Swallowed Star: Copy God

Such a change, whether it was Star River Master or Prison Wing Master participating in the battle, or the strongest in the universe watching, none of them were prepared for it.

Although Prison Wing Master didn't expect such an exaggerated situation to form from his new insights into the path, he didn't miss the perfect opportunity he had created, thanks to his years of combat experience.

Top experts compete for a sliver of advantage. Now that Prison Wing Master had finally gained a slight advantage in such a collision, how could he possibly give it up?

Therefore, the towering, giant, verdant tree instantly became more vibrant under the energy infusion of Prison Wing Master, its inner vitality seeming ready to bloom from within.

As the energy was poured in, Prison Wing Master suddenly had a feeling of divine inspiration. Perhaps when this great tree fully bloomed, it would be the key to his path, breaking through to the strongest in the universe!

This feeling flashed through Prison Wing Master's mind, but he remembered it deeply.

If he weren't in the middle of such a fierce battle, Prison Wing Master would have liked to carefully comprehend this feeling, remember it, and get closer to his dream of becoming the strongest in the universe.

With Prison Wing Master fully focused, Star River Master immediately felt immense pressure.

That thick, towering green tree was Prison Wing Master's strongest aid and reliance, but for Star River Master, it felt incredibly oppressive, making it difficult for him to maintain his own starry spectacle.

Under such pressure, everyone was well aware that Star River Master had no hope of victory at this point.

Prison Wing Master, holding a significant advantage and at a crucial moment to advance to the top ten, would not allow himself to make the slightest mistake.

And the actual result did not exceed everyone's expectations.

With the help of the vitality tree, Prison Wing Master had been suppressing Star River Master from beginning to end.

Although Star River Master relied on his experience and tenacity to barely hold on, even displaying a rare and excellent combat state,

it was all meaningless. In the end, Prison Wing Master still forcefully defeated Star River Master, taking the last ticket to the top ten.

Thus, the universe master-level battle for the top ten in this competition concluded, and all ten spots were filled without any controversy.

Looking at Star River Master and Prison Wing Master returning to their seats to recover their divine power, Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh inwardly,

'This is a dimensional reduction attack.'

Saying it was a dimensional reduction attack wasn't entirely accurate, but it could represent Star River Master's situation at the moment.

Although Prison Wing Master was still a top-tier fifth-level universe master, his unique personal path was already beyond the level of a universe master.

Even that special change of vitality blooming in hell faintly had a hint of the origin of life and death.

Although this bud was only a trace, and it was unknown whether it could continue to sprout,

that little bit was enough for Prison Wing Master to be nearly invincible at the universe master stage.

In other words, Prison Wing Master, who had comprehended this, had undergone a tremendous change in his position and strength level among the top ten compared to before.

Now, among the ten fifth-level universe masters who advanced to the top ten, plus Star River Master, who was just one step away, to be honest, Prison Wing Master and Star River Master were originally at the bottom.

Although not definitively at the very bottom, they were definitely not related to the top level.

Before the competition, no one expected Star River Master to be in such an awkward position, but his own poor performance couldn't deny this perception.

But now, with Prison Wing Master's strong victory over Star River Master in this battle, the structure of the top ten had undergone a new change.

Prison Wing Master, who had comprehended the blooming of vitality within hell, had undoubtedly joined the ranks of the truly strongest universe masters.

Compared to masters such as Purgatory Master, Nine Nether Master, and Golden Horn Master, who had been strong all the way, there was not much difference.

All of these people had grasped their own unique path at the universe master stage and had traveled a certain distance on that path.

Grasping one's own path is like stepping one foot into the next realm, and the transformation it brings is, of course, beyond what the universe master realm can resist.

Purgatory Master, Golden Horn Master, Nine Nether Master, and the others still had the qualifications to compete with Prison Wing Master, but existences like Crystal Flame Master and Black Lotus Master, who were still exploring their own paths, were clearly inferior.

The various universe masters had different psychological changes regarding this change in the top ten structure.

But no matter what, everyone knew that the upcoming top ten ranking battle would be even more exciting and would definitely far exceed the previous stages of the battle.

Although in the qualifying round, the various universe masters had more or less fought against each other and had certain victory-loss relationships,

those things had only reference significance after advancing to the top ten.

In the actual battle, more depended on the performance within the battle and the new control over one's own and the opponent's strength.

Only those who could do their details well had the possibility of going further.

Ye Yun gave Star River Master and Prison Wing Master a certain amount of rest time. After a while, Ye Yun stood up, looked around the audience, and announced loudly,

"Thank you, Prison Wing Master and Star River Master, for bringing us a wonderful battle!

Both of you have the strength to advance to the top ten, but here, according to the results, congratulations to Prison Wing Master for successfully advancing to the top ten and getting the last spot!

Star River Master, don't be discouraged even though you lost this time. With your strength and accumulation, the road ahead is still long, and you will have the opportunity to continue competing sooner or later!"

Ye Yun looked at Star River Master with a hint of encouragement and expectation, which moved Star River Master's heart.

Star River Master knew that his performance in recent years had, to a large extent, disappointed Ye Yun's expectations.

The guidance Ye Yun gave him back then pointed out his problems incisively and planned a clear direction for his future path.

The 'direction' here means that Ye Yun did not interfere with the Star River Lord's own precise path selection, but rather hoped, through a kind of guidance, that the Star River Lord could feel the path that belonged solely to him.

