Lu Feng shuddered at the voice and leapt to his feet in one swift motion. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR0q0yB4vs

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. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnvOknQT7l
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBjK8AVuWH
*When did this old guy show up? How didn’t I notice?* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4VhGPlEf0
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5vtaMNx9Z
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. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yCk0oA1HW
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZbagGsaq9
“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.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZvAIFl21U
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSHoNFVOu1
*No harm? Are we playing* Among Us *here?* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRgMwC6ks1
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ddUgwJN8b
Lu Feng internally scoffed but kept his tone respectful. “What guidance do you offer, Senior?” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRl3NADRwR
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLs2tyWbvA
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.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxNBzZo2LL
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Lst9DgIl
Lu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPkXSLNhrI
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA1rX04efH
*This old man knows his stuff!* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3XpB9FvgU
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZb91sEZ16
He’d instantly recognized the Shadowfang’s value and the nature of this place. No ordinary wanderer, this. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHBna7LmRr
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rr9nPRbQi
“You flatter me, Senior,” Lu Feng demurred, his mind whirring. *What’s his angle?* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxvQJZtRlJ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS47f4YteZ
“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.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyp1J6AhdC
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gq7VMlqW8
“Cultivation World? Overlord’s Domain?” Lu Feng’s thoughts churned. He’d suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed still shocked him. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2cTIYzPUu
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAKvs38J0O
*This is straight out of a xianxia novel!* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd9ZP7faqG
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoLqOoAI3b
“Senior… how is this possible?” he blurted. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8w4Y0wV0e
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8k4UyUZm5
“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.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgATqB10ASf
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkzcyXjdio
*Worlds merging?* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4fjAK5QNq
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vyUtNcC4h
*Oh hell, this is apocalyptic!* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT84DecGL55
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxqRogBlI5
Lu Feng felt like he’d stepped onto a powder keg. “What… what can we do?” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebABqRFsBb
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QSQNi3moK
“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.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDxbFxQKyQ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnBSCrpOdp
Lu Feng nodded slowly, piecing together the rules of this strange reality. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1LqW2RgW5
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbCpMPTyt2
“Where do we find this Chaos Stone?” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2xz0btpCw
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTG7q2JhFB
“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.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwt2YS0nVY
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVNQgzO7uC
*Dusk Citadel.* The name itself whispered of secrets. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBGJ8OpFhI
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYhOdQgSpu
“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.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B5ZeujKlb
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2QHkeG2Cb
“Thank you for the warning,” Lu Feng said earnestly. He knew the elder held back details, but options were scarce. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT76T5ePAuw
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfHa3tm7Zi
“Senior,” he pressed, “how long do these energy storms last?” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm35Zs7bC1O
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuYHbmPEz4
“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.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhchohkkHO0
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pjc4Iu439
*Trapped forever?* Lu Feng’s blood ran cold. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0z87IQQ7k
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCKs8eZqdA
*That’s worse than a 9-to-9 work schedule!* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn7DQO8S0Y
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7DbX81hwX
“My thanks, Senior,” he said, bowing. His resolve crystallized—reach the Dusk Citadel, establish a base. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuyAmhU7OB
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSzftxPVW0
“You’re welcome, lad.” The elder smiled. “I’ve said all I can. The rest… depends on your fortune.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8gdqbJtQy
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoVUvbwgRY
With that, he vanished—poof—into thin air. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5srvMrMeQ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10jLOSJQWS
*Teleportation?!* Lu Feng gaped at the empty space. *Just who* was *that?!* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONc6zELC4K
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgdDX0BZC5
“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. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeGN6ixyVK
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgFD4333G0
*With this… I’m basically hacking reality!* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40n2oydmme
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujWoeb5dV2
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. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4zs2EZ6sY
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGtnPqYaRy
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. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFyOK9w028
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7auoqPZNHA
As the citadel loomed closer… 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeudwESZRMR
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YnJK1vaXm
A nauseating stench hit—rotten flesh mingled with sulfur. Lu Feng gagged, tying a cloth over his nose. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOUiNOnHZE
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo07UMSTl0
*Did we stumble into Resident Evil?* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPlu9r8JtO
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPlbRRaOaf
Shadowfang’s fur bristled, eyes glowing sharp blue as a low growl rumbled in her throat. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lh57xVVw2
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqJGbF2cbm
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. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ItiUEYnZ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYqBNdcHyq
“Stay sharp,” Lu Feng whispered, gripping his dagger—a gaming convention freebie turned lifeline. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW77NEv9uyI
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp93q5lTm2G
“Mrowl!” Shadowfang vanished into the shadows to scout. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepyOLbvJOA
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLjKL5V3Dv
A chill wind swept through. Lu Feng shuddered—the primal sense of being watched crawled over his skin. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIYcGfL5lu
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2BNUcHWZH
*This place reeks of death.* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ7eIl0vAd
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8S7pqi6Io
Suddenly— 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu1AjIJxfP
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktfREAFWGP
“YEEEOOWWL!” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2O7DGNM1J
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ZxJU1qPd
Shadowfang’s piercing cry echoed as darkness swallowed her. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip58VGhvAH
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5lhltxZvG
“SHADOWFANG!” Lu Feng lunged forward— 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6uFH6v8EW
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7xDjeGDft
*THOOM.* 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHAXFz65dO
