I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Moreover, the combat power they formed had already eliminated two or three camps in a short period of time. The whole process was very fast and without any hesitation, which made the commanders of these camps feel somewhat fearful. They did not expect Luo Yuan and his group to be so powerful. Although they had guessed that Luo Yuan and his group had hidden their combat power before, they did not expect that they had hidden so much.

Luo Yuan has swept across three regions along his journey, so he will definitely recruit powerful individuals through continuous observation. He will also gather outstanding individuals together through soul control. Therefore, after continuous optimization, the powerful individuals who can join his camp are naturally very strong in this border region.

This is equivalent to bringing together the strongest experts from the other three regions to specifically deal with the experts in the Eastern region. Although the experts here are also very strong, their combined combat power is still formidable.

It is undoubtedly more powerful than any other region, but this is on the premise that these human powerhouses can unite, and they have indeed reached this level in the process of fighting against the demon beasts. However, the current situation is completely different, because this is a battle between human powerhouses.

These powerful figures from different factions each have their own ideas. Although they are cooperating with each other now because of the threat posed by Luo Yuan, they have not been able to achieve perfect teamwork in battle. As a result, many problems have arisen during the battle.

Originally, these people thought that they would be very strong if they joined forces, but not only did they not achieve the desired effect, their combat power continued to decline, which gave Luo Yuan and his group a good opportunity to strike during the battle. In the end, Luo Yuan and his group became stronger and stronger as they fought, and even eliminated four or five other factions in a very short time.

Therefore, the number of factions that still have some fighting power has suddenly dropped to about three or four, which has made their original advantage disappear. If they were all united, they would still pose a threat to Luo Yuan and his group, but now it is completely different.

They turned around and continued to suppress Luo Yuan's camp in battle. If this continued, then the few remaining camps would eventually be wiped out by Luo Yuan and his group. In the process of eliminating these camps, Luo Yuan was also able to control those very outstanding strongmen. In this way, the balance of power shifted.

As Luo Yuan and his group grew stronger, the situation became very clear. If these powerful cultivators did not retreat now, they would only face certain death. Since they could find no advantage, they had no choice but to temporarily avoid the enemy's advance. Therefore, they began to retreat, fleeing towards the surrounding areas to the east.

However, these people would not give up so easily, because they knew very well that there would definitely be more powerful people lying in ambush on the way back, waiting for the final victor to come out with the treasure so that they could attack and seize it.

Because the victorious camp will have gone through the most intense battles, their strength will have been greatly depleted. If they didn't have strong willpower, they would have already run into problems. If they now think that the treasure is right in front of them, they will definitely become very lax.

Once they bring out the treasure, they will definitely find it difficult to maintain their previous strong combat power. This will be the best opportunity for other powerful figures from the surrounding factions to make their move. This situation will affect both the victorious faction and the commanders of the factions preparing to attack.

They all understood this, but the problem was that even if they knew, it was difficult to change. The fact that energy was consumed in battle was undeniable. Even if they were very unwilling, they could only look for opportunities to resist each other. Ultimately, how much treasure they could digest and obtain depended entirely on their own situation.

Furthermore, when different factions are formed together, they will certainly not share the treasures with each other after obtaining them. Instead, they will distribute the treasures according to the pre-established distribution plan. In fact, some conflicts may even arise among them when distributing the treasures, which will lead to internal divisions.

The final result was that the entire camp's combat power was greatly damaged. Therefore, winning the final battle does not mean that you can rest easy. Otherwise, why is it that after so many years of development, only a small number of people can obtain these treasures to break through their realm and eventually go to the central area and the core area to cultivate?

Luo Yuan looked at the other powerful figures from the camps he had driven away, but he didn't send his men to pursue them. He knew very well that if they all went after them, they would be surrounded even more, which was completely unnecessary. The most important thing was to obtain and digest the treasures here.

Moreover, the so-called ranking has lost its meaning. Logically, the top ten factions should be able to participate in the final distribution, but who could have imagined that the final result would be that Luo Yuan led his subordinates to defeat all the strongmen of the other nine factions.

Therefore, Luo Yuan no longer needed to negotiate with the commanders of other factions over the distribution of treasures. It was as if he could reap all the benefits on his own. So, Luo Yuan immediately ordered his subordinates to collect all the treasures in the Eastern region.

