This villain is too popular.

Chapter 466 The ever-improving domain is only missing a 'key' [4000 words]

"A month of preparation time is neither long nor short."

Caroline spoke first, and a large amount of quantum data flowed in her palm, quickly condensing into a virtual document.

"I will immediately contact headquarters to retrieve detailed information on the meteorite ruins, including the terrain, the known distribution of abyssal creatures, and the danger level of ancient relics, to provide support for the operation as much as possible."

Jing Liuli also abandoned her usual relaxed demeanor, and her tone became serious.

"I will be responsible for selecting the elite team members who will accompany us, prioritizing those who are good at teamwork, and preparing sufficient star energy supplies and special equipment."

Chen Kong looked at the Heavenly Dao with a firm gaze.

"Isabel and I will use this month to improve our strength. I will try to control the copied star source more skillfully, especially Isabel's absolute zero, which may play a greater role in the low temperature environment of the meteorite ruins."

Isabel nodded, a faint chill emanating from her body, clearly indicating that she had begun to consider how to refine her absolute zero.

Hearing what everyone said, An Qin hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "I have a good understanding of the internal structure of the Tianyuan Organization and the characteristics of abyssal energy. Perhaps I can help you formulate targeted combat strategies. At the same time, I will also strengthen my own star energy cultivation so as not to hold you back."

"Don't rush to deny yourself."

Tiandao glanced at Anqin and spoke calmly.

"Your Dark Serpent bloodline's ability to sense abyssal energy is one of our greatest advantages in the Meteor Ruins, more reliable than any detection equipment."

"During this period, you only need to familiarize yourself with how to expand the sensing range and improve the accuracy."

Having received the affirmation of Heaven, a trace of gratitude flashed in An Qin's eyes, and she nodded vigorously.

"Alright, everyone, let's divide the tasks and get started preparing."

The Heavenly Dao waved its hand, its tone still languid, but carrying an undeniable authority.

"Three days later, we will gather at the Tianwu Training Base for our first training session."

Everyone responded in unison, and then dispersed to get back to the busy preparations.

Tiandao left the core area of ​​the Star Energy Zone alone and headed towards an uninhabited valley within the Tianwu Training Base.

That was where he usually cultivated, far from the hustle and bustle, where the flow of stellar energy was relatively pure.

Upon arriving at the valley, the vector force field around Tiandao suddenly expanded, forming a huge energy barrier that enveloped the entire valley.

The barrier not only isolates external probes but also gathers surrounding stellar energy, forming a natural training ground.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to organize his own stellar energy.

Although dealing with the subspace projection and destroying the main altar seemed effortless before, the Heavenly Dao knew very well that the Calamity-level powerhouses in the Meteorite Ruins were no ordinary people, and the Heavenly Abyss Organization must have some trump cards to operate there for so many years.

Although his current strength far surpasses that of ordinary natural disasters, he has not yet fully mastered the 'power of origin'.

If they encounter a true veteran of natural disasters, they might not be able to completely overwhelm them.

Yes, the will of Heaven is to crush the opponent, not to decide whether or not it will lose to them.

With his current resources, unless he encounters some old monsters, he'll be in trouble.

Otherwise, defeating him might be possible, but keeping him alive is absolutely impossible.

"The essence of vector control is to control the trajectory of all motion and the flow of energy."

Countless models of energy circulation flashed through Tiandao's mind.

“When dealing with subspace projection before, we had already touched the edge of the transformation between the virtual and the real. Perhaps we can make further breakthroughs in this area, so that the vector force field can not only manipulate entities and energy, but also directly interfere with space.”

With this in mind, the Heavenly Dao began to try to guide the vector force field to penetrate the surrounding space.

His Star Eclipse Eye opened, allowing him to see through appearances to the subtle folds and energy pathways in space.

The vector force field, like the finest stream of water, slowly seeps into these folds, attempting to alter the curvature of space.

At first, the space resisted extremely strongly; the vector force field was bounced back as soon as it made contact.

But Heaven was not discouraged. It adjusted the frequency and intensity of the force field time and time again, patiently carving it like polishing a rough jade.

Unbeknownst to them, three days had passed, and the space in the valley began to show subtle distortions. The originally straight light rays were slightly refracted when passing through the barrier.

"interesting."

The Heavenly Dao opened its eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion towards a boulder not far away. The vector force field no longer acted directly on the boulder itself, but instead distorted the space around it.

