The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

A violent tremor came from outside the cave, and the defensive formation was on the verge of collapse. Shi Yu's roar pierced through the formation.

"Han Mu, get out here, or I'll smash your tortoise shell to pieces."

Han Mu's face was pale. He had just returned from the Time Mirror with serious injuries. His internal laws of time were almost exhausted, and he also had severe internal injuries from fighting the fourth mirror image. At this moment, he only had 30% of his strength left.

"My lord, your injuries are too severe; you cannot go out," Zhou Meng said hastily, noticing Han Mu's poor condition.

"If we don't go out, the formation won't last long. Shi Yu is at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and this hastily set-up formation can't stop him." Han Mu took a deep breath, swallowed a few healing pills, and forcibly suppressed his injuries.

"But you're like this now..." Luo Feng was also anxious.

"Han Li, how much longer can the formation hold?" Han Mu asked Han Li.

"At most half an incense stick's time, Shi Yu has brought five mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals, who are joining forces to attack the weak points of the formation." Han Li's expression was solemn.

"Half an incense stick's worth is enough." A cold glint flashed in Han Mu's eyes as he took out the fifth fragment of the Coffin of Origin from his storage ring. This fragment was obtained from the secret chamber of the Chaotic Sea of ​​Time and had not yet been refined.

"My lord, it's too dangerous for you to refine the fragments now. The refining process cannot be disturbed," Zhou Meng exclaimed in alarm.

"There's no time. You all protect me while I refine it as quickly as possible." Han Mu sat down cross-legged, placed the fragment in his palm, and began to refine it by circulating his cultivation technique.

The fragments emitted a strong fluctuation of the law of time, resonating with the law of time within Han Mu's body. Under the nourishment of the law of time, Han Mu's injuries began to slowly recover.

"Han Li, reinforce the formation. Hold out for as long as you can. Zhou Meng, Luo Feng, prepare for battle. If the formation is broken, fight to the death to buy time for our lord." Han Li quickly made arrangements, adding three layers of defense to the original formation.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can disturb the master." Luo Feng patted his chest, but his eyes were full of worry, as a peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal was leading the team outside.

Outside the cave, Shi Yu's face was gloomy. Han Mu dared to hide and not come out, which was a slap in his face.

"Attack with all your might! Blast this tortoise shell open!" Shi Yu ordered, and the five mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals attacked simultaneously, bombarding the formation with various immortal techniques. The formation's light screen trembled violently, and cracks appeared.

"My lord, the formation is about to break," said a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

"Keep attacking. Han Mu must be healing inside. We can't give him a chance to catch his breath." Shi Yu sneered and joined the attack. The power of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal slammed into the formation, and the cracks in the formation rapidly expanded.

Inside the cave, Han Mu focused all his efforts on refining the fragments. The fragments transformed into streams of light and merged into Han Mu's body, resonating with the previous four fragments. The five fragments slowly fused together in Han Mu's dantian, forming the shape of half a coffin lid.

"Four more pieces are needed." Han Mu could sense that there were nine fragments of the Coffin of Origin. Once all nine were collected, the complete Coffin of Origin would be formed, which would be a treasure surpassing even the Immortal Emperor's artifact.

The fusion of fragments brought immense power, allowing Han Mu's injuries to heal rapidly, and the law of time was also continuously improving, progressing from 95% to 96%.

"Boom!"

The cave shook violently, the outermost array shattered, and Shi Yu and the others broke through the first layer of defense.

"My lord, the first layer of the formation has been broken," Han Li said urgently.

"Continue to reinforce it and buy some time." Han Mu closed his eyes to refine the fragments, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Refining the fragments required concentration, but external distractions prevented him from calming down.

"Han Mu, I know you're inside. Come out and face your death obediently, and I'll give you a quick death." Shi Yu's voice came, laced with sarcasm.

Han Mu remained unmoved and focused on refining the formation. The second layer of the formation was also shattered by the attacks of Shi Yu and the others.

"My lord, the second layer of the formation has also been broken. Only the last layer remains, which can only last for ten breaths at most." Han Li's face turned pale. With the formation broken, he also suffered a backlash, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Ten breaths, that's enough." Han Mu suddenly opened his eyes. He had refined most of the fragments, his injuries had recovered to 70%, his time law had reached 96%, and his strength had recovered to 50%.

"My lord, you..." Zhou Meng saw Han Mu stand up and wanted to say something.

"You all step back, I'll deal with Shi Yu." Han Mu drew his sword and walked out of the cave, with Zhou Meng and the other two following closely behind.

Outside the cave, Shi Yu saw Han Mu emerge, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Han Mu, you've finally decided to come out. I thought you were going to be a coward," Shi Yu mocked.

"Shi Yu, you talk too much nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight." Han Mu said coldly, his momentum undiminished despite his injuries.

"Fine, you've got guts. I'll see how long you can keep up your arrogance." Shi Yu waved his hand, and five mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals surrounded Han Mu.

