Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

"They know each other?"

Hua Shan, Zhan Wushuang, and the others completely breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Su Changkong knew Ji Xuexiao who seemed like a 'Divine Phoenix', which naturally was a great thing, as she was on their side!

"Miss Ji... thank you very much."

Su Changkong's gratitude was also conveyed in this brief statement. If it were not for Ji Xuexiao's help today, the situation would have been utterly different; he might not have been able to endure until mastering the Yin-Yang Life-Death Pathway.

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Xuexiao shook her head slightly; she was indeed a reincarnation of the Divine Phoenix, but now she was completely a human being.

Of course, part of the reason was because she felt the aura of Su Changkong gradually fading, which prompted her to leave her seclusion. This was taking a significant risk. She wasn't really a Divine Phoenix, nor had her strength reached the transcendent level of the Divine Phoenix who was unbound by heaven and earth, and facing the First Saint in battle was actually not a sure thing.

And even if she won... she could not change the overall situation.

As everyone was discussing, suddenly everyone's faces changed slightly.

It was noon when the Demon Monster armies fled, the sun had returned to the sky, and the sunlight was brilliant, but suddenly, the sun disappeared, and thick dark clouds covered the earth!

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, while torrents of rain tinged with traces of blood poured down.

One moment it was sunny, but in the blink of an eye, it turned to a storm of blood rain and thunderbolts, filling everyone with an overwhelming sense of panic that made them uncontrollably shiver!

"What... what is going on?"

Zhan Wushuang looked up at the blood-red rain, as if it was tearing the dark thunderclouds asunder. He trembled slightly, confused and clueless.

He was Fighting Saint Zhan Wushuang; even in the face of death, he would not tremble, but at this moment, he couldn't help but shiver, feeling an inexplicable terror.

Not just him, Su Changkong felt the same, every cell in his body trembling as if the sky were falling, spreading fear!

Ji Xuexiao looked up at the sky, her face showing a hint of helplessness and gravity: "The Heavenly Demon God... has completely lost patience. He is initiating a great destruction, intending to completely annihilate this world."

"The Heavenly Demon God wants to completely destroy this world? What in the world is going on?"

Hua Shan couldn't help but ask urgently; although they, the Nine Great Ancient Sages, had fought great battles against the Demon Monster Clan and even suppressed the Heavenly Demons, they knew little about this mysteriously powerful being behind the scenes, not knowing what kind of being he was or what he intended to do.

And Ji Xuexiao, being the reincarnation of the Ancient Overlord Divine Phoenix, must know something.

Ji Xuexiao looked up at the sky and shared what she knew: "The Heavenly Demon God, he is an outsider, an invader, forcibly breaking open this world to descend upon it, while the Divine Phoenix... was born at the dawn of this world, protected by the Heavenly Dao, and meant to emerge in response, her birth meant to oppose the Heavenly Demon God."

"The great battle between the Divine Phoenix and the Heavenly Demon God ended in mutual destruction. Both the Heavenly Demon God and the Divine Phoenix perished, but neither disappeared completely. The Divine Phoenix's Primordial Spirit lodged within the world, undergoing reincarnation, while the Heavenly Demon God merged with the world itself, becoming part of the Heavenly Dao."

Ji Xuexiao conveyed the ancient secrets that no one could completely understand.

The Divine Phoenix was the only being in this world who achieved a transcendent realm, free from the constraints of heaven and earth, and was cherished by the Heavenly Dao specifically to combat the forcefully descending invader, the Heavenly Demon God.

Both fell in a great battle, one reincarnated, becoming the present Ji Xuexiao, and the other, though his physical body was destroyed, merged his soul with the Heavenly Dao, corroding it.

"The Heavenly Demon God became part of the Heavenly Dao. He continuously devoured the Heavenly Dao, using the Demon Monsters as his avatars, instigating upheaval for the purpose of slaughtering beings in this world to collect energy to strengthen and perfect his own path, and to gestate a new physical body, undergo Nirvana metamorphosis, and completely revive as a whole being," Ji Xuexiao said.

Su Changkong felt a chill in his heart. Why were those Demon Monsters so undying? Not because they were truly immortal, but because Heavenly Demon God merged with the Heavenly Dao. Even if the Demon Monsters died, he could still reincarnate them in this world through methods similar to reincarnation, though it took considerably longer!

And the Heavenly Demon God continually destroyed and massacred, to perfect and strengthen his own path and to gestate a new body.

Now, the Heavenly Demon God could not be considered a truly living entity, lacking a physical body, he was like a parasite of the Heavenly Dao, finding it difficult to directly do much, hence needing to launch upheaval time and time again.

"The first great upheaval was very successful. The True Beast clan, bereft of the 'Divine Phoenix,' was slaughtered to near extinction, and the second upheaval failed because the Nine Great Ancient Sages were born..."

Ji Xuexiao shared everything she knew.

The Heavenly Dao had a spirit and naturally wouldn't sit passively by. As the Heavenly Demon God descended, the world gave birth to the Divine Phoenix. After the True Beast clan was annihilated, the Human race was born, and more importantly, the Nine Great Ancient Sages emerged to suppress the disorder, each one cherished by the Heavenly Dao and born in response.

"Now this third great upheaval... once again, the Demon Monster Clan has been defeated, and the Heavenly Demon God has lost his patience. He will not futilely launch a fourth upheaval but instead... intends to destroy this world in a desperate bid!"

Ji Xuexiao's face turned slightly pale.

During this third great upheaval, the Heavenly Demon God made even more thorough preparations, subverting the First Saint and the Ancient Demon Saint, but the spiritually sentient Heavenly Dao, in a mysterious way, brought back the reincarnation of the Divine Phoenix to cope.
