Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 170 Thank you, Mr. Dao
Lin Yu's expression shifted between light and dark, and for a moment he was somewhat unable to figure out the meaning of the chat group.

If it's really because they couldn't find any suitable group members, then what's the point of making this trip?
Lin Yu was exasperated. After thinking for a moment, he decided to chase after them first.

But even as he pursues it, he certainly won't give up on this world that has already been discovered.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu immediately turned around and looked at the family of three who were about to step into hell, and said:

"You three, yes, I'm talking to you, wait a minute!"

"..."

A voice emanating from the depths of their souls came through, startling all three of them. They couldn't help but turn around and stare at Lin Yu with bewildered expressions.

"Can he see us?"

The exhausted mother shrank her neck, hiding behind her husband and son in shock and fear.

The father comforted his wife, then stepped in front of Lei and looked at Lin Yu in a deep voice, saying, "We have already decided to go to hell to atone for our sins. Is there any need for you to be so ruthless?"

"Who wants to exterminate them all?"

Lin Yu replied irritably, then looked at Lei and said, "When I killed you just now, I took your demon blood essence and incorporated it into this Nichirin Blade."

"According to my design, the person who wields this knife can use your abilities through your blood..."

He asked in a weary voice, "So?"

Lin Yu said frankly, "After all, this is your Blood Demon Art. It is indeed a bit difficult for humans to control. So I want you to sign a contract with this Nichirin Blade so that when necessary, you can return from hell to assist Tanjiro in fighting the enemy."

Why did you suddenly bring me up?
Tanjiro was taken aback by what he heard, and looked at Lin Yu with some confusion, saying, "Mr. Sword, who are you talking to?"

"The soul of that evil spirit."

Lin Yu gave a casual, dismissive reply and continued staring at Lei, saying, "There shouldn't be any hesitation about this, right? Muzan has hurt you so badly, don't you want to deal with him?"

"Besides, hell is no good place. Isn't it a good thing to have a chance to leave temporarily?"

The parents' eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but look at their son.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree!"

Lin Yu smiled, then immediately joined his fingers like a sword and engraved seven runes on the blade. Then, in the name of the Nichirin Blade, he signed a contract with Rui's soul that resembled a divine summoning technique.

After doing all this, he waved his hand and sent the three of them to hell.

Tanjiro and Inosuke stared at him blankly, completely clueless about what he was doing.

After a moment's thought, Tanjiro prepared to ask.

But before he could speak, Lin Yu interrupted him: "There's no time to explain. I'm leaving here soon. Before that, I'll leave all my power in the blade."

"You want to save your sister, right? Then listen to me and take this Nichirin Blade."

"When you use this sword to kill Muzan in the future, I will reappear and turn Nezuko back into a human..."

As he spoke, he gripped the Nichirin Blade, and his entire body radiated a white-hot aura.

A terrifying amount of Qi surged continuously from his palm, pouring into the blade engraved with seven runes.

In just a few seconds, seven runes emitted a silvery light, turning the originally black blade into a dazzling silver-white.

The silver light was so dazzling that Tanjiro had to close his eyes.

As the light gradually faded, he finally opened his eyes and stared in astonishment at the black-haired boy lying motionless on the ground in front of him.

"Mr. Dao?"

"Mr. Dao?!"

Tanjiro quickly squatted down and shook the boy in front of him.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu had already left, leaving only an enhanced corpse in the spot.

Just then, the Demon Slayer Corps reinforcements, led by the Water Pillar and the Insect Pillar, arrived late. Looking at the giant crater with a diameter of over 100 meters, they couldn't help but show shock.

"What's going on here?"

Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka came to Tanjiro's side, his brows furrowed as he stared at the terrifying scene before him.

Tanjiro looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and then told him everything that had happened.

"...That's just the way it is."

Tanjiro stood up, looked at the lifeless boy, and sighed, "It seems that Mr. Swordsman has already left. I wonder where he went. I haven't even had a chance to thank him yet!"

He paused, then looked nervously at the Demon Slayer Corps members behind him and asked, "Wait, where's Zenitsu?"

"He's been poisoned and is already on his way back."

Giyu Tomioka casually replied, then his gaze shifted to the silver Nichirin Blade on the ground, and he said in a deep voice, "So, all of this was done by this blade?"

"Yes."

Tanjiro nodded repeatedly.

Giyu Tomioka frowned and said, "Such a thing is true?"

He hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and carefully grasped the hilt of the knife.

The moment he gripped the hilt of the knife, a burst of silver light suddenly erupted, as if thousands of sharp silver needles had pierced his palm.

Giyu Tomioka frowned, instantly released his right hand, and stared at the pupil-shaped pattern on the hilt of the sword with surprise and uncertainty.

He raised his hand and found that his palm was bright red. Although there was no wound, he felt an intense stinging pain that was hard for most people to bear.

"……How is this going?"

The beautiful Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho stood beside him, her delicate brows furrowed as she gazed at his palm.

Giyu Tomioka pondered for a moment, then said softly, "This Nichirin Blade is very resistant to me. If I'm not mistaken, only Tanjiro can lift it."

