Strongest Replication

Endless Forest, within the territory of the High Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts.    

    

Having unleashing the full power of his movement technique, Chu Zhongtian brushed through the forest like a cool breeze blowing past at an astonishing speed. Just as he did so, he could vaguely feel that his low rank movement technique was showing signs of breaking through. As such, he increased his speed even more without any regard for the spiritual qi in his dantian.    

    

After increasing his speed without any reservation, Chu Zhongtian felt that he was on the verge of breaking through. At the same time, he felt as if his legs were getting closer to becoming the wind itself.    

    

Suddenly, his already fast speed had instantly increased by nearly two times, marking its breakthrough to the Major Realm.    

    

With his sudden increase in speed, he would soon approach the border between the territory of the Tenth Grade and Ninth Grade Strange Beasts.    

    

At this moment, not only did he notice the figures of the High Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts, he also caught sight of three black-clothed experts from the Wang Family.    

    

In that instant, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Hiding in the shadows behind a huge tree in a flash, Chu Zhongtian began observing the situation through the tiny openings of the tree.    

    

There were a total of three experts from the Wang Family dressed in black clothing. Two of them were in the Ninth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm while the other one was at the Tenth Layer. At that moment, all three of them were carefully avoiding the High Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts while slowly moving forward.    

    

Chu Zhongtian wasn't afraid of these three experts from the Wang Family who were chasing after him. After all, taking everything he had in his disposal into account, his combat strength had reached the Peak Tenth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, allowing him to easily deal with them. However, at this moment, he was already approaching the territory of the Ninth Grade Strange Beasts. Furthermore, a High Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beast would appear around him from time to time.    

    

Not wanting to attract the attention of the strange beasts around him, Chu Zhongtian gave up on the idea of launching a sneak attack for the time being and instead calmed himself down. He then quietly followed behind the giant but gentle Sky Stepping Elephant and slowly approached the gathering place of the strange beasts.    

    

"The Low Rank Seventh Grade Cyan Heart Lotus!"    

    

Following behind the Stepping Sky Elephant, Chu Zhongtian quietly approached the gathering place of the strange beasts. When he was still a thousand meters away, Chu Zhongtian stopped in his tracks.    

    

At that moment, he noticed that there was a natural lake with a diameter of around a hundred meters in the center of the gathered strange beasts.    

    

Furthermore, in the middle of lake stood a cyan lotus on the surface of the lake. Upon seeing this particular lotus, Chu Zhongtian could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.    

    

Any seventh grade heavenly treasure would also be considered a rare item. The Cyan Heart Lotus was exactly that.    

    

After all, it possessed the effect of increasing one's strength and potential, whether that of a human or a strange beast. In addition to using it to refine an extremely strong defensive Spirit Tool, it was naturally considered a rare treasure.    

    

The flower of the Cyan Heart Lotus can be used to refine a strong defensive Spirit Tool while its seeds can be use to increase one's cultivation base. Moreover, the seedhead can be used to strength one's body while its juice has the ability to purify spiriutal qi.    

    

Although he felt the urge to dash over and pick out the Low Rank Seventh Grade Cyan Heart Lotus at the center of the lake, he knew his own limits very well. A heavenly treasure like the Cyan Heart Lotus was not something a mere Qi Refining Cultivator like him could afford to covet.    

    

Just as he retracted his gaze, Chu Zhongtian suddenly noticed a middle aged woman about 500 meters away from the lake from the corner of his eyes, seemingly seizing this rare opportuntiy to obtain the Cyan Heart Lotus. Furthermore, behind her stood Dongfang Yun'er, Qi Yiloong, and several other people.    

    

Thinking of the strength of the middle-aged woman, who had reached the Qi Transformation Realm at the very least, as well as considering her domineering way of doing things, he quickly gave up on the idea of snatching the Cyan Heart Lotus away. At the same time, he slowly retreated until he arrived at a safe and relatively hidden spot where he could just barely see the Cyan Heart Lotus from.    

    

At this time, the Cyan Heart Lotus in the middle of the lake was already halfway from maturity, not far from its full bloom.    

