I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Time flew by, and the only piece of equipment these powerful individuals from strong forces possessed that gave them the strongest combat power—the seemingly ordinary lightning ball—was ultimately completely used up. It wasn't that these people were willing to waste such powerful equipment here, but rather that the situation they were facing was extremely complex.

If they hadn't used the lightning orb, they would likely have all perished here. Using the lightning orb gave them the potential to change the course of the battle. However, they underestimated these lone travelers. The fact that these lone travelers were able to come all the way here and fight those monsters to reach the core area showed that they were extremely powerful.

They are much stronger than most martial artists. Even though the strong people here have many tricks up their sleeves, they have already exhausted their energy and resources from the previous battles. On the other hand, the lone warriors can basically maintain their peak combat power, so they will definitely not hold back once they make their move.

The current situation is not surprising. Luo Yuan has shown the strongest strength among these lone wolves. However, although they regard Luo Yuan as their biggest rival, they do not have a good way to deal with him.

The most important thing for everyone to do now is to eliminate these powerful individuals from strong forces and take the golden fruit with its immense energy from them. Luo Yuan also noticed that these people no longer had any treasures that could threaten him, so he accelerated the speed of his attack.

Soon, all the guards around the young man were eliminated, and Luo Yuan also obtained the two golden fruits. However, there were still three golden fruits that he did not get his hands on. This was because there were also powerful individuals among the other lone travelers. Some of them each obtained one, and the young man held the last one, which contained the most energy.

Luo Yuan's goal was to obtain all the fruits, so he directly marked the two lone travelers who had obtained the fruits. This method was unique to him because he could use mental power to locate and mark a powerful individual. This way, no matter where the powerful individual went, Luo Yuan could sense their location.

Then they would lock onto them and eliminate them. Therefore, Luo Yuan was not in a hurry to get anything from the two lone travelers, because their common enemy was that young man. It was obvious that the young man was extraordinary and was likely a core member of a powerful force.

If he escapes from here, he will definitely spread the news. Whether it's the forces behind this young man or other lone wolves, they might all come after Luo Yuan and his group. Therefore, we must eliminate this young man here. These lone wolves are very powerful, but they have no powerful backers.

Even with some disguise, it's impossible to fool everyone. After all, everyone is gathered here, and there's a high chance of revealing some flaws. So, to ensure their safety, they must eliminate all threats in advance. However, there must be significant conflicts among the lone travelers.

If one of these lone travelers were captured by other forces, they might obtain information about this place, but not in great detail. These lone travelers knew very well that if they told those forces about this place, they would not gain anything in the end.

In fact, Luo Yuan's ideas were more comprehensive than those of the lone travelers, because he noticed that the number of lone travelers who could come to this core area was not large, and there would not be more than a hundred people in total. After they eliminated this young man, the lone travelers would also fight for the golden fruit.

However, this was entirely within Luo Yuan's expectations, because he would not only seize all the fruits, but also find a way to control all the lone travelers here. If any lone travelers were disobedient, Luo Yuan would eliminate them directly.

Because in order to ensure his own safety, the best way to prevent anyone here from spreading information about him is either to control them all or to eliminate them all. Only in this way can the problem be solved at its source.

Compared to eliminating these people, Luo Yuan prefers to control them. This is because Luo Yuan originally lacked a foundation in this space, and it would be too risky for him to take on the risks alone. These lone travelers, on the other hand, have good talent and strength, and they have nothing behind them.

Once Luo Yuan has control over these people, it can serve as the foundation for his future control over the entire planet. Although Luo Yuan's strength has improved rapidly, in order to achieve the best results this time, he must develop each step to the extreme, which will result in him needing more energy and resources.

Therefore, if he wants to control all the forces on the planet, he must rebuild the most powerful force himself. Luo Yuan never thought that he could control the whole world by himself. Even if he were very powerful, it would be difficult for him to do so. This is because powerful forces can only suppress these people.

However, to completely control them, besides using some special soul control methods, the only way is to build up some forces and establish a very strict management system, so that one can perfectly control the entire planet and then use all the resources on it.

He could continuously enhance his foundation and improve his strength. He believed that by doing so, his final score would definitely be much higher than that of the other geniuses who participated in the assessment. Luo Yuan saw very clearly that this renewed cultivation was not just for the purpose of improving his strength.

