I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Chapter 825 Waiting

It can be said that all the martial artists living on this planet know about the Source Fruit, because this treasure is the most precious thing in the edge of the wilderness area. The cosmic energy contained in it is extremely powerful. However, most martial artists only use it to improve their cultivation level when they obtain it.

Luo Yuan felt that using only this method would be a waste of the Source Fruit, because the true effect of the Source Fruit, besides improving strength, could also build a stronger foundation for them, that is, enhance their innate abilities.

The reason Luo Yuan has such an effect is because it contains a unique power from the primordial power of this universe. This is the most important resource. Luo Yuan believes that if he can discover this, then the super strong beings living in this universe must also know it.

If this is indeed the case, then those who control this universe may have already enhanced their own resources by collecting this special energy. It is especially useful for cultivating outstanding geniuses, at least allowing their talents to be continuously improved on their original basis, reaching a very powerful level.

Because no matter how strong an individual is, their innate abilities are already fixed. Although they can develop these abilities by cultivating some powerful secret techniques, and their abilities may be improved, the premise for improvement is that their talent has a certain upper limit. Once the upper limit is reached, they can no longer truly improve.

Why is it that some people can cultivate the same secret technique very quickly and demonstrate great strength, while others cannot make any progress no matter what they do? This is because there is a huge difference in their talent and abilities. Those who can become super strong can be said to be beings with extremely strong talent and abilities.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to become a hegemon. But the problem is that if a special power in this universe can enhance a person's talent, that is, raise the upper limit of what they possess, it means there are infinite possibilities. Although the higher a person's innate talent, the more difficult it is for them to improve.

However, even a slight improvement can bring unexpected benefits. Therefore, Luo Yuan believes that if the powerful beings from other universes knew about the special nature of this universe, they would definitely try their best to seize it. Although Earth, where Luo Yuan originally lived, could improve the soul power of the people living there, it was only a very slight improvement.

After all, so far, there haven't been any truly outstanding individuals on Earth. Apart from those with protagonist luck, most people are just average. So even with the right environment, the gap can be huge. Luo Yuan was able to stand out simply because of the cheat code he possessed.

However, this universe is different, because whoever possesses the means to control and refine this special power can continuously improve their foundation, thus making themselves stronger. Of course, the prerequisite for truly mastering this special power is to have a very profound understanding and control of the power of laws.

Otherwise, even the most basic techniques would be difficult to use. However, to reach this level, one must be at least at the level of immortality. But Luo Yuan and others, who have already broken through to the level comparable to the creator god, are completely different. Even though his cultivation is currently sealed, he is not restricted in comprehending the laws of the universe.

Because of this advantage, he will be able to sense the difference in power in this universe. Therefore, if he can obtain more resources containing this special power, he can extract a large amount of the special power he needs. At that time, he can improve his foundation and go further in the future.

Luo Yuan's current talent is already very strong. It's only a matter of time before he becomes the controller of the universe. If he has the opportunity to become a ruler, it's also possible. However, there are definitely more powerful beings above the ruler level. Luo Yuan may not have the talent and potential to climb to a higher realm then.

After all, the universe Luo Yuan is currently in is only a fifth-level civilization. Above that, there are seven powerful dimensions. Luo Yuan can hardly imagine what kind of strength the beings in higher dimensions possess. Knowing the gap between himself and those people, Luo Yuan can truly calm down and cultivate diligently, because only in this way can he continuously become stronger.

Only when you know how vast the world is can you truly understand your own insignificance. Only then can you have a humble attitude to face anything. Therefore, Luo Yuan always knew the path he was on and cultivated steadfastly for it. Nothing could stop Luo Yuan's steps. Even if he encountered beautiful scenery along the way, he did not stop.

Luo Yuan knew that these views were only temporary. If he couldn't become stronger, he wouldn't be able to enjoy them forever. Only if he could reach the highest level of all the dimensional universes one day could he stop and properly appreciate the scenery of this universe.

Only then could Luo Yuan truly put his mind at ease, because at that time he would be the only invincible powerhouse. Before becoming an invincible powerhouse, Luo Yuan had to maintain a stable mindset, which is why he was able to achieve this level after learning more about the universe.