    

Comparing his strength to that of the middle-aged woman, Chu Zhongtian figured that the Cyan Heart Lotus would eventually fall into her heads. After all, the strongest strange beast that appeared in the gathering place was only a Mid Rank Ninth Grade one, which was equivalent to a human in the Intermedaite Body Refining Realm.    

    

Thus, the middle-aged woman, with the peerless strength of a Qi Transformation Cultivator, would not find it difficult to take the Cyan Heart Lotus away. In fact, since Chu Zhongtian was worried that his gaze might alert the middle-aged woman, he did not dare to look in her direction at all.    

    

As the Cyan Heart Lotus got closer to blooming fully, Chu Zhongtian could clearly hear the breathing of the strange beasts gathered around the lake becoming heavier by the second. Neither being able to snatch the Cyan Heart Lotus nor willing to leave just like that, he simply sat still and observe the situation around the lake from his hiding spot.    

    

At this moment, countless strange beasts of various species had been attracted over by the Cyan Heart Lotus. As a matter of fact, Chu Zhongtian had never seen or even heard of some of them before.    

    

While observing the strange beasts, he inadvertently swept his gaze in Dongfang Yun'er's direction and noticed that the middle-aged woman was signaling her and the others to retreat quietly.    

    

Noticing the abnormality of this situation, Chu Zhongtian felt rather puzzled. After all, with the middle-aged woman's overwhelming strength among all the strange beasts and human cultivators in the vicinity, there should be no need for her to do this. Why was her expression so solemn at this moment?    

    

Could it be that there were experts around the same cultivation or perhaps stronger than her hiding in the surroundings? Taking this possibility into account, Chu Zhongtian hurriedly hid deeper in his spot. At the same time, he adjusted his breathing so that it would blend into the dark environment around him.    

    

Feeling that he was safe in his position, Chu Zhongtian was completely unaware of the pair of cold eyes staring at him from behind. From time to time, killing intent would even flash past those eyes.    

    

The flower of the Cyan Heart Lotus in the middle of the lake was almost fully bloomed. At this time, the roar of the strange beasts could be heard from a far distance away from the lake.    

    

Along with the roar of the strange beast, the person staring at Chu Zhongtian from behind shift his cold gaze towards the center of the lake.    

    

The roar of the strange beast contained a strong force, causing Chu Zhongtian's scalp to go numb. At the same time, he felt the ground beneath his feet shaking as the surrounding leaves began falling.    

    

In his moment of shock, Chu Zhongtian looked up and noticed a gigantic strange beast approaching the lake rapidly.    

    

The Low Rank Eight Grade Earth Shifting Dragon!    

    

Seeing the strange beast over fifty meters tall approaching closer to the lake with its ferocious demeanor, Chu Zhongtian could not help but remain petrified in his position.    

    

The knowledge he possessed in his mind were mostly about the Tenth Grade and Ninth Grade Strange Beasts, not much about Eighth Grade ones or above. At most, he only knew about four or five kinds of Eight Grade Strange Beasts.    

    

The Earth Shifting Dragon just so happened to be one of the Eighth Grade Strange Beasts that he was familiar with. In fact, it was the one that he knew most about.    

    

As a Low Rank Eighth Grade Strange Beast, the Earth Shifting Dragon possessed abnormal strength. According to the rumors, it was a variant of strange beast deriving from a True Dragon and an Earth Shifting Beast.    

    

Possessing a small amount of blood from the True Dragon Bloodline in its body, it was naturally blessed with great power. Despite being labeled as a Low Rank Eighth Grade Strange Beast, its true combat strength was most likely closer to that of a Mid Rank Eighth Grade Strange Beast.    

    

With the grand appearance of the Earth Shifting Dragon, the hundreds of Ninth Grade Strange Beasts surrounding the west side of the lake hurriedly made way for it to enter the side of the lake.    

    

No wonder the middle-aged woman ordered Dongfang Yun'er and the others to retreat. It turned out that her true opponents weren't the Ninth Grade Strange Beasts, but rather the Earth Shifting Dragon that had made a sudden appearance.
