Lu Feng shuddered at the voice and leapt to his feet in one swift motion. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AAC5BBT6U

Who wouldn’t jump out of their skin when someone suddenly spoke up in this desolate, middle-of-nowhere place? Without thinking, he yanked the Shadowfang Cat in front of him as a shield, squinting warily over his shoulder. Standing a short distance away was an old man in coarse hemp robes, his hair and beard snow-white yet radiating vitality. The man’s smile carried an air of celestial grace, as though he’d stepped straight out of a myth. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfPsTkaybT
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5rwYKVQTS
*When did this old guy show up? How didn’t I notice?* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyjEKAjZku
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdxBTJ9buS
Lu Feng’s mind raced as he maintained his guarded stance. “Who… who are you?” he asked cautiously, scanning his memory for any recollection of the man. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Z8pNiZjP
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6WnU4xapr
“Haha, just an old wanderer passing through,” the elder replied, stroking his beard. “No need to tense up, young man. I mean you no harm.” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaadeXij5C
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaa08Bm2UW
*No harm? Are we playing* Among Us *here?* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn7pXXhaRT
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY0pykNe7e
Lu Feng internally scoffed but kept his tone respectful. “What guidance do you offer, Senior?” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81dRqvzOOg
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHEwAIa0Us
Instead of answering, the elder studied Lu Feng intently, then glanced at the Shadowfang Cat. “To subdue a spirit beast like this so soon after arriving in the interstice between worlds… your luck is extraordinary. This Shadowfang Cat is rare—swift, stealthy, a natural assassin. For it to bond with you… there must be something special about you.” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8watrdjsqr
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPLDsdTzBY
Lu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEKQ1REpTw
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeO1zr00bg
*This old man knows his stuff!* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUae4bFVIpo
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1cC3aJwqI
He’d instantly recognized the Shadowfang’s value and the nature of this place. No ordinary wanderer, this. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSemOhne03
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwy8wBks2A
“You flatter me, Senior,” Lu Feng demurred, his mind whirring. *What’s his angle?* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPkZLClzmo
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZN3OSr45w
“Modesty doesn’t suit you,” the elder chuckled, waving a hand. “You’ve surely realized this is no ordinary realm. It’s a convergence point between the Cultivation World, governed by spiritual energy, and the Overlord’s Domain, ruled by elemental forces. Their laws clash yet intertwine—opposites bound together.” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pbcmqhj8D
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ddkp2X9DG
“Cultivation World? Overlord’s Domain?” Lu Feng’s thoughts churned. He’d suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed still shocked him. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYVNNC6U5d
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdTPG19agI
*This is straight out of a xianxia novel!* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyK607xpyI
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tr1e2y1jT
“Senior… how is this possible?” he blurted. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdk0n08Up9
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C3fznAKB7
“A long story,” the elder sighed. “For ages, these worlds coexisted peacefully. But recently, the passages between them grew unstable. Energy storms erupt without warning. The ancient seal bridging them is failing—its power nearly spent. Should it collapse entirely, the worlds will merge. The consequences… none can predict.” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMIP4ZdD8C
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEu3paOl1c
*Worlds merging?* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwHCggHydj
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbLVTu9Ov6
*Oh hell, this is apocalyptic!* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIpr4fqiiN
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bRnTEfTRI
Lu Feng felt like he’d stepped onto a powder keg. “What… what can we do?” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzFIJIGyzc
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4LJlLnlfH
“There is a way,” the elder said gravely. “The seal can be repaired, but it requires vast energy and a unique material: Chaos Stone. It forms only in world-convergence zones and must be refined using both realms’ energies. Spiritual qi from cultivators, elemental forces from overlords—only their union can awaken its power.” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5epYcO8AiD
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr616BMOD3X
Lu Feng nodded slowly, piecing together the rules of this strange reality. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCe5q4G6kh
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLaJVZCkp5
“Where do we find this Chaos Stone?” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ9KYAEnHU
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLaZWQSt1k
“Heh.” The elder’s eyes glinted as he pointed toward distant twilight-shrouded peaks. “There lies the Dusk Citadel—a former trade hub between worlds. Ruined now, but clues may remain.” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPaTDW7q5u
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrcuhNZdDS
