I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

In essence, this is due to the vast difference in the foundation they have reached during their cultivation. Luo Yuan is in this situation. Even before he truly broke through to the True God level, he was already able to eliminate True God-level powerhouses.

Moreover, Luo Yuan has only just broken through to the advanced Hunyuan level, yet he is already able to defeat a world-class Hunyuan expert. In short, this shows the extent of Luo Yuan's current foundation. The next moment can be said to be the final battle, because there are only five of the most powerful geniuses on the entire stage, and they come from different universes.

Therefore, this battle attracted the attention of all the spectators around. They were eager to see what kind of methods these strongest fighters would use in the melee, and their main focus was on who would win the final first place.

Only the strongest among the top-ranked individuals are qualified to participate in battles against other outstanding individuals selected from various universes. Furthermore, only the strongest individual who ultimately achieves victory is qualified to receive the legacy of the Creator God. However, this is not absolute, as the legacy of the Creator God is extremely powerful and has even higher requirements.

Therefore, if one cannot fully inherit it, one will ultimately fail. This is why the Creator God holds battles between the geniuses selected from these universes at fixed times. It can be said that before Luo Yuan arrived in the Infinite Chaos Space, these so-called great universes had already begun to engage in many battles between different great universes in order to truly select a successor for the Creator God.

However, until now, no peerless genius has emerged who can truly inherit the legacy of that creator god. Therefore, even if one wins all the battles, one only gains the qualification to receive the legacy of that creator god. Whether one can ultimately succeed still depends on whether the other party can meet the final requirements.

However, although the requirements are very high, the benefits of passing them are immense. Even just obtaining the qualification would attract countless geniuses and powerful individuals to fight for the chance to break through to the level of a Creator God. Such an opportunity is extremely rare and precious, even for those powerful individuals at the level of Chaos Lord.

They all yearn for what is unattainable. The reason for this is that those powerful beings at the level of the Primordial Lords had actually participated in such battles of geniuses long ago, but they ultimately did not become the true successors of that Creator God. From this, we can see how high the requirements of that Creator God were for his successors.

Those powerful beings at the level of Hunyuan Lord, after losing the qualification to receive the inheritance of the Creator God, can only rely on their own hard work to cultivate until they reach the peak level of Hunyuan Lord, and then see if they can have the opportunity to break through to the level of the Creator God.

Although such an opportunity is extremely slim, they cannot remain at their current level indefinitely. This is to make themselves stronger and to see what the wider universe is like, so they keep striving. However, for all the geniuses, it is very fortunate that they can participate in this battle.

However, they only have this one chance. If they cannot achieve final victory, they will not even have the qualification to receive the inheritance of the creator god. Under such circumstances, countless powerful individuals can only continuously cultivate and fight in order to have the opportunity to come into contact with that higher realm.

As Luo Yuan continued fighting, he noticed a very interesting phenomenon: the powerful beings from other universes he was fighting seemed to be very wary of him. This made Luo Yuan realize that his previous two battles had made these five powerful beings very apprehensive.

In fact, the strong individuals who fought against Luo Yuan before were quite powerful. At least the five remaining strong individuals are roughly the same strength as those who were defeated by Luo Yuan. The reason they were able to persist until the final battle is because they possess some secret techniques that can suddenly enhance their strength, and they did not encounter an existence as powerful as Luo Yuan. Otherwise, they would have been defeated long ago during the battle.

In fact, we can tell from the attitudes of the other four powerful figures towards Luo Yuan that Luo Yuan's strength is indeed much greater than theirs. In the end, there is no need for comparison to know that Luo Yuan will definitely be the winner. However, these powerful figures are unwilling to admit defeat so easily, so they still need to engage in a battle so that they will have no regrets.

It's safe to say that these powerful individuals no longer consider the first place, but they will definitely have to fight to determine the next ranking, because only in this way can they gain greater benefits. Since there are more powerful individuals fighting Luo Yuan than before, he no longer holds back his fighting strength as before.

