Chapter 205: Chapter 205

Red Boy was dumbfounded, completely taken aback.

The Ignorant Willow Tree was actually here with Sha Chen! Even Saints coveted this Innate Spirit Root but could never obtain it.

It was rumored that Buddhism had offered a hefty price: anyone who could find the Ignorant Willow Tree would be granted the position of an Ancient Buddha.

If one did not fancy the position of an Ancient Buddha, they had other options. They could choose a thousand years of guidance from the two Saints, Zhunti and Recitation, or an Innate Spiritual Treasure plus five hundred first-class Spiritual Medicines.

This showed just how much Buddhism valued the Ignorant Willow Tree.

It wasn’t only Buddhism that placed such importance on it; any power that planned to nurture disciples also yearned for it. Buddhism was simply the most overt in its desire.

Who would have thought that the Innate Spirit Root everyone in the world sought and coveted was right here with Sha Chen?

Red Boy was stunned and asked incredulously, "Foster Father, is that actually Innate Earth?!"

He had returned some time ago, but Sha Chen had kept the Innate Earth hidden, so Red Boy hadn’t noticed it. Only now did he realize there was a piece of Innate Earth next to the Post-Heaven Earth.

Lady Di Yong also discovered it and exclaimed in amazement, "Master, it’s said that even Saints might not possess a single *mu* of Innate Earth, yet you have at least a thousand acres here?!"

That’s far too vast, terrifyingly so!

Sha Chen chuckled. "I didn’t know either. It turns out that hidden within the Post-Heaven Earth was a piece of Innate Earth, which revealed itself a while ago."

Lady Di Yong and Red Boy were both shocked, their hearts filled with envy. To have obtained an Innate Spirit Root is one thing, but to also possess such an expanse of Innate Earth... Even the Saints across the heavens might not possess such resources, right?!

Red Boy exclaimed, "Foster Father, your luck is just too good!"

Sha Chen smiled. "Your luck is even better. You were lacking a willow leaf, and I happen to have one right here. It can solve the tribulation of your physical body."

Red Boy immediately knelt, cupping his fist. "Thank you so much, Foster Father!"

He was overwhelmed with joy. Indeed, his luck was good; the deficiency of his physical body had always been a trial plaguing his entire family. He hadn’t expected Sha Chen to have the willow leaf that could precisely solve his deficiency.

Red Boy stepped forward, intending to pluck a willow leaf, but was instantly swatted away by the willow tree.

He grew furious. "Damned Innate Spirit Root! You mere broken tree, you dare act so presumptuously?!"

Then, manifesting three heads and six arms, his Innate Fire Phase, and a fierce visage, he unleashed his fire techniques, preparing to attack.

Sha Chen, however, said, "Don’t be rash. I’m afraid you can’t beat it."

Red Boy didn’t believe him and charged forward to fight the Ignorant Willow Tree. After a short while, he was indeed beaten and sprawled on the ground.

Lady Di Yong had originally thought about stealing some when an opportunity arose. But seeing the willow tree’s prowess, she was so frightened she trembled and didn’t dare act recklessly. Her eyes darted about. It seems I’ll have to focus on pleasing Master more in the future if I want any rewards.

Red Boy, beaten and bruised, came before Sha Chen and knelt. "Foster Father, I can’t beat it. What should I do?"

Sha Chen said, "If this were the Ignorant Willow Tree at its peak, even I would be no match for it. Its current strength is roughly that of an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal."

Red Boy looked troubled. Is this another treasure one can only stumble upon, not actively seek?

Sha Chen stepped forward. With a wave of his hand, a leafy willow twig snapped off. He plucked a leaf from it and handed it to Red Boy.

This action left Red Boy utterly flabbergasted. The Ignorant Willow Tree didn’t resist Sha Chen?

Sha Chen smiled. "I fought it and beat it into submission. That’s why it’s obedient now."

Red Boy’s eyes shone. "Foster Father, you’re truly remarkable! With such strength, I’m afraid no one under the heavens can match you!"

Sha Chen rolled his eyes. This flattery is a bit too crude.

