Fortunately, Electrolux finally took action.
With a gentle lift of his withered finger, the ice god pearl in Huo Yuhao's palm seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand, slowly rising into midair.
"Big Scorpion," Electrolux's gaze did not leave the Snow Empress as he said to the Ice Empress, "Inject your Spirit Power."
Without the slightest hesitation, the Ice Empress simply raised her right hand and pointed her index finger from afar. A streak of emerald-green Spirit Power shot out from her fingertip, accurately striking the ice god pearl.
That Spirit Power carried the coldness and purity unique to Ultimate Ice. The moment it sank into the surface of the ice god pearl, the light patterns inside the pearl suddenly flared, and a powerful force of extreme cold erupted with a bang.
The scorching heat waves permeating the air seemed to be violently pressed down by an invisible hand, instantly receding by more than half.
The crazily spreading Ultimate Fire visibly faltered under the impact of this chill, and the suffocatingly high temperature in the room dropped back to a barely tolerable level.
But that was only a temporary suppression. Electrolux had never expected to completely stabilize the situation with just the ice god pearl.
The Snow Empress's Origin power was already burning. Even with a Heaven And Earth Treasure like the ice god pearl to hold down the fort, it was impossible to completely extinguish the source of the fire.
Electrolux's right fingers twitched slightly, and a brilliant golden light suddenly blossomed from his fingertips.
Immediately after, intricate and ancient golden runes flew out from his fingertips, surging toward the Snow Empress's mass of Origin power as densely and orderly as a flock of birds leaving the forest.
Those runes connected with each other in the air via invisible lines, eventually weaving into a dense and stable net that enveloped both the Snow Empress's churning cold current and the flames.
Every flash of the golden runes drew a strand of the Snow Empress's Origin power to flow toward the ice god pearl.
The moment that power touched the surface of the ice god pearl, it merged silently into the pearl like being drawn into a whirlpool, subsequently falling into silence.
Standing below, Huo Yuhao did not even dare to breathe heavily, knowing that a Seal operation of this level brooked no disturbance whatsoever.
However, he could also gradually sense that the violent aura on the Snow Empress was weakening at a slow but steady pace.
Only then did Huo Yuhao sigh in relief, his shoulders relaxing slightly, but his gaze still did not waver.
And at this moment, the instigator of all this, the Sea God Tang San's Divine Sense, was still paying close attention to the situation in the room.
His eyes suddenly widened again, and within his deep, pool-like eyes, an undisguised shock was currently churning.
His original plan was simple: detonate the Snow Empress's already collapsing Origin power, forcing Electrolux to consume his Divine Rank spiritual Origin to suppress this disaster.
By then, Electrolux's already damaged Soul would suffer another heavy blow, and he would perish.
But the scene he saw now was completely different from what he had anticipated.
Where did that ice god pearl come from?!
He had calculated all kinds of Opportunities that Huo Yuhao might obtain along his path of growth, and this item did not exist among them.
What shocked him even more was Electrolux's current state.
As a God King in control of the God Realm Central Hub, given his attention to the Douluo Continent, Tang San had detected this remnant Soul from another world the moment Electrolux appeared.
It was just that the state of the remnant Soul was extremely unstable at the time, its Soul Origin like a candle in the wind, liable to dissipate at any moment.
Moreover, seeing that this remnant Soul could add some foundation to his chosen child of destiny in the future, he had been in no hurry to eliminate it.
But now, how did Electrolux look anything like a 'remnant Soul'?
The golden runes flying out from his fingertips were condensed and stable. The precision and strength of his control showed absolutely no sign of his Soul Origin being depleted.
In just ten years, how had he recovered to this extent?!
With Electrolux's current state, coupled with the assistance of the ice god pearl, suppressing the Snow Empress's erupting Origin power would absolutely pose no problem.
Tang San's gaze darkened, a sinister gleam flashing deep within his eyes.
The faster Electrolux recovered and the stronger he became, the more it proved that he was an uncontrollable variable.
Leaving such an existence by Huo Yuhao's side would only cause the line of fate he had meticulously laid out to deviate further and further from its track.
The more it was so, the more Electrolux courted his own death.
With a slight stir of his mind, Tang San prepared to make another secret move.
This time, he would not leave Electrolux with any chance of survival.
However, just as he was about to act, a voice came, forcing him to halt his actions.
"Tang San, what are you doing?!"
A cold voice filled with anger suddenly echoed throughout the empty temple like a clap of thunder, shaking the entire temple so much that it seemed to tremble slightly.
Tang San's slightly closed eyes instantly snapped open, and that wisp of Divine Sense reaching toward the Douluo Continent was forcibly retracted at the exact same moment.
But his posture did not change; he remained seated upright on the divine throne, his right hand suspended in front of him as Divine Power flowed slowly within his palm, clearly controlling the God Realm Central Hub.
His expression was perfectly calm, showing not the slightest panic of being caught red-handed.
Then, he slowly withdrew the Divine Power he had inputted into the God Realm Central Hub, raised his eyes, and let his gaze fall upon the figure that had suddenly appeared in the temple.
That person was draped in a large, purplish-black cloak, completely concealing his figure and face.
Standing at the entrance of the temple, a suffocatingly heavy pressure permeated around him, as if the light of the entire temple had lost several shades of color the moment he appeared.
And in the Divine Realm, there was only one person who would dress like this and dare to speak to him, a God King, in such a tone.
The one who appeared now was precisely Tang San's old rival, the God of Destruction!
Looking at him, Tang San replied with a normal expression, "Just a normal inspection of the Lower Realm."
Hearing this, the face of the God of Destruction hidden under the hood of the cloak could not be seen clearly, but his cold snort was conveyed without any concealment: "Does a normal inspection require a Divine Sense to descend to the Lower Realm?"
His tone was merciless, clearly not believing Tang San's flimsy explanation.
The corner of Tang San's lips twitched slightly, but the expression on his face still did not change much: "This is none of your concern, Destruction."
The God of Destruction did not reply immediately. He stood at the entrance of the temple, the edges of his large cloak swaying slightly with the faintly surging aura around him.
After a moment, the God of Destruction's voice carried a hint of warning as he spoke word by word: "I will be watching you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the God of Destruction's figure suddenly faded in the air, vanishing from Tang San's sight in an instant like a patch of ink-colored thick fog blown away by the wind.
The temple fell quiet once more.
Sitting on his divine throne, Tang San slowly clenched his fists inside his sleeves. He knew that the God of Destruction's words were definitely not a joke.
So close.
It was so close.
A dark trace of hatred flashed deep within Tang San's eyes. If the God of Destruction had not suddenly appeared and interrupted him, Electrolux would already be a dissipated departed Soul by now.
But now that this incident had occurred, the God of Destruction would surely pay more attention to his actions during this period. In the short term, he would not dare to easily interfere in the affairs of the Lower Realm again, no matter what.
He took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
As Electrolux's withered yet calm figure surfaced in his mind once again, Tang San's gaze turned cold.
His lips moved silently, as if speaking to himself, and also as if speaking to Electrolux.
"I will let you live a bit longer."
