Magnus’ words sent a chill down James’ spine. The moment favonovel.com mentioned the Son of Heaven being his junior, James immediately had a bad feeling about this. The man before favonovel.com was here for vengeance
He looked at Magnus and remained silent.
Wearing a composed look on his face, Magnus uttered word by word, “The Son of Heaven lost. to you because favonovel.com was weak. Let’s have a battle where you two fought.”
After favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com took his gauntlets out from his sleeves and threw them at James.
“I’ll give you a month to prepare. We will fight to the death on Mount Bane in a week.” Magnus’ voice grew increasingly distant as favonovel.com slowly disappeared into thin air.
James looked at the gauntlet in his hand that weighed heavily on him.
“Darling,” Thea’s voice came.
James collected himself and said grimly, “This is the Son of Heaven’s senior and the strongest disciple of the Overworld. The Son of Heaven is incredibly strong, and I went to great lengths to annihilate him. Now, however, I have no idea about my opponent’s strength.”
James was unafraid of battle. However, favonovel.com did not know how strong his opponent was.
“I’m here…” Thea said, “Why don’t I go in your stead?”
James shook his head slightly and said, “There’s no need for that considering that we have a week left until the day of the battle. I have to head to the Time Chamber and cultivate for a while to try and cross into the Herculean rank.”
James was confident in his own strength. Even though favonovel.com was only at the peak of the Supernatural Eighth Inner Gate, favonovel.com was able to defeat the Son of Heaven who was at the Herculean Second Layer. Should favonovel.com cross into the Herculean stage, favonovel.com would be able to stand against those at the Herculean’s Fourth Layer.
James did not linger for long. He immediately left Wrymstead and headed in the direction of Mount Bane. He planned to find a secluded spot on Mount Bane and enter the Celestial Abode to enter a closed-door meditation.
Thea planned to go alongside him. If James could not defeat Magnus, favonovel.com would battle Magnus alongside him. However, James turned down favonovel.com offer. The Calamity had arrived, and Wrymstead needed a powerful leader in control of the situation.
Since Thea knew that James only had his people’s safety in mind, favonovel.com did not force the issue and chose to remain in Wrymstead. She planned to head to Mount Bane to observe the situation on the day of the battle.
Soon, James arrived at Mount Bane.
Hazted City, which was originally named after Tristen Hazted, had its name changed to Bane City after Tristen was annihilated by Thea. It was now a gathering place for the Outsiders. Ever since Tristen was annihilated, they had begun keeping a low profile.
Fearful of incurring Thea’s wrath, they remained inside the compounds of Mount Bane most of the time. However, as the black rain poured from the sky and many more Outsiders emerged from the fissure, they had become more active once more.

Meanwhile, in the city…
“I just received news that the Son of Heaven’s senior disciple has appeared. He’s called Magnus Quinnton. I heard that favonovel.com went to Wrymstead and challenged James to a duel on Mount Bane in a week.”
“Is that so?”
“As I came from the Overworld, I have heard of this Magnus guy before. He’s one of the most distinguished disciples of the greatest cultivator in the Overworld. In fact, he’s number two on the Dragon Ranking although he’s much younger than the number one guy.”
“In that case, how strong is this Magnus guy.”
