The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Zhou Meng placed Han Mu in a hidden cave and set up an array to isolate his aura. Luo Feng stood guard at the cave entrance, his face tense.

"Brother Zhou, is our master alright?" Luo Feng asked worriedly, looking at the unconscious Han Mu.

"Our lord is only unconscious due to severe injuries. He should be out of danger, but he needs time to heal." Zhou Meng examined Han Mu's injuries, his brows furrowed.

Most of Han Mu's meridians were severed, and his internal organs were displaced. Shi Gui's palm strike almost killed Han Mu. If it weren't for the protection of the Time Source Core, Han Mu would have already died.

"My lord said before that he could break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm at any time. If he breaks through now, will his injuries be better?" Luo Feng asked.

"A large amount of spiritual energy will flow in during the breakthrough, which can indeed repair injuries, but the breakthrough process cannot be disturbed, otherwise you will suffer from qi deviation." Zhou Meng shook his head. There are sometimes ghosts searching outside now, so it is not a good time to break through.

"What should we do? The Time Ghost will find this place soon. If our master doesn't break through, we'll all die," Luo Feng said anxiously.

"We can only stall for time and hope that our lord will wake up soon." Zhou Meng was also helpless; now he could only leave it to fate.

Although Han Mu was unconscious, he was conscious. While comprehending the inheritance, he was guarding the legacy. The legacy contained a healing secret technique called "Time Reversal Technique", which could return the body to its state before the injury, but at a great cost, it would reduce one's lifespan by a hundred years.

Han Mu did not hesitate and directly used the Time Reversal Technique. A lifespan of a hundred years is only a short time. As long as he can survive, there are plenty of ways to make up for it.

With the Time Reversal Technique activated, Han Mu's body emitted a faint golden light, and his injuries healed at a visible speed. His broken meridians were reconnected, and his displaced internal organs returned to their proper places.

A moment later, Han Mu opened his eyes. His injuries had healed, but his face was pale. The price of losing a hundred years of lifespan was not small.

"My lord, you're awake!" Zhou Meng exclaimed in delight.

"Yes, the injuries have healed, but I've lost a hundred years of my lifespan." Han Mu sat up, sensing his internal condition. His cultivation was still at the peak of the Great Luo Loose Immortal realm, but it was more stable.

"A hundred years of lifespan, my lord, you're pushing yourself too hard." Luo Feng clicked his tongue in amazement.

"If we don't fight, we'll die. What's the situation outside?" Han Mu asked.

"The Time Ghost is searching this planet and will find it soon," Zhou Meng said.

Han Mu nodded and brought up the system panel to check the status.

Name: Han Mu

[True Realm: Peak of the Great Luo Loose Immortal]

[The Law of Time: 100% (Perfection)]

[Status: Lifespan reduced by 100 years, lifespan needs to be replenished]

[Possesses: Time Guardian Legacy, Core of the Source of Time, Fragment of the Coffin of Origin x5, Fragment of the Key of Time x3, Core of the Molten Core (Fragment), and Token of the Netherworld Guardian]

[System Notification: The fifth fragment, "Heart of the Demon God," is nearby and can be collected upon sensing.]

Han Mu's eyes lit up. The fifth fragment, the Heart of the Demon God, was nearby, which was an unexpected surprise.

"My lord, we've made a discovery." The Time Guardian Mark in Zhou Meng's arms suddenly heated up, pointing towards the depths of the cave.

"There's something deep inside the cave, let's go take a look." Han Mu got up and walked towards the depths of the cave.

Zhou Meng and Luo Feng followed, and the three of them went deeper into the cave. After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a huge cave appeared ahead. In the center of the cave was a stone platform, and a black heart floated on the stone platform. The heart was slowly beating and emitting a strong demonic aura.

"The Heart of the Demon God, the fifth fragment." Han Mu recognized the black heart as the fifth fragment, the Heart of the Demon God.

"My lord, be careful. The Heart of the Demon God contains powerful demonic energy. If you rashly take it, you will be corrupted by demonic energy," Han Li warned telepathically.

"I know." Han Mu did not rush forward. He carefully observed the Heart of the Demon God and found that there was a seal on the surface of the heart. The seal had cracked and demonic energy was seeping out from the crack.

"My lord, the seal seems to be about to break, and what's sealed inside is about to come out." Zhou Meng's expression was solemn.

