The moment the Heavenly General dissolved into golden light, the floating battlefield inside the Heavenly War Domain grew quiet once again. The broken stone platform where the battle had taken place slowly stabilized as fragments of divine energy drifted through the air like fading embers.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the crowd that had been watching the battle erupted into excited conversation.
"He defeated it!"
"That Heavenly General looked stronger than the dragon!"
"I thought that spear storm would destroy the entire battlefield!"
Even the cultivators who had previously conquered the Dragon Ruins could not hide their surprise.
Standing near the screen, Chen Yu exhaled slowly.
"That enemy was on another level."
Beside him, Yan Feng nodded thoughtfully.
"The control of its spear technique was incredible."
On the third floor, Long Wei remained focused on the screen.
"The Heavenly War Domain is clearly designed to test true experts."
Even Liu Kang, who normally laughed during intense battles, looked serious.
"If the first gatekeeper is already that strong…"
"…then what kind of monster guards the next gate?"
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian quietly observed the reactions of the crowd.
Inside his mind, the system panel displayed the progress of the Mythic Realm.
Mythic Realm — Heavenly War Domain
Gate One Cleared
Current Challenger: Mo Tian
Lin Tian smiled faintly.
"The real test begins now."
Inside the simulation, the floating battlefield slowly changed.
The golden energy that had surrounded the first arena gradually faded as the massive Heavenly Gate at the far end of the platform began to open.
Ancient runes carved into the gate glowed brightly.
A deep rumbling sound echoed across the battlefield as the enormous doors slowly parted.
Beyond the gate, another section of the heavenly battlefield appeared.
This new arena was even larger than the first.
Massive floating platforms stretched across the sky like stepping stones leading deeper into the heavens. Enormous statues of ancient warriors stood at the edges of the platforms, their stone weapons raised as if they were silently guarding the path forward.
A powerful pressure filled the air.
Inside the computer shop, several disciples whispered nervously.
"That place feels even more dangerous."
"Just looking at it makes me nervous."
Inside the simulation, Mo Tian stepped forward calmly.
His black robes moved slightly as the wind of the heavenly battlefield passed through the floating platforms.
His expression remained unchanged.
As if the battle with the Heavenly General had only been a warm-up.
The moment he crossed the gate…
The entire battlefield trembled.
Inside the computer shop, the system screen flashed again.
WARNING
Gate Two Guardian Appearing
The clouds above the battlefield began swirling violently.
A powerful aura descended from the sky.
Moments later, a second figure appeared.
Unlike the first Heavenly General, this warrior wore dark crimson armor that radiated a heavy aura of killing intent. The armor was covered in countless ancient scars, as if the warrior had fought in countless battles across the ages.
Instead of a spear, this guardian carried a massive war blade.
The blade itself was nearly as tall as the warrior.
Its surface glowed faintly with destructive energy.
The system message appeared.
Enemy Detected
Heavenly War Commander
Inside the computer shop, the crowd gasped.
"A commander?"
"That sounds stronger than the general!"
Chen Yu frowned slightly.
"The aura is definitely stronger."
Yan Feng nodded.
"That blade looks terrifying."
Inside the Heavenly War Domain, the armored warrior slowly lifted its weapon.
Its glowing eyes locked onto Mo Tian.
Then it spoke.
"Mortal cultivator…"
"You have defeated the gatekeeper."
Its voice carried a heavy pressure that echoed across the battlefield.
"But this battlefield is not meant for mortals."
Mo Tian looked at the warrior calmly.
"Then why does it exist?"
The Heavenly War Commander raised its blade.
"To test whether mortals are worthy to challenge the heavens."
The warrior took a single step forward.
The floating platform beneath its feet cracked from the pressure of its aura.
Inside the computer shop, several disciples instinctively stepped back.
"That pressure is insane!"
The Heavenly War Commander suddenly moved.
Its massive blade swept across the battlefield.
The attack cut through the air like a collapsing mountain.
Mo Tian moved instantly.
His body vanished from the path of the strike.
The blade crashed into the floating platform.
The entire arena shook.
Fragments of stone fell into the endless clouds below.
Inside the shop, the watching cultivators shouted.
"That attack was even stronger than the spear!"
Inside the battlefield, the Heavenly War Commander attacked again.
Its blade moved with incredible force, each strike sending waves of destructive energy across the arena.
But Mo Tian continued moving calmly through the storm of attacks.
His movements were smooth.
Effortless.
The two figures clashed across the floating platforms like shadows moving through the sky.
Inside the computer shop, even the most experienced cultivators struggled to follow the battle.
"They're too fast!"
"I can barely see the attacks!"
Standing near the screen, Long Wei spoke quietly.
"The Heavenly War Commander's power is greater than the Heavenly General."
Chen Yu nodded.
"But Mo Tian still isn't struggling."
Inside the Heavenly War Domain, Mo Tian finally counterattacked.
Dark spiritual energy gathered around his hand once more.
He struck toward the commander's chest.
The impact echoed across the battlefield.
The crimson armor cracked slightly.
Inside the computer shop, several disciples shouted.
"He damaged it!"
But the Heavenly War Commander did not retreat.
Instead, its aura suddenly exploded outward.
The system message flashed again.
Enemy Skill Activated
War Domain — Crimson Destruction
The sky above the battlefield turned dark red.
Hundreds of energy blades appeared in the air.
They shot toward the battlefield like a storm of falling swords.
Inside the shop, the crowd gasped.
"That attack covers everything!"
But Mo Tian raised his hand again.
Dark energy surged around him.
The falling blades collided against his barrier.
Explosions filled the battlefield.
When the smoke cleared…
Mo Tian remained standing.
Completely unharmed.
Inside the computer shop, the watching cultivators stared in disbelief.
"He blocked it again…"
"That attack looked unstoppable!"
Inside the Heavenly War Domain, the Heavenly War Commander paused.
Its glowing eyes studied Mo Tian carefully.
Then it spoke.
"You possess strength worthy of the battlefield."
Mo Tian looked at the warrior calmly.
"Then move aside."
The Heavenly War Commander raised its blade once more.
"Only by defeating me… may you pass."
The two figures clashed again.
Their battle shook the floating platforms.
Shockwaves spread across the clouds as their attacks collided.
Inside the computer shop, the crowd held their breath.
Because the fight between the black-robed elder and the Heavenly War Commander had only just begun.
And deeper within the Heavenly War Domain…
Even stronger enemies were waiting.
