The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Han Mu slumped to the bottom of the Void Sea, panting heavily. His power had been almost completely drained, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up. Although the Void Core had been destroyed, the price he paid was too high. His cultivation level had plummeted from the peak of the Great Dao to the early stage of the Great Dao, which meant that all his efforts had been in vain.

"System, you've screwed me over," Han Mu cursed weakly.

"The host's choice to exchange for the ultimate destructive power is unrelated to this system," the system coldly replied.

Han Mu was speechless. He struggled to his feet, dragging his exhausted body, and began to walk back. The void power in the Sea of ​​Nothingness was still strong, constantly eroding his body. He had to leave this place as soon as possible, or his life might be in danger.

Han Mu struggled through the Sea of ​​Nothingness, taking a full month to emerge. The moment he stepped out, he was completely exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

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

"It's nothing, I'm just exhausted. I'll be fine after a rest," Han Mu said weakly.

"My lord, please come back quickly! Something has happened in the Cosmic Sea!" Zhou Meng said urgently.

"What happened?" Han Mu asked hurriedly, his heart tightening.

"You'll understand when you get back; it's hard to explain over the phone," Zhou Meng said.

Han Mu dared not delay. He forced himself to rush towards the Cosmic Sea. It took him half a month to finally return to the edge of the Cosmic Sea. The scene before him stunned him.

A massive crack appeared at the edge of the cosmic sea, from which a large amount of gray mist surged forth, eroding the edge of the cosmic sea. Many small universes had already been swallowed by the gray mist, turning into lifeless ruins.

"What is this?" Han Mu's expression was solemn. He could sense a strange power contained in the gray mist, different from the chaotic energy and the power of the void, but a power he had never seen before.

"My lord, you're finally back." Zhou Meng and the other two came forward, their faces filled with anxiety.

"When did this crack appear?" Han Mu asked.

"It appeared suddenly shortly after you left, and we've tried all sorts of methods, but we can't fix it," Han Li said.

Han Mu walked to the crack and observed it carefully. He was shocked to find that the gray mist gushing out of the crack was actually corroding his power of the Great Dao. He knew that the power of the Great Dao was the most powerful force in the universe, yet it was being corroded by this gray mist.

"My lord, what exactly is this thing?" Luo Feng asked.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing," Han Mu said. He tried to repair the crack with the power of the Great Dao, but the power of the Great Dao was corroded and dissolved as soon as it came into contact with the gray mist, and it was completely ineffective.

"My lord, can't even you fix it?" Zhou Meng asked worriedly.

"It can't be repaired. This gray mist seems to be of a higher level than the power of the Great Dao," Han Mu said with a solemn expression.

"It's even higher than the power of the Great Dao, what kind of power is that?" Han Li exclaimed in shock.

"I don't know, but we must find a way to stop it, otherwise the entire cosmic sea will be swallowed up," Han Mu said.

Han Mu decided to enter the crevice to see what was going on on the other side. He gave Zhou Meng and the other two a few instructions and then jumped into the crevice.

The crack was a gray world, filled with gray mist. Visibility was obstructed and divine sense was suppressed. Han Mu traveled through the gray mist for a long time before finally arriving at an unfamiliar place.

It was a desolate continent, littered with ruins, as if it had survived a brutal war. The air was thick with the stench of decay and death, making one feel extremely uneasy.

Han Mu was traveling on the continent when he discovered some strange creatures. These creatures were covered in gray scales, had no eyes, and only a large mouth full of sharp teeth, making them look ferocious and terrifying.

Sensing Han Mu's presence, the gray creatures rushed towards him. Han Mu raised his hand and punched several gray creatures, blasting them into dust. But even more gray creatures surged up, seemingly endless.

Han Mu frowned. He knew that this couldn't go on. He had to find the source. He activated his movement technique, shook off the gray creature's pursuit, and flew towards the depths of the continent.

Deep within the continent, Han Mu saw a massive gray palace. The aura emanating from the palace was even stronger than that of the Lord of the Void. Han Mu's expression turned solemn. He knew that the owner of this palace was probably the target of his journey.

Han Mu entered the gray palace and saw a tall figure sitting on the throne. The figure was covered in gray scales and had a single horn on its head, exuding a suffocating aura.

"Who are you, daring to trespass on my territory?" the figure said coldly, his voice like the scraping of metal, harsh and unpleasant to hear.

"I am the ruler of the Cosmic Sea, Han Mu, and who are you?" Han Mu said coldly.

"I am the Lord of Ashes, the master of this gray world," the figure said coldly. "Your cosmic sea is quite impressive; I like it very much. Therefore, I have decided to make it my territory."

"Dream on." Han Mu said coldly, and he took the initiative to strike, throwing a punch at the Lord of Ashes.

This punch contained the power of the early stage of the Great Dao, but the Lord of Ashes neither dodged nor avoided it. He raised his hand and waved it, and a gray power dissolved Han Mu's fist imprint into nothingness.

"At the early stage of the Great Dao, you dare to be presumptuous in front of me? You really don't know what's good for you." The Lord of Ashes said disdainfully, raising its hand and grabbing at Han Mu with a huge gray palm.

Han Mu's expression changed. He activated his movement technique and narrowly avoided the gray palm, but the gray palm landed on the ground behind him, directly blasting a huge crater in the ground.

"So powerful." Cold sweat broke out on Han Mu's forehead. He knew he was no match for the Lord of Ashes, but he could not back down. Behind him was the cosmic sea, filled with countless living beings. He had to protect them.

"My lord, we're here to help you." Zhou Meng and the other two's voices came from behind them, and they also entered the crevice.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here, you're no match for it!" Han Mu said urgently.

"My lord, we will not leave. We will die together," Zhou Meng said firmly.

Looking into the determined eyes of the three men, Han Mu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that with these brothers by his side, even death would be worthwhile.

"Alright, today the four of us brothers will have a go at this Lord of Ashes." Han Mu laughed loudly, and the four of them attacked at the same time, rushing towards the Lord of Ashes.