Instead, he directly unleashed a group attack, employing powerful techniques powered by mental energy. Luo Yuan already had a very clear understanding of these experts' methods, and could even use their corresponding techniques to suppress them. Therefore, it would be very easy for Luo Yuan to defeat these experts.

Therefore, after Luo Yuan used various powerful methods, he quickly achieved victory and defeated all four geniuses. He then easily won first place. However, Luo Yuan also knew that the next step was for the remaining experts to fight, as they needed to gain more benefits for themselves through such battles.

Luo Yuan would definitely not continue to interfere in their battle. In the end, Luo Yuan simply chose to watch the battle between these powerful individuals from the sidelines, because he had already achieved the corresponding ranking and there was no need for him to continue fighting. However, this battle was not over.

Therefore, he could not leave immediately. Without Luo Yuan's participation, the battles between these powerful individuals became even more intense than before. They had fewer concerns because without Luo Yuan suppressing them, they naturally had to demonstrate even stronger combat skills in order to obtain a higher ranking.

Because these powerful individuals are actually quite evenly matched in combat, their current strength appears much greater than before. This is because they are now evenly matched, which naturally makes their battles very exciting.

On the contrary, Luo Yuan consistently suppressed these powerful figures during their battles, preventing them from displaying their true strength. This resulted in a rather ordinary viewing experience for the audience, and only those with strength at the Hunyuan World level or above could discern some of the intricacies in the process.

They could clearly see how powerful Luo Yuan's methods were. Although they didn't seem to have many special effects, they were just very simple moves, yet they were enough to make the other powerful people present unable to resist. This showed that the power contained in each of Luo Yuan's moves was extremely strong.

Luo Yuan had to admit that these powerful individuals who were able to persist until the final battle were indeed quite strong. However, they lacked agile fighting styles. Luo Yuan could guess the specific reason from this: these powerful individuals had likely cultivated very powerful secret techniques.

However, they merely followed the instructions verbatim without truly understanding or creating powerful methods suitable for their own cultivation. As a result, when they used other people's secret techniques, they always lacked a certain rhythm, which made them hesitate and unable to fully control their actions.

However, all the techniques Luo Yuan used were created by himself and had no problems. In addition, the inheritance he received was high enough, so he was able to crush the strong people from other universes in every aspect.

Chapter 749 Rules

No one was surprised that Luo Yuan achieved first place in this battle of geniuses, because in their view, Luo Yuan was able to achieve such a result because he was very strong and much stronger than these geniuses.

Most importantly, Luo Yuan's talents and skills have reached their peak. In particular, during his battles with powerful figures from different universes, he was able to instantly control their various techniques and even turn the tables on them.

Therefore, no matter how strong or how strange their methods were, they could not defeat Luo Yuan. In the end, they were completely suppressed and defeated by Luo Yuan. Next, the higher-ups announced the final rankings of this battle of geniuses. It was beyond doubt that Luo Yuan won first place, and it was also what everyone expected.

Luo Yuan naturally gained a great deal of benefits, including precious cultivation resources and treasures that appeared to be of a very high level. For powerful individuals from other universes, obtaining these treasures would be quite difficult, not to mention that some of these treasures possessed exceptional special abilities.

For example, treasures that could quickly enhance Luo Yuan's Hunyuan power, or treasures that could help Luo Yuan strengthen the various powerful techniques he currently possesses. However, after the battle ended, the top three geniuses did not leave immediately. They were all enveloped by a powerful force and then teleported to a very vast platform.

When Luo Yuan and his two companions appeared on the platform, they saw that a large number of powerful individuals had already gathered there. Moreover, these powerful individuals seemed to be of similar cultivation levels and ages to Luo Yuan and his companions, and the aura emanating from them was extremely strong.

