Five giant beasts rammed Li Mo, but he used his trusty fist for ten second, settling any offenders.
Yan Wenjing and the two demons looked over numb.
In their journey through this steppe, they saw Li Mo punch and kick over a hundred giant beasts so far.
Not that hard since any level six or above had the body to fight a giant beast, even without spiritual qi. But to make quick work of them like Li Mo did, that was another thing entirely…
“Wob~”
“Wob~”
A three hundred meter long fish appeared.
Yes siree, a fish. It swam in the air like a fish in water.
It was red all over and packed with scales. Although gigantic, it ‘swam’ with grace through the air like an eel.
The pig cried, “B-b-boss, an elder of my race once said the Blood Steppe has a fish demon king. No spiritual qi could restrain it and has incredible strength!”
Li Mo had came here in the past and knew the secret of the Blood Steppe.
“Wob~”
“Wob~”
The fish spotted Li Mo, and with a wiggle, it shot for him and swallowed him whole.
Yan Wenjing and the demons bolted on the spot…
There was no hope placed on Li Mo’s survivability. It was every man/demon for themselves.
Pff…
A hole blew up from the top of the fish’s head and Li Mo came out as the fish collapsed.
One hit killed the fish king!
“B-b-b-boss is outstanding!” The pig stammered.
Great Horse King was ashamed.
Yan Wenjing had a flat expression, per usual.
Li Mo stood on the top of the fish with its demon crystal in hand.
Unlike a giant beast’s demon crystal, this fish’s demon crystal was multicolored, a true marvel.
Li Mo said to the demons, “Who wants it? Eating this demon crystal, you will no longer be restrained in the Blood Steppe.”
“B-b-boss, you’re really giving me this great treasure?” The pig drooled.
“I am ashamed to take it.” Great Horse King didn’t approach, embarrassed.
“It’s fine, take it.”
Li Mo threw the demon crystal to Great Horse King.
The pig had no objections. He knew very well of his ‘status’.
“Eat it, or it will vanish in ten minutes.”
“I see.” Great Horse King swallowed it.
He started giving off blinding lights and soon could use demon qi.
“Wob~”
“Wob~”
Great Horse King just finished eating it and another giant fish was seen ten miles out.
This one was twice as bigg than the last one.
“W-what’s going on?” Great Horse King cried..
Li Mo said, “The fish demon in the Blood Steppe has undying body. Each death will only make it stronger.”
“They can’t die?” Yan Wenjing shuddered.
“I don’t know. I only heard how a ninth level killed it thirty times before ultimately dying himself.”
“Ninth level!”
The demons cried.
On Imperial Planet, besides the vile demon in the God’s forbidden area, the strongest was an eight level.
An eight level had free rein on Imperial Planet. he could go wherever he wished.
“A fish demon grows stronger with each death, but their demon crystal remains the same. Its only use is to remove the restriction in this place.”
Three hours later, the gang left the Blood Steppe without a hitch and were met with such a wide river they couldn’t even see the other shore.
What flowed through it was a mix of water and yellow sand. Tracing their hands through it, they found it was mostly yellow sand.
The pig said, “Boss, this is the River of Sand. It sinks everything and a mile deep. It’s skies have an even harsher restriction on spiritual qi than the Blood Steppe. Not even birds can fly over. My elder said the only way to cross it is with the help of a king level river demon.”
Li Mo eyed pig. He never expected him to know the secret of the River of Sand.
“I’ll try it!”
Great Horse King stomped forward.
Pff…
The Great Horse King, a fifth level being’s stomp did absolutely nothing.
Yan Wenjing went next, with three talismans but still nothing.
“River demon, I am Great Horse King of Demon Mountain. Please come see us.”
Great Horse King shouted for a long time, but the River of Sand’s waters flowed unchanged.
“Piggy, didn’t you say there are river demons here?”
“How should I know? It’s my first time here. I only heard my elder mention it…”
“What do we do now, sir?”
Pig saw Li Mo standing on the shore, fiddling with a jade.
“Part.”
Li Mo spoke and the light from the jade split the river waters in two.
“Of fire and water’s greatest cultivation methods, I only know Pyrokinesis. If I knew Hydrokinesis, I wouldn’t have had such a hard time with this river.”
Li Mo muttered as he walked.
“A god!”
“This god’s power is limitless. I am so glad to be alive right now…”
The demons followed, with Yan Wenjing coming as well, but only after looking intently at the jade.
Li Mo used the jade to set up a Water Repelling Array. But the array only had a range of a hundred meters and Li Mo was forced to supplement with another at some point.
When he finished setting up the third array, Yan Wenjing couldn’t contain her curiosity, “Daddy, what do we do if the array is destroyed?”
“Drown.” Li Mo spoke sagely.
“Are there monsters in this river?”
“Yes. Didn’t you listen when pig said there’s a demon king in it?”
“Strictly speaking, the fish demon I killed can’t be said to be a demon king. A true demon king is a seventh level demon.”
Yan Wenjing asked, “How strong are you now?”
“Peak sixth level.”
“What if we come across a demon king? Can you beat it?”
“Nope.” Yan Wenjing paled.
Looking at all the surging waters around her, it’d be a wonder if she’d ever feel at ease…
Pig cried, “Boss, someone’s in front!”
And sure enough, a humanoid was cross-legged on the river bed, surrounded by the muddy water…
“Demon king!”
The demons and Yan Wenjing cried in unison.
