The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

"Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast is merely a descendant of the Golden Beast God. Its first fusion with Blood Crystals was enough to fuse dozens in one go. I now possess the Golden Beast God's true form and avatar, my connection to the Beast God's origin is ten thousand times stronger than his. There's no reason I'm inferior to a mere descendant!"

The fusion of Blood Crystals continues.

The 11th, 12th, 18th, 23rd...

"That's 32 already!"

"My Blood Crystals are all gone!"

Before the throne, Ba Qi finally stopped what he was doing.

He currently possesses a total of twenty-seven Blood Crystals. Including the five he fused with earlier, all of them have now been integrated into his body, bringing his total to 32! This far exceeds the ten-crystal threshold required to become a Black Warrior!

"When fusing the 32nd one, the process remained completely smooth, without the slightest stagnation or backlash, and even the impact on one's will was negligible!"

Ba Qi knew perfectly well that this meant that the 32 Blood Crystals were still far from reaching his fusion limit!

"Maybe I can fuse 100 of them all at once!" Ba Qi's mind was churning, and he was in a state of extreme excitement.

Blood Crystals were originally formed from the condensed blood of the Golden Beast God, containing the Golden Beast God's primordial will and killing intent. Now, having nurtured the Golden Beast God's true form, it shares the same origin and is born from the same source as the Beast God. Compared to the Golden Horned Beast, which is also a descendant of the Beast God, the connection is many times stronger. Fusing one hundred Blood Crystals is by no means a pipe dream!

One hundred Blood Crystals! If the fusion is successful, the power amplification of his Blood Crystals will reach a full one hundred times!

And this is already the perfect limit of the life gene level allowed by the original rules of the universe!

"It's not just the increase in power; my compatibility with the Golden Void Laws has also increased dramatically since the creation of the Beast God Avatar!"

"Comprehending the fundamental laws of the Golden Void is now several times easier than before fusing with the Blood Crystal!"

Originally, Ba Qi expected to gain the recognition of the Golden Origin Law and reach the peak of the Realm Lord within a thousand years. But now, having fused with 32 Blood Crystals, he is absolutely certain that this time will be significantly shortened!

"Blood Crystal!"

"I must obtain more Blood Crystals from the Temple of Immortality!"

The next moment, Ba Qi did not hesitate for a moment and activated the communication device on his wrist again.

As soon as the call connected, the rough voice of the wild beast Qi Niu came from the other end: "Ba Qi, my brother, I have submitted your application for the energy crystals you requested. It will be approved soon, so there's no need to rush."

"No, Brother Qi Niu, I have something else important to discuss with you," Ba Qi said directly. "I need you to help me apply to the temple for a batch of Blood Crystals."

"Blood Crystals?" The wild beast Qi Niu's tone was full of doubt. He knew very well that Ba Qi had always held a lot of Blood Crystals in reserve.

"I'm planning to expand the Blood God Guard's ranks," Ba Qi casually offered a plausible excuse.

Upon hearing this, Qi Niu on the other end of the communication line immediately understood.

After all, every warrior who joins the Blood God Guard under Ba Qi receives at least one Blood Crystal. If they want to expand their manpower, they do need a large number of Blood Crystals as a base.

"How much do you want?" Qi Niu asked directly.

"70," Ba Qi said without hesitation.

"So many?!" Qi Niu was immediately taken aback.

"I plan to expand the Blood God Guard to nearly a hundred people," Ba Qi added calmly.

This isn't entirely a lie. In the original story, when Luo Feng entered the Blood Luo World, his Blood God Guards had indeed expanded to ninety-six people, and Luo Feng was the ninety-seventh when he joined.

"Expanding so much all at once?" Qi Niu was still somewhat puzzled. "My brother, your standards for selecting Blood God Guards have always been strict. Without sufficient talent, they simply don't meet your criteria. Are you going to lower your standards?"

"As you know, I have already reached the world level, and it won't be long before I take control of the World City and become the World Lord. At that time, I will need a lot of manpower to expand my territory and conquer all directions." Ba Qi said calmly, making his excuse perfectly. "The expansion of the Blood God Guard is imminent. If we continue to select people slowly according to the previous standards, we definitely won't be able to catch up."

Of course, all of these words were just pretexts. He knew better than anyone that he had absolutely no intention of conquering the World City or expanding his territory. All his plans were solely for the purpose of quickly gathering Blood Crystals and reaching the 100-crystal limit for perfect fusion!

"I see." The voice of the wild beast Qi Niu came from the other end of the communicator. "Applying for 70 Blood Crystals at once is indeed a bit difficult. However, given your status and position, and the fact that you have just entered the world-class realm, the Immortal Temple will surely approve it."

"Get it done for me as soon as possible." Ba Qi's tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

"Don't worry, I've got it covered," the wild beast Qi Niu readily agreed.

After hanging up the communication, Ba Qi lightly tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingertips, understanding the situation.

Seventy Blood Crystals may seem like an astonishing number, but to the Immortal Temple that controls the entire Blood World, they are utterly insignificant.

It should be noted that the Blood Continent boasts tens of millions of world cities, as well as countless territories of varying sizes.

The most basic requirement for becoming the lord of a city or a regional leader is to fuse with at least one Blood Crystal.

If each of these tens of millions of World Lords at the Realm Lord level fused with at least one, that would already amount to tens of millions of items, not to mention the even larger number of Domain Lord-level warriors.

In Ba Qi's view, the Blood Crystals held by the Immortal Temple must number in the hundreds of millions.

Of course, even with such a vast amount, the Immortal Temple still maintains extremely strict control over the distribution of Blood Crystals, and very few large quantities will flow out of the temple.

Only someone like him, considered by the temple to be a once-in-a-millennium genius in the Blood Luo World, would dare to ask for this quantity.

For an ordinary realm master-level genius, applying for 70 Blood Crystals at once would be nothing short of a pipe dream, with absolutely no possibility whatsoever.

……

Seven days later.

Inside the magnificent hall.

"Ba Qi, I've sent you the Blood Crystals you applied for before."

The massive, mountain-like body of the wild beast Qi Niu strode into the main hall with heavy steps, each step causing the palace floor to tremble slightly.

He looked up at Ba Qi, who sat high on the throne, his rough voice echoing throughout the hall.

"My brother, thank you for your trouble, coming all the way here in person." Ba Qi slowly rose from his throne, looked at Qi Niu, and smiled faintly.

"It's not hard work at all." The wild beast Qi Niu walked over slowly.

"Hmm... Brother, why do I feel like you're completely different from before?" The next moment, the wild beast Qi Niu suddenly stared intently at Ba Qi, his large, copper-bell-sized eyes filled with astonishment.