This surprised Luo Yuan and the others, but soon a message was transmitted to their minds. Sure enough, after they had participated in this battle of geniuses, the real battle was about to begin, because this was the real purpose of their selection to participate in the battle.

The purpose is to enable them to fight against the most outstanding geniuses selected from the other universes. Only when the most outstanding person among them is chosen can this battle be considered over, and the genius who can continue until the very end will be the one who can ultimately become the inheritor of the Creator God.

Naturally, they would then be able to reap the greatest benefits. In other words, this battle of geniuses was not just held between ten universes, but between all the great universes under the control of that creator god. This made these geniuses understand why there was such a massive battle of geniuses. It turned out that the creator god was once again choosing his sole successor.

The requirements are certainly very high. The geniuses who are ultimately selected are the most outstanding in terms of strength and talent from all universes. However, this does not mean that they will be able to obtain the final benefits. Only the geniuses who can still obtain the top three spots after each selection can participate in the next test.

So as long as they can pass the test, the benefits they will receive will definitely be greater. Even if these geniuses ultimately fail to become the number one and obtain the inheritance of that creator god, the benefits they receive will still be enough to allow them to cultivate until they reach the level of the Primordial Lord.

Originally, Luo Yuan and his group thought that this battle was over, but they didn't expect that they would have to fight against even more geniuses. They were actually very excited because this meant that they would come into contact with more powerful people. After all, they originally thought that the battles between geniuses from different universes were not very interesting.

This is because they were already very strong, so although there was a slight difference between them in this battle, the difference was not very obvious, and they were not particularly excited after winning the battle together.

However, only Luo Yuan was able to maintain a basic level of calm. This was because he had already made some guesses. After all, he had some understanding of the framework of the entire universe, so he was able to guess some things. According to the information he had obtained, he had found it strange before, because the Genius Battle was only held between a very small number of universes.

However, the scale of this genius battle is much larger than before. Coupled with the situation revealed by various information, it is enough to show that this genius battle is very different from the past. Therefore, Luo Yuan was able to deduce that something might have happened to the creator god, so he needed to select a successor who could truly inherit everything from him in a short period of time.

In fact, for these geniuses and powerful individuals, whatever happened to the creator god would not be of any harm to them. The most important thing is that they can break through and become the creator god's successor and have the opportunity. All the powerful individuals understand one thing: they want to break through and become a higher level of existence.

It's impossible to reach that level through cultivation alone; one needs a corresponding inheritance and treasures to achieve it. Otherwise, why are there so many powerful beings of the Primordial Chaos realm in the vast universe, yet none have been able to truly meet the requirements of that creator god and become his successor?

Even those powerful beings at the level of Hunyuan Lords, although they are top overlords in their respective universes, the problem is that they can never escape the limitations of their universe. Therefore, they cannot access a wider world, and they cannot achieve greater strength and status.

These geniuses, although they haven't reached the strength and realm of a Hunyuan Lord yet, possess talent and potential that demonstrate their ability to break through to become a Hunyuan Lord. Their talent surpasses that of Hunyuan Lord-level experts, which is why they have more opportunities.

However, it is extremely difficult to stand out from so many geniuses, because even if they have the potential to become a Hunyuan Lord-level powerhouse, it does not mean that they have the potential and talent to become a Creator God. After all, the strength and status of the Creator God far exceed those Hunyuan Lords.

It can be said that in the eyes of that creator god, the so-called Hunyuan lords are nothing but ants. Therefore, such an opportunity is something that any Hunyuan powerhouse would covet, but they have no chance to obtain it because they have already missed such an opportunity.

Therefore, the only option is to cultivate diligently on one's own to see if one can break through such limitations and thus become a creator god. Although the possibility of this is very small, it is not entirely hopeless. After all, the current creator god has reached this level through his own cultivation. If there is no subsequent inheritance, it is impossible to break through the current level.

