Taiyi Dao Fruit

Among their mutual perception, the electric glares blocked seemed to come entirely from the same person; there was no distinction at all.

However, the reality was that these electric glares were produced by both of them, and they couldn't possibly be the same.

The Mother of Lightning's electric glare was a combination of her own Dao Fruit Divine Power and the Taiping Sect's Thunder Technique; theoretically, even if people practiced the same cultivation technique, they absolutely couldn't conjure electric glares identical to hers.

Yet, this impossibility had occurred.

Before the eyes of the spectators, two identical women maneuvered mid-air, their figures sharp and swift, the Light Mirrors dividing and merging, streaks of electric light speeding across the sky, constantly colliding.

This scene should have been pleasing to the eye, but as the murderous intent gradually boiled over and the electric glares became increasingly fierce, it seemed somewhat terrifying.

The Mother of Lightning represented the yin aspect of thunder. Naturally, she cultivated Yin Thunder. These electric glares, though not as forceful and domineering as those of the Thunder God, were absolutely no less lethal in terms of killing power. Once they struck a person, Yin Thunder electric glare would exterminate all vitality, turning a body of flesh and blood into pus and gore.

As the exchange intensified, electric light burst back and forth, already intertwining into layers of electric nets, forming a sight similar to tidal waves.

The Mother of Lightning's inner shock and rage deepened with the engagement because—

It was all exactly the same!

Whether it was the electric glare, the operation of their Magic Door techniques, the Qi Mechanism, or even that sharp look on their faces, everything was exactly the same.

More similar than a shadow in a mirror.

At least the shadow in the mirror is reversed, while the person in front of her was completely identical to herself, making the Mother of Lightning feel as if she was fighting her own self.

"Long Sky Lightning."

The Mother of Lightning twisted her palm, and the Light Mirror split, dividing from two into four. Simultaneously, she let out electric glares, the fierce light like thunder and guns, shaping into weapons. Beyond the sinister, she added a killing power.

Her opponent, the "Mother of Lightning," practically simultaneously operated the Light Mirror, with four electric glare strands of gun power bursting forth, fierce and indescribable, colliding precisely with the techniques emitted by the Mother of Lightning.

"Bang!"

The electric light exploded, forming a sweep of Thunder Cloud, the fierce light twisting and turning, blindingly dazzling.

It was then that the Mother of Lightning took a step and shifted her position, her body like electric light, instantly passing through the Thunder Cloud, taking advantage of the momentary blindness of electric light to close in on her opponent.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, Thunder Gang in hand."

The electric glare grew by three parts more forceful. The two Light Mirrors transformed into thunder and lightning, grasped in the Mother of Lightning's hands like a sword and a knife, slashing forward. The dazzling electric glare suddenly darkened; the previously sinister and majestic aura was gone. Instead, all the Qi, all the power was concentrated within those two strands of thunder and lightning.

The Mother of Lightning saw that the confrontation was not working and resorted to a surprising move.

She used the sweep of the Thunder Cloud to affect her opponent's perception, turning the magical duel into close-quarters combat. The two strands of thunder and lightning were like Heaven's punishment, carrying the inexorable condemnation, and she slashed at her enemy.

Her opponent's electric glare emitted a tearing sound in front of those two thunder and lightning strands, easily torn apart. The protective Electric Gang was also instantly shattered, revealing the opponent's body and...

A pair of calm eyes.

Those eyes were unnervingly calm, showing no panic when facing danger, reflecting the image of the Mother of Lightning and the two strands of thunder and lightning like a clear mirror.

The Mother of Lightning could see within those eyes the minute light waves moving inside the thunder and lightning, as if a massively powerful thunder and lightning were being broken down into millions of pieces, revealing the most minute components and changes.

She could see her own body gradually becoming transparent, flesh and bones, organs and meridians, even the more minute particles, all appearing within the opponent's gaze.

In front of these eyes, Mother of Lightning had no secrets.

So, that was how it was; this was the reason the opponent could manifest the same techniques and Magic Door skills—their perception saw everything, no matter how trivial!

The Mother of Lightning felt as if her spirit had suddenly plummeted into a bottomless abyss. For a moment, she thought she could see the opponent grabbing the two thunder and lightning strikes, effortlessly stealing them away, and then stabbing back at her.

The electric glare exploded within her body; Yin Thunder eroded her flesh. Her beautiful body was melting...

"Hmph!"

