The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

As soon as Han Mu, Han Li, and Zhou Meng rushed out of the core area of ​​the "Eye of Guixu", the huge gray vortex behind them suddenly trembled and emitted a deep, furious hum! The spacetime turbulence around the entire Guixu instantly became more than ten times more violent, and countless thick spacetime rifts appeared out of thin air, spreading like a spider web. The terrifying suction force and the aura of the end swept over like a tsunami.

"Not good! The wrath of the 'Time Lord' has been ignited! The entire 'Eye of Return to the Void' is responding to his will!" Han Li's expression changed drastically. He was proficient in the Dao of Time and Space and was most sensitive to such changes.

"Hurry! To 'Bone Slope'!" Han Mu said in a deep voice, struggling to maintain his body, which had just broken through and whose power was not yet fully stable. He once again opened the force field of the "Source Coffin Mark" to protect the three of them, and rushed towards the designated rendezvous point against the raging spacetime storm.

The outer perimeter of the Ruins of Return was now a scene of utter devastation. The once relatively stable spacetime nodes had collapsed one after another, and meteorites and fragments of ruins torn apart by the violent turbulent currents were everywhere. Even some bizarre creatures lurking deep within the Ruins of Return, surviving on the aura of the end times, were startled by this upheaval, emitting chilling roars.

"Senior Han, ahead!" Zhou Meng suddenly pointed to the side and ahead, where there was a relatively "peaceful" broken continent, the very location of "Bone Slope." But at this moment, dozens of gray figures exuding a chilling killing intent were floating around the outer edge of that continent, subtly surrounding it! Judging from their attire, they were cultivators from the "Reverse Time Alliance," and their numbers were even greater than those led by Deacons "Xuan" and "Huang" earlier. Among them, nearly ten possessed the aura of Golden Immortals, and the two leaders were even at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm! Clearly, the moment "Time Venerable" was destroyed, with his avatar annihilated and the central core of the great formation destroyed, he had somehow issued a kill order to all "Reverse Time Alliance" forces outside the Ruins of Return!

On the continent of "Dry Bone Slope", Liu Ruyan, Luo Feng and others are struggling to hold on, relying on the concealment formation left by Han Li. The formation's light barrier is already on the verge of collapse.

"The lord and the others haven't returned yet... These sons of bitches came too fast!" Luo Feng cursed as another wound appeared on his chest, but he still swung his battle axe fiercely.

"Conserve your energy and hold the formation!" Liu Ruyan's face was pale, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were firm. She believed that Han Mu would definitely come back.

"Brother Han, it's the 'Earth' team and the 'Human' team from the 'Reverse Time Alliance.' The leaders, 'Earth King' and 'Human Butcher,' are both veteran peak Golden Immortals, ruthless and vicious, and are the direct henchmen of 'Time Venerable.'" Han Li quickly transmitted his voice, his tone solemn. "They intend to wipe them out completely, leaving no survivors."

Han Mu's gaze swept across the battlefield, his eyes flashing with a cold light. Liu Ruyan and the others were in dire straits, while his side had just endured a fierce battle and was severely depleted. But at this moment, there was no turning back.

"Zhou Meng, you and Fellow Daoist Han Li, go around to the flank and find an opportunity to ambush the True Immortals on the outer perimeter, relieving the pressure on Liu Ruyan and the others and drawing some attention away from them," Han Mu quickly instructed. "I'll go and meet those two peak Golden Immortals."

"Brother Han, you've just broken through and haven't fully recovered. The two opponents..." Han Li said with some concern.

"It's alright." Han Mu's lips curled into a cold smile. "Perfect, let's test the power of a peak Golden Immortal and this upgraded 'Source Coffin Mark'."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of gray light, ignoring the raging spatial turbulence, and instantly appeared above "Bone Slope," blocking the way for the two peak Golden Immortals in gray robes—"Earth Demon" and "Human Butcher."

"Earthly Demon" was a burly, bald man with a towering, iron-like physique and dark gray skin, resembling rock. "Human Butcher" was a gaunt, bamboo-like old man with sunken eyes, carrying a dripping bone knife. When the two saw Han Mu suddenly appear, especially sensing the undisguised aura of a peak Golden Immortal emanating from him and the chilling "Source Coffin Mark" between his brows, their pupils constricted slightly.

"It was you! You destroyed the great formation and killed the 'Xuan' and 'Huang' insects!" "Di Kui's" voice was like muffled thunder, his eyes blazing with killing intent.

"Hand over the mark of the source coffin, commit suicide to atone for your sins, and you may be spared your whole corpse." The "human butcher's" voice was shrill, and the bone knife was pointed at Han Mu, the tip of the knife emitting a gray light.

Han Mu didn't waste any words. He didn't even take out any magical treasures. He simply raised his right hand and clenched his fist. With this simple movement, the turbulent spatial currents around him seemed to quiet down for a moment, and an indescribable fist intent, seemingly capable of suppressing countless ages, began to condense.

