I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Instead, they continuously employed various investigative methods to try and understand each other's backgrounds. Only by understanding the relevant information could they know how to make their move and achieve final victory. However, after investigating each other, they came to no conclusions. This shows that they both had very good ways of concealing themselves.

In particular, Luo Yuan's current aura and fluctuations are very subtle. If one does not investigate carefully, one might mistake him for an ordinary creature. To be able to achieve this level of control over his own strength is a testament to his perfect level of control, perhaps even surpassing that of the burly man before him.

This forced the burly man to be cautious, so he deliberately launched several attacks from a distance, which were easily blocked by Luo Yuan. The two sides maintained a long distance between them and launched long-range attacks, displaying various powerful techniques that surprised the high-ranking officials present.

Because they had never seen such a combat mode before, it felt like fireworks were going off on the entire platform. Such a scene was not aesthetically pleasing at all, but it was very practical. At least for strong people who did not know each other, they could quickly learn about each other's methods in a short time, so that they could then engage in close combat.

Chapter 774 Perseverance

Although Luo Yuan and the burly man in front of him only conducted simple tests during their battle, they were both highly experienced fighters, so they were able to judge the general level of each other's strength from certain aspects.

First of all, there is definitely a big gap between Luo Yuan and this strong man's cultivation levels, but there was no obvious difference in their strength during the battle. This also shows that Luo Yuan has super strength far beyond his current level, although on the surface the battle did not seem as intense as before.

However, Luo Yuan discovered that each attack consumed significantly more energy than before in order to withstand all of the opponent's attacks. From this, he could conclude that his opponent was far stronger than any of the geniuses he had fought before.

After all, the battles between strong individuals are not judged by the appearance of their fighting, but by the ability to fully feel the power of the opponent's attack in each battle so as to be able to resist it. Moreover, the battles are based on actual combat, and the most important thing is to choose the most practical moves.

If one only thinks about showing off during the battle and displays some flashy but impractical moves, it is meaningless. The super strong people watching the battle can instantly judge the level of strength of those geniuses on the battlefield.

First of all, Luo Yuan's combat ability was very strong. He was not suppressed by the opponent, who was at the level of the Hunyuan Lord, at the beginning. This was very surprising to everyone present, because the difference in strength was there, and it would not be easy to make up for it.

However, Luo Yuan is now fighting against an opponent who is a whole realm higher than him. In the process of fighting, he has not fallen into a disadvantageous position. Moreover, his opponent used very powerful moves from the beginning, in order to break Luo Yuan's confidence in the shortest possible time. This is how he made Luo Yuan's will show signs of weakness.

For any strong person, they never thought of simply displaying their strength in a performance during the battle, because there is no need for that now. Everyone can clearly see what kind of methods they possess, and the most effective way is to achieve victory in the shortest time with the simplest moves.

Luo Yuan maintained his peak combat power. Even though he had consumed a lot of energy in his previous battles with other geniuses, it had no impact on his energy reserves. The genius who fought Luo Yuan had actually consumed a lot of energy in his previous battles with other Hunyuan lords.

Therefore, his energy reserves were actually less than Luo Yuan's. However, because his opponent had an advantage in cultivation, he wanted to defeat Luo Yuan as quickly as possible to achieve victory. Otherwise, if the battle dragged on, the strongman's energy reserves would be continuously depleted, and he would eventually be at a disadvantage.

The genius who fought Luo Yuan was particularly shocked, because at first he just thought that Luo Yuan's cultivation was not as high as his, and after such a long period of time, it was impossible for him to have such strong strength. Although being able to persist in a battlefield to the end showed that he himself was very strong.

However, it is not easy to persist and maintain the final victory. Many such battles of geniuses have been held in the past, and in most cases, the victory is achieved by geniuses at the level of Hunyuan Lord. After all, the gap in cultivation and strength is difficult to bridge unless the opponent's strength and talent are extremely high.

Such geniuses are rare, but Luo Yuan happens to be one of them, which makes the opponent very troublesome. This also explains why this battle is of such a large scale and why so many high-level people came to watch. It seems that some geniuses that are harder to find than before have appeared in this battle of geniuses.

However, the burly man in front of him was able to stand out among so many Hunyuan lords, so his strength and talent must be very strong. Moreover, he had been cultivating for much longer than Luo Yuan. Therefore, although he did not defeat Luo Yuan with truly powerful means at the beginning, the opponent was not too worried.