With a loud 'boom,' the boulder was not shattered, but instead crushed into powder by the squeezing force of space, leaving not a single fragment behind.

This ability to manipulate space is more covert and more deadly than direct force field attacks.

Tiandao nodded in satisfaction, put away the energy barrier, and headed towards the Tianwu Training Base.

At this time, the Tianwu Training Base had already gathered dozens of elite star envoys.

Jing Liuli was counting the number of people, while Caroline was adjusting a large simulation training device, which was displaying a partial terrain simulation map of the meteorite ruins.

Chen Kong, Liu Ma, Isabel, and Anqin have also arrived and are doing a simple warm-up.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Heavenly Dao, everyone immediately surrounded him.

"Heavenly Dao, you have arrived."

Jing Liuli stepped forward and handed over a team member list.

"This is the final confirmed team of thirty people."

Tiandao took the list and quickly glanced at it.

As expected, he saw many familiar faces on the list.

For example, No. 5 Rin Yagami, No. 7 Jeremiah, No. 13 Miyo, and No. 2 Dust Star.

However, Chen Xing seems to have some important matters to attend to, so he did not come over.

Without saying much, Tiandao walked straight to the simulation training device.

"First, we will conduct a simulation exercise to simulate the turbulent stellar energy environment of the meteorite ruins and the scenario of being attacked by a level three abyssal creature."

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Caroline immediately activated the device, and the training ground was instantly enveloped by a pale purple stellar energy turbulence, with huge, ferocious-looking phantoms of abyssal creatures appearing on the ground.

Soon, the thirty elite team members quickly split into three squads, each responsible for offense, defense, and support.

Dust Sky activated the Void Rune, leading Isabel to infiltrate the flank, preparing for a sneak attack.

Anqin stood at the back of the group, her body surrounded by a faint purple star energy, constantly sensing the fluctuations of the abyssal energy around her.

Caroline manipulated the stellar energy of the AI ​​to construct several quantum shields to resist the erosion of the stellar energy turbulence.

The battle is about to break out.

The phantom of the abyss creature roared as it charged toward the team members, and the turbulent flow of star energy constantly interfered with the team members' star energy circulation, causing many of their attacks to go astray.

Although the team members cooperated well, they gradually fell into a passive position under such harsh conditions.

Just then, the laws of Heaven moved.

He didn't join the battle; he simply raised his hand and waved it lightly across the training ground. An invisible vector force field instantly spread out, enveloping all the stellar energy turbulence. The originally violent and chaotic stellar energy turbulence instantly became docile under the influence of the vector force field, and was even guided towards the abyssal creature's phantom.

Seeing this, the team members were stunned. The stellar energy turbulence that had been interfering with them had actually turned into a weapon to attack the enemy.

The phantoms of those abyssal creatures were struck by the stellar energy turbulence, their bodies instantly becoming illusory before dissipating.

Those familiar with the ways of Heaven don't feel anything about this.

After all, the way of Heaven is always like this, occasionally revealing methods that are beyond their comprehension.

But for those who are unfamiliar with the Dao of Heaven, the ease with which he controlled the entire scene with a wave of his hand was still somewhat shocking.

"Is this the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

A third-level star envoy muttered to himself.

He had participated in similar missions before and knew how troublesome the stellar energy turbulence was.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dao could so easily control the stellar energy turbulence, and even reverse its influence.

"Alright, the simulation exercise is over."

The Heavenly Dao withdrew its vector force field and said calmly, "Your teamwork is good, but your ability to adapt to harsh environments is too poor, and your control over star energy is also insufficient."

"For the next month, we will conduct at least three high-intensity simulation training sessions every day until we can perform precise combat in the turbulent environment of stellar energy."

"Yes."

The team members responded in unison, their reverence for the Dao reaching its peak at that moment.

With such a strong captain leading the team, they had more confidence in their mission at the Meteor Ruins.

In the days that followed, the Tianwu training base was filled with the sounds of fierce battles every day.

Besides guiding the team members in training, Tiandao spends the rest of his time cultivating, and occasionally gives pointers to Chen Kong and Isabel.

Under his guidance, Chen Kong became more proficient in controlling the Void Runes, not only eliminating the presence of multiple people at the same time, but also shielding a certain range of abyssal energy for a short period of time.

Isabel has also made a breakthrough in absolute zero; within a certain range, all energy flow will be frozen.

