The fighting continued, but fewer and fewer geniuses were able to hold on. Although the differences in their strength were not very great, they knew full well that those who could keep going generally had stronger willpower and greater reserves of energy.
After all, everyone wanted better results in this battle, because the better they performed, the greater the benefits they would receive. As for becoming the final victor, winning the Universe Controller's favor, and becoming his Inheritor, so much time and so many battles between geniuses had passed without a single true Inheritor ever emerging.
Thus, anyone intelligent knew that the requirements were extremely high. Moreover, whether they could ultimately succeed depended entirely on the Universe Controller's wishes. Even if they really won in the end, they might not become the sole Inheritor. There was hope, but it was very slim.
Since that was the case, why bother holding on here for so long? Once they had displayed their greatest strength and every means at their disposal, they had already achieved their original purpose. As for who would ultimately win, that depended on who could last until the end.

Integrating the cultivation systems of different powerhouses was more convenient and practical, because these powerful cultivation methods had only achieved their current results after countless years of accumulation by powerhouses from different universes.
Luo Yuan felt that if he could take the strengths of every powerhouse and incorporate them into
