Self-Condensing Soul Rings, Leaving the Far North

"No need to rush to answer me, Snow Empress, you can go and negotiate with the other Ferocious Beast in the Far North first."

Huo Yuhao gently waved his hand, and the Spirit of the Ice Dragon, which had been playing with Di Ruier, immediately obediently floated into his hand.

While stroking the Bingbing, icy Spirit of the Ice Dragon, Huo Yuhao was pondering how to configure the Soul Ring for his Second Martial Soul, the Ice Dragon King.

Firstly, for Huo Yuhao, although his Second Martial Soul, the Ice Dragon King, is powerful, it is not the direction he wants to cultivate. Therefore, he naturally cannot allow the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul to have too much of an impact on him.

Secondly, even without Soul Ring, the Ice Dragon King's inherent characteristics and Huo Yuhao's mastery of various magic and Soul Skill allow him to unleash the immense power of this Divine-level Martial Soul.

Compared to ordinary Soul Master who often use Soul Ring to add new abilities to their Martial Soul, Soul Masters can only unleash the full power of their Martial Soul through Soul Skill.

Therefore, if Huo Yuhao wanted to add Soul Ring to the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, the only aspect he needed to consider was how to strengthen the Ice Dragon King itself.

As a god-level Martial Soul, even the sacrifice of the 100,000-Year Immortal Herb, the Eight- Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, could only provide a negligible enhancement to the Ice Dragon King.

However, strengthening the essence of Divine-level Martial Soul is easier said than done. Does one have to search for Soul Ring at the level of Divine Beast? This is obviously unrealistic in the Douluo Continent.

Therefore, since it is impossible to directly address the issue from a qualitative perspective, Huo Yuhao can only focus on using quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes when choosing the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul Ring.

Although the Ice Dragon King possesses a very powerful Absolute Zero property, the range that Absolute Zero can currently affect is too small; one must be very close to the Ice Dragon King to use it.

This makes the existence of Absolute Zero seem somewhat useless, since it's rare for two people to get close to each other in a battle with a strong opponent.

To solve this problem, Huo Yuhao must ensure that the Ice Element contained in the Soul Skill used by the Ice Dragon King is pure enough.

However, controlling the purity of Ice Element is quite troublesome, since most Ice Element contain some impurities to varying degrees.

Absolute Zero can only be generated in absolutely pure Ice Element energy, and once even the slightest impurity is added, it will no longer be absolute.

This has always been a headache for Huo Yuhao, because although the idea is simple, putting it into practice is far from easy.

Even the Spirit of the Ice Dragon and the Ice Palace, which originated from the Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow, currently only have Ice Element purity of about ninety-eight percent.

It contains some other components, but it is still relatively pure, something that even some Ultimate Ice possessors may not be able to achieve.

Although this is very close to 100% purity at Absolute Zero, the effort required to truly advance to this final 1% or 2% far surpasses all that has been done before.

Even if it's just converting the Ice Element energy of this level within the Ice Palace.

To convert Ice Element energy into something that can power the Ice Dragon King's Absolute Zero level techniques, the conversion process would consume at least ten times more energy.

Although the environment here allows Huo Yuhao to quickly extract the Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with ice attributes.

However, for the hypothetical enemies that Huo Yuhao has envisioned, these opponents at the Limit Douluo level, the help that the Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow can provide is far less direct and powerful than Absolute Zero.

'Then let's try it out based on this idea.'

Even if problems arise later, my current abilities are sufficient to modify the Soul Ring itself.

After a moment's thought, Huo Yuhao released the Spirit of the Ice Dragon from his hand.

He then said to Snow Empress and Di Ruier, "I have some new ideas, but they may cause some turmoil in the Far North."

"I also hope that Snow Empress and Rui'er can help me stabilize the situation in the Far North during the implementation process, so as to avoid panic and riots among the Soul Beast."

Di Ruier smiled and said, "Leave it to me! My Eye of Destiny has been rested for a while and is ready to be used again. I guarantee there won't be any problems."

The Snow Empress nodded slightly, then left the Ice Palace to search for the other Ferocious Beast in the Far North.

