Devouring the starry sky and becoming a god

The light on the head of every Universe Master is exactly the same, without the slightest difference.

When the light gradually faded away, the true appearance was revealed.

I saw a world ring with an ancient shape appear in the hands of the great cosmic masters.

Looking at this seemingly ordinary ring, the venerable masters of the universe all showed strange expressions in their eyes, and they had no idea what Ye Yun meant.

However, when they explored the ring with their consciousness and saw the massive amount of resources stored in the ring, they were all shocked.

A large part of them were resources that they had never even heard of before, and even the information they had learned did not contain any information about these resources.

However, they can still clearly sense the fluctuations in the aura and the levels of power contained in these resources.

Obviously, even in the Human Alliance's treasury in the past, these resources were not public, and required extremely high levels to have the authority to exchange them.

In other words, even the Lord of the Universe was not qualified to redeem these resources.

Feeling the reserves of many resources in the world ring, the great cosmic masters present have gained greater confidence in attacking the Lord of the Universe.

Resources are very important in many cases. Not only can they help them reduce the time for polishing, but some of the energy in the resources can also help them practice.

Not to mention resources such as improving comprehension, talent, compatibility, perception of laws, etc., all of which are excellent assistants in cultivation.

Even though there were some shortcomings before, now with the help of these resources, they are more confident in reaching the realm of Lord of the Universe.

Ye Yun waited for a while, then smiled and said,
“These are my greeting gifts to you all! I hope you can work harder in the next elimination rounds and strive to achieve better results!

There are only one thousand people in this knockout round, and the most traditional one-on-one battle rules are adopted. The winner advances and the loser is eliminated directly.

Therefore, every battle is crucial to you. Once you lose, it means that your journey in this battle of strong men has come to an end.

According to this rule, it shouldn't take too many rounds to decide the top 100 or even the top 10.

According to my idea, in this battle between the strongest universe masters, I will provide some resource support to you, the thousand of you now.

Only the top ten will receive the final reward, and those in between will not receive any other rewards."

After hearing Ye Yun’s announcement of the competition system, everyone nodded without any surprise or questions.

In fact, Ye Yun's giving them resources as a reward at this moment was actually beyond their expectations.

After all, the competition has not yet reached the finish line. Logically speaking, everyone is in the same situation, so there is no room for rewards.

But they still underestimated how rich Ye Yun was. Obviously, such funding was nothing to Ye Yun.

As for the fact that only the top ten will receive the rewards, this is completely predictable, just like the previous competitions in various realms.

Everyone's initial goal was to get into the top ten, but they didn't expect Ye Yun to give them a little "encouragement" halfway through.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Yun smiled and said,

"Okay, since no one has any questions, you still have one last day to rest. After one day, the elimination round of the Universe Supreme Power Battle will officially begin!"

As soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, all the cosmic masters present were teleported away at the same time and returned to their respective lounges.

Some of them had just finished their last competition and were lucky enough to make it into the final list of one thousand people, so they naturally needed time to rest.

In comparison, those Universe Masters who advanced early with records of 10-0 or 10-1 had more time.

Not only did he have enough time to adjust his condition and improve his shortcomings, but he also watched the combat performances of other cosmic masters in the middle of the battle, making full preparations for his subsequent battles.

It can be said that from this point of view, these cosmic masters who advanced first undoubtedly have a considerable advantage.

These advantages were won by their own outstanding performance and strong combat capability, and no one can point out any problems with them.

However, how to use one's own advantages to open up the situation for subsequent battles depends on the performance of each Universe Lord.

Of course, it is not to say that these cosmic masters who advanced subsequently are completely at a disadvantage.

The situation within this group is still relatively complicated.

For some people, they lost several battles which were quite regrettable. They were extremely tense battles and they were defeated in the end.

So, although the promotion is a little slower, the actual combat power is no different from that of the first echelon. Once the battle begins, anyone has a chance to win.

And there is another point, those cosmic masters who were promoted earlier do not have these benefits.

This benefit means more fighting opportunities and matches.

After all, the first group of Universe Masters who advanced won all ten games, which means they only fought ten battles in total.

But the more subsequent Universe Masters advance, the more battle fields there will be.

Although the number of victories is still ten, the extra defeats can also be a source of experience for them.

Moreover, such experience of failure will even make their thinking and understanding more profound.

For the powerful people, they are not afraid of setbacks. As long as setbacks cannot defeat them, they can become a boost to their improvement.

On the contrary, if everything goes smoothly and you don't encounter any unexpected situations, you will be more likely to suffer greater blows and failures.

Some problems that have been discovered are actually no longer problems. The most worrying thing is that the problems remain hidden and eventually become hidden dangers on one’s own path. Their outbreak at a critical moment will have fatal consequences.

Therefore, more battles have given these cosmic masters more combat experience and the opportunity to sort out their own abilities.

Many people should be able to summarize their own shortcomings from these experiences and make timely adjustments, which can improve their strength and combat effectiveness to a higher level.

Of course, in a real battle, it is impossible to compare all the cards and decide the winner directly. In a real battle, both sides need to exert their 100% concentration and combat power. A small negligence may lead to a complete loss.

Therefore, in Ye Yun’s opinion, at the current stage, those Universe Masters who advanced first do have some strength advantages and will have a greater chance of winning the battle.

