I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

So when a powerful faction suddenly attacked Luo Yuan's faction, Luo Yuan thought it was normal. Moreover, these factions didn't need to prepare in advance or notify each other when fighting, because it was quite good to defeat the enemy by surprise.

Therefore, under such circumstances, once they encounter each other, they will not hesitate to launch the most intense battle. Luo Yuan also felt very helpless about this situation. Although he was unwilling to engage in battles with powerful factions so early, he preferred to let these different factions fight each other to wear each other down. Then, after their numbers were reduced, Luo Yuan would take action and drive them all away.

Eliminating them would be better than the current situation, but he can't control the entire situation on the field with his own ideas, so he can only keep resisting when facing the enemy. Even if he can't defeat them all at once, he can still buy time.

Luo Yuan knew very well that the longer the time dragged on, the fewer corresponding units would be preserved. This would save him a lot of trouble. The people he had encountered before were relatively weak, so even if Luo Yuan and his men relaxed their guard and didn't use their abilities...

This powerful force was still too much for the enemy to handle, and the final result was that Luo Yuan's camp wiped out all the weaker camps. This also shows how unfathomable Luo Yuan's command ability was, even though Luo Yuan intentionally reduced his own combat power.

So he was able to reach this state, which is why he could defeat different factions in a perfect way. But now that he has encountered a faction with decent strength, Luo Yuan feels that it is time to fight them.

The reason for extending the process is that Luo Yuan realized that if he could demonstrate more command ability and eliminate such a powerful force within this timeframe, it would be enough to prove that the force he led was definitely not simple.

Then more powerful factions will definitely take action. If the leaders of these factions cooperate temporarily and want to eliminate Luo Yuan and his group to reduce potential threats, then Luo Yuan and his group will be in great danger. At least from the current situation, Luo Yuan still feels that there is no problem and he can deal with it calmly.

Therefore, in the ensuing battle, Luo Yuan was able to demonstrate his very strong command ability, never giving the opponent a chance to win. However, Luo Yuan also deliberately gathered his members together, so that they did not have to expend too much energy in the battle. So, from an outsider's perspective...

Luo Yuan's camp was always at a disadvantage, but for some reason, they were always able to perfectly block the attacks of another powerful camp without suffering any damage. They seemed to be very strong and never had any problems, which greatly surprised the leader of that powerful camp.

Because they clearly sensed that Luo Yuan's faction wasn't very strong, but they couldn't defeat them despite using various methods. It's important to understand that fighting with a faction is completely different from fighting alone. If one's strength is demonstrated in a single battle, then it becomes very clear and obvious.

Moreover, even if you hide your strength, it's impossible to maintain it for such a long time unless you have extremely strong combat abilities. However, it's a different story when a leader is directly involved in a battle, because it requires unifying everyone's strength to form a powerful fighting force.

If even one person falters while displaying their strength, it will affect the entire team's combat effectiveness. Therefore, no commander would make such a basic mistake. They would not allow any problems to arise among their subordinates in order to ensure final victory.

They need to push everyone's abilities to their limits to achieve the desired effect, but the camp led by Luo Yuan is completely different. This is because Luo Yuan has not shown the true combat power of these people, as if he is deliberately suppressing them.

However, these people were still able to cooperate perfectly and grow stronger in battle. They were not eliminated, but they also did not defeat their opponents directly. It was as if they had entered into a long-term stalemate. This situation had never occurred before.

The only explanation is that the faction that fought Luo Yuan and his group before was too weak. They were defeated before they could even test their true fighting strength. Now that a stronger faction has appeared, they won't be eliminated immediately.

However, they haven't gained any benefits so far, and Luo Yuan has gained a clearer understanding of team combat methods through command. He knows that this kind of combat requires high vigilance and perfect use of various command abilities to enable the members to achieve the best results.

Therefore, it is necessary to be fully aware of everyone's actions at the same time. The reason why Luo Yuan was able to achieve this state is not only because of his strong command ability, but also because the main force that makes up the entire camp is controlled by him using his soul power.

