The floating battlefield of the Heavenly War Domain trembled violently as the final clash between Mo Tian and the Heavenly War Commander erupted across the sky. The divine platforms that had once formed an orderly battlefield were now scattered fragments of broken stone drifting among the clouds, many of them shattered during the fierce exchange between the two powerful warriors.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the crowd watching the battle had grown so large that even the entrance hall was packed with cultivators. Disciples from every peak of the Lingyuan Sect, along with visitors from distant sects, stood shoulder to shoulder as they stared at the enormous screen displaying the Mythic Realm.
No one dared to look away.
The atmosphere inside the building was so quiet that the faint sound of breathing could be heard among the crowd.
"This battle…" one disciple whispered.
"…is completely different from the dragon fight."
Standing near the screen, Chen Yu watched with a serious expression.
"The Heavenly War Commander is much more dangerous."
Beside him, Yan Feng nodded slowly.
"The dragon relied mostly on raw power."
He gestured toward the screen where the crimson-armored warrior stood among the shattered platforms.
"But that commander fights like a true battlefield expert."
On the third floor, Long Wei observed the battle carefully.
"The commander's combat technique is extremely refined."
Even Liu Kang, who normally enjoyed intense fights, looked unusually focused.
"That guy is no ordinary enemy."
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian quietly watched the screen.
Inside his mind, the system panel displayed the Mythic Realm progress.
Mythic Realm — Heavenly War Domain
Gate Two Battle: Final Phase
Challenger: Mo Tian
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"The system designed a proper opponent this time."
Inside the simulation, the battlefield had become chaotic.
Floating platforms drifted across the sky like fragments of a shattered world. Broken pieces of stone slowly fell into the clouds below while divine energy continued swirling through the air from the earlier clashes.
At the center of the battlefield stood the Heavenly War Commander.
Its crimson armor was now covered in deep cracks.
The massive blade it carried had also been damaged during the earlier clash with Mo Tian.
But despite the damage, the warrior's aura had not weakened.
Instead, it seemed to grow even more intense.
The Heavenly War Commander raised its broken weapon once again.
Its glowing eyes locked onto Mo Tian.
"You possess extraordinary strength," it said.
Its voice echoed across the battlefield like the roar of a distant storm.
"But this battlefield belongs to the heavens."
Mo Tian stood calmly on a floating stone platform several meters away.
His black robes moved slightly in the wind.
His expression remained completely relaxed.
"You speak too much."
The Heavenly War Commander stepped forward.
The platform beneath its feet cracked under the pressure of its aura.
Then it raised its blade.
The sky above the battlefield darkened instantly.
Crimson energy gathered around the warrior like a rising storm.
Inside the computer shop, the system screen flashed.
Enemy Skill Activated
War Commander's Final Judgment
Inside the simulation, the floating battlefield began to change again.
Massive cracks spread across the clouds themselves as ancient war banners appeared across the sky.
A deep drumbeat echoed through the battlefield.
It sounded like the march of an enormous army.
Inside the shop, several disciples gasped.
"What is happening now?"
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.
"That must be its ultimate ability."
Inside the Heavenly War Domain, the Heavenly War Commander lifted its blade high above its head.
The crimson energy gathered around the weapon grew brighter.
The warrior spoke again.
"Witness the judgment of the battlefield."
The blade descended.
A massive wave of destructive energy shot across the floating platforms like a collapsing wall.
The attack tore through the battlefield.
Entire platforms shattered instantly.
Mo Tian moved.
His body disappeared from the path of the attack just before the wave reached him.
The energy crashed into the distant platforms.
Explosions filled the sky.
Inside the computer shop, the watching crowd shouted.
"That attack destroyed half the battlefield!"
But the Heavenly War Commander was not finished.
It moved again.
The warrior leapt across the shattered platforms with incredible speed.
The broken blade swung downward.
Mo Tian raised his hand.
Dark spiritual energy surged around him.
The blade collided with the barrier.
The shockwave spread across the sky like thunder.
Several nearby platforms collapsed from the force.
Inside the shop, the watching cultivators struggled to follow the battle.
"They're moving too fast!"
"I can barely see them!"
Standing near the screen, Long Wei spoke quietly.
"The commander is fighting desperately now."
Chen Yu nodded.
"It knows it's losing."
Inside the Heavenly War Domain, Mo Tian stepped forward calmly.
Dark energy gathered around his palm once again.
His strike collided with the commander's chest.
The impact echoed across the battlefield.
The crimson armor shattered further.
But the Heavenly War Commander refused to retreat.
Its aura surged violently.
The broken blade swung again.
Mo Tian caught the weapon with his bare hand.
The battlefield froze.
Inside the computer shop, the watching cultivators gasped.
"He stopped the blade!"
Cracks spread across the commander's weapon.
The blade shattered.
Fragments of metal scattered across the battlefield.
The Heavenly War Commander stepped backward.
For the first time since the battle began—
The warrior seemed unsteady.
Mo Tian lowered his hand slowly.
The broken weapon fell from the commander's grasp.
The crimson-armored warrior looked down at its empty hands.
Then it raised its gaze toward Mo Tian.
"You possess power beyond mortal warriors."
Mo Tian stepped forward.
"Then this battle ends here."
Dark energy surged around his hand once more.
His palm struck the commander's chest.
The impact sent a shockwave across the floating platforms.
The crimson armor shattered completely.
The Heavenly War Commander staggered backward.
Cracks of golden light spread across its body.
The warrior looked toward the sky.
Then it spoke one final time.
"You have defeated the guardian of the second gate."
Its body began dissolving into golden particles.
"But beyond this gate…"
"…the battlefield becomes far more dangerous."
The armored figure disappeared.
Inside the computer shop, the system screen flashed brightly.
HEAVENLY WAR COMMANDER DEFEATED
The crowd erupted into cheers.
"He did it!"
"That commander looked unstoppable!"
Chen Yu shook his head slowly.
"That strength…"
Yan Feng crossed his arms.
"…is terrifying."
Long Wei remained silent.
But his eyes burned with interest.
Inside the simulation, the battlefield slowly stabilized.
The shattered platforms began rearranging themselves as divine energy repaired the arena.
At the far end of the battlefield, another massive Heavenly Gate appeared.
This gate was even larger than the previous ones.
Ancient runes glowed across its surface.
A powerful aura leaked from the space beyond the gate.
Inside the computer shop, the crowd grew quiet again.
Because everyone understood something important.
The Heavenly War Commander had only been the guardian of the second gate.
And the deeper Mo Tian traveled into the Mythic Realm…
The more terrifying the enemies waiting ahead would become.
