The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

In the chaotic sea of ​​mist, countless mirror images of Han Mu surrounded the three of them. Each mirror image exuded the same aura as Han Mu, and even their cultivation level was at the late stage of the Great Luo Loose Immortal realm.

"This is the Time Mirror, the first level of the Chaotic Mist Sea. Only by defeating all the mirror images can we pass through." Zhou Meng's expression was solemn.

"All the mirror images, how many are there?" Luo Feng counted, at least a hundred.

"One hundred and eight, corresponding to the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, each possessing the full strength of its original form, and their minds are connected. Together they can fight against a Grand Luo Golden Immortal." Han Li's voice came from the transmission talisman, revealing his anxiety.

"My lord, I have explored the outside using array formations. This mirror array is an ancient relic. There are only two ways to break it: one is to crush it with absolute power, and the other is to find the array's core."

"Absolutely overwhelming strength. If I had that kind of strength, would I need to break through the formation?" Han Mu said with a wry smile.

"Then we can only look for the array's core, but where is it?" Zhou Meng looked around, but the fog was so thick that he couldn't see where the core of the array was at all.

"The core of the formation is Your Majesty yourself," Han Li said, surprising everyone.

"Myself." Han Mu frowned.

"Yes, the core of the Time Mirror Array is the original body of the person entering the array. As long as you defeat yourself, you can break the array. But here, defeating yourself does not mean defeating the mirror image, but defeating your own heart," Han Li explained.

"Defeat your true self, what does that mean?" Luo Feng scratched his head.

"It's about overcoming your own inner demons. These images are all manifestations of your inner demons. Only by eliminating your inner demons can you break the formation," Han Li said.

Han Mu understood. No wonder these mirror images had the same aura as him; they were manifestations of his inner demons.

"My lord, be careful, the mirror image has moved," Zhou Meng warned.

One hundred and eight mirror images attacked Han Mu and his two companions simultaneously. Han Mu met the attack, and Zhou Meng and Luo Feng also joined the battle.

The mirror image's strength was comparable to Han Mu's. Han Mu could handle one against ten, but when all one hundred and eight attacked together, he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

"My lord, this is not a sustainable strategy. The mirror images can resurrect indefinitely, and we cannot outlast them." Zhou Meng was surrounded by three mirror images and was in grave danger.

"Fatty, can your nose tell which one is the true form of the inner demon?" Han Mu asked.

"I'll give it a try." Luo Feng activated his innate divine power, his nose turning golden, and sniffed around.

"My lord, all these mirror images have the same aura, and we can't tell them apart. However, the mirror image in the center seems a little different; there's a wisp of black energy inside it." Luo Feng pointed to the center of the mirror image group.

Han Mu looked towards the center, where a mirror image stood, just like the others, but with a colder gaze.

"That's the true form of the inner demon. To catch the thief, catch the king first." Han Mu rushed towards the central mirror image.

The other mirror images immediately surrounded and tried to block them, but Han Mu activated his Time Law, slowing down the flow of time and greatly reducing the speed of the mirror images.

"Time Stop." Han Mu activated the laws of time with all his might, freezing time around him and freezing all the mirror images.

Han Mu rushed to the central mirror image and threw a punch. The mirror image raised its hand to block, and the two fists collided. Han Mu took three steps back, while the mirror image took five steps back.

"The true form of the inner demon is indeed stronger." Han Mu's eyes were solemn.

"Han Mu, you can't defeat me. I am you, and you are me." The inner demon's mirror image spoke, its voice exactly the same as Han Mu's.

"Bullshit, you are the inner demon, I am the true self, how can we be confused?" Han Mu attacked again, pushing the law of time to its limit.

"It's useless. I know all your moves and all your weaknesses. What makes you think you can beat me?" The inner demon mirror image sneered as it engaged Han Mu in battle.

The two used identical moves and fought fiercely, their battle becoming increasingly intense. The surrounding mirror images also resumed their movements, surrounding and attacking Zhou Meng and Luo Feng.

"My lord, think of something quickly, we can't hold on any longer!" Zhou Meng was hit by the mirror image and coughed up blood.

Han Mu was anxious, but the inner demon image was too difficult to deal with, and it was impossible to determine the winner.

"My lord, use that move," Zhou Meng transmitted telepathically.

"Which move?" Han Mu asked.

"Self-severance, severing the inner demon, means severing a part of oneself. Although it will cause injury, it can break the formation," Zhou Meng said.

