Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the tension inside the hall had reached its peak. No one spoke anymore. Even the cultivators who had been loudly reacting during the earlier battles now stood completely still, their eyes fixed on the giant screen.
The battle inside the Ancient God Battlefield had reached its decisive moment.
On the screen, the wasteland battlefield flickered with crimson lightning as the Godslayer Sentinel staggered backward. The enormous crack in its chest armor had finally shattered completely under Han Jue's relentless attacks.
Fragments of the ancient armor fell to the ground like broken pieces of a forgotten relic.
Beneath the shattered armor, crimson energy pulsed like a corrupted heart.
Inside the café, several cultivators whispered nervously.
"He broke the armor…"
"But the sentinel is still standing."
Nearby, Liu Kang leaned forward excitedly.
"Hahaha… this is it!"
Beside him, Chen Yu frowned slightly.
"The sentinel won't fall easily."
Yan Feng nodded slowly.
"Not after revealing its second phase."
On the third-floor balcony overlooking the hall, Long Wei rested his arms on the railing.
"The final clash is coming."
Beside him, Mo Tian remained calm.
But his gaze remained locked onto the battlefield.
Inside the simulation, the sentinel slowly straightened its massive body.
Crimson energy surged violently from the broken armor across its chest.
The sentinel's breathing grew heavier.
Its crimson eyes burned brighter than ever before.
Then it spoke.
"You have broken the armor of a godslayer."
Its voice echoed across the ruined wasteland.
"Few warriors have achieved such a feat."
Han Jue raised his sword calmly.
"I didn't come here to stop halfway."
Inside the café, Liu Kang laughed.
"Hahaha! That's the spirit!"
Inside the simulation, the sentinel suddenly lifted its spear.
Crimson lightning wrapped around the weapon again.
The spear hummed with terrifying power.
The sentinel's voice grew colder.
"But even without armor…"
The spear pointed toward Han Jue.
"…this spear still kills gods."
Then—
The sentinel attacked.
The crimson spear shot forward like a lightning bolt.
Han Jue reacted instantly.
His sword rose.
The weapons collided.
A massive shockwave exploded across the battlefield.
The cracked ground shattered further under their feet.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators gasped.
"That impact was insane!"
Inside the simulation, the sentinel attacked again.
Its spear technique became more aggressive.
Without the armor restricting its movements, the sentinel moved faster than before.
Each strike forced Han Jue to retreat slightly.
Standing near the screen, Chen Yu whispered quietly.
"The sentinel's speed increased again."
Yan Feng nodded.
"It's sacrificing defense for offense."
Inside the simulation, the sentinel spun the spear through the air.
Then it thrust downward.
Han Jue jumped sideways.
The spear pierced the ground.
Crimson energy exploded outward.
A massive crater appeared instantly.
Inside the café, Liu Kang whistled.
"That spear is unstoppable."
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian quietly watched the system panel inside his mind.
SECOND GUARDIAN — CRITICAL DAMAGE DETECTED
REALM EVOLUTION PROGRESS: 60%
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"The sentinel is nearing defeat."
Inside the simulation, Han Jue suddenly stepped forward.
Instead of retreating from the sentinel's attacks—
He charged.
His sword flashed.
The blade struck the exposed energy core inside the sentinel's chest.
Crimson sparks exploded outward.
Inside the café, several cultivators shouted.
"He hit the core!"
But the sentinel did not retreat.
Instead—
It roared.
Crimson lightning exploded across the battlefield.
The sentinel lifted its spear high into the sky.
The entire battlefield trembled.
Then the system warning appeared.
BOSS FINAL SKILL ACTIVATED
GODSLAYER ANNIHILATION
Inside the café, several cultivators shouted nervously.
"That sounds like the final attack!"
Inside the simulation, crimson energy gathered around the sentinel's spear.
The weapon glowed brighter and brighter.
The sky above the battlefield turned completely red.
Lightning spiraled around the spear like a divine storm.
The sentinel's voice echoed across the wasteland.
"This spear…"
Crimson energy surged violently.
"…ends all battles."
Then—
It struck.
The sentinel lunged forward.
The spear shot toward Han Jue with terrifying speed.
Han Jue raised his sword.
The silver blade clashed against the crimson spear.
The battlefield exploded.
A massive shockwave blasted across the ruins.
Dust and lightning filled the air.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators shielded their eyes.
The screen flashed with blinding light.
For several seconds—
No one could see what happened.
Then the dust slowly cleared.
Inside the battlefield, two figures still stood.
The sentinel's spear had stopped.
The silver blade of Han Jue's sword had pierced directly into the crimson core inside the sentinel's chest.
Inside the café, the watching cultivators froze.
"He…"
"…he did it."
Inside the simulation, the sentinel looked down at the sword.
Crimson cracks spread across its body.
Then it laughed softly.
"You are worthy."
Its voice echoed across the battlefield.
"You have surpassed the guardians of this realm."
Crimson light began dissolving the sentinel's body.
The massive spear slipped from its hand.
Then the sentinel slowly collapsed into fragments of glowing energy.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the screen flashed brightly.
GODSLAYER SENTINEL — DEFEATED
For several seconds, the entire hall remained silent.
Then—
The building erupted.
"He defeated the second guardian!"
"That sentinel was terrifying!"
"Unbelievable!"
Liu Kang laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! That fight was insane!"
Chen Yu stared at the screen.
"If that was the second boss…"
Yan Feng finished the thought quietly.
"…then the final enemy of this realm will be even worse."
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian watched the glowing battlefield calmly.
Because the system panel inside his mind had already displayed the next message.
ANCIENT GOD BATTLEFIELD
FINAL GUARDIAN AWAKENING
And the true ruler of the battlefield…
…was about to appear.
