Promise of Death

An almost imperceptible shimmer in space sped forward at a rapid speed, unnoticed by anyone it passed by. The shimmer paused for a moment as John was knocked into the Dao Transformation portal, before it sped forward once more. It disappeared into the Heaven Tribulation warrior portal, unnoticed by anyone.

The shimmer instantly appeared before an expansive forest. Trees that stretched miles into the sky with trunks hundreds of yards wide appeared, as an ancient aura emanated from the awe-inspiring forest. Calls of various beasts sounded out occasionally, revealing the forest to be inhabited by more than just the trial participants.

The shimmer ignored the awe-inspiring forest as it sped forward once more, its direction purposeful as if it knew where it was going. The shimmer traversed the forest with ease, bypassing any dangerous beast that occasionally appeared. It continued like this for half a day before it suddenly stopped, just a hundred yards from a lone youth.
