Remaining Techniques

"Then come on, I hope you don't fall in love with your brother's murderer," Rowen said with a smile and flew up in the sky.

"Hmph... I will definitely kill you one day." Rowen could tell that she was serious from her threatening tone.

Looking back, he saw the girl packing the tents and he started moving towards the Ascendence pit.

Lulu suddenly looked up because of the whooshing noise and saw that Rowen was moving ahead without waiting for her. "Ahh..." She left all the things down and quickly flew trying to catch up with him.

"He is too fast..." Gritting her teeth she took out a longsword from her ring. It had a blue gem installed in its hilt. And stepping on top of the sword, she moved towards Rowen. Her speed has marginally increased with the help of Longsword.

Rowen felt her coming back and his brows raised. 'Just how many powerful treasures does this duo had?' He sighed and black wings formed on his back. He wanted to take this girl with him because that way he was feeling less guilt from his Dao.

However, he also wanted to get rid of her. So he decided to move very fast. 'She may get tired and stop following me. That way it will be her fault as I have already given her a chance and even if she follows me, once I get help from the darkness. I will make sure she regrets following me.'

"Girl, I am moving towards Ascendence pit, If you can't keep up with my speed then I suggest you stop following me." These were Rowen's last words before he flapped his black wings and disappeared completely from Lulu's eye.

Lulu took a deep breath in astonishment. 'I can't follow him even with my Mercury Long Sword. Narrowing her eyes she clenched her first. No! I can't let him go. I have to take revenge for my brother's death.' A tear dripped from her left ear and she took out the bluestone from the Long sword.

"Give me your powers!" She placed the stone in her mouth and after few seconds her whole body got covered with a blue aura. Even blue coloured wings formed on her back.

A smile sprinkled on her face. She never thought this stone would give her power. She knew that this stone was refined by her brother and the only reason she could use it because it was embedded in her long sword. She could never directly get powers by the stone itself.

'Is it because brother is no more that this stone has decided me as its master.' Even a more determined expression formed on her face. 'I have to kill that guy now. Even brother's treasure is helping me.'

Taking in a deep breath she leaned forward a little and suddenly disappeared from the place. Disintegrating a lot of greenery below her. Her speed was very fast, however, it was still not enough to catch up with Rowen.

'Pit of Ascendence huh? So I will meet you there.' Lulu could tell that there is no way she could catch up with Rowen even with the help of BlueStone. However, she was optimistic that she will meet him there before he could enter the pit.

...

Rowen, on the other hand, moved so far ahead of Lulu that he couldn't even sense her on his back. 'Hope that girl quits and not follow me.' He thought and increased his speed even more. He went for the maximum.

Since he could feel the effects of his Dao impairing his judgment, he wanted to get to the Darkness as soon as possible. He could tell that if he gets any late he may very well turn into a foolish saint like his mother and her family.

In the time of two months, Rowen killed many beasts with his Tomb of Red Death and also tested out his remaining two new techniques.

One of them was called, 'Gate of Hell,' this the first technique he has got from the Demonic Dao that he needs to practice more. Because with this technique, he could open the gates of his Hellish Dimension and from there he could call out different monsters and demons residing there.

'I may even be able to call out that eldrich guardian that Lilias was talking about. That would make things a lot easier.' Currently, he has found out that he can't only call out beings of the True Deity realm, even after two months of practice.

That shows how much he needs to refine the particular technique to be of any use to him. Because currently, true Deities were really of no use to him. A Martial Formation level cultivator can crush them like ants. And a hectic can kill them with just looks.

Moreover, Rowen was finding it more and more difficult to practice this technique as he advances in it. Like he has gone from zero to true Diety in just one and a half month, however, the next half month, he feels like he had made no progress.

He has also tried to enter the Gate but found out that only his summoned demons could do so.

His second technique is something that he was not sure if he will ever use. It's called 'Asura's Coffin.' From the description of the technique, Rowen has found out that with the help of this technique, he can sleep for long periods in a protective cocoon.

And that's it. This was the whole technique. He can't even cultivate in this cocoon. And if used once, the cocoon would only be removed after a thousand-year duration.

"What a weird technique. Why would the Demonic technique give something so weird to me?" He placed the techniques at the back of his mind and continued what he was doing.

In these past two months, he has never seen or sensed Lulu again, he assumed that either she was way too far behind or had most likely quit. Because there was no chance of her catching him, with her lousy speed.

He has also reached the borders of the Dragon Fang Sect, "Wow lots of people have come here." He saw a lot of carriages and Camps outside the Dragon Fang Sect's boundary, however, surprisingly he didn't sense even a single Heretic in the whole place.

"Looks like they have already gone in." He looked at the big walls and the blue spirit barrier that prevents anyone from going inside and narrowed his eyes. "Seems, I have to pay this sect to get a chance to reach the Ascendence pit."

He scanned the area with his third eye and found out that, Dragon Fang Sect was charging Treasures if one wants to enter the sect. A smile formed on Rowen's face and he was about to put a big hole in the spirit barrier and was about to kill his way in.

However, "Shit! My Dao!" His purified demonic dao was stopping him from killing anyone. In these past two months, he has found out that Demonic Dao only represented the demons, not evil or bad.

And it's on the free will of the demon that he could choose Darkness or the path of Light. As Rowen has already fallen in Love with Lilias, that was the reason why now his purity was either forcing him to cut all the good in him and lose his love for Lilias or follow the path of Light.

And he didn't really wanna cut ties with Lilias. As there was another way to be the greatest Demon, to get his hand on Dao of Darkness itself. That way he will be able to dissolve the purity of his Dao again. And would be able to find a balance.

All this is because of the extreme purity of his Dao and if he could resolve it without losing anything then that is the way he wanted to choose. That was the reason why his demonic dao got power from negative emotions, as it leaned more towards darkness.

He could still follow the darkness, however, for that he would have to become completely evil. His Dao could not tolerate a single speck of weakness, and that was the reason why it was punishing him with these pure emotions. Only by dissolving his Dao could he solve this situation.

Taking in a deep breath, he brought out his Blaze Flame Dagger. This was a Heretic Grade Treasure and should be enough for him to get a VIP entry in this sect.

Releasing his cultivation pressure, he started descending on the ground. Everyone around the huge metallic gate. Suddenly felt goosebumps rasing on their body from the chilly aura and looked up.

"A Heretic!" One of the women from the group yelled then quickly placed her hand on her mouth after realising that she was too loud. None of them spoke and even cleared the way for Rowen.

Everyone knew, how easy it was to lose their life after offering a high-level cultivator. No one will even bring justice for them. That was the law of this world.

Suddenly another wave of pressure came to the front gate, this was not like Rowen's it was more gentle and soothing. Unlike the piercing pressure of Rowen's aura.

"It's the sect leader..." Many of the people whispered and saw a white-clothed old man suddenly appearing in front of the Metallic Gate. He had purple hairs and his eyes were covered with a black cloth.

There was a gentle smile on his clean shaved face, and he was standing there in a welcoming posture.

"Welcome, guest. How can this old man help you?"