Now everyone has begun to move closer to the core area of ​​the due north region. Although they know there are many dangers involved, they know that they will have to pay a corresponding price to become stronger in the future. In this world, precious resources are few and far between.

Therefore, only by acquiring such a treasure through powerful strength and means can one continuously grow stronger. If one does not compete for it, one will ultimately obtain nothing. Relying entirely on oneself and cultivating in this way will not allow one to reach the highest level.

Just as a person's talent is so great, they will definitely need various resources and knowledge to inherit during the cultivation process. They cannot create it out of thin air on their own. This phenomenon is even more obvious for lone wolves, because they have no power behind them and have to rely on themselves for everything.

Therefore, even though these lone travelers know that this place is dangerous, they still have to come. If they don't fight and struggle, they will not gain any benefits and will find it difficult to improve their strength. In this way, the gap between them and those geniuses will only widen.

Those powerful individuals from strong forces possess formidable trump cards and various methods. Furthermore, their collective strength gives them a significant advantage in the competition for treasures. Now, let these individuals go to the core areas and engage in battles with the demonic beasts, allowing them to deplete the beasts' power.

Ultimately, the chances of obtaining the treasure are very small, but if there is any possibility of obtaining it, it would be very good. After all, this phenomenon has occurred before. Some powerful lone wolves have used this method of taking advantage of the chaos and have actually managed to seize some resources.

They used these resources to improve themselves and eventually become more powerful. Once their strength reached a certain level, they could create their own powerful forces or families. Then, they would have a high status and more resources, and no one would remember that they were once lone wolves.

Luo Yuan noticed that the number of golden fruits on the huge tree in front of him was actually very small, only five in total. According to the information he had gathered, just one of these fruits would be enough for them to break through their current realm and become true planetary-level martial artists.

However, this is just a very ordinary way to break through. Although it is more profound than the foundation of other strong people, it still cannot meet Luo Yuan's requirements. Luo Yuan felt that if he could obtain all five fruits and extract all the special power from them, he would be able to achieve his goal.

Using such power as material to break through his current realm, his strength will become even greater, and he will also become closer to the rules of this universe. The benefit of this is that once Luo Yuan becomes a strongman in this universe, he will have the opportunity to control these fundamental laws.

Once they are repaired, Luo Yuan will naturally become the true ruler of this universe. After his strength reaches the level of a creator god, if he wants to improve further, he must gain the recognition of the fundamental laws of the universe and be able to control such power.

Only in this way can one truly break through the current realm and use this power to shape a brand new divine body. Then, with continuous accumulation, one can eventually reach the realm of a universe controller or even a ruler. Therefore, such a high realm cannot be obtained entirely through one's own cultivation, because it involves a very high level, namely, the recognition of the will in the dimension.

Therefore, for powerful individuals like Luo Yuan, what they really need to do is to possess power that truly involves the rules of the universe. This is what is directly important for their future growth. As for the so-called local geniuses present, most of them haven't even reached the planetary level.

Therefore, they could not possibly have access to such advanced information, nor could they know the secrets contained within the rules of the universe. They were merely breaking through their own realms based on past experience. Luo Yuan believed that the super strong beings in this universe must have been constantly thinking about how to repair the destroyed fundamental laws.

However, they have not succeeded so far, which means they do not know the real method. Luo Yuan does not know how much special power they have expended for this, but since Luo Yuan has come here, he must try to control it around that tall tree.

The powerful figures from different factions are fighting against the demonic beasts. Their battle is not over yet, and it is even more intense than before. However, the commotion is not as strong as before because the area where they are fighting has become smaller.

Moreover, they are getting closer and closer to that big tree. If those powerful individuals really reach the foot of the tree, they could very well snatch those golden fruits in a short time. Then, it would be much easier for them to leave this place than when they came here to plunder before. These lone travelers who have been lying in wait outside...

Their only chance is to intercept these powerful figures from strong forces when they come out of here after they have obtained the fruits, and then snatch them from them. Only in this way can they truly achieve their goal. As for letting them directly participate in the battle between those demonic beasts and us, that is impossible.

Because their strength is not yet at that level, Luo Yuan also noticed these demonic beasts. Their strength is greater than that of human powerhouses, and there are even very powerful planetary-level demonic beasts among them. The combat power they form when they join forces is terrifying. Under such circumstances, human powerhouses can only cooperate temporarily, and only those from powerful forces have the potential to fight against them.