"Playing tricks! Die!" "Earth Demon" roared, exchanging a glance with "Human Butcher" before attacking simultaneously! "Earth Demon" unleashed a punch, the force of which condensed into a gray mountain phantom that pressed down! "Human Butcher" slashed with his bone knife, countless pale white blade beams seemingly emanating from the depths of hell, carrying a deathly aura that reaped lives, enveloping Han Mu's body.

Faced with the full force of two equally powerful opponents, Han Mu simply threw out a nonchalant punch.

"Zhenyuan".

boom!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a grayish-white fist light that seemed to bring all things back to their origin, spreading out from Han Mu's fist. The gray mountain phantoms that pressed down crumbled like sand dunes upon touching the fist light; the countless pale white blade lights melted away instantly, like mist under the sunlight.

The fist's momentum didn't diminish, instantly slamming into the hastily erected defenses of "Earthly Demon" and "Human Butcher".

"Pfft!" "Pfft!"

The two were struck as if by lightning; their protective immortal light shattered like paper, and their natal magic weapons wailed and flew back. "Earth Demon"'s rock-like chest caved in, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood; "Human Butcher" even had his knife-wielding arm explode into a bloody mist, and he flew back with a scream.

One punch severely injured two peak Golden Immortals of the same level!

The "Reverse Time Alliance" cultivators below, who were besieging "Bone Slope," were all stunned, and their offensive stalled.

"This...how is this possible?!" The Earth Demon's eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.

"The Origin... the true power of the Origin..." "The Butcher" was even more ashen-faced.

Han Mu's figure blurred, appearing above the flying "Human Butcher" and stomping down. "Crack!" The "Human Butcher's" head shattered like a watermelon. Its primordial spirit had just escaped when Han Mu casually swept it with a gray light, completely annihilating it.

Sold out instantly!

The "Earthly Demon" was terrified and turned to flee.

"Can you leave?" Han Mu's voice was icy as he made a grabbing motion in the air. "Time and space... imprisonment!"

The space around "Earthly Demon" instantly froze; he was like an insect trapped in amber, unable to move. Han Mu pointed his fingers like a sword, and a gray-white sword light pierced through space, striking between his brows. Another peak Golden Immortal had fallen!

In less than three breaths, Han Mu easily killed two notorious Golden Immortal peak deacons of the "Reverse Time Alliance" with a single punch, kick, and finger, using thunderous methods! The remaining "Reverse Time Alliance" cultivators completely collapsed, let out a shout, and scattered in all directions.

"My lord!" Liu Ruyan and the others were both surprised and delighted.

"Senior Han, you're too... too amazing!" Luo Feng opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg.

Han Mu landed, his breathing slightly disordered; the continuous bursts of power had taken a toll on him. He waved his hand to collect the storage treasures of "Earthly Fiend" and "Human Butcher," and quickly said, "This place is not safe to stay any longer. 'Time Venerable's' wrath will only grow stronger. Fellow Daoist Han Li, Zhou Meng, clear out the remaining enemies, collect the spoils, and leave immediately after an incense stick's time!"

"yes!"

Everyone immediately sprang into action. Han Mu stepped aside, quickly summoned the system panel, and checked the status and gains.

Name: Han Mu

[True Realm: Peak Golden Immortal (Stabilizing)]

[Time Rule: 60% of the Beginner Level]

[Status: Minor injuries, 40% power depleted. "Source Coffin Mark" active.]

[Celestial Aura: -9000 points]

[System Notification: Defeat 2 peak Golden Immortals and obtain the "Time Lord's" Wrath Mark (Strong). Obtain the "Earth Demon Seal" and "Human Butcher Bone Knife" (peak Golden Immortal level magic weapons, require purification). Important intelligence fragments were obtained from the remnant soul of the "Earth Demon": The coordinates of the "Reverse Time Alliance's" lair in the "Space-Time Rift" vaguely point to the depths of the "Eternal Night Galaxy"; the "Time Lord" seems to be preparing a trans-temporal "sacrifice," requiring a massive amount of Time Essence and lifespan of living beings, with the target suspected to be connected to the "Source of Time."]

An eternal night of stars? A sacrifice? The source of time? Han Mu frowned. The ambitions of this "Time Lord" were indeed astonishing.

Just as he was processing the information, Han Li's urgent voice suddenly came from the communication jade slip in his arms: "Brother Han! Quickly look at the 'Eye of Return to the Void'!"

Han Mu suddenly looked up and saw that in the center of the huge gray vortex in the distance, deep within the unfathomable "pupil," a dazzling dark golden light was slowly illuminating as it approached! A vast pressure, a hundred times more terrifying than his previous transformation, seemingly capable of dominating the flow of time in all the heavens and myriad worlds, slowly spread out like an awakened primordial beast, locking onto the direction of "Bone Slope"!

The true form of "Time Lord"... is about to descend in person?! Or at least, a terrifying projection containing even greater power!
