In Luo Feng's mind, he repeatedly reviewed the insights from the Secret Manual. As time passed, he started to gain a fresh understanding of the Grand Momentum.

HUM!

A strange vibration emanated from within Luo Feng, causing the airflow throughout the valley to tremble. As if drawn by an invisible force, all airflow reversed its course, forming a gigantic swirling vortex that spun rapidly.

WHOOSH...

The once tranquil valley was suddenly swept by a violent wind, causing loose stones on the ground to roll incessantly. The Yuan Qi from miles around converged towards the valley, flowing into Luo Feng's body.

Time passed, and Luo Feng gradually floated into the air.

Upon closer inspection, one could see streams of sharp airflow rapidly rotating around him, slicing the surrounding air and creating a sharp, hissing sound.

「A few miles west of the valley.」

Three figures darted around a huge shadow. The sounds of clashing Yuan Qi and the heart-stopping roars of beasts sent chills down one's spine.

The gigantic shadow belonged to a large Demon Beast, the Bloody Crazy Giant Tiger. It was shorter than two meters but nearly a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) long and resembled a ferocious tiger. Its fur was as brightly colored as blood. Hook-like sharp teeth protruded from its mouth, and its claws, almost two feet long, were not only extremely sharp but also radiated an eerie, cold light in the darkness. The beast's blood-red pupils emitted a chilling, bloodthirsty glow. It was a third-tier Demon Beast, equivalent to a seventh-level Essence Storage Realm Martial Artist.

Flanking the Bloody Crazy Giant Tiger were three young Martial Artists: two males and one female. All three were armed with longswords and jointly attacked the beast.

These young Martial Artists were all at the seventh level of the Essence Storage Realm. Their coordination was impeccable, not allowing the Bloody Crazy Giant Tiger any chance to retaliate.

ROAR!

After a few moments of combat, the Bloody Crazy Giant Tiger was heavily injured. It let out a painful howl, stumbled back a few steps, and then crashed to the ground, its body twitching slightly.

"Die!"

The sturdiest of the youths plunged his sword fiercely into the neck of the Bloody Crazy Giant Tiger. The blade emerged from the top of its head, completely extinguishing its life force.

"Senior Brother Lu, you are truly amazing!" the attractive girl at the side said with a smile, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she watched the strong youth.

The strong youth sheathed his sword and laughed. "What's so amazing about me? I just entered the academy a year ahead of you. In a year, you will surely surpass me."

The other youth, the one with thick brows, walked up to the Bloody Crazy Giant Tiger. He extracted something with his sword and said with a grin, "How lucky! This Bloody Crazy Giant Tiger actually has a Demon Core in it!"

The strong youth and the attractive girl turned their eyes toward him at those words.

In the thick-browed youth's hands was a blood-colored Demon Core about the size of a thumb.

The attractive girl exclaimed excitedly, "The Demon Core of a third-tier Demon Beast is worth hundreds of thousands of Silver Taels! This trip has not been in vain!"

The youth with thick brows looked at the dark wilderness surrounding them and flashed a broad smile. "This Blood Chronicle Wasteland truly is loaded with treasures! Senior Brother Lu, let's continue hunting Demon Beasts!"

The strong youth, addressed as Senior Brother Lu, frowned slightly and said, "Did you not notice? The roars of the beasts around us seem to have intensified quite a bit, which is a bit unusual... I think we should call it a night."

The youth with thick brows casually patted the sword at his waist and laughed. "Senior Brother Lu, we just need to be a bit cautious. As long as we don't run into fourth-tier Demon Beasts, the three of us can handle them."

The attractive girl didn't say anything, just stared at the strong youth with her glistening eyes, hoping he would acquiesce.

The strong youth hesitated slightly. He was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something and jerked his head to look into the distance.

What's going on? Why does it seem like all the Yuan Qi here is surging in that direction? he wondered.

The other two also noticed the abnormal fluctuations in the Yuan Qi and looked in the same direction.

The thick-browed youth seemed to realize something, his face lighting up with excitement. Looking at the two beside him, he exclaimed, "Senior Brother Lu, Junior Sister Xu Qing, could a Spiritual Medicine have appeared?"

The sudden fluctuations in Yuan Qi led the thick-browed youth to guess that a Spiritual Medicine was absorbing it.

Upon hearing his words, the attractive girl's eyes also lit up with excitement. "A Spiritual Medicine that can absorb Yuan Qi so quickly is definitely not ordinary!"

"Let's go take a look!" the thick-browed youth urged.

Their trip to the Blood Chronicle Wasteland served two purposes: one was to practice their cultivation and improve their level, and the other was to find Demon Beast materials and Spiritual Medicines to exchange for Silver Taels.

If they could obtain an extraordinary treasure, they would surely receive a hefty sum of silver.

The strong youth, being the oldest, was the most composed. He carefully sensed the movement of the Yuan Qi and said, "The Yuan Qi is so agitated; this will likely attract Demon Beasts. It's too risky for just the three of us. Why don't we return to Snow Valley first and ask a few more senior brothers to accompany us?"

"But with such a huge commotion, there might be other Martial Artists nearby…" The thick-browed youth looked in the direction where the Yuan Qi was surging, seeming reluctant to leave.

The attractive girl considered it for a moment. "Senior Brother Lu, why don't we go check out the situation? If it's too dangerous, we can give up. How about that?"