Because they are already very strong, their ultimate goal is to get the best score, which is closely related to their usual performance. Under these circumstances, Luo Yuan must make some changes and can no longer develop quietly as usual, because this will not only consume a lot of time, but may also lead to more changes.

Luo Yuan didn't know how long the assessment was scheduled to last, but he knew that if he could reach the strongest level in the shortest amount of time and create the greatest miracle, he would definitely get more points. The worse the foundation he chose, the more difficult it would be to grow.

However, if one can turn the tide under such circumstances and continuously become stronger, then one will ultimately obtain more points than other geniuses, and will also attract the attention of those super strong individuals, thereby gaining corresponding status and resources. Luo Yuan's plan is constantly changing and adjusting based on his understanding of this world.

Therefore, only in this way can one better adapt to the growth of this world, and then one can ultimately obtain the greatest benefits. If one wants to continuously become stronger, so-called cultivation and strength are far from enough; one must also have a clever mind and detailed planning.

As the young man watched so many lone wolves attacking him, despair filled his eyes. He knew he was doomed this time. This young man came from a powerful force, and as a core member, he possessed some trump cards.

However, he still couldn't use many of his trump cards because, in this environment, he found that no matter how hard he struggled, he would never be able to change the current predicament. The lightning ball that could threaten even planetary-level powerhouses was an extremely precious treasure.

This is especially true for those who haven't reached the planetary level of strength; it's something they crave but can't reach. Ordinary lone wolves can't possibly possess such a thing because the price of this treasure is too high. Only those strong individuals who have formed small teams can accumulate enough over a long period of time to purchase a small number of lightning orbs for self-defense.

These powerful figures from strong forces brought a large number of people with them this time, but even so, they all eventually exhausted their resources. This was understandable, as the lone travelers around them were very angry at the young man's behavior of wasting the lightning orb.

They wouldn't even dare to dream of such a treasure, yet this young man treated it like ordinary equipment, throwing it around everywhere. Now that this young man has lost his most powerful treasure, they can eliminate him and seize all the treasures he possesses.

Besides the seemingly precious golden fruit, this young man must have something else on him. As for the young man, he knew that he had no chance to turn the tables this time. He felt angry and unwilling to accept this situation.

He wanted to give these lone wolves everything he had, so he took out the last Thunderball from his pet equipment. When the lone wolves discovered the young man's actions, they stopped in their tracks as they approached. They hadn't expected that this young man would have such a Thunderball on him.

Although they couldn't actually harm these lone travelers, there was still some danger if anyone dared to approach blindly. Some of the lone travelers who had tried to deplete the lightning orb had perished because they were determined to obtain the treasure at any cost after seeing it.

But now that the opportunity to obtain the treasure was right in front of them, they would not easily take the risk. However, what surprised them was that the young man holding the lightning ball did not intend to attack them, but rather to ignite it and perish here. In this way, all the treasures he possessed, including the fruit, would instantly turn into nothingness.

It's obvious that since they see no hope and don't want other powerful individuals to obtain the baby, they might as well let these lone wolves get nothing. Although these lone wolves are core members of powerful forces, they are not the kind of people who are pampered. When faced with danger, they also have the spirit to fight.

So it's not surprising that they could make such a choice at this moment, but if that's really the case, then it's not good news for these lone travelers present, because the treasure that young man possesses is enough to make these people feel that he should hide.

In particular, the fruit it possessed was a treasure rich in energy, and it would be a great pity if it were to perish here. However, the problem was that these people dared not approach it, so they felt very unwilling and regretful. Just as they were at a loss, a figure suddenly appeared and appeared behind the young man at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning ball in the young man's hand vanished, along with his storage equipment, including the golden-glowing fruit. The whole process was incredibly fast, so fast that no one had time to react.

It was as if time had suddenly stopped for the young man, and someone had used the laws of space and time to accomplish all of this. In the end, when the young man came to his senses, he found that all the treasures he possessed were gone.

The figure that suddenly appeared was Luo Yuan, because he already knew the young man's next plan, but he was unwilling to accept this result. Since Luo Yuan had decided to control everyone present, there was no need for him to hide his true strength.

Moreover, it's time to make a move. Luo Yuan came here to obtain these five golden fruits, so how could he allow this young man to waste such important fruits here? Besides, Luo Yuan has already increased his strength in a very short time in this world.

