Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the atmosphere had grown so tense that even the faint flicker of the screens seemed loud in the silence. Every cultivator in the hall remained frozen in place, their eyes fixed on the massive display showing the battle inside the Ancient God Battlefield.
The wasteland battlefield looked almost destroyed.
Crimson lightning flashed across the sky while enormous craters scarred the ground. The earlier attack "Spear of Divine Execution" had torn apart a large portion of the ruins, leaving behind shattered stone and rising clouds of dust.
At the center of the battlefield stood two figures.
One was the towering armored warrior known as the Godslayer Sentinel.
The other was Han Jue, the challenger who had already defeated the Fallen God Titan.
Inside the café, several disciples whispered nervously.
"That last attack…"
"…could have killed anyone."
Nearby, Liu Kang leaned forward with wide eyes.
"Hahaha… that spear was insane."
Beside him, Chen Yu frowned slightly.
"But Han Jue avoided it perfectly."
Yan Feng nodded.
"That move saved the fight."
On the third-floor balcony overlooking the hall, Long Wei watched the battlefield carefully.
"The sentinel will not waste that attack again."
Beside him, Mo Tian remained calm.
But his gaze remained fixed on the screen.
Inside the simulation, the sentinel pulled the crimson spear from the shattered ground.
The weapon hummed with terrifying power.
Crimson lightning wrapped around the blade like living flames.
The sentinel slowly lifted its head.
Its burning eyes locked onto Han Jue again.
"You survived the spear."
Its deep voice echoed across the battlefield.
"Few warriors have done so."
Han Jue raised his sword calmly.
"That spear was impressive."
The sentinel tilted its head slightly.
"Then face it again."
Without warning—
The sentinel vanished.
Inside the café, several cultivators shouted.
"He disappeared again!"
The next moment—
The crimson spear appeared directly in front of Han Jue.
The weapon moved like a streak of lightning.
Han Jue reacted instantly.
His sword rose.
The weapons collided.
A violent shockwave exploded across the battlefield.
The cracked earth beneath them shattered further.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators gasped.
"That attack was even faster!"
Inside the simulation, the sentinel attacked again.
Its spear technique had grown even more aggressive.
Each strike aimed for a vital point.
Han Jue stepped backward while blocking the attacks.
The silver blade clashed with the crimson spear again and again.
Golden sparks scattered across the battlefield.
Standing near the screen, Chen Yu whispered quietly.
"The sentinel is pushing harder."
Yan Feng nodded.
"It's trying to overwhelm him."
Inside the simulation, the sentinel suddenly changed its stance.
The spear spun through the air.
Then it thrust forward again.
This time the attack came from above.
Han Jue jumped sideways.
The spear struck the ground behind him.
The explosion created another massive crater.
Inside the café, Liu Kang whistled.
"That spear is ridiculous."
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian calmly watched the battle.
Inside his mind, the system panel updated again.
HIGH-INTENSITY BOSS COMBAT DETECTED
REALM EVOLUTION PROGRESS: 54%
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"The sentinel's second phase is accelerating the system."
Inside the simulation, Han Jue suddenly stepped forward.
Instead of continuing to retreat—
He attacked.
His sword flashed.
The blade struck the sentinel's cracked chest armor again.
The fracture widened dramatically.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators shouted.
"He's breaking the armor!"
But the sentinel reacted instantly.
It swung the spear sideways.
Han Jue ducked just in time.
The spear cut through the air above him.
The force of the attack shattered several nearby ruins.
Inside the simulation, Han Jue moved again.
He stepped inside the sentinel's guard.
His sword flashed.
The blade struck the sentinel's shoulder.
Another crack appeared.
Inside the café, Chen Yu whispered.
"He's dismantling the armor piece by piece."
Yan Feng nodded.
"That's the only way to defeat a boss like this."
Inside the simulation, the sentinel suddenly roared.
Crimson lightning exploded across the battlefield.
The spear spun violently in its hands.
Then the system warning appeared again.
BOSS SKILL ACTIVATED
CRIMSON SPEAR PHANTOMS
Inside the café, several cultivators shouted nervously.
"That's a new skill!"
Inside the simulation, dozens of crimson spear images suddenly appeared around the sentinel.
Each phantom weapon pointed toward Han Jue.
The battlefield filled with deadly illusions.
Standing near the screen, Chen Yu frowned.
"Which one is real?"
Inside the simulation, the phantom spears shot forward.
Han Jue sprinted across the battlefield.
The illusions struck the ground around him.
Explosions erupted everywhere.
But Han Jue continued moving.
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian observed quietly.
"He's analyzing the pattern."
Inside the simulation, Han Jue suddenly turned.
His sword flashed.
The blade struck one of the incoming spears.
The illusion shattered instantly.
Then—
The real spear appeared.
The sentinel thrust the weapon forward.
Han Jue barely blocked the strike.
The shockwave blasted across the battlefield.
Inside the café, Liu Kang shouted.
"That was the real one!"
Inside the simulation, Han Jue pushed the spear aside.
Then he stepped forward again.
His sword flashed.
The blade struck the sentinel's chest armor.
This time—
The armor shattered completely.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators erupted.
"He broke the armor!"
Inside the simulation, the sentinel staggered slightly.
Crimson energy leaked from the shattered armor.
But the sentinel still held its spear firmly.
Its burning eyes locked onto Han Jue.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the cultivators leaned closer to the screen once again.
Because the battle between Han Jue and the Godslayer Sentinel had reached the moment where one final clash…
…could decide the outcome of the fight.
