Child of Destiny

Chapter 1992: The Demonified and the Son of Heaven (Part 3)

......

David wore a very solemn expression as he looked at the current form of Demonified Shin, who seemed to be in its strongest form. He was especially wary of the symbol in one of the latter’s eyes.

The Mark of Clairvoyance – it was a special ability that his master, Evangeline Rose, had created to increase the efficiency of her pinnacle talent and minimize all the burden that she would suffer after using it.

The Clairvoyance was one of the top pinnacle talents around the world, which possessed quite a lot of special abilities, such as the ability to foresee the future and increase the efficiency when wielding any kind of energy to the highest level.

There were other abilities as well, such as Divination and such, but the previous two abilities were the widely known abilities under this pinnacle talent.

Shin, who had the potential to wield his father’s unique talent, the Godly Intuition, was already powerful enough to with it alone. After all, the Godly Intuition was ranked as the number one talent for a reason.

However, the Clairvoyance was right behind Godly Intuition in the power rankings, especially when it covered quite a lot of areas, which was not limited only to combat.

One of the major reasons why the Godly Intuition was ranked at the peak of the pinnacle talents was because of the person who was wielding it. Adam was too powerful to make a thorough comparison with other people.

There were very few people who could match his talents and battle prowess.

Only Evangeline Rose was the one who managed to match him in every area, who happened to be another legend on her own right.

Moreover, before the appearance of Adam, the Clairvoyance Talent was known to be the number one talent throughout the world. It was firmly ranked right above the Pinnacle Omniscience and Ultra Instincts for various reasons.

However, when it was discovered that the two pinnacle talents could be fused together and transformed into a whole new talent, opinions started to shift and acknowledge this newly formed talent as the new number one pinnacle talent.

Adding that the sole wielder of this talent was a monstrous individual on his own, it was publicly recognized as the apex of all the known pinnacle talents.

Another reason why it was ranked as the number one talent was because of the lack of restrictions when using it, unlike Clairvoyance, which had serious drawbacks when using some of its most powerful abilities.

But this did not mean that Clairvoyance was inferior to Godly Intuition. The latter just happened to have fewer restrictions, which was why it was ranked a bit higher than the former.

This was the reason why Evangeline had reorganized her overall abilities, such as reconstructing her constitution and transforming her bloodline, creating something unique to herself.

She had also created the Mark of Clairvoyance to specifically lessen the restrictions of fully utilizing the abilities of her Clairvoyance talent.

Another reason she was recognized as the greatest genius of her generation.

Shin might not have inherited the Clairvoyance talent from his mother, but the bloodline that she had created was powerful enough to cover these gaps.

The Mark of Clairvoyance also possessed most of the abilities of the Clairvoyance Talent itself, albeit slightly falling on the inferior side.

Regardless, with the Mark of Clairvoyance and the Godly Intuition, Demonified Shin’s battle prowess reached a whole different level.

”He also possessed a Worldly Origin made from three highly advanced energy powers on top of that,” complained David before adding. ”Fortunately, the Heavenly Martial Body and Spiritual Embryo are still far from fully fusing, or else this is going to be even more dangerous than it has already been.”

While he was mumbling to himself, his hands were busy forming a series of seals to reorganize his mentalism formation and summoning the spirit monks once again.

This time established a direct link with the spirit monks. He was not planning to use the Eighteen Arhat Array as a battle formation, but as a Link Strengthening Array.

Moreover, there were more spirit monks this time, reaching a total number of one hundred and eight spirit monks.

They all stood behind David while channeling their energies toward the grand formation, assisting it and lending their powers to strengthen his overall combat abilities.

Boom!

Along with his Divine Avatar Form, Enlightened Eyes, and Limit Break, David reached a level that almost rivaled the masters of the Domain Realm in terms of physical might and Venerable Realm Mentalists when it came to mental energy control and the quality of his Spiritual Force.

”This is going to hurt, so I hope those two will hurry up to prevent any unnecessary injuries,” he mumbled while staring at Demonified Shin.

”I manage to extend the time that I can withstand supporting the grand formation protecting this place, but I am not sure how long it will last given the current abilities of this guy,” he added while looking at the opposing side.

At the same time, he took out the sacred treasure of the Solomon Kingdom, the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella.

