This villain is too popular.

Chapter 314 I've gotten weaker, but that doesn't mean you've become stronger than me. [Requesting monthly votes!]

[Dream World, Residential Building Corridor]

The door to room 302 opened gently, and Xiaotiandao walked out, now wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt.

He turned around, closed the door, and then walked towards the stairwell.

However, the 'innocence' on Tiandao's face disappeared after he stepped into the stairwell.

Instead, he developed a cold and arrogant demeanor.

"Come out, what's the point of hiding there?"

The voice of Heaven was very cold, even carrying a hint of disdain.

Shortly after Tiandao finished speaking, Shuang Mobing's black robe stirred in the shadows at the end of the corridor, and he slowly walked out.

The hem of the black robe swept across the dust on the steps, and wherever it passed, a thin layer of ice instantly formed on the ground, the ice shards 'crunching', and even the moisture in the air was frozen into tiny ice crystals.

Looking at Xiao Tiandao, who only reached her waist, Shuang Mobing did not underestimate him.

After all, he had clearly witnessed what happened in the city park not long ago.

What surprised him even more was that, despite his deliberate suppression of his aura, the Heavenly Dao still managed to quickly pinpoint his location.

This shows that even the Heavenly Dao at this time had a perception of stellar energy that was monstrous beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Shuang Mobing couldn't help but sigh, "You are even more perceptive than I thought, Heavenly Dao Fate Master."

Upon hearing this, Tiandao looked up at Shuang Mobing, who was now much taller than him, and said expressionlessly, "This is my home, so naturally I know this place better than you do."

Without giving Shuang Mobing another chance to speak, Tiandao turned and walked downstairs.

"Let's go. Since you want to be Liuli's heroes, you probably don't want her to see your evil side, right?"

"Besides, even if I know that everything right now is just a dream, I still don't want to destroy this place."

"Let's find another place, and I'll also pick out a better grave for you. After all, there's no place for outsiders like you in my home."

Upon hearing these words, Shuang Mobing nodded silently.

As Heaven has said, what they want these people to become is the 'light' deep within Jing Liuli's memories, not the 'darkness' that brings fear and despair.

[An open space outside an old residential building]

The open space was overgrown with weeds, and in the corner were several discarded cardboard boxes with faded "Appliance Moving" printed on them.

The dim streetlights shone from afar, casting long shadows of the two people.

Just as Shuang Mobing and Tiandao stood still, four more people suddenly emerged from the shadows of a corner of the wall not far away.

They were wearing the same black robes as Shuang Mobing, and were secretly clutching something in their hands.

After these people appeared, they silently spread out in a semi-circle, surrounding Xiao Tiandao in the middle.

Although the stellar energy fluctuations beneath their black robes were faint, they exuded a dangerous aura.

Instead of rushing into action, Shuang Mobing, who believed she had the upper hand, spoke to the Heavenly Dao, advising, "Heavenly Dao Master of Fate, are you sure you want to continue obstructing us in this state?"

"You should know that although death in a dream won't actually kill you, the pain of that death will still carry over into reality. You don't need to suffer like that for something that's impossible."

Upon hearing this, Tiandao seemed to have heard an amusing joke and sneered, "Shuang Mobing, you seem to have misunderstood something. I have indeed become weaker, but that does not mean that you have become stronger than me."

Tiandao paused, then said with a disdainful tone, "Besides, being in someone else's dream, you should be able to feel the 'rejection from the world' all the time. After all, this is Liuli's dream, and both you and I are outsiders in her dream."

"Under such conditions, a unique star source naturally cannot be used, but there are always exceptions, for example."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao slowly raised its hand.

The next second, a large amount of azure light began to gather at the fingertips of the Heavenly Dao.

"Star energy, this innate power."

In the blink of an eye, the azure ball of light at Tiandao's fingertip condensed into the size of a ping-pong ball. The terrifying energy it contained caused an invisible wind pressure to rise around Tiandao, forcing the weeds nearby to bend over.

This azure energy sphere is none other than the star energy technique that Heavenly Dao used before obtaining 'Star Source Vector Control'—Azure.

Sensing the terrifying energy contained within 'Azure', Shuang Mobing's pupils contracted slightly.

He originally thought that, due to the influence of Jing Liuli's own memories, the Heavenly Dao in the dream world wouldn't be as troublesome as it was outside.

But in reality, he was overthinking it.

The 'strength' of the Heavenly Dao has nothing to do with its star source or star core; it is an innate strength.

Because the Heavenly Dao is able to unleash such an exaggerated star energy technique in this physical state.

This means that whether it's in Jing Liuli's memories or under some special 'dream rules', it's possible.

All of this is something that the natural order of things can accomplish.

Yet a child who is at most seven or eight years old can utilize his own star energy to such an extent without any guidance or access to star resources.

This guy is a born monster!
boom!
To the astonishment of Shuang Mobing and the others, the 'Cang' in Tiandao's hand flew towards the Star Frost Sect envoy on the left with an astonishing speed, accompanied by a sharp sound of tearing through the air, and then pierced through his chest with a 'poof'.

A pale blue light exploded from behind him, and he groaned as he collapsed to the ground. His body quickly became transparent, clearly indicating that he had 'completely exited' the dream.

Upon seeing this, the remaining Starfrost Squad Star Envoys suddenly pulled out their guns from their black robes.

Unable to use Star Source in the dream world, they all unanimously chose firearms as their 'weapons'.

Bang bang bang!
A barrage of gunfire erupted in the open space, and a hail of bullets enveloped Tiandao.

But before the bullets could hit Tiandao, his figure suddenly turned into a blur and disappeared from the spot.

The bullet grazed the hem of his clothes and struck a discarded cardboard box behind him.

With a 'crack', the cardboard box that was hit froze into an ice cube, and then shattered into small pieces.

During the process, Shuang Mobing slowly raised her hand.

Admittedly, he is currently unable to use Star Source.

But that doesn't mean he has no other means.

After all, apart from star sources, star tools also apply to the rules of the dream world.

The icy mask on Shuang Mobing's face was never just a decoration; it was also a special 'star tool'.

【Name: Eternal Frost Mask】

[Quality: Level 3]

[Effect: Greatly improves the control precision of ice-attribute star energy, passively absorbs and stores ice-attribute star energy in the surrounding environment, and can release it under special circumstances]

[Description: 'The moment you put on the mask, winter will become your eternal ally.' — Notes of Starcraft Craftsman, Ice Whisperer]

As Shuang Mobing activated his 'Eternal Frost Mask', the patterns on his icy mask lit up.

The air temperature around the area plummeted, and large amounts of ice and snow surged out from the Frostless Ice, covering the Heavenly Dao not far away.

Unexpectedly, just as the ice was about to touch the Heavenly Dao, a black Rubik's Cube appeared in the Heavenly Dao's hand.

Before Shuang Mobing's astonished eyes, the Heavenly Dao spoke calmly.

"Shuang Mobing, those who possess Star Tools are not only from your Starfrost Sect."

Perfect Spell - Purgatory Rashomon (Fake)!

As the Heavenly Dao activated its 'Quantum Cube,' a massive black coffin descended from the sky!