The strong youth was also itching to obtain the Spiritual Medicine. He seemed to make up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Alright. Let's all be careful, especially you, Junior Brother Wang Hai. Be absolutely cautious!"

"I know, Senior Brother Lu. I wouldn't dare gamble with my own life!" laughed the thick-browed youth, Wang Hai.

"Then let's not delay! We'll head over there!" the strong youth ordered, then turned and sped in the direction of the Yuan Qi surge.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Wang Hai and Xu Qing followed closely behind. The three of them used their Light Martial Arts, cautiously moving towards the direction where the Yuan Qi was gathering.

Their speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they covered several miles and could already see the valley where Luo Feng was.

"Senior Brother Lu, what is that?" Xu Qing asked, her small face showing a trace of surprise as she stopped.

Several miles ahead, they could see a giant Yuan Qi vortex revolving between heaven and earth.

The rich Yuan Qi had turned into mist, rushing into the vortex at high speed. Even at this distance, they could feel the pure Yuan Qi; breathing it in was refreshing.

The two young men also stopped, their faces filled with shock as they stared at the Yuan Qi vortex before them.

This incredible sight made the hair all over their bodies stand on end.

"It seems like there's someone inside," Xu Qing said. Her eyesight was the best, and she pointed to the center of the Yuan Qi vortex.

Hearing her words, the two young men's expressions shifted. They focused their attention on the direction she indicated. In the hazy Yuan Qi vortex, they could faintly discern a figure.

They dare to cultivate here? What audacity! Wang Hai thought, licking his lips. Although this is the edge of the Blood Chronicle Wasteland, it's still very dangerous, especially at night when Demon Beasts roam. Ordinary people wouldn't choose to cultivate in the Blood Chronicle Wasteland, let alone at night.

The strong youth, Lu, thought for a moment, his face revealing shock. He said, "This commotion is so intense. I'm afraid it's a powerful expert of the Spiritual Rotation Realm! Let's leave and not disturb him."

Both Xu Qing and Wang Hai nodded.

Martial Artists' cultivation was most vulnerable to disturbances. They certainly didn't want to provoke this bold individual who dared to cultivate in the Blood Chronicle Wasteland.

Just as the three were about to leave, Xu Qing suddenly stopped, blocking the other two. "Wait! A Demon Beast is coming."

Good timing. Without Spiritual Medicine, slaughtering a Demon Beast wouldn't be too bad, Wang Hai thought, a cold look in his eyes as he unsheathed his sword.

"It's not just one Demon Beast…" Xu Qing shook her head, her delicate brows tightly knitted.

Noticing her expression, Lu realized something and asked, "How many Demon Beasts are there?"

Among the three, Xu Qing had the most sensitive perception. She peered into the pitch-blackness behind them, her gaze growing increasingly grave. "Ten… no, dozens… Such strong Demon Qi. I can't distinguish them all."

Actually, even before Xu Qing spoke, the other two young men had already sensed it.

The overwhelming Demon Qi approaching them felt like a large stone pressing on their chests; the heavy pressure made their breathing slow.

"Damn it! The turbulence of the Yuan Qi must have alerted the nearby Demon Beasts! We're dead for sure this time!" Wang Hai exclaimed, his face paling.

"Junior Sister, which direction has fewer Demon Beasts? We'll break out that way," Lu said, trying to calm himself.

Xu Qing glanced around, her small face deathly pale. In a trembling voice, she said, "I don't know… There are Demon Beasts everywhere…"

Hearing this, Lu's expression also changed, and he took a deep, cold breath.

Xu Qing clenched her fists, tears welling in her eyes. She sobbed, "Senior Brother Lu, are we going to die? I… I don't want to die yet…"

Lu turned his head and looked at the turbulent Yuan Qi vortex in the distance. He took a deep breath and declared, "We're going that way!"

"That way? What if we anger the senior who's cultivating?" Wang Hai gulped.

Lu gave a bitter smile. "Right now, we can only gamble on our luck. Hopefully, the senior who's still cultivating can save our lives. Let's go!"

Feeling the Demon Qi around them intensifying, Lu shouted and rushed forward. The other two exchanged a glance and immediately followed.

「In the valley.」

The Yuan Qi was almost boiling, constantly rushing into Luo Feng's body.

HUM!

Luo Feng's Dantian suddenly shook, and strange fluctuations spread out from it.

As if affected by an invisible force, the boiling Yuan Qi gradually calmed, finally retracting back into Luo Feng's body.

Luo Feng's body, which had been slowly rotating in mid-air, gently landed on the ground.

SWISH!

Luo Feng opened his eyes. Two bright beams, like lightning, burst forth, overflowing with sharpness.

Wherever his gaze reached, the air automatically parted as if split by a blade.

Standing up, Luo Feng felt something ready to burst out from within him. The sensation was very profound.

Could it be…? Luo Feng's eyes flickered. He recalled the Secret Manual's description of Grand Momentum. This feeling was very similar to a Minor Achievement of Great Trend.

Turning around, Luo Feng locked his gaze on a small hillside dozens of meters away. A fierce light flashed in his eyes. He formed a blade with his hand and slashed downwards.

A beam of blade energy erupted. In the dim moonlight, it reflected a cold glint, appearing almost solid and emitting an incredibly sharp aura, as if it could cleave the very heavens and earth.