*Dusk Citadel.* The name itself whispered of secrets. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi7x1RS8tV
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYLkI8y1MK
“But be warned,” the elder’s voice turned grim. “The citadel’s ruins teem with powerful beasts and hidden dangers. Prepare thoroughly before venturing there.” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrN5zzmAvG
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNSkyu1Ohk
“Thank you for the warning,” Lu Feng said earnestly. He knew the elder held back details, but options were scarce. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xtWmZ1Egr
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Rk7cHw0q
“Senior,” he pressed, “how long do these energy storms last?” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEQ085V7l9
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9umiCt8FX6
“Unpredictable. Days, sometimes months. But as the seal weakens, they’ll grow fiercer and more frequent. You must secure a stronghold quickly—and grow stronger. Otherwise…” The elder’s gaze hardened. “You’ll be trapped here forever.” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD97f8JLCz
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUjraOVKeY
*Trapped forever?* Lu Feng’s blood ran cold. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡont41pRksj
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2bt9sYFdQ
*That’s worse than a 9-to-9 work schedule!* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHNuaW0Qr8
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuWAhbkVlm
“My thanks, Senior,” he said, bowing. His resolve crystallized—reach the Dusk Citadel, establish a base. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAsyNUZeHT
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1UfvYBhi9
“You’re welcome, lad.” The elder smiled. “I’ve said all I can. The rest… depends on your fortune.” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtioaNTtxl
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8YBEUDGUR
With that, he vanished—poof—into thin air. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyORHn5Dw7
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgEmjw5erK
*Teleportation?!* Lu Feng gaped at the empty space. *Just who* was *that?!* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdw2UB7ojg
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jD3qgFvdD
“Shadowfang! Move out!” He sprinted toward the citadel, the cat keeping pace. As they traveled, Lu Feng tinkered with his Derivation Simulator—a cheat-like tool that accelerated cultivation, mapped spirit-beast evolutions, and even designed cross-realm devices. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjfjZDi7Zu
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FB8rl4WjV
*With this… I’m basically hacking reality!* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhckyUYfq6
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGRreuXsis
He soon noticed the Overlord’s Domain’s time flowed 30x faster than the Cultivation World’s—30 days here equaled 1 day there. A massive advantage for power-leveling. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ACVdnVqR
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw6Uc6ZY3S
Meanwhile, Shadowfang adapted brilliantly. The clever feline mastered stealth and short-range teleportation, scouting ahead and handling minor threats. Their bond deepened into unshakable trust—comrades surviving this perilous interstice together. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjla0hMVtIc
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OIHx9M7lW
As the citadel loomed closer… 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqBhzRLeUp
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTLXKaiM1o
A nauseating stench hit—rotten flesh mingled with sulfur. Lu Feng gagged, tying a cloth over his nose. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKsBzoHp3A
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2bFYTdtUC
*Did we stumble into Resident Evil?* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxmu3auUEb
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4zADf5kBu
Shadowfang’s fur bristled, eyes glowing sharp blue as a low growl rumbled in her throat. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXGrX6VZXS
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZkZ8GEFDh
Lu Feng froze, scanning their surroundings. The Dusk Citadel’s silhouette against the blood-tinted dusk looked like a slumbering beast. Crimson mist veiled crumbling walls, reducing visibility to hazy outlines. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pBWshCtVd
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CVrQxgM1e
“Stay sharp,” Lu Feng whispered, gripping his dagger—a gaming convention freebie turned lifeline. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk3vXRkRXs
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAG0KVtYbX
“Mrowl!” Shadowfang vanished into the shadows to scout. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XL3R5HjTR
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAE5r7fYhN
A chill wind swept through. Lu Feng shuddered—the primal sense of being watched crawled over his skin. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Wpi4aYEs
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo0vysdrEY
*This place reeks of death.* 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYVRiSHrd
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wfJxU1OiH
Suddenly— 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz8YcuSPXe
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg9LdTHKO1
“YEEEOOWWL!” 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOF5UbKekA
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvTsewNw6w
Shadowfang’s piercing cry echoed as darkness swallowed her. 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ2QzTLDMu
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalvLFl1tON
“SHADOWFANG!” Lu Feng lunged forward— 50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa9fmHhD9l