Does that mean all those creator gods were able to break through their realms by obtaining the inheritance left behind by other creator gods? That's completely impossible. It's just that after obtaining the inheritance of a creator god, both breaking through to that realm and the cultivation process are easier and the chances of success are greater than for other powerful beings.

That's why so many strong people pursue it. But one thing is certain: those who reach such a high level entirely through their own cultivation will be stronger than those who break through by receiving a legacy, whether in terms of talent, combat experience, or even mental state.

Those who can emerge from the most dangerous and difficult situations and climb to the top are all great and powerful beings. Therefore, their deeds are remembered by all the strong and appear in so-called history, not only because they are very outstanding, but also because their numbers are very small and the probability is too low.

Therefore, reaching such a height is extremely precious and difficult to replicate. It is precisely because of the existence of such a very small number of strong individuals that later strong individuals are inspired to continuously strive and cultivate, hoping to reach the same height, even though they know that the hope is very slim.

But at least it gives them a direction to move forward. However, Luo Yuan is also very clear that although he has very strong talent and foundation, it does not mean that he will have the opportunity and possibility to break through and become a creator god. Under such circumstances, Luo Yuan feels that it is safest to try to obtain the inheritance of those creator gods.

Moreover, what Luo Yuan truly values ​​is the experience and powerful secret techniques left behind by these creator gods during their cultivation process. Since embarking on the path of the strong, Luo Yuan has not cultivated any other secret techniques left behind by others, because he regards the secret techniques of others as materials for his own reference.

Thus, he created many secret techniques suitable for his own cultivation. Luo Yuan's behavior was actually very difficult to do, because the difficulty of creating those high-level secret techniques far exceeded the difficulty of cultivating the secret techniques left by others. The more powerful the secret techniques left by the strong, the more difficult they must be to cultivate.

Therefore, it would be extremely difficult for Luo Yuan to master it, and it would even take a lot of time. However, it would be even more difficult to create a secret technique suitable for his own cultivation based on this, because the prerequisite for creating a secret technique is that he must fully comprehend and master the secret techniques of others.

Only after reaching this level can one apply it. Otherwise, if one does not have a clear understanding of other people's secret techniques, how can one possibly extract the best elements and incorporate them into one's own cultivation system? However, Luo Yuan was able to do this, not only because he possessed very strong comprehension.

Furthermore, he has already learned from the inheritances left by many powerful figures, thus creating some secret techniques most suitable for his own cultivation. Under these circumstances, Luo Yuan has been able to grow to his current level, and his cultivation speed and strength are very powerful. However, Luo Yuan also knows that without the secret techniques of subsequent powerful figures as a reference, it would be very difficult to deduce and create those high-level secret techniques on his own.

Because all the secret techniques were developed by countless powerful individuals through long years of experimentation and summarization, it can be said that they are the purest and greatest thoughts that many powerful individuals have preserved. Luo Yuan never thought that he could create a more powerful secret technique than the one created by the joint efforts of these countless powerful individuals in a short period of time.

This would not only waste a lot of his time, but also, if any unexpected events occurred during the time it took to create the secret technique, he would likely encounter many situations that would be difficult for him to handle, especially since Luo Yuan urgently needed to improve his realm and strength.

If he were to waste all his time on creating secret techniques, he would be in a very passive situation. After all, Luo Yuan's current environment is extremely dangerous. They often have to participate in battles with other powerful beings from other universes, and there is always the possibility of them dying. Therefore, Luo Yuan does not have much time to research and create more advanced secret techniques on his own.

Especially without the guidance of a super strong expert, relying entirely on one's own blind deduction could very well lead to the wrong path. This would mean that all the achievements Luo Yuan has made in his cultivation would vanish into nothingness, which would be extremely difficult to accept. Luo Yuan also doesn't know how the other Hunyuan experts will digest the inheritance left behind by higher-level experts.

However, Luo Yuan used it as the most basic data for his deduction and improvement of cultivation techniques. At the same time, by participating in this battle of geniuses, Luo Yuan could also observe the various powerful techniques and systems cultivated by other universe powerhouses during the continuous battles.

