Chapter Summaries

After the Nine-in-One Supreme Immortal Gate devoured Divine Source Qi, its power poured into Li Yun, rapidly advancing his cultivation until he became a Great God. The gate then bestowed the Eternal Thought Heavenly Scripture, which left Li Yun with newfound confidence in his command over the Limitless and the Three Thousand Great Daos.

• The Nine-in-One Supreme Immortal Gate began devouring Divine Source Qi and unleashed its power into Li Yun, strengthening his Three Thousand Great Daos Divine Sparks.
• Over two years, Li Yun's Three Thousand Great Daos all became Middle-level Divine Sparks, and his Innate Limitless Divine Spark advanced into a Great God Spark.
• Li Yun withdrew his Divine Might before it could kill Zhang Ruohan, then received a streak of spiritual light from the Nine-in-One Supreme Immortal Gate.
• Li Yun immersed himself in the Eternal Thought Heavenly Scripture for three years while Zhang Ruohan watched over him.
• Li Yun emerged from his immersion convinced that the scripture let him command the Limitless and Three Thousand Great Daos, and declared that he could dissolve a God Lord Spark with a single thought.

After advancing to Greater God, Li Yun returned to the Secret Realm and found his old acquaintance Chen Jiuxu struggling to secure a Supreme Immortal opportunity. Li Yun offered to help him, and Chen Jiuxu eagerly accepted the possibility.

• Chen Jiuxu recognized Li Yun and eagerly asked whether he was truly willing to help.

• Li Yun rejected the Cang Life Master's pleas and annihilated him, causing the missing fate allotments of all living beings to return.

Li Yun entered the God Tomb’s Death Gate and discovered a surviving Heavenly God’s soul hidden in a bead. The soul revealed that the tomb held a God-Devouring King Gu, not a God King, and was a trap that turned everyone who entered into nourishment.

• Li Yun left Martial Ancestor Chen Jiuxu after assuring him that the Cang Life Master’s death had secured his opportunity.

• The Heavenly God’s soul revealed that the God Tomb contained a God-Devouring King Gu rather than a God King.

Li Yun learned that the God-Devouring King Gu was a Primordial Ten Fierce Beast capable of threatening the God Emperors and suspected someone had hidden it in the God Tomb to revive it. He sealed the pearl containing it and hurried deeper into the Death Gate passage, where he found Chen Xiu in alarming condition.

• Li Yun questioned a Heavenly God about the God-Devouring King Gu and learned it was one of the Primordial Ten Fierce Beasts.
• The Heavenly God explained that the Gu fed on Divinity, had once devoured hundreds of thousands of gods, and was supposedly killed by a God Emperor.
• Li Yun and the Heavenly God suspected someone had secretly hidden the surviving Gu in the God Tomb to revive it, possibly as a weapon against the Nine Great God Emperors.

• Li Yun sealed the pearl containing the Gu inside the Mysterious Gate World and rushed through the Death Gate passage toward Chen Xiu.
• Li Yun found Chen Xiu in alarming condition.

Li Yun found Chen Xiu trapped beside the God-Devouring King Gu and attacked the Primordial Ten Fierce Beast despite her warning. After discovering his blows could gradually injure it, he spent several days battering it until it was wounded and apparently begged for mercy.

• Li Yun rushed into the hall and struck the God-Devouring King Gu, whose void-like body seemed to let his attacks pass through it.
• Chen Xiu warned Li Yun that the God-Devouring King Gu was a Primordial Ten Fierce Beast and urged him to leave and spread word of the God Tomb's scheme.
• Li Yun realized that his attacks were causing slight injuries and relentlessly pounded the God-Devouring King Gu, while Chen Xiu recognized that he had become a powerful Great God.
• After several days and roughly a million punches, Li Yun left the God-Devouring King Gu badly wounded and weakened.
• The God-Devouring King Gu shrieked at Li Yun, and he realized it was begging for mercy.

Li Yun beat the God-Devouring King Gu until it submitted and gave him a life-bound mark, making it his pet. Chen Xiu promised to keep its existence secret and said she knew a place that could help it grow; then Li Yun sensed someone approaching and prepared to settle the final score.

