I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

This is the fundamental reason why powerful beings from different universes fight each other. They need the precious resources that appear in other universes to promote the development of their own universe. If they rely solely on the resources of one universe, it will be difficult for them to truly advance to a higher realm.

It can be said that the actions of powerful figures in any world are always purposeful; they don't fight without a reason. Ultimately, it's all about mutual benefit, so it's not surprising that Luo Yuan is participating in such a battle.

People come here not only to improve their practical abilities in battles with other geniuses and powerful individuals from other universes, but also to have the opportunity to obtain even more precious resources. It is precisely because of this allure that they devote themselves wholeheartedly to the battles.

Luo Yuan also gained many benefits during the battle, and he knew that the arena he was in was just one of countless arenas. Even if he achieved the top ranking in this competition, they would participate in more battles to select even stronger individuals. The purpose of this was to select the most outstanding geniuses and strong individuals.

Luo Yuan has already made his choice, so since he has come here, he must hope to achieve better results, obtain valuable resources, and also witness the extraordinary geniuses born from the vast universe. Only in this way can he grow faster and see more spectacular scenery.

Any ambitious and powerful individual would certainly not want to be confined to a small space, because only by venturing out can they truly rise, become stronger, and even surpass all universes to become a supreme being.

Then no powerful being will be able to threaten them, and they will be able to control everything in the universe. They can solve all problems in the blink of an eye. Originally, Luo Yuan thought that he would be able to reach a very high level and gain more freedom after cultivating to the Hunyuan realm. Now he understands.

He hasn't fully reached that level yet, because there are even more powerful beings above him that make it difficult for him to stay. If he stops, he will immediately fall behind, and it will become very difficult to continue growing. Most importantly, the universe he inhabits will also face extremely difficult risks at any time.

If you live your life in a daze without knowing these risks, you may eventually feel at ease and even proud and complacent. However, when danger comes, you will have no ability to cope and can only watch helplessly as you turn into ruins as the risks arrive.

Luo Yuan absolutely did not want to see such a scene, because he always believed that in order to control his own destiny, he had to have greater strength. Only by standing at the top could he truly gain freedom and be controlled by other powerful people. He was also unwilling to disappear suddenly and inexplicably without a sound.

While Luo Yuan was considering his options, the person in charge of the arena called out his name. It turned out that Luo Yuan needed to go into battle again. Moreover, he had managed to persist in the battle until now without being eliminated. The strong ones were now the elite of the elite. However, Luo Yuan was not worried. On the contrary, he was even more excited.

Luo Yuan also hoped that these geniuses from different universes could bring him more benefits. He also wanted to know the effects of different cultivation systems and how they would help him learn from them and integrate them into his own cultivation system.

Luo Yuan is now finding it difficult to improve his realm and strength in a short period of time. Moreover, the secret techniques and treasures he possesses have reached their current peak. Under these circumstances, if Luo Yuan wants to continue to improve his strength, he can only rely on refining the various combat methods he has mastered.

Therefore, if one cannot advance on their own, they can approach the combat systems of other cosmic civilizations. This will make them stronger and give them the means to fight against those powerful beings in the universe. Only in this way can Luo Yuan remain invincible.

However, he has not yet truly participated in a legion war with other powerful beings from different universes, so he can take this opportunity to learn about the combat styles of these powerful beings and adapt to this rhythm. This will give him a better chance of winning in legion battles, since many powerful beings in legion systems are prone to death because the risk is extremely high.

Even if one demonstrates a significant advantage and talent potential in one-on-one combat, once involved in a legion battle involving a large number of strong individuals, if one's individual strength does not surpass that of most of the strong individuals, then one will not have the ability to defeat all the strong individuals.

Of course, Luo Yuan himself was unwilling to participate in any legion battles, because he felt that such combat methods often required a large number of strong people to cooperate to achieve better results. However, as strong people who had cultivated a martial arts system, they still felt that one-on-one combat was the best.

When an individual strongman encounters a large number of strongmen of the same type, the best course of action is to retreat. It is extremely difficult to fight all the strongmen alone, unless one's own level of cultivation is far superior to theirs, in which case it is possible to turn the tide of battle.

Therefore, Luo Yuan always prioritizes a person's strength as the most important factor, because only in this way can he become stronger. This time, Luo Yuan's opponent was also from a universe that cultivates martial arts, but the martial arts system cultivated by the opponent was completely different from that of Luo Yuan's universe.

The other side has a very complete cultivation method. Whether it is the most basic body tempering realm or the so-called true martial realm, they all attach great importance to their own combat ability, and focus on close combat ability. However, the martial arts system cultivated by Luo Yuan and others can be said to have reached a very high level in both physical combat and mental power.

