"Blade Array! A level five Divine Array?" As soon as Joe Di unleashed his Blade Array, Damon Jin's face changed dramatically. Without hesitation, he grabbed a talisman and activated it instantly.
The moment this level five Divine Blade Array appeared, Damon Jin knew that if he didn’t escape today, he would surely die.
But he quickly realized that Joe Di's Divine Blade Array not only trapped his tens of thousands of Void Spike Wolves, but also sealed off the entire space.
Blood mist splattered everywhere as piles of Void Spike Wolves were slaughtered by the Blade Array.
Damon Jin desperately brandished the Titan Lance in his hand, but his heart was filled with despair. He simply couldn’t comprehend how Joe Di, a mere Dao Origin cultivator, could control tens of thousands of blade artifacts, most of which were Intermediate Artifacts, and some even Superior Artifacts.
As for how Joe Di managed to acquire so many artifacts, that no longer mattered.
The Titan Lance seemed as if it would tear open the void, channeling all of Damon Jin’s divine essence and Dao rhythm in a single strike aimed to kill Joe Di.
Joe Di didn’t even attempt to dodge. He simply swung his Azure Veil Blade—a straightforward, unadorned slash carved out of the void.
In an instant, the void turned bleak, and the blood mist saturating the space added to the desolation.
Suddenly, scenes from Damon Jin’s past flashed before his eyes, and he was struck by a sense of age and decline.
A chilling intent struck, making Damon Jin shiver. He snapped awake—Joe Di’s Azure Veil Blade had already smashed against his Titan Lance.
Even more bleak was the blade aura pressing in. Damon Jin felt a coldness in his heart, matching the desolate chill of that blade aura—a heroic bleakness, like icy wind over water. No, for the blade aura it was heroic, but for him, it was a profound sorrow.
Crash! The Titan Lance was struck by the Azure Veil Blade, even showing signs of splitting. Yet the Azure Veil Blade didn’t pause for a moment—it had already slid past Damon Jin’s brow.
"Splurt!" Blood mist exploded. Damon Jin felt not a shred of reluctance—his heart held only two words: so strong.
Truly, so powerful. He finally believed why, in the past, five Prime Realm experts besieged that Saint Dao Master, yet all fell. Perhaps the legends weren’t false—a Dao Origin cultivator really could kill a Prime Realm Saint Emperor with ease.
Damon Jin’s primordial spirit spilled out, gazing at Joe Di with a sigh. In the next instant, his spirit was shredded to fragments by the Azure Veil Blade.
When Joe Di recalled his Azure Veil Blade, the tens of thousands of Void Spike Wolves had already been slaughtered by the Blade Array. The few remaining, after Damon Jin’s fall, lost their will to fight and fled into the void.
Joe Di waved his hand, releasing a surge of lightning radiance. The Blade Array expanded outward, once again ensnaring the remaining Void Spike Wolves.
Half a stick of incense later, this patch of void returned to tranquility.
...
Joe Di returned to the Void Market once again. Before he even entered, he immediately spotted the golden-haired woman from Phoenix Roost Inn who had previously helped him. Joe Di quickly cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Senior."
The golden-haired woman saw Joe Di at the same time and exclaimed in surprise, "You're all right?"
Joe Di looked at the golden-haired woman in confusion. "Senior, did something happen to me?"
The golden-haired woman frowned, then said, "I just returned to the Phoenix Roost Inn and heard you went out, so I immediately went looking for you. Later, I learned from a friend that you left together with Damon Jin of the Demon Clan. I wanted to help, but once you left the Void Market, I was powerless to intervene..."
Realizing that wasn't what she meant to say, the golden-haired woman quickly continued, "You went out with Damon Jin—how could you possibly be unharmed?"
Joe Di chuckled. "Oh, you mean Damon Jin? He's actually quite reasonable. We had a misunderstanding, but after talking things through, he agreed with my perspective and left. He didn't say anything else before going."
In his heart, Joe Di added, He left very peacefully.
The golden-haired woman didn't respond to Joe Di's words. Instead, she scrutinized him for a long moment before saying, "My name is Tammy Tang, from the Phoenix Clan. I'm also the Prime Realm Saint Emperor stationed by the Phoenix Clan in the Void Market."
Joe Di thought to himself, You're only early-stage Prime Realm, not even as strong as Damon Jin. I already knew that.
After introducing herself, Tammy Tang added, "Joe Di, you must be quite extraordinary. To kill Zachary Sang of the Sea Clan with a single punch and even persuade Damon Jin to leave, haha..."
