Su Ting gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
He could sense a familiar power swirling around the other person—the "Nightmare Essence" that should have been sealed away.
"Where is Lin Yin?!" he roared in a low voice.
The man smiled slightly and said softly:
"She's waiting for you at the end of your dream."
"If you can beat me, perhaps you can see her... one last time."
Su Ting's figure froze in mid-air, golden light emanating from his body, his eyes burning like cold fire. The person before him wore Lin Yin's shell, yet exuded a chilling aura.
"You said 'I'll beat you'? You think I just came here to fight you? I'm here to end your existence!"
The other party chuckled softly and slowly raised his arm. The black mist surged and condensed beneath his feet as if it were alive, forming a massive platform that lifted him to the same height as Su Ting.
Chapter 1201 Falling into the Abyss of Nightmare
"Do you know that for every step you take closer to me, a hundred dreamers vanish into nothingness?" the man said calmly, his gaze sharp as needles.
"They are calling out to you, but they will never receive a response from you again."
Su Ting was startled, but did not back down.
"That's because you stole the essence of nightmares!" He suddenly raised his voice, the golden sword pointing directly at his opponent. "You attempted to replace the will of dreams, plunging this world into the abyss of nightmares forever!"
The man laughed, his laughter echoing in the air like ripples on water: "You're wrong. I am not the one who replaced the dream; I am the true source of this dream."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky above the entire city cracked open, and countless black threads fell from the void, as if they were the threads controlling the entire dream world, all wrapping around his body.
“I am the original nightmare! Your so-called awakening is not even enough to shake up the surface of this dream.”
"Shut up!" Su Ting roared, swinging his sword!
A dazzling golden slash tore through the void, heading straight for the person. But just as it was about to strike, the black mist suddenly surged, forming a barrier that completely blocked the attack!
The slash struck the barrier, creating a deafening roar!
"Su Ting, stop resisting." The voice carried a seductive power. "Accept that you are just a shadow in a dream, why struggle so bitterly? You think you're some kind of guardian, how laughable! The laws of dreams have already written your death countless times!"
"I... am a remnant of a dream? So what?" Su Ting said coldly, his eyes flashing with anger and determination. "Even if I am just a shadow, I will tear you, you dream thief, to shreds!"
The next moment, he shot out like a meteor, his sword light turning into a streak of light, leaving countless trails in the air!
The distance between the two was compressed to within inches of each other almost instantly!
Boom——!
Golden light and black mist intertwined, unleashing a shockwave that tore apart the surrounding buildings and even ripped the sky into pieces.
The man in black robes was forced to retreat several steps, but the smile on his face only widened.
"Interesting... You really are more than just a dream."
“Of course.” Su Ting grinned, and the golden sword in his hand shone even brighter. “Because I was not created by dreams… I am the one who creates dreams.”
Before he finished speaking, he drew his sword again, this time several times faster than before!
"Sword, named Dream Guardian!" he shouted, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from the blade, as if the entire blade had come to life!
The sword light tore through the sky, pierced the black mist, and left a bloody gash on the man's shoulder.
The other party finally showed a serious expression.
"I didn't expect... that you actually mastered the true power of the Dream Guardian." He said coldly, "It seems you're not as useless as you used to be."
"Enough with the nonsense." Su Ting gasped for breath, sweat trickling down his forehead. "I won't give you another chance!"
The man in black robes moved, and the black mist quickly coalesced into a giant shadow warrior, blocking his way.
"If you want to kill me, then you'll have to beat it first."
The enormous black shadow swung its fist, and a muffled thud exploded in the air, as if the entire space was trembling.
"Come on!" Su Ting roared and charged forward.
Boom boom boom——!
The battle unfolded in the air. Su Ting moved like a ghost, clashing fiercely with the black shadow. Each clash unleashed a terrifying shockwave, causing the surrounding space to shatter inch by inch!
Below, the city had been half-eaten by the black mist. The remaining Dreamwalkers huddled in a corner, trembling, their eyes filled with despair as they gazed at the battle lights in the sky.
Chapter 1202 Reconnection
"Can he...still win?"
"Who...is that man?"
"Lord Su Ting... is he still alive?"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out: "Look! The Dream Network in the sky... is reviving!"
People looked up and saw that the broken golden threads in the sky were slowly reconnecting, and the dream network was being rewoven.
Someone murmured softly, "It is Lord Dream Guardian who is supporting this world!"
Meanwhile, the battle was also approaching its climax.
After exchanging dozens of blows with the dark figure, Su Ting finally found an opening and thrust his sword into the figure's chest.
Boom——!
The shadow warrior exploded in mid-air, turning into wisps of black smoke.
"You really are... more troublesome than I imagined," the man in black robes said in a low voice, a trace of black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"You think you can kill me with this trash?" Su Ting's eyes were as cold as ice, his sword pointing at his brow. "You don't have time to stall anymore."
The man in black robes suddenly laughed: "Yes, I don't need to delay any longer."
The next moment, he raised his hand, and the dream net in the sky was torn apart!
The entire dream realm trembled violently, the city collapsed, the ground caved in, and countless dream walkers were sucked into the abyss.
"What are you doing?" Su Ting roared.
"I will use the core power of dreams to awaken the true source of dreams!" the black-robed man roared with laughter. "Aren't you the origin? Then I'll let you watch it be destroyed!"
Su Ting's eyes flashed with cold light, and golden light burst forth from his hand as he rushed straight towards the man in black robes!
"Don't even think about it!!!"
Just then, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out—
"Su Ting, don't be impulsive."
The voice was soft, yet carried an irresistible power, and the entire space fell silent instantly.
The man in black robes paused, his eyes narrowing sharply.
A figure slowly emerged from the depths of the dream network.
"Su Ting?" Su Ting exclaimed in surprise.
The woman stood in the void, her white dress fluttering in the wind, her hair swaying in the air.
But her eyes were completely different from before.
Cold, indifferent, yet containing a deep sorrow.
"She's not Su Ting," the man in black sneered. "You're Meng Ling? What are you doing here!"
Mengling didn't look at him, but instead gazed at Su Ting and said softly, "You've already won. But this isn't over yet."
"What do you want to do?" Su Ting frowned.
Mengling slowly raised her arm, and golden threads of light spread from her fingertips, wrapping around Su Ting's sword.
“I will awaken the ultimate form of dreams… but that means you must pay a price.”
"What price?" Su Ting asked.
Mengling looked at him, a hint of reluctance and pity appearing in her eyes:
"Your consciousness will be sealed forever within the core of the dream. You will become the cornerstone of the dream, and you will forever lose the chance to leave."
The man in black robes suddenly took a step forward: "Meng Ling, are you insane?! You intend to make him take the blame for everything?"
Mengling finally turned her gaze to him and sighed softly:
"You've forgotten who you are... I am the true will of dreams. And you are the lingering regret I was most unwilling to acknowledge."
The man in black robes froze, his expression changing drastically.
"You are……"
"Shut up." Mengling raised her hand, and a golden light shone down.
The man in black robes was struck as if by a heavy blow, his figure twisting violently.
"Where is Su Ting?" Su Ting asked anxiously.
Mengling smiled gently: "She... is waiting for you at the end of the dream. If you dare to take on this responsibility, you will be able to see her again. But you will live in the dream forever."