Furthermore, once the powerful beings in Luo Yuan's universe reach the Immortal Realm, they no longer have a clear distinction between genetic energy and mental power. In other words, everyone's combat systems will be quite similar at that time. The only difference will be which one is more effective in actual combat, and the corresponding combat mode will be used accordingly.

However, the opponents Luo Yuan is currently fighting in, all the powerful beings in their universe, have very distinct cultivation systems. One type is those who completely temper their bodies to achieve a level of self-sacrifice, which is the purest form of body cultivation. The other type focuses on developing their primordial spirit power to cultivate various powerful soul techniques.

Of course, there are also cases where one person combines both cultivation methods, but it is very rare for a strong person to cultivate both to an extremely high level, because it means that they will have to spend more than twice the time and effort of other strong people to reach this level.

This time, Luo Yuan's opponent was a powerful individual who cultivated two systems simultaneously. It could be said that he had a great advantage in both close combat and ranged attacks. His combat ability was in no way weaker than Luo Yuan's, even though Luo Yuan had also reached the Hunyuan level in both cultivation systems.

However, he discovered that the secret techniques he cultivated did not actually reach a very complete system. This was because he had not yet truly organized these inheritances into a very complete and powerful combat mode. However, the cultivation system possessed by his opponent had already reached a pinnacle in this regard.

This actually reveals that the opponent's universe has been in existence for a much longer period of time than Luo Yuan's universe, which is why they have been able to develop to their current level. This means that the opponent's universe is in a higher dimension than Luo Yuan's, making it more difficult for Luo Yuan to defeat them.

If other powerful individuals in the Infinite Chaos Space were to encounter such an opponent, the likelihood of ultimate defeat would be very high, and it would be difficult for them to even sustain a fight against him. However, Luo Yuan was able to achieve a level in both of his cultivation methods that was roughly equivalent to that of his opponent.

Therefore, Luo Yuan was not worried much when facing such a powerful opponent. He was only thinking about how to defeat the opponent. The best way was to learn the various powerful techniques that the opponent possessed during the battle and then integrate them into his own cultivation system as soon as possible.

Luo Yuan's confidence stems from his already formidable foundation, which has resulted in exceptionally high comprehension. This allows him to learn and improve his strength simultaneously during battles, making him even more powerful. Furthermore, by understanding his opponent's fighting style, he can turn the tables and suppress them, ultimately achieving victory.

When two sides are fighting, if the difference in strength between them is not that great, then it depends on how much strength they can improve during the battle. The more strength they improve, the greater their chance of winning. This is very useful in any situation.

Therefore, combat is a very good way to grow, and only through this method can one greatly improve the efficiency of one's growth. During the battle, Luo Yuan also realized that there were still some problems with his cultivation system, and only through continuous improvement could he reach the most perfect level.

Chapter 747 Energy Control

This year's Genius Battle was more exciting than any previous one, with a large number of talented individuals participating. They treated this place as their stage to make a name for themselves, since they had all reached the highest level in their respective universes and had achieved peak strength and reputation.

Therefore, this is no longer enough for these geniuses and powerhouses. They now hope to achieve a higher ranking by participating in this battle of geniuses held in ten universes. In this way, they can gain greater fame in the ten universes, and at the same time, they can also gain the attention of the creator god who is observing their competition.

After all, although these geniuses and powerful individuals have not yet reached the level of the Primordial Lord, and therefore have a long way to go before they can break through to become Creator Gods, if they can receive special training from a Creator God, then their chances of breaking through to a higher realm in the future are very high.

Because they all knew that only the most outstanding geniuses would be given special attention by the creator god and eventually be accepted as his successors, any powerful person with ambition would not let go of this opportunity to show off. Therefore, they used all the powerful secret techniques they had learned during the battle, without holding back at all.

After all, there was no benefit in hiding their strengths. Under such circumstances, all the powerful figures watching the battle witnessed an unforgettable battle feast. Luo Yuan was also able to further improve his abilities in all aspects through this battle of these geniuses, and at the same time, he was able to gain a clearer understanding of the charm contained in the cultivation civilizations represented by the powerful figures from different universes.

He could also understand the effects of different energies after they were used. This way, even if Luo Yuan faced these powerful figures in the future, he would have the means to defeat them. Luo Yuan was currently fighting against that cultivator from the martial arts world. He could clearly feel that the other party's energy consumption rate had far exceeded his own over time. This fully demonstrated that Luo Yuan was much better at controlling energy than this powerful figure.

