The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Dozens of early-stage Immortal Emperor mirror images attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of immortal techniques upon Han Mu, each attack powerful enough to destroy a star.

Han Mu's expression was solemn. He activated the Time Law at full power, dodging and weaving between attacks. However, there were too many mirror images and the attacks were too dense. He was quickly hit several times and had several wounds on his body.

"This won't do; we have to find a weakness." Han Mu gritted his teeth, dodging attacks while observing the patterns in the mirror images.

He discovered that although these mirror images were powerful, their behavior patterns were singular, seemingly bound by some kind of rule, and they could only attack according to fixed routines.

"Han Li, can you spot the weaknesses of these mirror images?" Han Mu asked telepathically.

"My lord, these images were formed by the time array within the palace. The core of the array is that fragment. As long as the connection between the fragment and the array is severed, the images will dissipate," Han Li replied.

"It's cutting off contact again. It was the same thing at the Eternal Forge last time. Can't Time Lord come up with something different?" Han Mu said speechlessly.

"Although the methods used by the Time Lord are repetitive, they are effective. Last time, the Lord used the Coffin of Origin to suppress the fragments, and the same method can be used this time," Han Li said.

"Alright, you guys cover me, I'll suppress the fragments." Han Mu gritted his teeth, took out the Coffin of Origin, and the phantom of the coffin lid formed by the fusion of the six fragments appeared, radiating the pressure of suppressing space and time.

Sensing the threat posed by the phantom of the coffin lid, the mirror image intensified its attacks, forcing Han Mu to retreat step by step, unable to get close to the fragments at all.

"My lord, we're here to help you." Zhou Meng and Luo Feng rushed into the palace regardless of the danger. Zhou Meng activated the Time Guardian Mark, which turned into golden light to block some of the attacks, while Luo Feng took out various talismans and threw them at the mirror image recklessly. Although they couldn't hurt the mirror image, they successfully attracted attention.

"Now is the time." Han Mu seized the opportunity, and the phantom image of the coffin lid pressed down on the fragments.

The mirror image tried to stop it, but Zhou Meng and Luo Feng held it back with their lives, and the illusory coffin lid fell down smoothly, pressing the fragments underneath.

The fragments struggled violently, but the illusory image of the coffin lid remained motionless. The connection between the image and the fragments was severed, and the image began to become illusory before finally dissipating completely.

Han Mu breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the fragment, reached out and grasped it. The fragment transformed into a stream of light and merged into his body, fusing with the previous six fragments. With the fusion of the seven fragments, the coffin lid became more complete, emitting an even more powerful aura.

"The seventh fragment is in hand." Han Mu felt the surging power within his body. The Law of Time was finally perfected, reaching 100%. His cultivation also broke through the bottleneck, stepping from the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the early stage of the Immortal Emperor.

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

Name: Han Mu

[True Realm: Early Stage Immortal Emperor]

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

[Status: Peak, lifespan increased by one million years]

[Possesses: 7 Fragments of the Coffin of Origin, 3 Fragments of the Key of Time, Eternal Forge, Netherworld Guardian Token, Time Guardian Legacy]

[System Notification: Congratulations, host, on breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm! New feature unlocked: Time Reversal (allows you to rewind to three breaths ago)]

"Immortal Emperor, I have finally broken through." Han Mu clenched his fist, feeling the vast power within his body, which was more than a hundred times stronger than before. Now, even if he were to face the true form of the Time Venerable, he would have the strength to fight.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough to Immortal Emperor, Master!" Zhou Meng and Luo Feng congratulated each other in unison, their faces beaming with joy despite their injuries.

"You've worked hard. Heal your wounds first, and then we'll go find the eighth fragment," Han Mu said, taking out some pills for the two of them to take.

"My lord, where is the eighth fragment?" Zhou Meng asked.

"In Shi Zun's lair, at the source of Shi Yuan's power." A cold glint flashed in Han Mu's eyes. It was time to settle accounts with Shi Zun.

"My lord, the Time Source is the lair of the Time Lord, and it is heavily guarded. Wouldn't it be too risky for us to go there now?" Han Li asked worriedly.

"I am now an Immortal Emperor. Even if I can't defeat the Time Venerable, I can still escape unscathed. Moreover, I have the Coffin of Origin, which can restrain the Time Venerable's laws of time," Han Mu said confidently.

"My lord is right. Now is the time to counterattack. Shi Zun certainly wouldn't expect us to take the initiative," Zhou Meng agreed.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Luo Feng said impatiently.

"No rush, let's prepare first. Shi Zun is not so easy to deal with. We need to develop a detailed plan," Han Mu said, and began to discuss countermeasures with Zhou Meng and the other two.

Half a day later, Han Mu and his three companions left the Netherworld Sea and boarded a black warship to head towards the source of time.

The source of time is located at the center of all the heavens and myriad realms. It is the origin of the laws of time and the lair of the Time Lord. It is heavily guarded, and ordinary cultivators cannot get close to it at all.

After flying for seven days, the warship finally reached the edge of the source of time. Ahead lay a golden sea of ​​light, in which countless stars floated, each radiating a rich fluctuation of the laws of time.

"This is the source of time, how magnificent!" Luo Feng exclaimed.

"The Source of Time is the origin of the laws of time. Cultivating the laws of time here is twice as effective, but it is also extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be torn apart by the turbulent flow of time," Han Li warned.

"My lord, there is a patrol team of Venerable Ones ahead, all of whom are at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortals," Zhou Meng said.

