The God of Conquest and Domination

Although these Authority Imperial Guard were indeed difficult to deal with, fortunately, their target was not Lin Yu.

Therefore, even though Lin Yu almost cleaved the Imperial Guard in two with a single stroke, the Imperial Guard still did not react to Lin Yu at all.

It still firmly wanted to return to the "Emperor's" side.

Seeing the Imperial Guard leave, Lin Yu simply drew his sword and stopped attacking.

Gu Mo over there seemed to have indeed confirmed her discovery that it was more "cost-effective" to throw the Imperial Guard out than to directly attack them until they dissipated.

It takes them much longer to come back after being abandoned than to regroup.

The once orderly formation was now in disarray, with the black-clad Imperial Guard scattered everywhere, swaying in the wind and rain.

Gu Mo is now acting like a willful, tantrum-throwing child, throwing everything she can grab at random.

And after choosing to do so...

Gu Mo's progress efficiency has also greatly improved.

Just a moment later...

Gu Mo was already standing in front of the Imperial Carriage!

Just three steps away, she could step onto the Imperial Carriage and face the "emperor" directly.

Within this distance...

Gu Mo has complete confidence in facing any enemy.

Deity, Demons, "Diviner," Demon Ancestor, Demon King, "Tier 4," "Tier 5," trucks, rocks, brown bears, Tyrannosaurus Rex...

Within this distance, there is nothing that can rival it.

She looked at the "emperor," met his eyes directly, clenched her fists, her muscles tensed, and her bones cracked.

"Final warning... Go back to where you came from."

Gu Mo said.

However, this warning wasn't a real warning; it was more like a declaration.

She didn't give the man on the other side a chance to actually "leave".

The fist was already extended as soon as the words were spoken.

"Bass--!"

A soft whooshing sound rang out as Gu Mo stepped forward, throwing a Right Hand punch with the momentum of her step.

Her foot landed on the railing in front of the Imperial Carriage; this was the most "solid" step she had taken since the beginning.

Therefore, this was naturally the heaviest punch!

This punch wasn't fast for Gu Mo.

As she swung her fist, the dark clouds in the sky churned, lightning flashed and roared, and the wind howled incessantly—as Gu Mo's fist progressed, the wind, rain, Lightning also advanced.

The "emperor," already rejected and ostracized by this world, now faces the "hostility" from the world.

One person throws a punch, and the heavens and earth unleash their deadly intent!

Even Diviner or other Deity would probably have to dodge or retreat in the face of this punch.

But...

The Emperor will not abdicate!

Instead, he straightened up and took a step forward as well.

"Very good! Rebellious—I admire your courage!"

"But... this is regicide and treason!"

The emperor's words resounded once more. He raised his Black-Gold Scepter, even meeting Gu Mo's fist head-on.

The Scepter swung, its tip pointing towards Gu Mo's fist.

A second before the collision, the surface of the Black-Gold Scepter began to undulate from its tip, the metallic luster flashing, revealing a dark and eerie pattern on its surface—a pattern like scales.

Then, the Black-Gold Scepter expanded and trembled, its shaft slipping from the emperor's hand and transforming into a broad, winding behemoth resembling a giant black serpent covered in golden scales and covered in black mane.

The enormous creature resembled a snake but was not; it had four legs, five claws, deer antlers, and golden eyes...

This is the totem that best represents imperial power, a creature that exists only in fantasy—the dragon!

A colossal, black-gold dragon, hundreds of meters long, appeared, its body half-coiled and half-stretched, lying between the "Emperor" and the "Grandmaster," unleashing a long but ferocious roar.

The seemingly unstoppable power of heaven and earth was actually blocked outside the Imperial Carriage with the appearance of the giant dragon transformed from the Scepter!

This was not because the emperor had also taken advantage of the Heaven and Earth Momentum —on the contrary, the World Will's rejection of the emperor was even more evident at this moment.

Because of this dragon...

It is the manifestation of Authority, Divine Kingdom!

Faced with Gu Mo's earth-shattering offensive, the emperor's choice was... to openly and unreservedly expand his Authority and Divine Kingdom!

Yes, this will undoubtedly exacerbate the rejection they face...

The Lightning that had been faintly rumbling in the clouds suddenly struck down, hundreds of bolts of lightning directly hitting the giant dragon, crackling and making the black dragon writhe, and the clouds and rain churned in response!

At that very moment, Gu Mo's fist slammed into the dragon's head.

"Snap!"

But...

Without a doubt, this was the emperor's choice.

He chose to... confront the World Will and the might of heaven and earth head-on.

He raised his finger, pointed at Gu Mo, and spoke again.

"Rebellion—I have returned to this realm, not for peace talks... This is my personal campaign!"

"This realm was once ruled by me, and now it should be conquered by me once more!"

Electric arcs crackled and exploded between the gaps in the dragon's scales as it thrashed about, Gu Mo's fist also punched large cracks into the dragon's head and the front half of its body.

