After the God-Devouring King Gu consumed Chaos God King and advanced to the God King realm, Li Yun resumed following the Heavenly Origin Treasure Ring toward the fourth battlefield Secret Realm. Three renowned late-stage God Kings confronted him for the Supreme Immortal Gate, and Li Yun unleashed the gate against them.

• Zhang Chen’s companions warned Li Yun that the Supreme Immortal Gate had attracted the attention of powerful God Kings, and Skyship God King, Giant Wave God King, and Heavenly Sword King appeared before him.
• Giant Wave God King demanded to see the Supreme Immortal Gate, and Li Yun summoned it to suppress the three God Kings with immense divine might.

Li Yun used the Supreme Immortal Gate to injure three God Kings, then fled into the fourth Secret Realm as more powerful pursuers converged. He and his companions decided to remain in the Ancient Battlefield to grow stronger, while Li Yun warned that he would unleash the God-Devouring King Gu if their enemies kept hunting them.

• Li Yun struck Skyship God King, Giant Wave God King, and Heavenly Sword King with the Supreme Immortal Gate, then escaped before a dozen more God Kings could surround him.
• Giant Wave God King told the arriving God Kings that Li Yun's Divine Gate Treasure could unleash Peak God King-level power, then teleported away to alert the God Emperor backing him.
• Skyship God King and Heavenly Sword King also left to report the encounter, and the other God Kings departed after realizing Li Yun had escaped.

• Li Yun and the other two spent a year cultivating with the Secret Realm’s abundant Divine Medicines, and Li Yun’s strength approached that of an ordinary God King.
• The Heavenly Supreme Divine Emperor and two other Divine Emperors arrived in the Wilderness, sending Peak God King subordinates into the Ancient Battlefield while they waited outside.

• A Golden Sword Divine Palace Peak God King said Lord Golden Sword Divine Emperor had ordered them to take the treasure and told the three Divine Emperors to leave.

Four God Kings backed by the Golden Sword God Emperor drove three Divine Emperors from the contest for the Divine Gate Treasure, then attacked other God Kings inside the Ancient Battlefield. Unaware of the upheaval, Li Yun and Zhang Chen's two companions discovered a stable spatial passage in the fourth battlefield Secret Realm and entered it.

• The four God Kings invoked the Golden Sword God Emperor's authority, forcing the Heavenly Supreme Divine Emperor and two other Divine Emperors to withdraw from the Ancient Battlefield.

• Li Yun and Zhang Chen's two companions finished gathering all the Divine Medicine in the fourth Secret Realm and discovered a stable spatial passage inside a vortex.
• Li Yun put away the Supreme Immortal Gate and led Zhang Chen's two companions into the passage.

Li Yun, Zhang Ruohan, and Chen Xiu discovered a vast Secret Realm containing Divine Medicine at the Divine Emperor level, prompting Li Yun to suspect the Nine Great God Emperors monopolized it to prevent rivals from rising. Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu warned him to keep the dangerous theory to himself, and Li Yun agreed before turning to collect the Secret Realm’s Divine Medicine.

• Li Yun said he would keep his speculation private and proposed that they gather the Divine Medicine in the Secret Realm.

After Li Yun reached Divine Monarch Spark and God King-level combat power, he entered an even richer Secret Realm and began cultivating toward a God King Spark. Meanwhile, Golden Sword Divine Emperor’s four subordinate Peak God Kings, frustrated that Li Yun had not appeared, forced the waiting gods into the Ancient Battlefield to help hunt him down.

• Li Yun and Zhang Chen’s two companions cleared the Secret Realm’s Divine Medicines, and Li Yun’s Three Thousand Great Daos advanced enough for him to form a Divine Monarch Spark and gain God King-level combat power.
• A new vortex opened, and Li Yun and his companions entered a Secret Realm containing twelve Divine Emperor-level and more than eight hundred God King-level Divine Medicines.

• Divine King Jueyuan and his companions forced the waiting God Kings and Divine Monarchs into the Ancient Battlefield and began a renewed search for Li Yun.

As God Kings and their forces searched the Ancient Battlefield for Li Yun and the Divine Gate Treasure, Li Yun discovered that his Supreme Immortal Gate had devoured an entire Secret Realm and greatly advanced his Divine Sparks. Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu began attracting God King Tribulations, while mysterious beings gathered to attack them, and Li Yun raised the Supreme Immortal Gate to shield the Secret Realm.

• Divine King Jueyuan, Divine King Wu Yuan, and two other God Kings organized a massive search for Li Yun while warning each other not to provoke the Ancient Battlefield’s mysterious beings or its hidden Divine Emperor-level existence.
• The four God Kings decided they had to obtain the Divine Gate Treasure to justify driving away three Divine Emperors and earn favor with Golden Sword Divine Emperor.

• Li Yun raised the Nine-in-One Supreme Immortal Gate and spread its domain across the entire Secret Realm to protect Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu.

Li Yun used the Supreme Immortal Gate to weaken Zhang Chen's two companions' God King Tribulation and devour the Bizarre Creatures drawn to it.

• The Supreme Immortal Gate weakened the divine lightning striking Zhang Chen's two companions and swept away the Bizarre Creatures rushing toward them.

• Li Yun estimated that his new strength could rival an early God Emperor and resumed absorbing power to consolidate his realm.

After Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu completed their God King Tribulations, they defeated Ancient Bell Divine King and Bailun Divine King, who had come seeking the Supreme Immortal Gate. The two defeated Divine Kings begged Li Yun for mercy and blamed Divine King Jueyuan and his allies for forcing them to hunt him.

