Chapter 135: Self-Condensed Soul Ring, Leaving the Far North
"Don't worry about answering me, Xue Di, you can go and negotiate with the other fierce beasts in the Far North first."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand gently, and the Ice Dragon Spirit, which was originally playing and frolicking with Di Ruier, immediately obediently floated into his hand.

While stroking the cool spirit of the ice dragon, Huo Yuhao was thinking about how to configure the spirit ring of his second spirit, the Ice Dragon King.

First of all, for Huo Yuhao, although his second martial soul, the Ice Dragon King, is powerful, it is not the direction he wants to focus on, so it is naturally impossible for him to let the Ice Dragon King martial soul have too much impact on himself.

Secondly, even without spirit rings, just relying on the characteristics of the Ice Dragon King itself and the various magic and spirit skills mastered by Huo Yuhao, he can unleash the powerful force of this god-level martial spirit.

Compared to ordinary soul masters, they often use soul rings to add new means to their martial souls, and only through soul skills can the full power of their martial souls be exerted.

Therefore, if Huo Yuhao wanted to add a spirit ring to the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit, the only aspect he had to consider was how to strengthen the Ice Dragon King himself.

As the Ice Dragon King is a god-level martial spirit, even the sacrifice of the hundred thousand year old immortal grass, the Eight Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass, can only have a negligible strengthening effect on itself.

However, it is not easy to strengthen the essence of a god-level martial soul. Do you have to look for a soul ring at the level of a divine beast? This is obviously not realistic on Douluo Continent.

Therefore, since it is impossible to start directly at the qualitative level, the only direction that Huo Yuhao can focus on when choosing the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit ring is to cause qualitative change through quantitative change.

Although the absolute zero characteristic of the Ice Dragon King is very powerful, the range that the absolute zero can affect is too small, so one must be close to the Ice Dragon King.

This also makes the existence of absolute zero seem a bit useless. After all, in a battle with a strong opponent, it is difficult for both sides to come face to face.

In order to solve this problem, Huo Yuhao must ensure that the ice element contained in the soul skills used by the Ice Dragon King is pure enough.

However, it is naturally quite troublesome to control ice elements of such purity. After all, most ice elements are mixed with some impurities to a greater or lesser extent.

Absolute zero can only be born in absolutely pure ice element energy, and once the slightest impurity is mixed in, it will no longer be absolute.

This has always been a headache for Huo Yuhao. After all, although the concept is simple, it is far from easy to implement it.

Even the spirit of the ice dragon and the ice palace that was born from the mysterious ice marrow that had existed for ten thousand years, the purity of the ice element that now exists in them is only about ninety-eight percent.

It is more or less mixed with some other components, but it is still relatively pure, which even some owners of extreme ice may not be able to achieve.

Although this is very close to the 100% purity of absolute zero, the effort required to truly advance and complete this last 1% or 2% is far greater than all that has been spent before.

And even if this level of ice element energy is transformed in the Ice Palace.

In order to transform ice element energy that can be used by the Ice Dragon King to perform absolute zero-level methods, the consumption generated in the transformation process is at least ten times higher.

Although through the environment here, Huo Yuhao can quickly refine the Wanzai Xuanbing Sui, which is an ice-attributed natural treasure.

However, for the imaginary enemies that Huo Yuhao has currently imagined, these opponents at the level of Extreme Douluo, the help that the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow can provide is far less direct and powerful than that of Absolute Zero.

"Then let's try this idea first."

'Even if there are problems later, my current abilities are enough to modify the spirit ring itself.'

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao let go of the Ice Dragon Spirit in his hand.

Then he said to Xue Di and Di Rui Er: "I have some new ideas, but they may cause some turmoil in the current Far North."

"I also hope that Xue Di and Rui Er can help me stabilize the situation in the Far North during the implementation process to prevent the soul beasts from panicking and rioting."

Di Ruier smiled and said, "Leave it to me! My Eye of Destiny has been restored to use after a period of time, so there will be no problems with its safekeeping."

