The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 413-414: Entering the Red Moon; Possession

413: Entering the Red Moon

The kings words unsettled everyones hearts. To defeat the czar meant facing the possibility of losing their soul, spirit, and body. Or becoming like those spirits inside the city who had lost their sense of self and remained stuck in the desert forever.

Whether it was being taken over or turning into someone else, neither outcomes were desirable.

It doesnt matter. Whether or not he takes us over, we still have to fight if we want to get out of here. If we cant get out, then we may as well die clean. Unexpectedly, the seven weirdos were the first to think it through. They dressed weird and they talked weird, but they had the right idea.

If they didnt go, theyd be dead. If they stayed in the city, theyd be dead. Either way, the end result was the same, so may as well gamble with the fight and see if they could win.

They werent as sad after thinking it over.

Some time later, who knew how long, but the red light appeared again and the red moon loomed above the bones. And soon enough, the bones animated and formed individual skeletons.

The group exchanged glances before flying to the moon.

Inside the moon, a handsome young man was sitting quietly on a throne. The corner of his mouth raised in a sneer as he sensed something.

Have you come? After waiting for ten thousand years this kings opportunity is finally here. . .  The one speaking was none other than the man Ming Xi and the others hoped to eliminate, the king of the Kingdom of Sand, the czar.

Entering the moon was unexpectedly easy, but because it was so easy, the group became even more anxious. They were shocked to find a desert city that closely resembled the one below. In fact, the two cities could have been duplicates of each other: same streets, same palace, same buildings, same everything.

The czar had to be in the palace.

They knew their opponent was a powerhouse from ten thousand years ago, so they tightened the grips on their weapons as they firmed their resolve. They knew they would die if they lost the battle.

Ming Xi and the others got closer to the palace with every step they took. Upon reaching the gate, they didnt even have to open it, it opened for them.

Hahaha! This king has waited so long. Now finally someone is here and this king can see the sun again. . . 

He had been waiting for ten thousand years for this opportunity. If it werent for the sea god dragging his city into the tomb, he would have had a new body and been born again ages ago. As it was, he had to feed on the negative qi harvested from below in order to maintain his powers as well as keep himself sealed on the moon to keep his mind and soul from deteriorating.

The czars laughter greeted the group as they entered the main hall.

Feng Wu frowned as she looked at the thick miasma of negative qi around them. That was why she hadnt seen any below, it was all gathered in the moon.

Czar, prepare to die. Zi Cheng grasped her staff tightly as she stared at the czar, her face completely serious.

You want to kill this king? You weak things overestimate your own abilities. The czar sneered disdainfully at Zi Cheng and the others.

He was an ancient czar, half-human and half-demon. His strength was so great, it was on par with a real demon. Of course it was impossible for him to take Feng Wu and the others seriously. They were like babies compared to him.

All together now! Caesar yelled as he took the lead in raising his staff to attack.

Zi Cheng followed suit and thus did the battle start.

The king and his attendants had not followed Feng Wu inside the hall, but were watching the scene solemnly from outside. They had indecipherable expressions on their faces.

Your Royal Highness, are we really not going to help Xiao Wu? A general stood respectfully beside the king.

We have more important things to do. The king took a deep breath and his eyes darkened.

What do we have to do? The other spirits inquisitively looked to their omnipotent king for answers.

There is something we must find and destroy.

What?

The Art of Blood Sacrifice Reincarnation.

The Art of Blood Sacrifice Reincarnation?! Isnt that supposed to be on the czars body?

No, it is somewhere else.

Feng Wu was unaware of their conversation but she knew the kings intentions. The king was worried that if the technique was remembered and proliferated by those present, then the consequences would be unimaginable. In order to prevent the technique from returning to the world, the king wanted to find the technique and destroy it.

Feng Wu was the only one who knew his plan. Everyone else was solely focused on killing the czar and leaving the Kingdom of Sand.

The czar truly deserved his reputation as a powerhouse. Even everyone working together couldnt touch him. The contrast between their strength was disheartening. It was unimaginable how strong powerhouses of ten thousand years ago were compared to today.

Golden light flew from Ming Xis sword and attacked the czar.

The czar was unphased and didnt even leave his throne. He negated the attack with a single wave of his hand.

Boy, you are the strongest amongst your people. Your bloodline is not bad. This king will take your body. The czar looked at Ming Xi like he was admiring an unparalleled treasure. It was perfect and he wanted it.

The czar had chosen his potential candidates from the most talented out of the group: Ming Xi, Feng Wu, Zi Cheng, and Caesar.

Ming Xis appearance, talent and excellent bloodline made him shine the brightest. Feng Wus constitution was natural and flawless with an aura that was incredibly comfortable. The czar could see she had the innate talent to be a master of the laws of nature. This kind of talent was incredibly rare even in ancient times. So much so that if one was ever born, the person would be given their own country or be given the honorary title of holy maiden or holy son of their country. It went to show how special an existence a master of the natural world was.

