The competition between the five academies of the five empires of the Tesla Domain had come to an end.

However, the competition had ended in a manner no one would have expected.

Kailen Darkhaven had single-handedly slaughtered several top-notch geniuses from the other academies of the other empires in a very tyrannical manner.

By the end of the competition, only the remaining participants from the Venzula Empire Academy remained.

The Venzula Empire Academy had secured the rights to the special secret realm discovered around the Latis Belt, according to the treaty signed by the five academies.

Also, Kailen Darkhaven would not be pursued by the other academies of the other empires for dealing a blow to them by slaughtering their geniuses, according to the treaty.

No one would dare to breach it due to the consequences that would follow.

If any empire academy decided to breach the treaty, they won’t be going against Kailen Darkhaven, they would be going against the Venzula Empire Academy. Also, Kailen was not the only person who killed some geniuses from other academies.

Before he killed those who offended him, some participants had already died at the hands of other participants from other academies of other empires.

If every empire academy decided to take revenge on another empire academy for the death of their geniuses, it would lead to a large-scale conflict between the academies. The price for such an occurrence would be too much to pay.

No one would breach the treaty over the deaths of a couple of geniuses, regardless of how much potential they had.

So, as expected, the academies of the empires closed the Chapter with regards to the competition peacefully and quietly. Every academy returned to their normal operations.

However, one person was currently the talk of the whole Tesla Domain.

Kailen Darkhaven...

Many dug up news about him...

He was the first Transcendent from the light region and he was a very terrifying person in the light region even before he became a Transcendent. This guy’s feats in the light region, before he became a Transcendent, left the feats of several awakeners, when they were in the edge region, before they became transcendents, in the dust.

Interesting. A mental image of someone with a similar historical parallel formed in their minds.

Sage Ling Feng, the first Transcendent from the edge region, the founder of the Lord Council, one of the hegemons standing at the peak of the chaotic region, and technically the whole universe.

Could Kailen Darkhaven become like him one day?

This comparison was purely a historical comparison. There was nothing intricately special tied to this reasoning. Many in the Tesla Domain simply assumed that since the first Transcendent from the edge region became such a hegemon, could the first Transcendent from the light region also become something similar, repeating history?

Only time would tell.

But no doubt...

Kailen Darkhaven was not ordinary.

If something unfortunate did not happen to him, he would become very powerful in the future.

Several also found out that the royal family of the Venzula Empire had made him their enemy.

They came to understand the skirmishes between the Academy and the royal family.

It seemed a war between the two factions was imminent.

The Venzula Empire would not be peaceful for long.

They observed.

Who would emerge victorious? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

And who would fall?

Would the academy become the ultimate ruler of the Venzula Empire, or would the Royal Family of the Venzula Empire subdue the academy forever?

Most importantly, what will Kailen Darkhaven’s fate be?

The whole Tesla Domain was paying close attention.

*****

Northern Border of the Venzula Empire.

Latis Belt.

500 light-years away from the border of the Andromis Imperium Empire.

Somewhere in the Latis Belt.

A spaceship glided through the void.

Occasionally, the spaceship would blink and reappear at a different place.

Very soon, a very large entrance in the void with distorting energies came into view.

At the entrance, several professors from the Venzula Empire Academy floated.

After the conference ended and the Venzula Empire Academy claimed the right to the special realm, these professors were dispatched here to guard the entrance till the Principle, the professors and the five remaining representatives arrived.

Under the gazes of the professors guarding the entrance to this special secret realm, several figures stepped out of the spaceship.

A woman with a Gothic yet mesmerizing look was in the lead.

"We greet the vice principal." The professors guarding the entrance addressed Vice Principal Morgana respectfully.

She nodded. "Thank you for the hard work, ladies and gentlemen."

"It’s our duty ma’am," they replied.

Morgana turned to Kailen and the other four remaining participants.

"Kindly guard the entrance while they are inside," she said to the professors who had been guarding the entrance to the secret realm.

"I will be entering into seclusion for a while. Let me know when they come out of the secret realm."

"Yes ma’am."

After her words, she entered the spaceship again with the other professors who had embarked on the journey to the Meridian Oceanic Empire.

The spaceship bolted off.

The professors guarding the entrance of the secret realm looked at Kailen and the other four.

They nodded as glints of approval and admiration flashed through their eyes. Their expressions were more obvious when their gazes flashed across Kailen.

"Who would have thought someone who arrived in the academy not long ago would become the talk of the whole Tesla domain and cause such an uproar," they thought.

"Ladies and gentlemen, kindly proceed into the secret realm. Only rank 5 novice stage Transcendents can enter. But the dangers inside may be more than you can imagine. Kindly prioritize survival. Opportunities and danger go hand in hand, but one cannot seek opportunities if they are dead. Best of luck," one of the professors, someone from the elven race, said.

"Thank you seniors," Kailen and company replied.

They proceeded towards the secret realm, passed through the energy distorting entrance, and disappeared.

"How strong do you think they will be when they come out?" one of the professors asked.

"I bet Kailen Darkhaven will be at the rank 6 novice stage Transcendent level. With his principle comprehension speed, I won’t even be surprised if he’s unrivaled at the rank 6 novice stage transcendent level," someone said.

"Indeed. As for the others with him, they are all monsters too. They’ve been at the rank 5 novice stage Transcendent level for a long time. If the principle Fragments in the secret realm are very helpful, they could also break through to the rank 6 novice stage Transcendent level. But their level of strength will be nowhere near that of Kailen Darkhaven," another added with certainty.

Everyone nodded.

"Seriously, I get more nervous every day when I think of the upcoming war. I really hope we win," someone said.

Everyone became silent, lost in thought.

As transcendents, they had seen their fair share of wars before they became transcendents when they were in the edge region, but after arriving in the chaotic region, this war would be the first time they would be involved in a large-scale war between transcendent powers.

It was only natural that they felt nervous. No one knew what the future held.
