Kailen stared back at the creature. It was a Rank 1 novice-stage beast. However, it could not be underestimated. It had just killed several Rank 1 novice-stage transcendents, after all. Kailen himself would have died had he not escaped the sonic boom attack of the creature in time.

The creature leaped into the air with a jump that left trails behind it. It hollered in the air and launched another sonic boom towards different directions. Where Kailen was standing was also included in the attack.

Kailen simply waved his hand. The void rippled and morphed. An extremely large ethereal katana appeared. The katana rippled with strong spatial fluctuations. Its edges seemed to meld and twist into the void. He stood still and calm, unbothered by the battles and the chaos surrounding him. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Several Rank 1 novice-stage transcendents stared in his direction, having distanced themselves from the creature’s attack range. What was this fellow doing? This creature was literally one of the most powerful Rank 1 novice-stage chaotic beasts in the vicinity, turning several transcendents into puddles of blood with its sonic booms. Didn’t he know that?

As they observed, the sonic boom of the creature approached Kailen Darkhaven. The large spatial katana he had formed shot towards the sonic boom like a bow released from an arrow, cleaving through the void. At that moment, time seemed to have slowed down. The sonic boom met with the spatial katana.

However, instead of the obliteration of the spatial katana and the eventual death of Kailen Darkhaven many deemed an inevitable occurrence, something else happened. The wave of the sonic boom bent unnaturally, like waves being controlled by something. Then, the sonic boom somehow disappeared... as if somehow erased by the spatial katana from existence.

It didn’t end there. The spatial katana continued towards the colossal gorilla. One moment, the spatial katana was several distances away from the creature. Another moment, it was in front of the creature. In another, the creature roared in pain. The spatial katana had cleaved through its colossal figure... no, the katana had hollowed through its colossal figure. It was as if reality itself had been rewritten. The gorilla’s figure twisted and morphed unnaturally as the katana continued its descent into its colossal body. It roared weakly, being erased from existence by the spatial katana, hollowing its being out of existence.

Nothing remained. The creature was literally annihilated, no... erased. A principle fragment of sound appeared after the creature’s death. But Kailen didn’t have the Principle of Sound. He didn’t pay attention to it.

Darkhaven did not care about the shocked expressions surrounding him. He floated into the skies. Kailen did not even check the large holographic ranking list. The holographic ranking list was created specifically for this beast tide by the guild. It was to rank the guild members according to the contribution points obtained from killing the Rank 1 novice-stage chaotic beasts. It was different from the premium ranking list. The contribution points obtained by guild members on the ranking list of the beast tide will be added to the contribution points each guild member already had before the beast tide. Those who managed to obtain total contribution points that pushed them to the premium ranking will appear on the premium rankings. Those who were already on the premium ranking list could lose their rankings, push higher, or maintain it.

Of course, the other organizations also had their own reward and ranking system floating across the place. Anyway, Kailen scanned the environs very well. His gaze was fixed on several Rank 1 novice-stage chaotic beasts. He waved his hand. Several of the Rank 1 novice-stage chaotic beasts were separated into tiny bits by Kailen’s Principle of Space. In the end, they were completely erased.

Whenever Kailen saw a strong chaotic beast he could not deal with approaching, he would meld with the void and reappear at a different place.

An extremely large serpentine creature shot across the region where Kailen and several other transcendents belonging to the guild and the other organizations were. The serpentine creature was so large that Kailen looked like an ant compared to it. Its figure blotted out the sky. An ice avalanche rolled around the serpentine beast. Wherever the chaotic beast passed, ice sculptures were left in its wake. It was a very powerful Rank 1 novice-stage chaotic beast.

Very soon, it almost crashed into Kailen. Kailen simply stretched his hand forward. An ethereal hue appeared around his figure. But the ethereal hue was more concentrated on his right hand. The ethereal hue caused slight spatial distortions.

The creature crashed into Kailen... or so it thought. Kailen’s hand, concentrated with the ethereal hue, touched the creature surrounded by the avalanche. At the same time, the hue around Kailen’s figure seemed to distort the avalanche surrounding the creature, which was billowing towards him earlier. His figure remained untouched.

When Kailen’s hand concentrated with the ethereal hue touched the creature, something shocking and chilling happened. Kailen’s hand, surrounded by the ethereal hue, seemed to have peered through the small distance between him and the creature and touched the serpentine creature’s head. It was a very strange and inexplicable occurrence. It was as if he had not moved.

However, what happened next proved otherwise. At this point, Kailen was one of the transcendents on the battlefield who was the highlight of the stream. He didn’t know how much he was rising through the contribution ranking list of the guild for the beast tide and how much attention he was garnering.

Several observed as the creature’s form seemed to expand. It felt something run through its figure. Some sort of force was pulling every fiber of its body apart from one another. It was as if the very space between cells were being separated and widened from one another. Its form kept expanding against its will as it hissed with fear. It had never expected something like this to happen.

Very soon, it looked like a giant balloon. Then, the creature popped like a balloon. Its innards splintered across the place. Several stared at the scene. It was very gory and chilling. Kailen Darkhaven’s application of the Principle of Space was quite... unconventional.

Several stared at the pale-skinned, dark-haired, dark-eyed figure clad in a long coat, jeans, and sneakers, hovering in the air with an ethereal hue surrounding his figure. So this was the famed newbie of the Dawnseer Guild, huh...

It seemed the Dawnseer Guild had lucked out this time.
