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

The Heavenly Demon God was the one holding the initiative!

According to the plans of the Heavenly Demon God, he wanted to initiate massive upheavals repeatedly, annihilating and sweeping away all living beings in the world time and again to gather energy, strengthen his own path, and re-cultivate a physical body.

The first time it was the True Beasts, the second time it was the human race, and by wiping out the human race, naturally, other rising races would become the dominators of this world. When such a race proliferates to a certain extent, he would again set off a huge turmoil, just like reaping crops.

Until the day he re-cultivated a physical body!

But now things were different—the last upheaval had failed, and this time the upheaval had failed as well, which meant that his next attempt to cause upheaval would most likely fail too, and during this period, new Transcendent beings might emerge, surpassing his control.

So the Heavenly Demon God went completely mad, wanting to perish together with the Heavenly Dao, to destroy the heavens and obliterate the earth!

This most likely meant mutual destruction, but there was still a chance, albeit slim, of being reborn from annihilation, a necessary and sole path to survival!

"No wonder... the First Saint would choose to betray the human race and help the Heavenly Demon God massacre his own kind..."

Su Changkong also roughly understood why the First Saint had made such a choice.

Because the Heavenly Demon God held the initiative to destroy heaven and obliterate the earth—if he won, he would only exterminate the human race, and new living beings, new races would eventually emerge in this world, as long as this realm was not destroyed, there was still hope for the future.

But if the Heavenly Demon God lost, he would ensure mutual destruction in his madness, and even if the chances of the Heavenly Demon God being reborn in such dire circumstances were extremely slim, there at least was a chance, at the very least of dragging this entire world down with him!

Hence, even though the First Saint had the power to suppress the upheaval, he instead chose to help the Heavenly Demon God achieve his goals of extinction and harvesting of the human race, a forced choice as well.

Now that both the First Saint and Ancient Demon Saint had fallen, the Demon Monster faction stood no chance of winning this great war, the worst-case scenario had occurred—the Heavenly Demon God initiated a great annihilation, intending to destroy this realm!

"What should... we do?"

Hua Shan murmured to himself.

Facing human calamities, they still had the capability to resist and fight back, but facing this great annihilation originating from the Heavenly Dao itself, they were powerless.

Ji Xuexiao said solemnly, "The world completely shattered... becoming a true land of deathly silence, all we can do is save our own lives and leave this realm... But without reaching the Transcendent realm, surviving in other realms is unlikely, anyway... good luck to us all."

Ji Xuexiao, being the reincarnation of the Divine Phoenix and according to the original character of the Ancient Overlord Divine Phoenix, the correct action would have been to sit by and watch the human race be completely annihilated, or even add fuel to the fire to push for a delayed occurrence of the great annihilation. She would just need to calmly cultivate, regain her peak and eventually leave this realm.

But Ji Xuexiao herself was of the human race, and with her own life and experiences, she chose to intervene, and the direct consequence was the anticipated worst-case scenario.

Everyone fell silent, the world completely void of life, with no spiritual energy from nature, no soil to nourish plants, even for them Martial Saints, it was a dead end, and this realm would no longer see new life or new races—it was total annihilation!

"If... that day comes, it's probably the fate of this world, and we've already tried to resist," Zhan Wushuang murmured.

They had won this battle, but the outcome was far from perfect, and it even triggered the Heavenly Demon God to initiate the great annihilation—a complete despair!

The joy of victory was completely diluted.

"Is it really over?"

Su Changkong's face depicted a complex expression.

The Heavenly Demon God had gone completely mad, intent on mutual destruction, pulling this world along to be buried with him in annihilation, seeking a chance of rebirth amid destruction, and regardless of whether he could achieve Nirvana and be reborn, the fate of this world would remain unchanged!

As for dealing with the Heavenly Demon God?

The Heavenly Demon God had merged with the Heavenly Dao; he was part of this realm's Heavenly Dao. Forget them, even the once Ancient Overlord Divine Phoenix, who had reached the Fusion Realm transcending this realm, was helpless in this situation.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the group temporarily dispersed to rest, while others constantly discussed and sought a solution, but it was merely futile struggle.

Su Changkong also felt somewhat lost as he roamed through the clouds, looking down at the land below.

"Boom, boom!"

Thunder and relentless rain continued, accompanied by earth-shaking tremors, whole sections of buildings collapsing, with many civilians trapped under debris, some falling into the crevasses that had torn open the land, their desperate cries filling the air.

With the Heavenly Demon God initiating the great annihilation, this realm was heading towards the end of life. What used to be natural disasters seldom seen over decades or centuries were now as common as daily meals, with fierce storms accompanied by blazing sunshine, the world turned upside down, the Five Elements in disarray.

This was a scene reminiscent of doomsday.

"Ah..."

With white hair, Hua Shan walked in this world, doing his best to help those in disaster, but his sighs were continuous, revealing more of his aged appearance. The realm was about to be destroyed; anything anyone did was in vain.

When the realm was destroyed, everything in this realm would be extinguished, perhaps top-tier warriors could survive a little longer, but they too, without foundation, would eventually meet the same fate of destruction!

Su Changkong saw too many tragic scenes along the way, and in his heart, there was also a sense of frustration and unwillingness. They had given their all, yet it was still not enough to change the outcome.
