It was true that Ambrose had been Sect Master of the Elysium Gate for quite some time, but the Carter family members rarely referred to him as the Young Master.
Chester, who had been standing watch the entire time, frowned lightly.
Cayden was a reckless man, but he was no fool. Since he had the nerve to challenge Ambrose, it must mean that he had tricks up his sleeve. Chester felt the urge to rush forward, yet he knew he would give the Heavenly Alliance plenty to mock about if he did so. They would say he teamed up with Ambrose to fight Cayde—two against one—outnumbering the opponent.
That was why Chester had held back from making a move.
Murmurs of conversation rang among the Carter family members. Even the Heavenly Alliance members seemed to have their brows tightly knit—worry for Cayden written all over their faces.
Ambrose had made a name for himself long before Cayden had and even had the Tyrant Hammer to wield in his power. The Heavenly Alliance's Guardian might not last through the fight.
The murmurs did not stop. Yet Cayden looked utterly relaxed, devoid of any fear.
"You think that'll be able to stop me?"
Cayden's tone was ice-cold as he raised his arms slowly. A ball of golden light began to form in mid-air before morphing into a golden shield ahead of Cayden.
That was the ultimate skill that Rogart had passed on to Cayden— the Heavenly Shield.
That skill was considered a mid to low-level skill in the Godly Region, but it was top tier in the Nine Mainland.
A shield condensed with internal energy?
Ambrose sneered as he eyed the golden shield Cayden had conjured out of internal energy. Sure, the shield looked powerful. He was almost certain it was all only for show, no match for the Tyrant Hammer's blow.
Just as the thought entered Ambrose's mind, the sight that greeted him left him speechless.
No one expected the red light from the Tyrant Hammer to strike violently onto the shield. A booming clang rang through the air, and smoke began to billow!
After a few seconds, the smoke receded slowly. The golden shield crumbled and disintegrated into the air. Yet Cayden remained standing tall, seemingly unharmed.
It was clear that the Heavenly Shield had utterly blocked the Tyrant Hammer's red light.
What?
How could that be?
Ambrose's heart pounded in shock.
He had used his strongest skill, yet it seemed to have absolutely no effect on Cayden. How could that have happened?
Ambrose did not know that the skill Cayden had used was acquired from the Godly Region. On top of that, Cayden had taken advantage of his position. He had usurped an abundance of powerful materials, making his internal energy almost unstoppable.