In this way, he could collect all their information into the data he controlled, which would allow him to deduce a more suitable path for his cultivation. This was very enlightening for him. Although Luo Yuan did not obtain any information about the Creator God, he was still able to draw some very useful conclusions from the few fragments of records he obtained.

The creator gods are no longer confined to their own universe, nor are they restricted by any so-called cultivation system. They can use any means they want to use, which means that all cultivation systems are meaningless to the creator gods, because all their methods will eventually be reduced to the simplest and most basic moves.

Moreover, in the process of using their power, they can directly exert the level that only rules can achieve. In other words, every move they make carries the power of rules. That is to say, they themselves are the rules. Only the rules themselves can defeat the rules. This is a universal principle. Moreover, these so-called rules are definitely higher than the supreme rules.

In reality, the so-called supreme rules are just names given by the powerful beings living in the vast universe. In the eyes of those creator gods, these so-called supreme rules are only capable of controlling small planes like the source world. The scope of their use of these supreme rules is very limited. Once they exceed the source universe, it is difficult to exert their effects.

The higher the universe, the stronger the power of the rules, and the wider the scope of application. They can also control more powerful beings. Therefore, the so-called supreme rules that Luo Yuan mentioned before are basically ineffective in spaces above the level of the great universe, and cannot even play any role.

Chapter 750 The True Battle of Geniuses

The number of geniuses and powerhouses gathered this time is so large that Luo Yuan can no longer determine exactly how many geniuses and powerhouses from various universes have gathered here. According to the information Luo Yuan has collected, no one knows how many of these interconnected universes there are so far.

Luo Yuan only knew that all these great universes had a common manager, namely the very mysterious creator god.

Only by becoming the inheritor of the Creator God could one truly meet such a legendary powerhouse. Luo Yuan only knew that the Creator God possessed supreme power and could create any universe entirely at will. In fact, this was the same ability as those Hunyuan powerhouses in the universe.

Because of these Hunyuan powerhouses, they can also create a source world according to their own understanding and control of the rules. However, the scale of the source world is definitely not as large as that of the great universe, because any great universe contains countless source worlds. However, the great universe may have an existence similar to the infinite Hunyuan space, because it is a place where all the Hunyuan powerhouses in all the source worlds are gathered together.

However, even powerful beings at the level of Hunyuan Lords could not create a vast universe. Only the Creator God has such ability and authority. Since arriving in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, Luo Yuan has been able to clearly sense that all the Hunyuan powerhouses here can break free from the constraints of the supreme rules and even control them.

However, after Luo Yuan came into contact with a higher being, he realized that the so-called supreme rules were only limited to the source world. If he encountered a more powerful being, he could completely destroy or reconstruct the supreme rules into the form he desired.

This also fully demonstrates that there are even more powerful beings above the Hunyuan level. Therefore, the end of cultivation has not reached the level that Luo Yuan imagined. He still needs to continue to explore in order to become stronger. This time, the largest-scale selection competition for inheritors held by the Creator God is a very good opportunity for geniuses like Luo Yuan.

Basically, the top three geniuses who stand out from every ten universes possess immense strength. However, if all these powerful individuals are brought together again, it will be a selection process from the best of the best. Only the one who ultimately achieves first place will have the potential to become the true inheritor of the Creator God.

Therefore, when these powerful individuals learned of this information, they were all very excited. These talented individuals present had not cultivated for very long, and they also possessed very high aspirations. Moreover, their talents and potential were extremely strong. Under these circumstances, even though they knew that there were higher realms and difficulties ahead of them, they still did not feel any fear.

On the contrary, they would be very happy and even work hard for it. This is because they are still young and have a great desire to make achievements in the future. It is precisely because of this fighting spirit that they can become the targets that those peerless experts truly value.