Honestly, if he had advanced according to the general route given by Ye Yun, the Star River Lord felt that his future prospects should be very good, as long as he was stimulated by the massive inheritance within the Human Alliance.

Unfortunately, the Star River Lord at that time was still too arrogant, always thinking that he had the best grasp of his own situation.

Looking back now, the Star River Lord felt that he was too naive. He clearly had inferior realm and vision compared to Ye Yun, but he gave up the opportunity to listen to Ye Yun's advice, which led to the stagnation of his own strength.

Even so, Ye Yun was still willing to encourage him and did not give up on him, which made the Star River Lord feel a little embarrassed and even more deeply moved.

Facing Ye Yun's gaze, the Star River Lord nodded heavily.

The Star River Lord didn't say much in the way of guarantees, but he set a death goal for himself in his heart.

After the end of this Universe Lord level powerhouse battle, the Star River Lord would take the many insights from this powerhouse battle and enter a period of seclusion.

During this period of seclusion, the Star River Lord was not saying that he would wait until he broke through to the Universe Supreme Master before emerging, as that would be too unrealistic.

What the Star River Lord wanted was to formally determine his path to becoming a Universe Supreme Master.

Now, through fighting with the major Universe Lords in this powerhouse battle, the Star River Lord actually had a vague route and prototype for his next path.

Therefore, the Star River Lord was very certain that as long as he secluded himself and studied hard, then there was a great possibility that he could open his path to the Universe Supreme Master, at least to the point where the Golden Horn Lord and the Prison Feather Lord were now.

At that time, the Star River Lord was confident that there wouldn't be too much of a gap between him and the Golden Horn Lord and others in terms of stages. At most, it would be a comparison of how much time it would take to complete his path.

Ye Yun glanced at the Star River Lord and understood all of the Star River Lord's plans.

Ye Yun didn't feel surprised that the Star River Lord could have such an understanding. Such reflection and understanding was not too difficult for a fifth-order peak Universe Lord.

Otherwise, even if these people had extremely high talent, it would be difficult for them to grow to where they were today.

The previous Star River Lord was only briefly blinded by his early achievements and the super-strong battle power increase brought by the fusion secret technique.

Now, after the fog in front of the Star River Lord's eyes was cleared by repeated real-world blows, it was not difficult for the Star River Lord to suddenly wake up.

With the previous stimulation from the Nine Nether Lord and the Golden Horn Lord, plus the further stimulation from the Prison Feather Lord on the spot, the Star River Lord's upcoming seclusion journey should not have too many problems.

At this stage, Ye Yun did not intend to provide any assistance to the Star River Lord, whether it was in terms of resources or inheritance, there would be no special treatment.

All the Star River Lord could get was the fixed reward for achieving the top 100 in this Universe Lord powerhouse battle.

With the Star River Lord's current situation, what he needed was not any reward, but reflection and exploration of his own path forward.

In this process, the role that resources, inheritance, and so on could play was very small.

Only when the Star River Lord truly understood his own path and got on the right track, then Ye Yun would provide support in due course, so that the Star River Lord's next path could be smoother and faster.

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then continued to speak loudly,

"This Universe Lord-level powerhouse battle is the final match of the first powerhouse battle of our Human Alliance."

"From the preliminary round robin to the subsequent knockout rounds and top ten promotion rounds, everyone has contributed wonderful performances in every battle."

"And through layers of battles and selections, finally, ten powerful individuals who have withstood the layers of pressure have advanced to the final top ten ranking battle!"

"They are the Dark Lord, the Peng Gong Lord, the Purgatory Lord, the Crystal Flame Lord, the Golden Horn Lord, the Black Lotus Lord, the Nine Nether Lord, the Eight Divine Spider, as well as the Green Fiend Lord and the Prison Feather Lord!"

As Ye Yun's voice fell, both the audience and the Human Alliance people watching the broadcast burst into warm applause and cheers.

Obviously, in the previous many fierce battles, the performances of the major Universe Lords were actually very good.

But it was precisely because everyone performed so well that these ten fifth-order peak Universe Lords, who ultimately advanced to the top ten, seemed to have greater gold content.

Although there was an upset like the Star River Lord being eliminated, the strength and status of each of these ten fifth-order peak Universe Lords on the top ten list were completely beyond doubt.

Whether it was the veteran powerhouses like the Dark Lord, the Nine Nether Lord, and the Golden Horn Lord, or the strong newcomers like the Purgatory Lord, the Eight Divine Spider, and the Green Fiend Lord, everyone impressed the crowd with their excellent performances.

There was no controversy about the top ten list, no matter where it was placed. This was the result of summarizing battle after battle, and everyone had their own unique strengths.

Although the Star River Lord's supporters felt a little regret and surprise at the Star River Lord's elimination, everyone who had watched all the matches knew that the Star River Lord's performance and strength really had a visible gap compared to those top ten players.

Such a gap could often dominate the victory at the final moment in actual combat.

The matches that the Star River Lord lost were all defeated head-on, and there was not much to regret.

Through the continuous adjustment of the competition rules from the preliminary round to the knockout round and the top ten promotion round, Ye Yun was very satisfied with the final top ten list of the current Human Alliance Universe Lord stage.

At least, under such a competition arrangement, all the Universe Lords who truly had the strength had the opportunity to advance to the final top ten, and would not be accidentally eliminated due to premature collisions.
