
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle...]
The black fire danced merrily.
Even though it could not speak,
Luo Changfeng always seemed to understand its thoughts.
"You mean, you still want?"
"The more you consume, the stronger you become?"
Luo Changfeng whispered.
The rhythm of the black flames increased noticeably.
"It’s just that Spiritual Fire and Beast Fire aren’t cabbages; even if you want more, I don’t have any on me at the moment..."
As soon as Luo Changfeng said this,
the rhythm of the black flames’ dancing slowed significantly.
The height of the flames burning also decreased quite a bit.
It seemed that upon realizing it had no other flames to consume, the black fire wilted.
As if, it was not pleased.
Almost like it was throwing a tantrum?
"How about I buy you a few more Black Crow Flames to consume in a while?"
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle...]
"By the way, besides flames, can you consume other things too?"
[Sizzle sizzle...]
"Really? You can?"
Luo Changfeng thought for a moment, then retracted the unknown black fire back into his body.
He quietly said to the black fire within him,
"See that?"
"Try, see if you can consume that energy..."
...
The process of absorbing the mysterious energy left behind by the Qi-Blood Elixir seemed much more complicated than devouring the Black Crow Flame.
On the surface, that mysterious force simply lurked deep within the body, motionless.
One might think the mysterious energy was insignificant.
But once that mysterious power felt threatened,
it would start a rampant resistance.
It might even... drag its host down with it to destruction.
So, after the black fire had consumed about one percent of that mysterious energy,
Luo Changfeng stopped it.
Moreover, he summoned it out of his body.
"Doesn’t taste good?"
Luo Changfeng looked at the black fire, which now seemed to contain shades of dark red and appeared somewhat withered.
He couldn’t help but inquire softly.
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle...]
The black fire pulsed quickly twice.
"I’ll make it up to you after a while..." Luo Changfeng whispered.
As he spoke, the rhythm of the black fire’s dance quickened significantly.
"Right."
"How about I give you a name?"
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle...]
"What should it be?"
"How about Void?"
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing these two words, the fire suddenly stopped dancing.
But just for a moment.
Then Void began to dance even more happily.
"You like it?"
"Alright then, if so, Void shall be your name..."
Luo Changfeng waved his hand,
and after taking Void back into his body,
he stood up and stretched his back a little.
Long periods of sitting were not good for an old man.
...
After stretching his limbs,
Luo Changfeng silently made his way toward a certain room.
