Divine statues represented mystery and transcendence. The appearance of one or two might have been a coincidence, but the successive emergence of several divine statues meant that the demon kingdom might truly harbor secrets beyond even Lin Fan's imagination.
Some unseen force seemed to be drawing these divine statues here.
Lin Fan suddenly thought of the Primal Divine Statue lying dormant within his inner landscape space. Ever since arriving in the demon kingdom, this goddess statue seemed to have grown active as well.
Was all of this not far too coincidental?
Lin Fan drew a deep breath and stopped dwelling on the matter. What mattered most now was continuing to make himself stronger by every means possible.
Only with sufficient strength could he face the unknown dangers that might arise in the future.
With that thought, Lin Fan immediately communicated with the Pre-emptive Dao Fruit again.
[Do you wish to consume 1,500 years of lifespan to pre-emptively raise Starlight Shifting to perfection?]
The Pre-emptive Dao Fruit swiftly sent back a response.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Fan said, "I agree to pre-empt it."
The number in the lifespan column of the panel decreased once more, while the proficiency of Starlight Shifting rapidly rose from the greater mastery stage to perfection.
In an instant, it was as though Lin Fan had mastered this skill for centuries. His understanding of its application and power grew far deeper.
At the greater mastery stage, Starlight Shifting could reverse physical attacks and Primordial Spirit techniques back upon the opponent with severalfold amplification.
But now that the skill had reached perfection, the strength of that amplification soared. It rose directly from severalfold amplification to tenfold amplification.
Just imagine it: if an expert of the same realm attacked Lin Fan, even if he used no other means