Meanwhile, the strength of the Heavenly Dao itself is also steadily increasing.

He has become adept at manipulating spatial curvature, creating two new abilities: 'spatial barriers' and 'spatial cutting'.

Spatial barriers can withstand a full-force attack from a cataclysmic powerhouse, while spatial cutting can directly tear through space, inflicting wounds on enemies that are difficult to heal.

In addition, he also tried to combine the vector force field with the Star Eclipse Eye, which could predict the enemy's attack trajectory in advance and even see through the energy core of abyssal creatures.

Just as Tiandao and the others were preparing for battle with all their might, deep within the Meteorite Ruins, in the headquarters of the Tianyuan Organization, in a dark and oppressive palace, several figures draped in black cloaks were sitting together.

In the center of the palace, a huge black crystal floats, reflecting the image of the Heavenly Dao.

"This guy is growing too fast."

A cloaked figure spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone tinged with apprehension.

"Hmph, just a lucky brat."

Another cloaked figure snorted coldly, emanating a terrifying, calamity-level pressure from his body.

"Even if he is quite capable, it is nothing short of a pipe dream for him to break through our headquarters."

"The stellar energy turbulence, abyssal creatures, and the numerous traps we've set up in the meteorite ruins are enough to ensure he never returns."

"You can't say that."

The cloaked figure seated in the main seat spoke, his voice deep and authoritative.

“Enet was just like him, breaking the rules time and time again. Although it’s too early to say that now, in my opinion, if given enough time to grow, he will definitely become our biggest threat.”

"But since he has chosen to deliver himself to us this time, we may take this opportunity to get rid of him."

"The leader is wise," the other cloaked figures responded in unison.

The cloaked figure in the main seat raised his hand and waved, and the scene in the black crystal switched to a map of the meteorite ruins, marked with several red dots.

“I have ordered my subordinates to set up some ‘purgatory nests’ along the route that Tiandao and the others will inevitably take.”

"These infernal nests can draw upon abyssal energy to form independent infernal spaces."

"Within this space, our strength will be amplified, while their star energy will be continuously eroded."

"In addition, I will personally summon the projection of the Abyss Lord to lend us a hand."

Upon hearing this, a cloaked figure exclaimed excitedly, "With the leader personally taking action, plus the projection of the Abyss Lord, these guys are doomed!"

The cloaked figure in the main seat remained silent, staring intently at the figure of the Heavenly Dao within the black crystal, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that the Heavenly Dao was the future hope of the Star Envoy Association. If the Heavenly Dao was eliminated, the Star Envoy Association would lose its most powerful reserve force.

Once that old bastard Ennet passes away peacefully, their Abyss Organization will be able to open the Abyss Passage and let the Abyss Energy sweep across the entire world.

[Day 4, Martial Arts Battle in Tiandu, Tianwu Training Base]

boom!
In the deserted valley, Caroline stared in astonishment at Tiandao standing not far from her. Her eyes, usually known for their rationality and composure, were now filled with a rare shock and bewilderment.

From an outsider's perspective, there was nothing between her and the Heavenly Dao at this moment.

But in Caroline's view, it was not so at all.

Suddenly, she found herself in some kind of boundless starry sky, losing all senses of the outside world, including but not limited to sight, hearing, space, and time.

This was undoubtedly an unprecedented situation for an AI Star Envoy.

It's important to know that the most distinctive feature of the AI ​​Star Envoy is its ability to receive and process information quickly.

There is only one possible scenario where this situation can occur.

That is, the will of Heaven separated her from her original world.

As an invisible wave disappeared, Caroline gazed at the Heavenly Dao not far away, pondered for a moment, and said, "Heavenly Dao, that should have been the prototype of your domain, right?"

Heaven didn't hide anything and nodded.

During the trials on Changsheng Island, the Heavenly Dao briefly used this method.

In the subsequent battles, the Heavenly Dao was rarely used.

The reason is simple: it's completely unnecessary.

However, in his next move, he will likely face one or even more Cataclysmic-level powerhouses.

Although in this operation, Tiandao understood that these students would obviously not be the main force.

A powerful expert from within the association, capable of handling natural disasters, will surely step in.

However, the probability of them encountering a natural disaster-level being is still quite high.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao began to continuously improve its domain, and at this moment, it is only one step away from completely mastering this domain.
