Chapter 903: Star Seed, Damaged Supreme Treasure

Amid a chorus of startled cries, countless people hastily retreated.

When a star died, it transformed into Star Essence Fire, prone to violent flare-ups from time to time.

The largest eruptions could sweep across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, while even the smallest could engulf tens of thousands.

Each eruption unleashed torrents of blazing fire with terrifying force, forcing anyone comprehending the law of fire to flee.

Gu Yuanming immediately reached for Lin Moyu.

To his surprise, he grabbed only empty space.

Lin Moyu had already unfurled his Deathwings, shot past him, and flown straight toward the erupting Star Essence Fire.

Gu Yuanming's expression changed drastically, but he didn't dare pursue.

Even he had no intention of colliding with the raging flames.

The instant the Star Essence Fire erupted, Lin Moyu sensed the faint aura of life within it grow slightly stronger.

Without hesitation, he spread his Deathwings, overtook Gu Yuanming, and charged forward.

Gu Yuanming stomped his foot in frustration before giving up and retreating.

Someone nearby sneered.

"Old Gu, you've done enough. Someone like him is destined to die. There's no point trying to persuade him."

"Exactly. You've warned countless people over the years. How many ever listened?"

"Arrogant fools deserve whatever fate they bring upon themselves."

Gu Yuanming sighed helplessly, "Saving even one life is worth it. After all, we're all members of the human race.”

His gaze remained fixed on Lin Moyu as the young man disappeared into the sea of flames.

Just as he resigned himself to the inevitable, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

As a True God, his eyesight was exceptional.

Even through the blazing inferno, he clearly saw Lin Moyu enveloped in white light, completely unharmed.

"He's... actually fine." Gu Yuanming was stunned.

He knew better than anyone how scary the Star Essence Fire was.

Even with his mastery of the law of fire, he would still suffer great injuries if swallowed by it.

Yet Lin Moyu remained completely unaffected.

Not only that, he even accelerated his speed

In the blink of an eye, he traversed several hundred kilometers, plunging deep into the Star Essence Fire until he vanished from Gu Yuanming's sight.

Stars were enormous, dwarfing ordinary inhabited planets.

The largest could equal tens of thousands of inhabited planets combined.

Although this star had long since perished, leaving behind only a corpse, its sheer size still rivaled that of an ordinary inhabited planet.

It possessed no physical form; only endless, blazing flames infused with the law of fire powerful enough to injure even True Gods.

Entering the endless inferno, Lin Moyu was completely surrounded by the Star Essence Fire.

Yet the flames that could threaten True Gods failed to leave so much as a scratch on him.

Standing within the heart of the Star Essence Fire, he immediately sensed an incomparably denser concentration of the law of fire, nearly approaching law materialization.

For people specializing in the law of fire, Star Essence Fire was an invaluable treasure, allowing them to greatly accelerate their comprehension of the law.

Few realized, however, that the true opportunity lay within Star Essence Fire itself.

There, the concentration of the law of fire was many times greater, enabling comprehension at a speed far beyond what was possible from the outside.

Unfortunately, almost no one possessed the ability to survive within it.

Lin Moyu had no interest in comprehending the law of fire.

He understood that pursuing too many paths only diluted one's progress.

Unless he one day attained an incredibly long lifespan like Antares and could study other laws simply to pass the time, there was no reason to divide his attention.

What truly interested him was the faint aura of life hidden within the Star Essence Fire.

Life born from death…

It bore an uncanny resemblance to his own law of undeath.

The recent eruption had strengthened that faint aura of life, allowing him to perceive it with far greater clarity.

Like a beacon in an endless sea of flames, it guided him unerringly toward its source.

Passing through layer after layer of blazing fire, Lin Moyu finally reached the very center of the Star Essence Fire.

Here, the law of fire was several times stronger than outside, and its destructive power had reached the 3rd tier True God realm.