As for these lone wolves, anyone who dares to go in will likely end up with nothing and be killed on the spot. That's why powerful figures from different factions are willing to let these lone wolves from the outside join in and let them weaken the monsters.

The problem is that these monsters treat all humans, regardless of their origin or status, as equals and fight against them. However, these creatures are also quite intelligent and cannot be easily defeated. Even if these people offer various favorable conditions, they are merely empty promises.

They didn't actually gain any benefits. It would be ridiculous to expect them to work so hard without offering any tangible benefits. The reason they're here is not only because of their strength, but also because of the excellent salaries.

That's because after experiencing many things, they have seen through the wickedness of human nature. Under such circumstances, how could they be easily fooled? Luo Yuan originally planned to go directly to the area where those demonic beasts and powerful figures from different forces were fighting, and try to find a way to take all five fruits.

However, looking at their battle scene, Luo Yuan felt it was better to observe first, because if he entered, he might become an opponent of everyone, including the monsters, who would also attack him.

It would be almost impossible for Luo Yuan to snatch the fruit and leave under these circumstances. Besides, if he were really present, those powerful figures from different forces could take the fruit first, which would save Luo Yuan a lot of trouble. He could just snatch it from them, which would be enough.

These fruits are not so easy to use, nor can they be refined on the spot, because they need to be refined before they can be converted into absorbable energy. Therefore, Luo Yuan does not need to worry about any accidents. The only thing he needs to pay attention to now is which powerful person has taken the fruit. He can just have them mark it when the time comes.

He deliberately chose to strike, aiming to seize their treasures. As long as he could obtain these treasures, he could safely retreat. In terms of speed, Luo Yuan was arguably faster than everyone else present.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the number of demonic beasts and powerful figures from different factions had been decreasing as they fought, until there were less than twenty of them left. Luo Yuan felt that his opportunity had come, because for him, neither demonic beasts nor human experts could pose a threat to him anymore.

Chapter 826 Robbery

The current situation is very favorable to Luo Yuan, so there is no need for him to continue to lie low. He simply stepped out of the crowd and joined the battle. However, when Luo Yuan made his move, the lone wolves nearby also made their move. In their eyes, Luo Yuan was just like them.

Now, in their eagerness to seize the treasure from these people, they certainly won't care about such things. Even if they know these people come from a powerful force, they can't possibly hunt down so many of them. To ensure their own safety, they'll prioritize avoiding any unforeseen circumstances.

These lone travelers mostly wear masks to avoid revealing their identities to others. They are careful in their actions, and once they obtain a treasure, they leave immediately, hiding somewhere to consume it instead of taking it back with them.

So as long as they do a good job, they don't need to worry about others knowing that they were the ones who stole it. The lone wolves who can come here are all very strong. They are at least much stronger than most of the strong ones. Their combat experience and methods are both very good.

The powerful individuals who managed to escape from the core area, although raised under the tutelage of various powerful forces from a young age, possessing exceptional combat skills and valuable treasures, could not possibly escape unscathed from the attack of so many lone travelers.

Luo Yuan was the strongest among these lone travelers, which put immense pressure on the others. After all, there was already a great deal of competition among them. Currently, there are only five golden fruits in the northern region. Even if they are divided equally, they can only help five strong individuals break through their current realm.

Of course, it's hard to say whether it will ultimately succeed. After all, it's still a bit problematic to think that you can completely raise your strength to the planetary level with just one fruit. No one can guarantee that they will actually be able to break through in the end. But no matter what, they will definitely be much stronger than before.

Therefore, in order to become stronger, they were willing to pay the corresponding price, which is why they took action to seize it. Luo Yuan was the first to make a move, and his combat power was extremely strong. In the blink of an eye, he eliminated all the enemies in front of him and quickly approached the young man that these people were protecting.

Those who can obtain treasures and survive in the wilderness are either lone travelers or individuals from different factions. They often come with very powerful followers, which ensures their safety during their training.

It can also improve one's combat experience. Moreover, the strong people who can come here are generally quite young. This is because strong people below the planetary level are generally not too old. Otherwise, they would not be able to come here to take risks. Luo Yuan saw that the young man was a core member of a powerful force.

