Chapter 459: Ice Empress's Advancement!
"This…" Ice Empress was utterly shocked. She could feel it all of her Ice attributes had been stripped away. For a soul spirit whose very essence was Extreme Ice, losing this attribute was nothing short of terrifying.
This was a feeling she had never experienced in her hundreds of thousands of years of existence.
She stretched out her snow white hand, trying to summon ice and snow, but failed completely. The element that had always been at her beck and call was now beyond her grasp.
If she couldn't even summon a small amount of ice, it meant she couldn't use any Ice based soul skills, leaving her completely defenseless a situation where she could be slaughtered at will.
Fortunately, the person who possessed this power was Huo Yuhao. If anyone else had ignited the Ice God's Divine Flame, she, Snow Empress, and every other Ice type soul spirit and soul beast would be in extreme danger.
She turned to Huo Yuhao, her gaze filled with complex emotions. "Yuhao, so… this is the power of the Ice God? With this, anyone with an Ice attribute, no matter how powerful, would be at an absolute disadvantage against you unless their Ice attribute was diluted with other elements."
Huo Yuhao smiled. "Ice Empress, actually, the same applies to anyone with a Water attribute as well. Both Ice and Water are completely suppressed by my Divine Flame."
Ice Empress was stunned, wondering if she had misheard.
In this world, Extreme Ice and Extreme Water were considered separate ultimate attributes. While it was true that ice and water shared a common source, they were still distinct from each other.
"Yuhao, I can understand why the Ice God could strip away Ice attributes, but… even in the legends of the Extreme North, there has never been a story about the Ice God being able to strip Water attributes. Why is that? Does the Ice God also possess Water Authority?"
Hearing this, Snow Empress and Titan Snow Demon King also fell into deep thought.
Huo Yuhao patiently explained, "You're not wrong. The Ice God indeed has both Ice and Water Authorities. But that's because the Ice God was actually the Water Dragon King.
"You should remember when the Water Dragon King's soul merged into my body that's what allowed me to ignite the Ice God's Divine Flame and slightly touch upon God King level Water and Ice Authority."
His words struck Ice Empress like a bolt of lightning, suddenly clearing the fog in her mind.
Her expression shifted to one of astonishment. "Yuhao… does that mean the Extreme North soul beasts all derive their power from the Water Dragon King?"
She had some knowledge of the Water Dragon King, especially from when she had accompanied Huo Yuhao to the Icefire Yin Yang Well.
Huo Yuhao nodded firmly. "Yes, that's exactly it."
He had long suspected that Extreme North soul beasts originated from the lingering bloodline aura of the Water Dragon King.
After all, according to the established lore, other soul beasts on Douluo Planet had also emerged due to the residual bloodline aura of deceased divine beasts.
However, bloodline concentration varied.
Over time, only the species of the three Great Kings of the Extreme North retained a high concentration of Ice God's bloodline, while the rest had diluted so much that it had become nearly undetectable.
Ice Empress's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Yuhao, if you've already ignited the Ice God's Divine Flame, does this mean you can inherit the Water Dragon King's divine position and become a God King?"
She didn't know exactly how powerful a God King was, but after spending time learning about divine hierarchy, she understood that God Kings were the true rulers among gods.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to inherit the Water Dragon King's divine throne and ascend as a God King."
Though he mentally complained that not all God Kings were equal.
For example, Dragon God was an absolute monster. Meanwhile, Tang San was far weaker than the original Asura God. If Tang San ever fought Dragon God, he would get utterly annihilated.
Ice Empress beamed with joy, and beside her, both Snow Empress and Titan Snow Demon King also looked overjoyed.
After all, their biggest dream was to help Huo Yuhao become a god and take them with him to eternity.
Now that Huo Yuhao had ignited Divine Flame and was likely to inherit the Water Dragon King's divine position, it meant their dream was within reach.
Their path forward had never looked so bright.
"Alright, now that we've tested my ability to strip Ice attributes, it's time to restore your Ice affinity and as I promised, I'll purify your Ice God bloodline as well."
Huo Yuhao extended his hand toward Ice Empress.
Inside his mind, the Divine Flame surged, transforming into pure, crystalline ice. Runes glowing with an icy blue light flickered within the frozen flame.
Then, he pressed his palm forward
A streak of brilliant blue light flashed across Ice Empress's forehead, and a complex ice rune shimmered for an instant before sinking into her body.
The moment it merged with her, Ice Empress felt an explosion of power.
A powerful roar echoed inside her mind.
For the first time, she felt like she had a body again she could feel the blood coursing through her veins like a raging river meeting the ocean.
She even began to hear the sound of her own blood flowing.
"Is this an illusion?"
No.
This was real.
It was the effect of her Ice God bloodline being purified and strengthened.
A terrifying cold aura erupted from Ice Empress.
Her body temperature began dropping rapidly far beyond what she had ever experienced before.
Even at her peak, Ice Empress had only been able to reach 190°C.
To qualify as Extreme Ice, a soul master or soul beast had to be capable of lowering at least below 150°C.
But now, she wasn't just reaching her peak she was surpassing it.
Her body temperature continued plummeting, until it finally stabilized at 205°C.
Ice Empress instinctively raised her hand and formed an Ice Sword.
As it materialized, it radiated an icy aura of 205°C.
"This…" Ice Empress was left speechless.
In Extreme Ice, every degree below 150°C became exponentially more difficult to achieve.
Even with pure talent, reaching 205°C was almost unthinkable.
This was the lowest recorded temperature Snow Empress had ever reached when using her abilities.
Ice Empress had never expected to reach this level herself.
She stared at Huo Yuhao, her eyes filled with awe.
This wasn't just an improvement
This was a complete evolution.
