My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

The moment Lin Mo held that dark golden essence in his palm, the entire audience erupted in chaos!

"He's going to break through at a time like this?!"

"Refining the essence requires complete concentration; the slightest mistake will result in the body exploding and death. No one has ever dared to break through in battle!"

"He's insane! He's absolutely insane! He dares to be distracted by refining the essence while facing a demigod!"

……

The merman soldiers were horrified and took several steps back, looking at Lin Mo as if he were a madman.

The siren covered her mouth, her beautiful face filled with worry.

She knew all too well the dangers of refining the essence, especially with a demigod watching her intently.

Yin Xue panicked instantly, weakly grabbing Lin Mo's collar and urgently pleading, "Lin Mo, what are you doing! This is the essence of a demigod! Forcibly refining it will burst your body! Deal with Tashuk first!"

"His Majesty!"

Ah Jin let out a loud shout.

Without further hesitation, the ten golden dragon warriors burst forth with golden light, shedding their human forms and transforming into ten giant golden dragons, each tens of feet long!

Its scales gleamed, its wings blotted out the sky, and its enormous body stood firmly in front of Lin Mo, protecting him completely.

A Jin's dragon roar reverberated through the seabed: "We are buying time for Your Majesty! But our opponent is a demigod; we cannot hold out for long. Your Majesty must finish this quickly!"

Before the golden dragons could finish speaking, Lin Mo simply raised his eyes and said calmly, "No need."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his palm!

Click!

With a crisp crack, the essence of the demigod was instantly crushed!

The immense and terrifying pure power surged into Lin Mo's limbs and bones like a flood bursting its banks.

It also contained strands of obscure and difficult-to-understand laws.

Those are exclusive laws that only the essence of demigod-level demons can contain!

The green hellfire surrounding Lin Mo surged instantly.

As the flames surged, they absorbed and refined all the incoming power.

Tashuk's pupils contracted sharply, and the arrogance on his face vanished completely, replaced by utter shock.

"This is actually the essence of a demigod!"

These words were like a thunderclap, silencing the entire room, which then erupted into an even more violent uproar!

"What?! The essence of a demigod?!"

"He only just reached level 80! How dare he do something like this!"

"Ordinary people who break through level 80 will at most dare to use level 70 essences for a steady and reliable approach. Even exceptionally talented warriors will only dare to attempt essences of the same level!"

"He skipped at least 20 levels, devouring the essence of a demigod while still a mortal! That's suicide!"

"Now we don't even need to lift a finger; he can burst himself out of shape!"

……

A cacophony of voices rose and fell, everyone convinced that Lin Mo was doomed to defeat.

Even the golden dragons blocking their way couldn't help but show their anxiety.

Tashuk's eyes were sinister; he knew he couldn't give Lin Mo any chance to refine it!

Without further hesitation, he raised his hand and unleashed the full power of the demigod-level ocean laws.

A jet-black ocean current tentacle, several meters thick, suddenly took shape, piercing directly through the mermaid kingdom's bubble shield, and hurtling towards Lin Mo with the force to crush everything!

"Don't even think about harming His Majesty!"

A Jin roared and swung his dragon claws, unleashing golden dragon energy that struck the tentacles in an attempt to stop them.

But the ocean current tentacles seemed to possess intelligence and had no intention of getting entangled with Ah Jin. With a light turn, they instantly bypassed the golden dragon's obstruction and rushed straight at Lin Mo's face!

Ajin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned his head sharply to look, his heart sinking instantly.

His Majesty was still refining the essence and had no time to dodge!

But the next second, Akin was completely stunned.

Lin Mo was surrounded by raging green hellfire, and his previously weak aura had completely vanished.

Instead, it climbed to a terrifying height.

He didn't even move a step; he simply raised one hand and accurately grabbed the powerful, heavy ocean current tentacle!

The tentacles struggled frantically, but Lin Mo held them firmly in his palm, preventing them from moving.

Lin Mo slowly raised his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his dark pupils. A mocking sneer curled at the corner of his mouth as he stared directly at the astonished Tashuk.

Tashuk froze on the spot, nearly losing his grip on the Trident of Poseidon.

His golden eyes widened to a bloodshot, and he roared in disbelief, "How is this possible?! The essence of a demigod is incredibly violent, how could you refine it while simultaneously taking my attack?!"

The surrounding chatter erupted once again.

Everyone stared intently at the figure enveloped in green flames in the center of the arena, their faces filled with shock as they secretly analyzed the situation.

"Could it be that his mental power has become so strong that it can crush demigods and demons?"

"It's more than just crushing him! To be able to distract himself under a demigod's attack and still refine the essence across 20 levels—just how terrifying is his mental strength?"

"Tsk... Terrifying! Even the heroes of ancient times might not have been able to achieve this!"

……

The merman soldiers had long lost their will to fight, standing frozen in place, looking at Lin Mo as if he were a monster.

The siren stood there, stunned, her beautiful face filled with complex emotions.

Yin Xue rested on Lin Mo's shoulder, her blood-red eyes still showing a hint of surprise, and gently poked his cheek.

"You...are you really alright? Your mental strength is strong, but to refine the essence of a demigod while fighting, this...this is too outrageous."

She lived for countless years.

I've seen many strong people break through, but I've never seen anyone so crazy.

Even as a demon king, she wouldn't dare to easily attempt such a risky, high-risk approach.

Lin Mo smiled, looked up at the black sword humming and vibrating at his waist, and spoke in a calm but clear voice.

"It's him, he's helping me refine it."

Yin Xue looked at the black sword and immediately understood, the surprise in his eyes fading away.

She recalled that when Lin Mo was refining the essence, the black sword had repeatedly interfered.

Secretly, they helped him organize his power and modify his skills.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yue, inside the black sword, was using his recently recovered strength to help suppress the power of the demigod's essence.

"However, I still need to be distracted to resist the impact of the essence."

Lin Mo added.

The power of the demigod's essence is too domineering.

Even with Zhou Yue's assistance, he still needed to concentrate some of his energy on suppressing the attack.

Yin Xue nodded immediately without the slightest hesitation: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

She activated the soul connection, but this time she didn't transfer power. Instead, she channeled her pure spiritual energy into Lin Mo's body through the bond.

Help him calm down and isolate him from external distractions so that he can focus on the battle.

Tashuk was furious as he watched the two work together so seamlessly.

"Don't even think about it!"

With a furious roar, the laws of the ocean surged wildly around him, and the Trident of the Sea God pierced fiercely into the seabed.

"Deep-sea purgatory!"

In an instant, the entire seabed trembled violently.

Countless sharp coral stones burst forth from the seabed, transforming into razor-sharp stone blades that shot towards Lin Mo from all directions.

At the same time, several thick ocean current tentacles condensed again, carrying the power of laws, and tightly wrapped around Lin Mo's limbs, attempting to imprison him and interrupt his refining process.