• Li Yun stopped the God-Devouring King Gu from attacking Chen Xiu and threatened it into submission.

Li Yun and Chen Xiu entered the God Tomb’s burial chamber, where Li Yun killed the Rebellious Holy Son and the deities who attacked them. After settling matters in the Secret Realm, Li Yun returned with Chen Xiu to Cold Hill Land, where Zhang Ruohan was nearing her Divine Tribulation.

• The Rebellious Holy Son and the other deities found Li Yun and Chen Xiu in the burial chamber and demanded the God King Inheritance, though Chen Xiu told them there was none.
• Li Yun seized and killed the Rebellious Holy Son, revealing his Greater God strength.
• Li Yun killed the Chaos God Sect deities and the independent cultivator deities who had joined the siege, then sent the surviving onlookers out of the God Tomb.
• Li Yun showed old friends around the Secret Realm and guided some opportunities to them before quietly returning to Cold Hill Land with Chen Xiu.
• Zhang Ruohan strengthened her foundation and organized her cultivation until she was about to face the Divine Tribulation.

The Chaos God Sect discovered that the Rebellious Holy Son had died, but the Chaos God King’s Soul-Returning Divine Technique could not reveal how he perished. Meanwhile, Li Yun stood guard as Zhang Ruohan faced the Divine Tribulation again in the Cold Hill Land.

• A guard found the Rebellious Holy Son’s Divine Soul Lamp extinguished and reported his death to the Chaos God King and the elders.
• Daozhen urged the sect to investigate where the Holy Son and the other disciples had been trapped and whether someone had killed them.
• The Chaos God King used the Soul-Returning Divine Technique, but it could not recover any traces of the Holy Son’s final experiences.
• The Chaos God King ordered a sweeping investigation across the Chaos God Divine Domain, stirring alarm as news of the Holy Son’s death spread.
• Li Yun remained unaware of the investigation while guarding Zhang Ruohan in the Cold Hill Land as she rose to meet the golden divine lightning.

Zhang Ruohan passed her Divine Tribulation and became a Middle God, then two gods arrived and demanded her hidden resources. Li Yun intervened when the intruders attacked, killing the Middle God and sending the High-God crashing into an iceberg.

• Zhang Ruohan overcame all eighty-one Divine Tribulation lightning bolts and formed a Middle God Divine Spark, while Chen Xiu resolved to cultivate for her own tribulation.
• Two gods arrived at the Cold Hill Land, recognized Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu as former Celestial Gods, and demanded Zhang Ruohan's resource treasury.
• Zhang Ruohan unleashed her ice-and-snow divine power, and the High-God ordered his companion Hun Shan to attack with him.
• Li Yun stopped Zhang Ruohan from fighting and struck the two intruders with his divine intent.
• Li Yun destroyed Hun Shan's divine body, captured his Divine Spark, and sent the High-God crashing into an iceberg.

Li Yun killed a High-God and fed his Divine Spark and a Middle God Spark to the God-Devouring King Gu, which evolved to the strength of a Middle God. When a Heavenly God and four Great Gods arrived at Cold Hill Land, their leader recognized Chen Xiu and Zhang Ruohan as old friends.

• A High-God fled from Li Yun, but Li Yun killed him with a flick of his finger and stored his Divine Spark in the Mysterious Gate World.
• Li Yun let the God-Devouring King Gu devour the High-God's Divine Spark and a Middle God Spark, and the creature evolved to a realm comparable to a Middle God.
• The God-Devouring King Gu asked Li Yun to let it out, but Li Yun refused and warned it to stay hidden.
• Five powerful figures arrived at Cold Hill Land, led by a Heavenly God and accompanied by four Great Gods, so Li Yun prepared to defend himself.
• The Heavenly God saw Chen Xiu and Zhang Ruohan and greeted them with shock and delight as old friends.

Li Yun, Zhang Ruohan, and Chen Xiu reunited with Hèlian Wangfeng, who learned that the two women had made Li Yun their shared Dao Companion. Hèlian invited them back after revealing that the Thousand God Alliance had gained a fourth God King, and Zhang Ruohan suspected it was God Lord Fanqing.

• Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu greeted Hèlian Wangfeng and introduced Li Yun as their shared Dao Companion.
• Hèlian was astonished that the two former rivals had chosen the same man, and Li Yun joked with him about their fate.
• Hèlian explained that he had come to investigate the Divine Tribulation and asked why Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu had begun cultivating again.
• Zhang Ruohan said they had died in a Secret Realm in the northern Ancient Battlefield, reincarnated, and returned to undergo the Divine Tribulation.
• Hèlian invited the group to return with him and revealed that the Thousand God Alliance had gained a fourth God King.
• Zhang Ruohan guessed that the new God King was God Lord Fanqing.

Li Yun, Zhang Ruohan, and Chen Xiu traveled with Hèlian Wangfeng to Fanqing Divine City to meet God King Fanqing, hoping she might help restore Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu’s cultivation. After settling into Hèlian’s estate, Li Yun warned the two women that the God-Devouring King Gu sensed hostility from their host.

• Hèlian Wangfeng revealed that Fanqing Divine Lord had become God King Fanqing and invited Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu to meet her.
• Li Yun agreed to accompany Zhang Ruohan, Chen Xiu, and Hèlian Wangfeng to Fanqing Divine City.
• Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu marveled at the Azure Banyan King Tree surrounding God King Fanqing’s Royal Palace.

• After a female Great God left to fetch more food, Li Yun secretly warned Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu that the God-Devouring King Gu sensed hostility from Hèlian Wangfeng.

Hèlian Wangfeng suspected that Li Yun, Zhang Ruohan, and Chen Xiu had killed the Chaos God Sect’s Rebellious Holy Son, and he set out to betray them for the offered reward. Li Yun recognized that Hèlian Wangfeng was plotting against them and arranged to leave the residence under An Qie’s escort.

• Hèlian Wangfeng learned that the Chaos God Sect was offering one million essences of heaven and earth for the killer of its Rebellious Holy Son, and suspected Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu were responsible.
• Hèlian Wangfeng decided to sell out Li Yun’s companions and traveled personally toward the Chaos God Divine Domain.
• Li Yun noticed Great Gods secretly watching the courtyard and questioned An Qie about Hèlian Wangfeng’s absence.
• An Qie claimed God King Fanqing was in seclusion and Hèlian Wangfeng had been sent on an urgent mission, asking the three to wait several days.
• Li Yun pretended to accept An Qie’s explanation and asked to explore God King City; An Qie agreed to accompany the three with another Great God.

Li Yun ambushed An Qie and another Great God, fed their divine sparks to the God-Devouring King Gu, and forced An Qie to reveal Hèlian Wangfeng’s plans. Learning that Hèlian Wangfeng had gone to the Chaos God Domain to implicate him in the Rebellious Holy Son’s death, Li Yun decided to slaughter everyone at Hèlian Wangfeng’s estate.

• Li Yun led An Qie and another Great God into an alley, where he annihilated them and kept An Qie’s divine spark for questioning.
• The God-Devouring King Gu consumed the other Great God’s spark and advanced to the High-Divinity realm.
• Li Yun threatened An Qie until she revealed that Hèlian Wangfeng had gone to the Chaos God Domain and suspected Li Yun’s group of killing the Rebellious Holy Son.
• Li Yun learned that Hèlian Wangfeng planned to contact the Chaos God Sect over its reward and killed An Qie by feeding her spark to the God-Devouring King Gu.
• Li Yun decided to wipe out Hèlian Wangfeng’s estate that night.

Li Yun avenged the betrayal by wiping out Hèlian Wangfeng’s estate, but an attack on the Azure Banyan King Tree gave the God-Devouring King Gu a chance to parasitize it. Li Yun and his companions fled the Thousand God Domain and reached the Red King God Domain.

• Li Yun told Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu that Fanqing Divine King City was poorly defended and decided to massacre Hèlian Wangfeng’s estate in revenge.
• Li Yun killed the four Great Gods who confronted them, collected their God Sparks, and used his power to silently slaughter the estate and loot a treasure vault.
• The Azure Banyan King Tree attacked sixteen God Lords from the Giant Wood Divine Domain, throwing Fanqing Divine King City into chaos as its defenders sought reinforcements.
• The God-Devouring King Gu urged Li Yun to let it parasitize and devour the Azure Banyan King Tree, so Li Yun released it and escaped with Zhang and Chen.
• Li Yun and his companions teleported for three days and hid in the neighboring Red King God Domain.

