While Luo Yuan was cultivating in seclusion, the entire universe had already descended into chaos.
The original source of this chaos was the Universe Origin Will. This was an outcome it had deliberately brought about through the Cosmic Rules.
However, after Luo Yuan had brazenly eliminated other powerhouses and devoured their Origin Force, the top Hunters had immediately begun to act. They usually kept a very low profile, but Luo Yuan's change to the situation had put pressure on them.
After all, Hunters were inherently enemies. Once they embarked on this path of devouring Origin Force, it meant they could no longer turn back.
Thus, they would ultimately have to fight other Hunters. Only by successfully devouring all the Origin Force their opponents possessed could they become more powerful beings.
In addition, many powerhouses had later followed Luo Yuan's example, further corrupting the prevailing atmosphere throughout the universe. Their actions had finally drawn the attention of the leaders of those powerful factions.
After all, what these leaders wanted most was to maintain the universe's orderly development. As long as it operated according to the rules they had established, everything was normal.
If anyone wanted to disrupt this balance, they had to act to eliminate them. Thus, these factions began concentrating their efforts on eliminating the Hunters who stood out the most.
What they did not know, however, was that Luo Yuan, who had sparked this upheaval, was now entirely occupied with cultivating in seclusion. He could therefore avoid being targeted this time altogether.
After all, this campaign to encircle and eradicate the Hunters was so vast that even some powerhouses who usually performed exceptionally well had been caught up in it.
Even some geniuses who had come from outside to explore had been eliminated in one of these encirclement campaigns.
