Check in to become stronger in Devouring Star

Entering the mist, Qin Hao felt a blur in his vision, with visibility reduced to only about a thousand meters. Simultaneously, a force of gravity descended, and his figure began to fall.

However, Qin Hao quickly adjusted. Following the direction of the gravity, he rapidly descended and soon landed on Cloudtop Star.

Perennially shrouded in mist, Cloudtop Star's vegetation hadn't been greatly affected. Bizarre rocks, plants, and various mosses were visible everywhere.

Qin Hao also sensed the surrounding mist. Unlike ordinary water vapor, it was mixed with a strange energy.

“Even a Domain Lord couldn't sustain the power of laws for such a long time, let alone a deceased Domain Lord,” Qin Hao mused, combining the state of the surrounding mist with his own understanding of the Water Law. However, he couldn't replicate it.

“It seems this Cloudtop World still holds some secrets.” Thinking this, Qin Hao began searching for the entrance to the Cloudtop World.

The entrance to the Cloudtop World was also mentioned in the mission briefing. However, the damaged world wasn't completely stable, and the world's entrance would also change, though not too frequently.

“Hmm?” He hadn't expected that before even entering the Cloudtop World or seeing any space pirates, the competition among the examinees had already begun.

Not far from the world entrance, Qin Hao discovered a hidden team with a very clear target: Qin Hao himself. They had been lying in ambush from a distance, on Qin Hao's inevitable path to the world entrance.

Qin Hao didn't pay them any attention and continued forward. Approaching within a hundred meters of them, they began to move. In the mist, a hundred meters was already the maximum visible range for Star-level cultivators. Qin Hao's superior genes and powerful energy allowed him to see further than others.

These people clearly had detectors, but they could only determine a rough location. Moreover, the detection range of detectors that Star-level cultivators could afford was relatively limited. When this group discovered Qin Hao traveling alone, they had already targeted him.

They had been locking onto Qin Hao's location, choosing a spot on the path to the world entrance to ambush him.

“Haha, kid, we'll take your life, and we'll take your wealth!”

“That's right, blame yourself!”

“Let's finish this quickly, don't let him send out any messages!”

A five-person team, working together with extreme coordination, attacked Qin Hao, locking down all his escape routes. Clearly, this wasn't the first time they had done something like this; they were very experienced.

Five people: two at Star Level Rank 9, one at Star Level Rank 8, and two at Star Level Rank 7. Among the examinees, they were considered above average.

However, such strength was far from enough to fight Qin Hao. As the attacks arrived, Qin Hao's mind stirred, and the Water Domain was released. The surrounding mist rapidly gathered and was mobilized.

The five people's vision was completely obscured by the mist, their visible range rapidly shrinking until they couldn't even see a meter around them.

“Not good, run!” The leader, a Star Level Rank 9 cultivator, recognized the situation and knew they had kicked an iron plate. He shouted and quickly retreated, wanting to escape.

However, Qin Hao didn't give them the slightest chance. A five-colored ring appeared in his hand, quickly splitting into five parts, and attacked in five directions. In an instant, the five Star-level experts were directly beheaded, their bodies rolling to the ground.

“Still too weak, I couldn't even test the full power of the Five Elements Ring,” Qin Hao said, slinging the Five Elements Ring behind his back.

The Five Elements Ring was a weapon from the Origin Star King's treasury, forged with the Five Elements Laws of the Origin Star King. It could be used with individual laws or in combination with the Five Elements Laws. After obtaining this weapon, he had directly given it to his first clone.

After all, the first clone mainly focused on the Five Elements Laws and was the most suitable for this weapon.

After dealing with the five people, Qin Hao continued forward and soon arrived at the entrance to the Cloudtop World. Stepping into the world entrance, Qin Hao felt a sense of danger and quickly moved, disappearing from the spot.

“Quick, catch up, that person ran away!”

“Haha, you can't escape. You think you can run away after entering the Cloudtop World?”

“How bold, a Star Level Rank 1 dares to come to the Cloudtop World? The threshold for the universe probationary mercenary exam is getting lower and lower.”

With a series of maniacal laughter, hundreds of space pirates rushed toward Qin Hao.

However, the space pirates guarding the world entrance were often some of the weaker ones, unable to occupy resources and territories in the Cloudtop World. They could only guard the world entrance, taking advantage of opportunities. They would hide from the strong and rely on numbers to seize resources from the weak.

However, they had clearly made a mistake this time. The gang of hundreds of space pirates, although numerous, consisted mostly of Planet-level cultivators, with less than 20% being Star-level, and all of them were low to mid-rank.

Before the hundreds of people had any chance to attack, as the shouts had just begun, the Five Elements Ring behind Qin Hao had already transformed into a series of flying blades, rapidly reaping the lives of these space pirates.

Although this clone of Qin Hao wasn't a spiritual mentalist, through the release and control of gene energy, the power released by the Five Elements Ring was no worse than any spiritual mentalist.

“A gang of hundreds of space pirates, yet the total bounty is less than 10,000 Black Dragon Coins? They really are weak.” Looking at the accumulated bounty amount, Qin Hao couldn't help but complain.

A million Black Dragon Coins didn't seem like much, but it was already a considerable fortune for ordinary Star-level cultivators.

“It seems I need to find some larger space pirate gangs.” Qin Hao made up his mind and advanced deeper into the Cloudtop World.

Entering the Cloudtop World, Qin Hao also felt the difference of a Domain Lord's world. The pervasive mist was even denser, and Qin Hao could even feel a strange fluctuation. It was this strange fluctuation that created the anomaly in the surrounding mist.

It was precisely because he sensed the difference that Qin Hao decided to quickly complete the examination task and explore the differences of the Cloudtop World.

Quickly leaving the entrance, Qin Hao advanced toward the location of a large space pirate gang in the Cloudtop World. Before the examination, Qin Hao had spent a considerable amount of money to learn about the distribution of space pirates throughout the Cloudtop World.

This time's target had multiple Star Level Rank 9 cultivators and over a thousand space pirates, with a total bounty exceeding a million. As long as he eliminated them all, then this examination goal would be completed.
