"Red Boy, what's going on with you?" Bull Demon asked with a frown.
Red Boy, who was enveloped in blue light, curled his lips into a wry smile. He slowly lifted the front of his shirt.
Only then did everyone see that a black bead was embedded in his flesh above his abdomen. It was about the size of a longan fruit and there was a faint black aura swirling around it. Black veins that resembled blood vessels split out from the bead and penetrated deep into his flesh.
"What's that?" Bull Demon's expression changed as he asked.
"Demonic Soaking Bead. It's a trick of those fiendish demons. It contains Chi You's demonic aura. It will gradually infect my body until the day I completely become a fiend," Red Boy said.
"Is that why you joined the Demons?" Shen Luo asked.
"Do you think I'm willing to wallow in the mire with them? Do you think I didn't listen to Bodhisattva's teachings for so many years? When Mount Putuo was destroyed, I fought a bloody battle, but … "Red Boy sighed and said slowly.
"Silly child, why didn't you come to me? I would have thought of a way to save you," Bull Demon said.
"It's too late. This Demonic Soaking Bead has already fused with my flesh and blood. It can't be removed." As he spoke, Red Boy completely took off his shirt and turned around to show his back to everyone.
"What …" Bull Demon's eyes widened in anger.
On Red Boy's back, black veins that resembled the branches of an ancient tree extended across his entire back. The situation was much more serious than it looked.
"In addition, there's a restriction on this Demonic Soaking Bead. Once I leave Mount Diamond Head for more than seven days, this restriction will activate and explode the Demonic Soaking Bead along with my dantian. When that happens, the True Samadhi Fire in my body will go out of control and overflow. The entire Mount Jilei will be engulfed by the flames," Red Boy continued with a gloomy expression.
It was only at this moment that everyone finally understood that the Red Boy in front of them was no longer the devil incarnate of the past.
Shen Luo walked forward, his eyes slightly focused as he carefully stared at the Devil Soaking Pearl on Red Boy's chest. Sure enough, he saw a string of extremely tiny talisman characters on it, but they were completely different from common talisman markings and seal characters, so he couldn't recognize them at all.
The Thousand-year Fox King also stepped forward and looked at him for a long time. His expression became very serious.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "These aren't ordinary Restriction Runes. They're written in Devil Runes. Ordinary Restriction Runes are probably useless against them."
When Bull Demon heard this, he lowered his head and stood where he was. He muttered to himself for a long time before he raised his head and asked,
"Child, are you willing to fall into Demons?"
When he heard Bull Demon's question, Shen Luo's heart immediately tensed up. The Thousand-year Fox King's expression also changed abruptly.
Both of them were worried that Bull Demon would fall into Demons because of Red Boy and join the Demons' camp.
"Father, how could I be willing to join the Demons? I was just forced to do so. The only reason I'm still alive is because I'm still a little unwilling. "Red Boy said with a wry smile.
"Since that's the case, I have a way. Perhaps it can't save your life, but at least it can save your Divine Soul." Bull Demon said.
"Father, are you serious?" Red Boy immediately asked.
Bull Demon didn't say anything. He nodded heavily.
"If there's really such a way, I'm not afraid of my physical body being destroyed. I don't want to suffer like this every day." Red Boy immediately shouted.
Bull Demon heard this and nodded. He raised his hand and a golden light flashed in front of him. A golden book floated in front of him.
"The Heavenly Book …"
Shen Luo's gaze fell on the golden book. He felt the aura emitted from it and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
The fifth fragment of the Heavenly Book was in Bull Demon's hands. Could it be that he was also a person chosen by the Heavenly Dao?
"What is this thing? The aura it emits is so powerful?" Thousand-year Fox King exclaimed.
"The Heavenly Book … Father, why is the Heavenly Book in your hands?" Red Boy saw this and was also surprised.
"The Heavenly Book that contains most of the Divine Souls of Celestial Immortals?" Thousand-year Fox King was shocked.
"Don't be surprised. This is just a fragment of the Heavenly Book. As long as I keep your Divine Soul in the Heavenly Book, even if you die, you can use the Heavenly Book to revive your Divine Soul. "Bull Demon said.
"The Heavenly Book only contains remnant souls. Senior Bull Demon, could it be that you want to keep all of Red Boy's Divine Soul in the Heavenly Book?" Shen Luo guessed his intention and said.
"Yes. In this way, his Divine Soul can be preserved completely. "Bull Demon nodded and said.
"This is a way." Thousand-year Fox King was delighted and said, clapping his hands.
Just when everyone thought that they had found a way out, Red Boy poured cold water on them.
"Father, this method … is useless."
Everyone heard this and was stunned.
"How is it useless?" Bull Demon frowned and said.
"Could it be … you have left a remnant soul mark in the Heavenly Book?" Shen Luo immediately thought of a possibility.
"That's right. When I converted to Guanyin Bodhisattva, I left a remnant soul mark in the Heavenly Book. Now, it can't be kept a second time." Red Boy nodded and said.
When Bull Demon heard this, the flame of hope that rose in his eyes was immediately extinguished. His face was ashen.
Although Red Boy had left a remnant soul mark, it was only a remnant soul. Even if he could find the remnant of the Heavenly Book that recorded his son's remnant soul, he could only summon a remnant soul with an incomplete consciousness.
If that was the case, he would rather not have it.
"Whoever started the trouble should end it. Who planted the restriction on you? I'll go find him. "Bull Demon's eyes were red as he said.
"It's useless to find him. I only have seven days. I can't wait for your return. Moreover, this Demon-Soaking Pearl contains Chi You's demonic aura. The person who planted the restriction may not be able to remove it. "Red Boy sighed.
"If that's the case, you … should return to Mount Number One." When Bull Demon heard this, a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes. He waved his hand and was about to withdraw the Sea Calming Pearl and let Red Boy leave.
"Senior, please wait." At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and pressed down on Bull Demon's arm.
"You want to stop me?" Bull Demon turned to look at Shen Luo with an unusually cold gaze.
"I have an idea that might work. I wonder if you're willing to listen?" Shen Luo said with a calm expression.
"Are you serious?" Bull Demon heard this and asked doubtfully.
"Of course. However, the chances of success are only fifty-fifty. You'll have to decide how to deal with it." Shen Luo nodded.
When he heard this, Bull Demon frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Father, I'm willing to take the risk." At this moment, Red Boy's voice suddenly rang out.
"There's only a fifty-fifty chance of success …" Bull Demon said hesitantly.
"If I don't try, even if I can survive, I'll be completely corrupted by the demonic aura in a year's time and become a Demon. I'm afraid that I'll be controlled by others and turn back to Mount Jilei. Do you really want to see that happen? "Red Boy persuaded.
"What idea do you have? Let's hear it." Bull Demon looked at Shen Luo and asked with difficulty.
