Keeping the Appointment
The biting wind howled, sweeping across the heavens and earth, scattering countless ice shards. In this icy world, icebergs rose into the sky. After countless years of being 'sculpted' by the cold wind, the icebergs were polished to a gleaming shine, their surfaces so smooth that one could even see the reflection of a person.
On the highest of these icebergs.
Eleven Profound Mysteries six-pointed star-shaped magic arrays were spread across the surface. Not far from these arrays stood an igloo. A white-robed old man with white hair and beard emerged from the igloo. His sky-blue eyes swept across the surroundings. "In this Arctic Icefield, it's difficult to even see a single person! In recent years, fewer and fewer people have come to the Saint Domain the Arctic Icefield Plains. This little fellow Luo Feng is indeed an unparalleled genius. In less than a hundred years, he has become Lowgod. With the guidance of renowned masters and powerful clans, becoming Midgod a hundred years is within his grasp. Such a genius must be captured. I refuse to believe that the Gebados Plane Prison cannot blackmail him."
At this moment, Hodan is probably prepared to use any means necessary to gain Luo Feng's loyalty. After all, if he enslaves a genius who can become an unparalleled powerhouse in the future, his status in the Reinales Clan will rise sharply. Although Hodan is only a Midgod, everyone has ambitions.
Suddenly, a streak of light pierced the air, followed by a whoosh as a phantom streaked across the sky and plunged directly into the boundless world of ice and snow. Luo Feng looked around; this was his first time here, and all he saw was a vast, desolate expanse of cold desolation.
At this moment, sitting cross-legged on the highest iceberg, Hodan smiled slightly upon seeing Luo Feng's arrival, and then said with a smile, "Luo Feng, you're quite punctual. The hundred-year anniversary has arrived today, and you've come now."
Luo Feng disliked arguing with Hodan, and said, "I didn't know Lord Hodan had summoned me here to give you some instructions. What is it?"
Hodan was well aware of Luo Feng's potential. He wanted to enslave Luo Feng while he was still weak, otherwise he would become a major threat in the future. He should either not do it at all, or he should do it to kill him in one blow. Otherwise, with Luo Feng's potential, he would definitely cause endless trouble in the future. Although Hodan knew this, his ambition ultimately blinded him.
"Luo Feng, do you know? There are countless powerful beings in those Four Higher Planes and Seven Divine Planes. Don't you want to experience that kind of exciting life? In the Yulan Continent, you have no rivals. Is this kind of lonely life really what you want?" Hodan said.
"Since there are so many powerful figures inside, and my strength would be at the bottom, I still want to cultivate on the Yulan Continent for a few thousand more years. Then I'll have a better chance of venturing into other planes." Luo Feng seemed to sense something. That old guy Hodan kept pushing him to go to other planes—could he be plotting something?
Hodan patiently explained, "Luo Feng, I come from the Reinales Clan of the Infernal Realm. Our family has countless powerful members, and even the top-tier Seven Star Fiend level experts in the Infernal Realm are just family elders. How about that? You should know that Seven Star Fiend are practically the strongest beings among the gods. I recommend you join my Reinales Clan. With the guidance of renowned masters, and given your potential, becoming a powerful figure is a sure thing."
Luo Feng knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Even without the guidance of a powerful figure, with his own strength, as long as he worked hard, he could reach a level comparable to Paragon High-God, even without fusing with a law. Why would he need to rely on the Reinales Clan?
"I'm sorry, Lord Hodan, I don't want to leave the Yulan Continent for the time being. If there's nothing else for you, Lord Hodan Luo Feng, then I'll take my leave." Luo Feng shook his head and politely said to Hodan.
At this moment, Hodan's expression changed. "Luo Feng, if you know what's good for you, sign Soul Contract with me. Otherwise, don't force me to take action. I kindly invited you to join my Reinales Clan, and you dare to refuse me."
