The two were locked in battle within the River of Rules.
Although the Wood Spirit Emperor had only recently become a first-tier immortal, his strength was by no means weak.
After all, the Wood Spirit Emperor's rule.
Had emerged from the Wood Spirit Rule and stood above it.
As for the Wood Spirit Rule.
As one of the rules of the five elements of heaven and earth, it was inherently extremely powerful.
Thus.
The Wood Spirit Emperor's strength was plain to see.
If the Wood Spirit Race had not been so weak overall, it would have qualified to join the ranks of the great races, rather than remaining a middling race as it did now.
Boom—
Their bodies collided violently, then abruptly separated.
Qin Shujian had sealed away ninety-nine percent of his power, leaving only a small fraction to fight the Wood Spirit Emperor.
The Wood Spirit Emperor Rule.
Was, to a certain extent, far harder to comprehend than other ordinary rules.
Because of the rule of a race's Emperor.
Was not something just anyone could comprehend.
For a fellow wood spirit, comprehending the Wood Spirit Emperor Rule would have been much easier. But if someone from another race tried to forcibly comprehend it, the difficulty would soar.
Thus.
After three days of fighting.
Qin Shujian had gained only a little insight. Fully comprehending the Wood Spirit Emperor Rule and nurturing its Rule Seeds within his inner world was not so easy.
The one who had benefited from the battle.
Was not Qin Shujian alone. The Wood Spirit Emperor himself had also gained a great deal.
After becoming a true immortal.
Every step forward required an extraordinary opportunity.
As a ninth-level immortal, Qin Shujian exuded boundless Dao resonance with every move, even with his strength suppressed.