414: Possession

Zi Cheng and Caesar were also both extremely talented, but what the czar liked about them wasnt so much their talent as their luck.

Both were children of luck in the current era, so there was an excessive amount of luck inside them. All children of luck were born with a mission: either to save the world or destroy it. It didnt matter which, the children of luck would always have the protection of the worlds great luck. No one could kill them until they completed their mission. To displace either of them would result in being cursed by the worlds consciousness.

A curse like that wasnt something the czar could bear. For this reason, they were removed from the czars list of potential candidates, which then left Ming Xi and Feng Wu. Feng Wus ability to be a master of the natural world was extremely enticing, but she was a girl, so he had to give up on her and choose Ming Xi.

Ming Xis luck was also fantastically high.

A red chain flew from the czar, and in the blink of an eye, Ming Xi was bound and his abilities sealed. The czars movement had been so fast, Ming Xi failed to defend against it.

Senior Ming Xi! Zi Cheng was shocked but immediately reacted. She sent a golden spell towards the chain, but unfortunately, it had no effect.

Feng Wu frowned in worry at the sight of Ming Xi being bound. She called out to Xiao Chun, who immediately flew out of her dantian and attacked the chain. The blood-colored chain did get thinner and the miasma of the negative qi was reduced by half.

LeChen and the others were stunned, having never expected the ever-quiet Feng Wu to be so powerful. The others all knew Zi Chengs strength, and even she was unable to move the chain in any way, so the fact that Feng Wu was able to do what Zi Cheng couldnt meant that Feng Wu was the stronger of the two.

As soon as Xiao Chun flew out, the czar panicked and wanted to retreat because it felt like a natural enemy had appeared, but the czar was the czar so he calmed down. His eyes glittered as he glanced at Xiao Chun, then he suddenly turned into a stream of light and rushed into Ming Xis forehead.

Ah!

The move shocked everyone. They knew it was the czar making a move to take Ming Xi over.

Now! Everyone, kill him! If the czar succeeds in taking over his body, we all die! One of the group members who joined last shouted.

The middle-aged uncle, who looked like a leading member of the group, looked uncertain. Should he take advantage of Ming Xi in order to kill the czar?

Lets do it!

Without waiting for the middle-aged uncle to decide, the other group members had already raised their weapons to attack Ming Xi.

Simultaneously, both Zi Cheng and Feng Wus group surrounded Ming Xi in a protective circle.

The attacks against Ming Xi were all blocked. Meanwhile, Ming Xis face was turning blue and white. It was clear he was engaged in a fierce battle internally.

Get out of the way! We can kill the czar if we kill him while hes trying to take over the guys body! Why are you all stopping us?! A young man yelled out.

Killing one guy to save everyone, it was a good thing! As long as the guy died, everyone would be saved. Why were they being stopped?

The people from the uncles group had the same idea. They stared at Feng Wu and those blocking the way in dissatisfaction. Clearly Feng Wus group was trying to drag everyone to their deaths, all for one person.

Since youre blocking us, dont blame us for being ruthless! The middle-aged uncle had made up his mind. He looked at Ming Xi like he couldnt bear to do it, but he quickly resolved his internal conflict and firmed his resolve. He wanted to get out alive, and no one was going to stop him.

How could this new group understand the despair of watching those beside you disappear one by one day by day. They just didnt understand.

No! Feng Wu pursed her lips and yelled out seriously.

Were not stepping aside. Dont think you can harm Senior Ming Xi! Zi Cheng righteously glared at the middle-aged uncle. She was steady as she spoke.

Whats going on with you guys?! Ming Xi will definitely survive! You shouldnt try to hurt him! Both Mayleen and Ailuna had firm expressions on their faces as they stood in front of Ming Xi protecting him. They had a good impression of Ming Xi, so of course they wouldnt want him to get hurt.

While the two groups were stuck in a stalemate, a battle raged in Ming Xis spiritual sea. The czars consciousness was so powerful, Ming Xi was unable to fight it and could only dodge and run away.

The czars consciousness had existed for ten thousand years and had been nurtured by endless amounts of negative qi nearly the entire time. The qi had expanded his spiritual consciousness to terrifying levels. Ming Xi was only twenty. How could he compete?

Boy, stop running away. Its useless. Just obediently become one with this king and you will become immortal with this king. That isnt so bad right? The czar whispered to Ming Xi in a cold, smug voice.

Ming Xi didnt turn around to look behind him. He just kept running, his face a pale ash color.

Its beyond your control! The czar smiled confidently as he suddenly appeared in front of Ming Xi after doubling his speed. Come now, become one with this king. I will be you and you will be me. Well have eternal life together. The czars voice was full of temptation.

Ming Xi had no where to run. He could only watch as the czar pounced. . .