Because this opponent didn't know how much energy Luo Yuan actually possessed, he only felt that Luo Yuan was currently just consuming a lot of his own energy to resist. Such an ability could only be maintained for a very short time. If the fight continued like this, it would be very difficult for Luo Yuan to truly maintain his current ability indefinitely.

Because no powerful individual could possibly reach such a level, the difference in cultivation level is not only reflected in the difference in strength between the two parties, but also in various other abilities, such as combat methods, energy reserves, and the authority to borrow the power of the universe's rules.

Therefore, if a genius at the level of a Hunyuan Lord were to fight against a world-class Hunyuan genius, the former would definitely have a greater advantage. This is true in any place and in any era. There are no other exceptions, unless the talent and strength have been raised to an extremely high level, and then all of their abilities have been developed to far surpass those of a Hunyuan Lord.

Moreover, if such geniuses do emerge, they are often exceptionally talented. Even if they ultimately fail to become the successors of the universe's rulers, once they inherit the status of the creator god, they can quickly increase their strength and eventually become powerful beings second only to the universe's rulers.

Such geniuses often become the strongest force protecting the entire universe, and naturally their strength and status will be improved accordingly. Even if it is difficult for them to break through to a higher realm, they will still have a very high status in the entire universe and be able to enjoy a very high-class life.

No force dares to offend such powerful beings, because they are often more powerful than the creator gods, and in some ways even comparable to the controllers of the universe. Therefore, these super-powerful beings become the bridge between the creator gods and the controllers of the universe.

Because they are not usually responsible for managing the entire universe, but only appear when the universe is in crisis, they can mobilize the resources of the entire universe to help them cultivate. Moreover, they have enough time and resources to create new universes. Even if the chance of success is small, they can keep trying.

If they succeed, they will have a brighter future than the universe controllers. Therefore, even the universe controllers will be benevolent towards such beings, because these super geniuses actually have the talent and potential to break through and become even stronger.

It's just that because they hadn't cultivated for long enough and hadn't reached their limits in some areas, they didn't win in the battle of geniuses. Or perhaps they didn't gain the true recognition of the universe's controller and receive the corresponding inheritance. After all, there's only one spot for the universe's controller in the entire universe. It's not because the other party isn't excellent, but because the number of spots is limited, and only the most satisfactory one can be selected.

However, if such super geniuses can truly grow up, they still have a high probability of becoming even more powerful beings in the future. Therefore, such geniuses are often the super geniuses that the higher-ups of the universe hope to see appear, because such geniuses will not affect their future status.

They would not compete with them for the sole position of universe controller. On the contrary, they would be able to step in to protect us when we are affected by other universes. Of course, so far, the number of such geniuses is very small, but each one has grown to a very high level.

Luo Yuan is now highly regarded and favored by these high-ranking officials. Even if Luo Yuan fails to win the final battle and become the successor of the universe's controller, he will still gain the friendship of these creator gods and be provided with ample cultivation resources.

In other words, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, it will not pose any threat to the high-ranking officials present. However, they still have some expectations for the final result. In case Luo Yuan can defeat the opponent who is at the level of the Hunyuan Lord and may even become the successor of that universe controller.

If they could really do it, it would be like creating a new miracle. In the process of fighting that powerful person, Luo Yuan and that person had already tested each other's strength and then stopped holding back and went straight into close combat. Luo Yuan noticed that his opponent was quite strong in both ranged attacks and close combat.

After all, geniuses who make it to the end have virtually no weaknesses. So, during their cultivation, they have improved all aspects of themselves to an extremely high level. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to maintain such strength. Luo Yuan is also such a person. Therefore, during their battle, even though they were constantly fighting, they couldn't find any weaknesses in each other, so they couldn't defeat each other immediately.

Since they couldn't defeat their opponent at the beginning, and as the battle dragged on, they found that the difference in strength between the two sides wasn't that great, they eventually fell into a very attritional war. Logically speaking, Luo Yuan's strength should not be as great as this Hunyuan Lord, but the strength he displayed was no weaker than his opponent's. On the contrary, he even seemed to be able to suppress this Hunyuan Lord.

In other words, it seems that the relative strengths and positions of the two sides have been reversed. However, no genius is willing to force them to maintain this state for too long, because everyone knows that maintaining this state requires a lot of energy. So whether they can hold on until the end depends on the level of energy reserves that Luo Yuan has.

In fact, Luo Yuan had also thought about defeating his opponent in the shortest possible time so that this battle of geniuses could end. Then he could try to contact the universe controller and see if he could gain his recognition and finally obtain the inheritance. Even if he could not obtain the inheritance, he would have no regrets in the future, because he had done his best to get this far.

