Chapter 1804
Sky’s breakthrough shocked Omniscient Deity. Back then, it took him a century to finally cross into
the ninth rank. Meanwhile, Sky only needed a couple of years to aplish that. The Dragon
Essence and the dragon’s blood were indeed good stuff.
Looking at Sky with aposed look on his face, he asked, “Why are you here at Mount Jade
when you’re supposed to be in Tacriyrus?”
“Master, I havee to challenge you,” Sky said calmly.
The Omniscient Deity was not surprised. He had watched Sky grow.
Sky was an extremely ambitious and power-hungry man. He wanted to stand at the very top of the
power pyramid. Meanwhile, as Sky’s master, he was an uncrossable obstacle in his path to
greatness. To be the most powerful individual in the world, Sky would have to defeat him first.
“Very well…” The Omniscient Deity nodded slightly and said, “Since you insist, I’ll allow you to
challenge me. The battle will take ce on Mount Kirkton in a week.”
After he said that, the Omniscient Deity disappeared without a trace.
Once he left, a middle-aged man walked over to Sky and knelt before him. “Sect Leader.”
Sky waved slightly and said, “Stand up and speak.”
“Understood.” The middle-aged man stood.
Sky ordered, “I want you to spread the word. In a week, I will challenge the Omniscient Deity to a
duel on Mount Kirkton.”
“Understood.”
In the small vige…
Over the past few days, Thea was filled with consternation for the Cahans’ safety.
After leaving for four days, Can returned. The moment he returned, he immediately went looking
for James.
James asked, “Is the matter resolved, Can?”
Can nodded and said, “Yes, the matter is resolved. The Lockheed family of Hurstmal was the one
who made a move against the Cahans. The Lockheeds were furious after learning that Tommy
Cahan slept with a maidservant of the Lockheeds’ Young Master. I showed up and managed to
defuse the situation amicably. However…”
Can’s expression turned grim.
Thea asked anxiously, “What is it?”
James waited for Can to continue.
Can said, “The Lockheeds are merely an ordinary family, just like the Hansels. Their Patriarch is
only at the fifth rank. With you and Thea having the Cahans’ back, technically, they should not
have recklessly made a move against the Cahans for fear of reprisal. After thorough investigation,
I discovered that someone has been manipting them behind the scenes.”
“Who?” Thea and James asked in unison.
Can shook his head, “I have limited time, so I returned to inform you of my findings before I can
further investigate the matter. James, we can now be sure that someone’s targeting you behind the
scenes. However, they do not dare fight against you in the open. That was why they resorted to
such an underhanded tactic. You have to be on your guard.”
James was lost in thought.
Someone was targeting him…but who? Perhaps the Johnstons? Could it be Maxine?
He could not figure anything out.
“By the way, there’s something I think you should know,” Can said, reminded of something.
“What is it?” James asked.
Can answered, “Sky challenged the Omniscient Deity to a duel, which thetter epted right
away. The battle will take ce on Mount Kirkton in three days.”
“Sky challenged Omniscient Deity to a duel?”
James froze.
He did not expect this to happen.
The Omniscient Deity was an immortal who had lived for two millennia. Sky, on the other hand, only
recently crossed into the ninth rank, so he never expected Sky to challenge the Omniscient Deity so
soon.
Can grinned, “James, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness a battle between two
ninth-rank martial artists. Aren’t you interested in going?”

“Of course I am!” James blurted.
Immediately, he turned to look at Thea and said, “However, Thea’s baby is due in two months. I
have to remain by her side.”