"What's sealed inside is the remnant of an ancient demon god. Once the seal is broken, we'll all die." Han Mu could see that the seal contained the remnant of a demon god, whose strength was at least at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"What should we do? If we don't take the fragments, the Time Ghost will kill us; if we take the fragments, the Demon God's lingering will kill us. Either way, we're going to die," Luo Feng said with a bitter face.

"Shut up, the master has his own way." Zhou Meng glared at Luo Feng.

Han Mu pondered for a moment and decided to take the risk. The Time Ghost was outside, and the Demon God's remnant was inside. Between two evils, he chose the lesser. The Demon God's remnant had been sealed for countless years and its strength had been greatly reduced, so perhaps there was a chance.

"You all step back, I'll collect the fragments." Han Mu stepped forward, preparing to collect the Heart of the Demon God.

Just then, the seal shattered completely, and a dark shadow burst out from the heart of the demon god, transforming into a phantom of a three-headed, six-armed demon god, radiating terrifying demonic energy.

"Hahaha, I'm finally out! After so many years, I'm finally free!" The demon god's phantom laughed, his voice shaking the cave.

"Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, this is troublesome." Han Mu's expression was grim; the strength of the demon god phantom was beyond his expectations.

"Insects, you are the ones who released me. I hereby grant you death." The demon god's phantom stared at Han Mu and his companions with six eyes, filled with murderous intent.

"My lord, what should we do?" Zhou Meng asked.

"What else can we do but run if we can't win?" Luo Feng was very honest.

"There's no way to escape, I have to fight." Han Mu gritted his teeth and activated the Time Law at full power. The flow of time around him slowed down, and the movements of the demon god's phantom also slowed down.

"The laws of time, interesting, but not enough." The demon god's phantom unleashed a punch, its demonic energy surging, shattering the laws of time, and the aftershocks sent Han Mu flying.

Han Mu crashed into the cave wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The difference in strength was too great; he simply couldn't win.

"My lord!" Zhou Meng and Luo Feng rushed forward and stood in front of Han Mu.

"How dare an ant block my way?" The demon god's phantom attacked again, its demonic energy transforming into a giant palm that slammed down.

Zhou Meng and Luo Feng tried their best to defend, but the difference in strength was too great. They were sent flying by a single palm strike and fell to the ground severely injured.

Han Mu struggled to his feet, a resolute glint in his eyes. He took out the core of the Source of Time, preparing to detonate it and perish together with the phantom of the demon god.

"My lord, no!" Zhou Meng shouted.

"This is the only way." Han Mu poured his immortal power into the core, which began to glow, and terrifying energy fluctuations spread out.

The demon god's phantom expression changed slightly, realizing that Han Mu was about to self-destruct. It turned around and tried to escape, but it was too late.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. The Heart of the Demon God suddenly flew up and merged into Han Mu's body. Han Mu's body trembled, and his cultivation began to surge. He instantly broke through to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and continued to improve, progressing to the middle stage, the late stage, and finally stopping at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"What, what's going on?" Han Mu was stunned. The Heart of the Demon God had actually taken the initiative to recognize him as its master and even helped him break through.

"Damn it, the Heart of the Demon God has recognized you as its master! Impossible! I am the true inheritor of the Demon God's legacy!" The demon god's phantom roared, charging towards Han Mu to reclaim the Heart of the Demon God.

Han Mu is now in the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, at the same level as the demon god's phantom. He is no longer afraid. His time law is perfected, and the demonic energy of the demon god's phantom is weakened by more than half in the face of the time law.

"Time Stop." Han Mu used the Law of Time, causing the demon god's phantom to pause. Han Mu seized the opportunity to throw a punch, which struck the demon god's phantom squarely in the chest.

The demonic phantom flew backward, a large hole appearing in its chest, its demonic energy dissipating and its strength greatly reduced.

"No, I am not reconciled!" the demon god's phantom roared, but it was powerless to reverse the situation. It was attacked continuously by Han Mu and eventually dissipated.

Han Mu breathed a sigh of relief and checked his body. The Heart of the Demon God had merged with him, becoming the fifth fragment. His strength had increased to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and his lifespan had been restored, with an additional thousand years of lifespan.

"My lord, you've broken through!" Zhou Meng exclaimed in delight.

"Hmm, I'm a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. I'm not afraid of Time Ghosts anymore," Han Mu said with a smile, but his smile quickly froze because the voice of Time Ghosts came from outside the cave.

"Han Mu, I've found you. Come out and face your death."

The ghost led his men to surround the cave, which made things even more complicated.
