Chapter 904: Nurturing The Star Seed, Law Star River

Soul-echoes reverberated across the star system.

Whether they had been comprehending law or searching for Starfire Metal, everyone fled in a frantic rush.

Some were too slow to escape on their own, forcing True Gods like Gu Yuanming to intervene and help them escape.

The second eruption of the Star Essence Fire dwarfed the first, engulfing a radius of nearly three hundred thousand kilometres.

Once they reached a safe distance, many felt as though they had narrowly escaped death.

"Flare-ups of this size are incredibly rare, aren't they?"

"Let's ask Old Gu. He's been here the longest.”

Gu Yuanming frowned, "I've never witnessed anything like this. Normally, Star Essence Fire flare-ups fall into three categories."

"The smallest cover roughly ten thousand kilometers. Medium ones reach around fifty thousand kilometers. Even the largest I've ever seen never exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand kilometres."

"But this one stretches over at least three hundred thousand kilometers, several times larger than the biggest flare-up I've ever witnessed.”

Its size wasn't the only shocking part. The power it contained was also vastly greater.

Even a True God venturing into its depths would likely be flayed alive, if not killed outright.

Everyone exchanged bewildered looks.

"What on earth caused this?"

"How could a second flare-up erupt out of nowhere?”

"This doesn't make any sense... It's a dead star. How can it still unleash such terrifying power?"

Gu Yuanming gazed into the sea of blazing flames, his brows knitted together as Lin Moyu's figure surfaced in his mind.

At the very end, when Lin Moyu had been swallowed by the Star Essence Fire, he hadn't looked like someone facing certain death.

On the contrary, he had deliberately flown straight toward its core.

"Could it really have something to do with him...?" Gu Yuanming quietly shook his head, dismissing the thought.

Even he, a True God, wouldn't dare venture into the heart of the Star Essence Fire.

Lin Moyu was only a 1st tier Transcendent God. No matter how extraordinary he was, such a feat should have been impossible.

At the very center of the Star Essence Fire, the Star Seed rested in Lin Moyu's palm.

It pulsed with growing life force, far stronger than before.

Although it remained a long way from its former peak, it had already recovered considerably.

Joy flickered across Lin Moyu's face.

His idea had worked.

The law of undeath truly could restore life force to the Star Seed, allowing it to be nurtured once more.

If he could raise it to full maturity, he would gain the opportunity to evolve one of his planet-grade law arts into a star-grade one.

After the initial fusion, however, increasing a law art's fusion rate became extraordinarily difficult.

Treasures capable of improving fusion rate were priceless even within the greater world.

Lin Moyu knew he had stumbled upon an opportunity with astronomically low odds.

After a brief moment of thought, he stored the Star Seed within his soul world.

His soul main body released a mass of the law of undeath, using its purest life force to nourish the Star Seed continuously.

A white mass drifted through his soul world, containing only a tiniest trace of gray.

Life and death were inseparable aspects of the law of undeath.

No matter how refined it became, its death aspect could never be completely erased.

Lin Moyu compressed that death qi to the absolute minimum.

The white mass became fertile soil, while the Star Seed became a seedling rooted within it, steadily absorbing nourishment to restore its vitality and continue growing.

After storing away the Star Seed, Lin Moyu remained perfectly still.

The process of nurturing it had deepened his understanding of the law of undeath.

His soul main body slowly opened its eyes.

Outside the soul world, a magnificent river of stars materialised.

Brilliant and boundless, it resembled a galaxy suspended within the heavens.

Grey and white qi flowed together through the river, intertwined so completely that they could no longer be separated.

Countless tributaries branched away from it.

The law of undeath flowed through every one of them, with a single tiny tributary connected directly to Lin Moyu.

"Law star river..." Lin Moyu murmured.

He remembered Antares mentioning it before.

Every law possessed its own unique law star river.

From each law star river extended countless tributaries, every one representing a cultivator who had comprehended that particular law.

It made no difference whether they belonged to the human race or any other race.

The law star river itself belonged to the greater world and the greater world rune.

The tributaries, however, belonged to the cultivators.

A cultivator's task was to gradually seize complete control over their own tributary, advancing from one percent to one hundred percent mastery.

Only after achieving that would they enter the true law star river and begin mastering the true law star river.

Lin Moyu was currently like a small fish swimming through a tributary, steadily making his way toward the true law of undeath star river.

Every stretch he traversed represented the portion of the law he had mastered.

Previously, he had advanced two percent.

Now, with a single leap, he crossed another two percent.

His mastery of the law of undeath doubled from two percent to four percent.

At the same time, his soul underwent a tremendous transformation.

It skipped past the 1st tier Transcendent God realm entirely and ascended straight to the 3rd tier Transcendent God realm.

The talent tree swayed incessantly, pouring vast amounts of soul force into him.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Moyu's soul force was fully restored before surging to the 3rd tier Transcendent God realm.

His control over the law of undeath reached an entirely new level.

The qi mass nurturing the Star Seed grew denser, enriching its nourishment and accelerating the seed's recovery.

As his realm advanced, every one of his law arts became more powerful.

The undead army also advanced to the 3rd tier Transcendent God realm.

Although their exact combat strength had yet to be tested, Lin Moyu was confident that if he encountered a 7th tier Transcendent God, he would no longer be powerless.

He could overwhelm such an opponent through sheer numbers.

With Undead Gaze combined with Time Curse, a 4th tier Transcendent God could now be killed instantly.

As the undead army grew stronger, Lin Moyu's own defensive abilities rose accordingly.

Unfortunately, each law art could still only carry one percent of law, preventing them from unleashing their full potential.

This journey had yielded extraordinary rewards.

Not only had he obtained the Star Seed, but his overall strength had undergone a tremendous leap.

Lin Moyu was more than satisfied.

…

The flare-up gradually subsided. The flames disappeared, and the starry sky returned to its former tranquility.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over."

"Now we can continue with the law comprehension."

Unable to find any trace of Lin Moyu, Gu Yuanming couldn't help sighing, "What a pity..."

In his eyes, Lin Moyu had been exceptionally young and brimming with potential.

Yet now...

Suddenly, Gu Yuanming's eyes widened.

A figure shot out from the Star Essence Fire.

It was Lin Moyu.

He emerged completely unscathed. Not only had he survived without a single injury, but his aura had become vastly more powerful than before.

Even more astonishing, his cultivation had risen from 1st tier Transcendent God realm to 3rd tier Transcendent God realm.

This utterly defied reason. Gu Yuanming couldn't comprehend it. Neither could anyone else.

"How is he completely unharmed?"

"Impossible! If I had gone in there, I would've died!"

"Not only did he survive, but he advanced two whole tiers!"

"Did he obtain some incredible opportunity inside?"