"Charge straight ahead and kill anyone who gets in our way," Han Mu said coldly. He was now an Immortal Emperor, and even a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal was nothing more than an ant in his eyes.

The black warship charged directly toward the source of time and light, and was quickly spotted by the patrol team, which surrounded it with more than a dozen peak-level Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on the source of time? You're asking for death!" the patrol captain shouted.

Han Mu was too lazy to waste words. He unleashed a palm strike that blotted out the sky. More than a dozen peak-level Golden Immortals were smashed into mincemeat before they even had a chance to scream.

"Keep moving forward," Han Mu said calmly, and the warship continued deeper into the interior.

Soon, a huge golden palace appeared ahead, floating in the center of the sea of ​​light, exuding supreme majesty. It was the palace of the Time Lord.

"Lord Shi, I've arrived." A cold glint flashed in Han Mu's eyes as he flew out of the palace.

The palace gates slowly opened, and a figure emerged from the palace, dressed in a golden robe with a blurred face—it was none other than Shi Zun.

"Han Mu, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for a long time," Shi Zun said, his voice calm yet filled with boundless majesty.

"Time Lord, today is your death day," Han Mu said coldly, releasing his Immortal Emperor aura without reservation.

"Early stage Immortal Emperor, no wonder you dared to come looking for me. But you think an Immortal Emperor can defeat me? You're too naive." Shi Zun sneered, releasing his own aura, revealing himself to be at the peak of Immortal Emperor.

Han Mu's expression changed slightly. Shi Zun's strength was greater than he had imagined. He was at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, three minor realms higher than him.

"Do you still think you can defeat me now?" Shi Zun mocked.

"Even if we can't beat them, we have to fight. Today, it's either you or me who dies." Han Mu gritted his teeth, summoned the Coffin of Origin, and the phantom image of the coffin lid appeared, pressing down on Shi Zun.

"The Coffin of Origin, it's a pity there are only seven fragments, two more are missing. If it were the complete Coffin of Origin, I would be more wary, but now, it's not enough." Shi Zun struck out with a palm, knocking back the illusory image of the coffin lid. Han Mu suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The difference in strength is too great. There is a huge gap between the early stage of Immortal Emperor and the peak of Immortal Emperor. Han Mu is no match for him at all.

"My lord, retreat quickly! You are no match for him!" Zhou Meng said urgently.

"Too late to retreat." Shi Zun sneered, grabbing Han Mu with one hand. Han Mu was trapped in the air, unable to move.

Just then, the Coffin of Origin within Han Mu's body suddenly trembled, and the eighth fragment flew out from the Palace of Time Sovereign, merging into the coffin lid. The coffin lid became more complete, unleashing terrifying power and breaking free from Time Sovereign's confinement.

"The eighth fragment was originally with you." Han Mu's eyes lit up. He grabbed the fragment, refined it, and the eight fragments merged, making the coffin lid almost intact, leaving only the last fragment.

"Damn it, I forgot that this fragment is still in the palace." Shi Zun's face was ugly. He originally wanted to use the fragment as bait, but he didn't expect to help Han Mu instead.

Han Mu refined the eighth fragment, and his cultivation broke through again, advancing from the early stage of Immortal Emperor to the middle stage of Immortal Emperor, with his strength soaring.

"Time Lord, now it's fair." Han Mu sneered, summoning the Coffin of Origin once again. This time, the illusory image of the coffin lid was even more solid, radiating a pressure that suppressed all the heavens.

Shi Zun's expression was solemn. He was not afraid of the complete Coffin of Origin, but the Coffin of Origin in eight fragments could already pose a threat to him.

"Han Mu, you have indeed exceeded my expectations, but you are still too green to kill me." Shi Zun snorted coldly, and a golden longsword appeared in his hand. The longsword emitted fluctuations of the laws of time, and it was obviously a Celestial Emperor artifact.

"The Sword of Time, the sword of the Time Lord, is said to be able to sever time itself," Han Li reminded him.

"Severing time, I'd like to see just how powerful it is." Han Mu activated the Coffin of Origin, and the phantom of the coffin lid pressed down on the Time Lord. The Time Lord slashed out with his sword, and the sword light collided with the phantom of the coffin lid, unleashing a terrifying wave that made the entire source of time tremble.

The two fought a fierce battle, from the palace to the sea of ​​light, and from the sea of ​​light to the starry sky. Wherever they passed, stars shattered, space collapsed, and countless cultivators were affected and died tragically.

Although Han Mu's cultivation was not as high as Shi Zun's, with the help of the Coffin of Origin and the Eternal Furnace, he actually fought Shi Zun to a draw, with neither able to defeat the other.

"Han Mu, you are indeed very strong, but I have the entire Source of Time as my backing. You cannot outlast me." Time Lord sneered, as the power of the Source of Time continuously flowed into his body, keeping him at his peak.

Han Mu's face was grim. Shi Zun was right. At the source of time, Shi Zun was invincible. Unless he left this place, he would never be able to defeat Shi Zun.

"My lord, we cannot fight Shi Zun at the source of time; we must lure him out," Han Li transmitted his voice.

"How do we lure him? He's not stupid," Han Mu asked.

"Use the ninth fragment. The ninth fragment is in the Chaos Sea. As long as the master pretends to go to the Chaos Sea, the Time Lord will definitely come after us," Han Li said.

"Okay, I'll do it your way." Han Mu pretended to be outmatched and turned to run away.

"Trying to run? Chase after him." Shi Zun fell for it and gave chase.

The two chased and fled, quickly leaving the source of time and entering the Chaos Sea.