However, this powerful figure only came here to obtain the Source Fruit, which could help him improve his foundation and strength. It can be said that he had considered everything very thoroughly from beginning to end, and finally managed to snatch the Source Fruit. Although he lost many followers during the process of strengthening himself, he has now escaped the siege of the demonic beasts and finally left the core area.

So all they had to do was leave this place to truly and perfectly end this training. However, what these people didn't expect was that the lone wolves they usually looked down on were now attacking them one after another. This made these people very angry. In the eyes of those powerful figures from strong forces, lone wolves were a group of people without any foundation or background, but who always thought about improving their own strength by taking things from others.

These people are often very poor, but they are very powerful in combat, which causes great trouble for those strong people from good backgrounds. In fact, in addition to recruiting those outstanding lone wolves, the major forces also try to control and eliminate them.

The higher-ups of those forces also knew that it was impossible to completely eliminate the Lone Rangers unless all the ordinary people on the planet were wiped out. The existence of the Lone Rangers was a result of the unequal distribution of resources, and those powerful forces could not give up the benefits they had gained.

In order to obtain more resources, these forces even need to accept the strength of the lone wolves and do many things for them. The two are in conflict but also have a cooperative relationship. However, the core members of these forces have never really taken these lone wolves seriously.

In their eyes, these people were nothing but rats who would stop at nothing for profit. Since they were rats, they should have been hiding in the mountains. The fact that they were baring their teeth at them, who came from a powerful force, was nothing more than taking advantage of their vulnerability. However, they could not change the current situation, so they could only fight back.

However, their numbers were indeed too small, and they certainly had no chance of winning against so many lone travelers. At the critical moment, the young man took out something that looked like an iron ball from his body, with lightning power constantly flashing on it.

The lone travelers around them stopped in their tracks upon seeing this and instead stared warily at the young man. Anyone with even a little bit of nearsightedness would recognize this as a treasure known as a Thunderball, capable of causing immense damage even to planetary-level martial artists.

Although these lone travelers are also very fast, and they can dodge immediately when the young man throws out the lightning balls, now that so many of them are gathered together, their dodging space will be limited. So if the young man throws out a sufficient number of lightning balls, it will pose a corresponding threat to them to some extent.

Luo Yuan also took precautions, because he knew very well that the power of this lightning ball was actually very strong, and that lightning balls were also divided into different levels. The energy fluctuations emitted by the lightning ball in the young man's hand were even stronger than those he had seen before.

This lightning ball can also be seen as a special piece of equipment developed by the world's powerful beings. It can incorporate the power of lightning, so that when it is released, it can cause great destruction and have a huge impact on everything around it, including itself.

Therefore, it is not used lightly unless absolutely necessary, because it may not only harm the enemy, but also get involved. However, it is clear that these people are in a dead end now, so they no longer care about so much and simply use this most dangerous and most powerful treasure.

This at least makes the lone wolves around them who want to attack them think twice, and now a stalemate is basically maintained. However, the lone wolves are not willing to let go of such a good opportunity. They will not let these people leave here smoothly, even if these people have such powerful equipment. They will not be able to leave here.

After all, the golden fruit was incredibly attractive to the powerful individuals present. If they could possess just one, they could escape their current situation, break through their cultivation level, become true planetary-level powerhouses, gain a prestigious status and important cultivation resources, and then travel to the central region for training.

Therefore, when faced with significant interests, there are always people willing to try. Just as these people from powerful forces were preparing to escape the encirclement of these lone wolves using the lightning ball, suddenly some lone wolves launched an attack on them, and these were lone wolves that were extremely fast.

They believed that as long as they were fast enough, they could dodge the lightning balls even if these people threw them. As for whether it would affect other lone travelers around them, that was not their concern. As long as they broke the current balance, they could continuously deplete the opponent's limited equipment.

At that point, these people will have no advantage against them. As for how to distribute these golden fruits, it will depend on the strength of the participants. Moreover, if someone takes the initiative to make a move, the others will cleverly disperse immediately, not wanting to be involved, while also hoping to reap the benefits.

