The clash between Mo Tian and the Heavenly War Commander instantly escalated into a battle far more intense than the previous confrontation with the Heavenly General. The floating platforms of the Heavenly War Domain trembled violently beneath the force of their attacks, while waves of spiritual energy rolled across the divine battlefield like thunder across the sky.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the atmosphere had grown completely silent.
Hundreds of cultivators stood shoulder to shoulder across every floor of the building, their eyes fixed on the massive screen displaying the Mythic Realm battle. Even the cultivators who had previously been arguing about techniques or discussing strategies now stood quietly, afraid to miss even a single moment of the fight.
"This battle is unbelievable," one disciple whispered.
"That commander is even stronger than the dragon."
Standing near the front of the crowd, Chen Yu studied the screen with intense focus.
"The power of that blade is terrifying."
Beside him, Yan Feng nodded slowly.
"The Heavenly War Commander fights like a true battlefield veteran."
On the third floor, Long Wei narrowed his eyes.
"That's not just brute strength. That warrior is using real combat strategy."
Even Liu Kang, who normally enjoyed reckless combat, had stopped smiling.
"That guy is dangerous."
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian quietly observed the battle.
Inside his mind, the system panel displayed the current Mythic Realm progress.
Mythic Realm — Heavenly War Domain
Gate Two Battle Active
Challenger: Mo Tian
Lin Tian crossed his arms slightly.
"The Mythic Realm is performing better than expected."
Inside the simulation, the floating battlefield had already been heavily damaged.
Several stone platforms had cracked or shattered entirely during the intense exchange between the two warriors. Pieces of broken stone continued falling through the clouds below as the divine battlefield slowly adjusted to the destructive forces clashing upon it.
At the center of the arena, the Heavenly War Commander lifted its massive blade again.
Golden and crimson energy swirled around the weapon as the warrior stepped forward.
"You possess strength worthy of battle," the armored figure spoke.
Its voice echoed across the sky like distant thunder.
"But you will not pass this gate."
Mo Tian stood calmly several meters away.
His black robes fluttered slightly as the wind of the battlefield passed through the floating platforms.
His expression remained completely relaxed.
"As long as you stand here…"
"…I will simply defeat you."
The Heavenly War Commander responded immediately.
Its body vanished from its position.
A streak of crimson light flashed across the battlefield.
The massive war blade descended from above like a falling mountain.
Mo Tian moved instantly.
The blade crashed into the platform where he had been standing.
The impact shattered the stone completely.
The floating platform split apart and collapsed into the clouds below.
Inside the computer shop, the watching crowd gasped.
"That attack destroyed the entire platform!"
"If someone was hit by that…"
But Mo Tian had already reappeared on another nearby platform.
The Heavenly War Commander did not pause.
It jumped across the battlefield with terrifying speed, its heavy armor moving with surprising agility.
The massive blade swept horizontally.
Mo Tian raised his hand.
Dark spiritual energy gathered instantly.
The blade collided with the barrier.
A violent shockwave exploded outward.
The nearby platforms trembled violently.
Inside the shop, the watching disciples shouted.
"That impact shook the entire arena!"
But the battle had only just begun.
The Heavenly War Commander attacked again.
Its blade moved like a storm of destruction, each strike powerful enough to shatter stone platforms and distort the air.
Mo Tian moved through the battlefield like a shadow.
Every attack barely missed him.
Every movement he made was precise.
Effortless.
Standing near the screen, Long Wei spoke quietly.
"He's studying the enemy."
Chen Yu nodded.
"He hasn't used his full power yet."
Inside the Heavenly War Domain, Mo Tian finally stepped forward.
Dark energy gathered around his palm once again.
His strike collided with the commander's chest armor.
The impact cracked the crimson armor.
But the Heavenly War Commander did not retreat.
Instead—
Its aura suddenly exploded outward.
The battlefield darkened.
The system message appeared on the screen.
Enemy Skill Activated
War Commander's Domain
Inside the simulation, the floating battlefield changed instantly.
The sky above turned deep crimson.
Ancient war banners appeared across the platforms.
Ghostly armies of armored soldiers materialized around the battlefield.
Inside the computer shop, the watching cultivators gasped.
"What is that?!"
"An entire battlefield illusion?!"
The Heavenly War Commander raised its blade.
"Within my domain…"
"…all enemies are surrounded."
The ghostly soldiers charged forward.
Hundreds of spectral warriors rushed toward Mo Tian.
Each carried ancient weapons glowing with spiritual energy.
Inside the shop, several disciples shouted in alarm.
"That's too many enemies!"
But Mo Tian simply looked around calmly.
His gaze moved across the battlefield.
The ghostly army closed in from every direction.
Then he raised his hand.
Dark spiritual energy surged outward.
The spectral soldiers shattered instantly.
Their forms dissolved like smoke under the pressure of his power.
Inside the shop, the crowd gasped again.
"He destroyed the entire army!"
But the Heavenly War Commander had already moved.
Its massive blade descended again.
Mo Tian stepped forward.
This time—
He did not dodge.
His palm struck the blade.
The impact froze the battlefield.
For a brief moment, both warriors stood locked in place.
Then—
Cracks spread across the commander's weapon.
Inside the computer shop, the watching cultivators shouted.
"He broke the blade!"
The Heavenly War Commander stepped backward for the first time.
Its glowing eyes studied Mo Tian carefully.
"You possess strength worthy of the divine battlefield."
Mo Tian lowered his hand slowly.
"If that is true…"
"…then this battle is finished."
The Heavenly War Commander raised its broken weapon again.
Its aura surged one final time.
The battlefield trembled violently.
Both warriors moved simultaneously.
Their final clash exploded across the floating platforms like a storm.
Inside the computer shop, the watching cultivators held their breath.
Because the battle for Gate Two of the Heavenly War Domain had reached its final moment.
