"That's none of your business." Naimes had no intention of revisiting his painful past.

When he first crossed into this world, it was the classic wizard story beginning - possessing the identity of a minor noble's second son.

Just as he thought he would start from the knight's path before transitioning to meditation techniques to become a wizard, the church took notice of him, making him a member of the Oath God's church.

For a time, Naimes basked in success, obtaining the Breath of Holy Commandment during this period.

But the final outcome was Naimes falling into the Abyss, becoming a mutated demon.

These memories flashed through Naimes' mind before settling into silence.

He wouldn't wallow in nostalgia for the past.

He would seize every opportunity to reach the summit and embrace his future!

The effects of the Breath of Holy Commandment were remarkable - it allowed one to place themselves within a certain commandment through the breathing process.

Once mastered, one could sense the 'numbers' between heaven and earth.

In other words, it used breathing to perceive the laws of nature, letting practitioners first comprehend the vastness of creation to gain sufficient opportunities for self-improvement.

At higher levels, advancing to Steel Seed was guaranteed, with Gold Seed or even Legendary Seed not being impossible.

Rumors said practitioners would continuously receive 'revelations', eventually obtaining enough opportunities to perfect their numbers.

It was said practitioners would gradually develop precognitive abilities, understanding their own fate to form personal lifelong commandments.

By strictly following these commandments, one could avoid all disasters and ultimately achieve personal transcendence.

Based on Naimes' actual cultivation experience, these rumors weren't false.

Of course, it wasn't as perfect as imagined either. Check latest chapters at novel✶fire.net

But those pitfalls didn't need to be shared with Tangs.

"The practice of Breath of Holy Commandment will grant you a special evolution. The demonic aura within you will become nourishment for rapid physical growth."

"Afterwards, the demonic matter will become a unique 'commandment'. As long as you maintain it, outsiders will struggle to detect the demon within you."

Naimes then roughly explained the Breath of Holy Commandment's practice method, but Tangs only stared at him blankly.

Though Tangs understood each individual word, his comprehension of the technique remained stuck at "you need to breathe".

Naimes wasn't surprised.

Divine techniques weren't something just anyone could practice.

Tangs was a shepherd who had never attended school - he might not even write his own name correctly. Ask him about sheep habits and he'd lecture expertly.

But this advanced breathing technique requiring high cultural literacy left him completely lost.

"Fortunately, I never expected you to learn this on your own!" As Naimes spoke, his Oath Rope flashed, splitting off a strand.

This time, the rope looked less like rope and more like a snake with black scales - a mutation effect from his contract with the village guard.

The 'black snake' lashed out, its sharp tip piercing Tangs' chest before partially dissolving, fine threads invading his lungs.

Instantly, Tangs found himself unable to breathe normally.

His natural breathing rhythm, habits, even the method itself were all sealed away.

The Oath Rope became his breathing medium, this living thing controlling Tangs' respiration, forcing it toward Naimes' described Breath of Holy Commandment.

Within seconds, Tangs' state changed with his breathing.

"Without personal understanding, forcibly mimicking the breathing pattern through external assistance makes this the least efficient Breath of Holy Commandment possible," Naimes observed.

Though a breathing technique, this supreme method no longer relied solely on life aura.

Parts of it involved soul and spirit.

Most top-tier breathing techniques required making one's soul breathe too to reach higher states.

Only through this life-soul coordination could supernatural traits emerge.

Tangs lacked the mental capacity, and Naimes didn't need him reaching that level anyway.

Barely functional was enough - the main goal was helping Tangs quickly master demonic power while hiding his abnormalities from the church.

As for power...

"You understood, didn't you, Kullog?" Naimes inquired.

Though equally brainless, small demons benefited from the Abyss's demonic heritage system.

With each promotion, demons received sufficient information from the Abyss's will, including world-related truths.

Kullog's share was meager but still surpassed Tangs'. Having heard the complete method with Tangs as a forced demonstration, performing Breath of Holy Commandment wasn't overly difficult.

"After some experimentation, I can probably use portions of it," Kullog answered obediently.

Even a fool would realize now that Naimes was extraordinary whether before or after falling into the Abyss.

A small demon like him stood no chance - obeying might hasten his promotion to true demonhood.

"Later I'll teach you my developed Dual Commandment Synchronization," Naimes offered another secret technique.

This method positioned the demon internally and Tangs externally.

Simultaneously using different parts of Breath of Holy Commandment through coordination could achieve high-tier effects, unleashing unimaginable combat power.

After instructing his subordinates, Naimes returned to his residence to cultivate.

Daily sword practice maintained his supplemental rituals before breathing technique training.

But currently, all his inner radiance had dimmed - no breathing could activate it.

Seven Divine Nails piercing his body granted Oath blessings while limiting his future.

Each breath made the nails ache slightly.

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

Current training aimed to further explore faith power.

As Naimes breathed, deep in his soul, a structure completely alien to this world's systems also began breathing.