Because many of these powerful individuals were not fully under Luo Yuan's control, he was worried that they might try to keep the treasures for themselves after discovering them, and might even try to escape. Since Luo Yuan couldn't restrain them at all times, he still had to ensure he obtained the treasures to the greatest extent possible.

He simply distributed his subordinates to different areas, so that if anyone dared to hide treasures here, they could be eliminated, which would also serve as a deterrent. Luo Yuan himself was waiting for him at the exit of the eastern area, which was the last line of defense.

He believed that even if someone did manage to escape, they couldn't possibly bypass him so easily. This created a double layer of protection. After Luo Yuan took such action, those powerful individuals who originally had other ideas no longer had those thoughts. They could only obediently collect the treasures and send them all to Luo Yuan.

Although they felt somewhat unwilling, they could only give up because of Luo Yuan's strength. However, they did not fail to obtain any treasures. After all, since they had followed Luo Yuan here to fight, Luo Yuan would give them some treasures as a reward.

Of course, the most important treasures would still be obtained by Luo Yuan. Therefore, after obtaining the treasures, Luo Yuan did not leave immediately. He still temporarily occupied the entire eastern region because he knew very well that there were more powerful people lying in ambush around. If he left now, the treasures in his hands would likely be snatched away by them.

Although Luo Yuan and the others displayed great strength during the battle, they could only reach that state for a short time. After all, their energy was limited. So, by expending all of it at a certain moment, they could naturally ensure an increase in their combat power.

However, once the energy is depleted, it is difficult to recover quickly. Therefore, Luo Yuan simply ordered his subordinates to continuously integrate the resources in the occupied area to replenish their energy consumption and improve their combat power. This way, when they leave, they will be able to deal with other powerful opponents with their strongest combat power.

Luo Yuan himself brought many treasures to begin further improvement. He first extracted and fused all the special energies. After a very smooth fusion, his strength not only improved, but he also felt that his connection with the origin of this universe was becoming closer and closer.

Although he hasn't achieved the effect he wanted yet, he believes that as long as he continues in this way, he will eventually be able to truly come into contact with the origin of this universe.

Chapter 850 Attack

Chapter 850 Attack

As Luo Yuan continued to integrate the treasures he had seized, he was unaware that, due to their previous display of great strength and the fact that they had no background whatsoever, they had actually managed to defeat all the factions in the border region.

Therefore, the relevant information about Luo Yuan and his group was immediately transmitted to the higher-ups of various forces. Although it was a bit too early for Luo Yuan and his group, who had not even reached the planetary level, to gain the attention of those higher-ups, the sudden appearance of someone with no background who could crush all other experts of the same level was quite remarkable.

Furthermore, the fact that he possessed such formidable strength without any prior warning forced the high-ranking figures to investigate Luo Yuan's background. However, no matter how they investigated, they found that Luo Yuan's origins were very ordinary, yet he possessed methods that were beyond their comprehension. This only piqued the interest of many people in Luo Yuan.

They kept collecting information about Luo Yuan, meaning that Luo Yuan's information had become a topic of common concern for many important figures. However, Luo Yuan had already guessed this, so before taking any action, he would change his identity to alter his appearance.

Only in this way could he survive discreetly. Luo Yuan had originally planned to raise his strength to the highest level in this world before truly revealing himself to everyone. Before that, in order to obtain more treasures and resources, he would definitely have conflicts with various powerful figures.

However, in order to ensure his safety, Luo Yuan could not let others know his true identity, including the identity he had taken over on this planet. So, to achieve this, Luo Yuan simply borrowed the image of someone else.

Moreover, Luo Yuan's current appearance is the one he transformed into after conducting research. The advantage of this is that the person he transformed into no longer exists, but there is no indication that he has perished. In other words, no one knows whether this person still exists or has disappeared.

So, while Luo Yuan could hide under this person's identity, he could at least have a new identity so that he could immediately evacuate if any problems arose. Therefore, the information obtained by the high-ranking figures of those forces was not the identity that Luo Yuan had replaced on this planet, but rather a completely unrelated person.

Therefore, no matter how they investigate, they will never know the true situation of Luo Yuan. The strength that Luo Yuan and his group have shown has indeed attracted the attention of many powerful people. At the same time, they are also thinking of intercepting Luo Yuan and his group on their way back after they have obtained the treasure, so that they might be able to obtain some resources.