Therefore, he can know the status of these people through soul perception at the first moment. As long as he commands these strong people who are the main force, he can lead the entire camp without any problems. In fact, with their strength, it is very easy to eliminate the opponent in a short period of time.

However, he did not do so because he knew very well that if he eliminated all these people now, they would be subjected to more encirclement and attacks, which would be very troublesome for any faction. Therefore, Luo Yuan had to persist here to avoid trouble.

Therefore, he kept observing the current situation during the battle, especially the situation of other factions, because only in this way could he know what to do. Luo Yuan's attitude made the people of the opposing faction very angry.

Because they could also see that Luo Yuan was the commander of the entire camp, but the true strength Luo Yuan displayed did not reach the level they had imagined. These people did not know much about Luo Yuan's specific situation, because based on the current situation...

Only a powerful individual could command an entire faction in battle, but Luo Yuan doesn't fit that description at all. So there are only two possibilities: either Luo Yuan is hiding his strength, or he doesn't have planetary-level strength but has a powerful background.

That's why he was able to become the commander of the entire camp. Judging from Luo Yuan's command ability, he definitely has a lot of experience. This means that Luo Yuan has commanded many large-scale battles between legions. People with such abilities usually come from powerful forces and have to participate in a lot of battles to achieve this.

Luo Yuan wouldn't be indifferent to such matters. He didn't care what these people did or what these powerful figures thought. For him, seizing the opportunity and obtaining all the treasures here was enough.

Those powerful individuals who fought against Luo Yuan did not know the true purpose of Luo Yuan and his group. Logically speaking, if they were strong, they would definitely fight against the most powerful factions in order to quickly achieve a higher ranking.

This is because the stronger the faction, the fewer people dare to provoke them. Under such circumstances, they can preserve their own fighting strength to the greatest extent. If Luo Yuan's strength is strong enough, the opponent will definitely have to weigh the gap between them before deciding what to do next.

The problem is that to achieve this effect, you must choose a powerful faction and defeat it to achieve a deterrent effect. However, fighting against powerful factions consumes a lot of energy and may even result in more losses.

This is something Luo Yuan absolutely does not want to see. Moreover, if he encounters someone stronger than himself in this way, he might suffer heavy losses immediately, and then he wouldn't even have the qualification to compete for the treasure. So he starts with the weakest camp.

Not only can it save energy, but it can also conceal itself. Moreover, once it knows its own strength level, it can also understand what to do to defeat the opponent in the best way. What Luo Yuan can see, the leaders of the other powerful camps must also know.

However, because they come from a powerful force, they cannot bring themselves to lower themselves to fight against weaker factions. This would be inconceivable to them, and if the stronger members of other factions found out, they might be ridiculed.

Chapter 846. A Grand Spectacle

Throughout the battlefield, powerful figures from different factions engaged in continuous combat. While some retreated voluntarily due to their perceived lack of strength, the majority of powerful figures decided to stay and fight, as leaving without a fight would be unwise.

Not only were they unwilling to lose face, but they were also eager to see the difference between themselves and other strong individuals of the same level. Therefore, during battles, they would unleash any secret techniques they had cultivated.

Although they cannot cause fatal damage due to the rules, they can still inflict some damage on their opponents to judge the strength of their attacks. This is a very good testing opportunity for these people who usually venture into the border areas.

So they simply used the battles here as a platform to test their combat strength. Even if they couldn't obtain any treasures in the end, they wouldn't have any regrets about coming all this way. After all, everyone came here to explore, and although they all wanted to obtain treasures, they knew in their hearts that to obtain treasures, they needed to have the corresponding abilities.

Therefore, the final battle style seemed a bit strange. Originally, the strongmen from different factions restrained themselves and did not fight too fiercely in order to conserve their energy for the next battle. However, as the battle went on, more and more strongmen from different factions realized that they would have no chance of obtaining the treasure in the end.

So they didn't hold back in the fight, but this action made the strong members of the powerful factions feel very strained, because they wouldn't give up so easily, nor would they want to lose too much energy in the battle, after all, for them...

