Child of Destiny

…

While Shin and Uno were dealing with the Seed of Hatred inside, the main body finally lost its control.

It stopped hovering in the air right after awakening.

Swoosh!

Right after opening his eyes, an overwhelming pressure was suddenly released from his body, dominating the entire place. There was also a demonic aura constantly leaking from his body, making the surroundings tremble at his mere presence.

However, this person was neither Shin nor Uno. It was not even the Seed of Hatred that they were fighting inside the Sea of Consciousness.

What was controlling this body was the primal instincts that it had. The thought that was dominating his mind at the moment was destruction. He wanted nothing but to destroy everything around him.

It was caused by the repeated clashes between the Seed of Hatred and the pair of Shin and Uno.

While the two were fighting against the Seed of Hatred, the destructive and violent thoughts caused by their clashes were constantly leaking, which the main body picked up.

It then influenced the mind of the main body, turning it into a killing machine.

Roar!

With a deafening roar, the entire underground temple trembled violently, almost cracking the walls and ceilings and destroying the rune formations engraved in them.

Right after asserting his dominance, the main body started walking out of the Zen Room, ignoring all the Buddhist mantras ringing throughout the underground temple.

When he opened his eyes once again, a bright light suddenly illuminated the entire place.

Swoosh!

Right after the light receded, it could be seen that the eyes that the current main body had were a mixture of grey and purple colors.

The two colors swirled within his pupils, forming a Yin-Yang-like symbol while also emitting a pale pulsing light at the same time. This gentle light was a golden color, which seemed to be made of Divinity Grade Mental Energy.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Along with the intense flow of mental energy that his body was emitting, there was also a bead-like glow coming out of his forehead, along with a series of runes that formed a crown halo over his head.

Aside from this, an ancient and majestic robe was formed around his body, which was also made of Divinity Grade Mental Energy.

This royal robe was filled with mysterious runes that seemed to be a mixture of both the ancient mystic arts and modern mentalism techniques.

Boom!

His presence became even more powerful right after the royal robe was fully formed, making him emit a much stronger presence.

At the same time, a pair of wings sprouted from his back, which had two different colors.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The one on the right was an angelic wing in silver-white color, while having golden hues across its surface. The one on the left, on the other hand, resembled a demonic wing in pitch-black color, along with crimson shades flashing through it.

Roar!

With yet another deafening roar, he made the entire underground temple tremble for another time, almost destroying the cave system.

…

Rumble! Rumble!

At the same time, David, who was meditating in the depths of the ruined temple, slowly opened his eyes.

Shing!

A holy glint flashed through his eyes when he opened them.

The mandala patterns that his pupils had seemed to have become more complicated and mysterious, which indicated that his Enlightened Eyes had been upgraded and reached a much more advanced level.

Swoosh!

Seemingly able to see through the walls, David stared up front and saw ’Shin’ walk out of the Zen Room at the center of the underground temple.

Sigh!

With a helpless sigh, David seemed to be able to foresee what was going to happen next. “Tsk! Tsk! Am I a nanny or something? Why do I always have to deal with the most troublesome stuff?”

Looking at the current form of his junior brother, he could at least tell that they were currently in a special state, which was almost the same as Demonic Possession.

“Fortunately, it is not as bad as before,” he mumbled, recalling the times that Shin had undergone a Demonic Possession.

Those times almost destroyed his body, especially when both his Martial Arts and Mentalism were forcefully fusing with one another. Even his High Level Dual Internal Qi and Divinity Grade Mental Energy were ruining his body through forceful melding.

There was also the issue about the Heavenly Martial Body and the Spiritual Embryo, which were the perfect vessels for the two disciplines.

Adding all these factors together, the main vessel was unable to withstand the pressure and collapsed in the process.

That was how it used to be.

However, what David was currently seeing was something that was deemed impossible for the current understanding of this generation.

Fusing Martial Arts and Mentalism was only possible when two people were doing a Secret Skill or when letting their inner demons consume them in the process, which would lead to the natural fusing process.

The current situation of ’Shin’ seemed to be more likely the latter, but there was a strange thing mixed in between.

David was unable to fully put his finger into it, but he could tell that this must be similar to the mysterious state that Professor Herny was trying to achieve with his research projects.

He had heard that Professor Herny had initial insights on how to fully fuse the two disciplines together, somewhat returning to the origin of the current major disciplines, which was known to be the ancient cultivation methods.

Doctor Frankenstein of the Hextech Laboratory seemed to have achieved similar results through immoral experiments, but it was still far from being perfect.

David could not shake off the feeling that the current state of his junior brother seemed to be the ideal state that everyone was looking for.

After all, it was giving off the feeling that he was getting from his master and Adam when they showed him their famous combination technique and told him about the ideal states when combining Martial Arts and Mentalism.

The Jade Kirin Scripture was just one of the bridges that would connect the two disciplines.

What he was seeing right now seemed to be what his master was pursuing along with Adam at that time.

…

While David was somewhat lost in his thoughts, ’Shin’ seemed to have sensed his gaze.

This ’Shin’ raised his eyes and stared straight into David’s eyes, seemingly able to directly see what the latter was doing.

There was a dangerous glint coming from this person’s eyes that seemed to carry a heavy and terrifying pressure, particularly with those pupils that looked like a swirling pattern of a Yin-Yang Symbol.

It seemed to have the ability to pull one’s consciousness into a deep abyss that they were unable to escape from once they were caught in the process.

However, such a technique was not effective for David, who had just achieved a higher realm in terms of his ocular technique. His Enlightened Eyes were already strong enough to protect him from such situations.

“Tsk! I guess I still have to go all out with this one,” he mumbled after seeing the current attainment of his junior brother, especially when he saw that the latter was capable of using Martial Arts and Mentalism together.

’Limit Break: Seventh Phase’

Boom!

This was the current limit that he could afford to unlock. Any higher than this would put a huge burden on his body, which would most likely kill him in the process once he got careless.

Swoosh!

With thought, his body suddenly disappeared from the secret room, where the tombs of the Solomon Kingdom’s Ancestors were located.

Whoosh!

When he reappeared, he was already standing a dozen meters away from Demonified Shin.

Assuming a battle stance, he raised one of his hands and gave the opposing party an inviting gesture. “Come!”

Roar!

Seemingly accepting the invitation, his demonified junior brother suddenly opened their mouth wide, releasing a deafening roar that not only shook the entire place but also released a powerful psychic attack that assaulted David’s mind in an instant.

Boom!

Right at the same time, this Demonified Shin suddenly disappeared from where he was standing and instantly reappeared right before David swung his hand forward, which formed a terrifying claw in the process.

Swoosh!

Seeing this, David calmly raised his hand.

Bang!

Using the back of his hand to block the latter’s attack, David suddenly flicked his wrist and pushed the latter’s arm back with a sudden yet gentle force.

Swoosh!

Right at the same time, his other hand suddenly pushed forward, throwing a thrusting palm strike in the process.

However, such an obvious counter was too easy for the opposing side to read, blocking it with a similar forward strike.

Bang!

The two sides were pushed back right after their palms collided with one another.

“Ten minutes – that is the longest I can buy for the two of you!” he mumbled, seemingly trying to communicate with Shin and Uno, who were busy fighting with the Seed of Hatred deep in their Sea of Consciousness.

“Any longer than that will force me to beat you half-dead,” he added with a provoking tone.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Seemingly understanding what he was saying, the demonified junior brother suddenly made his move, engaging David with a series of intense exchanges.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was as if he were the one who had been provoked rather than the two guys, who were busy on their side.
