The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

The Bone Dragon traveled through the crimson sea of ​​stars, the surrounding temperature rising higher and higher, the air thick with the scorching, pungent smell of sulfur.

A massive vortex-shaped fire cloud appeared in the starry sky ahead, with a diameter of over a thousand miles. At its center was a bottomless black hole, from which countless crimson-gold flames spewed forth, forming a spectacular fountain of fire.

"That's the Fire Eye, the birthplace of the Chaos Fire Essence." Han Li stared at the detection array. "My lord, the temperature inside the Fire Eye is extremely high, and the Bone Dragon can't go deep inside. We need to send someone in to collect it."

"I'll go." Han Mu stood up. "You guys stay here and keep watch. Those three pursuers should be here soon."

"My lord, be careful. Besides the Chaos Fire Essence, there is a high possibility that a fire-type ferocious beast is being bred inside the Fire Eye," Zhou Meng warned.

Han Mu nodded, flew out of the Bone Dragon, and his figure transformed into a stream of light as he rushed towards the Fire Eye.

As soon as he approached the edge of the fiery eye, a terrifyingly high temperature instantly struck, even the protective immortal light emitted a sizzling sound. With a thought, Han Mu summoned the core of the Molten Heart in his palm, emitting a faint crimson-gold light, and the surrounding temperature immediately dropped significantly.

"it works."

Han Mu accelerated and rushed into the fire eye.

Inside the Fire Eye is a huge funnel-shaped space with burning crystals on all four sides and a churning lake of lava at the bottom. In the center of the lake float dozens of fist-sized crimson-gold crystals, which are the Chaos Fire Essence.

But Han Mu's gaze immediately fell on the edge of the lava lake, where three enormous creatures were lying.

It was a three-headed fire beast resembling a giant lizard, covered in crimson-gold scales. It was over a hundred feet long and had a fierce aura. All of them had reached the late stage of the Taiyi Jade Immortal level, and the aura of the middle one, which had a single horn on its head, was close to the peak.

"The Chaos Fire Lizard, as expected, has a guardian beast." Han Mu was not surprised; it was normal for such rare and precious materials to be guarded by ferocious beasts.

The three-headed fire lizard sensed the intruder and opened its eyes, its six crimson-gold vertical pupils locking onto Han Mu, letting out a low roar.

The one-horned fire lizard in the middle launched the first attack, opening its mouth to spew out a pillar of crimson-gold fire, which distorted the space in its path.

Han Mu neither dodged nor evaded. He raised his right hand, and the power of origin condensed in his palm, transforming into a gray-white light shield.

boom.

The pillar of fire struck the light shield, unleashing a blinding light. The light shield remained unmoved, but the pillar of fire was bounced back and struck the fire lizard, scorching its scales black and causing it to roar in pain.

The other two fire lizards seized the opportunity to pounce from both sides, their sharp claws tearing at Han Mu.

"Time, slow down."

Han Mu gave a soft shout, and the flow of time around him suddenly slowed down, causing the two fire lizards to move as slowly as snails.

Han Mu flashed to the left and appeared above the fire lizard's head, then slammed his fist down.

The power of origin erupted, the fire lizard's head exploded, and its massive body crashed to the ground.

The fire lizard on the right finally broke free from the time sluggishness, but it was too late. Han Mu appeared beside its neck and chopped it off with a hand chop. The crimson-gold scales were sliced ​​open like paper, and the fire lizard's head rolled into the lava lake.

Upon seeing this, the unicorn fire lizard's eyes flashed with fear, and it turned to flee.

"Certainly."

With a flick of Han Mu's finger, the laws of time descended, and the unicorn fire lizard froze in mid-air.

Han Mu walked up to it, placed his right hand on its horn, and the power of origin surged in, instantly shattering its soul.

The three Chaos Fire Lizards, all at the late stage of the Taiyi Jade Immortal realm, were all killed in less than ten breaths.

Han Mu waved his hand and put away the three fire lizard corpses. These things are treasures from head to toe. Their scales can be used to make armor, their horns can be used to make weapons, and their flesh contains a rich fire element. They are useful to Luo Feng and Liu Ruyan.

Then Han Mu flew to the center of the lava lake and collected all the dozens of Chaos Fire Essences. They were all of high quality and more than enough to refine the Fire Avoidance Token.

Han Mu brought up the system panel and quickly scanned it.

[Celestial Aura: -4400 points]

[System Notification: Obtained 28 Chaos Fire Essences, 3 Chaos Fire Lizard Corpses, and all materials needed to craft the Fire Avoidance Token]

Han Mu put away the panel and prepared to leave.

Just then, a violent energy fluctuation came from outside the Fire Eye, accompanied by Han Li's telepathic message.

"My lord, the three pursuers have arrived and are attacking the Bone Dragon. Zhou Meng and the others have temporarily held them off, but the opponents are very strong, all of them are late-stage Taiyi Jade Immortals."

Han Mu's eyes turned cold, and his figure transformed into a streak of light as he rushed out of the Fiery Eye.

Outside the Fiery Eye, the Bone Dragon was being besieged by three gray-robed figures. Zhou Meng, Luo Feng, Liu Ruyan, and Bai Ling formed a defensive formation, but they were clearly at a disadvantage.

Han Li used the Bone Dragon Formation to assist him, barely managing to hold on.

The three gray-robed figures worked in perfect harmony. One used time slowing to disrupt the enemy, another unleashed a corrosive attack of time power, and the third wielded a time chain to continuously strike the Bone Dragon's protective shield.

"The enforcement team of the Reverse Time Alliance." Zhou Meng gritted his teeth, activating the Time Guardian Mark at full power to resist the interference of time.

"Fatty, I can't take it anymore! These guys' time-manipulation power is disgusting. It feels like my lifespan is being drained when it hits me," Luo Feng cried out, several wounds now on his body.

Han Mu appeared in the center of the battlefield, his voice icy cold.

"You're asking for it."

The three figures in gray robes stopped simultaneously and looked at Han Mu. The leader spoke in a hoarse voice.

"It really was you. You killed Eclipse and stole the core of Molten Core. Kid, hand over the core and the fragment of the Key of Time that you have, and we might leave you with a whole corpse."

Han Mu smiled.

"You three are just a bunch of good-for-nothings."

"Arrogant!" the gray-robed leader roared. "Form the formation, Time Trilogy!"

The three of them simultaneously formed hand seals, and the hazy power of time intertwined to form a huge triangular array that enveloped Han Mu.

The flow of time within the formation was chaotic, with light and shadow from the past, present, and future intertwining, forming countless blades of time that slashed towards it.

Han Mu stood calmly in the center of the formation.

"You guys are still too green to play with time."

"Origin, Zhen Shi".

A grayish-white light erupted from Han Mu's body, instantly shattering the triangular formation. The chaotic Blade of Time melted away like ice and snow upon touching the grayish-white light.

The three gray-robed men coughed up blood and flew backward, their eyes filled with horror.

"Impossible, this is... the power of origin, you could be...?"

Before he finished speaking, Han Mu moved.

"Time, sever."

Three invisible blades of time swept past, freezing the three gray-robed men in place. Then, a line of blood appeared between their brows, spreading rapidly until they were split in two, their souls and spirits annihilated.

Han Mu waved his hand to collect the three people's storage rings and looked at the Bone Dragon.

"Clean up the battlefield and leave as soon as possible; the commotion here might attract more enemies."

"Yes."

Zhou Meng and his team acted quickly to clean up the traces.

Han Mu gazed at the distant starry sky, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The Anti-Time Alliance reacted faster than expected; it seems the journey to the Eternal Forge must be accelerated.