When Luo Yuan saw this, he was very smart. Like the lone wolves, he kept a certain distance from these core members. He was worried that if they stopped caring so much and threw out all the lightning balls in their hands, they would perish together with everyone around them, which would be extremely dangerous.

Since that's the case, Luo Yuan decided to do the same as the others and observe the current situation first. Letting the other lone wolves deplete the lightning orbs on the core members would be a good idea. However, the strength Luo Yuan had shown before made the other lone wolves very wary, and they had already turned Luo Yuan into a very powerful opponent.

Therefore, Luo Yuan could sense that several lone travelers were approaching him, seemingly looking for an opportunity to eliminate him first, and then plunder the treasures of those powerful individuals. These people were very thorough in their thinking, but they seriously underestimated Luo Yuan's true combat strength.

Luo Yuan has only shown a small portion of his strength so far, but even so, the other lone wolves have discovered his power and quickly joined in. The number of lone wolves trying to deplete the lightning orbs on the core members is increasing, as they want to resolve their current predicament as soon as possible.

Only by quickly seizing the golden fruit can they obtain the resources to improve their cultivation level, thus escaping their current social class sooner. Originally, there were many lone travelers surrounding the powerful figures from strong forces, posing a certain threat. However, with their numbers reduced, they can now quickly dodge.

This caused great trouble for those people. They couldn't just not fight back, so in order to teach these lone travelers a lesson, they had to throw out some of the lightning balls in their hands. However, the final result was that they did not cause much damage to these lone travelers.

Instead, it caused a lot of damage to the surrounding environment. The commotion was huge, but there was no real harm. Instead, the monsters in the core area were very angry. It seemed that the monsters wanted to run out and fight these human powerhouses.

However, even the monsters knew that what was truly important to them was not the golden fruit, but the enormous tree, because as long as the tree was not damaged, new fruit would grow after a period of time.

So if they run out now and those powerful humans find an opportunity to move all those trees away or destroy them, then the most precious treasures in this northern region will be lost forever, which is something these demonic beasts cannot accept.

In fact, the demonic beasts in the various regions on the periphery are required to contribute some source fruits to the powerful demonic beasts in the central region at fixed times. If they can save some, they can help them improve their cultivation level. In addition to placing a demonic beast that has reached the planetary level in these regions to guard them, other demonic beasts that have broken through to the planetary level must go to the central region.

This is not only an agreement reached among the monsters in the wilderness, but also a rule of the entire world, which forces them to do this, otherwise they will be punished. Without the existence of the Source Tree, these monsters will not only lose the possibility of breaking through their realms and growing, but will also be taught a lesson by the powerful monsters in the middle region, and it is even possible that they will be completely wiped out.

Despite the fact that these demonic beasts seem numerous and powerful in the peripheral areas, their cultivation levels remain below the planetary level, giving them no advantage when facing the powerful demonic beasts in the central and core regions.

Moreover, if these monsters disobey, they will not even have a chance to survive. Therefore, there is a huge gap between these monsters. Powerful monsters can obtain a lot of resources from these weak monsters without paying any price. The level gap between these monsters is very similar to that between humans.

That's because no matter what kind of environment they grow in, or what kind of race they belong to, as long as there is a difference in strength, a corresponding difference in level will be established. The powerful beings will always be able to occupy the best living environment, obtain more resources, and even command the weak beings to do things for them at any time.

If they disobey, they will be stripped of everything, including their lives. Although these humans sometimes try to steal the golden fruits that the monsters have waited so long to form, they won't stay here forever. So, for these monsters, humans are just people who occasionally come to steal a few more treasures, and they can't shake their foundation.

In this situation, even if they are very angry, they will not easily run out to participate in the battle. So when these humans come to these areas with treasures, as long as they can get out of the core area, they are basically free from the threat of the monsters.

Even if some scattered demonic beasts came out to attack them, their numbers were very small and their strength was not very strong. No matter how angry the demon gods in the core area roared, they could not pose a real threat to these human powerhouses, so they did not care.

Now, all they need to do is seize the treasure guns from these competitors, including the core members. If it weren't for the fact that these powerful individuals from strong forces possessed these powerful lightning ball equipment, they would have been wiped out by these lone wolves long ago. But judging from the current situation, it was only a matter of time.
