The moment Lex returned to the Dream realm, he ventured far away from the position he arrived in, until he reached a dream where he sensed no other living being. Once he was sure that there wasn't anyone around he could accidentally hurt, he braced himself.
Before returning to the Dream realm, Lex had gone to the Innkeepers office and had used the scent diffuser alongside a Celestial level item to elevate his mental state. If this attempt didn't work, then he would go back and use a Dao material if he had to.
Letting his enemy dictate his actions was setting himself up to fail. It was time to put finesse and technique behind him, and use good old brute force!
Without any concern that he may harm someone around him, Lex let go of all restrictions on his Dao Body, letting it act and react as it pleased. If he knew how to, he would have even forcefully increased the activity of his Dao Body, but that was still beyond him.
