Void Demon Races with the void attribute were already rare, and those that had reached the Ninth Rank were rarer still. Ninth-Rank Void Snake Demons were rarer than rare.
After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the Star Alliance had managed to obtain a single one for its treasury, which was already quite impressive. Once Star Lord Xie Lingxu had exchanged for and refined it, there was naturally no second one.
So although Liang Ji's wife, Peng Yue, had long since reached the peak of the Eighth-Tier Star Lord level and even met the conditions to break through to Ninth-Rank Star Lord, she was blocked by the core of that Ninth-Rank Void Demon Snake.
For hundreds of years, she had made no progress.
There were quite a few Eighth-Tier Star Lords at the peak of their rank in the Star Alliance who were in the same situation as Peng Yue. They only needed to refine a suitable Ninth-Rank Void Demon Core before they could attempt to break through to Ninth-Rank Star Lord.
Of course, even if these peak Eighth-Tier Star Lords obtained suitable Ninth-Rank Demon Cores, that did not mean they would all successfully break through and advance to Ninth-Rank Star Lord.
But if even a few of them succeeded, the Star Alliance's Ninth-Rank combat strength would increase considerably, widening the gap between it and the Ninth-Rank forces in the Spirit God Realm.
