The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Standing above the Cosmic Sea, Han Mu felt the surging primordial power within him and was in high spirits. He was now the master of the Cosmic Sea, with a status even higher than that of the Creator God, and the entire Cosmic Sea was under his control.

"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations, my lord!" Zhou Meng's voice came through the communication talisman, filled with excitement.

"Congratulations to you too!" Han Mu said with a smile. He was preparing to return to his own universe to celebrate properly when the Hongmeng Dao Ancestor suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Boy, don't rush off. I still have some things to tell you," said the Hongmeng Dao Ancestor.

"Please speak, senior," Han Mu said respectfully. Although he was now at the peak of the Hongmeng realm, the Hongmeng Dao Ancestor was, after all, a senior, and he still had to show him the respect due to him.

"Although the Cosmic Sea is under your control, there are even more expansive worlds beyond it, worlds where beings stronger than Hongmeng exist. You must not be arrogant or complacent," said Hongmeng Daozu.

"Stronger than Hongmeng, what realm is that?" Han Mu asked curiously.

"The Realm of the Great Dao is the ultimate realm of the universe. Reaching the Realm of the Great Dao allows one to transcend the universe and become an eternal and indestructible being," said the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

"Have you ever reached the realm of the Great Dao, senior?" Han Mu asked.

"No, I've been stuck at the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm for countless years, unable to break through that final step. That's why I'm looking for a successor and seeking an opportunity to break through myself," said the Primordial Chaos Dao Ancestor.

"Where are you going to find a breakthrough opportunity, senior?" Han Mu asked.

"Go beyond the Cosmic Sea, to those even wider worlds," said the Primordial Dao Ancestor. He patted Han Mu on the shoulder. "Boy, I'm entrusting the Cosmic Sea to you. I hope you can do even better than me."

After Hongmeng Daozu finished speaking, his body transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. Han Mu looked in the direction where Hongmeng Daozu disappeared, feeling a mix of emotions. Even Hongmeng Daozu could not break through to the Great Dao Realm, so did he really have any hope?

Han Mu shook his head, banishing these distracting thoughts. He was now the master of the Cosmic Sea, bearing a heavy responsibility, and could not afford to have wild thoughts.

Han Mu returned to his own universe, where Zhou Meng and the other two were already waiting in the Temple of Creation. They all came to greet him when they saw him return.

"My lord, you're finally back! We were all so worried," Luo Feng said.

"What's there to worry about? I am now the ruler of the Cosmic Sea. Who can hurt me?" Han Mu laughed.

"My lord, you're being too optimistic. There are even more powerful beings beyond the Cosmic Sea," Han Li said, pouring cold water on the idea.

"Can you please stop undermining me?" Han Mu said speechlessly.

The four laughed and joked for a while, then began to discuss serious matters. Han Mu told the three of them what the Hongmeng Dao Ancestor had said, and the three of them fell silent after hearing it.

"The realm of the Great Dao, is that really something we can reach?" Zhou Meng murmured.

"Whether we can reach it or not, we should at least try. What if we succeed?" Han Mu said. He decided to first stabilize his cultivation before looking for a way to break through to the Great Dao Realm.

In the days that followed, Han Mu dealt with the affairs of the Cosmic Sea while cultivating. His cultivation level improved considerably on the basis of the peak of the Primordial Chaos, but he was still far from the realm of the Great Dao.

On this day, Han Mu was cultivating when he suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation coming from the edge of the Cosmic Sea. He opened his eyes and scanned the Cosmic Sea with his divine sense, discovering that a huge crack had appeared at the edge of the Cosmic Sea, from which a large amount of chaotic energy was surging out and eroding the edge of the Cosmic Sea.

"Another rift. Last time it was the Chaos Demon God, what is it this time?" Han Mu frowned. He came to the rift and observed it carefully. He found that this rift was larger than the last one, and the chaotic energy surging out was also more concentrated.

Han Mu raised his hand and waved it, trying to repair the crack, but the chaotic energy surging from the crack was too dense, and his power was not enough to completely repair it.

"That's interesting." Han Mu became interested and decided to enter the crevice to see what was going on on the other side.

Han Mu passed through the crack and arrived in an unfamiliar void. The laws here were completely different from those of the cosmic sea, and it was filled with an aura of chaos and destruction, even worse than the universe where the Chaos Demon God lived.

