Chapter 795. Arriving at the northern mountains.
Kailen pointed his right hand forward. An ethereal hue appeared on the right hand.
The ball of darkness came down on him with overbearing might. The ball of darkness touched his hand. The ethereal hue around Kailen’s hand shimmered like a billowing leaflet on coming into contact with the ball of darkness. The ball of darkness distorted and twisted. Eventually, it was snuffed out of existence.
The human with the principle of darkness widened his eyes. A cold gleam flashed through his eyes. This fellow was not weak.
He waved his hand. A large bell made of darkness formed instantly. The bell was overbearing, blotting out the red sky. The bell, formed from the principle of darkness, spun and shot towards Kailen.
Kailen stepped forward. He slashed forward diagonally with his right hand. Several spatial slashes appeared across the bell instantly. The bell twisted and distorted. But it kept heading towards Kailen.
Kailen slashed again diagonally with his right hand. More spatial slashes appeared across the bell. The bell, a few moments away from touching him, was hollowed out of existence and disappeared.
The onlookers were extremely shocked. Who the hell was this terrifying individual?
The human whose attacks Kailen had effortlessly nullified regretted targeting this fellow. Why did he have to listen to that bitch and attack this person? There was no backing out now. He had to use his final attack.
His eyes gleamed with dark light. A terrifying sword formed from darkness appeared in front of him, blotting out the skies. The sword gleamed with a malevolent vibe. The sword slashed towards Kailen.
Kailen took another step forward; he disappeared from where he previously stood. The sword slashed only air.
Kailen reappeared a few walks before the fellow. He slashed his hand forward again. Several spatial slashes appeared across the fellow’s body.
He screamed in fear. The spatial slashes spread across his whole being. His being twisted and bent, fluctuating in and out of existence.
A glint of fear flashed through the eyes of the human with the principle of darkness. Was he going to die? Why did he have to make an enemy out of this person? Had he known the fellow was this powerful, he would have weighed the pros and cons very well before he decided to attack him. However, there was no cure for regrets.
His figure vanished, eradicated completely from existence by Kailen’s spatial slashes.
Kailen turned to look at the others. They stood in one place, rooted in shock and fear. They stared into his deep, abyss-like eyes with a cold, unfathomable depth.
The woman who had identified Kailen earlier with her principle of space felt her knees grow very weak. Who the hell was this person? They had been in this secret realm for a while, so they naturally did not know Kailen. They wondered when such a terrifying rank 3 novice stage transcendent had appeared in the academy. Also, why did they have to offend someone like this?
The eyes of the lady gleamed with a mischievous glint. "Sir, we are very sorry for how we acted. It’s all just a misunderstanding. If possible, let me make it up—"
She didn’t even finish speaking before she saw an ethereal sword which caused the void to meld and twist in her line of vision. This was the last thing she saw before her vision went dark. She could not even register how she died.
As for her colleagues, they saw her head had been hollowed out from the rest of her body by an ethereal spatial sword. Her dead body floated across the volcanic waters, and her head floated a few moments away from her body. In her dead eyes, there was an expression of puzzlement and fear.
Just when their survival instincts kicked in, and they wanted to run away, they saw a large spatial bell spin across the place. Anytime it came into contact with any of them, screams emerged and silence followed.
Very soon, the place became entirely quiet. Dead bodies twisted at grotesque angles floated across the volcanic stream.
Kailen melded with the void and disappeared.

Kailen reappeared not too far away from where he previously was.
During this period, he hunted space principle rank 3 novice stage chaotic beasts. After killing them, he’d make use of their principle fragments and comprehend the principle of space. As he did this, he slowly journeyed towards the northern mountains, the location revealed by the hybrid to be where the principle fragments were.
He journeyed slowly because he wanted to consolidate his strength to handle the threats that were in the place. Eventually, Kailen managed to break through to the rank 4 novice stage transcendent level.
He started killing weak rank 4 novice stage chaotic beasts with the principle of space, and started making use of the principle fragments they left behind for space principle comprehension. However, he naturally didn’t make substantial progress in the rank 4 novice stage transcendent level during this period.
He was not surprised by this. The higher one climbed ranks in the transcendent level, the higher the chasm between ranks became, and the more difficult and longer it would take to advance, even for someone with a very high principle comprehension speed.
Kailen eventually arrived at the location.
The Northern Mountains.
As usual, the skies of the place were dyed red. The ground was full of volcanic streams. The growls and wails of chaotic beasts permeated the place. The temperature here was extremely hot compared to other places.
Kailen looked at the mountains ahead. Several volcanic streams spewed from their exteriors and their centre. Kailen saw several large dragons with thick scales and malevolent eyes circling above the skies around the top of the mountains from where he was currently floating.
"The problem is I don’t know which of the mountains specifically has the principle fragments. If I activate the principle of space carelessly and any of these creatures have the principle of space and I’m discovered, I could end up in serious trouble. These creatures are very powerful rank 4 novice stage chaotic beasts. Currently, I cannot handle them. What should I do?"
