Dual Law Coordination

"There's no need for you to know that." Naimus had no desire to bring up his unbearable past.

When he had transmigrated into this world, he had received the classic Wizard-type opening—a minor noble's second son.

Just as he had thought he would start down the path of a knight before turning to a Meditation Technique and becoming a Wizard, he had been noticed by The Church and become a member of the Church of Precepts.

Naimus had enjoyed a period of great success because of that, and it was during that time that he obtained the Breath of Holy Law.

However, in the end, Naimus fell into the Abyss and became a Variant Demon.

The past flickered through Naimus's mind before sinking back into silence.

He would not mourn over what had happened.

He would only seize every opportunity, climb to the peak, and then welcome his future!

The Breath of Holy Law had a highly remarkable effect: while breathing, it could simultaneously place one's body within a certain Law.

Once that was achieved, one could sense the "numbers" between heaven and earth.

In other words, one sensed the laws of heaven and earth through breathing, first coming to understand the vastness of the world and thereby gaining enough opportunities to raise one's own number.

Once cultivated to profound depths, not only could one advance to the Steel Breed, but even the Golden Breed or Legendary Breed was possible.

It was said that practitioners would continuously receive "Revelations," eventually gaining sufficient opportunities and attaining their own number.

Rumor had it that practitioners would gradually gain the ability to foresee the future, learn their own destiny, and thus form the Precept that would govern their lives.

As long as they strictly followed that Precept, they could avoid all disasters and ultimately welcome the sublimation of their destiny.

And according to Naimus's own practical experience with cultivation, all those claims and rumors were not false.

Of course, the truth was not as wonderful as it sounded.

There was no need for Downs to know about those pitfalls.

"Cultivating the Breath of Holy Law will allow your entire body to undergo a special evolution. The demonic aura within you will be used as nourishment, allowing your body to grow rapidly."

"After that, the matter of being a Demon will become a unique 'Precept.' As long as you can uphold it, outsiders will find it difficult to detect the Demon within your body."

Naimus then roughly explained the cultivation method of the Breath of Holy Law, but Downs merely stared at him blankly.

He understood every word Naimus said, yet all he understood about the Breath of Holy Law was that it involved breathing.

Naimus was not surprised by this.

Not just anyone could pick up a divine manual and learn it.

Downs was a shepherd who had never attended school a single day. Even now, he might not be able to write his own name correctly. Ask him about sheep habits and behavior, and he could talk your ear off.

But when it came to a Breathing Technique that required an extremely high level of education to understand, he could only be completely lost.

"Fortunately, I never expected you to learn it through your own abilities!" As Naimus spoke, the Rope of Oath around him flashed, and a strand split away.

But this time, the strand looked less and less like a rope. Instead, it resembled a snake covered in black scales.

This came from the "Alienation" trait brought by the Village Guardian Contract.

The "black snake" sprang forward, its sharp tip piercing Downs's chest. Then the rope loosened and separated slightly, and countless fine strands burrowed into Downs's lungs.

The next moment, Downs found himself unable to breathe.

His original breathing rhythm, habits, and even methods were all sealed at that moment.

The Rope of Oath became the medium of his breathing. This living thing controlled Downs's breath, guiding him toward the Breath of Holy Law Naimus had described.

A few seconds later, as his breathing changed, Downs's condition changed as well.

"Without understanding its meaning, relying solely on another's assistance to forcibly imitate the breathing rhythm... this is probably the least efficient Breath of Holy Law possible." After observing for a moment, Naimus sighed.

Though the Breath of Holy Law was a Breathing Technique, this supreme technique no longer relied only on Aura of Life.

Part of it involved the soul and spirit.

Most top-tier Breathing Techniques required one's soul to begin breathing as well before entering the high-level stage.

Only when life and soul coordinated with one another could they acquire all kinds of extraordinary traits.

Downs simply did not have the brains for that, and Naimus did not need him to reach that level.

Good enough was enough. The main purpose was for Downs to use this Breathing Technique to quickly master the Demon's power, then conceal his abnormalities so he would not be discovered by people from The Church.

As for power...

"You understood it, didn't you, Kurog?" Naimus asked.

Lesser Demons were not particularly intelligent either, but the advantage was that the Abyss had something called demonic inheritance.

Whenever a Demon advanced, it could obtain sufficient information from the Will of the Abyss.

That information often included truths related to the world.

Though a Lesser Demon obtained little, it was still more than Downs had received. Having listened to the complete cultivation method and with Downs as an example of someone being forcibly made to breathe, Kurog should have no great difficulty actively using the Breath of Holy Law.

"After feeling it out for a while, I can probably use part of it." Kurog was extremely obedient at the moment.

No matter how stupid he was, he should have realized by now that Naimus was no ordinary figure, whether before his fall or after descending into the Abyss.

A Lesser Demon like him could not outplay Naimus. If he obediently listened now, perhaps he could use this chance to become a true Demon sooner.

"Then later, I'll pass on the Dual Law Coordination I developed." Naimus then presented another secret technique.

The purpose of this technique was to make the Demon the inner side and Downs the outer side.

The two would use different portions of the Breath of Holy Law at the same time, coordinating with each other to achieve the advanced effects of the Breath of Holy Law.

This would allow them to unleash combat power beyond imagination.

After teaching his subordinates, Naimus returned to his residence.

He began his own cultivation.

His daily Swordsmanship practice maintained the existence of his Secondary Law, after which he began practicing his Breathing Technique.

But his current situation was what it was. All the aura within Naimus's body had dimmed, and no matter how he breathed, he could not stir it.

Seven Holy Nails were firmly driven into his body. While helping Naimus obtain the Gift of Precepts, they also restricted his future.

With every breath Naimus took, the Holy Nails throughout his body ached faintly.

With two extraordinary traits, his combat power was already sufficient.

His cultivation now was only to further explore the Power of Faith.

As Nigel breathed, deep within his soul, a cluster of soul structure completely different from the native kind began to breathe as well.
