Within the spatial barrier, Fan Lang was still condensing Life Stars. New Life Stars continued to form, bringing the total to as many as eighteen.
Each additional Life Star greatly increased his strength. He was now vastly more powerful than he had been before the battle.
If he wished, he could condense even more Life Stars, but there were more important matters at hand. Condensing Life Stars would have to wait until later.
In the Star River Realm, each advancement in cultivation increased the number of "slots" for Life Stars. These could be understood as one's capacity to contain Life Stars.
An ordinary Star River Realm Martial God gained anywhere from a few to over a dozen slots with each minor realm advancement.
Fan Lang possessed ninefold cheating. The number of slots he gained was multiplied ninefold from the original amount. He now had more slots than he could use, enough to condense countless Life Stars in the future. The final number would exceed a thousand!
Once he filled every slot, who knew how far his strength would rise?
Moreover, Life Stars themselves varied in quality. A powerful Life Star could rival ten ordinary ones.
Naturally, Fan Lang intended to condense only the strongest Life Stars.
Life Stars also differed in power and attributes. They could nurture not only divine power, but also demonic power, Buddhist Force, and more.
A lush green Life Star could enhance earth-element power.
A fiercely burning Life Star could enhance fire-element power.
And so on.
Martial Gods would refine and develop them according to their own needs.
Fan Lang ended his cultivation and rose to his feet, full of vigor. The divine power around him receded inward, while a layer of divine radiance lingered around his body.