The purpose was both to discuss the feasibility of Huo Yuhao's previously proposed Sea Swallowing Plan, and also because of the potential turmoil that Huo Yuhao had just mentioned.

After signing the contract, the Destiny of the Far North became inextricably linked with Huo Yuhao.

Although Huo Yuhao's actions now appear to be impulsive, Snow Empress and the others can only do their best to clean up the mess.

Di Ruier opened the Eye of Destiny between her brows, staring intently at Huo Yuhao in front of her. Only after she nodded to indicate that she was ready did Huo Yuhao begin his operation.

Although Huo Yuhao can also control the Power of Destiny, influencing himself through the Power of Destiny will more or less cause some fluctuations and effects. It would be more stable to have Di Ruier assist him.

With the appearance of the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, under Huo Yuhao's command, the Spirit of the Ice Dragon directly attached itself to the Ice Dragon King.

At this moment, through the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul Huo Yuhao could clearly perceive the icy and snowy land that radiated from the Ice Palace to most of the Far North.

With the help of the Spirit of the Ice Dragon, Huo Yuhao used his Spiritual Power to control a large amount of Ice Element energy and integrate it into the Ice Dragon King's body.

As the Ice Dragon King's form was filled with Ice Element, it gradually underwent slight changes.

The decorative patterns that originally accompanied its scales were now even more deeply embedded in its body.

At the same time, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring that had been standing alone beneath the Ice Dragon King began to shimmer slightly.

Then, the second Soul Ring gradually began to appear, following the flashing of the first Soul Ring.

Unlike ordinary Soul Ring which come in colors such as white, yellow, purple, black, and red, the Ice Dragon King's newly formed second Soul Ring is a translucent ice blue.

As this Ice Blue Soul Ring gradually formed, a large amount of Ice Element was drawn from various regions of the Far North.

This even caused the overall temperature in the Far North this region to rise slightly.

This naturally led the Soul Beast of the Far North, who originally lived in these areas and were extremely sensitive to temperature changes, to notice something was wrong.

An atmosphere of panic began to spread among the Soul Beast who were unaware of what was happening.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao had arranged for Snow Empress and the others to make the arrangements in advance.

With the full deployment of the Four Great Fierce Beasts of the Far North, the Soul Beast of the Far North, who were initially somewhat uneasy due to the changes in the environment, were gradually calmed down.

Sensing the temperature changes in the Far North, after a brief discussion, the Snow Empress instructed the Ice Empress, Titan Snow Demon King, and Ice Bear King to arrange the migration of the Soul Beast in the Far North.

Although the Soul Beast of the Far North are naturally adapted to the extremely cold climate.

However, if they were to choose to migrate, a slightly warmer environment would be suitable, and Huo Yuhao could also loosen up a bit after the Soul Beast had finished migrating.

He can use areas where no Soul Beast live as the main sites for extracting Ice Element energy, thereby reducing the extraction of Ice Element from other areas in the Far North.

With the formation of the Ice Dragon King's Second Soul Ring, the Ice Palace, which already had a close relationship with the Ice Dragon King, is now almost completely bound to him.

Because the Spirit of the Ice Dragon already exists, the Ice Dragon King will not be bound here to maintain the existence of the Ice Palace until the spirit of the ice dragon perishes.

The increase he gained was not that much, but even so, it was enough for Huo Yuhao at the moment.

Through the effect of the Second Soul Ring, the Ice Dragon King can directly use this Ice Palace to extract, purify, and condense Ice Element from the Far North, releasing a power capable of reaching Absolute Zero.

Now that the Far North and the Ice Palace are available as energy pools, Huo Yuhao will focus on minimizing the energy loss caused by the Ice Dragon King Ice Dragon King Martial Soul converting ordinary Ice Element energy into absolutely pure Ice Element energy when he condenses several Soul Rings for the Ice Dragon King.

The biggest advantage of this is that Huo Yuhao doesn't have to worry about the existence of the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, but instead will consume a lot of his own Soul Power.

Secondly, as the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul's conversion efficiency of Ice Element energy gradually increases, once it can convert 100% of the Ice Element energy into 80-90% of Absolute Zero,

Although it may seem like the quantity has decreased, the resulting increase in power is naturally incomparable.

