The moment the Fortress Domain fully activated inside the Heavenly War Domain, the battlefield transformed into something far more dangerous than any of the previous arenas. Massive floating walls surrounded the central platform like the defenses of an ancient celestial fortress, while towering battlements loomed high above the arena. Giant ballistae and siege weapons embedded in the fortress walls glowed with golden energy, each one aimed directly at the lone challenger standing in the center of the battlefield.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the watching cultivators stared at the screen in stunned silence.
"This battlefield is insane."
"That guardian turned the entire arena into a fortress."
Standing near the front of the crowd, Chen Yu studied the battlefield carefully.
"This enemy doesn't just fight with strength."
Beside him, Yan Feng nodded.
"It controls the entire battlefield."
On the third floor, Long Wei crossed his arms while observing the scene.
"The Heavenly Fortress Guardian was designed to overwhelm intruders."
Even Liu Kang, who normally welcomed difficult fights with enthusiasm, looked uneasy.
"That hammer alone could destroy a mountain."
Standing quietly behind the counter, Lin Tian watched the screen calmly.
Inside his mind, the system panel displayed the Mythic Realm status.
Mythic Realm — Heavenly War Domain
Gate Three Battle Active
Enemy: Heavenly Fortress Guardian
Challenger: Mo Tian
Lin Tian smiled faintly.
"This guardian should be far more difficult than the previous ones."
Inside the simulation, the battlefield had already erupted into chaos.
Massive energy bolts fired from the fortress towers like glowing comets, streaking across the sky toward Mo Tian. Each projectile carried enough power to shatter entire platforms if it struck directly.
At the same time, the Heavenly Fortress Guardian charged forward.
The massive war hammer in its hands swung downward with terrifying force.
Mo Tian moved instantly.
The hammer crashed into the stone platform.
The entire battlefield shook violently.
Fragments of broken stone scattered into the clouds below.
Inside the computer shop, the watching cultivators gasped.
"That attack destroyed half the platform!"
But the guardian did not stop.
It swung the hammer again.
Mo Tian raised his hand.
Dark spiritual energy surged outward, forming a barrier.
The hammer collided with the barrier.
A violent shockwave exploded across the battlefield.
Several fortress walls cracked from the impact.
Inside the shop, the watching crowd shouted.
"That collision shook the entire arena!"
The Fortress Guardian stepped backward slightly.
Then it raised its hammer once again.
Golden runes across its armor began glowing brighter.
The guardian spoke.
"You have passed the trials of the first two gates."
Its voice echoed across the battlefield like a massive war drum.
"But the Heavenly Fortress protects the final battlefield."
Mo Tian looked at the warrior calmly.
"Then I will break the fortress."
The Fortress Guardian raised its hammer high above its head.
The sky above the battlefield darkened instantly.
The system screen inside the shop flashed.
Enemy Skill Activated
Heavenly Fortress Bombardment
Inside the simulation, the fortress towers began firing simultaneously.
Hundreds of energy bolts shot toward the battlefield.
The sky filled with glowing projectiles.
Inside the computer shop, the watching cultivators shouted in alarm.
"That's impossible to dodge!"
But Mo Tian simply stepped forward.
His body moved like a shadow between the falling energy bolts.
One projectile struck the platform behind him.
The explosion shattered the stone.
Another bolt streaked past his shoulder.
The attack barely missed.
Inside the shop, several disciples gasped.
"He's walking through that storm!"
Standing near the screen, Long Wei spoke quietly.
"He's already found the safe path."
Chen Yu nodded.
"The bombardment isn't random."
Inside the Heavenly War Domain, Mo Tian suddenly jumped forward.
His body crossed several floating platforms in an instant.
The Fortress Guardian swung its hammer toward him.
Mo Tian raised his hand.
Dark energy surged around his palm.
The hammer collided with the barrier again.
The impact shook the battlefield.
But this time—
Mo Tian stepped forward through the shockwave.
His palm struck the guardian's chest armor.
The impact echoed across the battlefield like thunder.
Cracks spread across the guardian's silver armor.
Inside the computer shop, the watching cultivators shouted.
"He damaged the armor!"
But the Fortress Guardian was far from defeated.
Its aura suddenly surged.
Golden energy spread across the battlefield.
The guardian spoke again.
"You possess strength worthy of battle."
Its voice grew deeper.
"But the fortress cannot fall."
The hammer struck the ground again.
The floating platforms beneath Mo Tian suddenly shifted.
Massive stone pillars rose from the battlefield.
The arena transformed once more.
Inside the computer shop, the crowd stared in disbelief.
"The battlefield changed again!"
Chen Yu frowned.
"The guardian is controlling the terrain."
Inside the Heavenly War Domain, Mo Tian looked around calmly.
The battlefield had become a maze of massive stone pillars and fortress walls.
Energy bolts continued raining down from the towers.
The Fortress Guardian stepped forward slowly.
Its hammer rested against its shoulder.
"You cannot defeat the fortress."
Mo Tian raised his hand once more.
Dark spiritual energy gathered around him.
Then he spoke quietly.
"Then I will destroy everything."
His aura exploded outward.
The battlefield trembled.
Inside the computer shop, the watching cultivators gasped.
"That pressure…"
"It's incredible!"
Mo Tian stepped forward.
The stone pillars shattered as his aura passed through them.
The fortress towers cracked.
The Fortress Guardian swung its hammer again.
Mo Tian moved.
His palm struck the weapon.
The hammer cracked.
Golden energy burst from the fracture.
Inside the shop, the watching cultivators shouted.
"He damaged the weapon!"
The Fortress Guardian staggered slightly.
For the first time since the battle began—
The guardian appeared unstable.
Mo Tian stepped forward again.
Dark energy surged around his hand.
His palm struck the guardian's chest.
The silver armor shattered.
Cracks of golden light spread across the warrior's body.
The Fortress Guardian looked down at its broken armor.
Then it raised its glowing eyes toward Mo Tian.
"You possess power beyond the mortal battlefield."
Mo Tian lowered his hand slowly.
"Then open the gate."
The guardian stood silently for several seconds.
Then its body began dissolving into golden particles.
"You have defeated the guardian of the third gate."
Its voice echoed across the battlefield.
"The path to the final battlefield is now open."
The warrior disappeared.
Inside the computer shop, the system screen flashed brightly.
HEAVENLY FORTRESS GUARDIAN DEFEATED
The crowd erupted once again.
"He defeated it!"
"That guardian controlled the entire battlefield!"
Standing behind the counter, Lin Tian watched the screen calmly.
Inside his mind, the system panel flashed again.
Mythic Realm Progress Updated
Gate Three Cleared
Inside the Heavenly War Domain, the battlefield stabilized once more.
The fortress walls faded away.
The floating platforms rearranged themselves.
At the far end of the battlefield…
A massive final Heavenly Gate slowly appeared.
This gate was unlike the others.
Ancient divine runes covered its surface.
Golden light leaked through the cracks between its enormous doors.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the watching cultivators fell silent.
Because everyone understood what that gate meant.
Beyond it…
The final boss of the Mythic Realm was waiting.
