Chapter 1926: Chapter 1009: Pursuit (Part 2)

The doppelganger of Wuda was initially slightly intimidated by the heavenly thunder of extreme Half-step Great Power level, not to mention the Great Ability Level Heavenly Tribulation.

If she were to actually be struck by it, it would certainly injure her, and after a few strikes, this doppelganger might not survive.

Thus, the doppelganger of Wuda turned to flee, but Li Shiming would not let her go.

Li Shiming’s figure flickered, appearing once again beside Wuda’s doppelganger.

Meanwhile, as the heavenly thunder struck down, due to both Wuda’s doppelganger and him using Space Movement, the thunder initially should have struck empty.

But as soon as they used Space Movement to appear in another location, the thunder disappeared from its original place and then appeared above him and Wuda’s doppelganger.

With a ‘boom’ sound, Li Shiming’s figure flickered beneath Wuda’s doppelganger, letting her take the brunt from above.

The thunder struck Wuda’s doppelganger, unleashing a golden glow from her body, blocking the thunder.

The remaining force fell upon Li Shiming below, defended by the Eternal Water Bear armor.

However, Li Shiming clearly felt multiple Eternal Water Bears heavily injured, undergoing rapid healing.

Utilizing Innate Wood Divine Skill, he activated 108 brains simultaneously to invoke 108 Innate Wood Divine Skills, restoring the vitality of 108 Eternal Water Bears within a breath.

“I’ll kill you!” roared Wuda’s doppelganger angrily, unable to contain her emotions.

Before the heavenly thunder descended, she had the hope of escaping the tribulation.

But having borne the strike once, she can no longer escape, forced to endure the tribulation alongside Li Shiming.

Of course, if Li Shiming were to fall, returning to the Grotto Heaven might halt the progression of the tribulation.

Wuda’s doppelganger can no longer aim to capture Li Shiming alive, but consider slaying him to remove the impending trouble.

In the past, standing before Wuda’s doppelganger, Li Shiming could not even utilize the Divine Foot Skill.

Wuda’s doppelganger’s perception of the rules of space far exceeded that of the previous Li Shiming.

Yet it is different now, the space rules grasped by Li Shiming allow him to freely use Space Movement before Wuda’s doppelganger, making it difficult for her to catch him in a short time.

Under the first heavenly thunder, it seemed Li Shiming took the worse off, while Wuda’s doppelganger appeared unscathed.

But only Wuda’s doppelganger knew she had indeed encountered immense trouble.

The method she used to block the thunder was by activating a powerful shield from the Inheritance Talisman.

This managed to fend off the Great Ability Level Heavenly Thunder, but unfortunately, such a defensive talisman can only be used once.

Just as Wuda’s doppelganger was about to attack Li Shiming, another thunder strike descended, taking her off guard.

This time she cast a defensive spell to block the thunder.

The thunder struck her spell shield, which only held for a moment before breaking, and the remaining force swept over her doppelganger towards Li Shiming.

Wuda’s doppelganger felt at least a third of her energy was lost, unable to withstand such thunder strikes continuously.

Every strike increases in intensity, and her consumption grows greater.

The thunder struck Li Shiming, and the Eternal Water Bear armor once again showcased its defensive prowess, though at the cost of injuring over ten Eternal Water Bears.

The injured Eternal Water Bears recovered within a breath, and then Li Shiming’s Innate Wood Divine Skill fully restored them.

The third heavenly thunder descended, and Wuda’s doppelganger looked up at the sky in despair.

The intervals between the thunder strikes were too short, allowing no time for respite.

Wuda’s doppelganger tapped into her energy to create a strong defensive spell.

The thunder collided with the spell shield, which trembled for a moment before exploding, with most of its energy consumed.

Li Shiming endured the remaining thunder force, the electricity flashing across his body, yet still unable to break through the defense of the Eternal Water Bear.

However, he worried, realizing the Eternal Water Bear does not possess limitless defense. If its defense limits are exceeded, its self-healing might not keep pace with thunder damage.

If the Eternal Water Bear’s armor breaks, he would likely be obliterated by the thunder.

Wuda’s doppelganger took out a jade bottle, consuming some Spirit Pills to quickly restore her energy.

But the intervals between the thunder strikes remain excessively short, with another strike threatening soon after emerging from the previous.

“Li Shiming, return to your Grotto Heaven, and I shall not pursue today’s events,” Wuda’s doppelganger contemplated ending today’s affair early, even if it meant abandoning the chase after Li Shiming; she did not wish to lose a doppelganger.

“Senior Wu Da, let’s see if I last longer or if you are struck down by the thunder first!” Li Shiming retorted coolly.

Wuda’s doppelganger had no time for further talk as another thunder strike fell.

Regardless of her adjustments, Li Shiming would instantaneously appear below her when the thunder fell, forcing her to withstand its full power.

This thunder depleted Wuda’s doppelganger’s energy further, making her stagger, and her form appeared transparent, lacking its previous tangibility.

Li Shiming’s Eternal Water Bears sustained more injuries, yet these ailments merely required a moment for them to heal.

Wuda’s doppelganger tried to escape, yet the terrifying aspect of the thunder tribulation is once involved, escape becomes impossible.

If her true self were present, hiding within the Grotto Heaven could have evaded the strikes.

Wuda’s doppelganger intermittently pleaded for mercy, yet Li Shiming saw no reason to spare her.

Li Shiming’s figure flickered, appearing close to Wuda’s doppelganger.

He launched a punch towards Wuda’s doppelganger while she focused on healing; the brief intervals between thunder strikes left both sides unable to maximize their efforts.

Wuda’s doppelganger didn’t evade, thinking Li Shiming, despite all else being excellent, couldn’t possibly harm her, a Great Power.

Li Shiming closed in and threw his punch.

This punch wielded Half-step Great Power strength, yet couldn’t hinder Wuda’s doppelganger.

The true force of this punch didn’t stem from the physical might of cultivated Half-step Great Power but from the gloves’ power.

These gloves were composed of eleven Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects.

The punch struck Wuda’s doppelganger, her entire body stiffening as she felt her grip on her energy slipping away.

Her realm being higher than the Half-step Fifth Grade Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects allowed her to break free from their devouring attack.

Just as she escaped the ‘spirit siphon’ ability of the Silver Winged Spirit Gu, before fully controlling her body, another thunder descended.

This time, Wuda’s doppelganger failed to mount any defense, as the thunder struck down from her head to her feet.

Wuda’s doppelganger screamed in agony, her consumption overwhelming, with her doppelganger’s energy nearly depleted, and her body severely injured.

After a brief respite, another thunder strike followed.

Struggling to produce a shield, Wuda’s doppelganger found her injury-suffering body unable to respond correctly.

She acted a moment too late and was struck by the thunder.

The strike left Wuda’s doppelganger’s body translucent, the imminent next thunder poised to end her life.

Li Shiming flickered once more beside Wuda’s doppelganger, punching her body.

The ‘spirit siphon’ effect triggered, rendering Wuda’s doppelganger unable to control her energy, while thunder struck her simultaneously, exploding her outward like a balloon.

Li Shiming saw a soul crystal ring and a Fifth Grade Spirit Treasure Feather Fan.

He collected the spiritual objects left by Wuda’s doppelganger, vanishing into the air as thunder struck empty space.
