Lu Feng shuddered at the voice and leapt to his feet in one swift motion. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuXBJNFUjY

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. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIV5zmri4A
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8YaLvLqex
*When did this old guy show up? How didn’t I notice?* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIvL4BlKzq
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNCl1IEKMX
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. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3s5vaoCPx
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2IX92f1wj
“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.” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaKXn36RjC
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqDf900eJK
*No harm? Are we playing* Among Us *here?* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4uSQ6hx3x
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK7OrQhbII
Lu Feng internally scoffed but kept his tone respectful. “What guidance do you offer, Senior?” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOMOB8wK1i
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzGMcbaC0A
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.” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFogalw0TL
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hDmw5MFRx
Lu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r335vYGHf
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2By0eYaUSM
*This old man knows his stuff!* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYaY4jFxOp
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwt6nmuCJS
He’d instantly recognized the Shadowfang’s value and the nature of this place. No ordinary wanderer, this. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QAl8F8obr
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSOFTDpmki
“You flatter me, Senior,” Lu Feng demurred, his mind whirring. *What’s his angle?* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rZBVTCM5U
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqfn0aBSrv
“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.” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eb6l2mlul
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTpy6XDq6
“Cultivation World? Overlord’s Domain?” Lu Feng’s thoughts churned. He’d suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed still shocked him. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn8m3PfPyB
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ALNQpYZPm
*This is straight out of a xianxia novel!* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0YEiLzH1V
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlc74gruAa
“Senior… how is this possible?” he blurted. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqvboM9ti0
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZHIfeAsjN
“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.” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoqRz1tmRr
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0BcW4Xnmd
*Worlds merging?* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxDJIBmdPh
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvhROf7euq
*Oh hell, this is apocalyptic!* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3kFTxEfn5
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WdXH8zGEw
Lu Feng felt like he’d stepped onto a powder keg. “What… what can we do?” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVhJfneg4Q
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIzOH3GQcA
“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.” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUMjY7eLQk
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEbA0FPAHS
Lu Feng nodded slowly, piecing together the rules of this strange reality. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rGZYXuk1w
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyG8iyY8Is
“Where do we find this Chaos Stone?” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH5jFwRUor
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZOnBux9cB
“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.” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsRJiYZhx6
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogFkgykO98
*Dusk Citadel.* The name itself whispered of secrets. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALqIhl3wYq
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8tzDrZzj2
“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.” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe6vbaEVKy
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KDMfMpsY3
“Thank you for the warning,” Lu Feng said earnestly. He knew the elder held back details, but options were scarce. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEwrI0Y7XF
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfcwXHm0LL
“Senior,” he pressed, “how long do these energy storms last?” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLh89vSJQm
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eOL4M9OyX
“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.” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9yujUeNnd
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA5GSJdrTV
*Trapped forever?* Lu Feng’s blood ran cold. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsJvk7NI5E
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aVPlCcVkV
*That’s worse than a 9-to-9 work schedule!* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCMJ0Wdny7
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxohpF1FaU
“My thanks, Senior,” he said, bowing. His resolve crystallized—reach the Dusk Citadel, establish a base. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsq5YeZZa5
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOuxQIbfQT
“You’re welcome, lad.” The elder smiled. “I’ve said all I can. The rest… depends on your fortune.” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgewlkVVaL
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s6Yq1XKI4
With that, he vanished—poof—into thin air. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWVHybyWIn
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y4smXygpS
*Teleportation?!* Lu Feng gaped at the empty space. *Just who* was *that?!* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfSYHWqiQD
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3xqeRBLEt
“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. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmTFMAZ8LA
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6FqdFpmbm
*With this… I’m basically hacking reality!* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK2CYfy95v

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. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3p3qoGohA
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h2ZPllcvG
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. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoqMlOK7Tz
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGkHMs57Wj
As the citadel loomed closer… 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZUJTsLTN0
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsSqY6xDXr
A nauseating stench hit—rotten flesh mingled with sulfur. Lu Feng gagged, tying a cloth over his nose. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEiKNwttep

*Did we stumble into Resident Evil?* 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbE0B9s7FU

Shadowfang’s fur bristled, eyes glowing sharp blue as a low growl rumbled in her throat. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eYPxiMOrO
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV6OOGpyqU
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. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0KOJ2BGYI
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7rH3kJLOR
“Stay sharp,” Lu Feng whispered, gripping his dagger—a gaming convention freebie turned lifeline. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIai6a6i8dG
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSsIbvFGVq
“Mrowl!” Shadowfang vanished into the shadows to scout. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwUrTwzefI
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgprzHdyg7L
A chill wind swept through. Lu Feng shuddered—the primal sense of being watched crawled over his skin. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOchJDVL3Js

Suddenly— 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL00LAV7Z7C
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8JFOaqDI7
“YEEEOOWWL!” 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE81YU8YoM
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO8OOgzTis
Shadowfang’s piercing cry echoed as darkness swallowed her. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JKsHQej72
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWticAOqGH
“SHADOWFANG!” Lu Feng lunged forward— 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg73IVuTUlK