There's still a good chance of obtaining treasures, so there's no need to waste so much energy fighting these hopeless powerhouses. Otherwise, you'll be in danger when you fight even stronger opponents later.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, some powerful individuals emerged from various factions and came out from the central area to fight. Those powerful individuals who wanted to test their strength could greatly reduce the energy consumption of all the powerful individuals in the entire faction in this way.

After all, obtaining the treasure in the end cannot be achieved by individual strength alone; only the combined strength of the group can achieve a greater advantage. However, those planetary-level beings who have always been in the center can still play a certain role, even though other powerful beings can also play a role.

However, when faced with an attack from many powerful individuals, they would still be at a disadvantage. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, these strongest fighters would not easily take action. They would only command the battle from the center, which was the only way to maintain their significant advantage.

Because Luo Yuan's faction was quite ordinary on the battlefield, it didn't attract much attention. Only those factions that were close to him could discover the unique features of Luo Yuan's faction.

Anyone with a brain can see that Luo Yuan's camp has never been defeated, but it hasn't won many victories either. It seems to have always maintained a balance of power with other camps, no matter how strong the opponents are.

This situation seems normal, but it is actually very strange. Logically speaking, the stronger the opposing faction, the greater the pressure they will face, and they will definitely exhibit some peculiarities in the battle. For example, when facing a weaker faction, they can defeat or drive them away in a short time.

However, they would struggle against powerful forces, and might even be wiped out. But Luo Yuan and his group were not like that at all. Even some powerful forces that appeared later could not pose a threat to them.

Therefore, all the factions that observed the special situation here began to move closer to the direction of the bank. Of course, this only occupied a small part of the entire battlefield, since the entire area was very vast and was divided into three different zones, and large and small factions were distributed in the different zones.

How could they possibly observe the situation of all factions during the battle? They could only make the most accurate judgment based on their own situation and aim to defeat the enemy by minimizing energy consumption. Only in this way could they last longer.

If they persist long enough, they will have the opportunity to join the final battle and achieve a higher ranking. Even if some powerful factions eventually break the rules and try to seize the treasures, they will not be able to take all the treasures.

After all, the combined strength of all the factions present was very powerful. No single faction could possibly fight against all the others on its own. So even if they were very dissatisfied, they would restrain themselves and not recklessly steal all the treasures.

Therefore, this final ranking has little binding force on those extremely powerful factions, but it still has a significant effect on most other factions. At least it guarantees that they can obtain the corresponding treasures. Even if the number of treasures is not large, it can still allow some of them to improve their realm and break through to the planetary level.

Then they can escape the battles on the fringes and head to the more powerful central region, where the resources are most abundant. In fact, the entire wilderness is divided into three regions, mainly because of the level and quantity of treasures found there.

Of course, the place with the most treasures will also have the most monsters, because the treasures will attract these monsters to live there, or even take over the place and turn it into their territory. So, if human strongmen want to obtain the things there, they can only fight with their own people to compete for the treasures.

Moreover, some treasures are not naturally formed, but rather mature through the long-term cultivation of those demonic beasts. Therefore, even if these human powerhouses fight those demonic beasts, they cannot possibly eliminate them all. Logically speaking, the most powerful being on the entire planet must be that lord.

Moreover, they possess peak stellar-level strength. If that lord wanted to eliminate all these demonic beasts, it would only take a moment. However, if he did so, the powerful humans living on the planet would lose their opponents, which would be very detrimental to their growth.

Because any strong person must go through many hardships to grow stronger. Without opponents, they cannot know their own strength and will become arrogant and complacent. Moreover, they can not only serve as training opponents on the path to becoming strong, but also provide them with more cultivation resources.

The materials found on these monsters can be used by powerful individuals to craft various powerful equipment. Furthermore, these monsters possess high intelligence and can cultivate valuable materials here, which can then be exchanged for more cultivation resources by the powerful individuals who obtain them.

