"Stop fussing, Jade Vaughn. Let's talk properly." While Jade Vaughn was still frantically arranging formation flags, Joe Di had already opened the domain array gate and spoke calmly.
Jade Vaughn's hand trembled as he held the formation flag, then he froze for a moment. His trapping-kill array was just barely completed. Yet, he had no confidence at all in trapping Joe Di.
If he could really trap Joe Di, would Joe Di be this relaxed? Even before the array was fully sealed, Joe Di still had the leisure to chat with him.
Still unwilling to give up, Jade Vaughn tossed the formation flag aside and said hoarsely, "Joe Di, how did you find this place?"
Joe Di chuckled, "However you found it, that's how I found it. There are so few cultivators in this universe, maybe just the two of us. If you could find it, of course I could too. What's so strange about that?"
"Hoo!" Jade Vaughn exhaled, pulled out the Twilight Comb, and looked at Joe Di. "Judging by your demeanor, you must be certain you can escape from me. Since that's the case, let me see how much you've improved in these thousand years."
Joe Di opened his hand, and the Creation Brush appeared. The Azure Veil Blade hovered around him as he calmly said, "If that's so, then let's begin. But if I'm standing before you now, I have no intention of running anymore."
As Jade Vaughn activated the trapping-kill array, the Twilight Comb was already unleashed, weaving streaks of twilight Dao resonance through the void.
Joe Di felt the twilight Dao resonance from Jade Vaughn's Twilight Comb and couldn't help but marvel—this divine technique was truly beautiful. It was like watching a beautiful woman focused on weaving the most perfect silk at a loom, yet these threads were twilight woven from time itself, capable of binding everything in the universe...
"Thank you, Jade Vaughn." As Joe Di spoke, the Creation Brush once again swept out a giant character: "Realm."
He thanked Jade Vaughn, because without the Twilight Comb, he wouldn't have been able to comprehend the Loom of Ages.
A single word breaks ten thousand Daos; the Realm cleaves Yin and Yang!
This section of the void was split open by Joe Di's 'Realm' character. Streaks of twilight Dao resonance crashed into the 'Realm,' and unlike last time when the 'Realm' quickly collapsed and vanished, this time the twilight Dao resonance collided with the Dao resonance of the 'Realm,' producing the tearing sound of Dao resonances in the cosmic void.
As flowers bloom, they must one day fall; a single realm locks in the verdant hills.
The Dao resonance of the Twilight Comb's divine technique fell upon Joe Di's domain, furiously eroding all vitality and time, as if everything was swept away by a torrent of time.
No matter how vigorous Joe Di's vitality was, even a newly bloomed flower would be corroded and swept away by this twilight.
The first time, Joe Di's vitality and even his Dao resonance were eroded by this twilight Dao resonance, causing his life force to quickly dissipate and his lifespan to age rapidly—like a flower that withers as soon as it blooms.
This time, the 'Realm' written by Joe Di with the Creation Brush did not disappear as quickly as before. Instead, it firmly locked in the vitality and ages of the void, even halting the passage of time.
Outside this realm, everything aged, corroded, and was swept away by twilight and time. But inside, the green hills remained, vitality persisted, and Joe Di endured. Twilight weathered everything, but could not fade the green hills within the realm.
