Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist Chapter 1153 - 387: Great Annihilation! Splitting Heaven and Earth! (Grand Finale) _5

Accomplishing such a feat was nearly impossible, particularly in a world where the Heavenly Dao remained incomplete and the corruption of the Heavenly Demon God had taken hold.

"This is a fragment of the Heavenly Dao of the Golden Path."

Gazing at the golden seed resting in his palm, Su Changkong sensed its nature before he could even fully probe it. It was sharp and relentless—the absolute quintessence of a Golden Path fragment!

The specific attributes of the Heavenly Dao fragments condensed via the power of the Heavenly Dao appeared to be influenced by the traits of the individual who triggered the Refining Sky Array.

For example, Hua Shan, who was skilled in life-oriented Great Divine Powers and healing, had refined fragments belonging to the Path of Life. Conversely, the Ancient Demon Saint, a master of slaughter and assault, had refined fragments of the Path of Destruction.

Su Changkong had refined a Heavenly Dao fragment of the Golden Path because his own Primordial Spirit possessed the Golden Attribute.

"Absorbing this Heavenly Dao fragment is essentially just gaining mastery over a portion of the Dao," Su Changkong contemplated silently while staring at the Golden Path fragment. "It is far less potent than the strength one achieves through personal Cultivation and enlightenment. Much like the Ancient Demon Saint’s Path of Destruction, it cannot compare to the power of my Yin-Yang Life-Death Pathway. Instead of that... I ought to utilize this Heavenly Dao fragment as a supplement to bolster my Primordial Spirit."

Su Changkong sensed that the act of refining a Heavenly Dao fragment was fundamentally similar to refining a Divine Seed. While it could grant a rapid surge in power, it was simultaneously harmful to one's future potential. Directly merging with it offered limited strength that paled in comparison to his Yin-Yang Life-Death Pathway. However, treating it as a resource to reinforce his existing Primordial Spirit was likely the most effective strategy.

His Primordial Spirit had reached a bottleneck where even the nourishment provided by a Yuan Soul Crystal offered no benefit. But what would happen with a Heavenly Dao fragment?

Other Ancient Saints would be absolutely speechless if they witnessed Su Changkong’s behavior. To them, obtaining a piece of the Heavenly Dao fragment was seen as the ultimate foundation for the survival of the human race.

Yet, Su Changkong was treating this priceless Heavenly Dao fragment as nothing more than a consumable item!

"Humming!"

Su Changkong commenced the refinement of the Heavenly Dao fragment using his Primordial Spirit. It vibrated with fervor, resembling a starving man who had finally laid eyes on a feast.

The golden miniature figure of his Primordial Spirit began to greedily consume and refine the Heavenly Dao fragment. This energy was vast and torrential, possessing a potency hundreds or even thousands of times greater than a Yuan Soul Crystal!

As the golden Primordial Spirit figure processed the Golden Path fragment, it expanded steadily. The golden hue of its body grew increasingly luminous and brilliant, while its stature began to swell perceptibly.

"Is my lifespan... actually increasing?"

Su Changkong realized that his longevity was extending as he refined the Heavenly Dao fragment with his Primordial Spirit!

6,100 years, 6,200 years...

"Lifespan is tied to both the physical body and the Primordial Spirit. The expansion of my physical longevity was actually being suppressed by a Primordial Spirit that wasn't sufficiently robust. Now that my Primordial Spirit is growing more powerful, my physical lifespan is naturally shattering its previous limits..."

Su Changkong grasped the fundamental principle; to achieve greater longevity, the body and the Primordial Spirit had to be enhanced in tandem!

A year passed, and Su Changkong successfully finished refining the Golden Path fragment. His Primordial Spirit had become more than twice as powerful as it was before!

"It is still insufficient... I must continue to refine the strength of the Heavenly Dao!"

Su Changkong remained unsatisfied. He reactivated the Refining Sky Array, continuing to draw power directly from the Heavenly Dao.

With the onset of the great apocalypse, the world was ravaged by a constant stream of natural disasters in just one year. Floods, torrential rains, locust swarms, droughts, and earthquakes turned the world into a literal hell on earth.

Su Changkong remained indifferent to these events. He was focused entirely on maximizing his own strength and reaching his absolute limits to seize that lone, narrow chance of survival!

Aided by the active cooperation of the Heavenly Dao under the influence of the Refining Sky Array, Su Changkong extracted and condensed a second Heavenly Dao fragment.

This was a pale green shard vibrating with the energy of vibrant life—a fragment of the Wooden Path!

Su Changkong had practiced the Five Animal Frolics, Guiding Techniques, and various other Health-preserving Skills. Since wood symbolizes life, the Wooden Path was perfectly suited for his needs!

Su Changkong moved on to refine this second Heavenly Dao fragment with his Primordial Spirit.

The task grew difficult. Su Changkong’s Primordial Spirit was originally of the pure Golden Attribute, but by integrating the Wooden Path, it expanded further while also causing his Primordial Spirit’s energy to become unbalanced and mottled.

Continuing down this path risked the collapse of his Primordial Spirit, yet he ignored the danger and persisted in draining the Heavenly Dao's power.

Under the influence of the Refining Sky Array, the energy pulled from the Heavenly Dao solidified into a third fragment. This one was a fiery red, radiating intense heat—the Fragment of the Fire Path!

Su Changkong refined this third Heavenly Dao fragment into his Primordial Spirit. This triggered yet another transformation in the essence of his Primordial Spirit, making it even more unstable, though it was now significantly stronger than ever before. He felt confident that his Primordial Spirit alone could now strike down a top-tier expert like the Ancient Demon Saint!

"I have not reached the limit. Continue!"

Su Changkong’s face remained stoic. He paid no mind to his Primordial Spirit, which appeared to be on the brink of shattering, and continued his refinement of the Heavenly Dao's power.

The fourth Heavenly Dao fragment belonged to the Water Path. It was a gentle, light blue shard, perfectly matching the Turtle Breath Technique and Giant Whale Skill he had mastered, both of which carried water attributes!

As Su Changkong refined the fourth Heavenly Dao fragment, the various conflicting powers within his Primordial Spirit began to clash and assault one another, causing visible cracks to appear on its surface.

"Continue!!"

A glimmer of excitement shone in Su Changkong’s eyes. He could sense that he was drawing closer and closer to that ultimate threshold!