"My lord, we'll help you deal with the two," Zhou Meng said. He, Luo Feng, and Han Li were all at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and together they should be able to hold out for a while against two mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"No need, you all step back, leave these people to me." Han Mu shook his head, Shi Yu was the real enemy, the others were nothing to fear.

"Arrogant! I'll see how you deal with these five." Shi Yu sneered, signaling the five to make their move.

Five mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals attacked simultaneously, bombarding Han Mu with various immortal techniques. Han Mu activated his Time Law, slowing down the flow of time around him, easily dodging the attacks. Then, he unleashed a sword strike, the sword light as fast as lightning, instantly killing one of them.

"What?" The remaining four were shocked. Han Mu was clearly seriously injured, so how could he still have such strength?

"Time acceleration." Han Mu attacked again. With the acceleration of time, his speed reached its limit, and another person was killed before he could even react.

"Damn it, attack together." The remaining three dared not be careless and attacked together, but Han Mu did not fight head-on. He used the law of time to move around and constantly look for weaknesses, and soon killed another one.

"Useless, all of you are useless." Shi Yu was furious and took action himself, slashing at Han Mu with his Death Scythe, the black blade light tearing through space.

Han Mu dared not take the blow head-on and used Time Acceleration to dodge, but the blade was too fast and he was still grazed on the shoulder, blood splattering everywhere.

"My lord." Zhou Meng and the other two wanted to help, but were suppressed by the oppressive aura of Shi Yu and could not get close.

"Shi Yu, is this all you've got?" Han Mu gritted his teeth and continued refining the fragments within his body. There was only one fragment left before it could be completely refined.

"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent." Shi Yu struck again, this time with a fatal blow. The laws of death and time merged, transforming into a gray vortex that enveloped Han Mu.

Han Mu was in dire straits, but he did not panic. The moment the gray vortex approached him, the fragments were finally completely refined. The five fragments merged, and half of the coffin lid took shape, unleashing terrifying power.

"Coffin of Origin, Suppress!" Han Mu shouted, and half of the coffin lid appeared as a phantom, suppressing everything. The gray vortex shattered instantly, and Shi Yu was forced back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"What kind of treasure is this?" Shi Yu was shocked. The aura emanating from the half-coffin lid made his heart tremble.

"A treasure that will take your life." Han Mu manipulated the phantom of the coffin lid to smash towards Shi Yu. Shi Yu tried his best to defend, but the phantom of the coffin lid was too strong. Shi Yu's defense shattered like paper and he was sent flying, seriously injured and falling to the ground.

"Lord Shi Yu!" The remaining two mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals were shocked and hurriedly went to help Shi Yu.

"Let's go." Shi Yu gritted his teeth, knowing he was no match for them, and decisively chose to retreat.

"Trying to leave? Too late." How could Han Mu let them go? The phantom of the coffin lid crashed down again, smashing Shi Yu and the two mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals into a bloody pulp, their souls and spirits annihilated.

Han Mu put away the illusory coffin lid, his face pale. Controlling the illusory coffin lid had taken a huge toll, and his recently recovered injuries had worsened.

"My lord, are you alright?" Zhou Meng and the other two surrounded them.

"It's alright, I just need to rest for a bit. Let's get out of here quickly. Shi Yu is dead, and Shi Zun will find out soon. He'll definitely send someone even stronger," Han Mu said, and the four of them left quickly.

Half a day later, Han Mu found a secluded valley, set up an array, and began to heal his injuries.

"My lord, this was too dangerous. If you hadn't refined the fragments on the spot, we would have been in grave danger," Luo Feng said, still shaken.

"Yes, Shi Yu is too powerful. A peak Great Luo Golden Immortal is indeed formidable," Zhou Meng remarked.

"My lord, you have refined the fifth fragment. The Coffin of Origin should be almost complete by now, right?" Han Li asked.

"I still need four more fragments, but after refining the fifth fragment, my Time Law will break through to 97%, and my strength will increase significantly," Han Mu said. The benefits of refining the fragments far exceeded his expectations.

"My lord, where do we go next? Shi Zun will definitely not let this go." Zhou Meng asked.

"Go to the Eternal Forge. There is a sixth fragment there. Once we collect all six, the Coffin of Origin can be used in its initial stages. At that time, we will have the strength to fight even against the Time Lord," Han Mu said, taking out the core of the Heart of Molten Fire from his storage ring. The core emitted a scorching aura and pointed in a certain direction.

"The Eternal Forge is in the Molten Realm, which is far from here. We need to set off as soon as possible." Han Mu put away the core and began to heal his injuries.

Three days later, Han Mu recovered 80% of his injuries, his Time Law stabilized at 97%, and his strength reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, just one step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor.

"Let's go, to the Molten Realm." Han Mu led the three of them out of the valley and flew towards the Molten Realm.