A towering pressure descended from above, shattering the scene before her. The Mother of Lightning's eyes cleared to see several strands of electric glare forming claw power, hovering in front of her, a mere hair's breadth from making contact with her head.

Her own thunder and lightning had not been taken from her hands; they had only been entangled by two strands of electric rope, and she could not push forward.

All that had happened seemed like an illusion, remaining only in her memory.

But in reality, it was almost a fatal blow from the electric claw, only to be suppressed by the shadow of a large cauldron. That cauldron shadow bore the weight of Suppressing the Nine Provinces, pressing down from above and restraining them both.

As for the one who intervened, it was none other than King Shu!

"Did the Prince discern the true from the false?"

The "Mother of Lightning" said with a light laugh, "Indeed, the victor is determined. You're an imitation inferior in skill; it's time for you to reveal your true form."

Could there really be any logic to this world where genuine goods are defeated by fake ones?

Using the same cultivation technique and distinct divine skills of the Mother of Lightning, the result was a loss. Who is real and who is fake should now become clear, right?

However, King Shu was suppressing both persons at the same time, while saying, "I still cannot tell who is real and who is fake. Such transformation skills are truly startling. I have underestimated others. But there is only one kind of person in this world who can perceive the Qi mechanism and imitate the Mother of Lightning's methods, and that person must belong to the Jiang family. It can even be said that only someone with the appearance of the Divine Farmer can accomplish this."

There could only be two such persons.

One was Gongsun Qi, who had cultivated the appearance of the Divine Farmer through Jiang Li's help, and the other was Jiang Li himself.

Among the two Mothers of Lightning, one must certainly be Jiang Li.

So what had to be done did not require further words—simply take them all down.

The shadow of the large cauldron gradually solidified, and at the same time, landscapes appeared on top of the cauldron, revealing a vast territory with a shape that was unmistakably Liangzhou Province.

King Yu established the Nine Cauldrons to divide the Nine Provinces, and this large cauldron was the Liangzhou Cauldron from among the Nine.

Now in the Liangzhou region, the Liangzhou Cauldron, although a mere shadow, bore the weight of mountains and rivers as if the whole land of Liangzhou was pressing down from above, firmly suppressing the two Mothers of Lightning.

"Still not revealing yourself?" King Shu coldly shouted, the pressure of the cauldron increasing.

The weight of the mountains and lands came bearing down—if Jiang Li did not wish to bear the weight of the Liangzhou Cauldron and fight a third-grade, he had to reveal himself immediately.

And once Jiang Li revealed himself, he would face King Shu's sudden violent attack.

King Shu's gaze was commanding, taking in not just the two under the Liangzhou Cauldron, but the four others around them as well. His large sleeves billowed, revealing a pair of palms covered in yellow scales.

He saw one of the Mothers of Lightning with a complexion red as dates, her vitality surging, already almost unable to hold on, and he saw the other's figure beginning to change, gradually morphing to reveal…

A true form?

A single strand of long hair!

It was pitch-black as ink, indestructible like a divine weapon, clearly not of ordinary quality.

But this did not conceal the fact that it was merely a strand of hair.

The enemy that nearly cost the Mother of Lightning her life was in fact transformed from a single strand of hair. Such a truth seemed unfathomable even to King Shu.

At the same time, he determined through this which one was the fake.

But as King Shu's gaze swept over, the other two fakes also turned into two strands of long hair, gently floating down.

Simultaneously, King Shu's divine perception felt a slight fluctuation; a figure was disappearing in the distance.

"Jiang Li!"

He exhaled deeply, the previously composed expression on his face becoming quite serious, "What an impressive Jiang Li!"

So cautious and so formidable.

Controlling an avatar transformed from a strand of hair from afar, he nearly took the life of the Mother of Lightning and made it so that even he could not distinguish the real from the fake.

King Shu had to revise his assessment of this person once again.

If it weren't for the opponent's misfortune and his own excessive caution, he might have never realized Jiang Li's capability for deceptive transformation.

"This child has become a great trouble to my heart," King Shu thought, sighing heavily.

······

······

"Too kind."

In a space filled with flashing electric light, Jiang Li heard the prince's exclamation and responded with a modest smile.

Of course, King Shu definitely couldn't hear it because this place is…

"This is the Qi Sea of the Mother of Lightning."

Jiang Li said with a light chuckle.

In the instant when the Mother of Lightning's mind was intimidated by Jiang Li, he used his mysterious skill to transform and entered the body of the Mother of Lightning.

This was the actual escape route for Jiang Li.