In the end, he wasn't too disappointed. As long as he had come this far, there wouldn't be any problems with his future growth. However, if he could inherit the legacy, his growth would definitely be faster. In fact, the difference in strength between the two was not as great as imagined. So, it all depended on whether they could persevere to the end.

This is actually more advantageous for you, because he can continuously grow stronger in the process of fighting. Moreover, he has already learned many powerful techniques from fighting with other geniuses. So if he were to fight against the most powerful genius at the level of the Hunyuan Lord, he would need to learn even more.

In this way, both combat experience and various abilities can be greatly improved. Luo Yuan has regarded this battle of geniuses as an opportunity to improve his strength, so he has stopped thinking about so many things and seriously fought against the strong person in front of him, and constantly learned and imitated the various methods the other party possessed.

Then, by calculating the power of the various rules that this method requires, Luo Yuan became stronger during the battle and was able to keep going, seemingly never getting weaker. However, Luo Yuan's performance shocked and frustrated the genius at the level of the Hunyuan Lord who was fighting him.

Because this powerful figure didn't know much about Luo Yuan before, he only felt that Luo Yuan must have consumed a lot of energy to have been able to persist until now. Even though he didn't show signs of fatigue immediately during the battle, as long as he could persist long enough, he was likely to be the one to win in the end.

This kind of situation was something that this powerful being at the level of a Hunyuan Lord had already simulated countless times in his mind. He came here because he was determined to obtain the ultimate inheritance of the universe's controller. Therefore, no matter how powerful the enemy was, he had to defeat them. This was the belief that had enabled him to persevere until now.

However, Luo Yuan's appearance greatly surprised him. This was because Luo Yuan's cultivation level was lower than his, but his combat ability was stronger. Moreover, he had persisted until now, and the energy he had consumed in such a long time was only more than his. If it were any of the other geniuses, they would have given up long ago, but Luo Yuan was able to persist until now and maintain his peak combat power.

What's most interesting is that Luo Yuan was able to learn continuously during the battle, and his abilities became stronger and stronger. This put a lot of pressure on this Hunyuan Lord-level powerhouse. Originally, he was the most advantageous genius in this battle, and many creator gods would pay close attention to him and give him some support. However, he did not expect to encounter such a situation when he came to the final battle.

However, there is no turning back now. He can only continue to persevere. No matter what the outcome, he cannot give up this battle. At least he must let the spectating creator gods see his efforts and strength. Moreover, Luo Yuan's appearance has completely shattered the basic understanding of this top genius at the level of Hunyuan Lord.

He was also eager to see just how far Luo Yuan could push himself to. As for whether he could ultimately defeat him and achieve final victory, there was no indication of that yet.

Chapter 775 Victory

This battle can actually be seen as the most exciting one in the peak universe genius battle, because the two geniuses who appeared this time have both raised their current strength and methods to the limit. The first one is Luo Yuan. Although his current cultivation has not yet reached the current limit, which is the level of Hunyuan Lord.

However, he possesses strength far exceeding that of ordinary Hunyuan Lords. In particular, his foundation and corresponding methods far surpass his current level. It can be said that his talent and strength are actually much stronger than all the geniuses who have appeared so far. The other genius is also very strong.

Moreover, he has already raised his cultivation level to the peak of the Hunyuan Lord level, which can be said to be the highest level among all geniuses. In addition, this genius is not only high in cultivation, but also has reached a very comprehensive level in various abilities.

That's why they were able to fight to the end and become the victors. But now, these two most outstanding geniuses are evenly matched in the battle. In fact, to some extent, Luo Yuan's strength and talent should be more outstanding and powerful than the other genius at the level of Hunyuan Lord.

The reason for this statement is that strength is often closely related to cultivation level. If someone can fight to such an extent when their cultivation level is lower than their enemy's, it fully demonstrates that their talent and potential are even greater. If Luo Yuan raises his cultivation level and becomes the Lord of Hunyuan, then the genius who is fighting against him will have no advantage whatsoever.

Therefore, all the high-ranking officials present had already determined the final result: Luo Yuan was the true victor. Even the genius who fought Luo Yuan was aware of this, but he would not give up so easily because the final result had not yet appeared. Although he knew that even if he could achieve victory, the final victory would not truly be valued by the universe's controller.

So the battle between the two continued. In fact, at the very beginning, the Lord of Hunyuan might have had the potential to defeat Luo Yuan. However, if he had been able to suppress Luo Yuan from the start and defeat him using the most powerful means, the battle might have ended.