• Li Yun approached the defeated Divine Kings, whose fear grew as they sensed his overwhelming might.
• Ancient Bell Divine King and Bailun Divine King begged Li Yun to spare them and claimed Divine King Jueyuan and others had forced them to hunt him.

Li Yun learned that Divine Kings were hunting him for the Divine Gate Treasure, so he killed Ancient Bell Divine King and Bailun Divine King and fed them to the God-Devouring King Gu. He then went to the Ancient Battlefield entrance to blockade it, where he crushed and fed another group of Divine Kings, alarming cultivators across the battlefield.

• Ancient Bell Divine King and Bailun Divine King told Li Yun that four Peak God Kings under Golden Sword Divine Emperor were demanding the Divine Gate Treasure.

• The deaths alarmed Divine Kings and Divine Lords throughout the Ancient Battlefield.

Li Yun and his two companions faced Divine King Jueyuan and the other followers of the Golden Sword Divine Emperor at the Ancient Battlefield’s entrance. Li Yun effortlessly knocked Jueyuan down and stood on his face, leaving the gathered deities to suspect he was a Divine Emperor.

• Divine Kings and other deities rushed to the Ancient Battlefield’s entrance, where they found Li Yun, Zhang Ruohan, and Chen Xiu waiting instead of fleeing.
• Divine King Jueyuan assumed the trio had tried to escape and demanded they hand over the Divine Gate Treasure and kneel to die.

• Jueyuan attacked the two women, but Li Yun struck him down with a wave of divine power and planted his foot on his face.
• The gathered deities realized Li Yun was far stronger than they had expected and suspected he was a Divine Emperor.

• Li Yun stomped Divine King Jueyuan to death, ignoring Divine King Wu Yuan's warning about Golden Sword Divine Emperor.
• Li Yun summoned the Nine-in-One Supreme Immortal Gate, whose domain suppressed the Divine Kings, Divine Lords, and Heavenly Gods nearby.

News of the battlefield's mass deaths spread through the Myriad Gods Realm, and Heavenly Supreme Divine Emperor blamed the upheaval on the four Peak God Kings sent by Golden Sword Divine Emperor.

Heavenly Supreme Divine Emperor and Wonderful Radiance Divine Emperor suggested that Golden Sword Divine Emperor’s four subordinates might have caused the Ancient Battlefield disaster, provoking Divine Emperor Wankong to arrive and demand evidence. Wankong said the Golden Sword Divine Palace was also a victim and called for the truth to be uncovered, then asked Golden Leaf Divine Emperor for his view.

• Heavenly Supreme Divine Emperor denied that the Divine Lord with the Divine Gate Treasure could have caused the Ancient Battlefield catastrophe and suggested Golden Sword Divine Emperor’s four Divine Kings instead.
• Wonderful Radiance Divine Emperor backed Heavenly Supreme Divine Emperor and described how the four Divine Kings had behaved arrogantly toward Divine Emperors.
• Divine Emperor Wankong arrived in a fury and demanded to know what evidence supported the accusations against Golden Sword Divine Emperor.
• Golden Leaf Divine Emperor explained that they were discussing the disaster rather than deliberately slandering Golden Sword Divine Emperor.
• Divine Emperor Wankong warned everyone not to make accusations without direct evidence, noted that four of the Golden Sword Divine Palace’s Peak God Kings had died, and asked Golden Leaf Divine Emperor for his insight.

Divine Emperor Wankong sent eight Peak God Kings into the Ancient Battlefield to investigate, while Li Yun and his companions discussed the battlefield’s powerful origin. Zhang Ruohan and Zhang Chen’s other companion decided to use the God-Devouring King Gu to delay the intruders so Li Yun could continue searching.

• Divine Emperor Wankong offered a Divine Emperor-grade Divine Medicine to the eight strongest God Kings who uncovered the truth in the Ancient Battlefield.
• The eight Peak God Kings accepted the reward and entered the Ancient Battlefield.
• Li Yun sensed the newcomers and told his companions that the Divine Emperors outside were wary of entering the battlefield themselves.
• Li Yun suggested the group might be approaching the Ancient Battlefield’s powerful origin, which could explain its abundance of Divine Emperor-grade Divine Medicines.
• Zhang Ruohan and Zhang Chen’s other companion offered to hunt the intruders with the God-Devouring King Gu while Li Yun continued onward.

• The God-Devouring King Gu swallowed Flame Sun Divine King, making the blazing sun vanish.
• The seven Peak God Kings hesitated, then gathered and decided to investigate the place where the blaze had appeared.

• Zhang Ruohan raised her hand as the seven demanded an explanation and threatened to capture them.
• Zhang Ruohan summoned the God-Devouring King Gu, and the seven Peak God Kings recognized it and realized the truth too late.

With the first eight Peak God Kings missing inside the Ancient Battlefield, Divine Emperor Wankong sent thirty more Peak God Kings to investigate. The thirty entered the battlefield, while Golden Leaf Divine Emperor privately feared they might also fail to return.

• Experts gathered outside the Ancient Battlefield as the deaths within it caused growing alarm, and Divine Emperor Wankong's eight investigators remained missing after more than a month.

• Divine Emperor Wankong offered Heavenly Supreme Divine Emperor thirty Divine Emperor-grade Divine Medicines immediately and a Secret Realm if he uncovered the battlefield’s changes.
• Heavenly Supreme Divine Emperor accepted the medicines and entered the Ancient Battlefield to investigate.

Heavenly Supreme Divine Emperor entered the Ancient Battlefield to search for Divine Emperor level Divine Medicines, while Li Yun learned of his arrival and decided to meet him rather than kill him at once.
