Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

By absorbing the blood of Nezuko and Tanjiro, Li Lei successfully overcame the sunlight. Through the dream demon Li Lei, who had just become the Lower Moon One, he obtained the Blood Demon Art that allowed him to control dreams and successfully learned the Breath of the Sun from Tanjiro's dream.

In Li Lei's alternate dimension, Tanjiro and Nezuko were locked in a room alone.

"Nezuko, are you alright? Does your body still hurt?"

Tanjiro checked on his sister Nezuko's health with concern.

"I'm fine, brother, don't be afraid!"

Nezuko stammered.

Having successfully overcome the sunlight, Nezuko's consciousness has returned somewhat to normal, and she can now speak. However, her mental size has shrunk considerably, and she still stutters a bit when she speaks.

"Hmm—! Brother, don't be afraid. Brother still has to protect Nezuko."

Hearing Nezuko's reassuring words, Tanjiro was moved to tears as he spoke.

……

Having calmed down considerably, Tanjiro looked around at the white walls. "But where exactly is this?"

Tanjiro looked around in bewilderment. The strange room had no doors or windows. How did he and Nezuko get in? Just as Tanjiro was wondering...

In the house where Li Lei lived on Mount Natian Spider, a red vortex-shaped spatial portal opened, and Li Lei walked out of it.

In the dimly lit room, Li Lei looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, his eyes revealing determination.

The sunlight, the demon race's lifelong fatal weakness, will soon cease to be their weakness. Decades of living in darkness are finally coming to an end.

After taking one last look at the sunlight outside the window, Li Lei returned to his alternate dimension and arrived at the room where Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko were imprisoned.

Tanjiro was extremely nervous upon seeing Li Lei suddenly appear; it was this seemingly human guy who had captured them.

"What exactly is your purpose? Why did you arrest my brother and me?"

Tanjiro, looking tense, asked the question that had been bothering him.

"In order to overcome the sunlight like your sister, do you know how I've spent all these years in the dark? The world has day and night, but as a ghost, I can only stay in the darkness without sunlight."

Li Lei calmly answered Tanjiro's question.

"Then why don't you find a way to overcome the sunlight yourself? Nezuko overcoming the sunlight was just a coincidence..."

"Shut up! What do you know?"

With the opportunity to overcome the sunlight right in front of him, Li Lei didn't want to say anything to Tanjiro.

Tanjiro was startled by Li Lei's rebuke and instantly forgot to argue.

Having lost all patience, Li Lei raised his hand, and immediately the wall sprouted several tentacles, binding Tanjiro and his sister.

Then, he activated the Blood Demon Art of the Other Dimension, and a red vortex appeared, teleporting the Shinazugawa brothers over.

"Sir, it's been a long time. Is there something you need from me and my brother?"

Upon seeing Li Lei, who was the younger brother of Shinazugawa Genya, he immediately asked a question, while the older brother Shinazugawa Sanemi remained silent.

“Xuanmi, the flesh and blood I nurtured in your and your brother’s bodies have grown to a considerable size, and I’m about to take them back.”

"Please do as you please, sir. I have no objection whatsoever."

Upon hearing Li Lei's words, Xuan Mi stepped forward to express his determination.

“Very good! Xuanmi, I was right about you. I will definitely make your mother, younger brother and sister turn back into humans.”

As Li Lei spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and the flesh and blood that had been analyzing and replicating the Devourer's physique for a long time within Xuan Mi's body immediately emerged from Xuan Mi's body and returned to his own.

Then, the demon blood in Shimi's body was also absorbed by Li Lei.

After recovering the flesh and blood, Li Lei's physique began to change in the direction of a demon eater.

Before long, Li Lei felt the various blood demon techniques he had collected over the years being absorbed by him.

"Yes! That's the feeling."

Feeling that he had successfully acquired the Blood Demon Art of a Demon Eater by devouring the flesh and blood of demons, Li Lei turned to look at Tanjiro and his sister.

Now I can start to overcome the sun, I'm not afraid of the sun ghost, I wonder what it tastes like?

Li Lei walked towards Nezuko, who was no longer afraid of sunlight as a demon. Soon, Li Lei was in front of Nezuko again, lifted her hair to reveal her white neck, and bit down.

Then Li Lei greedily absorbed Nezuko's blood. Just then, an accident occurred: the blood flowing from Nezuko's neck began to glow and instantly became scalding hot.

This made Li Lei feel as if he were drinking boiling water, and the blood flowing through his throat felt like it was burning.

But Li Lei merely frowned, showing no intention of backing down.

The demon blood, which had overcome the sunlight, entered the abdomen, and the body of the cloned demon eater quickly changed.

When Li Lei felt the blood in his mouth was no longer scalding hot, he released his grip, while Nezuko, having lost too much blood, fell into a deep sleep.

Li Lei then set his sights on Tanjiro and began absorbing Tanjiro's blood.

Tanjiro is even more terrifying than Nezuko after becoming a demon, so his blood must be extraordinary.

Li Lei thought to himself as he drank.
