Feeling the gaze fall upon him, Gu Xi was also taken aback, knowing that he was currently in the Mind Shield state of the Spirit Lamp, where normal people couldn’t detect his presence.
Yet, this Oil Lamp was staring right at him.
There must be a reason for this.
As Gu Xi was thinking, he retreated backward, while at the sa ti, the Equipnt Carrier holding the [Vanguard Power - Shattering Array] appeared, raising the Longsword and slashing at the Oil Lamp.
The mont the Equipnt Carrier made a move, it directly activated the Charge Slash effect.
Clearly, it was in front of Gu Xi, just a step forward before slashing, but it gave the impression of a Heavy Cavalry charging over a hundred ters, reaching a peak in all aspects.
Under this strike, the Oil Lamp on the ground was imdiately knocked away, heavily crashing onto a nearby set of equipnt.
With this crash, the stacked equipnt fell heavily, revealing various conduits behind the equipnt, like blood vessels.
As the equipnt was smashed open, these conduits sprang out, automatically flying around.
So were even extending toward the fallen Dark Titan.
Although he didn’t know what was happening, Gu Xi absolutely didn’t want such a thing to occur.
"Sever everything!"
Gu Xi commanded while releasing the Bone Storm towards the equipnt.
Initially, Gu Xi considered taking these equipnt back.
Now, Gu Xi no longer had such thoughts.
Gu Xi was unwilling to encounter any problems at this mont.
Even if he had to destroy these pieces of equipnt, he wouldn’t allow anyone to sabotage his actions.
Thus, the Bone Storm began cutting through the springing conduits.
Simultaneously, the Bone Armor Centipede, which had just climbed up from behind, received the command and imdiately bit at the conduits.
These conduits were constantly waving and, as the Bone Armor Centipede charged over, they even actively wrapped around its body.
Clearly, these conduits intended to assimilate whatever they touched.
Faced with this situation, the Bone Armor Centipede was unfazed, continuously swinging its segnted legs, severing portions of the conduits with each swing.
In the end, the Bone Armor Centipede and these conduits engaged in a battle.
This gave Gu Xi an opportunity; he let the Equipnt Carrier advance again, slashing at the Oil Lamp.
This ti, the sword lacked the montum of the previous strike, but its power was no weaker.
As the Longsword struck the Oil Lamp, [Vanguard Power - Shattering Array] detonated on the spot, sending the lamp’s cover flying.
At this mont, Gu Xi noticed that inside the uncovered Oil Lamp was solidified lamp oil.
This lamp oil resembled lard, solidifying into a paste, but its color was black.
Through the lamp oil, Gu Xi could see sothing soaking below.
Without much thought, Gu Xi raised his right hand, pointing with the Cold Wind Staff in that direction.
The Demon’s Right Hand swiftly flew towards the Oil Lamp, reaching in before the lamp could react and extracting the object soaked in the lamp oil.
It was a ruby the size of a human head.
The entire ruby was cut into one thousand two hundred and eighty facets.
Each facet was quite perfect, yet each reflected a strange red light.
As the ruby was pulled out, the lamp oil inside the Oil Lamp quickly lted, seemingly transforming into countless arms trying to reclaim the ruby.
But it was too late for that.
Gu Xi only heard a screech.
"Do you know what you’ve done?"
Subsequently, the ruby began to dim, its strange red light gradually disappearing, eventually crumbling into powder within the Demon’s Right Hand released by Gu Xi, scattering into the lamp oil.
At the sa ti, various ssages incessantly popped up in front of Gu Xi.
[You have seized the Lamp God’s core (Level 17); core energy is missing, quality is declining...]
[Lamp God’s core dropped to Level 15, please provide energy for the Lamp God core...]
[Lamp God’s core dropped to Level 11, please provide...]
[...]
Before Gu Xi could react, the Lamp God’s core, initially at Level 17, slowly dissolved, leaving nothing behind.
Not entirely true, as it wasn’t nothing left; finally, on the Demon’s Right Hand was a fully darkened gem.
This gem was only the size of a thumb, with six facets, completely opaque, making it impossible to see within.
[You obtained the Lamp God core fragnt (Gray) *1]
[Lamp God core fragnt (Gray): Originally the mory and soul core of a High-tier Lamp God, due to so reason, this part of the soul has lost its original function, resulting in the core fragnt being affected, unable to hold any new mory or soul.]
As this ssage appeared, the lamp oil that extended hands to grab the Lamp God core also stopped moving.
Everything seed to pause, frozen in place.
Only the conduits beneath the equipnt not far away continued thrashing, making their last struggle.
Gu Xi took a glance at the Oil Lamp, firmly waving his hand.
"Destroy it!"
Under Gu Xi’s command, two Death Incarnations rushed forward, joining the attack on these conduits.
As for Mido and Isabella, who ca along, they remained behind Gu Xi, awaiting further instructions.
After delegating the handling of the conduits behind the equipnt to his subordinates, Gu Xi finally relaxed.
He extended his hand, receiving the Lamp God core fragnt placed in his palm, with so conjectures about the world’s situation in his mind.
Yet, Gu Xi was still uncertain whether the Lamp God he faced was a friend or foe.
Why did he do this?
With such thoughts, Gu Xi walked over to the broken Oil Lamp.
He reached out to lift this huge Oil Lamp, a slight smile on his face.
As Gu Xi speculated, the Oil Lamp was indeed the body of the Lamp God.
However, compared to the core once imrsed in the Oil Lamp, the body’s condition was much worse.
The current body maintained only a Level 7 condition.
Moreover, influenced by so force, the Lamp God’s body was undergoing an irreversible mutation.
What this mutation led to, Gu Xi could not yet discern.
But clearly, this mutation wasn’t a good thing.
With this in mind, Gu Xi couldn’t help but sigh.
Just as Gu Xi was about to let go and take a look at the battle over by the equipnt, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
He turned and looked again at the broken Oil Lamp.
Earlier, Gu Xi had rely stepped forward to check it out without much thought, feeling that the Oil Lamp was now useless.
However, just a mont ago, a thought crossed Gu Xi’s mind that perhaps this Lamp God could be converted into an Undead.
This shattered Lamp God core, even though it turned gray, might still contain so mories.
Just like the Ghost Dragon before, this presented Gu Xi with the best opportunity to understand the world.
After all, nothing would offer more detailed knowledge about the world than the most core entities within it.
