Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?-Chapter 319 - 321: The Skill is Useful, But Does Not Differentiate Between Friend and Foe
Chapter 319: Chapter 321: The Skill is Useful, But Does Not Differentiate Between Friend and Foe
“Ji Shan, how is your study of the Three Changes Technique coming along? Are there any parts you don’t understand?”
The door to the secret room suddenly swung open, and Ji Sheng’s tone was kind, as if he truly were treating a junior.
However, in Ji Shan’s perception, the malice from the other party was nearly bursting forth, no longer concealed as it had been before, probably because the preparations were complete.
Perhaps Ji Sheng was too confident in himself, being a 6th-Order being, though his lifespan was shortened, his power was indeed formidable.
“A little, please enlighten me, clan leader,” said Ji Shan, his expression narrowing.
He didn’t actually have any questions; he would directly ask Qin Muye if there were any, why bother asking someone who harbored ill intentions toward him.
...
Still, he couldn’t be too obvious about it, so he casually picked a few questions to ask. Ji Sheng indeed had real skills and fluidly answered Ji Shan’s inquiries.
But as the questions continued, Ji Sheng realized something was amiss. The Time Swapping Technique should have been activated, but why was there no response so far.
At that moment, he felt uneasy. The first time he laid eyes on Ji Shan, he had used physiognomy and saw that this man’s fate was too noble to speak of, blessed by heaven. If he could transfer Ji Shan’s life pattern to himself, perhaps he could reach a higher realm before his life ended, thus prolonging it.
As for him being a Ji Family member, that was a small surprise. He had originally just bluffed, only to find through this bizarre coincidence that he was truly a family member.
Being a family member made things even better. With the heritage flowing in the same line, the resistance during the taking would be much lower.
But now… there was an unexpected complication.
Then, Ji Sheng sensed around, only to discover a void, and his expression could no longer hide a trace of surprise.
Because the mechanism he had set up for the Time Swapping had vanished, as if it had been hollowed out by something.
“What’s the matter, clan leader?” Ji Shan asked, pretending to be ignorant.
Ji Sheng’s expression turned grim: “Did you do this?”
He was no fool; anyone with eyes could guess that this must be connected to Ji Shan. Since the latter knew of his intentions, there was no need for pretense anymore.
Originally, he planned to take the other’s life pattern and then allow him to live a wealthy and eminent life. Now it seemed the other was unwilling, so he had no choice but to use force.
“What are you talking about, clan leader? I don’t understand,” Ji Shan said, his tone feigning confusion, not to say that his acting skills were lacking in any way.
This made Ji Sheng’s grim face flash a moment of doubt. Could it really not be Ji Shan?
But that was impossible. Within Yan Country, he was the strongest, and no outsider could take action under his watch.
As for the powerhouses from other countries, they wouldn’t leave their own territories to avoid complications or being exploited by others.
“Hmm, it’s nothing, you should also call me ‘uncle’ as per our seniority. I have a favor to ask,” Ji Sheng said, his expression relaxing.
Ji Sheng was certainly not one of those unflappable people in the face of crisis; he was just an ordinary person, his rise to power too swift for his Qi Cultivation Technique to keep up.
He was no old monster or ancestor. Although he was scheming, he still was inferior in some aspects.
“Oh? Please speak, clan leader,” Ji Shan said, knowing that his opponent was about to reveal his true intentions.
So he pondered whether to give his opponent a taste of the Dark Star or set someone to kill him.
Although he wasn’t connected to the Magic Network, his Primordial Spirit could link to the Magic Network, so communication wasn’t an issue.
The Magic Network is essentially a personal server for Spirit Monsters; he could load it without much problem, only needing some custom changes. It’s just that he wasn’t good at modifying these things as they were not Magic Divine Power.
“I was thinking of borrowing your life pattern for a moment, my nephew.”
Having said this, Ji Sheng suddenly launched an attack.
Ji Shan was already on guard, so he managed to fend off Ji Sheng’s attack, though with some difficulty.
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.
This was to be expected, as Ji Sheng was at the 6th Order, and Ji Shan’s true combat power was at the 4th Order. Level 5 could possibly match him halfway, but the 6th Order was simply out of his league, given that Ji Shan was assessed as 0th Order, Level 0 in the Lord Era.