Because in that case, Luo Yuan wouldn't have had a chance to show his true strength. But the problem is that Luo Yuan was able to withstand his opponent's strongest challenge and continued to learn during the battle, making himself even stronger.

In this situation, any intelligent person could see that as long as the battle continued, no matter what the final outcome, Luo Yuan would definitely gain the greatest benefit. This was because the universe's controller did not necessarily look at the final battle result when choosing a successor, but rather judged based on observing the performance of both individuals.

Moreover, even if he truly becomes the sole inheritor, he may not be able to truly acquire and comprehend the inheritance. Therefore, Luo Yuan can be said to be the one everyone hopes for, and no one doubts the final outcome. However, the Hunyuan Lord refuses to admit defeat and continues to fight.

Therefore, Luo Yuan did not immediately use his most powerful methods to defeat him. This was because Luo Yuan discovered that he could learn more from this powerful person. Only after mastering all of the opponent's abilities would he choose to defeat him and then proceed to the final stage.

Now it has completely become Luo Yuan's personal performance time, because he has been able to truly control his strength to a perfect degree. In addition, the other party can bring more help to Luo Yuan. Of course, this help is not what the other party wants to give, but because Luo Yuan has discovered that the other party's cultivation system is different from that of other geniuses.

The most obvious example is the genius who fought Luo Yuan. He was able to integrate several combat systems and transform them into a completely new combat system. This model is very similar to Luo Yuan's, except that Luo Yuan integrated more combat systems and always maintained his most essential combat mode.

So no problems arose. In addition, Luo Yuan has been constantly creating various powerful combat methods, which is why he has become stronger and stronger. However, the combat methods displayed by the opponent in the process of fighting are still somewhat simplistic. This is because when the opponent integrates other combat systems, he has not made up for his own essence and made it more perfect.

Luo Yuan felt that it was a chaotic system formed by fusing the most powerful abilities from different combat systems, which seemed very powerful but lacked a core. Therefore, such a combat system would negatively impact any future efforts to become stronger and go further.

Because he only focuses on the powerful strength he currently possesses. Any strong person will face a choice during the cultivation process: whether to learn the powerful inheritance left by those super strong people, or to create their own cultivation system that suits their own growth path.

However, it is definitely easier to learn from the cultivation systems that predecessors have possessed and created, and the cultivation speed is also very fast. At most, if you discover that the cultivation systems of other powerful people are more powerful during the cultivation process, you can then learn some of their abilities.

Finally, one develops their own combat style. However, if this system cannot be innovated after reaching its peak, and a combat system more suitable for one's growth path is developed, then the road ahead will become very difficult.

Therefore, such strong individuals are characterized by rapid growth and great strength, but once they reach a certain level, it becomes extremely difficult to break through. Another option is to create a combat system that suits them from the very beginning, but this method is very difficult.

Because they must fully understand themselves first, then integrate all the inheritances of other powerful individuals to a perfect degree before they can make further summaries and incorporate them into their own cultivation system. This is why such powerful individuals are slower in their growth than other powerful individuals.

However, their foundation is very solid, and if they receive more guidance and support from stronger individuals on their path to growth, their growth rate is also very fast. As long as they can keep going, there is basically no end in sight. Therefore, this can basically determine where the ultimate growth limit of a strong person is, which is the so-called potential performance.

The genius Luo Yuan is currently fighting represents a choice of cultivation system. It is clear that Luo Yuan has chosen to create his own powerful methods, while the other genius has chosen to completely learn the inheritance of other super strong people.

Therefore, for those in higher positions, what they value more is the level and realm that this genius can ultimately reach. The stronger the individual, the more important this is to them, because even if their strength does not reach the corresponding standard, it can be improved in a very short time, as long as the resources provided are sufficient.

Improving isn't actually that difficult, so the scene of Luo Yuan fighting that genius is no longer of any reference value. In the eyes of those higher-ups, this battle can actually be over now. Just as Luo Yuan had almost learned the opponent's abilities, a very solemn and deep voice suddenly appeared on the entire battle platform.

The voice conveyed only one meaning: this battle was over and there was no need to continue. Moreover, the ultimate victor was Luo Yuan. When this voice appeared, everyone present was shocked, and the Creators on the viewing platform were extremely excited.

Because this voice came from the sole controller of this universe, the supreme cosmic controller. Most of the powerful beings present had never heard the voice of this controller before, nor had they ever had the chance to contact him. The information they wanted to obtain was basically conveyed through the power of the universe's rules.