The place where they are fighting now contains no energy, so the energy they consume cannot be replenished immediately. In this situation, the energy they can use is the energy they have acquired through long-term cultivation. Once their energy is depleted to a certain level, their strength will be immediately weakened.

If their energy is depleted, it means they will be unable to gain any benefit in this battle and will ultimately have to withdraw. Without energy, they will not be qualified to participate in the next battle, as will all the strong individuals who participated in this battle of geniuses.

They all understood that to achieve a high ranking and persevere to the end, they had to maximize their energy. Otherwise, they would lose the chance to participate in the next round before the battle was over, which would be a huge loss.

The problem is that these geniuses and powerful individuals must remain vigilant during battles, and to unleash their powerful techniques, they must rely on consuming energy. Otherwise, relying solely on their own abilities will not achieve the desired effect, nor will they be able to truly unleash their strength. Ultimately, gaining the attention of the creator god will become even more impossible.

During the battle, Luo Yuan mostly used methods he had created to reduce energy consumption. This was because Luo Yuan knew very well that if his environment did not have the energy he possessed, he would not be able to achieve final victory.

In this situation, he must make the most of every bit of energy he has, so as to unleash the most powerful means with the least consumption. This is not only related to whether the strong can win in the end, but also to the degree of their control over energy. Only the strong who have reached this state can be truly called geniuses.

Another important reason is that the universe where Luo Yuan is currently located has a different cultivation system from other universes, and they cannot even share energy. This severely limits the development of their strength. Luo Yuan also learned about this from some of the inheritances he received, namely, if he could break through to the level of a creator god.

At that time, they will no longer be limited by the difference in the amount of energy they possess, because when a powerful being at that level uses any means, they do not need to consume their own energy. Instead, they can directly control the power of the entire universe for their own use. In other words, powerful beings whose strength reaches the level of a creator god or above will no longer have the defect of being limited by energy, because the various means they use are based on the power they control over the entire universe.

This is why many powerful beings in the universe want to break through their current realm and become beings at the level of the Primordial Lord. Only at this realm do they have the qualifications and opportunities to break through to the level of the Creator God. Since Luo Yuan has decided to participate in this battle of geniuses and powerful beings.

He must achieve final victory and first place. Therefore, what he should do is to deplete his opponent's energy as much as possible and conserve his own. Although Luo Yuan himself has a lot of energy reserves, he will not waste them casually.

Luo Yuan was well aware that there wasn't much difference in realm and strength between himself and the powerful opponent he was currently fighting. It was precisely because they had reached this point that they had often reached their limits. However, Luo Yuan had two very significant advantages. First, he had a large amount of energy reserves, and second, his control over energy far surpassed that of his opponent, allowing him to maintain peak combat power.

The second advantage is that Luo Yuan has a very strong comprehension ability, so he can understand all of his opponent's methods in a very short time and then suppress them. In other words, the longer the battle lasts, the greater the chance that Luo Yuan will win.

With the balance of power shifting, the only one who can ultimately emerge victorious is Luo Yuan. It is precisely because of these two advantages that he has maintained a strong position in the battle, so he believes that he has the right to continue indefinitely. This is Luo Yuan's fighting style.

He can adapt to any situation and fight against any strong opponent. As long as the opponent's realm and strength are not much higher than Luo Yuan's, Luo Yuan will eventually be able to defeat or even eliminate them.

While watching Luo Yuan's battle with the martial arts universe expert from the stands, they clearly felt that Luo Yuan's fighting style was very simple, but the results he achieved were quite remarkable.

On the contrary, the special effects of the powerful fighter who was fighting Luo Yuan were very dazzling, but the damage he caused to Luo Yuan was negligible. So it felt more like a performance. As a result, the opponent consumed energy very quickly.

If Luo Yuan's original strength had not been strong enough, he might not have been able to last in the initial battle and would have been eliminated. However, Luo Yuan was able to steadily improve without any slackening. Therefore, as the battle between Luo Yuan and that powerful opponent lasted longer, Luo Yuan gradually began to take the initiative and suppress his opponent until the opponent's energy was depleted more and more.

This shocked and terrified the other party, because once his energy was completely exhausted, it meant that he was not qualified to participate in the next battle. It can be said that all the strong people who participated in this battle of geniuses knew very well that it would be very unwise to exhaust all their energy in a battle.

Even if they lose in battles against other strong individuals, they will still have the ability to challenge the remaining strong individuals. As long as they defeat their opponents, they will still be qualified to participate in the final battle. After all, there is definitely a big difference in strength between different geniuses.

