Heavenly Opposers-88 Chapter 88

"Okay, you two can fight to your heart's content in my Flamescape, until then act nice, okay?" 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

Xiao said as he looked at the two flames at his side, hearing his words the two of the cooled down but then a certain questing feeling was sent towards Xiao by both the flames, feeling the question Xiao smiled as he responded to their burning query,

"Wait a bit longer, both your names should be special I can't make a mistake"

Hearing Xiao's words both of the flames calmed down but he still felt their impatience through their connection, a month ago both the flames had asked for Xiao to name them, and Xiao agreed to it but he still hasn't fixated on a name yet, names are a symbol of power, hence Xiao could not make a mistake.

Moreover, all the flames would be accompanying Xiao throughout his life, till the end of his life they would be with him, hence he wanted to give them the best name possible, after all in the future their name would definitely fill all the heavens and he wanted to make sure that in the future they wouldn't feel any embarrassment about their names.

Xiao was treating them as family, no they were family to him, quenching his curiosity about the two Xiao sat back in the flames, his eyes closed as the two flames beside him burned calmly, currently, Xiao was trying to gain touch with his bloodline, from what he had gathered he understood one thing and that was that the affinity to death was needed for his bloodline to work!.

This thought sent a chill down his spine, the reason being simple in his first life he didn't have an affinity with death but in this life, he does, and coincidentally in this same life, he awakened his bloodline that has the prerequisite of possessing the death affinity, what were the chances that this was just pure fate?.

No Xiao doesn't believe that this was pure chance, he felt like some invisible being was guiding his life and he had no complaints, why should he? he's given power like no other, this was much better than wasting his life away and if this 'being' that chose him as some motive he will deal with it then, it was pointless worrying about the things that were out of his control,

"Start"

Xiao slowly muttered, hearing it the black flame lit up as it started to greedily suck the fire Qi in the surrounding, slowly the world seemed to turn dark, as the black flame grew in height, it floated above Xiao as the fire Qi that surrounded him started to dry out, soon when it looked like the flames were about to die out it stopped.

Peace returned as the dark flame returned to its normal size, a few seconds later it floated towards Xiao, and soon black tendril flames started to rise out of the black flame as the tendrils started to move around Xiao's body, like a leech it stuck to him passing through each and every inch of his body, the scene looked extremely creepy, he looked like an evil emperor that was being consumed, it looked ominous.

But the situation was the opposite for Xiao who was in a sea of pleasure, he felt his body receive a special message, it felt as if each of his cells were being awakened, he felt relaxed, his mind basking in a beautiful bath but sadly it didn't last for long as it soon disappeared, Xiao, let out a sigh,

"Man, I wish that lasted longer"

Hearing his words the black flame by his side started to sizzle seemingly protesting, throwing a tantrum, Xiao chuckled at this display as he patted the black flame,

"I'm sorry I know that you are doing your best and thanks you helped me a lot today"

After Xiao finished speaking the black flame once again lit up and moved a bit away from Xiao, acting as if the praise was nothing but Xiao could tell through his connection that the black flame was dancing with joy, it was then that he felt the emotions of the purple flame that seemed to be pouting, as it floated a bit far away.

Finding it cute Xiao shook his head, while the purple one acted all glorious and graceful, it was the one that wanted to be spoiled the most, momentarily pushing his thoughts he called out,

"All-Seer"

Soon a panel appeared in front of Xiao,

===Status===

Name: Yun Xiao

-->Affinity:

[Fire]#$-Reached Perfect Origin

[Death]-9%

==========

Seeing his abysmal affinity to death Xiao sighed, after contracting with All-Seer Xiao was capable of seeing his own affinity level but the main reason that he's focused on it is that he could increase his affinity! no, it is more appropriate to say that the black flame could increase his affinity to death! a very powerful function.

Xiao does not doubt that if the news was leaked he would be hunted down just to get this flame, in the four heavens there did exist treasure to increase affinities but a flame that kept increasing your affinity? yeah, now that was something that would be desired by anybody, especially if it got out that it can increase death affinity.

Xiao has no idea how it works but it would seem that the black flame could absorb the fire particle converting them into pure primordial Death Qi, using this it would enhance his affinity to the death element, a truly bizarre way but Xiao wasn't complaining this was a god-given gift and he wasn't willing to waste it.

At the start Xiao was not willing to walk the path related to death but by now he has to walk it, from what All-Seer had said to him, he would need to increase his affinity to death, that is if he wanted to unlock the full potential of his bloodline, Xiao at first wasn't willing to take such a risk but after he knew about the function of the black flame he hardened his heart to walk this path.

The reason Xiao at first didn't want to walk the path of death wasn't just because of the power of the Death Shrine but also because it would have been impossible to find resources for his death Qi, everything was monopolized by the death clan but no one had any problem with it since they were the only being capable of wielding death.

But now he came into the equation, how was he to get his hands on the resources he need? all this was a huge problem but now none of it mattered, with the black flame he would be able to move forward in the path of death, after all, there are still some more functions the black flame has and he will definitely use them all.

But he would be walking on eggshells once he started it, he shouldn't ever show it outside and if he ever did, he should make sure that no evidence is left behind, it will be a tough role but if he succeeds his power would be like no other, Xiao then focused on his affinity to fire which was already far above what the All-Seer could calculate.
