Check in to become stronger in Devouring Star

As night fell, Qin Hao's figure vanished from the inn where he was staying. Strolling along the street, all the surrounding light seemed to be blocked, as if Qin Hao had merged into the darkness. Even the patrolling soldiers passing by didn't notice his presence.

After traversing several streets, Qin Hao arrived directly at the main gate of the City Lord's mansion, leaping over and entering within. Soon, he reached the backyard of the mansion, finding the City Lord's room.

"The four great families have been quite restless lately," a middle-aged voice emanated from the room, filled with disdain.

"City Lord, the four great families haven't given up on their desire to seize power and have always coveted your position. However, they are all cowards who fear death, not even daring to fuse with Blood Origin Crystals. They actually want to unite and deceive the heavens," a fawning voice replied obsequiously.

In the Blood Origin World, the requirements for a City Lord or World City Lord, aside from strength, is that they must fuse with Blood Origin Crystals. This is a characteristic of this world, and also a way for the Undying Divine Palace to cultivate more seeds, hoping to break through to the Venerable realm and free the Blood Origin World from its controlled fate.

Qin Hao didn't immediately enter the room but listened to their conversation. Although Qin Hao understood some of the situations of the four great families and five major forces, many secrets were still difficult to uncover.

Through their conversation, Qin Hao gained a clearer understanding of the four great families and five major forces. However, what Qin Hao was more concerned about was how many Blood Origin Crystals each of these forces actually had in stock.

"It seems that after dealing with the City Lord's mansion, I'll have to visit each of the other forces as well," Qin Hao thought. No longer wanting to delay, his figure disappeared, directly entering the room.

"Who's there!" the Clearwind City Lord shouted sharply, his Wind Domain instantly expanding, enveloping the entire room. He scanned his surroundings, searching.

Qin Hao didn't give him the slightest chance. The moment he entered the room, his entire being seemed to transform into a sharp sword, instantly appearing behind the Clearwind City Lord, the longsword in his hand directly piercing his life core. The Clearwind City Lord instantly lost his breath, his body collapsing to the ground.

Dealing with a Domain Lord was almost effortless for Qin Hao. The only thing he needed to pay attention to was determining the location of the life core and quickly delivering a fatal blow. After all, although he had the ability to directly slaughter the entire City Lord's mansion, the commotion would be too great and wouldn't benefit his actions in the Blood Origin World.

Taking the spatial ring from the corpse, he glanced at it before throwing it directly into his own world ring. Qin Hao's figure disappeared, calmly leaving the City Lord's mansion.

After leaving the City Lord's mansion, Qin Hao didn't leave Clearwind City directly but went to the locations of the four great families and five major forces one by one. He replicated the operation from the City Lord's mansion, delivering fatal blows and collecting Blood Origin Crystals before disappearing.

However, whether it was Qin Hao's bad luck or the good fortune of the leaders of these forces, the heads of four families and five major forces were actually absent.

Qin Hao didn't force it. After collecting the Blood Origin Crystals, he directly left Clearwind City.

After leaving Clearwind City, Qin Hao's goal was very clear. He quickly headed to the next city. From the Clearwind City Lord, Qin Hao had obtained a map of the current world, and he already had a clear understanding of the distribution of the surrounding cities.

Next was the collection of Blood Origin Crystals within each target area. After completing the collection, the next step was to fuse with the Blood Origin Crystals.

For ten years, Qin Hao traveled through the various worlds of the Blood Origin World, sometimes needing to use a spaceship when traversing between worlds. After sweeping through thousands of worlds, Qin Hao had collected nearly one hundred thousand Blood Origin Crystals.

This was the result Qin Hao obtained while being selective. After all, although he was a visitor from outside, he wasn't someone who would wantonly kill for profit. In the cities and world cities he chose, Qin Hao had conducted some investigation and selection before taking action.

It was precisely because of this that Qin Hao wasted a lot of time. However, the good thing was that because these people had many bad deeds, even after being killed, it was more likely to be seen as revenge.

Compared to Domain Lord-level experts who could be easily manipulated, Qin Hao suffered a loss the first time he faced a World Lord. It wasn't that he was at a disadvantage in the battle, but that the commotion was too great, attracting a lot of attention, and Qin Hao could only leave quickly.

After all, Qin Hao was only at the Universe level now. Relying on his comprehension of the laws, he could crush Domain Lord-level experts, but World Lords themselves controlled the world, and with the blessing of the world's illusory shadow, it was difficult for Qin Hao to defeat them in a short period of time.

However, that was only the first time. The second time, Qin Hao didn't directly engage in battle but used the Myriad Beast Chart he obtained from checking in in the Blood Origin World. In the recent check-ins, the Myriad Beast Chart was already a good reward. The rewards from the check-ins in previous years were still quite lackluster.

The only thing better than the Myriad Beast Chart was the Jiang Lan Realm he obtained when entering the Wu Chen Space-Time, which was also a good artifact. After all, it could accelerate time, which could help Qin Hao save a lot of cultivation time, and it was also a good life-saving artifact.

At least in front of Immortals and Venerables, Qin Hao could completely hide himself and wait for the enemy to leave.

Speaking of which, the Jiang Lan Realm, Myriad Beast Chart, Star Tears, and Nine Hundred Arrays that Qin Hao currently possessed were all Qin Chen's opportunities. After all, he was from the main family, so the benefits were still good.

In the first layer of the Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Hao sat on the ground, took out a Blood Origin Crystal, and began to prepare to fuse with it. Now Qin Hao could only enter the first layer of the Jiang Lan Realm. The second layer required at least a World Lord level to open, and Qin Hao estimated that he would have to become a Venerable to open the third layer.

Carefully examining the Blood Origin Crystal in his hand, it was a triangular prism-shaped blood crystal with strands of gold thread inside. Without much hesitation, Qin Hao directly integrated the Blood Origin Crystal into his body. As the Blood Origin Crystal merged, Qin Hao felt a surge of killing intent.

His body began to ache constantly as the Blood Origin Crystal began to melt and fuse into his body. Qin Hao felt the impact on his will and quickly broke free from the influence. Feeling the power of the Blood Origin Crystal entering his body, a small portion integrated into various parts of his body, but most of the energy was absorbed by his lungs and entered the seed formed by the Law of Gold within the lung space, becoming nourishment for the seed's growth.

The first Blood Origin Crystal fused very quickly. In just over ten minutes, the power of the Blood Origin Crystal had been completely absorbed. Qin Hao's body hadn't even become much stronger, but his perception of the Law of Gold had become much clearer.