But this does not mean that those Universe Masters who advanced later have no chance. As long as the timing is right and they perform well, they still have the hope and possibility of winning.

In fact, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, or who are finally ranked in the top ten, it doesn’t make much difference to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun’s expectation for these cosmic masters is naturally to hope that they can go one step further and reach the level of the Lord of the Universe.

Only if this is achieved successfully will it be possible to discuss the future.

If you can't even do this, then no matter what you say, it's meaningless.

Therefore, the top ten list is not important. Ye Yun just hopes to discover those who he thinks have potential in actual battles and give them more appropriate and fitting guidance, so as to increase the chances of the birth of the Lord of the Universe.

The day passed quickly, and the one thousand cosmic masters who advanced to the knockout round returned to the square in high spirits.

Although each Universe Lord has a different preparation time and a different grasp of the battle.

But what Ye Yun saw in their eyes was the glow of confidence.

It is obvious that no matter who their opponent is, nothing can stop their desire to move forward.

Anyway, they have come to this point and are considered to be among the top 1,000 of the Human Alliance's true Universe Masters. They also have the strength and confidence to support them.

If you fail, you don’t lose anything, but if you win, you totally gain.

Based on the scale of one thousand people, the one-on-one elimination match only needs three rounds to be completed, and only one hundred and twenty-five winners will remain.

Because there is no reward for the top 100, 25 seeded players will be selected and directly advance to the top 50.

The remaining one hundred people went through two battles to decide the remaining twenty-five places in the top fifty.

After this step, the top fifty will be divided into ten groups, with five people in each group. The five people will fight each other, and the one with more wins will get a place in the top ten.

Those who are divided into the top 100 group and are dissatisfied with the division will have a chance to challenge the seeded players. If they win, the two sides will swap positions. If they lose, they will be eliminated directly.

This competition system may sound complicated, but it is actually still a normal competition system that emphasizes one's own combat effectiveness.

As long as he can win every battle in front of him, he will be able to enter the top ten no matter how the competition system changes.

Before the top ten matches, all were one-on-one direct elimination matches, so every battle was extremely crucial.

The cosmic masters present understood the rules of the upcoming knockout rounds in just a moment, and naturally they had no objections to such rules.

In a knockout round like this, apart from the slightly different opponents, everything else is exactly the same, and it all depends on your own strength.

Each of them fully recognized the matching results of the virtual universe system, and naturally would not raise any objections at this time.

However, although the matching of the virtual universe system this time is still based on strength in the general direction, it also has to follow a smaller principle.

That is, the group of people who advance first will not meet in the first two rounds of battles, and will be matched with those who advance later in the order.

This can be considered as a bit of benefit for them, making it worth their hard work in winning all ten games.

When the virtual universe system was open for matching, the one thousand universe masters present all received information about their opponents.

King Huankong looked at the virtual screen in his hand, on which a person's figure and name gradually appeared, from illusion to reality.

When King Huankong saw this blurry figure, he felt extremely familiar with it. The next moment, when he saw it clearly, he immediately reacted.

I saw this figure, with a burly build, explosive muscles all over his body, and the iconic double horns on his head, indicating his identity as a minotaur.

This burly minotaur is none other than King Huankong’s teacher, the representative figure of the Cosmic Chaos Monument who has been stationed in Chaos City all year round - Venerable Cosmic Bull!
After realizing the identity of his first round opponent, King Huankong couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his resolute face.

Although I know that in such a Universe Master level competition, it is normal to encounter familiar people because of the small number of people.

But what King Huankong did not expect was that in this first battle of the knockout stage, he was actually matched with his teacher, Venerable Zhouniu, which really made King Huankong a little unsure of how to deal with it.

After all, according to the rules of the knockout rounds, anyone who loses in the first few rounds will be eliminated directly, and there is no possibility of mercy.

King Huankong was not afraid of fighting with his teacher, but the outcome of the battle was something he was unwilling to face for the time being.

Venerable Zhouniu has been preparing for this battle of the strongest for a long time, many years of preparation, and hopes to shine in this battle of the strongest.

If we stop here, it would be a bit regretful.

And deep in King Huankong's heart, he also hopes to continue moving forward, but facing his teacher, he feels a little conflicted.

At this moment, King Huankong suddenly heard a familiar and hearty voice.
"Hu Yun, don't be stressed!"

From the direction where the voice came from, Venerable Zhou Niu strode over with his signature smile on his face.

Patting King Huankong's shoulder gently, Venerable Zhouniu said in a deep voice,
"To be honest, it's only now that I realize that I thought too simply before the competition started!"

Sighing slowly, Venerable Zhou Niu continued,

“I thought that after years of hard training and Ye Yun’s improvement of the cultivation method of the Chaos Monument of the Universe, I had stepped into the level of a cosmic overlord. I should definitely have a place in this battle of the strong.

But after the actual battle, I realized that there are always people better than you.

The universe is too vast, and many heroes have gathered in the Human Alliance. There are too many strong players here!
To be honest, being able to get to this point is indeed due to some luck, but it is also probably the limit of my ability!
So Hu Yun, in the next battle, just do your best and show all your strength, so that I can see how far you have come when you use all your strength now!" (End of this chapter)
