Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist Chapter 1151 - 387: Great Annihilation! Splitting Heaven and Earth! (Grand Finale) _3

The Heavenly Demon God held all the cards!

His grand design involved triggering repeated, massive upheavals to purge all life from the world. By doing so, he intended to harvest energy to fortify his own path and eventually reconstruct a physical body for himself.

Initially, it was the True Beasts who were sacrificed; next came the human race. By eradicating humanity, other burgeoning races would naturally rise to dominate the world. Once these new races flourished to a certain point, he would once again instigate a great turmoil, reaping them like ripe crops.

This cycle was meant to continue until the day his physical form was fully re-cultivated!

However, the situation had shifted—the previous upheaval ended in failure, and the current one had met the same fate. This suggested that any future attempts at upheaval would likely fail as well. Furthermore, during such a delay, new Transcendent beings might rise and escape his authority.

Driven to total madness, the Heavenly Demon God now sought to perish alongside the Heavenly Dao, intending to shatter the heavens and wipe out the earth entirely!

While this path mostly pointed toward mutual destruction, a tiny sliver of hope remained for him to be reborn from the ashes of annihilation. For him, it was a desperate and solitary path to survival!

"It makes sense now... why the First Saint would betray humanity and assist the Heavenly Demon God in the slaughter of his own people..."

Su Changkong finally grasped the reasoning behind the First Saint’s treacherous decision.

The Heavenly Demon God possessed the power to initiate the destruction of heaven and earth. Had he succeeded in his original plan, only the human race would have been wiped out, allowing new life and new races to eventually inhabit the world. As long as the realm itself remained intact, hope for the future persisted.

But if the Heavenly Demon God faced defeat, his insanity would drive him to ensure everyone went down with him. Even if the odds of his own rebirth in such a catastrophe were nearly non-existent, he preferred that chance over losing—or at the very least, he would drag the entire world into the abyss with him!

Because of this, even though the First Saint possessed the strength to quell the upheaval, he chose instead to help the Heavenly Demon God harvest the human race. It was a choice forced by horrific circumstances.

Now that the First Saint and the Ancient Demon Saint had both perished, the Demon Monster faction had no hope of winning the war. Consequently, the worst-case scenario was unfolding—the Heavenly Demon God had commenced a great annihilation to destroy the entire realm!

"What... what can we do?"

Hua Shan whispered to himself, his voice trembling.

They could fight back against human enemies or physical calamities, but they were utterly helpless against a grand annihilation stemming from the Heavenly Dao itself.

Ji Xuexiao spoke with a heavy tone, "The world is shattering completely... it will become a silent land of death. Our only option is to save ourselves and flee this realm... However, without reaching the Transcendent realm, surviving in the void of other realms is nearly impossible. Regardless... I wish us all luck."

As the reincarnation of the Divine Phoenix, Ji Xuexiao’s original nature as an Ancient Overlord should have led her to watch the humans perish with indifference, or perhaps even accelerate the process to delay the final annihilation. She could have simply focused on her Cultivation to reach her peak and leave this world behind.

Yet, having lived as a human, her experiences led her to intervene. The direct result of her choice was this anticipated disaster.

A heavy silence fell over the group. The world was being stripped of life; there was no spiritual energy in nature and no fertile soil for growth. Even for powerful Martial Saints, this was a dead end. This realm would never see new life again—it was the end of everything!

"If that day truly arrives, it is likely the destiny of this world. At the very least, we fought back," Zhan Wushuang muttered.

They had emerged victorious in battle, yet the result was far from a triumph. Their victory had triggered the Heavenly Demon God’s final strike—a state of total despair!

The fleeting joy of their win was drowned out by the coming darkness.

"Is this truly how it ends?"

Su Changkong’s features were etched with a complex mix of emotions.

The Heavenly Demon God had lost his mind, choosing mutual destruction to ensure the world was buried alongside him. He sought a spark of rebirth within the ruins, but whether or not he achieved Nirvana, the doom of the world was sealed!

Could they stop the Heavenly Demon God?

He had already fused with the Heavenly Dao; he was a fundamental part of the realm's essence. Forget their current strength—even the Ancient Overlord Divine Phoenix, who had once reached the Fusion Realm and transcended this world, would be powerless here.

After the battlefield was cleared, the group separated to recover. While some desperately discussed potential solutions, their efforts felt like nothing more than a futile struggle against the inevitable.

Su Changkong felt a sense of aimless loss as he drifted through the clouds, gazing down at the crumbling world below.

"Boom! Boom!"

Thunder crashed and violent rain poured incessantly. Earthquakes shook the foundations of the world, causing entire cities to collapse. Countless civilians were buried under the wreckage, while others tumbled into the massive fissures opening in the earth. Their screams of terror echoed through the air.

As the Heavenly Demon God initiated the great annihilation, the realm marched toward its end. Disasters that usually occurred once in a century were now daily events. Violent storms collided with scorching heat as the world turned upside down and the Five Elements fell into chaos.

It was a vision of the apocalypse.

"Ah..."

His hair now white, Hua Shan wandered through the devastation, doing what he could to aid the victims. However, his frequent sighs made him look even more aged. The realm was dying; every action felt meaningless.

Once the realm was extinguished, everything within it would vanish. Perhaps the strongest warriors could endure a while longer, but without a foundation to stand on, they too would eventually succumb to the void!

Witnessing so many tragedies on his journey, Su Changkong felt a deep sense of frustration and bitterness. They had sacrificed everything, yet it still wasn't enough to change their fate.