Red Boy held the willow leaf, looking troubled as he didn’t know how to refine it. He turned to Sha Chen again.

Sha Chen then said, "Forget it, give it to me. I’ll refine it into an Immortal Pill and completely resolve your physical defect."

Then, he began the alchemy.

After forty-nine days, a Heaven-Mending Deficiency Immortal Pill was successfully refined.

Sha Chen handed it to Red Boy. After consuming it, Red Boy could clearly feel the flaws in his physical body disappearing.

Lady Di Yong was astounded. "This is terrifying! It seems a tremendous power was hidden within him. He was subjected to a heavenly tribulation, and now that the tribulation’s effects are erased, that power is about to be unleashed!"

The power within Red Boy erupted, causing Lady Di Yong to become extremely frightened.

Seeing this, Sha Chen was also concerned, yet a faint smile touched his lips.

"Foster Father, the power inside me is too overwhelming! I can’t control it at all! I’m afraid I’m going to explode and die!" Red Boy shouted in terror, pleading, "Foster Father, save me!"

A powerful, immense force surged within him—fiery red, exuding an ominous aura, its demonic essence flaring to the heavens.

The Bull Demon King, who was recuperating from his injuries, suddenly opened his eyes. He furrowed his brows. This is bad. My son must be in danger. The heavenly tribulation’s seal within him has broken. If this isn’t handled properly, he might succumb to demonic possession.

The Bull Demon King clenched his teeth, ceased his cultivation, and immediately broke out of seclusion.

Princess Iron Fan saw this and hurried after him. "Husband, your injuries haven’t healed! Where are you going?"

The Bull Demon King said, "The seal suppressing the heavenly tribulation in our son has broken. I don’t know if it was forcefully broken by someone or if some fortuitous event occurred. I intend to go and see for myself."

Raksasi exclaimed, "How is that possible? Even Lord Laozi couldn’t resolve our son’s heavenly tribulation. How could the seal break?" Then, her expression filled with suspicion, she said, "Could it be you’re just thinking about that vixen and using this as an excuse to leave?" She snorted. "Even if you are consumed by lust, you should consider if your body can even handle it!"

The Bull Demon King grew furious. He waved his hand, pushing her aside. "Nonsense! Utter nonsense! Our son is truly in danger!"

He then left the Flaming Mountain, heading towards the Flowing Sand River. Along the way, some members of Buddhism saw him but didn’t dare to intervene. They hastily reported the matter to the Buddhist authorities.

Sha Chen hadn’t anticipated Red Boy’s situation would become so dire. He could tell that if he didn’t act soon, Red Boy might be devoured by that overwhelming force.

His eyes sharpened. In an instant, he rushed over, placed his hand on Red Boy’s shoulder, and unleashed a mighty devouring power.

The force within Red Boy’s body was instantly met by Sha Chen’s devouring power, and the two energies began to tug and tear at each other. Sha Chen’s immense devouring power couldn’t completely consume this force, but it managed to substantially alleviate Red Boy’s pain.

Lady Di Yong watched from the side, wide-eyed and speechless, unsure how to help.

Sha Chen then spoke, "Sweet, stand guard for me. I need to help the Boy Sage absorb this force."

"If anyone approaches from outside, ignore them. Pretend you can’t see or hear anything," he instructed. "Remember, if an unparalleled powerhouse tries to force their way in, take the Sky Shaking Bow and Sun Shooting Arrow. Aim at them, but do *not* shoot."

Then, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining that malevolent force. Imperial Gods’ Thunder coalesced in the sky, striking down incessantly. Imperial Gods’ Thunder, a divine power of the Saints, is the epitome of rigidity and yang energy, and has a natural suppressive effect on malevolent auras. This power within Red Boy was extremely malevolent; the thunder was perfectly suited to suppress it.

Watching the two cultivate, Lady Di Yong was initially frantic, but remembering Sha Chen’s command, her gaze firmed. She clenched her teeth, vowing internally, Master, rest assured. I won’t permit anyone to disturb you, no matter who they are! Then she fixed her gaze on Sha Chen and Red Boy, watching them intently as they cultivated.