The flames did not merely burn the flesh; they scorched the soul itself.

Yet with Lin Moyu's defenses, even attacks at the 3rd tier True God realm posed no threat.

The flames here had turned a brilliant blue, almost identical to the Starfire flames he had encountered before.

At the very center floated a tiny object radiating the faint aura of life.

It was no larger than a fingernail and resembled a seed.

Lin Moyu immediately activated Detection.

[Star Seed (damaged): a mysterious treasure born at the heart of a star, with a birth rate of less than one in a hundred thousand. It can increase the fusion rate of a planet-grade law art and may even elevate it into star-grade law art. However, because the star was destroyed, the Star Seed has been damaged, leaving its effects greatly diminished.]

A flicker of astonishment appeared in Lin Moyu's eyes.

The extraordinarily faint aura of life hidden within the Star Essence Fire actually belonged to a Star Seed—a treasure capable of increasing the fusion rate of law arts.

"A damaged Star Seed… it can still increase the fusion rate."

He carefully picked up the fingernail-sized seed, immediately sensing its fragile aura of life more clearly.

Its aura of life was so weak it seemed as though it could be extinguished at any moment.

Yet despite its frailty, it possessed astonishing resilience, as if it had stubbornly endured for countless years.

Its tenacity painted a picture in Lin Moyu's mind.

Across the greater world, countless stars filled the starry sky.

Within a select few, extraordinary treasures were nurtured over endless ages, and the Star Seed was one of them.

A probability of less than one in a hundred thousand—vanishingly small.

Yet, against all odds, it appeared.

Given enough time, it would have matured naturally into a complete Star Seed, a supreme treasure capable of transforming planet-grade law arts into star-grade ones.

Countless powerhouses would have fought to obtain it.

But fate had other plans.

Before it could mature, the star was destroyed, abruptly ending its growth.

Unable to complete its transformation, it could only cling to existence within the Star Essence Fire, struggling to survive.

It refused to perish.

But unwillingness alone could not change anything.

After surviving for countless years, it had finally reached the end of its road.

In its current state, it could barely display any of its former power.

Originally, it might have transformed a planet-grade law art into a star-grade one.

Now, even increasing the fusion rate by ten percent would be difficult, let alone upgrading a planet-grade law art to a star-grade one.

That was nothing more than wishful thinking.

"What a pity." Lin Moyu sighed.

To discover something with such an infinitesimal chance of existing, only to find it damaged...

Should he consider himself fortunate, or simply unlucky?

"Still... better than nothing.”

Just as he was about to consume the Star Seed to slightly improve a planet-grade law art, he suddenly paused.

His eyes lit up as a thought flashed through his mind.

"A treasure nurtured by a star… Damaged... yet still containing a trace of life…”

"It hasn't completely died. It still possesses a trace of life force."

"What if I use the law of undeath to nurture it…"

The idea took root almost instantly.

The law of undeath embodied both life and death.

Within ultimate life lay the seed of death, while within absolute death remained an enduring spark of life.

Its nature seemed perfectly suited to the Star Seed.

The destruction of the star had nearly annihilated it.

Yet amid that overwhelming destruction, it had preserved a final thread of life.

It was almost a perfect embodiment of the essence of the law of undeath.

Without any hesitation, Lin Moyu decided to try.

Even if it failed, he had nothing to lose.

The gray-and-white aw of undeath coiled around his palm.

Gray represented death. White represented life.

With precise control, Lin Moyu suppressed the death aspect to its absolute minimum, leaving only pure life.

The life force of the Imperishable Law gently enveloped the Stellar Tinder.

The moment it enveloped the Star Seed, the tiny seed trembled violently.

A dazzling blue radiance burst forth.

At the same instant, the Star Essence Fire erupted once again, expanding far beyond its previous eruption.

"A second eruption! Retreat!"

"Fall back!"

The expressions of the people around the perimeter changed dramatically, and they fled at top speed.
