Chapter 1822: 1822 **Chapter 1822: The Origin of the Mysterious Iron Secret Realm** Lin Moyu felt both pain and joy. From head to toe, inside and out, every inch of his body endured intense pain every second. This pain reached his soul and was unavoidable. Fortunately, Lin Moyu had long been accustomed to pain. Although his brows were tightly knit, he could still endure it. The red flames were formed by ancient runes, using the essence of mysterious iron as fuel, and their terrifying nature was unimaginable. Even with his full effort to drive the Law of Undeath and his 100% control, he could barely maintain a relative balance. He felt somewhat fortunate that he had come here after becoming a Lesser God Sovereign. If he had come earlier, without 100% control over the law and with the life force not as effective as it was now, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the burning of the red flames. His physical body continuously improved in strength through destruction and repair. Compared to the previous method of using iron powder for cultivation, the improvement speed was faster, but it was also more dangerous. Feeling the improvement in his physical body, Lin Moyu constantly gained insights, "For most people, using iron powder to cultivate the physical body to the sixth stage of the God King realm is the limit." "No wonder the path of body refining has declined; it is indeed too difficult." "I wonder how the cultivators of ancient times refined their physical bodies. They must have had their own methods." "After all, this method of forced improvement is not suitable for everyone." Lin Moyu felt that apart from himself and cultivators who mastered the Law of Life, others couldn’t use the red flames for body refining. The red flames were so terrifying that even God Sovereigns would find them troublesome. Using the power of the Law Star River might disperse the red flames, but the physical body would be severely damaged in the process. As for Lesser God Sovereigns and God Kings, encountering the red flames would almost certainly mean death. Ten days later, his physical body improved again, reaching the seventh stage of the God King realm. At this point, Lin Moyu found that the damage from the red flames had weakened significantly. The life force began to gain the upper hand, with the healing speed surpassing the destruction speed of the red flames. Lin Moyu had a sudden insight and withdrew some of the life force, allowing the two forces to continue maintaining balance. The physical body needed to grow through continuous destruction and repair, and the simplest way was to maintain balance. Lin Moyu continued to enjoy the pain brought by the red flames, finding joy in the pain. Sometimes, Lin Moyu felt he had a tendency towards masochism. It seemed that since he started cultivating, he had always had this problem. To become stronger, he constantly self-harmed, not knowing how many times he had voluntarily been killed. Thinking about it was heart-wrenching. Twenty days later, his physical body reached the eighth stage of the God King realm. The damage from the red flames weakened again, and Lin Moyu voluntarily reduced the life force, continuing to maintain balance. "The effect of the red flames is getting weaker. I estimate that reaching the ninth stage of the God King realm is the limit." "For the final step, I need to find another method." Lin Moyu’s goal was to elevate his physical body to the Lesser God Sovereign realm. When he advanced to the God Sovereign realm, his physical body would also advance to the God Sovereign realm, achieving a perfect advancement. If he couldn’t achieve a perfect advancement, all his efforts would be significantly diminished in meaning. His gaze turned towards the depths of the iron powder red clouds. Although he couldn’t see it, he could feel that it was the center of the red clouds. There, he might find the answer. The body refining continued, and thirty days later, Lin Moyu’s entire body shone with golden light. The golden light enveloped his entire body like armor. He had finally reached the ninth stage of the God King realm. At this level, his physical body was already comparable to many peak God Sovereigns. After his physical body reached the ninth stage of the God King realm, the red flames completely lost their effect. Even if Lin Moyu stood in the red flames, letting them burn, they wouldn’t cause any harm. Now, it had been 110 days since he entered the secret realm. He was just one step away from his goal. Relying on his intuition, Lin Moyu flew towards the depths of the red clouds. The iron powder became denser, completely blocking his vision. Even using the Eye of the Soul, he couldn’t see anything. He could only rely on his intuition to find the direction. Fortunately, Lin Moyu often dealt with ancient runes and was very familiar with their aura. In his judgment, the existence in the depths of the red clouds should be a fragment of an ancient rune. As long as he followed the aura of the ancient rune, he wouldn’t go wrong. **Getting Closer!** The aura of the ancient rune became stronger, and Lin Moyu knew he was on the right path. The moment he emerged from the mist, Lin Moyu felt a sudden clarity. This was a space spanning tens of thousands of meters, with no iron powder and no red clouds. At its center was a star, a burning star. The entire star emitted a red light, releasing a terrifying high temperature. Standing here, even a God Sovereign would be melted. A huge suction force emanated from the star, pulling Lin Moyu towards it. It was this force that formed the iron powder red clouds by drawing a circle as a prison. Lin Moyu’s eyes revealed shock as he saw the essence of the star through the Eye of the Soul. "It’s not just a star; there are other stars as well." "I understand now. So this is how the mysterious iron came to be." Lin Moyu finally understood the origin of the Mysterious Iron Secret Realm. When the ancient rune evolved the secret realm, a star happened to enter it, becoming part of the secret realm. Along with the star, other stars also entered, and one of these stars was entirely made of iron. The high temperature of the star completely refined the iron star into mysterious iron. During the refining process, the iron star exploded, and some ordinary iron... The ancient rune shrank the star, retaining only its essence, making the star’s temperature even more terrifying. At the same time, the ancient rune caused intense vibrations, forming the structure of the iron powder red clouds. Through the interaction between the star and the ancient rune, after countless years of evolution, the Mysterious Iron Secret Realm was finally formed. Now, the ancient rune had merged with the star, and the entire star was vibrating at an astonishing frequency. Lin Moyu couldn’t imagine how terrifying this star was. Even with his physical body at the ninth stage of the God King realm, he couldn’t guarantee his safety. What surprised Lin Moyu even more was that he saw a white light in the deepest part of the star. "A white dwarf star!" Lin Moyu thought of the upgraded version of an ordinary star, the rare white dwarf star. There were no white dwarf stars in the human star domain. There used to be, but because white dwarf stars were too dangerous, they were moved out of the human star domain by the God Sovereigns. The star before him seemed to be transitioning into a white dwarf star. Antares had mentioned that a star was not the end; it could continue to upgrade. The direction of the upgrade was the white dwarf star. Not only had Antares said this, but it was also confirmed during a long conversation with Holy Sovereign Hao. In Lin Moyu’s cultivation plan, one step was to find a white dwarf star, observe it closely, and see what it was like, providing a reference and direction for himself. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 Lin Moyu took a deep breath and began to approach the star. There was no iron powder here; the star’s temperature was too high, and any iron powder that got close was burned to ash. The red flames were just a part of what the star scattered. When he was still 5,000 meters away from the star, Lin Moyu’s God King Golden Body suddenly shattered, and numerous wounds appeared on his body. Lin Moyu stopped immediately, not moving. The vibration frequency of the star was too fast, causing the entire space to vibrate with it. The astonishing vibration frequency turned the space into countless sharp knives. During the approach, the body had to continuously endure the cutting of the space. "What a terrifying thing." "But the more terrifying, the better, as it can enhance the physical body." White light emerged, and the life force healed the wounds. Lin Moyu approached the star at an extremely slow speed.