However, he spent most of his time comprehending the rules of the universe. Although his realm has not yet reached a very high level, his control over the rules surpasses that of all martial artists. That is why he was able to use the laws of space and time to snatch all the treasures from that young man in such a short time.

However, using such power requires a lot of energy. Luo Yuan had accumulated a lot of energy for this purpose before, and now it was time to use it, so he didn't hesitate. Sure enough, he obtained the treasure after making his move, and the young man was very afraid of the suddenly appearing Luo Yuan.

He had never seen such a powerful martial artist before. In the young man's memory, even planetary-level experts could not possess Luo Yuan's speed, because such speed could not be achieved by using any secret techniques; it was simply unimaginable. However, the young man was unaware of this.

What kind of power Luo Yuan used to accomplish such a feat is no longer important, because the lone travelers all turned their attention to Luo Yuan. At this moment, Luo Yuan alone possessed three golden source fruits, so he immediately became their common enemy.

As for that young man, he has now lost his value, so these lone wolves won't pay him too much attention. They will deal with Luo Yuan and the young man together when the time comes. In fact, Luo Yuan's speed and strength are very powerful, but if so many lone wolves join forces, it is not impossible for them to eliminate Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan wasn't nervous at all in the face of this situation, because he had encountered similar situations countless times before. He calmly put away all the treasures he had previously acquired, and then, upon seeing the two lone travelers who had taken the Source Fruit, he immediately approached them without hesitation.

Chapter 828 Level Six Overlord

Luo Yuan is now in a position of absolute advantage, and his strength alone is enough to deal with all the lone travelers present. So even if the remaining two important fruits are snatched away by those lone travelers, Luo Yuan has nothing to hesitate about. He immediately uses his powerful techniques to fight against them.

Luo Yuan's strength was immense; in the blink of an eye, he wiped out all the lone wolves in front of him. The strength Luo Yuan displayed was far greater than these lone wolves had anticipated. Moreover, Luo Yuan had not shown his true strength when he fought against those powerful figures from different factions.

These lone travelers were unaware of Luo Yuan's true strength. Now that Luo Yuan was no longer holding back, he put immense pressure on them. They hadn't expected Luo Yuan to be so powerful. So, Luo Yuan effortlessly snatched back the remaining two golden fruits, and all the lone travelers who had tried to steal the treasure from him were instantly annihilated.

Luo Yuan's strength had already posed a significant threat to everyone present, especially after he had taken all the treasures. These people knew that there was no point in staying any longer, as they would ultimately gain nothing from it.

Their strength was far inferior to Luo Yuan's, and they knew that it was impossible to plunder anything in this northern region. So they immediately retreated to a distance, believing that the wisest course of action was to seek opportunities in other areas.

Luo Yuan did not stop these people from leaving, because he never intended to be their enemy. In his view, these lone travelers had no conflict with him. They had all gathered here to obtain treasures to improve their cultivation levels. Now that the outcome had been decided, there was no need for a meaningless battle.

Now that Luo Yuan has achieved his goal of coming here, he must first find a safe place to refine all five golden fruits he has obtained, improve his current realm, and become a true planetary-level powerhouse. At that time, Luo Yuan will no longer be threatened in this border area.

He could even travel to the other three regions and seize all the treasures there. The reason he did this was because these fruits contained a large amount of special energy. If Luo Yuan could obtain them and extract this energy, he could further enhance his strength and resources.

In order to achieve his goal, he needs to have the corresponding strength. Although Luo Yuan's combat power is much stronger than these powerhouses who have not yet reached the planetary level, he cannot guarantee that his current strength can withstand the powerful attack formed by all the powerhouses combined. He must first break through the realm.

That would make him safer when he plunders other treasures. However, the most dangerous place here is often the safest place. In the northern region where he is now, the safest place is definitely in the core area, which is the area where the giant tree is located.

Because a large number of demonic beasts gather there, but these demonic beasts cannot come out of the core area. Even if they are very angry with humans, they cannot run out and steal what originally belonged to them. Of course, Luo Yuan will not go to the core area immediately, because it is also very dangerous for him.

He could choose a place somewhere between the core area and remote areas, so that he could avoid being attacked by monsters and not worry about being attacked by other lone travelers. Luo Yuan quickly found a very good place to cultivate in seclusion.

This was a very inconspicuous mountain in the middle of the area. Luo Yuan had carved out a cave in the mountain for his cultivation. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't know he was there. So Luo Yuan could relax and cultivate. Soon he had refined all five golden fruits in front of him, and he had absorbed all the cosmic energy contained in them.