A cold glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes as he said in a cold voice, "Hodan, what do you mean by this?" Luo Feng finally understood what Hodan was up to. He actually wanted to enslave him, so that no matter how high Luo Feng's achievements became, he would still be under Hodan's control. Hmph, what a clever plan. Luo Feng knew a lot about enslavement. In the original story, the Volcano Giant Pusluo, with the strength of Asura- level demon, was enslaved by Aliquin, Seven Star Fiend. In this way, even though Pusluo's strength far exceeded that of Aliquin, he would still be under Hodan's control. Now, Hodan was actually trying to pull the same trick on him.
Although Luo Feng addressed Hodan as "Sir," it was because Huo Dan was currently Midgod and Luo Feng himself was Lowgod, not out of any respect. In Luo Feng's eyes, he would one day stand at the pinnacle of godhood, while Hodan, a dog-like creature, dared to attempt to enslave him. How could Luo Feng not be furious?
The God's Domain is where Hodan uses elemental power to exert simple control over his surroundings.
"Pfft!" Space distorted.
Luo Feng has now become Lowgod in both systems. With the combined divine power of the two systems, he doesn't need to care about Hodan's God's Domain at all.
Hodan's body was faintly surrounded by divine power, and a dark blue longsword suddenly appeared in his hand, which he thrust towards Luo Feng.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
In a brief exchange, Luo Feng deftly dodged Hodan's attack, and then both Luo Feng and Hodan simultaneously flew back into the air. A strange cyan light appeared in Luo Feng's hand; it was truly Luo Feng's Highgod Artifact, the Azure Cloud Gloves.
Holding a dark blue longsword, Hodan grinned, his expression ferocious. "Since you refuse, then I'll suppress you with absolute force. In the end, you'll still be enslaved by me."
With a ferocious expression and a shrill scream, Hodan charged towards Luo Feng Luo Feng, wielding a deep blue longsword and slashing fiercely at him. But what met him was Luo Feng's dazzling palm strike!
Wind and water coexist
"Boom!"
The longsword and glove clashed, and a terrifying shockwave suddenly spread downwards. The entire surface of the Arctic Icefield cracked open with a "bang" and turned into dust. A meter of the surface of the Arctic Icefield was completely reduced to Arctic Icefield and blown away, revealing the ice beneath.
The shockwave crashed down, causing the entire Arctic Icefield ice sheet to cave in violently before exploding open with a deafening roar. Countless ice crystals scattered in all directions, and the resulting ice shards, like sharp arrows, would likely cause people to bleed profusely if they hit them.
"Want to kill me? Dream on." Luo Feng's expression was icy.
Hodan miscalculated!
He had initially thought that Luo Feng, being a newly ascended god, was of average strength and easy to defeat. But who would have thought... the power of Luo Feng's palm strike was no less than his sword strike! He was Midgod, while Luo Feng was merely a Lowgod. When did Lowgod become so powerful? Hodan roared inwardly.
He could never have known that Lu Foweng was no ordinary Lowgod, and that Luo Feng was Lowgod with Soul Mutation. With two Divine Clone, Luo Feng was no less powerful than Olivier was when she became Lowgod and killed Beaumont in the original story.
"Boom!"
A swirling, wavy, silvery-white aura immediately emanated from Hodan's body, spreading out over an area of tens of meters in an instant.
"Haha~~" Hodan laughed wildly, and at the same time brandished the dark blue longsword. Suddenly, Hodan's body split in two, revealing a person in a dark blue robe, who was indeed Hodan's Wind Element Midgod Divine Clone.
The deep blue longsword transformed into countless sword shadows, forming a wave of sword shadows that swept over. Luo Feng gritted his teeth, and his Water Element Divine Clone Wind Divine Clone merged their divine power, their Azure Cloud Gloves toward Hodan.
"Clang!"
The blue palm shadows collided with the wave of sword shadows, but a phantom sword shadow with a hint of blood red shot out from the blue longsword and directly entered Luo Feng's mind. Unfortunately, Luo Feng's Soul Mutation, and his mental power was exceptionally strong, making Luo Feng soul extremely powerful.
Then, Luo Feng's palm strike hit Hodan's longsword. However, although Luo Feng's Soul Mutation, his strength was still at the peak of the Lowgod level, which was still different from Hodan's strength as a Midgod. After that, the two separated and stood in mid-air, looking at each other from afar.