But...

Under the electric light and within the cracks, the dragon's body shone with golden light.

Then...

The golden light flew into the emperor's hand and transformed into a golden Precious Sword.

That Precious Sword was more like a ceremonial object than a weapon.

The emperor gripped the Precious Sword and gently swung it down towards Gu Mo.

The sword strike was light and weak, and because of the great distance, it didn't even reach Gu Mo.

But...

The Sword of the Son of Heaven never needs to be used to personally slay enemies.

All he needs to do is swing his sword and point the tip at the person he wants to kill.

The dragon roared once more, and golden light transformed into golden-armored giants—these giants were far more lifelike than the previous black- Imperial Guard.

Thirty-six golden-armored giants wielded different weapons—halberds, double maces, horse spears, iron bows...

Their faces were fierce or solemn; one could tell from their appearance that they were seasoned warriors.

These people are more like commanders than soldiers!

Thirty-six golden-armored giants grabbed their weapons and immediately surrounded and attacked Gu Mo.

As they advanced, the ground beneath their feet began to appear in mid-air—a neat, plaza-like surface paved with dark black bricks spread outwards.

Behind the emperor... behind his Imperial Carriage, there even seemed to be the phantom of a magnificent Palace.

The Royal Palace's design and details are a mix of styles, seemingly combining architectural elements from the pre-Qin period to the Tang and Song dynasties at their peak, yet they are all well-integrated.

However, since it is just a phantom, it is not very clear to the eye.

As the ground opened up, the golden-armored giants solidified their forms, their golden light becoming more subdued, as if they were merely coated with a layer of gold.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

A roar erupted, thirty-six hoarse battle cries overlapping, the figures of these thirty-six fierce generals almost engulfing Gu Mo.

"Bang!"

A series of blows rang out, and weapons rained down like raindrops.

But...

Under this siege, the sky and earth suddenly darkened once again.

The already dim light from the storm made it seem like nighttime.

The sky over the entire Shenzhen darkened.

The thunder suddenly stopped, and only the howling wind continued.

A few seconds later, the light behind the clouds suddenly brightened again.

But it quickly dimmed again.

The rain continued to fall, but the sound of the rain was gradually decreasing.

The sky continued to shift between light and dark, and everything around grew quieter and quieter, except for the sound of the wind.

The change in the sky aroused Lin Yu's curiosity.

"What's going on? Is it the emperor's doing? Or... Grandmaster?"

The answer quickly became clear.

He is Grandmaster.

Because among the besieging golden-armored giants, two giants suddenly fell down.

Because of the fall of those two, a gap appeared in the encirclement, allowing Lin Yu to catch a glimpse of Gu Mo's stunning figure.

Her movements were fluid and graceful, each move and punch deflecting the dense and terrifying attacks, and she even had the strength to counterattack and exploit the weaknesses of these golden-armored giants.

Lin Yu was able to deduce that the changes in the sky and sound were related to Gu Mo...

It's because the changes in light and shadow, and the howling wind, are synchronized with Gu Mo.

The frequency of the changes in light and dark was perfectly synchronized with Gu Mo's breathing.

The only "sound of wind" remaining in the world at this moment was not the sound of wind, but the sound of Gu Mo's breathing.

With the blessing of her "Heart Domain" and "the Heaven and Earth Momentum Subtlety of Hands and Feet"...

Gu Mo seemed to have reached the literal meaning of "harmony between man and nature".

The dormant World Will of this realm, disturbed by the Emperor's Divine Kingdom, has fully accepted Gu Mo and is willing to cooperate with Gu Mo.

After activating the "Heart Domain," Gu Mo was able to imbue every punch and kick with the intent of heaven and earth.

Now... this blessing has gone even further.

The celestial phenomena changed because of her aura.

With each breath, the power of heaven and earth is amplified.

Gu Mo is now... the agent of the World Will, the embodiment of the World Will.

But it was precisely for this reason that Gu Mo, who was in the midst of Battle Formation, frowned.

"What a troublesome guy. I'm in better shape than ever before... and I still can't get rid of him?"

"This 'emperor' is merely a 'Primal Avatar,' and what appears here is just Projection of his 'Divine Kingdom'... What kind of Authority does this guy wield? Which Deity is he? Why is he so difficult to deal with?"

Gu Mo pondered, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"If only... Miao Miao were still here."

Just as Gu Mo was thinking this, she suddenly felt a familiar power of Authority enter her consciousness.

Then, a light, cheerful voice rang out.

"A'mo, are you wondering what his Authority is? Why are these entities formed from Authority so difficult to deal with?"

"Let me reveal the answer to you... A'mo, it's 'conquer' and 'Domination'."

"The reason these incarnations are so difficult to deal with is that the 'Emperor' didn't create these soldiers using just one Authority, but rather using two 'quasi- Authority's working together."

"So... his name as 'god' is quite obvious."

"It is the 'God of Conquest and Domination'!"
