Chapter 401: Resolving the Self Destruction Crisis
Due to the concealment of the Plane's Will, no one saw Huo Yuhao emerge from the spatial rift. He was clad in a black robe and wore a mask, though six soul rings rose around his feet.
The moment Huo Yuhao arrived in the Extreme North, he saw the Titan Snow Demon King chasing after an unfamiliar elderly man. He was slightly surprised, but since he had already activated Spiritual Detection Sharing before entering the region, he quickly noticed that the Titan Snow Demon King was severely injured and on the verge of self destruction he was clearly going all out.
"Ah Tai! Rain and I are here don't self destruct!"
From within Huo Yuhao's consciousness, Snow Empress' anxious voice echoed.
Years ago, the Titan Snow Demon King had once confessed his feelings for her, which had resulted in her giving him a brutal beating. He had spent a thousand years recovering from that defeat. For soul beasts, such an event wasn't particularly unusual.
However, since she had entrusted him with ruling the Extreme North in her place, she now saw him as her successor. There was no way she could watch her chosen successor self destruct.
Hearing that familiar voice, the Titan Snow Demon King instinctively slowed down his pursuit of Tang Yun. He turned his head and spotted Huo Yuhao.
He immediately sent back a frantic mental message:
"Snow Empress, why did you return?! Take Huo Yuhao and leave immediately! I'm critically injured, and my essence has been damaged I can't stop my self destruction. If you two stay here, you'll be caught in the blast and die!"
He already knew that Snow Empress had become a soul spirit, and after Huo Yuhao's explanation last time, he understood that this was a cooperation between them.
To him, soul spirits were essentially a more advanced form of soul rings, dependent on the strength of the soul master.
With Huo Yuhao's current power, there was no way he could fully unleash the foundation of Snow Empress' strength. Even if Snow Empress took temporary control of his body, she still wouldn't be able to stop the self destruction.
If he exploded, would Huo Yuhao even have a chance to survive?
And what about Snow Empress? Wouldn't her existence as a soul spirit be completely erased if Huo Yuhao died?
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned gray, and his body radiated an aura that fused deathly stillness and divine holiness.
He took a step forward, bringing Snow Empress with him, and instantly appeared on the Titan Snow Demon King's back.
Given his towering height of over a hundred meters, the Titan Snow Demon King was colossal, while Huo Yuhao, standing atop him, looked insignificantly small.
"Huo Yuhao!" The Titan Snow Demon King's mental voice was urgent. "I know what you're trying to do, but my self destruction is unstoppable! Get Snow Empress and leave now don't throw your life away!"
Yet the "Huo Yuhao" before him did not respond.
Instead, he extended his hand, releasing a beam of white light onto the Titan Snow Demon King.
The next moment
The raging soul power surging within the Titan Snow Demon King's body instantly calmed down.
Even his soul core, which had started to crack and was on the verge of collapse, stabilized.
The overwhelming aura of destruction that had been escalating was abruptly suppressed.
As one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, the Titan Snow Demon King naturally possessed a soul core. However, he had only one just like Snow Empress.
By contrast, Di Tian, the so called "Number One Ferocious Beast of Douluo Continent," possessed two soul cores.
"Impossible!" The Titan Snow Demon King's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Huo Yuhao, how did you do that?!"
Even a Rank 98 Hyper Douluo wouldn't be able to suppress an unstoppable self destruction like this!
The gray color faded from Huo Yuhao's eyes just as he was about to explain.
Suddenly
An excited, aged voice echoed from nearby.
"To think you could suppress the Titan Snow Demon King's self destruction with the strength of a mere Soul Emperor! I don't know what kind of trick you used, but one thing is certain you're an absolute genius!"
The speaker was the white robed Tang Yun.
He looked at Huo Yuhao with admiration and spoke with fervor.
"I am Tang Yun, a devoted follower of the Sea God. Why don't you join me in worshipping the Almighty Sea God?"
"As long as you are willing to submit, I guarantee your future achievements will be limitless! Even if the Sea God lets just a tiny fraction of his power slip through his fingers, it would be enough to grant you untold benefits!"
A smile appeared on Tang Yun's face as he spoke.
After all, the Sea God loved geniuses. If he could bring this young man into the faith, his own status would surely rise.
The moment these words were spoken
The Plane's Will, which had been closely monitoring Huo Yuhao, immediately focused on Tang Yun.
It acted at once isolating the Extreme North from sending any messages to the Divine Realm.
Then, it scanned Tang Yun's entire existence.
A few moments later, the voice of the Plane's Will echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"I see no divine consciousness within him, meaning we are safe for now.
Huo Yuhao, should I just kill him now? I can shatter his soul completely he would be erased from existence."
The Plane's Will was extremely on edge.
After all, it and Tang San were enemies.
The last time, Tang Hao had been able to devour it without consequence, all because Tang San had backed him up.
Even though Tang Hao had since been arrested by Destruction, the Plane's Will still had lingering trauma.
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment before responding telepathically:
"No need. Leave him to me."
This was his chance to test his strength.
Ever since mastering Thousand Refinements with Spirit, Huo Yuhao had taken the time to apply it to his Ice Extreme Battle Armor, refining it even further.
As a result, his Battle Armor had developed spirituality and now offered an even greater amplification to his soul power.
With a mere thought, he summoned his Ice Extreme Battle Armor from his soul tool storage.
A howling gust swept through the area as the battle armor split into countless luminous pieces, transforming into radiant streams of light that seamlessly attached themselves to Huo Yuhao's body.
His aura skyrocketed, instantly reaching the level of a Titled Douluo.
This effect was incredibly exaggerated.
While the armor's formation technique was inferior to those from ten thousand years in the future, its materials were exceptional.
The Ice Extreme Divine Crystal used to craft it was extraordinary.
While it wasn't as exaggerated as Living Metal, it fully deserved its title as a Divine Crystal.
Moreover, because Huo Yuhao possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute, his soul power was highly compatible with the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.
Now, with the Thousand Refinements with Spirit enhancement, the armor's spiritual resonance had reached a new level.
Meanwhile, Snow Empress, now unconcerned about the Titan Snow Demon King, had shifted her attention to Tang Yun.
After observing him for a moment, her expression changed.
"This aura… it feels exactly like the one from that Rank Nine Soul Engineer who captured me."
