It only took him a few years to learn the Saint's techniques. Then, step-by-step, he advanced to the Spirit monarch realm Eighth Cla.s.s.
This time, he had entered the Sun Mystic Realm with the intention of finding the Sun Monarch's treasures and using them to reach the Saint Realm.
Wutian Mo had always kept the dream alive that, once he became a Saint, he would return to Earth to his master, the Conqueror. It was his greatest wish.
However, he had been surprised when he met a young man in one of Mars's cities that looked so similar to the Conqueror.
Wutian Mo stared at Qingfeng Li. "Who are you to the Conqueror?" he asked.
Qingfeng Li smiled. "The Conqueror, Third Master Li, was my father," he replied. "I'm his son."
Wutian Mo's expression underwent a series of rapid changes. He was the First of the Ten Great Demon Kings. Even in all of the Crimson Fire Continent, his power ranked among the top twenty. He was no doubt a master of great renown. In addition to that, he was also the Number One master on the Devil Rankings.
But now, his expression had changed several times in a row. If anyone else saw this, they would no doubt be surprised. Surely only a matter of great importance could the Number One Devil so unsettled.
Wutian Mo shook his head. "What proof do you have that you are the son of the Conqueror, Third Master Li?" he asked.
With a thought, Qingfeng Li removed the Conqueror's Badge from his interspatial ring. "Behold, the Conqueror's Badge!" Qingfeng Li said aloud. "The presence of the Conqueror's Badge holds the same weight as the presence of the Conqueror himself. First Devil, Wutian Mo, do you still refuse to kneel?"
Seeing the obsidian Conqueror's Badge, Wutian Mo's expression settled on something like awe as he threw himself down to his knees. There was reverence in his voice as he spoke, "Of the Ten Great Demon Kings, the Black Tiger Demon King, humbly greets the Young Master."
Having heard Wutian Mo's words, the self-cultivator gathered around looked on in shock. There was awe in their eyes, along with heavy disbelief.
Just now, they had thought that Qingfeng Li was certainly going to die. He appeared to be just a handsome man with no power or background.
However, to their utter shock, the infamous First Devil of the Crimson Fire Continent, whose name had struck fear into the hearts of an entire generation, was kneeling before Qingfeng Li, calling him Young Master.
How powerful must this Qingfeng Li's background be? They couldn't imagine.
Not only were the by-standers shocked, Biao Huo, too, wore an expression of awe.
As the Monarch of a Top-Tier Dynasty, he was indeed strong both in personal strength and influence. However, he still could not compare to the Number One Devil on the Devil Rankings.
At this moment, Biao Huo's heart was filled with regret. If he had known earlier that this man had such influence, he would never have come into this store. However, it was too late. Besides, his son was still in the other's clutches. This wasn't going to be an easy situation to resolve.
Qingfeng Li did not look at anyone else in the room. He only stared ahead at Wutian Mo, a hint of joy in his eyes.
Although Qingfeng Li wasn't at all afraid of Biao Huo and his son, and could kill them easily, he was still very happy to see Wutian Mo. He could sense his immense power.
In addition, as the Number One Devil on the Devil Rankings, Wutian Mo must have powerful subordinates. For example, many lower-ranking devils on the Devil Rankings followed the orders of the Number One Devil. This was no doubt a powerful force.
With Wutian Mo's help, Qingfeng Li would certainly have a much easier time in the Sun Mystic Realm. Even if he met a self-cultivator from one of the Four Supreme Dynasties, he needn't be afraid any longer. In addition, Qingfeng Li was dead set on obtaining the treasures of the Sun Monarch.
Qingfeng Li knew that, once he received the treasures of the Sun Monarch, his power would grow at an astonis.h.i.+ng rate. When he left the Sun Mystic Realm, he would have his final battle with the overlord of the planet, the Crimson Fire Monarch. And only one of them would leave the battle alive.
This was why Qingfeng Li needed to quickly increase his power in the Sun Mystic Realm. Only with greater power could he hope to survive the coming duel.
Qingfeng Li looked to Wutian Mo. "Stand up," he said. "You needn't kneel any longer."
"Yes, Young Master," Wutian Mo raised his hands in salute before standing.
By now, Wutian Mo had realized that the Young Master's power level was below his own. However, the other was the son of the Conqueror, Third Master Li, who was the person that Wutian Mo admired the most. Because of this, even if Qingfeng Li was weaker than him, he still willingly called him "Young Master."
