Seeing the excited Northern Ice Beasts, the Snow Empress imdiately cald them down before beginning to study the changes brought by the sub fla. She extended her hand, channeling her power, and pointed at a distant mountain peak. Instantly, a fierce blizzard engulfed it, the howling winds echoing as the temperature plumted.
" 230°C?" She was stunned. Previously, after Huo Yuhao had purified her Ice God bloodline, she had already been capable of reaching 220°C in combat. For context, at her peak, her extre ice temperature had only ever reached 205°C.
The power of Ultimate Ice depended heavily on temperature the lower it was, the stronger its effect. Previously, the purification of her Ice God bloodline had given her the first major breakthrough in power. But now, after obtaining the sub fla, her extre ice temperature had reached 230°C, a significant leap in strength. Though the bloodline purification had seemingly granted a larger temperature reduction, the reality was different.
For a wielder of Ultimate Ice, lowering their temperature was an incredibly difficult task requiring both talent and hard work. Like a Soul Master's cultivation, the further they advanced, the harder each step beca but the rewards grew exponentially.
A smile naturally ford on her lips. If her temperature kept dropping like this, she would eventually reach absolute zero. Perhaps one day, she truly could reach the realm of absolute zero.
Following Yuhao was indeed the right path his guidance would always lead to strength.
"Moreover, I can feel my control over the elents of ice and water has increased. If I put it in Yuhao's words, this ans I have touched upon a fraction of the Ice Authority and Water Authority?"
Thinking this, she focused on a snow lotus atop another mountain. The sub fla within her stirred.
In the next mont, the snow lotus withered, an icy blue glow appearing in the air.
She could sense that the snow lotus had completely lost its ice and water attributes. Then, with a re thought, she guided the icy blue glow back into the flower, instantly restoring its ice and water properties.
"It's far weaker than Yuhao's main fla, but that's expected. If the sub fla were stronger than the primary fla, that would be abnormal." The Snow Empress sighed.
anwhile, the other ice type soul spirits were conducting similar experints, testing the effects of their sub flas.
Huo Yuhao understood their excitent after all, sub flas were a completely new phenonon for them. Their enthusiasm was natural.
Soon, after extensive study, Huo Yuhao and his soul spirits discovered another crucial ability of the sub flas: they allowed these soul spirits to move a considerable distance away from Huo Yuhao himself. The only requirent was a constant expenditure of faith energy to maintain the connection.
After so ti, the initial excitent of the soul spirits subsided. They gathered around Huo Yuhao, standing close behind him as if he were their leader.
After all, Huo Yuhao was now the "Ice God." Even though the Snow Empress was the ruler of the Northern Ice Region, she was not the true owner of this land. If the Northern Ice Region were to have a true master, it would undoubtedly be the Ice God, whom all the Northern Ice Beasts worshipped.
At that mont, every single Northern Ice Beast lifted its head to gaze upon Huo Yuhao, their eyes filled with reverence. He was the Ice God the divine being they all believed in. In truth, all the Northern Ice Beasts were rely the children of the Ice God.
Huo Yuhao looked at the assembled beasts and declared, "My people, I must leave the Northern Ice Region!"
The mont he spoke, chaos erupted among the Ice Beasts. They did not want the Ice God to leave.
According to legend, the Ice God was the source of all their power. Furthermore, his recent actions had elevated the overall strength of the Northern Ice Beasts to an entirely new level.
But his decree was absolute they could not defy him. A wave of sorrow swept through the crowd, and the light in their eyes dimd slightly.
Noticing this, Huo Yuhao continued, "My people, this is only a temporary departure I will return. Furthermore, I am leaving you in the care of your current ruler, Tai Tan Snow Devil King. While I am gone, he will continue to govern the Northern Ice Region."
The unity of the Northern Ice Beasts stemd, in part, from having a leader.
No matter what, Huo Yuhao needed to leave behind a trusted soul spirit to manage things. This would help solidify their faith and even extend the Ice God's influence to the surrounding soul beast territories.
Among the Three Kings of the North, Tai Tan Snow Devil King was the least useful by Huo Yuhao's side. It was better to leave him here as a guardian.
After all, with the sub fla, Tai Tan Snow Devil King could remain far from Huo Yuhao without issue. The faith energy required to sustain this connection was negligible compared to the daily faith energy Huo Yuhao received from the Northern Ice Beasts.

Inside a pavilion, Ji Juechen leaned against a pillar, gripping his sword tightly.
His clothes were tattered, covered in dried blood, his hair unkempt. The scent of blood clung to him, making him resemble a warrior fresh off the battlefield.
Lifting his gaze, he stared at Ye Guyi across from him. "Ye Guyi, I heard from Juzi that you killed another Evil Soul Master today. You grow stronger by purifying evil I wonder how strong you've beco now. How about we fight?"
Ye Guyi sat in her chair and gave Ji Juechen an exasperated look. "Ji Juechen, I just got back from outside. I'm exhausted and want to rest."
When she had first t him, she had found his challenge driven nature amusing. She had even appreciated it, seeing him as a straightforward person who used combat as a ans to build camaraderie.
But as ti went on, and his dueling requests beca incessant, she could no longer tolerate it.
Fighting was indeed a great way to sharpen one's skills and gain experience, but too much of anything was excessive. Ji Juechen was simply too obsessed with combat.
So she had started going on more missions, sotis to complete tasks for the Spirit Pagoda, sotis just to track down lone Evil Soul Masters of appropriate strength all just to avoid his challenges.
"It's fine. I can wait here until you're rested. Then we can head to the arena and fight," Ji Juechen said, his gaze burning with excitent an excitent that was purely for battle, devoid of any other intent.
Ye Guyi fell silent. It seed like he completely ignored the aning behind her words.
She began weighing her options: should she outright reject him and follow up with sothing like, If you're really that capable, you should be challenging Yuhao instead of constantly pestering ?
Wait, no… Wouldn't that be rubbing salt in his wounds?
Would saying that hurt him too much?
For a mont, Ye Guyi found herself caught in an awkward dilemma.
On one hand, she wanted to refuse him.
On the other hand, she didn't want to say sothing that might deeply wound him.
After all, she hadn't known Ji Juechen for very long and didn't fully understand his personality. She wasn't sure how much he cared about being defeated by Yuhao.
Although she had no romantic interest in Ji Juechen, they were both mbers of the Spirit Pagoda and students at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. They would see each other often, so there was no reason to be too blunt.
It seed she had no choice but to co up with a reasonable excuse to dodge this challenge.