The Snow Queen nodded slightly, then left the Ice Palace to look for other ferocious beasts in the Far North.

This was to discuss the feasibility of the sea-swallowing plan that Huo Yuhao had proposed earlier, and also because of the possible turmoil that Huo Yuhao had just mentioned.

After signing the contract, the fate of the Far North was now closely tied to Huo Yuhao.

Although Huo Yuhao now seemed to have acted on impulse, Xue Di and the others could only do their best to clean up the mess.

The Eye of Destiny between Di Ruier’s brows opened and stared straight at Huo Yuhao in front of him. When he saw her nod to indicate that she was ready, Huo Yuhao began his own operation.

Although Huo Yuhao can also control the power of destiny, influencing himself through the power of destiny will more or less produce some fluctuations and influences. It is better to let Di Ruier assist to achieve stability.

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

At this moment, through the Ice Dragon King spirit, Huo Yuhao could extremely clearly sense the ice and snow in most of the far north, radiating from the Ice Palace.

With the help of the Ice Dragon Spirit, Huo Yuhao used his mental power to control a large amount of ice element energy and integrated it into the body of the Ice Dragon King.

The Ice Dragon King's body shape gradually changed slightly under the filling of ice elements.

The decorative patterns originally on its scales now penetrate deeper into its body.

At the same time, the lonely hundred thousand year soul ring under the Ice Dragon King also began to flicker slightly.

Then, the second soul ring gradually began to appear along with the flashing of the first soul ring.

Unlike ordinary soul rings that come in colors such as white, yellow, purple, black, and red, the Ice Dragon King's second soul ring, which was recently condensed, is a transparent ice-blue color.

As this circle of ice-blue soul ring gradually formed, a large amount of ice elements were drawn from various areas in the Far North.

It even caused the overall temperature in this far northern area to rise slightly.

This naturally caused the Far North soul beasts, who originally lived in these areas and were extremely sensitive to temperature changes, to notice something was wrong. A sense of panic began to spread among the soul beasts who did not know what was happening.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao asked Xue Di and others to make arrangements in advance.

With the four great beasts of the Far North all deployed, the soul beasts of the Far North, which had been somewhat uneasy due to the changes in the environment, were gradually calmed down.

Feeling the changes in temperature in the Far North, after a brief discussion, the Snow Emperor asked the Ice Emperor, the Titan Snow Demon King, the Ice Bear King and others to arrange the migration of the soul beasts in the Far North.

Although the soul beasts in the Far North are naturally adapted to the extremely cold climate.

However, if they choose to migrate, a slightly warmer environment would be suitable, and after the soul beasts have completed their migration, Huo Yuhao can also relax a little.

He could use those areas where no soul beasts lived as the main locations for extracting ice element energy, thereby reducing the extraction of ice elements from other areas of the Far North.

With the formation of the Ice Dragon King's second soul ring, the Ice Palace, which originally had a close relationship with the Ice Dragon King, was now almost bound to the Ice Dragon King.

It is only because the spirit of the ice dragon already exists that before it dies, the Ice Dragon King will not be bound here in order to maintain the existence of the Ice Palace.

It’s just that relatively speaking the increase obtained is not that much, but even so, it is enough for Huo Yuhao now.

Through the effect of the second soul ring, the Ice Dragon King can directly use this ice palace to draw ice elements from the far north, purify and condense them, and release means that are sufficient to reach absolute zero.

And because they now have the Far North and the Ice Palace as energy pools, the next few spirit rings that Huo Yuhao condensed for the Ice Dragon King were all designed to reduce as much as possible the loss incurred when the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit converted ordinary ice element energy into absolutely pure ice element energy.

The biggest advantage of this is that Huo Yuhao himself does not need to worry about the existence of the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit, which will instead consume a large amount of his own soul power.