Especially after that special power fused with Luo Yuan, he could clearly feel that his physique was stronger than before, especially his physical strength. Although the change was very small, it greatly enhanced Luo Yuan's current strength.

That's because Luo Yuan himself has always placed great emphasis on improving his physical strength during his cultivation process, which is why he possesses such powerful combat abilities. The fact that he can now receive a corresponding boost means that the special power within the treasures he possesses in the universe is extremely powerful. If he can absorb more of this special power in the future, he believes that his energy will become even more abundant than before.

Of course, these are not the most important things, because Luo Yuan can feel a connection between himself and the original will of the universe by fusing with this special cosmic power. Although these connections are very slight, Luo Yuan believes that as his strength continues to improve and he fuses with more special energies, he will be able to form a very profound communication with the original will of the universe.

Perhaps he will have a way to repair the damaged primal forces in this universe. Then it wouldn't be surprising if Luo Yuan became the ruler of this universe. That is his ultimate goal: a unique universe, an independent universe without any competitors.

Its value is extremely high; even a ruler-level powerhouse would be very tempted by it. However, if this universe is damaged and cannot be repaired in a short time, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Of course, even so, its value is still very high, if it weren't for the fact that none of the people who control this universe are ruler-level beings.

They had already completely repaired and claimed this universe for themselves, so the super-powerful beings now only have temporary control over it. They can achieve their goals by operating certain rules of this universe, but from beginning to end, they have only regarded this universe as a secret world for cultivating outstanding members.

The reason for this situation is that they want a powerful individual who has cultivated and grown up in their own universe to give up the cosmic power they have acquired through cultivation, in order to study and control the laws of another completely unfamiliar universe, and the laws of this universe are incomplete.

In this situation, intelligent people would not do that. They would focus on their own universe because they have a true sense of belonging to the universe they originally belonged to. Therefore, they would only regard other universes as auxiliary forces. This reality dictates that they would adopt corresponding systems and methods when dealing with these universes and life.

In fact, it's not that there aren't powerful individuals who want to break through their realm and gain access to higher-level positions by repairing the origin of this universe. However, they find that the requirements for achieving this are too high. They lack both the necessary resources and the methods to repair it. Under these circumstances, even if they were willing to give up all the strength they had previously cultivated, it would still be difficult to do so.

However, Luo Yuan didn't care about such things at all, because he knew very well that he had never considered relying on any power of the universe during his cultivation process. He always believed in himself, and that the power he cultivated was the most reliable. If it weren't for the restrictions of the universe's rules that forced him to participate in obtaining those high-level slots in order to continuously improve, he would have been fine.

However, he couldn't possibly spend his time fighting these weak but powerful individuals to participate in any assessments. But the rules of the universe forced him to abide by them, so he could only spend his time here, using various methods to achieve his goals. But now it seems that everything he did was meaningful and valuable.

Having experienced three universes, Luo Yuan possesses immense combat experience and a profound understanding of cosmic laws. He is even able to find commonalities among these different cosmic laws and utilize them. Furthermore, he can integrate the unique powers of the three universes, further enhancing his foundation and strength.

However, Luo Yuan now understands that it is impossible for him to control everything with his own strength alone. Therefore, he needs to rely on the help of other forces. However, these forces do not belong to the same camp as Luo Yuan and can be said to be in an adversarial relationship. If Luo Yuan wants to gain benefits from them, he must demonstrate corresponding value.

Furthermore, only after gaining a higher status can one participate in the distribution of benefits among these high-ranking figures. As long as Luo Yuan can eventually grow into an invincible being, even if these people know Luo Yuan's true origins, they will not have the strength to resist him.

He could only obey Luo Yuan's orders, but before that, Luo Yuan had to be careful. So he behaved properly from beginning to end. However, when he participated in the assessment this time, he chose the most difficult monster. This was not only a process of starting over for him, but also a way to improve his strength and foundation in all aspects.

Therefore, he felt that such an experience was very necessary. In the past, if someone told him that he could improve his strength in this way, he would not really care, because the efficiency of improving strength in this way was too slow. But now he has the opportunity to go through such a test, and the benefits he will gain in the end are unimaginable.

It was precisely because of the support of various benefits that he chose to participate in this genius selection competition. Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Yuan has finally raised his strength to the planetary level, which is the level that can be achieved by fully integrating the rules of this universe.

