Chapter 3 Blood Demon Art: Parasite
His internal energy seems to be somewhat different from that of the internal energy in the martial arts world; at least its attributes and functions are different.
Is this due to his different physical constitution, or is it a result of different world rules?
With his eyes slightly closed, Li Ke sat cross-legged and began to cultivate his internal energy.
The results showed that the act of cultivating internal energy actually exacerbated the body's hunger, making people increasingly hungry.
With no other option, Li Ke had to temporarily put aside his efforts to refine his internal energy and instead began to contemplate his own path.
Wuxia writer Li Ke has found his lifelong pursuit: the path of martial arts. He wants to see what the ultimate martial arts path looks like.
He didn't want to fall behind anyone, even if that person was himself!
What is the goal that you want to strive for throughout your life?
Or rather, what is your obsession?
After pondering for a long time, Li Ke, the Demon Slayer, finally had an answer.
Immortal and indestructible, living forever!
Compared to Li Ke, who has lived in the world of martial arts for more than ten years and has seen and experienced a lot, this is different.
The Demon Slayer Rogue who just transmigrated is the most 'pure' Rogue, having just transmigrated not long ago.
The image of being struck by a powerful force before the transmigration still lingered in his mind: his lower body being shattered by the force of the great fortune, his hand reaching out of the window, trying to speak but unable to utter a sound, and the despair of helplessly awaiting death.
He never wanted to experience or encounter that feeling of helplessness while waiting for death, or the despair of feeling life slip away before dying.
So he wanted to live, to live forever, to live without dying or being destroyed!
As Li Keming realized what his obsession was, the ghost blood within him suddenly began to stir.
In an instant, Li Ke had a sudden realization, knowing that he had awakened his own Blood Demon Art.
Blood Demon Art: Parasite!
He can condense a parasitic granulation tissue and insert it into someone else's brain to parasitize them.
It grows by feeding on the life force and spiritual energy of others, eventually filling every part of the host's body like nerve cells.
Li Ke can forcibly suppress the host's consciousness whenever needed.
Relying on the telepathic connection between themselves and the flesh buds, they remotely control the host's body.
To turn those hosts into Li Ke's alternative puppets without them even realizing it—a puppet that is not afraid of sunlight and can be remotely controlled!
After all, granulation tissue is extremely afraid of sunlight and is even more restrained by it, meaning it dies as soon as it is exposed to light.
However, sunlight cannot penetrate the flesh and damage the granulation tissue hidden inside the body.
Upon sensing the Blood Demon Art: Parasite ability information, a hint of astonishment flashed in Li Ke's eyes.
"Why does this ability look so much like Dio's flesh buds?"
Aside from the inability to influence the host's brain in real time and turn them into his puppet, it is almost identical to Dio's flesh buds in every other aspect.
It can also hide inside the body to avoid sun damage.
The difference is that one can turn the host into its own puppet, while the other can turn the host into a puppet that can be remotely controlled.
The newly awakened Blood Demon Art: Parasite is indeed very powerful, but it still cannot make him live forever.
After all, Blood Demon Art: Parasite relies on his own body for existence.
If the main body is killed, the flesh buds on the host's body will also explode and die simultaneously.
Just as when Muzan died, the other demons also died.
Moreover, while the Blood Demon Art: Parasite is very powerful, it is not without its costs.
Each time he uses the Blood Demon Art: Parasite, he actually consumes the demon blood and Muzan's blood within his body.
The ghost blood in his body was already thin; if it were further distributed, it would become even thinner.
The final outcome is either that the body collapses completely, or that the person becomes human again.
Neither of these two endings is what Li Ke wanted to see.
The only solution to change this situation is to increase the concentration of demon blood in the body.
To increase the concentration of demon blood, one must either flatter Muzan like the demons in the original story and beg him to give more blood.
Alternatively, one could kill other ghosts, absorb all their ghost blood, and increase the concentration of ghost blood in one's own body!
This is something that Muzan absolutely will not allow!
Thinking of this, Li Ke knew that he and Muzan were destined to become mortal enemies.
However, the sound of people talking outside the window made Li Ke pause and pay attention.
"That Kaigaku guy actually wants to become the Sound Pillar, but he can't even master the First Form."
"That's right, that guy always looks down on everyone and acts like he's superior."
If we let him become the Sound Pillar, our future will be very difficult.
"Keep your voice down, he might be nearby, it wouldn't be good if he heard you."
Upon hearing the name Kaiyue, Li Ke recalled it.
This is a person who is extremely selfish and arrogant, but who happens to be very lucky. Not only is he very talented, but he also encounters benefactors one after another.
What's truly impressive is that this guy is practically the epitome of an ingrate.
He took the help from benefactors for granted, and even felt that they should give him more.
He felt no remorse when others were injured or died because of him; instead, he mocked and ridiculed them.
It perfectly demonstrates what it means to be an ingrate.
Recalling the events surrounding Kaigaku, a thoughtful glint flashed in Li Ke's eyes.
To live forever, to live without dying or being destroyed, one must overcome the many weaknesses of demons.
The weaknesses of sunlight, the weaknesses of wisteria, and the weaknesses of the human-transforming potion.
In addition to overcoming these weaknesses, one must also possess unparalleled strength to avoid being killed by powerful enemies.
Otherwise, even if one possesses an immortal lifespan, if one is killed by the enemy, the long lifespan is meaningless.
To increase one's strength, besides obtaining the Mark and the Transparent World, one can learn different styles of breathing techniques.
Kaigaku is the perfect candidate to obtain the Thunder Breathing Technique, simply because Kaigaku is extremely afraid of death.
In the original work, Kaigaku betrayed his comrades and his personal dignity in order to survive, showing no bottom line, making him the perfect target to obtain the Thunder Breathing Technique.
More importantly, he needs a test subject, a test subject to experiment on the effects of his Blood Demon Art: Parasite.
With that thought in mind, Li Ke had already made up his mind.
Everything is just waiting for nightfall.
……
On the other side, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was fast asleep with his wife on the tatami mat, was suddenly awakened and sat up.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's wife, Amane Ubuyashiki, was awakened by the commotion and sat up as well, rubbing her eyes.
It turned out that Kagaya Ubuyashiki's hands were trembling slightly, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"prophecy?"
Ubuyashiki Amane's expression turned serious.
Since Muzan became the Demon King, the Ubuyashiki clan has not only been cursed by their bloodline, but has also gained a mysterious prophetic ability.
Thanks to this amazing prophetic ability, the Ubuyashiki family and the Demon Slayer Corps have been on the verge of extinction many times over the past thousand years.
But in the end, they managed to survive, their lineage was not broken, and they were not completely destroyed by Muzan.
Judging from her husband's expression, it was clear that he had once again foreseen some terrible disaster through his dream.
