Lu Feng shuddered at the voice and leapt to his feet in one swift motion. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme1qgs1IRI

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. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYdqWncmE3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAY4Kcnyzn
*When did this old guy show up? How didn’t I notice?* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TC0aG06bT
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA3PX6PyQJ
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. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmUTapAa1u
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTPMGtwcEX
“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.” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgXjyIUgDS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7rCWgc1Rw
*No harm? Are we playing* Among Us *here?* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppxFSUqKjQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvVosIrs9W
Lu Feng internally scoffed but kept his tone respectful. “What guidance do you offer, Senior?” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnvZPtqahl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL947qv0QSK
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.” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VS4QUxSMD
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qhpGiMNtb
Lu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwiuMy3TW2
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkypUnuc2HA
*This old man knows his stuff!* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcGdJ9ifRr
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9gMa1aMs2
He’d instantly recognized the Shadowfang’s value and the nature of this place. No ordinary wanderer, this. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJoxjZGD4i
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIX8VCZBQy
“You flatter me, Senior,” Lu Feng demurred, his mind whirring. *What’s his angle?* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH3iO4mKny
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB2EiMXQJW
“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.” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVb9EbhCoA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxR1WiLqTj
“Cultivation World? Overlord’s Domain?” Lu Feng’s thoughts churned. He’d suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed still shocked him. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGz46fDKii
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3aUHeijXw
*This is straight out of a xianxia novel!* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNEJeDOgDW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8AzOoBJpt
“Senior… how is this possible?” he blurted. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rginsCj0q
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI4fVuFoq7
“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.” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMO78qoDdM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyQYuGUPrh
*Worlds merging?* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ei1Vnkxg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre33Lvj3GH
*Oh hell, this is apocalyptic!* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC17G2JVlBc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPRxEdJNh8
Lu Feng felt like he’d stepped onto a powder keg. “What… what can we do?” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKH6JA1B52
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UTAWH2Fuh
“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.” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYexM7u68HH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjlZNGFWSO
Lu Feng nodded slowly, piecing together the rules of this strange reality. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYUOOg1GTN
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgMZNxJMAr
“Where do we find this Chaos Stone?” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ftTytHK3l
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9QOkaB17L
“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.” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Suovrg9K
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceKrHoFfUu
*Dusk Citadel.* The name itself whispered of secrets. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQn681CqnT
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7O7YqX8eD
“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.” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi91NlFgkV
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas0StnVI25
“Thank you for the warning,” Lu Feng said earnestly. He knew the elder held back details, but options were scarce. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6pC7Fae0o
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV6TFwVpGC
“Senior,” he pressed, “how long do these energy storms last?” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRecxkaLDwG
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVmyUcjlv6
“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.” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNWuEqP0WN
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIlAbkWakG
*Trapped forever?* Lu Feng’s blood ran cold. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkUq2LzOIc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhitI1YSjB
*That’s worse than a 9-to-9 work schedule!* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS4UBMWMfx
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOLlGjQy5v
“My thanks, Senior,” he said, bowing. His resolve crystallized—reach the Dusk Citadel, establish a base. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXzFNjGggc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIWPab3ohd
“You’re welcome, lad.” The elder smiled. “I’ve said all I can. The rest… depends on your fortune.” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPy9CuF71A
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hnMHMXlJE
With that, he vanished—poof—into thin air. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEGq53gjq3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuy4xwMK3c
*Teleportation?!* Lu Feng gaped at the empty space. *Just who* was *that?!* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs38TchB3za
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXbneNZ35d
“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. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAjBJGCfV5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEJUAXbp07
*With this… I’m basically hacking reality!* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EomreoR4v
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ338WH7rG
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. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR4jnuo1A1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TbXNPHYXP
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. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYYloDQ6SS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GIV12nuz2
As the citadel loomed closer… 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaTmoQ45IF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTI1G84rnX
A nauseating stench hit—rotten flesh mingled with sulfur. Lu Feng gagged, tying a cloth over his nose. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD7MOyfxUC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo904Dvxl2w
*Did we stumble into Resident Evil?* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVtGUvx3t2
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaePozl3t9
Shadowfang’s fur bristled, eyes glowing sharp blue as a low growl rumbled in her throat. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDFaPFLu5J
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShP2NjQm8f
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. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgURYSsrRp5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtz2hwzK2g
“Stay sharp,” Lu Feng whispered, gripping his dagger—a gaming convention freebie turned lifeline. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM2XAj0ozu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHSmoaYMIF
“Mrowl!” Shadowfang vanished into the shadows to scout. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayF8ugnyQZ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYx1vC7dpj
A chill wind swept through. Lu Feng shuddered—the primal sense of being watched crawled over his skin. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkprwS88FS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5RMF6fSDX
*This place reeks of death.* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXMyMEsocb
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ggPTpCVs
Suddenly— 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiqhYyagfW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcle1M3U3P
“YEEEOOWWL!” 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQk9NnbCFt
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ehCeIeVAv
Shadowfang’s piercing cry echoed as darkness swallowed her. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZHvz22y7o
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmFpTDZ3Pm
“SHADOWFANG!” Lu Feng lunged forward— 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqWG4cfl77
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0v69TtZ2G
*THOOM.* 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnZ6MoSESy

The ground quaked. From the gloom, two blood-red eyes slowly opened…8964 copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTzs25lQVh 維尼