Secondly, as the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit's conversion efficiency of ice element energy gradually increases, once it can reach the point where it can convert 100% of the ice element energy into 80% to 90% of absolute zero.

Although it seems to have decreased in quantity, the increase in power it brings is naturally incomparable.

As the ice-blue soul rings condensed, the concentration of the already extremely pure ice element energy in the Ice Palace continued to rise.

However, on the other hand, in the area radiated by the Ice Palace, the existence of ice elements has been reduced to only one in ten.

Even though the glaciers and snow in these areas are speeding up the output of ice element energy due to the lack of ice element energy, it is still somewhat powerless.

When the fourth soul ring condensed, Huo Yuhao stopped. At this time, including the soul ring from the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass at the beginning, the Ice Dragon King already had five soul rings.

However, most of the energy from these four soul rings did not flow into Huo Yuhao’s body to feed back his cultivation, but instead served as the basis for the element refining array. Therefore, Huo Yuhao’s cultivation did not fluctuate much.

However, Huo Yuhao did not continue, because he could already feel that although he had stopped drawing on the ice element's energy, the ice element's energy in the Far North was gradually returning to its original level.

But if he continues to withdraw, even if the ice element energy in the Far North can be stabilized again later, the loss to the future foundation of the Far North will definitely be great.

"There's no need to rush." ​​Huo Yuhao thought so and then stopped.

After condensing four soul rings on his own, the Ice Dragon King's speed and efficiency in purifying ice element energy were greatly improved.

The purity of ordinary ice element energy is only about 50%. Normally, if you want to extract one portion of ultimate ice energy, you need about one hundred portions of ordinary ice element energy.

If you want to extract absolute zero energy, you will need about a thousand portions of ordinary ice element energy.

Through observation with the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao was able to discover that when the ice element energy was converted into absolute zero energy, the loss produced did not disappear out of thin air.

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

Ultimately, in a purification process, the amount of absolute zero energy that can be controlled and condensed is far less than the ice element energy consumed at the beginning.

By solidifying the element refining array into a spirit ring, the Ice Dragon King's spirit's already powerful and overbearing control over the ice element becomes even more precise.

With the control of precise magic array, the loss in the process of ice element transformation can be said to be greatly reduced.

If Huo Yuhao now wants to condense absolute zero energy through the Ice Dragon King spirit, he only needs about five hundred portions of ordinary ice element energy.

It is foreseeable that with the increase in the number of soul rings and the strengthening of the Ice Dragon King itself, its conversion efficiency will naturally rise and become more amazing.

Although Huo Yuhao did not know how the real Ice Dragon King used the ice element when he was a god or a divine beast, perhaps for the Ice Dragon King, lossless transformation could be achieved simply through instinct.

But this is the best method Huo Yuhao can think of right now. After all, gods and mortals are on two completely different levels.

A deafening dragon roar came from the Ice Palace, echoing across most of the Far North.

After Huo Yuhao stopped drawing on the ice element, the ice energy, which had already begun to recover rapidly, recovered even faster as if it had been injected with chicken blood.

Heavy snow fell, and the wind was bitingly cold. Those areas that lacked ice element energy quickly returned to their original topography.

The turmoil and unrest caused by Huo Yuhao's massive withdrawal of ice element energy were buried under the wind and snow and disappeared without a trace.

Huo Yuhao gently picked up Di Ruier, who was now a little weak because of the support from the Eye of Destiny, and took her out of the Ice Palace and headed towards Tiandou City.

The dragon roar just now not only stimulated the accelerated generation of ice elemental energy in most of the Far North, but also conveyed the message of his departure to several ferocious beasts led by the Snow Emperor.

Anyway, we have the soul contract as a guide. Even if we can't communicate with each other telepathically, it won't be a problem to communicate through this when necessary.

After all, Huo Yuhao has already completed most of what he wanted to do in the Far North, and the implementation of the Swallowing the Sea Plan will require some time for Xue Di and others to plan. There is not much point in staying in the Far North any longer.
