Suddenly, the television went black, indicating that the live broadcast had been interrupted.

A thunderous shout echoed from the top of the tallest skyscraper in Golden City.

"How dare you!"

Li Cunxu looked through the window and saw clouds in the sky forming a giant hand reaching towards the battlefield.

The referee breathed a sigh of relief; the Golden King had taken action, preventing the Gate of the Demon Prison from descending.

Li Cunxu was not so optimistic. The Demon God Sect was not foolish; would they make a move without confidence?

Reality confirmed Li Cunxu's thoughts as a black Dragon Breath Cannon, emitting Demonic Qi, shattered the Golden King's enormous cloud hand.

Li Cunxu followed the direction from which the Dragon Breath Cannon came. A demonic dragon shrouded in Demonic Qi was flying in the sky, with a figure in a black robe standing atop its head.

Only a King can stop a King.

So, this black-robed person was likely a King of the Demon God Sect.

"How did the alliance mess up? Letting a King from the Demon God Sect slip into the Golden Secret Realm."

The safest response was to exit the Golden Secret Realm and return to Divine University, but Li Cunxu had little hope of this, as the Demon God Sect would have considered this possibility when they targeted the Golden Secret Realm.

The audience and contestants could normally exit the Golden Secret Realm. Within ten minutes, the Golden Secret Realm would be empty, so what was the point of attacking an empty Golden Secret Realm?

Sure enough, Li Cunxu used the Golden Key but couldn't teleport out.

Looking at the Golden Key that shimmered with golden light, Li Cunxu knocked his head in frustration.

"Faced with an emergency, I'm still not calm enough. How could I try to exit the realm without ensuring safety first?"

Suddenly, Li Cunxu recalled a game experience, where a similar secret realm was attacked by the Evil God Sect. In his haste, Li Cunxu exited the realm, only to find that the exit key had been tampered with, and he was transported right into the Evil God Sect's lair.

That time, Li Cunxu paid the price of ten lives and ten levels to escape the sect's lair.

The safest approach was to hide and wait for the alliance's rescue.

The alliance would spare no effort in the rescue; there was no need to worry about the intensity of their rescue operations.

Participants in the Golden Tournament were the elite among the elite, and the alliance would surely be unwilling to lose these talents.

The Demon God Sect's attack appeared in the live broadcast and couldn't be hidden. If many spectators died, who would dare to come to watch in the future?

Furthermore, the Golden Tournament was an international event, and a large number of deaths would have severe repercussions.

Li Cunxu tightly grasped Li Shiji's life-saving jade and hid in the competition room, the safest place in the building. The entire interior was equipped with titanium shields that could withstand a golden-level battle.

When it comes to King-level battles, don't watch from a distance; even a slight aftershock could reduce you to dust, even from inside watching through a window.

Ignoring the impending descent of the Gate of the Demon Prison, the Golden King pulled the black-robed man into the Golden Beast Fighting Arena.

The Golden Beast Fighting Arena, a Venerable King technique, forcefully draws opponents into the arena for a fair life-and-death battle.

The only way to escape from the Golden Beast Fighting Arena is to defeat your opponent. Even the person who casts the arena must defeat their opponent to leave; otherwise, no one can escape.

The Golden Beast Fighting Arena offers the caster no benefits, but it has an advantage that makes countless King Beastmasters eager to acquire this skill: every time you defeat a formidable opponent, the arena grants you a Beast Battle Will.

The Beast Battle Will can be absorbed, enhancing one's Spiritual Power without any side effects.

Though Li Cunxu hid in the competition room, he did not forget to pay attention to the situation outside.

If the Golden King clashed with the black-robed man over the city, hiding in the competition room would be useless; fleeing would still be necessary.

Observing the situation was the Curse Crow, capable of resurrection, unaffected by the aftershocks of a battle between two Kings.

Seeing the black-robed man disappear, the Curse Crow immediately came to report.

Li Cunxu asked, "Are you saying the black-robed man vanished with a flash of golden light?"

The Curse Crow nodded.

Li Cunxu stepped out of the competition room and ran to the window to observe, confirming the city's calmness.

"It seems the Golden King worried about the black-robed man's potential to wreak havoc on the city, used some method to take him away."

"Let's go help at the battlefield."

Once the Gate of the Demon Prison successfully descends, it will open a portal through which endless Demon Prison Beasts would flood out.

The longer the Gate of the Demon Prison stays open, the stronger the Demon Prison Beasts that emerge from it become. Similarly, when the gate first opens, the beasts emerging are weak.

With the Gate of the Demon Prison just descending, it was the prime time for action.

Li Cunxu was not alone in this realization; other contestants and capable spectators rushed to the battlefield too.

Riding the Flame White Horse, Li Cunxu charged into the battlefield but did not see the Gate of the Demon Prison.

Upon inquiring with the staff managing the orderly exit of the audience, he learned that several Overlord-level Beastmasters had relocated the Gate of the Demon Prison to another part of the Golden Secret Realm.

"What about Shen Wujiu?"

"He was sent to the hospital for treatment."

After a day and night, the Golden King emerged bloodied from the Golden Beast Fighting Arena.

Clearly, the Golden King had won.

In a rush to secure victory, the Golden King sustained significant injuries and hurriedly made his way toward the area of the Golden Secret Realm with the densest Demonic Qi.

The Golden King asked, "Where's the Gate of the Demon Prison? Why haven't I seen it? Did you destroy it?"

One of the Overlord Beastmasters replied, "No, this Gate of the Demon Prison was somewhat special; it fused with the Golden Secret Realm before we could destroy it."

The Golden King's expression turned grim; the fusion of the Gate of the Demon Prison with the Golden Secret Realm meant that the Golden King couldn't use force to destroy it, unless he destroyed the Golden Secret Realm along with it, which was out of the question, as the Golden Secret Realm was tremendously valuable, comparable to ten Kings.

A fused Gate of the Demon Prison would continually flood the Golden Secret Realm with Demonic Qi. Once the Demonic Qi reached a certain level, it would construct a second Gate of the Demon Prison. Destroying the second gate would not affect the already-fused first gate in any way.

Moreover, the second Gate of the Demon Prison must be destroyed promptly; otherwise, it would fuse with the Golden Secret Realm, doubling the inflow of Demonic Qi.

Besides constructing Gates of the Demon Prison, Demonic Qi also has the power to spawn Demon Prison Beasts.

With gold everywhere in the Golden Secret Realm, Demonic Qi infusing the gold would spawn Golden Magical Beasts.

Under the Golden King's watchful eyes, a Golden Magical Beast was spawned, which the Golden King promptly crushed. After its death, the Golden Magical Beast left behind a piece of magic-contaminated gold.

The Golden King felt a headache; the magic-contaminated gold had to be handled properly, as neglect would lead it to transform back into a Golden Magical Beast.

"Take this piece of magic-contaminated gold out of the realm, reduce the Demonic Qi within the realm, and ensure that the Demonic Qi does not affect the Purple Gold Vein within the realm."