After all, according to the information they had obtained, the camp led by Luo Yuan was just a temporary formation, a fighting force formed by different lone wolves temporarily working together. Although they did not know why such a disorganized camp would have such strong combat power.

Therefore, they could only attribute this to Luo Yuan's strong command ability. So many people wanted to meet Luo Yuan to see what kind of person he was. If they felt that Luo Yuan had that kind of value, they would give him appropriate treatment and hope to establish a friendly relationship with him.

As a result, most of the powerful figures in the peripheral areas began to move towards the eastern region. However, they dared not come to the core area of ​​the region and could only wait in the peripheral areas. They knew very well that now was the time for Luo Yuan and his group to collect treasures, and they might consume some of them in the process.

However, they did not believe that Luo Yuan and his group would occupy this place for long, because there were many demonic beasts gathered nearby. Although these demonic beasts had been driven away in the previous battle and lost their territory, they also knew that human powerhouses could not stay here for long, so they were prepared to take back these territories at any time.

Therefore, if Luo Yuan and his group of powerful individuals stay in this area for too long, we will definitely attack Luo Yuan together. At that time, we won't even need the human experts on the periphery to intervene; these demonic beasts alone will be enough to cause Luo Yuan and his group a great deal of trouble.

Although the monsters did not appear as strong as the human warriors in the previous battles, this was only on the surface. After all, the wilderness was mainly inhabited by monsters, who had occupied this place for a long time and had acquired many treasures. However, they understood the special purpose of the humans who came here.

Therefore, it is unlikely that they will have a major conflict with humans. At least when faced with an insurmountable situation, it is a wise choice to temporarily retreat. So they will not have a major conflict with human powerhouses unless absolutely necessary, but this is on the condition that the human powerhouses do not go too far.

If they lose their territory, these demonic beasts might attack recklessly. Even the strongest force wouldn't survive such an attack, especially since the powerful warriors led by Luo Yuan had already expended a lot of energy in the previous battle.

Even if they stay here to repair themselves, it's impossible to raise their combat power to its peak in a short time. After all, there needs to be a certain level of understanding between demonic beasts and human powerhouses, so they need to act according to the rules that have been set before. If anyone violates the rules, they will definitely have to pay the corresponding price.

Luo Yuan was aware of these rules, but he also understood that if he didn't try his best to integrate the power of these resources and improve his strength, then once he left this place, there would definitely be more powerful people joining forces to deal with him. So he should improve his strength as much as he could now.

Moreover, to guard against the possibility of the monsters attacking them at any time, Luo Yuan ordered several powerful individuals under his control to constantly observe the monsters' movements. If the monsters made any rash moves, Luo Yuan would immediately lead his core members away from the area.

As for the powerful individuals in his camp who were not controlled by his soul secret technique, Luo Yuan had no reason to worry about them. To him, these people were of little value, and their strength and talent were only average. Luo Yuan had no intention of controlling them.

These people are of no use to Luo Yuan. They only joined him temporarily because they saw his strength and wanted to obtain treasures, which is why they kept fighting. However, if any problems arise, these people are likely to betray Luo Yuan at the first opportunity.

Therefore, Luo Yuan did not inform these people when he left. As for what would happen to them afterward, that was none of Luo Yuan's business. Now, both the demonic beasts and the human powerhouses were waiting for Luo Yuan to make his final decision. Meanwhile, Luo Yuan was calmly digesting and integrating the special power from the resources he had just acquired.

Furthermore, as this power continued to increase, Luo Yuan was able to sense that he could control some of the laws of the universe. Generally, only those who are above the level of the Unsurpassed can do this. In this universe, even planetary level experts do not have the opportunity to comprehend them.

However, Luo Yuan was completely different. He was originally an extremely powerful being. Although his strength was sealed after he arrived here, he was still able to clearly perceive the fundamental laws of this universe and even have some connection with the fundamental will of this universe.

However, this connection is very slight, because Luo Yuan's current strength has not yet reached this level. Moreover, if he, as a powerful figure from the outside world, wants to truly connect with the will of this universe, he must continuously improve and integrate the power of the universe's rules in order to achieve this.

This is related to Luo Yuan's important future plans, so he must deal with it carefully. And now is a very good world. Only by establishing such a connection from the beginning will it be easier for him to eventually control the origin of this universe as he continues to grow.

