Dao artifacts weren't living beings.
However, it was also an existence that had developed a spirit.
This was especially so for the sect-guarding Dao artifacts of the eight sects. Which one of them hadn't existed for over a thousand years and had extremely powerful spiritual qualities?
When they saw how Qin shujian had easily destroyed three Dao weapons, and one of them had even been directly burned by the Ming King's karmic fire, they could still sense the shrill wails of the two-seal Dao weapon's spirit.
People were afraid of death.
Dao artifacts were also afraid of death.
This was especially so now that all of the eight sects 'experts had been exterminated. The master-Recognition Seals that should have existed on their bodies had completely disappeared, unlike the mountain suppression seal, which had still been able to forcefully suppress their thoughts of submission.
&Nbsp; so,
After Qin shujian spoke ...
All the Dao artifacts chose to submit.
