If the legacy Dharma treasures, the Void Lanterns, were taken away, he would become the Ji Family's eternal sinner.
However, although the lamp was not snatched away, its power was greatly reduced and it could no longer release a powerful sealing power.
Demon Emperor Wan Shan seized the opportunity. Demonic light lit up in his eyes, and his cut body squirmed violently. He began to break free from the spatial laws and quickly closed up.
Song Shi took a look and slashed down with his saber.
A dazzling saber beam slashed out, and a portion of his huge body that had just recovered was cut open. Demon Emperor Wan Shan let out a tragic cry, as if something had shattered. His body trembled, and the demonic light dissipated and collapsed.
This time, Song Shi had attacked his vital points and killed him so easily.
At the side, the Shadow Demon Clan's Mahayana-level pupils constricted as they wanted to continue snatching the lamp. They took a deep look at Song Shi and instantly turned into many afterimages, disappearing in all directions in the blink of an eye.
Song Shi did not pursue. He continued to watch Wan Shan's collapsed body and observe the process of his death.
He had slashed at the place where the other party's Law Power was the densest, and the fluctuations of his life and Primordial Spirit were also the densest. In the end, he had killed the other party with a single slash.
At this moment, with a rustling sound, the soil at the place where he attacked dispersed in the shape of quicksand. A large amount of Demonic Qi was released from it and dissipated in the Void.
A broken yellow crystal core appeared in the sand.
This crystal core was the size of an ordinary person's head. It was condensed with exuberant Life Essence Qi and had traces of Law Power twisting. At this moment, it was slashed open by him and was also collapsing.
"My Madam Wuyou, is this the so-called new life core?"
Song Shi was curious.
"Yes, this is his Life Core. If he becomes a God, it will be his God Core."
Wuyou nodded and glanced at him. "Unfortunately, you're still a fake. You don't have any defense. Instead, because you gathered too much strength, your Primordial Spirit was shattered by your saber. You died a little straightforwardly."
"God Core!"
This was the first time Song Shi had heard of this. He had never come into contact with it before, and there was no introduction to the Immortal Realm in the Mystic Spirit Realm.
"The God is the God Core, and the Immortal is the Immortal Core. The stronger one is, the smaller the core will be. The smaller the fatal point, the less likely it will be to be attacked."
Wuyou pointed at Song Shi's dantian. "Most cultivators cultivate this place as their Life Core. Most of the gods cultivate in their hearts or the sea of consciousness between their brows."
Upon hearing this, a bolt of lightning flashed through Song Shi's mind. He came to a realization and said, "So that's how it is. Immortal cultivators use their Dantian as the foundation to cultivate from the beginning. From refining essence to qi, to Qi Refinement to Soul Transformation, and now, to refining the virtual entity and the Void Refinement to the Dao. The void that I refined at the Void Refinement realm should be combined with the power of laws and condensed into an immortal core!"
"Right!"
Wuyou nodded. "Actually, there's already a divine core in your heart. It's that ball of fire. I don't know how you cultivated it, but you're considered a half-god now. You can live as long as heaven and earth, so you won't die of old age easily."
"I know where to go from here!"
Song Shi's eyes lit up. So this was the path that immortals wanted to take. Their essence, energy, and laws had fused into one, condensing into a brand new life core. From there, they could live forever and even become immortal.
"The Emperor's Core! This guy's Emperor's Core was actually shattered by your saber. It's all thanks to me using the Void Lantern to suppress him."
Ji Xiyang landed at the side and stared greedily at the shattered pseudo-god core.
"If you want it, just take it. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Song Shi pursed his lips. This old fellow was really funny. He was even deliberately emphasizing his contribution.
"Brother Song, you don't want it?"
Ji Xiyang had already started to call Song Shi his brother.
"Not interested."
Song Shi shook his head but still asked, "What can this thing do?"
"It's good stuff. Those who can condense the Emperor Core are all outstanding Great Emperors. Not only can they comprehend the laws through the Emperor Core, but the origin contained in it is also very rare. If they use it appropriately, the effect will not be inferior to top-notch elixirs."
Ji Xiyang was excited. This thing was rare.
"It's already so broken. Take it and use it as trash."
Song Shi was still unmoved. When he saw the ground turn into a desert, he asked curiously, "Is his body gone?"
"He must have gathered all his power here. When he first fought you, his body was already not made of flesh and blood."
Ji Xiyang explained and said fearfully, "He should have sacrificed his corporeal body in order to condense this core. He's really ruthless."
"I see."
Song Shi was enlightened. He checked the desert and did not find anything valuable.
It seemed that this guy had spent all his assets in order to break through.
"Brother Song, if you give this thing away, I won't let you suffer a loss. You can ask for some compensation," Ji Xiyang said embarrassedly.
"How about letting me see this lamp for a few days? I want to condense the Void Laws in one go."
Song Shi pointed at the void lamp that had been contaminated by something.
"No problem."
Ji Xiyang came back to his senses and stared at the black thing on the lamp. "After I get rid of this filthy Dharma treasures, I'll let Brother Song take a look."
He carefully picked up the broken pseudo-god core, formed a seal, and condensed runes to seal it. Then, he came to the Void Lantern.
"Elders, come and help me recover the power of the Void Lantern."
More than ten Body Integration Realm elders flew out from nearby. They released their Law Powers and injected them into the Void Lantern.
As the leader, Ji Xiyang's thick Dharmic powers surged out, emitting rings of silver brilliance, causing the Void Lantern to rapidly light up.
