"If you can hold out for three minutes, I'll let you leave."

The long-haired, black-eyed man suddenly spoke.

"Do you mean it?"

Lin Mo frowned.

"As the king of the Rainforest Tribe, I certainly won't joke with you."

The long-haired, black-eyed man's lips curved into a faint smile.

"Zhen Yuanzi, you don't need to intervene, I'll fight him." Lin Mo's gaze was determined.

"Mr. Lin?" Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback and frowned at Lin Mo.

"Unless absolutely necessary, I won't ask for your help. The path of cultivation is mine to walk, and it's only three minutes; I think I can win."

Lin Mo said expressionlessly.

"Alright, I admire your courage. If you can hold out for three minutes, I'll let you take Mu Ling." The voice of the long-haired, black-eyed man had hardly fallen when a shadow had already appeared before Lin Mo, delivering a punch that shattered space, causing twisted space cracks to appear.

Lin Mo retracted the Xuanyuan Sword, crossing his arms to defend, as the True Essence Shield instantly shattered. The vast force surged in, causing his entire body's qi and blood to churn, with a violent energy drilling into his body, making him feel like he was about to be torn apart.

Naturally, Lin Mo's entire body was flung several hundred meters away.

"Indeed, the strength is formidable. I'm only at the Star Wheel Mirror Five Stars, and even with a hundredfold combat power amplification, there's still a significant gap compared to a master of the Sun Wheel Realm." Lin Mo thought to himself.

"Being able to block one punch is impressive, but unfortunately, there's still two minutes and fifty seconds to go."

The long-haired, black-eyed man said coldly, his figure disappearing again, appearing in front of Lin Mo the next moment.

"I won't admit defeat."

Zhen Yuanzi hovered in mid-air, surrounded by black mist, and upon seeing Lin Mo's state, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Mr. Lin, don't—"

"If I can't hold on, then act. Whether I am a despicable villain today or a strong man, I must obtain Mu Ling."

Lin Mo's voice resonated in Zhen Yuanzi's mind.

Zhen Yuanzi frowned and sighed heavily in his heart.

"You—" The long-haired, black-eyed man seemed to notice something was wrong with Lin Mo, frowning his sword eyebrows. Lin Mo's eyes were suffused with threads of blood that connected into patches, turning his eyes blood-red, with a faint red aura floating all over his body.

After the Demon Transformation, Lin Mo's strength increased several times, with his basic combat power of five hundred points growing to a thousand basic combat power units again.

"I can still maintain a sliver of clarity. If I further increase my combat power, I'm afraid my consciousness will completely collapse, and I've already reached my limit."

Lin Mo maintained a sliver of clarity in his mind.

Ever since the last Demon Transformation on Duwu Island, Lin Mo had noticed some strange things in his heart. He even attempted to trigger the hidden depths of a savage killing aura, feeling a sense of danger each time he touched it.

This was a seed of the Demon Heart that had taken root in his heart, and deliberately touching it would cause him to undergo Demon Transformation.

"Come on, three minutes should be enough."

Lin Mo lifted his head, his eyes completely blood-red, instantly turning into a streak of blood light rushing towards the long-haired, black-eyed man.

"Hmm, ultimately wrong path; delving into the Demon Path will destroy you eventually." The long-haired, black-eyed man frowned, his entire body radiating a green light, transforming into a green streak.

A green light and a red light flickered back and forth in the sky, clashing.

Every clash caused the air to explode and space to tremble.

The fierce aura of both almost overshadowed everyone, with shockwaves spreading out, turning the forest below into dust, exposing the moist soil.

"Mr. Lin, every time you use Demon Transformation, you can double your strength, but it's like dancing on the edge of a blade, incredibly dangerous. If you're not careful, consciousness will be devoured by killing intent and Demonic Qi, turning you into a killing machine."

Zhen Yuanzi hovered mid-air, observing the battle intently. Among everyone present, only he could see the details of their combat. If Lin Mo couldn't hold on, he would intervene without hesitation.

Lin Mo is someone with whom he shares a bond of life. If Lin Mo were to die, he would also disappear without a trace.

"True Dragon Fist."

In the Cultivation World, although Lin Mo mainly trained in magic techniques, he learned some Immortal Weapons techniques in the early stages. The profound meanings and explosive power of these Immortal Weapons were formidable.

The longer the long-haired, black-eyed man fought, the more alarmed he became. Lin Mo forcibly elevated his Realm, and his basic combat power should be weaker. After all, forcibly elevating Realm and arduous cultivation, though the same Realm, the strength would differ slightly.

However, he didn't know what martial arts techniques were being used, but the power contained within was incredibly dominant and formidable, allowing him to fight to a standstill, unable to overcome Lin Mo in the slightest.

"Earth Refining Ghost Axe!"

Lin Mo's eyes were blood-red as he kicked down from mid-air, with a hazy red giant axe descending from the sky, as if to cleave the heavens and the earth.

"What martial arts technique are you using?" The long-haired, black-eyed man's face changed slightly as he struck with his palms, but his body shook, and he was thrown backward, the air exploding.

"King!"

Ye and a group of Rainforest Warriors saw this scene and couldn't help but show nervous expressions.

"I'm fine, stop." The long-haired, black-eyed man wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, glancing lightly at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stopped simultaneously, and the blood threads in his eyes began to constrict, his eyes clearing up immediately.

"The three-minute time isn't up yet?" Lin Mo frowned, but he remained on alert.

"I can't kill you, and you still have an ally. There's no need to continue fighting, but you must remember, you owe the Rainforest Tribe a favor." The long-haired, black-eyed man said lightly.

"Alright, Lin Mo will remember." Lin Mo clasped his hands in respect.

After speaking, Lin Mo channeled the power within his Dantian, shooting out hundreds of emerald-green light beams in all directions.

"I only need Mu Ling; as for these leaves, I return them to you."

With a swish, hundreds of figures, including Heller and others, instantly darted towards the green lights shooting out.

Having done all this, Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi immediately flew in the wind, soaring towards the direction they came from.

Lin Mo's face was pale and bloodless, and as the Star Power within his Dantian circulated, the Spiritual Energy inside nourished the churning blood. Although Demo Transformation and the hundredfold combat power amplification briefly allowed Lin Mo to possess Golden Core Stage-like strength, the toll on his body was extremely severe.

The muscles, bones, and internal organs all endured excessive force, causing damage. Fortunately, the Yang Wood Divine Skill and the Life Energy emitted by Mu Ling within him constantly nourished his injured muscles, internal organs, and fascia, allowing Lin Mo to sustain himself for longer in battle.