”Come!” he said while gesturing toward his opponent.

Roar!

In response to his provocation, Demonified Shin suddenly disappeared from the air and instantly appeared before him while brandishing his death scythe.

Shing!

The blade of the scythe enlarged during the swing while the three swirling energies around it formed a mighty storm.

Seeing that, David swiftly adjusted his stance and quickly took a step forward. Along with his actions, he suddenly thrust the umbrella in his hand, targeting the tip of the scythe and preventing it from advancing further.

Boom!

The storm of energy covering his sacred artifact crackled and transformed into flashes of golden lightning that danced in the air like serpents.

Boom!

Right after the tips of their weapons collided with one another, a strong shockwave suddenly erupted around them, making the ground sink and creating a deep crater with dozens of meters.

Boom!

The storm of energy also raged around them, repeatedly clashing against each other and constantly producing a series of explosions in the process.

David did not dare to linger in this spot any longer because he could feel a sudden sense of dread coming from the latter.

Shing!

Right after he retreated, the surrounding space in his previous spot collapsed all of a sudden.

Boom!

Spatial rifts dominated the area, creating a spatial storm that swallowed everything in the surroundings.

He could tell that he would have most likely been shredded into pieces once he got caught by that spatial storm. He would have most likely been wiped out in existence if he had moved a bit slower.

Shing! Shing! Shing!

Unfortunately, he was far from being safe yet because a series of sharp flashes suddenly surrounded him right after he reappeared in the distance.

These flashes carried the scent of death, seemingly trying to catch David and drag him to the underworld.

Click!

With a series of quick movements, David opened his umbrella and channeled his Spiritual Force into it.

Zong~! Long~! Long!

The runes on the surface of the umbrella’s canopy shone brightly.

Swoosh!

Not long after, a spherical barrier was suddenly formed, protecting him from the incoming barrage of sharp flashes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unfortunately, the barrier instantly collapsed right after the initial barrage of attacks. He was suddenly left exposed to the next barrage of attacks that swiftly came after the initial strikes.

Fortunately, David was fast enough to respond this time, throwing a bunch of mentalism talismans in the air. The talismans scattered in the air before linking with one another and forming a much sturdier barrier than the previous one.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The next batch of sharp flashes was successfully blocked by the barrier, but it was immediately followed by a powerful strike that split the barrier in half in an instant.

Shing!

David swiftly retreated, hopping and backpedaling as fast as he could to distance himself from that location as far as possible.

Whoosh!

But before he could even reach further, he was blocked by another barrage of space-tearing slashes, forcing him to halt his tracks.

Fortunately, he was fully ready this time. He swiftly closed the canopy of the umbrella in an instant before assuming a sword-drawing stance.

Immediately, he suddenly pulled the umbrella out, seemingly unsheathing a sword, before swinging it multiple times around him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His sword slashes repeatedly collided against the sharp flashes of his opponent and only stopped when the umbrella finally found the scythe of his opponent.

Boom!

”Tsk! That ability to foresee a few moments in the future is very annoying, especially when paired with sharp senses and instantaneous reflexes of Godly Intuition,” he mumbled while retreating. ”I guess I have to at least disrupt one of them before continuing.”

Having that in mind, David took out a couple of talismans with different sequences of mentalism runes inscribed on them.

This time, David did not throw these talismans in the air nor scatter them in the area around him. Instead, he stuck them on different parts of his body, which later formed a transparent layer of mental energy that covered his entire body.

’Myriad Manifestation Method: Forbidden Talisman – Divine Intervention’

”With this, he would not be able to foresee much about my future moments,” he mumbled before continuing to exchange intense blows against the opposing side.

David did not hold anything back, even risking some of the Forbidden Techniques that he barely mastered just to match the overwhelming barrage of attacks from Demonified Shin.

He was even overexerting himself and overusing the Enlightened Eyes during the process. His eyes were already turning bloodshot and somewhat bleeding just by trying to counter the special abilities of the Mark of Clairvoyance.

”If those two don’t hurry, then I will most likely get killed by this guy sooner or later,” he complained while warding off yet another barrage of highly advanced techniques from his opponent.

Defeating a demonified Mighty Chosen One was hard, but trying to keep the latter alive was much harder, especially when the opposing party possessed both absurd regeneration abilities and powerful healing techniques.