Time passed quickly, second by second. Luo Yuan didn't know how much time had gone by. He only felt that he had almost digested the power of the treasures he had obtained, and then he received information about those monsters.

It turned out that the longer Luo Yuan stayed there, the more rational the demon beasts that were waiting around remained, and they did not make any other moves. However, they noticed that the situation was different this time. The human expert had stayed for too long, which made the leaders of these demon beasts feel pressured. They did not know what the human expert wanted to do.

Therefore, they decided to take action to reclaim their lost territory. If these demonic beasts were to come, it would mean that their actions and attacks would be even more powerful than before. So Luo Yuan was unwilling to waste his time here, especially if he consumed too much energy in the process of fighting these demonic beasts.

Then the powerful people hiding around would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Luo Yuan didn't want this to happen, so he immediately led the core members under his control to leave quietly. As expected, after he left, those demonic beasts began to attack the territory in the eastern region.

The human powerhouses who had not yet completely left the territory immediately felt panicked. Some of them were still searching everywhere for undiscovered treasures, hoping to make a gain. However, before they could react, they found that powerful demonic beasts were all around them. Moreover, this time the demonic beasts' attacks were extremely fierce, no longer holding back as before.

Moreover, these elements can be seen as extremely fierce towards human powerhouses. In the minds of these demon beasts, they have maintained a tacit understanding with human powerhouses for countless years. However, now that human powerhouses have suddenly broken this rule, these demon beasts are extremely angry.

Therefore, they now need to use their powerful strength to let the strong people of these people know the power of these demonic beasts, so as to truly pose a threat. As a result, the strong people who are still here are subjected to very fierce attacks. Faced with this situation, they can only place their hopes on Luo Yuan and his group in the core area.

So these people eventually moved closer and closer to the area where Luo Yuan was. But when they arrived, they found that the place was completely deserted. At that moment, the remaining human powerhouses were furious and frustrated by Luo Yuan's decision to abandon them so easily.

Although they didn't truly understand Luo Yuan's orders, they had indeed demonstrated unparalleled combat power under his command, even defeating all the factions from various forces in this border region. This made them very proud, and they even felt that they could boast about such achievements wherever they went in the future.

At least on this planet, lone wolves without any background still appear very inferior and lack confidence when facing powerful individuals from strong forces. This is because they are well aware that there is a natural difference in combat power between the strength of lone wolves and the personnel trained by those powerful forces.

Therefore, they do not have an advantage in battle. Even when members from various forces see these lone travelers, they will show contempt because they know what the situation is like. Luo Yuan has brought glory to these people, but he has not truly taken them seriously.

That's because everyone was fighting temporarily for their common interests. So when they encountered danger, they would naturally fall apart and quickly evacuate. These people couldn't blame Luo Yuan for anything, since Luo Yuan didn't owe them anything.

Instead, they were given a platform and the opportunity to obtain treasures that were usually difficult to access. However, they must leave now, otherwise, without Luo Yuan and the others' protection, they would most likely perish here under the attack of these monsters.

Therefore, the final result was that all the powerful individuals who remained there fled in all directions. Even though they knew there were some treasures that had not yet been found, it was no longer necessary, because their safety was the top priority.

As soon as Luo Yuan led a group of experts he had chosen out of the edge of the area, he could immediately sense how powerful the fighting force formed by the demonic beasts behind them was.

He also felt that it was a wise choice for him to be able to evacuate from inside, at least he would not be trapped by those monsters. However, Luo Yuan was not immediately tempted after he came out, because he could feel several powerful auras around him. It seemed that there were indeed many human experts waiting here.

Moreover, because Luo Yuan only brought out a small number of strong individuals, their strength appeared much weaker than before. This gave hope to those who were observing from the outside. They felt that if Luo Yuan still led his powerful forces out, they would be able to achieve their goal.

They might not yet have the strength to fight back, but now that Luo Yuan and his group have weakened so much, they have a real chance to take them down. So some powerful figures hiding in the vicinity no longer hide their identities and can just appear from nearby.

Of course, not all the powerful figures from all factions came out, because some people chose to observe and wait. They could not easily make a move before they understood everything. However, some powerful figures came out because they were born into powerful forces.

Therefore, they felt that their strength was sufficient, and coupled with Luo Yuan's previous display of powerful combat ability, they also felt that Luo Yuan was a very worthy opponent. So they hoped to defeat Luo Yuan in this battle, so that they could gain greater fame.