Red Boy’s face twisted in pain. The force inside his body was too strong, causing his aura to escalate wildly. His eyes slowly turned a bloodshot red, as if he were truly facing an immense crisis. He was in the throes of an internal battle.

Suddenly, Red Boy’s expression became ferocious, and his voice changed. "Who are you?!" the new voice snarled. "How dare you suppress me? You think you can devour my power? Dream on!"

"Return it! Give my power back, you lowly, vile creature! Go to hell!"

The possessed Red Boy opened his mouth and spat out a torrent of Samadhi True Fire, immensely powerful and seemingly unrivaled.

Sha Chen snorted coldly. He also opened his mouth and, incredibly, swallowed the Samadhi True Fire whole. He even licked his lips. "I don’t care who you are. If you dare possess my foster son’s body, your only fate is to be refined."

The malevolent voice retorted, "Your son? Are you the Bull Demon King? No, your power is too weak. You can’t be the Bull Demon King."

Sha Chen replied, "I am not the Bull Demon King."

The malevolent voice pondered for a moment. "Ah, I see. That Raksasi is truly shameless, taking another man."

Sha Chen fell silent for a moment, then intensified his devouring power. This malevolent entity is truly bizarre, Sha Chen thought.

Seemingly flustered by Sha Chen’s devouring efforts, the entity possessing Red Boy began to struggle violently, creating constant turmoil within the boy.

Sha Chen immediately formed a hand seal and created an avatar. The avatar quickly utilized the Thirty-six Polymorphic Transformations and the Seventy-two Polymorphic Transformations to lay out an array. A massive Formation took shape. Having expended all its power, the avatar dissipated into nothingness.

Sha Chen bellowed, "Red Boy, guard your mind and maintain your true self! I’m about to release my hold slightly and will have to beat this thing out of you to suppress it completely! Do not let your spirit falter!"

Red Boy’s face was contorted and hideous from the struggle, but a flicker of his pained self surfaced. "Foster Father... I’m causing you trouble."

Without hesitation, Sha Chen released his direct suppression of Red Boy, maneuvering him to the center of the Formation, onto the thunder-guiding platform.

Sha Chen manifested his three heads and six arms, his Daluo Dharmakaya. Unleashing his full power, his cultivation aura surged explosively.

Lady Di Yong was petrified witnessing Sha Chen in this state. He was the most powerful individual she had ever encountered. Her heart filled with a mix of shock and elation. Master is so incredibly strong! I definitely haven’t followed the wrong person!

The aura emanating from Red Boy’s body also escalated, swiftly breaking through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, and it continued to climb. However, Sha Chen’s devouring power was also at play, causing his own cultivation and Mana to escalate simultaneously. He was now only half a step away from breaking through to the Middle Level of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm. However, his Daluo Dharmakaya, though only at the initial stage of mastery, was already equivalent to the Middle Level of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

With his power fully unleashed, he completely suppressed the entity-controlled Red Boy, beating him so thoroughly he had no ability to retaliate. The malevolent entity controlling Red Boy was also stunned. It roared continuously, retaliating with frenzied, non-stop attacks. But it was still no match. Red Boy’s physical body was too weak to serve as an adequate vessel, making it no match for Sha Chen, even though the entity’s power had pushed Red Boy into the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm. It was simply not Sha Chen’s opponent.

It was easily suppressed and thoroughly thrashed.

However, that malevolent entity was exceptionally wicked. It roared, "It seems you care a great deal for this brat! Go on, then, kill him!" It kept resisting, clashing relentlessly with Sha Chen.

The malevolent entity had thought Sha Chen would be concerned for Red Boy and would hold back, giving it an opportunity. It never expected Sha Chen to show absolutely no mercy, beating Red Boy to the point where he almost resembled a meat patty.

The malevolent entity was dumbfounded. Is this really his foster son?! It then shrieked desperately, "Bull Demon King, you bastard! Where the hell are you?! Hurry and stop this man who’s beating your child and sleeping with your wife!" Fınd the newest release on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