But now they could hear the voice of this cosmic ruler, so they were very excited and thrilled. In their eyes, this was the most powerful being in the entire universe, and he could decide their future. So when this cosmic ruler announced the final battle results...

Luo Yuan and the Hunyuan Lord who were fighting each other stopped fighting immediately. The genius who was a Hunyuan Lord showed a very disappointed and unwilling expression. However, he also knew that he was actually much worse than Luo Yuan, and there was no point in him continuing to fight.

However, this time, it was already very worthwhile for this genius at the level of Hunyuan Lord to be able to personally hear the voice of the universe controller and participate in such a magnificent battle of geniuses. At least this strong person persisted until the final competition, so he will actually gain a lot of benefits in the future, at least more glorious than most geniuses.

Therefore, this genius at the level of a Hunyuan Lord will be respected wherever he goes. After two beams of light appeared and enveloped Luo Yuan and the genius at the level of a Hunyuan Lord, there was no one left on the entire battle platform.

The creator gods looked at each other in bewilderment at the scene, unsure of what the universe controller would do next. However, one thing was certain: Luo Yuan would face the universe controller's final test. The creator gods did not leave, as they needed to know the final outcome.

However, they are also very much looking forward to it, wondering if Luo Yuan will succeed in the end, because the benefits that come with success are numerous. In particular, the creator god who took Luo Yuan as his successor is now extremely excited, because if this creator god can make contact with the universe controller through Luo Yuan...

Then the benefits he will gain in the future will be countless times greater than all the current creator gods. Moreover, if Luo Yuan can ultimately become the successor of the universe controller, then this creator god can cooperate with Luo Yuan. If Luo Yuan becomes the universe controller and breaks through his realm, it can be decided in advance that this creator god will be the successor of the next generation of universe controller.

So at the same time, the other creator gods extended olive branches to this lucky creator god. While they flattered each other, they also hoped to cooperate. Although it is still uncertain whether Luo Yuan can become the successor of the universe controller, one thing is certain: Luo Yuan's future prospects will be much higher than those of these creator gods.

Even if Luo Yuan cannot become the successor of the universe's controller, he can still become the protector of the entire universe in the future. Such a status would be even higher than that of the creator god, and he might even have the opportunity to break through and become an even more powerful being. Although creating a universe is a very difficult thing, what if Luo Yuan does it? Then it would mean that he would have a broader future than the universe's controller.

At that moment, as the light flashed, Luo Yuan found that his location had changed. He was originally on that very wide platform, but now he saw an incomparably magnificent palace. Of course, this palace was very vast, and not far away there was a high platform, on which sat a very kind-looking old man.

Luo Yuan couldn't sense any fluctuations in aura from the old man, not even the sharp pressure that a strong person should exude. However, Luo Yuan dared not underestimate the old man in front of him, because the fact that the old man was here meant that his identity was extraordinary.

Perhaps this old man is the legendary controller of the universe. After all, Luo Yuan had encountered a similar scene before. When he met the creator god, it was also a simple and unadorned scene. Moreover, Luo Yuan found that the higher the cultivation level of the powerful beings, the more ordinary they appeared. This was actually a change in mindset, because after reaching their level, their understanding of the universe was far superior to that of other powerful beings.

Therefore, they are able to clearly understand their own position and their place in the universe, which makes them more humble and cautious. Only those who are arrogant and ignorant would think they are very good and look down on others.

Soon, the old man contacted and communicated with Luo Yuan. The whole process was very peaceful, just like a very simple chat. Through the chat, Luo Yuan learned that the old man was indeed the controller of the universe. However, Luo Yuan could not know or sense how powerful he was.

After all, the rules of the entire universe are completely under the control of this old man. He can even recreate entirely new rules of the universe according to his own will. In other words, the entire universe, including all the powerful beings within it, is nothing more than an object that can be manipulated at will in the eyes of this old man.

No matter how powerful one is, no one can resist this old man, because the rules are above all else. All the strong beings living in the universe have their power derived from the rules. It is impossible for them to completely break free from the restrictions of the rules. In fact, the old man in front of them can directly strip away all the power that any strong person has cultivated.

When facing an invincible powerhouse, one must maintain a respectful attitude and be careful. It is best to be mindful of one's words and actions. Luo Yuan did this very well, which pleased the old man greatly. He felt that this young man was very sensible, and that even if he were to give up his position as successor to this young man, it would not pose much of a threat to him.
