True Gods were powerful beings who had ignited Divine Fire and had mastered God Rule Power or Elemental Enlightenment.
Since the Divine Power in their bodies was refined by Divine Fire, the quality of the Divine Power in the bodies of true god-level powerhouses was much higher than that of virtual god-level powerhouses. In addition, God Rule Power and Elemental Enlightenment were close to the rules of nature and could not be defied.
Therefore, it was almost impossible for a virtual god-level powerhouse to challenge a True God.
Apart from a handful of top virtual god-level geniuses who had mastered God Rule Power or Elemental Enlightenment and could challenge a True God, other virtual god-level powerhouses had no chance of winning against a True God.
The reason Lin Huang dared to challenge a True God was simple.
He had Divine Fire in his body, and the quality of his Divine Power was comparable to that of a first-rank True God. He had mastered a variety of God Rule Power and Elemental Enlightenment, and was even proficient in Sword Dao true meaning.
Although his combat strength was only grade-10 Imperial-level, he was not afraid of low-rank True Gods in any aspect.
After elevating to grade-10 Imperial-level, Lin Huang started hunting for True Gods as soon as possible.
There were only two days left before the start of the Trial, and he wanted to elevate to virtual god-level in these last two days.
Fortunately, Warlord had marked true god-level monsters as well when he started searching for virtual god-level monsters. The purpose of the marking was to avoid these areas as much as possible, but he had not expected it to come in handy now.
It took him less than a second to link the low-rank True Gods in the markings into the best hunting route.
Less than ten minutes later, Lin Huang found his first true god-level prey.
It was a Fat Snowman that looked silly and even a little cute.
In reality, however, it was a true god-level ice spirit type, and its ability was not to be underestimated.
It was about five meters tall and looked like a snowman made by children on a snowy day, except that it had a pair of legs and was magnified many times.
Fat Snowmen were proficient in Ice Elemental Enlightenment and were good at mid-range and long-range arcane attacks. Moreover, because they were born ice spirit types, they could instantly cast many Ice Elemental spells, and most of their skills had no cooldown.
However, although they were good at spell attacks, they were not only good at spell techniques.
In reality, all the Fat Snowmen possessed terrifying defensive capabilities. Their defensive abilities weren't like the Frost Giants, but their bodies could absorb a large amount of physical and energy impacts, minimizing the physical damage they received.
Aside from that, the Fat Snowman was the same as the Frost Giant — they both possessed extraordinary strength. Among monsters of the same level, their strength was considered to be above average.
If anyone naively thought that they were good at spells and not close combat, they would die a horrible death.
Looking down at the Fat Snowman from high in the sky, Lin Huang knew that the other party had long since discovered him.
The Fat Snowmen were not aggressive, but that did not mean that they were not territorial.
The Plump Snowman in front of them did not immediately attack Lin Huang and the Warlord, who had stepped into its territory. One reason was that it sensed that the two of them had not reached true god-level, so they did not pose much of a threat. On the other hand, it was because he determined that the two of them were just passing by and not coming for him. This was also related to the fact that Lin Huang did not directly reveal his killing intent.
But now, the distance between them was so close that the other party had directly appeared in his line of sight. This kind of distance instantly triggered the Fat Snowman's desire to protect its territory. It also reassessed the purpose of the two of them and confirmed that they were coming for it.
After confirming the identities of Lin Huang and the Warlord intruders, the Fat Snowman's original adorable state suddenly began to change. Its eyes instantly turned a scarlet red, as if red ink had been dripped onto them. Its smiling lips also curled up high, and its large mouth took up half the area of its face, revealing a mouthful of sharp, ice-crystal teeth.
Its body had also expanded significantly. In less than a breath's time, it had grown to more than ten meters tall.
Although he had long read about the Fat Snowman's description in the monster guide, Lin Huang was still a little surprised to see the Fat Snowman's transformation up close.
"I wonder if those people on the Internet who clamor about raising a Fat Snowman every day will still want to raise one after seeing this …" Lin Huang muttered in a low voice.
He had barely finished speaking when he realized that a faint white mist had begun to condense around him. He could clearly feel the temperature of his body plummeting.
"You're attacking without even telling me?" Lin Huang complained, but his hands did not slow down in the slightest.
The dark red hilt of a sword appeared out of thin air in his palm. In the next instant, a wide, thick silver blade rapidly formed.
The sword swept through the air, and the wind howled incessantly. The mist around him was instantly dispersed, and the temperature that had plummeted earlier began to rise rapidly.
In truth, the white mist just now was a type of divine technique that the Fat Snowman had combined with Ice Enlightenment — Cold Wave.
This divine technique appeared in the form of mist and could rapidly lower the temperature within a certain area, slowing down the enemy's movements.
If the enemy lingered in the Cold Wave for too long, they might even be directly frozen into an ice sculpture.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang's sword had been imbued with Wind Elemental Enlightenment, which had directly dispersed the Cold Wave and broken the predicament.
The Fat Snowman was clearly taken aback when it saw that its attack had been so easily nullified.
This was because it had previously sensed that the aura of these two tiny beings before it had not even reached true god-level. They did not have the ability to stand up to it at all.
It had initially thought that this move would be enough to finish off these two intruders and freeze them into ice sculptures.
It had not expected that the other party would be able to nullify its Ice Enlightenment attack with a single slash.
Its momentary daze gave Lin Huang an opportunity.
This was the first time he was facing a true god-level opponent, so Lin Huang did not dare to be careless. Now that he had found an opening in the other party, he naturally would not give up so easily.
The blade of the battle sword in his hand instantly switched to a long and narrow form. In the next second, the sword gleam streaked across the sky like a blood-red electric arc.
The Fat Snowman, who was hundreds of meters away, did not even have time to react before its head was chopped off by the sword.
Lin Huang did not hold back in this attack. It was the Sword Dao true meaning of the True Meaning Realm, the Lightning Instant Flash, the Fire Demon, and the God-slaying Power.
With four levels of Rule Bending Powers stacked together, the sword slashed off the Fat Snowman's life.
Before the Fat Snowman's head even hit the ground, its aura had completely dissipated.
Its massive body quickly collapsed into a huge pile of snow.
Killing a first-rank True God with a single slash was within Lin Huang's expectations, but it also made him inexplicably excited.
This was the first time he had killed a True God with his own hands, and it was also the first time he truly felt how powerful he was now.
"I can easily kill a first-rank True God, but I wonder if the upper limit of my abilities is at second-rank or third-rank …"
After spending a few minutes extracting the Divine Fire from the Fat Snowman's corpse, Lin Huang tossed it into his inner world.
After the white Divine Fire entered Lin Huang's inner world, it turned into a stream of light and entered one of the Life Wheels. To be more precise, it entered one of the Life Lamps and began to slowly merge with the dark red Divine Fire in the Life Lamp.
"At this rate, it'll take about a month to completely merge …"
Sensing the rate at which the Divine Fire was merging, Lin Huang could roughly estimate how long it would take for the fusion to be complete.
He glanced at the remaining nine Life Wheels and became more and more aware of what he had to do next …
