Chapter 460: Absolute Zero Even It Has Differences in Strength!
Huo Yuhao had merely purified Ice Empress's bloodline, yet now she could match Snow Empress in Extreme Ice mastery?
That was unbelievable.
Snow Empress was a lifeform born from the purest ice elemental Heaven and Earth energy in the Extreme North's core region. Naturally, her talent for Extreme Ice was superior.
Moreover, she had cultivated for far longer than Ice Empress, so her higher mastery of Extreme Ice had always been normal.
Yet now, Ice Empress had suddenly caught up.
This made Ice Empress feel as if she were in a dream.
Snow Empress's beautiful eyes reflected Ice Empress's figure. She could clearly feel the 205°C frost radiating from her, and a trace of astonishment flickered across her face.
In Extreme Ice mastery, Absolute Zero was the ultimate goal for all beings who wielded this power.
But on Douluo Continent, no living being had ever reached Absolute Zero.
Thus, the lowest temperature Snow Empress could reach with her soul skills was the coldest recorded in Douluo's history.
"So this is the effect of purifying Ice God's bloodline? This is... unbelievable." Snow Empress couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Titan Snow Demon King also stared at Ice Empress with jealousy.
Among the three Great Kings of the Extreme North, he had the weakest mastery of Extreme Ice.
Although he possessed the Extreme Ice attribute, not all Extreme Ice was equal.
The simplest way to classify Extreme Ice was by temperature the lower the temperature, the closer to Absolute Zero, the greater the mastery.
Seeing their reactions, Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Next, I'll help you two purify your Ice God bloodlines as well. Your mastery of Extreme Ice will also improve.
"Although you may not reach Absolute Zero yet, one day, as my subordinate gods, you will definitely attain it."
In Huo Yuhao's previous life, Absolute Zero was 273.15°C.
Even in Douluo Continent, this fundamental law should still apply.
After all, the original author was a modern person he would naturally follow this scientific principle, though his application of it was a bit bizarre.
For instance, in Soul Land III, Wu Zhangkong supposedly achieved Absolute Zero during his battle with Hua Di, but the narration also said it wasn't "true" Absolute Zero, merely a lower temperature variant.
Meanwhile, in Soul Land IV, Emotion God Huo Yuhao's Absolute Zero could freeze space itself, far surpassing Wu Zhangkong's version.
And if we use Soul Land II's logic, then Extreme Ice practitioners were often described as "infinitely close to Absolute Zero", which was a ridiculous exaggeration.
Characters like Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Ice Spring, and even early stage Huo Yuhao were all described in this way.
"Infinitely close"? That sounds like it's just a tiny gap, but in reality, it's a massive difference just like how an 'infinite universe in a fingertip' is still an entire universe apart from an actual universe."
Thus, Huo Yuhao firmly believed that only a God King's Absolute Zero was the true Absolute Zero.
If Emotion God Huo Yuhao in Soul Land IV had already reached that level, then once he became a God King, his Absolute Zero would have no room for further improvement.
"Subordinate gods? Absolute Zero?" Ice Empress was dazed by Huo Yuhao's grand vision.
She didn't quite understand what a subordinate god was, but she definitely understood Absolute Zero and she desperately wanted to reach it.
"Yuhao, what do you mean by 'subordinate god'?" Snow Empress asked curiously.
Like Ice Empress, this was the first time she had heard of such a term, so she was naturally a bit cautious.
Titan Snow Demon King also felt itching curiosity, so his gaze locked onto Huo Yuhao, eagerly awaiting an explanation.
Huo Yuhao patiently explained, "A subordinate god, as the name suggests, is a god who follows me.
"In my opinion, as my soul spirits, you should ascend to godhood alongside me.
"Since you all possess Extreme Ice, once I become a god, I will instantly become a divine being of Extreme Ice.
"In the future, you will be able to act under my name, handle certain affairs, and receive worship from believers.
"You can even absorb faith power, accelerating your own growth."
Huo Yuhao understood that if he wanted to quickly condense his divine authority, gain the Ice God's divine position, and elevate it to a higher level, he needed faith power.
And to collect more faith power, he needed believers.
At present, his primary followers were the soul beasts of the Extreme North.
Now, his next step was to give back to the soul beasts, strengthening their faith in him.
After all, the more devout the believer, the greater and purer the faith power they could offer.
Once he stabilized his foundation, he could expand Ice God's influence further.
In short: Reward the Extreme North soul beasts, solidify the base, extract the most loyal believers, and then expand!
The three Great Kings of the Extreme North would play a crucial role in this.
Spreading Ice God's faith among humans would be difficult, but among soul beasts, it would be far easier.
After all, humans and soul beasts had a deep seated divide so most soul beasts would rather trust their own kind.
As for human followers, Huo Yuhao planned to save them for his second divine position.
With two martial souls, he could easily carry two divine thrones.
Of course, he wouldn't only give subordinate god positions to the three Great Kings of the Extreme North.
He had already planned to establish his own divine kingdom in the future and every divine kingdom needed many subordinate gods.
"Divine Kingdoms are a classic setting in Western fantasy. I wonder if it will work in this world? If I can actually create one, the benefits will be enormous."
Hearing this, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Titan Snow Demon King finally understood his plan.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao began purifying the Ice God bloodlines of both Snow Empress and Titan Snow Demon King.
BOOM!
A massive explosion echoed through the tournament arena.
The agonized wails of vengeful spirits reverberated through the air, sending chills down the spines of the audience members.
Many spectators instinctively clenched their fists, their gazes burning with fury as they glared at the Holy Spirit Sect's contestant.
Even though the contestant had summoned vengeful spirits of soul beasts, everyone knew what kind of people evil soul masters were.
"If they have soul beast spirits, then they must have human spirits too."
And the source of these human spirits was always a dark, twisted secret.
Each of those spirits could have been someone's family, friend, or teacher.
No matter which empire they were from, everyone viewed desecrating the souls of the dead as an utterly abhorrent act.
At this moment, public outrage surged.
Their hatred for evil soul masters burned brighter than ever.
