Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist Chapter 1156 - 387: Great Annihilation! Splitting Heaven and Earth! (Grand Finale)_8

“Has the Heavenly Demon God… been defeated?”

Every Martial Saint present understood the gravity of the situation. There could only be one explanation for the sudden calm: the source of all catastrophe, the Heavenly Demon God, had been eliminated!

“Su Changkong did it… it must be him! No one else could have performed such a miracle!”

Whether it was the Ancient Saints like Hua Shan or individuals like Ji Xuexiao, all those regaining their composure immediately thought of the one person capable of such a feat.

Su Changkong was a peerless genius without equal in the annals of history. Despite not even reaching the age of a hundred, he had repeatedly manifested miracles, turned the tide of the war between humanity and the Demon Monster Clan, and possessed the power to slaughter an Ancient Demon Saint.

Throughout the past five years, Su Changkong had dedicated himself to resolving the threat of the Heavenly Demon God, and he had finally achieved victory!

...

“This Heavenly Demon God plundered a massive portion of the Heavenly Dao’s essence. I shall return this power to the world to mend the scars of this disaster.”

Standing at the site of the battle, Su Changkong observed the vast quantities of Heavenly Dao power dispersing from the slain Heavenly Demon God. This was the energy the demon had stolen and consumed over countless eons.

While Su Changkong could have absorbed these energies to bolster his own Soul Realm, he chose a different path.

The world had been ravaged and torn apart, left in a state of near-irreparable ruin. Su Changkong resolved to release these powers back into the Heavenly Dao, healing the fractured sky and the broken earth.

Phew!

The lingering will of the Heavenly Demon God was utterly extinguished by Su Changkong. A torrential amount of Heavenly Dao power was liberated from his Soul Realm, flowing back into the world.

Although the great calamity had claimed countless lives and left the realm severely wounded, the elimination of the Heavenly Demon God and the restoration of the Heavenly Dao signaled a turning point. It was certain that in the coming years, a new golden age—one more magnificent than any before—would dawn upon this land.

“My ability to achieve a Primordial Soul Transformation, reset the heavens and earth, and forge a Soul Realm was only possible because of this realm’s assistance.”

Su Changkong was well aware that while his success stemmed from his own genius and tireless Cultivation, the invisible support of the Heavenly Dao’s spirit had been vital.

When the Heavenly Demon God first invaded, the Heavenly Dao’s influence allowed the first Ancient Overlord, the Divine Phoenix, to rise beyond the world's constraints.

During the subsequent era of chaos where the Demon Monster Clan ran rampant, the Nine Great Ancient Sages were brought into existence.

Now, as the Heavenly Demon God attempted to trigger a final destruction for his own rebirth from Nirvana, Su Changkong had been guided by the unseen hand of the Heavenly Dao to reach an unprecedented level of power and end the suffering.

Of course, such an outcome was a matter of destiny and coincidence, not a guaranteed certainty!

Time flowed on, and twenty years passed in a flash. This year, Su Changkong reached his hundredth birthday.

Two decades may be brief in the grand scheme of things, but for common folk, it is a long duration—enough for a newborn to reach full adulthood.

Within the Red Medicine Valley, Su Changkong sat with Hua Shan and the others. Ji Xuexiao was present as well. The group sipped tea brewed by Hua Shan’s own hands and ate Spirit Fruit he had cultivated, enjoying a rare moment of peace and relaxation.

The chaos had vanished. Over the last twenty years, the world had transitioned back into an era of tranquility. The Spiritual Energy in the air grew denser, and the Heavenly Dao became increasingly complete. A new golden age was fast approaching.

During the gathering, Su Changkong remarked, “The time for me to depart from this realm is coming soon. The Heavenly Dao is truly unsympathetic… Now that the threat is gone, it constantly pushes me away, urging my departure!”

Su Changkong felt a sense of irony. Since the death of the Heavenly Demon God, he had felt an increasing sense of rejection from the world itself.

It was unavoidable; Su Changkong had grown beyond the limitations of this world. Much like the Heavenly Demon God who once threatened the realm’s balance, Su Changkong was now a force the Heavenly Dao naturally repelled. Anyone reaching the Fusion Realm would experience this same exclusion.

Su Changkong decided it was finally time to see what lay beyond the borders of this world.

“Changkong… I can only wish you a safe journey and fair winds.”

Hua Shan offered his blessing, though a trace of longing was visible in his eyes.

The Ancient Saints were products of an era of strife, having spent their entire lives protecting the human race. Each of them harbored a secret desire to see the vastness of the outer realms.

Regrettably, they lacked the opportunity. Because they had fused with fragments of the Heavenly Dao, the world would never permit them to leave.

They would eventually pass away in meditation, and only then would the fragments they carried return to the world to complete the cycle. This was the heavy price of their union with the Heavenly Dao.

Su Changkong smiled at their expressions. “Elders, this realm no longer has the power to restrain me. If you wish to witness the outer realms, I am capable of bringing you along.”

While Hua Shan and the others were anchored to the world by their merged fragments, Su Changkong had developed a Soul Realm within his Sea of Consciousness. This world could not hold him back. By placing his companions inside his Soul Realm, he could easily transport them past the world's boundaries.

During this period, Su Changkong also reached out to his other friends and acquaintances, offering them great benefits and the chance to join him if they wished to leave.

“That is wonderful!”

Hua Shan and the others were struck with joy. This realm was their home, but the yearning to see the world beyond was a dream they could finally realize.

“Brother Blade… you truly are beyond comprehension.”

Ji Xuexiao gazed at Su Changkong, a soft smile gracing her lips. She thought back to their past encounters; he had always been as mysterious and full of surprises as he was today.

Sipping his Spiritual Tea, Su Changkong conversed with his friends about the mysteries of the world, his heart feeling exceptionally light.

“The universe is vast, and the Dao I seek is still far from its conclusion. I will continue down this path and never stop moving!”

Su Changkong made a silent vow to himself.

From the moment he walked out of Black Iron Manor, he had transformed from a simple boy into a powerhouse who had saved the world, killed the Heavenly Demon God, and broken the chains of his realm.

Yet, this was only one chapter of Su Changkong’s long life. He would keep walking his path, relentlessly pursuing the unknown. Perhaps the journey would never end, or perhaps he would fall somewhere along the way, but he would never cease his advance.