Therefore, the existence of different forces in any place will have mutual effects. On the one hand, they can pose a threat to them, but on the other hand, they can bring them benefits. So it is a mutually reinforcing process. As the number of these camps continues to decrease, the result is that conflicts occur between these camps in different areas.

They originally fought in different regions, but now they find that there are fewer and fewer people who can fight them, so they have to cross other regions and fight with more factions. Therefore, the stronger the faction, the more likely they are to survive. Moreover, as the battle continues, some strong individuals in the factions will emerge.

Knowing that continuing the fight would be pointless, they voluntarily left their original camps and joined the more powerful ones. This led to the growing strength of those powerful camps, and there was little trust between these newcomers and the original members of those powerful camps.

However, they can cooperate with each other for common interests. But in a certain respect, the commanders in these camps will investigate and manage these outsiders, because they are worried that these people will break away from control after seeing the benefits, thus causing trouble for their original camps.

After all, any faction that can form a cohesive unit can generate tremendous combat power, much like the immense fighting strength of legions in battle. However, if problems arise, the entire faction will descend into chaos.

Even if they possess formidable combat power, they will struggle to utilize it effectively during battles, leading to internal problems. Often, defeating an opponent requires more than just external enemies; it can even be achieved by dismantling them from within.

This makes them fail even faster, so the powerful Zheng Ying and her group basically won't allow outsiders to join them, for fear that these people will ultimately not bring them any benefit, but instead drag down the efficiency of the entire camp and reduce its strength, which would be a very unprofitable thing.

The problem is that the battle between the different factions this time was too intense, so many real people lost many strong people. Under such circumstances, if there are no replacements, it will be difficult for them to continue the battle. Even if the commanders are very unwilling, they have to relax the restrictions.

However, they don't just accept anyone to join. They only allow people to temporarily join the camp after a simple investigation, making them a key node. Moreover, the most important thing for these outsiders is to have stronger combat power. For example, it would be best if they could have combat power comparable to a planetary-level expert. If these people also have some special abilities, that would be even better.

If it can enhance combat effectiveness, that would be even better. Of course, the so-called loyalty test is just a simple one. After all, everyone present will not have much contact with each other, so it is impossible to find out more information on the spot. It is enough to know the most basic function through some simple investigation.

Moreover, as long as the commanders are strong enough, they are confident that they can suppress all these outsiders. A powerful camp can have such strength not only because it has a very strict management system, but also because it can ensure that these people obey orders and commands. Therefore, as a strong commander, one must be strong enough.

To ensure that those being commanded obey orders from the bottom of their hearts and without any betrayal, the commander must possess excellent command skills and be able to identify any problems within the camp at any time. Only in this way can the overall combat effectiveness of the camp be guaranteed.

Those factions that agree to let outsiders join are often very powerful, especially since their leaders are strong enough to keep these people in check. Moreover, it's only a battle between other factions yet, and it's not time to distribute the treasures.

Since we haven't even seen the treasure yet, it's impossible for problems to arise unexpectedly. Only after seeing the treasure will various accidents occur in the struggle for it. But since we're in the middle of a battle, we still need the help of these outsiders to alleviate the pressure and fight the enemy.

As for promising some benefits when these people join, it's all just promises, since they don't have much practical effect. Whether or not they will be given any treasures depends entirely on the commanders' own ideas. After all, even if the outsiders have any resentment or anger, they will have no ability to resist.

These outsiders were aware of this situation, but they also knew that if they stayed, they would still have the opportunity to obtain treasures. However, if they left, they would have to explore on their own, which would be very dangerous and the chance of obtaining treasures would be very low.

After all, treasures are usually distributed in very scattered locations, and they can only be concentrated in those very important areas. This is why those monsters can gather together. They are divided into different areas by the locations where the weather forecasting objects are placed.

Now that these factions are fighting each other, they don't think about it as much anymore. After all, such opportunities are very rare for them. Once they can obtain treasures and break through their realm, they may not come to this border area again.