So mysterious?

Shinobu Kocho was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but squat down, carefully extending her finger.

"Ouch!" A sharp pain shot through her, and Shinobu Kocho quickly withdrew her finger, exclaiming in surprise, "It really is!"

After saying that, she turned to Tanjiro and said with interest, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"..."

Tanjiro hesitated before stepping forward, carefully reaching out to pick up the silver Nichirin Blade.

In an instant, a dazzling silver light burst forth from the blade.

Unlike the Water Pillar and Insect Pillar, this time, the silver light did not sting his palm. Instead, it brought out warm currents that continuously nourished and strengthened Tanjiro's body.

At the same time, a series of messages entered his mind, telling him about the knife's abilities.

Tanjiro stood there, stunned, processing the sudden influx of information into his mind.

When Giyu Tomioka saw his appearance, he thought something was wrong, so he decisively drew his sword and tried to knock the Nichirin Blade away.

The result was obvious: the silver light emanating from the sword blocked Giyu Tomioka's attack, preventing him from making any contact with Tanjiro.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Giyu Tomioka had no choice but to give up and wait with some worry.

Soon after, Tanjiro finally digested all the information, and an indescribable joy appeared on his youthful face.

Among the many pieces of information obtained, the most prominent was the ability to absorb the essence of demon blood and thus gain the power of Blood Demon Arts.

However, not just any ghost can catch the eye of this sword; it must be at least at the level of one of the Twelve Demon Moons to be accepted.

If you find Blood Demon Arts too difficult to use, you can also make a pact with a demon to summon a soul from hell to assist in battle.

In addition, this silver Nichirin Blade has many powerful functions such as strengthening the body, providing golden light protection, attracting heavenly lightning, absorbing flames, and opening spiritual vision.

However, not all of these functions are activated at once; they are unlocked gradually based on Tanjiro's physical strength.

When all the secrets are unlocked in the future, he will receive all the legacies Lin Yu left behind in the knife.

At that time, let alone one Muzan, even if he split into ten, they would only be brutally defeated by him!
Thinking of this, Tanjiro couldn't help but show his gratitude and sincerely said, "Thank you, Mr. Sword!"

"..."

Upon hearing his words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What exactly is going on?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Dao is teaching me how to use this knife!"

Tanjiro responded with a smile, while simultaneously swinging his long sword, from which a golden whip extended and lashed towards the ground.

"Snapped!"

With a single strike, the golden whip shattered the edge of the crystallized pit wall, leaving a mark seven or eight meters long.

Giyu Tomioka's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"

Tanjiro shook his head and honestly said, "I don't know either. I just thought about this ability and it just came out naturally."

It truly is a divine artifact!
The group exchanged glances, their faces filled with astonishment.

Only Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Pillar, showed no reaction. At that moment, she was squatting next to the strong corpse, her slender white fingers gently stroking the corpse's skin, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

Finally, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at Tanjiro, asking:
"Is this the human that Mr. Dao possessed just now?"

Tanjiro paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Shinobu Kocho stood up and scanned the crowd with piercing eyes.

Does anyone recognize him?

"..."

Giyu Tomioka frowned and said, "What do you want to do?!"

"Of course, we should study this corpse!"

Shinobu Kocho turned to the side, revealing the corpse, and said with a strange light in her eyes, "Do you know what this is?"

"This is a human body that is more powerful than a demon, no, more powerful than the Twelve Demon Moons!"

Giyu Tomioka's pupils contracted: "A human body?"

“That’s right!” Shinobu Kocho said, her eyes gleaming. “Do you know what this means?”

"This means that as long as the right method is found, humans can also become this powerful!"

Giyu Tomioka frowned and said, "We've found it."

Shinobu Kocho shook her head and said, "No, breathing techniques are only powerful in terms of skill. In terms of the body, they can only stimulate our potential and allow us to train our bodies more effectively."

"But this kind of training will eventually have its limits. Even for a Pillar with exceptional talent, the limit is only slightly higher!"

As she spoke, she looked at the powerful corpse and said with a slightly excited tone, "He is different. His strength is especially pure. He is the strength that surpasses that of evil spirits simply by relying on his body!"

"This is absolutely a completely different, and far more perfect, path from breathing techniques!"

Upon hearing her words, everyone exchanged glances, and had to admit that what she said made sense.

Unfortunately, her expectations were destined to be dashed.

Because the weather in this world is extremely severe, it is not suitable for the path of Qi cultivation.

Just because Lin Yu can do it doesn't mean they can.

Otherwise, Lin Yu would definitely have destroyed this body before leaving.

After all, this world is in the early 20th century. Apart from some characters who are set up to be good people, Lin Yu has no good feelings towards the entire island nation.

He left the Nichirin Blade behind only to enhance the protagonist's strength, lest the protagonist suddenly die and cause him to lose his bearings in this world.

There's no need to worry about whether Tanjiro will become too strong as a result.

Lin Yu can bestow power, and he can also take it back. If Tanjiro and the Demon Slayer Corps obediently hunt demons, that's fine. But if they want to interfere in the war that will come soon, they'll have to ask this sword if it will allow it!