Chapter 851. Deterrence

These powerful figures who attacked from all directions were actually somewhat wary of Luo Yuan, because they didn't know how strong Luo Yuan had become. After all, in the previous battles, no one had been able to test Luo Yuan's strongest combat power.

Therefore, those people still had some worries in their hearts, because they feared that Luo Yuan's strength was far greater than theirs. In that case, when they attacked Luo Yuan, they would not be able to gain any benefits in the end, but would instead be controlled by Luo Yuan and his group, and all the things they had worked so hard to obtain would be taken back.

It is precisely for this reason that many of those who came out to attack were only doing so with a probing attitude. If they encountered some resistance, such as discovering that Luo Yuan's strength was greater than they had imagined, they would not hesitate to retreat and would no longer fight Luo Yuan.

Because wherever you are, the strong are respected. If Luo Yuan is much stronger than them, then it is only natural for Luo Yuan to occupy the treasures here. Even if Luo Yuan doesn't have a powerful background, his personal strength already represents everything. Therefore, those who came out to attack only dared to launch some attacks from a distance.

They dared not get too close to Luo Yuan and his group. Meanwhile, some powerful figures were watching from a distance, hoping to find out if Luo Yuan's fighting strength had really declined, or if the group that appeared here was only a small part of the original camp.

However, their combat power is definitely the strongest, because the strong people who can be personally brought out by Luo Yuan must be very powerful. Only after Luo Yuan has investigated and approved them can he possibly take them under his command. Although there are different forces on this planet, there are also some forces created by lone wolves.

Although they are not as powerful as those strong forces, their large numbers and the presence of some lone wolves have allowed them to improve their strength rapidly through various opportunities during their growth. As a result, their overall strength is quite good, although the differences in strength between individuals are very significant.

Regardless, one thing is certain: Luo Yuan's personal strength definitely surpasses that of most experts at the same level. In particular, Luo Yuan no longer deliberately concealed his level during the battle, which made more people realize that Luo Yuan had already broken through to the planetary level.

This means that Luo Yuan's true combat strength far exceeds his cultivation level. Logically speaking, Luo Yuan is now fully qualified to go to the central area for training, but he has not done so. Therefore, he probably wants to occupy and digest most of the resources in the edge area to improve his strength before going to the next area.

There are actually quite a few planetary-level powerhouses like Luo Yuan who have their own plans. However, most of them only wait in the peripheral areas for a while before heading to the central area. This is because some of the precious treasures in the peripheral areas still need some time to mature.

Furthermore, the level and quantity of treasures in the peripheral areas are incomparable to those in the central and core areas. For example, the source fruits that are very precious in the four regions of the peripheral areas are not so rare in the central areas.

Moreover, there are some resources in the middle zone that are of a higher level than those possessed by the Source Fruit, and they contain more special energy. However, Luo Yuan doesn't care about that, because in his view, since he can obtain all the resources here, there is no need to let them go.

After all, if it can improve his strength, then it is necessary to do so. As long as he can concentrate all the resources here, then after his combat power is improved, he will be able to have a foothold even if he goes to the central area. This includes the good subordinates that Luo Yuan has now subdued, although these people have not yet reached the planetary level in terms of strength.

However, after using some methods, they were able to fight against planetary-level powerhouses. Most importantly, they were very confident in their talent and command abilities. Luo Yuan decided to take these people to venture into the middle zone.

Then, when he obtains more treasures, he can share some with these people to help them improve their strength as quickly as possible. As long as Luo Yuan can use the cultivation resources in the wilderness to raise his strength to the star system level, he can apply to challenge the lord of this planet and become the new lord.

Then his subordinates can manage the entire planet for him. As long as Luo Yuan can control the planet, he will have a base in the universe. No matter what happens in the future, he can at least guarantee himself a stable supply of resources, and the powerful people on the planet can also do so.

Distributing Luo Yuan among different regions allows them to grow while also acquiring relevant information and resources for himself. The universe is simply too vast, especially such an unfamiliar one. Luo Yuan cannot explore it alone, nor does he have that much time.

His primary purpose in coming to this universe is to control its fundamental laws. Only after he controls the fundamental laws and will of this universe will he choose to restore them through certain means. At that time, he can completely replace the fundamental will of this universe with his own will.
