The will of the fading fire was actually a remnant of the Gundo Mother Tree's former will.
It maintained absolute independence. Although it did not possess thoughts of its own, it had a special self-awareness.
Its original master had been powerful, perhaps even the strongest being in this world.
After all, the Gundo Mother Tree had once split off the seven great Children of Guyinduo, split off Guyinduo Fate, and ultimately still controlled the Gundo Mother Tree.
As the Gundo Mother Tree's final trump card, the faded flame held an absolutely exalted position.
Before a power as mighty as the fading fire, someone like Xu Le...

Perhaps an existence at Xu Le's level did not even qualify as a little punk.
Now it had actually been coerced by a little punk it looked down on, even if it was eating that punk's Soul Devouring Tree and drinking his Spirit Energy.
But the fading fire still refused to accept it. Given its status, fusing with Xu Le was simply beneath it.
The problem now, however, was that if it did not fuse, the darkness before it would swallow it.
That was Night Fiend's dark power. As its suppressor, the fading fire had been entangled with Night Fiend's darkness for years.

The flame in Xu Le's hand suddenly surged, abandoning its former aloofness. It had already been relying on the Soul Devouring Tree, entangled with the undying flame.
Now that it had unleashed all its