As one Ice Blue Soul Ring after another condensed, the concentration of the already exceptionally pure Ice Element energy within the Ice Palace continued to rise.

However, in contrast, within the area radiated by the Ice Palace, the presence of Ice Element has dwindled to less than one in ten.

Even though the glaciers and snow in these areas are accelerating the production of Ice Element energy due to the lack of Ice Element energy, they are still somewhat unable to sustain it.

When Huo Yuhao condensed his fourth Soul Ring, he stopped. At this point, including the Soul Ring from the initial Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Ice Dragon King had five Soul Rings.

However, most of the energy from these four Soul Rings did not flow into Huo Yuhao's body to nourish his cultivation. Instead, it served as the foundation for the elemental refining array, so Huo Yuhao's cultivation did not fluctuate much.

However, Huo Yuhao did not continue, because he could feel that although he had stopped drawing Ice Element energy, the Ice Element energy in the Far North was gradually returning to its original level.

However, if he continues to divert the energy, even if the Ice Element energy in the Far North can stabilize again, the damage to the future foundation of the Far North will be considerable.

'There's no need to rush.' Huo Yuhao thought to himself before stopping.

After condensing four Soul Rings on his own, the Ice Dragon King greatly improved the speed and efficiency of purifying Ice Element energy.

Ordinary Ice Element energy has a purity of only about 50%. Normally, to refine one part of Ultimate Ice energy, it would take about one hundred parts of ordinary Ice Element energy.

If you want to extract Absolute Zero energy, you need about a thousand parts of ordinary Ice Element energy.

Through his observation with the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao was able to discover that when Ice Element energy is converted into Absolute Zero energy, the resulting loss does not simply disappear into thin air.

It was only because of the splitting and recombination of the elements that they were transformed into various other new elements, which eventually dissipated into the air.

Ultimately, during the purification process, the amount of Absolute Zero energy that could be controlled and condensed was far less than the amount of Ice Element energy consumed at the beginning.

By solidifying the Element Refining Array into Soul Ring, the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul's already powerful and domineering control over the Ice Element becomes even more precise.

With precise magic arrays for control, the losses generated during the transformation of Ice Element are naturally greatly reduced.

If Huo Yuhao wants to condense Absolute Zero energy using the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, he only needs about five hundred portions of ordinary Ice Element energy.

It is foreseeable that with the increase in the number of Soul Ring and the enhancement of the Ice Dragon King himself, its conversion efficiency will naturally rise and become even more astonishing.

Although Huo Yuhao did not know how the real Ice Dragon King used Ice Element when he was Deity or Divine Beast, perhaps for the Ice Dragon King, it was just a matter of instinct that he could perform the transformation without any damage.

However, this is the best method Huo Yuhao can think of right now, since Deity and mortals are completely different levels.

A deafening dragon roar echoed from the Ice Palace, resounding throughout most of the Far North.

After Huo Yuhao stopped drawing Ice Element energy, the Ice Element energy, which was already rapidly recovering, recovered even faster, as if it had been injected with Blood One.

The snow fell heavily, and the cold wind was biting. The areas that had lost the Ice Element energy quickly returned to their original topography.

The turmoil and upheaval that occurred earlier due to Huo Yuhao's large-scale extraction of Ice Element energy were buried under the snow and disappeared without a trace.

Gently picking up Di Ruier, who was now somewhat weakened due to the assistance of the Eye of Destiny, Huo Yuhao carried her away from the Ice Palace and headed towards Heaven Dou City.

The dragon's roar just now not only stimulated the accelerated generation of Ice Element energy in most of the Far North, but it also conveyed the message of its departure to the major Ferocious Beast led by the Snow Empress.

Since there's Soul Contract as a guide, even if we can't communicate telepathically, it's not too troublesome to contact each other when needed.

After all, Huo Yuhao has already completed most of what he needed to do in the Far North, and the Sea Swallowing Plan still requires Snow Empress and the others to plan for a period of time. There is no point in staying in the Far North any longer.
