Tomb of Red Death

After both of them Left, Rowen again moved towards the Ascendence pit. "From the map, its next location is some Dragon Fang Sect. I hope they have a warm welcome for me." There was a smile on his face and after few seconds his speed increased to maximum. Even Devil Wings formed on his back, boosting his speed even more.

The clouds in front of him moved away just by the air pressure around him. Anyone that looked from below could see a straight line between the thick clouds from which blue sky was visible. It was a breathtaking scene for many.

Some people even joined their hands and started praying as if a God had descended. After Rowen reached outside of the territory that Felicia and Ampone had terrorised he increased his altitude. He didn't want to attract any unwanted attention. He was sure if any Heretic Noticed him from below he or she will try to follow him in hopes of some treasures. And currently, he only wants to reach the Pit as soon as he could.

After two days of travelling the infinite layer of clouds finally dispersed and a clean blue sky with lush green lands appeared in front of Rowen. He looked down and a smile formed on his face.

"Time to test my new techniques." He stopped in middle. Before reaching the Ascendence pit he wanted to test all the new skills he got from his demonic technique. As they could help him when he is in the pit itself. He currently has three new skills at the back of his head.

"Tomb of Red Death." He went through his first technique and it was called the Tomb of Red Death. "It is an offensive skill that can trap the enemy in the domain of death." He experienced more and smiled. "It is a powerful killing technique."

He found out that the domain of death was a primordial technique that is used by soul reapers from hell. "At it's the best form it can kill any living thing that exists." Rowen was happy with his first skill.

"Let me try this skill first and I will go through other skills after this." He thought and looked down in the lush green jungle. He was sure by how deep he was in the wilderness that some high-level monsters must be here. Flapping his demon wings he descended on the ground looking for a good opponent.

Breezing through the woods with the extremely fast speed he started searching for a good enough beast that he can fight and test his skill. After moving for few minutes he noticed some territory signs however didn't find any powerful beasts.

His eyes then looked at a purple coloured cobra that was camouflaged into the same coloured tree leaves and smiled. "Let me test it on you first."

By the looks of it, Rowen guessed that the cobra was at True Deity realm and he could kill him with just his one finger. However, as he was not able to find any good beasts even after using his third eye he decided to test his skills on the purple cobra.

"It could work as a first test subject." Raising his hand he pointed at the Purple serpent. A heavy atmosphere enveloped the whole place. The snake quickly found out that he was spotted and it moved up and showed its fangs to scare Rowen away.

However, Rowen just smiled and balled his fist suddenly and just as he did so the whole atmosphere around him and the purple cobra changed to black. Everything around them disappeared and they were in a seemingly alternate environment. Where Both of them could see each other, no voice from outside could be heard it was dead silent.

Below them was a pool of blood that Reached up to Rowen's ankles. The pool was still and glistening, one could easily see their reflection in the pool.

The snake raised out of the blood and hissed as its tongue moved in and out. It was trying to intimidate Rowen again. However, Rowen had a smile on his face.

"You are in my complete control." He flipped his finger and suddenly a big red thorn elongated from the blood pool that pierced the cobra's head. It did not even get to struggle before it died. Its fate was sealed from the moment Rowen cast his first gaze at it.

"I have good control over this technique." Rowen was happy with his achievement.

He took a step forward and the Tomb of Red Death disappeared, the lush green environment returned to its original glory and the chirping sounds started to reverberate again in the jungle.

"I have to find an even stronger prey." There was a crazed expression on his face. The power he felt just now was very satiating. His legs moved and he started to look for other preys. He even diminished his cultivation level to the True Deity so that Beasts don't run away just from his aura. He did it with the help of his Flaw.

A third eye appeared on his forehead and he closely started to examine the place. His legs lifted slightly from the ground and he started floating away deeper in the forest.

"This is very strange. There seem to be no signs of powerful beats at this place. I can see their territory marks, however, it's like all of them suddenly disappeared from the jungle." A smile formed on his face as his interest piqued.

And only after travelling about a hundred more kilometres, he started seeing some signs and his smile widened even more. "There seem to be some capable hunters in this jungle that keeps on hunting all my prey." He looked at the small blood drops and some footprints, which was very hard to notice, however, with the help of his third eye all of this seemed pretty easy.

"Brother Lars, we have scoured through this whole place, I think we should move few thousand kilometres deeper for some better prey to catch." Rowen heard a voice and with that, he could spot two figures standing at a place about fifty kilometres away from him. He could even spot, the dead body of a Bear like beast. Its cultivation realm of martial manipulation.

"One of them is a Heretic." Rowen looked at them and an impressed expression appeared on his face. From what he could tell both of them were very young. "They are younger than me." And to be a Heretic at such an age was an impressive feat.

He could spot a girl and a guy of almost the same age, they looked twenty years old, he can also see a crown on the head of the guy. There was an orange stone in the middle of the crown.

Rowen moved few kilometres focusing on both of them and just as he was about thirty kilometres close to them the guy turned his head around to look in his direction and with that a demonic smile formed on Rowen's face.

'This guy is interesting.' Rowen thought and stopped at his place. He wanted to wait and see what their reactions would be after seeing him.