On the contrary, some veteran powerhouses who have cultivated for a long time have gone through various difficulties and setbacks. They have begun to focus on ensuring their own safety and stability. When they encounter difficulties, they will consider the gains and losses and will not make blind choices. Therefore, under such circumstances, they have lost their strong ambition.

Now, with the increasing number of geniuses and powerful individuals emerging, some information appeared in the minds of all the geniuses after a while. This information was clearly sent directly to them by the creator god, with the purpose of helping them adapt to the current environment as quickly as possible.

After all, so many geniuses were gathered here not just to watch the show, but to participate in the upcoming talent selection battle. Only the most outstanding talent could become the final victor. Under these circumstances, all the geniuses carefully read the information they received and quickly understood.

The rules for this selection competition are quite different from those of previous selection competitions. Because there are so many geniuses, it is impossible to let them fight one-on-one. This would waste a lot of time and would also lead to some talented individuals being eliminated first due to a large gap in strength.

So the creator god simply gathered all these geniuses together and divided them into ten battlefields, then let them fight each other. Only those who emerged victorious could proceed to the final battle. It can be said that the selection method was extremely cruel, and there was no requirement that no one could perish during the battle.

However, each of these geniuses is an extremely precious existence. If they were to return to their own universes, they would be qualified to become powerful beings at the level of Hunyuan Lords. Therefore, each of these geniuses is the most precious existence in their respective universes and is also an unparalleled existence that many powerful beings have placed other expectations on.

The problem is that these powerful individuals are not of much value in the eyes of that creator god, because only the sole inheritor selected in the end will truly be valued by that creator god. Whether they are powerful individuals at the level of Hunyuan Lords in different universes or those who have shown outstanding talent in the Genius Battle, they are actually no different. In the eyes of that creator god, those who cannot become inheritors are useless.

Moreover, even the creator god could not take care of so many aspects. As for what changes would occur in those great universes after the loss of these geniuses and powerful individuals, it was completely outside the creator god's consideration. After all, there were simply too many of these great universes, and the number of life forms within them was countless. Under such circumstances, as long as there were long years of evolution, even more geniuses and powerful individuals would surely emerge.

Therefore, for that creator god, so-called geniuses can actually be selected within a certain period of time. This is why he would launch such a large-scale battle of geniuses within a fixed time. If these great universes cannot select a successor for him, then these great universes have no value in existing.

After all, once a powerful being reaches a peak, all they care about is whether they can further improve and become even stronger. Everything else is of little value. Under such circumstances, it is completely impossible for the creator god to have any sympathy for these powerful beings in the universe.

In fact, these rules reveal the creator god's indifferent attitude towards the life forms in the universe. After all, super strong beings who have survived to this day and reached such a level have experienced a great deal, so their considerations must be completely different from those of ordinary strong beings.

Luo Yuan never thought he would be the one to stand out among so many geniuses, but in order to obtain the ultimate inheritance of the Creator God, he would work very hard to participate in battles until he reached his limit. Of course, all of this was on the premise that he could survive.

After all, it would be completely unwise to risk one's life just to participate in this battle in order to fulfill the original purpose of that creator god. Although Luo Yuan felt that if he could obtain a higher-level inheritance, it would be easier for him to improve his realm and strength, it did not mean that he had to rely on such an inheritance to reach that level.

Therefore, for Luo Yuan, it would certainly be good if he could obtain the final inheritance. However, if he encountered a situation that threatened his life, he would not hesitate to retreat and leave this place, because only in this way could he truly achieve the desired effect. Therefore, his current mentality is completely different from that of many of the powerful figures present.

After all, many geniuses have regarded this inheritance as the only and necessary achievement on their life's path. However, Luo Yuan has no such thoughts at all, because he himself has the talent and potential to break through to a higher realm. Therefore, he has no worries about whether he can eventually become the creator god. As long as he is given enough time, he believes that he will definitely be able to reach such a height in the process of constantly deducing and becoming stronger.
