The Demon Emperor had attained the Dao!
Qin Shujian was somewhat surprised.
He had originally assumed that the Demon Emperor would fail.
That was why...
To guard against the possibility that the Demon Race still had True Immortals, he had sent the three races to attack together and had Xi Yang bring the Heavenly Rankings to suppress any True Immortals who broke free of their seals.
Now, Human Race Fortune had soared.
The Heavenly Rankings was itself an Eight-Seal Dao Artifact, and with Human Race Fortune gathered within it, it had become a Fortune Treasure.
With the two combined...
Its might already surpassed that of an ordinary nine-mark Dao artifact.
A True Immortal at full strength naturally had nothing to fear from a nine-mark Dao artifact.
But a sealed True Immortal...
Would have had their strength worn away over hundreds of thousands of years, and would also suffer punishment from the rules thunder tribulation.
In that case, it was not impossible for the Heavenly Rankings to suppress them.
Thus...
The Demon Emperor attaining the Dao had not figured into Qin Shujian's calculations.
But even if he had attained the Dao...
Qin Shujian did not necessarily see it as a bad thing.
No matter what...
It would not affect the Human Race's offensive against the Demon Race.
After slaying the God Emperor...
Qin Shujian turned his gaze toward the rule battlefield where the Ancient Buddha Emperor stood.
As time passed...
The Ancient Buddha Emperor had already covered most of the distance. His strength had surpassed that of an ordinary half-immortal and reached an exceptionally formidable level.
"You want to attain the Dao!"
"Do you think it'll be that easy?"
Qin Shujian took a step forward, and the power rule flickered into view beneath his feet.
He, too, followed the power rule.