Being able to withstand the attack meant Ji Shan was extraordinarily gifted—it’s not like everyone could suppress levels and increase their combat power to slay higher-level monsters like Qin Muye could.
“Clan leader, I might have to fight back now,” Ji Shan suddenly said.
Ji Sheng was about to sneer a couple of remarks back, as the other party was already struggling to defend, let alone fight back.
But before he could open his mouth, he suddenly noticed a change around him, then his expression shifted.
“You…”
“Dark Star!”
Four Basic Forces were gathered together, everything began to distort, forming a dark vortex the size of a bowl.
In just a moment of sucking, the black vortex turned into a black hole. Ji Shan reacted quickly, and naturally ran away tumbling and crawling, while Ji Sheng was caught off guard, his figure twisted by the black hole.
“Ji Shan!!!” Ji Sheng roared, a mighty surge of Spiritual Power began to pour out constantly to resist the black hole.
From a distance, Ji Shan, drenched in sweat, said with a lingering fear, “Damn, even this weakened, counterfeit version of Dark Star is so exaggerated; no wonder the original version could only be used by those at the 8th level. If I had run a bit slower, I would have already been done for inside it.”
The last time they used it against the Liu Family, it wasn’t the entire set of Dark Star, just a small part of it.
So theoretically, it was also his first time using it, so he didn’t have much assessment of its power.
It’s like someone saying when you encounter a tiger you should run immediately, while someone else thinks they can slide-tackle a tiger to death; this is a lack of understanding of the tiger’s strength.
That’s how Ji Shan understood Dark Star; he thought it was just a large bomb, but who knew it would expand into a black hole.
More importantly… he couldn’t turn it off!!!
‘Dad, I used Dark Star and now I can’t turn it off, do you have any good solutions?’
As a Child of Destiny whose own father was a villain, Ji Shan acted on the villains’ tradition of escalating things from the young to the old, to parents.
‘What the fuck did you do?’ Qin Muye’s voice also timely drifted over.
He was also a bit baffled by the black hole.
‘Cough, if I say I haven’t actually used this modified version of Dark Star before either, and I don’t know how to shut it down, any ideas?’ Qin Muye said somewhat helplessly.
This is obviously not nonsense, he had modified it, but it doesn’t mean he had used it.
About how Hercules shut down the black hole last time, it’s simple, of course, it was based on strength, could it be based on luck?
‘Ah this…’ Watching the increasingly expanding black hole, twinkling like a dark star, similar to an omen of death.
‘So if it keeps expanding, what will happen?’ Ji Shan asked dryly, he didn’t develop this device, how would he know that much, moreover this thing was originally similar to a cultivation system like Magnetic Field Rotation, that’s how Hercules used it, but the entry threshold was too high, leading them to only modify it slightly to use as a Skill.
‘Probably just keep expanding?’ Qin Muye said something obvious, leaving Ji Shan speechless.
Just pondering over it, the expanding Dark Star suddenly began to flicker uncertainly, as if something within was starting to shake its essence.
“Didn’t expect you to have mastered such a powerful Secret Technique, I underestimated you, Ji Shan.”
Dark Star exploded open, invisible ripples formed a voice echoing in the chamber.
“Since fate can’t be changed, then I’ll just have to seize a body instead.”
An invisible figure instantaneously entered Ji Shan’s body.
‘Well… there’s already someone in here…’ Qin Muye said somewhat helplessly.
Ji Sheng looked at the indecipherable Abyss standing in Ji Shan’s Primordial Spirit and horror was evident in his expression.
He had never thought that something like this could exist inside a person’s Soul, just before he could express it, by directly seeing and hearing the indescribable, his entire Soul twisted, his thoughts gradually eroded by Chaos.
In just a moment, a Soul, corrupted and eroded by Abyss, was born as a Soul of Chaos.
‘Dad, I think I found the Heaven’s Will you were looking for…’ Ji Shan suddenly said.
‘???’ Qin Muye, baffled, replied: ‘Where did you pick that up, I didn’t see it.’
‘Picked it up from Ji Sheng’s Soul, he delivered it right to our doorstep, and it was actually this thing that broke the Dark Star.’ Ji Shan said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Muye couldn’t help but gasp: ‘Sss, terrifying indeed, why don’t you think more about us becoming invincible worldwide, maybe it will come true.’
‘Dad, I’m a Child of Destiny, not a fulfiller of wishes.’