If they were unlucky enough to encounter someone with considerable strength, they would likely have no choice but to surrender. Therefore, they would not fight to the end with a genius. However, Luo Yuan's strength and talent clearly put immense pressure on the opponent.

He could tell that Luo Yuan's strength far surpassed his own. Even compared to all the powerful figures present, Luo Yuan was ranked ahead. Therefore, this powerful figure from the martial arts universe directly conceded defeat, because he needed energy for the upcoming battle, and being completely eliminated here would be a huge loss.

Luo Yuan did not continue fighting this powerful figure, because he had already figured out all of the opponent's methods. He had even completely deduced how the opponent used these methods. In other words, if Luo Yuan went to the opponent's universe, he could raise his strength to a level similar to the opponent's in a very short time without using any of his own energy.

This is the effect that comes from having strong comprehension and control. Therefore, Luo Yuan also made things difficult for the strong opponent he was fighting. He won his second battle, and the fact that the opponent came from a different cultivation civilization than the previous one made Luo Yuan realize that other civilizations have different combat modes, which also made him very interested.

During the battle, Luo Yuan had come to fully understand that no matter how powerful the opponent's methods were, they were ultimately just using this energy to its limit.

Therefore, only the strong in different universes can fight each other, because in the end, no matter what kind of cultivation civilization, they all lead to the same goal. Their combat power can be compared with each other. After Luo Yuan won, he returned to the place where he had been resting. What surprised Luo Yuan was that the next battle was not the final battle, but a challenge match.

The so-called challenge match is where those talented and powerful individuals who lost in the previous two battles can now challenge any of the victors. If they defeat the opponent, they can obtain the original qualifications and rankings that the opponent originally possessed. However, when these powerful individuals who lost in the previous battles began to choose which victor to challenge, they all made a unified move, which was to directly bypass Luo Yuan.

This is because they could fully appreciate Luo Yuan's strength and how formidable he was during the battle. Even if their strength was similar to Luo Yuan's, they would likely be defeated if they encountered him in battle.

Because Luo Yuan can easily deal with any strong opponent he fights, and he can also master all the techniques used by his opponent. This can be said to be a very powerful technique, because Luo Yuan can grow rapidly in battle and surpass his opponent with extremely fast efficiency. Under such circumstances, who would dare to fight him? So if you choose Luo Yuan as your challenger, you are just asking for trouble.

Luo Yuan was quite pleased with the tact of these talented individuals. At least it saved him energy and prevented him from wasting time fighting them. Although, if Luo Yuan fought against powerful individuals from different civilizations, he could experience their fighting styles more firsthand.

This would allow him to improve, but he could also benefit from watching from the sidelines, though not as efficiently. The problem is that after two battles, Luo Yuan needs time to digest everything he has learned so that he can consolidate his strength.

Therefore, it wouldn't be very beneficial for him to fight too many strong opponents in a short period of time. Moreover, he believed that the strong opponents who would survive in the end would definitely be the most powerful, and the combat systems they cultivated would certainly be very good. Luo Yuan would also be able to gain more benefits from them.

So the so-called Genius Challenge began again. Although Luo Yuan learned something while watching the battles, he didn't reach a very high level. This was because the strong people participating in the challenge were basically those who had been eliminated in previous battles, so their strength was not as good as Luo Yuan had imagined.

Of course, these were undoubtedly incredibly powerful beings to other experts, but from Luo Yuan's perspective, they seemed quite ordinary. Therefore, Luo Yuan didn't feel particularly happy; in fact, he was somewhat disappointed. Fortunately, the battles between these experts were short, because they were well aware that if too much time was spent in battle, the energy consumed would reach an astonishing level.

In the end, Luo Yuan stopped paying attention to the battles between these powerful individuals and instead focused his mind on digesting the knowledge he had gained. He discovered that he could actually combine the combat techniques from three different universes to create an even more powerful secret technique for himself. Of course, there were no restrictions on the energy used; that is, the energy from all three universes could be used to drive it.

Luo Yuan thought this method was quite good, at least it made his choice of battle location less restricted, and he could even absorb the opponent's energy and convert it into his own Hunyuan power during the battle.

Therefore, even if Luo Yuan consumes too much energy in the following battle, he can absorb the opponent's energy to replenish his own. Of course, Luo Yuan believes that there must be quite a few strong people with this ability, otherwise how could they have persisted to the end in a battle arena where there is no energy?

The problem is that if Luo Yuan really encounters such a powerful opponent, then he will lose his corresponding advantage. Therefore, he is now learning this method in advance by drawing inferences from one instance to another. Even if he does not devour other people's energy, he can still resist others from devouring his energy.