After twenty years living quietly in the Red King God Domain, Li Yun, Chen Xiu, and Zhang Ruohan learned that the God-Devouring King Gu had returned after draining the Azure Banyan King Tree dry. The tree’s destruction sparked war between the Thousand God Domain and the Giant Wood God Domain, while the Gu advanced to the Divine Lord realm.

• Li Yun, Chen Xiu, and Zhang Ruohan spent twenty years cultivating in a secluded town in the Red King God Domain, where Chen Xiu and Zhang Ruohan returned to the High-God rank.
• Li Yun cultivated with the Nine-in-One Supreme Immortal Gate, strengthening his Divine Sparks without advancing to Heavenly God.
• The God-Devouring King Gu returned to Li Yun after parasitizing the Azure Banyan King Tree for twenty years.
• Meng Poshang rushed into Li Yun’s manor and reported that the Azure Banyan King Tree had withered and the Thousand God Domain had declared war on the Giant Wood God Domain.
• Li Yun concealed that the God-Devouring King Gu had drained the tree’s essence and reached the Divine Lord realm.

After the God-Devouring King Gu drained the Azure Banyan King Tree, the Thousand God Alliance declared war on the Giant Wood God Domain, and the Red King God Domain unexpectedly activated its highest alert. Li Yun suspected the Red King God Domain had discovered the Gu and sealed the domain to keep it from escaping.

• Li Yun considered how the God-Devouring King Gu had drained the Azure Banyan King Tree over twenty years and become a God Lord, making the Thousand God Alliance likely to blame the Giant Wood God Domain.
• Meng Poshang told Li Yun that the Scarlet King Divine Hall had issued a Level One alert, and the Red King Primordial Heaven Divine Array sealed the Red King God Domain.
• Li Yun realized that the open Divine Domain filled the region with God King laws and left him powerless to resist a God King.
• Meng Poshang left to gather information and warned Li Yun, Chen Xiu, and the others not to go outside without identity tokens.
• Li Yun suspected the Red King God Domain had detected the God-Devouring King Gu and activated the Divine Domain to prevent it from escaping.

Li Yun learned that the Red King God Domain’s alert had been caused by a Heavenly Fire Qilin Beast, not the God-Devouring King Gu. After the God Domain vanished, he and his companions left, giving Meng Poshang cultivation techniques and divine arts before they departed.

• Meng Poshang returned and explained that the Scarlet King Divine Hall had activated the God Domain to subdue a Heavenly Fire Qilin Beast.
• Li Yun and his companions realized the alert had been a false alarm and decided to leave once the God Domain was lifted.
• Li Yun and Meng Poshang drank together, and Li Yun told him they were moving on to another God Domain.
• Meng Poshang woke to find Li Yun and the other two gone, with a Jade Slip containing cultivation techniques and three divine arts left behind.
• After the God Domain vanished, Li Yun and his companions immediately left the Red King God Domain.

Li Yun chose the desolate Withered Soul Ridge as a safe place to cultivate after learning that most resource-rich lands belonged to God Kings. After discovering the ridge’s history and deciding the Emperor Nanchen posed no threat if they left it untouched, he invited Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu to cultivate with him inside the Supreme Immortal Gate.

• Li Yun asked Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu to find a place where they could cultivate without risking entry into a God King's Divine Domain, and they suggested remote Withered Soul Ridge.
• Three months later, Li Yun and his companions crossed twelve Divine Domains and reached the barren ridge on the edge of the Southern Heaven Great Domain.
• Zhang Ruohan explained that Emperor Nanchen had burned the forest for thirty thousand years with his Southern Emperor Divine Flame after three divine beasts killed his son.
• Li Yun learned that reviving the ridge's earth veins could anger Emperor Nanchen, but his companions assured him that simply living there would not draw the God Emperor's attention.
• Li Yun decided to establish the Supreme Immortal Gate at Withered Soul Ridge and invited Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu to cultivate there and pursue Flawless Divine Sparks.
