Chapter 771: Chapter 767: Perhaps Worth a Try (Happy Spring Festival, Daoist friends ^^) Chapter 771: Chapter 767: Perhaps Worth a Try (Happy Spring Festival, Daoist friends ^^) “Red Boy, what on earth is going on?” the Bull Demon King asked with a frown.

Wreathed in blue light, Red Boy gave a bitter smile. Slowly, he pulled open the front of his shirt.

Only then did everyone see, on the upper part of his abdomen, a black sphere about the size of a longan embedded in his flesh. A faint black Qi swirled around it, with black lines looking like blood vessels branching out and sinking deep into his flesh and blood.

“What is this?” the Bull Demon King asked abruptly, his face changing dramatically.

“It's the Devil-Infusing Bead, a technique used by demons. The demonic Qi of Chiyou contained within it will gradually infect my body until the day I fully turn into a demon,” Red Boy said.

“Is this why you joined the Demon Clan?” Shen Luo asked.

“Otherwise, do you think I am willing to stoop to their level? Have I not listened to Bodhisattva's teachings over so many years? During the fall of Mount Putuo, I also fought to the death, but alas… ” Red Boy sighed and said slowly.

“You foolish boy, why didn't you seek help from your Father King? I would surely have found a way to save you,” the Bull Demon King said.

“It's too late. This Devil-Infusing Bead has already fused with my flesh and cannot be removed.” As he spoke, Red Boy stripped off his upper garment and turned his back to everyone.

“What…” the Bull Demon King's eyes popped open in rage.

On Red Boy's back, a network of black lines, like ancient tree branches, sprawled across his entire back. The situation appeared far worse than from the front.

“Moreover, there's a prohibition on the Devil-Infusing Bead. Once I leave Drill Mountain for more than seven days, this prohibition will activate. The bead will explode along with my Dantian. At that time, the Samadhi True Fire within me will leak out uncontrollably and engulf the entire Jilei Mountain,” Red Boy continued with a melancholy expression.

Only at this moment did everyone truly understand that the Red Boy in front of them was indeed no longer the Chaotic World Demon King from back then.

Shen Luo stepped forward, his eyes narrowed as he closely examined the Devil-Infusing Bead on Red Boy's chest. As expected, he saw a series of extremely tiny talisman letters. However, they were unlike any common talisman or inscriptional characters he knew, and he didn't recognize them at all.

The Ten Thousand Years Fox King also stepped forward and stared for a while, his expression growing serious.

“This is not a common prohibition rune. It's written in demon script. I'm afraid the usual methods of prohibition removal would be useless,” he said after a moment of contemplation, shaking his head.

After hearing this, the Bull Demon King fell silent for a while. Finally, he raised his head and asked:

“Boy, are you resigned to falling into the Demon Clan?”

As soon as the Bull Demon King raised this question, Shen Luo instantly became tense and the Ten Thousand Years Fox King's expression abruptly changed.

Both of them were worried, afraid that the Bull Demon King would join the Demon Clan because of Red Boy's descent into the demons.

“Father King, how could I willingly join the Demon Clan? I was merely forced to do so. I've barely survived until now because I couldn't let go of some resentments,” Red Boy said with a bitter smile.

“In that case, your Father King knows a method. It may not save your life, but it can at least preserve your Divine soul,” the Bull Demon King said.

“Father King, are you serious?” Red Boy immediately asked.

The Bull Demon King did not speak, but nodded heavily.

“If there really is such a method, I would not be afraid of my body being destroyed, nor would I want to endure this torment day by day,” Red Boy instantly shouted.

Hearing this, the Bull Demon King nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a golden light flashed in front of him and a golden book floated before him.

“The Heavenly Book…”

Shen Luo's gaze fell on the golden book, and sensing the aura emanating from it, his heart jolted.

This fifth fragment of the Heavenly Scroll was actually in the hands of the Bull Demon King – could it be that he too was a chosen one of the Heavenly Dao?

“What is this object, the aura it emanates is so powerful?” Ten Thousand Years Fox King exclaimed.

“Heavenly Book… Father King, how is the Heavenly Book in your hands?” Red Boy was also surprised upon seeing this.

“A Heavenly Book that contains a large part of heavenly immortals' divine souls?” Ten Thousand Years Fox King said in shock.

“Don't be surprised, this is just a fragment of the Heavenly Book. Once I have collected your divine soul into this Heavenly Book, even if you die, you can resurrect your soul with this Heavenly Book,” said Bull Demon King.

“The Heavenly Book only contains residual souls, could it be that Bull Demon King, Elder, intends to incorporate all of Red Boy's soul into it?” Shen Luo guessed his intentions and said.

“Exactly, this way his divine soul can be completely preserved.” Bull Demon King agreed.

“This indeed is a solution,” Ten Thousand Years Fox King said joyfully.

Just when everyone thought they had found a solution, Red Boy poured a bucket of cold water on it:

“Father King, this method… is useless.”

Everyone was stunned at his words.

“How can it be useless?” the Bull Demon King frowned.

“Could it be… you have left a soul imprint in the Heavenly Book?” Shen Luo immediately thought of a possibility.

“Correct, back when I entered the tutelage of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I had already left a soul imprint in the Heavenly Book, so now I cannot be incorporated into it again.” Red Boy affirmed.

Upon hearing this, the spark of hope in the Bull Demon King's eyes was extinguished, leaving his face ashen.

Although Red Boy had already left a soul imprint, it was only a fragment of his soul. Even if he could find the Heavenly Scroll Fragment holding the record of his son's residual soul, what could be summoned was only an incomplete residual soul.

If so, he would rather not.

“The one who set the ban must lift it. Which one of you set this prohibition? I will find him.” The Bull Demon King's eyes turned red as he said this.

“Finding him will be of no use, Father. I only have seven days left and I cannot wait for your return. Moreover, the Devil-Infusing Bead is filled with Chiyou's demonic Qi, and the one who set the prohibition might not be able to lift it.” Red Boy sighed.

“In that case, you… go back to Drill Mountain.” Upon hearing this, a look of despair appeared in the Bull Demon King's eyes. He raised his hand to remove the SeCalming Pearl, preparing to let Red Boy leave.

“Wait, Elder.” Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side, stopping the Bull Demon King's arm.

“You dare to stop me?” The Bull Demon King turned to look at Shen Luo, his eyes icy cold.

“I have a method which may work; I wonder if you're willing to hear it out?” Shen Luo said, maintaining his usual calm.

“Are you serious?” The Bull Demon King looked doubtful.

“Of course, it's true. However, the likelihood of success is only about fifty percent. How you choose to act is still up to you,” Shen Luo replied, nodding.

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King frowned, falling into deep thought.

“Father King, I am willing to take the risk.” Red Boy suddenly interjected.

“The possibility of success is only fifty percent…” Bull Demon King hesitated.

“If we don't try, even if I can cling to life, within a year's time, I will be thoroughly infiltrated by the demonic Qi, falling into the Demon Clan. When that time comes, I might be controlled by others, used against Jilei Mountain- would you truly want to witness such a scene?” Red Boy reasoned.

“What is your method? Let's hear it,” The Bull Demon King glanced at Shen Luo, speaking with difficulty.
