Child of Destiny

…

Boom!

An overwhelming Demonic Qi came out from Uno’s body and fought the one that the ‘seed demon’ was releasing. And despite how powerful the latter was, Uno seemed to be able to contend with it on an equal footing.

Releasing this much Demonic Qi could easily consume anyone’s mind due to how wicked and berserk it was. A single misstep in handling this insane about of Demonic could instantly turn someone into a real demon. In fact, only a real demon could keep this much Qi under control given how overwhelming it was.

But no matter how the ‘seed demon’ looked at Uno, the latter seemed to be able to control such an overwhelming Demonic Qi skillfully. Anyone could even suspect him as a real demon for how skilled he was.

“What are you?” asked the inner demon with a heavy tone. He was a demon himself so he knew how hard to keep this amount of Qi under control.

On the other hand, Uno seemed to find this event purely normal. Even for someone like him, keeping such an overwhelming amount of Demonic Qi was going to be very hard. He was even putting himself and Shin at risk for daring to do such a thing.

This was originally the reason why he was not using all of the Demonic Qi that he had absorbed the first seed demon before.

Because of that, Uno spent a lot of time and effort learning how to control them perfectly. And this seed demon in front of him was the one who ‘taught’ him how to do that.

The inside one’s consciousness could be said endless as a hundred years inside it could only be a second in the outside world.

Uno took advantage of that to learn from the seed demon. He kept on fighting the seed demon inside this ‘world’ and retreated when he learned something new. And with this repeated process, he achieved something that only a few selected people could do.

It was either someone who was extremely talented and possess a lot of guts or someone who accepted the demonic powers and turned themselves into a real demon. And from the looked of it, Uno clearly to belong the former group. Though, he spent countless repetitions to achieve such an impossible feat.

On top of that, Uno also possessed another means to make everything perfect. He used the ‘White Dawn Boundary’, a special breathing technique that Professor Plum had created, to keep himself in a state of complete stillness and absolute tranquility.

Because of this, he was able to control a large amount of Demonic Qi that he was releasing. He was also able to protect his mind from being contaminated by it with the help of this particular breathing technique.

Seeing the current state that Uno had, the seed demon couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of crisis.

Swoosh!

And before he could even process everything inside his head, he saw Uno suddenly disappear and reappeared right in front of him.

Boom!

A powerful punch was thrown at the seed demon, creating a massive cloud of smoke in the area. The destructive power of this particular attack was much stronger than the previous attacks that Uno had ever done.

‘The power of Demonic Qi sure is different,’ thought Uno for a moment before continuing his barrage of attacks.

Bang! Bang!

Each of his punches and kicks was empowered by his Demonic Qi, so their destructiveness was really out of the world.

On the surface, Uno seemed to have the upper hand in this fight. But the truth was completely different from it.

After the initial shock that the seed demon had experienced earlier, he managed to immediately collect himself and quickly stabilized its footing.

Despite Uno proactively initiating the attack and controlling the rhythm of the fight, he was still feeling a little uncomfortable about something. It was as if something disastrous was about to arrive.

And he was not wrong about that.

Boom!

Uno was sent flying by a powerful attack that suddenly came out of nowhere. But aside from that, he seemed to be not much affected by it.

“How foolish! To think that you are going to use your Demonic Qi against a seed demon like me? You are underestimating me a little too much,” said the demon as he found his previous reaction earlier completely funny.

“Didn’t I already tell you that my accumulated Demonic Qi is much stronger and denser than that little fledgling that you have absorbed?” he added as his figure suddenly blurred for a moment, making Uno raise his arms and crossed them in front of him instinctively.

Bang!

Uno managed to block the powerful punch that was just thrown at him at that very moment. Then a series of attacks were thrown at him consecutively, throwing him in a passive position.

Unlike earlier where Uno was the one doing the proactive moves, in this very moment he was forced to continuously block the onslaught of his opponent and protect himself.

But despite that being the case, the look on his face seemed to be pretty calm. It was as if his being on the back foot of this fight was not a big deal.

Naturally, Uno was completely aware that the Demonic Qi that he currently possessed was not enough to take down the seed demon even if he was using the ‘White Dawn Boundary’ alongside it, especially with the experiences that he had in the previous battles.

And the truth behind his actions was about to be revealed right now.

Bang!

Yet another explosion occurred due to a powerful punch. But the one who was sent flying this time was the seed demon who was supposedly dictating the rhythm of the fight earlier.

The seed demon was caught off-guard by what just happened as he was not expecting it to happen.

Bang!

The mountain of bones and skulls under his feet suddenly collapsed the moment he landed on it. But he didn’t have the time to think about that as he immediately raised his head and locked his gaze on Uno who now had a completely different air around him.

The dark and wicked Demonic Qi that he originally had earlier was now replaced by a brilliant white Qi. It was the Sacred Qi that was nurtured by Shin’s diligent training all these years.

Demonic Qi was a powerful Qi that could rival the specialized Qi that was created by powerful Martial-Arts and other Qi that were influenced by special bloodlines. And this was practically the reason why the Demonic Cultivators were very hard to deal with.

But despite that being the case, Demonic Qi was not the strongest as there were quite a lot of Qi that could suppress them and one of them was the Sacred Qi created by Professor Plum’s Yin-Yang Martial Arts.

The Sacred Qi might not be the total bane of the Demonic Qi, but it could at least suppress the latter to a certain extent.

Unlike Demonic Qi which had a dark, cold, and gloomy nature, Sacred Qi possessed a brilliant, warm, and explosive nature a��� a complete opposite of the former.

On top of Sacred Qi, Uno’s breathing was also entirely different compared to what he had earlier. There was even visible steam of Qi coming out of his mouth every time he breathed out some air.

At this point in time, he was using the ‘Black Origin Threshold’ which was also the total opposite of the ‘White Dawn Boundary’. If the latter was a calming technique that could put the user into a state of complete stillness and extreme tranquility, then the former was a berserk technique that could make the user extremely violent and extra ferocious.

Given the nature of the ‘Sacred Qi’, the ‘Black Origin Threshold’ wholly complements it.

Swoosh!

With that, Uno immediately initiated the second round of the fight.

This time, each of his attacks was carrying a destructive power that could obliterate his opponent easily. And since Uno was now using the Sacred Qi, the seed demon started to lose his footing once again since his Demonic Qi was being countered by it.

But despite having the upper hand, Uno seemed to be unsatisfied with his current performance. He was wearing a deep frown while muttering to himself. “It is still not enough.”

He was saying that the current state of the battle was still not enough. He wanted to completely dominate the seed demon for him to become fully satisfied with his current performance.

On the other hand, the seed demon, who was currently on his back foot, couldn’t accept what was currently happening.

‘What is with this guy? His is completely different from before,’ he said, fully confused.

But that confusion only lasted for a brief moment since he was also fully aware of the reason why Uno become this strong. He couldn’t accept the truth and wanted to deny it. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

Uno had already fought him countless times previously, so it was even more confusing if he didn’t grow after all of those battles.

But despite all of the things that he had learned, it seemed like he was still not satisfied by it and still hungry for more!

Boom!

And that was when something happened that terrified the seed demon once again!