So for some people, this is the last grand occasion. After all, although there are many powerful people on the planet, they are usually scattered in different areas to carry out missions. It is incredible to suddenly gather so many powerful people and make them fight each other, unless there are special circumstances.

For example, when faced with an area rich in treasures, they would temporarily come here to fight. Regardless of their motives, fighting here provides them with a great opportunity, since many powerful individuals do not rely solely on external resources to break through their cultivation levels.

Some people are so talented that they can improve their strength through combat, and even break through to higher realms. Combat not only lets them know their current strength, but also lets them understand where their weaknesses lie.

Luo Yuan knew what to do during cultivation and could guide their growth, so the benefits were enormous, provided they could survive.

Chapter 847. Battle

The situation on the battlefield can change rapidly, but there is not much change here. This is mainly because the strength gap between these factions is still very obvious. They may have similar levels of cultivation, but their methods are very different. In addition, the overall strength they can exert when they form a team makes the gap even wider.

The final result is that the weaker factions are quickly eliminated or driven away, so the factions that survive to the end will be the very powerful ones. However, in the end, these powerful factions will constantly clash and fight each other.

They need to demonstrate their strength to show other factions how powerful they are, thus creating a deterrent effect and making them leave voluntarily. Otherwise, if they relax their guard while acquiring the treasure, it would be very troublesome if other factions' strongmen came and attacked them.

This is because the area is very vast, and the treasures are scattered in different places. It is impossible for the entire camp to concentrate on searching for them. They can only be dispersed and searched everywhere. So in the end, it is equivalent to dividing up the originally powerful combat force. Then other camps will definitely have other ideas about them.

Then there will be endless troubles, and they might even be wiped out by those factions. The only solution is to instill fear in these people from the beginning so that they will leave. After all, those weaker factions know that even if they manage to seize the treasure, whether they can leave with it is still a question.

After all, their combat strength is relatively weak, and they cannot keep their treasures until the end. Therefore, for those who are weak, having powerful treasures is actually a bad thing, because it will only attract more powerful people to attack them, and they will not gain any benefits in the end.

In order to gain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost, Luo Yuan always fought against the slightly stronger factions on the outermost edge of the battlefield. Moreover, he always chose to attack the weakest of the weakest. This not only bought time but also caused the stronger factions to fight each other and wear each other down.

This way, he can preserve his strongest fighting force and improve his command ability and the combat experience of his subordinates through battle. In this way, some people with outstanding strength and talent will definitely stand out in the process of continuous battle, and these people will become the most important members for Luo Yuan to control the entire planet.

Only true gold is not afraid of being tested by fire. So, if you want to find a satisfactory subordinate among so many people, you can only do so through combat. Luo Yuan doesn't have that much time to constantly investigate the specific situation of each person in order to judge whether they are worth training. He doesn't have the time or the mind to do such a thing.

Moreover, the process of fighting not only demonstrates a person's combat ability, but also reveals their character. After all, whether they can form a tacit understanding and trust with their companions when facing a life-or-death crisis depends on their usual performance.

Because some people, when faced with danger, will use others as shields to protect their own lives. There is no need to win over such people, because even if they gain other benefits, they will not feel any gratitude, but will take it for granted. Therefore, they will not feel any guilt when they betray them.

Luo Yuan has a limited number of powerful individuals under his control, so he can only control those he considers the most outstanding. Therefore, he will not use soul control on most of his subordinates. Instead, he can only use normal management methods to give them some benefits and make them loyal to him.

However, this is very troublesome because people's hearts are very complex. It is difficult to control what they think. Different people have different ideas. Even if you give them a lot of benefits, you may not be able to make them trust you 100% and obey your orders and arrangements.

Therefore, Luo Yuan must cultivate those he has complete control over and make them the main force in controlling the entire team. However, he must be very careful in selecting other strong individuals, because if any problems arise, the consequences will be very troublesome.

If a problem occurs in any whole, it can lead to a complete collapse. Therefore, Luo Yuan must be careful in choosing the team he will manage the entire planet and those who obey his orders, because it is related to whether he can ultimately control the universe and achieve the highest ranking.
