Child of Destiny

Chapter 1990: The Demonified and the Son of Heaven (Part 1)

......

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

A series of explosions rocked the entire underground temple as Demonified Shin unleashed a barrage of explosive spheres formed by combining the three forces it controlled: the Divinity Grade Mental Energy, Golden Sacred Qi, and Primal Demonic Powers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each sphere was packed with a powerful and destructive force that was more than enough to collapse a huge mountain.

Fortunately, this place was currently being protected by a mysterious formation, which was steadily enduring those explosions.

However, due to these explosions, the formations that were protecting the place were slowly crumbling. The runes engraved on the walls and ceiling were slowly losing their luster from repeated impacts from the explosions.

If such a bombardment continued, the situation would most likely become even more troublesome, especially when he could tell that a huge storm was currently brewing outside.

After all, the remnants of the Black Serpent Mafia were still around alongside the members of the Hextech Laboratory, who were constantly creating trouble on the surface just to create an opening for their respective operations.

This time, the forces from the Magic Ace Academy and Flying Dragon Corporation had stepped out of the chaos, planning to watch from the sidelines.

After all, the local government of the Sun-Moon Continent and the World Government were already acting actively due to the involvement of their respective enemies, the Hextech Laboratory and the Voidwalker Tribes.

Naturally, these two government forces were very dissatisfied with the actions of the two organizations. After all, they were the ones who had poked the hornet’s nest and started stirring trouble in the first place, yet they wanted to disengage from it and became spectators watching from the sidelines.

However, the two government forces could not do anything either, especially when the two organizations had joined forces to protect one another.

Moreover, the forces of the Springfield and Green Families had become more active in their place. These two major military forces were more than enough to fill the shoes that the Magic Ace Academy and the Flying Dragon Corporation were supposed to have.

During the initial days of Shin’s disappearance, David was already aware of the tension between these forces, which could lead to another big conflict was a trigger was found.

The sudden appearance of this place would most likely become the spark that would start that conflict, which he needed to prevent at all costs.

Moreover, given the current state of his junior brother, those people involved would most likely demand something, which would most likely lead to another big conflict.

Shin’s current existence was very sensitive, so he needed to do his best to stop the worst-case scenario from happening.

Moreover, this underground temple was also the resting place of his ancestors, the Ancestors of the Solomon Kingdom. He could not afford to let these people learn about this secret place, or else he would be condemned by the surviving citizens of their fallen kingdom once they learned about it.

This was the reason why the pressure on David’s side for this battle was insanely high.

He not only needed to keep this Demonified Shin in check but also needed to keep on channeling his mental energy toward grand formation.

He needed to keep on supporting the grand formation, preventing it from collapsing completely.

Aside from the constantly executing high-level Mentalism Techniques, he had to divide a part of his energy to support the grand formation itself, making the consumption of his Mental Energy to become double or even triple what it was supposed to be during the battle.

...

Roar!

Right after dodging yet another troublesome barrage of bombardment, David suddenly found himself being cornered by Demonified Shin, who suddenly appeared right in front of him while throwing a destructive punch forward.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Surrounding this seemingly ordinary punch was the spiraling energies of Golden Sacred Qi and Primal Demonic Powers, along with the revolving Divinity Grade Mental Energy around it.

Rumble!

The surrounding atmosphere was also being affected by the swirling energies, which suddenly transformed into a massive mouth of a demonic beast that suddenly dove down and headed straight for David.

”Tsk! What’s even more troublesome about this is his ability to constantly improve and evolve throughout the battle.” David could not help but repeatedly click his tongue while preparing his move.

Roar!

Taking his stance, he pulled his arm back while concentrating all the Mental Energy he could muster toward it before throwing a spinning punch forward, which produced a similar spiral force as his opponent.

Boom!

On top of that, he had also applied his Divine Wrath Force in the process, further enhancing the power of his punch to match his opponent.

’Myriad Manifestation Method: Beast King – The Haymaker’

Roar!

With an image of a similarly horrifying beast behind him, David threw a destructive punch, meeting the incoming demonic beast from the opposing party.

BOOM!

This time, the explosion caused by the collision of powers was much stronger than David had expected, leading to his concentration slipping a little.

Fortunately, he was able to recover almost instantly, avoiding the collapse of the surrounding formation.

He was able to gather himself and collect his thoughts right before any accidents could happen.

Unfortunately, Demonified Shin had no intention of giving him enough time to recover and threw his next attack.

Swoosh!

Hovering in the air, Demonified Shin flapped his wings, gathering all three energies around him before combining them into a single force. He was trying to fuse the three types of powers to form a whole new power.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

This type of energy, which was the unification of Internal Qi and Mental Energy, was not a foreign term for David. After all, it was something that had been theoretically said to be possible by a lot of researchers throughout the world.

The Worldly Origin.

Fusing the Internal Qi of Martial Arts and Mental Energy of Mentalism and returning them to their original root, but with a much higher level than the original energy that the Natural Powers that the Cultivators used to wield during their era, generally termed as Origin Powers at their peak.

The modern Martial Arts and Mentalism were said to be the segregated version of the Ancient Cultivation Methods after the physical and the spiritual factors were separated from one another.

They represented the division of the two major aspects of the Ancient Cultivation, but had also progressed to a whole different level due to the series of improvements and long passage of time.

Fusing them together in the current era would surely produce an incredible result, especially when the current forms of the Internal Qi and Mental Energy, which transformed into Natural Force and Spiritual, were much stronger versions of the two.

When the two were combined, the resulting product would far surpass the Origin Powers of the Ancient Cultivators of the ancient era.

”Worldly Origin?” mumbled David, feeling a bit troubled after seeing the actions of his opponent.

”No, it is still from the perfect state said those experts in the field.” He later shook his head after seeing that there were still some imperfections from this version of Worldly Origin before him.

”Even Frankenstein and Jan Mateo are shy away from reaching the perfect power of the True Worldly Origin despite everything they have done.”

”Frankenstein failed due to missing a single piece from his research that can lead him to absolute perfection, while Jan Mateo is somewhat lacking when completing the balance between his Mental Energy and Martial Qi – his Martial Arts attainments are always a bit stronger than his Mentalism Techniques, which causes such an imbalance in power.”

Focusing his Enlightened Eyes on the gathering energy right before Demonified Shin, David was able to spot the problem on this side. ”As for his problem, it must be because of the lack of true connection between his Martial Arts and Mentalism.”

”Uno’s version of Yin-Yang Force is a bit too high compared to the original version, Natural Force that Professor Plum has created, while Shin’s Spiritual Force has yet to truly reach its full potential.”

”Regardless, this power is still diabolical,” he mumbled while preparing his own move.

Taking out a bunch of mentalism talismans, he threw and scattered them in the air right after infusing his Spiritual Force in them.

They then transformed into an array of swords, which quickly formed a massive slaughter formation that almost covered half of the entire underground temple.

All the materialized swords hovered in the air and revolved around him like a group of loyal knights.

They hovered for a couple of seconds before David suddenly formed a seal with his hands and constantly changed them while continuously channeling his Spiritual Force toward the formation.

Not long after, his final gesture was pointing his two fingers in the air, which all the swords followed before flying straight to their target.

’Myriad Manifestation Method: Mystic King – Sword Constellation Array’

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

All the swords flew in the air, linking with one another before turning into a storm of lightning that spread out and dominated the entire place.

Roar!

Right at the same time, the cluster of energy that Demonified Shin had gathered also exploded, sending a barrage of sharp energy fragments that looked like a bunch of feathers raining down from the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!
