Chapter 458: The Powerful Effects of Divine Flame
Destruction pondered for a moment, acknowledging that Life's reasoning made sense, yet the situation still seemed highly perplexing. The timing was just too coincidental right after handling Tang San's punishment and the matter of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, this mysterious event had suddenly occurred. It was hard not to suspect a connection between the two.
However, given Tang San's current strength, he shouldn't be capable of causing such a massive disturbance. While Tang San did hold a Main God level Water Authority, the gap between that and a God King level Authority was immense.
Destruction nodded. "You make a valid point, Life. For now, let's all remain vigilant and keep a close watch on both the lower realm and the Divine Realm. If this new deity has truly emerged, they will leave traces sooner or later. That will be our best chance to track them down."
The other three God Kings nodded in agreement.
As for Tang San, though he outwardly agreed, his thoughts were entirely different. He had only one goal find this so called God King with Water Authority and kill them. The other God Kings might want to handle this new figure diplomatically, but if Tang San didn't eliminate them, he would always remain inferior in Water Authority. And that was something he absolutely could not allow.
Undead Half Plane
Huo Yuhao silently observed the Divine Ice Flame burning within him. After some careful study, he began to extract crucial information from it.
This knowledge didn't originate from Electrolux, but rather from the Water Dragon King's soul a missing piece of the puzzle that had only revealed itself once the Divine Flame had been ignited.
Now, he finally understood what powers he had gained.
To put it simply, igniting Divine Flame granted him control over Ice and Water attributes as well as an extended lifespan.
The lifespan extension was straightforward: now that he had ignited Divine Flame, if this spiritual form merged back with his main body, his lifespan would dramatically increase. Even though this was only the initial stage of igniting Divine Flame, he had already gained a minimum of five hundred years of life.
As for his control over Ice and Water, the description sounded impressive, but the reality was even more shocking. Thanks to the Divine Flame, he had gained a faint connection to both the Water and Ice Authorities, granting him the ability to bestow or strip away Ice and Water attributes from both human soul masters and soul beasts.
This was an ability that even many gods did not possess.
Most gods had some control over their elements, but only those with a high level of Authority could directly alter another being's natural attributes.
Huo Yuhao could do this because his connection to the Authorities came from the Water Dragon King a former God King. Even though his own strength had not yet reached God King level, his mastery over Ice and Water had already taken a massive leap forward.
Right now, if a Limit Douluo stood before him, and their Martial Soul relied on Ice or Water, he could strip them of those attributes entirely using Divine Flame.
For example, if a Limit Douluo had only Ice affinity, Huo Yuhao could erase that affinity, turning their Martial Soul into a completely non elemental one. This would cripple their abilities, reducing their strength to less than 10% of its original state.
Certain abilities, like Ice Spears or Ice Blades, might not even be usable anymore.
Although Huo Yuhao's cultivation was still far below a Limit Douluo's, the Divine Flame granted him an Authority based suppression a form of dimensional superiority.
In modern terms, this was the power of an "administrator" overriding a user's permissions.
Huo Yuhao's mind raced.
"Hah, in most situations, admin abusers are despised… but when I'm the one with authority, this actually feels pretty great. Damn, am I becoming a hypocrite? Eh, at least I'm still far from being as shameless as Tang San."
After all, Tang San's hypocrisy was on an entirely different level. The reason people despised him wasn't just because he was biased it was because his double standards were absolutely ridiculous.
Even though he had now ignited Divine Flame, Huo Yuhao remained grounded. After all, the Divine Realm still existed, and he didn't want to draw unnecessary attention.
But still…
Now that he had successfully taken his first step toward godhood, his future had never looked brighter.
"Yuhao, how does it feel to ignite Divine Flame? Do you want to test its effects right now?" Electrolux asked curiously.
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, a confident smile forming on his lips. "It feels incredible. I've never felt so clear headed and invigorated in my life. And yes, let's begin testing its effects immediately."
Since he shared his vision between his spiritual projection and his main body, he quickly realized that Xiao Hongchen had already defeated a member of the Holy Spirit Sect, and a second opponent was about to enter the match.
With his Divine Flame stabilized, his spiritual form was now completely steady, and thanks to Di Qiu'er's help, his main body had almost fully recovered. His pale complexion had even returned to normal.
At this moment, he didn't need to rejoin the battle instead, he could stay hidden in the Half Plane and focus on testing the Ice God's Divine Flame.
Although he already understood the theoretical effects, he still needed to validate them through actual experimentation.
"Oh?" Ice Empress's eyes lit up as she stepped forward eagerly. "Yuhao, why don't you let me help with the testing?"
She was genuinely interested in this. After all, this was Divine Flame from the Ice God the supreme deity of the Extreme North. To every soul beast in the region, the Ice God was the highest existence, and now, that Ice God had seemingly returned in the form of Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ice Empress, then nodded. "Alright. But Ice Empress, prepare yourself I'm going to attempt stripping away your Ice attribute."
He reassured her, "Don't worry, though. After the experiment, I'll restore your attribute and help purify your Ice God bloodline. This won't harm you."
Hearing this, Ice Empress was stunned.
"Stripping away my Ice attribute? The only being in our legends who could do that was the Ice God…" she murmured in disbelief.
She stared at Huo Yuhao in shock.
"…Yuhao, does this mean you're already very close to fully condensing the Ice God's Divine Throne?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Not yet. Right now, I've only ignited Divine Flame I still have a long way to go before forming the complete Ice God's Divine Throne. But… let's begin."
"Alright." Ice Empress nodded, her long green hair swaying as she puffed out her chest slightly, standing ready for the test.
She trusted Huo Yuhao completely and believed every word he said.
Thus, she didn't put up the slightest resistance.
Huo Yuhao focused on his Divine Flame.
In that moment, his irises turned a deep ice blue, and a brilliant pair of translucent blue wings spread out behind him.
With a single flap of his wings, an immense pressure radiated from his body.
Reaching out his hand, he spoke in a calm yet authoritative voice
"Attribute Stripping!"
A streak of icy blue light shot forth, enveloping Ice Empress.
In the very next instant, her vibrant energy vanished, and she suddenly felt weak and exhausted, as if all the essence of ice had been ripped away from her body.
For the first time in her life…
She could no longer feel the cold.