Han Mu understood. Inner demons are a part of oneself. To eliminate inner demons, one must eliminate a part of oneself. It's like hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own strength.

"Fine, I'll cut myself off." Han Mu gritted his teeth, abandoned his defense, and launched a full-scale attack on the inner demon's mirror image.

The inner demon mirror image sneered, also abandoning its defense and exchanging blows with Han Mu.

The two exchanged hundreds of blows. Han Mu was covered in blood, and his inner demon mirror image was also in trouble, its body beginning to become illusory.

"Han Mu, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you'll die too," the inner demon's mirror image roared.

"Then we'll die together." A ruthless glint flashed in Han Mu's eyes as he punched himself in the chest.

The inner demon's reflection changed drastically, trying to stop it, but it was too late.

Han Mu punched himself in the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The inner demon image screamed and exploded, turning into black mist and dissipating.

Once the inner demon's image died, the other images also vanished, the mist cleared, and the road ahead was revealed.

"It's a success!" Zhou Meng exclaimed with joy, supporting the swaying Han Mu.

"My lord, are you alright?" Luo Feng rushed over as well.

"It's alright, I won't die." Han Mu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although he was seriously injured, his inner demons had been eliminated, and he felt much more clear-headed.

"My lord, your laws of time?" Zhou Meng exclaimed in surprise.

Han Mu sensed that the Time Law within his body had broken through to 95%, indicating that eliminating his inner demons was greatly beneficial to his cultivation.

"A blessing in disguise, the laws of time have been broken," Han Mu said with a smile.

"Congratulations, my lord. But we must hurry. The Time Mirror Formation is broken, which will surely alert the guardians," Han Li reminded him.

"There are more guardians than the one guarding the formation." Luo Feng's expression changed.

"Of course there is. The Time Mirror Array is the first barrier protecting the Source of Time. Once the array is broken, the guardian will appear," Han Li said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure emerged from the mist ahead. He was dressed in white with white hair and had an ethereal aura; he was actually a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"In millions of years, you are the first person to break the Time Mirror Array. Interesting," the guardian said, his voice hollow.

"Yes, senior." Han Mu said warily.

"I am the guardian of the Time Guardian, responsible for protecting the Source of Time. If you want to pass through, you must first get past me," the guardian said calmly.

"How will you test me, senior?" Han Mu asked.

"It's simple. Take three of my moves. If you survive, you pass," said the guardian.

"Three moves. Senior is a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, while I am only a late-stage Great Luo Loose Immortal. I'm afraid I can't even withstand one move," Han Mu said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, I will suppress my cultivation to the same level as yours. If you can withstand three of my moves, you will win," said the guardian.

"If we're at the same cultivation level, then this junior is willing to give it a try." Han Mu's eyes lit up; he had never been afraid of anyone at the same cultivation level.

"Good, you have guts. Take this." The guardian struck out with a palm. The palm print seemed ordinary, but it contained the power of time.

Han Mu dared not be careless and struck out with his own palm. The two palms collided, and Han Mu was forced back ten steps, while the defender remained motionless.

"You caught the first move, Palm of Time. Not bad." The guardian nodded.

"Second move, Sword of Time and Space." The guardian pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed out. The sword energy contained the power of time and space, and space shattered wherever it passed.

Han Mu summoned the Coffin of Origin and held it in front of him. His sword energy struck the coffin, producing a loud bang. Cracks appeared in the Coffin of Origin, and Han Mu was blasted away, coughing up blood again.

"I caught the second move too. The third move, Blade of Time." The guardian conjured a blade of light in his hand and slashed at Han Mu.

This move contained the law of time. Han Mu felt that time around him had stopped. He could not dodge it and could only take it head-on.

"I'll risk it all." Han Mu burned his life essence and pushed the laws of time to their limit, condensing a light blade as well, and charged forward.

The two light blades collided silently, but the surrounding space shattered inch by inch, and the chaotic mist was dispelled.

Han Mu was sent flying backward, crashing into several boulders and losing consciousness.

The guardian sheathed his light blade, looked at the unconscious Han Mu, and nodded.

"Catch all three attacks and pass the test. Here is the fifth fragment of the Coffin of Origin. Take it."

The guardian tossed out a fragment that landed beside Han Mu, then turned and disappeared.

Zhou Meng and Luo Feng rushed over and helped Han Mu up.

"My lord, wake up."

Han Mu slowly woke up, saw the fragments beside him, and smiled.

"Fifth fragment obtained."