Luo Yuan's original strength will also be partially unsealed after reaching the corresponding level. This is a rule set by those super strong people when they placed the seal on them. Only when they reach the corresponding level will the corresponding restrictions be lifted, and then their combat power can be truly displayed.

These geniuses originally grew up in different environments, which was already a huge risk. It would be very dangerous and unfair to prevent them from using any of their own power. Moreover, these geniuses are facing new cultivation systems in the process of cultivation.

It's inevitable that there will be some wavering, especially if there's a situation where it's difficult to integrate with the original cultivation system and methods. This would have a huge impact on the original cultivation path of these geniuses. Therefore, removing the corresponding restrictions would allow them to more easily integrate their cultivation system with the environment they are currently facing, thus forging their own unique path.

Of course, this also tests whether these geniuses possess the talent for independent innovation, especially their strong adaptability. True geniuses can adapt to any environment as quickly as possible and grow stronger. Only in this way are they qualified to inherit the corresponding positions of those powerful forces.

If a genius is only very powerful in their own universe but becomes ineffective in a different environment, then their value in training is very limited. This is because battles between powerful individuals cannot always take place within their own universe. If they want to launch attacks on other universes, they can only go to other universes.

Therefore, the ability to adapt to one's environment is very important. After Luo Yuan reached the planetary level, he felt that his strength was much greater than before, especially his mental state and the foundation he originally possessed had also been improved.

If he really wanted to talk about it, he actually felt that the powerful forces in this universe were even stronger than the strong beings he originally belonged to. It's just that this universe has lost its super strong beings, and you don't know what kind of beings they were, or how they could have reached such a level of power to destroy such a powerful universe.

Moreover, when Luo Yuan realized his breakthrough, he was able to maintain some contact with the origin of this universe for a short period of time. Therefore, he could clearly discover that the original dimension of this universe was likely at level six. It was only because it encountered an insurmountable enemy that the universe was damaged.

This resulted in the fall of all the super-strong beings, and their own dimensions were reduced to level five, or even weaker than level five. The only possibility is that the one who attacked this universe could only be a powerful being from a higher-dimensional universe. This also explains why this universe was not occupied by those powerful beings after it was destroyed, because this universe had lost its value to them.

Only universes of the same level as this one would be interested in it. Even with limited resources, it could still nurture many powerful individuals. Under such circumstances, it definitely needs to be well controlled. It can be said that this is a universe with enormous potential. If it can be completely repaired and controlled, the benefits would be unimaginable.

In particular, Luo Yuan had already sensed that the dimension of this universe was higher than that of the universe he had previously been in, which made him very excited. If he could completely restore this universe and truly restore it to the sixth dimension, then once Luo Yuan could obtain the position of ruler of this universe again and break through to the ruler realm, he could become a true sixth-level ruler.

Luo Yuan now understands that different universe dimensions determine the strongest and most powerful ruler level among them. Therefore, there are huge differences among rulers. The dimension they belong to directly determines the strength they can possess. A level six ruler can completely crush a level five ruler.

The ruler of Luo Yuan's original universe had spent countless hours and resources trying to break through to the sixth level, but even so, the chances were not very high. Therefore, this was a huge opportunity for Luo Yuan.

Chapter 829 Standing By

The breakthrough process went very smoothly. However, Luo Yuan could clearly feel that after breaking through his realm in this universe, he had reached a higher level of strength than in his original universe. This fully demonstrates that when this universe was not destroyed, it must have had a very high dimensional level.

Reaching the sixth dimension is very possible, which means that this universe is of extraordinary value. However, to truly realize the value of this universe, the prerequisite is to fully restore its fundamental laws. Luo Yuan does not know how much he will have to pay, but he has made full mental preparations.

Luo Yuan will cultivate in this universe for a long time, not only to understand the rules of this universe as soon as possible and to fully master them, but also to constantly collect various precious resources. Of course, he can also try the methods of repairing the original laws in the inheritance he has obtained, but he cannot guarantee that he will eventually be able to achieve victory.

However, even if it's just a possibility, Luo Yuan is willing to try it, because the benefits if he succeeds will be enormous. In this case, even if there is a possibility of failure, it is absolutely necessary to try. Currently, Luo Yuan and his group are located in the southern region. Logically speaking, they should travel from the northern region to the western or eastern region to reach the closest location.