As Han Mu flew through this void, he discovered that it was filled with shattered stars and broken continents, as if a fierce battle had taken place. On one of the broken continents, he found several survivors. From them, he learned that this void was originally a complete universe, but it had been devoured by a being called the Lord of Destruction.

"Lord of Destruction, what is that?" Han Mu asked.

"The Lord of Destruction is the most terrifying being in the void, specializing in devouring the origin of the universe. No universe that it has its sights on can escape," the survivor said.

"Where is the Lord of Destruction now?" Han Mu asked.

"In the deepest part of the void, within the Temple of Destruction," the survivor said.

Han Mu arrived at the deepest part of the void and indeed saw a huge black temple. The aura emanating from the temple was even stronger than that of the Lord of Chaos, and even approached the level of the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

"Another peak Hongmeng level existence." Han Mu's expression was solemn; he knew he had encountered a formidable opponent.

Han Mu entered the Temple of Destruction and saw a tall figure sitting on a throne. The figure was covered in black armor and exuded a suffocating aura; it was the Lord of Destruction.

"Who are you, daring to trespass into my temple?" the Lord of Destruction said coldly.

"I am the ruler of the Cosmic Sea, Han Mu," Han Mu said coldly.

"The ruler of the Cosmic Sea is actually the successor of the Primordial Dao Ancestor. Not bad, he'll be my snack." The Lord of Destruction laughed, opening its blood-red maw and a powerful suction force pulled Han Mu toward its mouth.

Han Mu's expression changed. He activated the power of the Primordial Chaos to stabilize himself, and then punched the Lord of Destruction. The fist imprint contained the power of the peak of the Primordial Chaos, and its power was astonishing.

The Lord of Destruction neither dodged nor evaded, swallowing the fist imprint whole, and then let out a burp.

"It tastes good, have some more." The Lord of Destruction licked his lips, a greedy glint in his eyes.

Han Mu's expression turned solemn. He knew he had encountered an opponent who, like the Chaos Demon God, could devour energy. He couldn't attack with energy; he had to attack directly with the power of laws.

Han Mu changed his strategy, using the laws of time and space to attack the Lord of Destruction. Although the Lord of Destruction could devour energy, he had no good way to deal with the direct effects of the laws, and was forced to retreat step by step by Han Mu.

"Damn human, you have angered me!" the Lord of Destruction roared, opening its blood-red maw and pulling Han Mu toward its mouth with an even stronger suction force than before.

Han Mu's expression changed. He activated the Space-Time Compass, trying to stabilize himself, but the Lord of Destruction's suction force was too strong, and his body flew uncontrollably into the Lord of Destruction's mouth.

"My lord." The voices of Zhou Meng and the other two came through the communication talisman, filled with fear.

Han Mu gritted his teeth. He knew he couldn't be swallowed by the Lord of Destruction, or he would surely die. He unleashed the full power of the Primordial Chaos Force, pushing the laws of time to their limit, and time around him suddenly stopped.

The suction stopped, and Han Mu took the opportunity to stabilize himself. Then he punched the Lord of Destruction's eye. This punch contained all his power and was his last hope.

The fist slammed into the Lord of Destruction's eye, blasting its eyeball apart. Black blood spurted out, and the Lord of Destruction let out a shrill scream as its body began to tremble violently.

"You actually managed to hurt me!" The Lord of Destruction roared, covering his eyes.

"Not only will I hurt you, I will kill you." Han Mu pressed his advantage and continued to attack the Lord of Destruction's other vital points.

The Lord of Destruction was forced to retreat by Han Mu. One of its eyes was blasted out, greatly reducing its strength. However, it was still a peak Hongmeng existence, and even injured, it was not something Han Mu could easily kill.

"Human, I'll remember you. One day, I'll come back for revenge." Knowing he wouldn't get the better of him today, the Lord of Destruction uttered a harsh threat before transforming into a streak of black light and disappearing into the horizon.

Han Mu wanted to give chase, but the Lord of Destruction was too fast and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, so he had to give up.

"My lord, are you alright?" Zhou Meng's voice came through the communication talisman.

"It's nothing, I just used up some energy," Han Mu said. He looked in the direction where the Lord of Destruction had disappeared, his expression solemn. Although the Lord of Destruction had escaped, it would definitely come back again. Next time, it probably wouldn't be so easy to deal with.