Chapter 748, Part 1

Before he knew it, Luo Yuan realized that the challenge had ended. Although the strong people who participated in the challenge had been eliminated in the previous battles, they were actually quite strong. However, they were still far behind the most talented people.

However, for them, achieving a certain ranking in the final battle would bring more benefits, so they would not easily choose to back down. Luo Yuan had witnessed the strongest state that different universe powerhouses could reach after unleashing their trump cards. However, it was hard to say whether these powerhouses could truly hold out until the final battle.

However, Luo Yuan had no interest in these strong individuals participating in the challenge, as they were of no significance to him. His current focus was on the five remaining strong individuals, who would then have to fight to determine the final rankings.

What surprised Luo Yuan was that the final battle method was not one-on-one combat, but rather these strong individuals were placed on the same platform to engage in a free-for-all. The one who emerged victorious would become the first place winner, while the remaining rankings would be determined entirely by their performance in the battle.

The most interesting thing is that the final ranking is determined by the hidden creator god. Although none of the powerful beings in these universes have ever seen what the creator god looks like, they can sense the presence of the creator god at any time. Therefore, none of them dare to affect the overall situation of the battle.

Although the danger of having five powerful individuals fight each other is greater than that of a one-on-one battle, it also puts immense pressure on these individuals and tests their ability to react to danger. After all, in the various battles they will participate in in the future, it is impossible for their opponents to choose to fight them one-on-one.

In many situations, different powerful individuals are now employing a siege-like tactic. In such cases, a choice must be made. Of course, since these five powerful individuals are not from different universes, they certainly won't cooperate temporarily, as each of them wants to win the final first place.

In this situation, there is no trust between them, so they will fight without any scruples. Luo Yuan needs to defeat these strong individuals in the shortest time possible. This will not only allow him to obtain the first place ranking but also demonstrate his greater strength, thus qualifying him to participate in battles with other geniuses selected from the universe.

Luo Yuan believed that the more battles he participated in, and the stronger the opponents he fought, the greater the benefits he would receive. Although he didn't know exactly how many universes the creator god controlled, after continuous selection, those who survived would definitely become the creator god's sole inheritor.

If Luo Yuan could reach this level, he would have no problem cultivating until he became a Creator God. The main reason was that he wanted to obtain such a legacy. Luo Yuan knew very well that no matter how well he performed in the Infinite Chaos Space, it was impossible for him to come into contact with a Creator God-level legacy.

Even those powerful beings at the level of Hunyuan Lords could not possess it, let alone someone at his current level. Therefore, he must obtain a channel that allows him to continue to improve, which means he must gain the recognition of those powerful beings and eventually become their successor in order to have any chance of accessing such a high level.

In other words, the next battle requires not only victory but also the display of exceptional talent in order to be noticed by the Creator God. For the Creator God, what he truly values ​​is not the genius who wins the final battle, but whether they possess the talent and potential to inherit his legacy.

Many powerful individuals may possess considerable strength now, but that doesn't mean they will become even stronger in the future. This is because their growth potential is limited by their innate talent. In other words, as long as one possesses sufficient talent and potential, it doesn't matter if their current level isn't that high, because with enough time and resources, they will definitely be able to reach the corresponding level.

The problem is that if one's talent and potential are insufficient, then no matter how much one cultivates in the future, one can only reach a certain level and will not be able to improve further. Therefore, what true powerhouses care about is how high those geniuses can ultimately grow.

All those who have cultivated know one principle: hard work alone does not guarantee success, nor can it truly elevate one's realm to its peak. This is because talent is often more important than diligent practice. If one's innate talent is not strong enough, no matter how hard one practices, it is meaningless, as it is difficult to cross that chasm.

This is why Luo Yuan attaches great importance to the accumulation of these foundations during his growth process, because these are related to the level of talent and potential he can possess in the future. Only by raising each level of his realm to the limit and reaching the corresponding foundation according to the highest standards of the universe will he have a much greater chance of becoming a super strong person than other strong people.

Not all powerful individuals can be so focused during their cultivation, refining each level to their absolute limit. In particular, reaching the highest levels of difficulty set by the universe is extremely challenging because it requires fulfilling too many conditions. Many powerful individuals simply cannot meet these conditions and begin preparing for a breakthrough, as they cannot remain at one level for too long.

Therefore, many powerful individuals may appear to have a high cultivation level, but their actual combat strength is not that great. On the contrary, there are some genius-level experts who, despite not having a high cultivation level, possess strength far exceeding their current level. They can even turn the tables and eliminate those who are much more powerful than them.
