Lu Feng shuddered at the voice and leapt to his feet in one swift motion. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdv4OhbENs

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. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaiKTYD9Xm
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMqPN6MP3k
*When did this old guy show up? How didn’t I notice?* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVykpIOFUY6
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpBpYTKdyu
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. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtuUhK6fG5
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjnf0DrDIw
“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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLMxbAuRh1
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0mFbxToql
*No harm? Are we playing* Among Us *here?* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNPH7ejNGI
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlJVSiX1PU
Lu Feng internally scoffed but kept his tone respectful. “What guidance do you offer, Senior?” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDsVyVXoYL
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabLQZMP6hL
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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4gtb3dQxE
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2OFjaY4QU
Lu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQuf0MKvKV
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QbEQS1RtB
*This old man knows his stuff!* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNls98OCFc
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUguFIeTp9Y
He’d instantly recognized the Shadowfang’s value and the nature of this place. No ordinary wanderer, this. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS7frMb4vD
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIVjblia13
“You flatter me, Senior,” Lu Feng demurred, his mind whirring. *What’s his angle?* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVRbP03pHV
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91jkPbI7YY
“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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMoDTxdfSL
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vo0XV1ZZh
“Cultivation World? Overlord’s Domain?” Lu Feng’s thoughts churned. He’d suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed still shocked him. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSaSCeMm3j
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jp1d7ljqT
*This is straight out of a xianxia novel!* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHjz5cRHGf
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeDtgm6Ot0
“Senior… how is this possible?” he blurted. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2FTIiuL5e
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlZNqSDp3X
“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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou6PCqtQMm
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ225uiSjrZ1
*Worlds merging?* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUyuUgcaRa
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAQ7wqijP9
*Oh hell, this is apocalyptic!* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I17gDANHN
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc8vdhqD4i
Lu Feng felt like he’d stepped onto a powder keg. “What… what can we do?” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmr1EjtgYj
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIeAmvJEte
“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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0fTKgS7O
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMpAUNMgvr
Lu Feng nodded slowly, piecing together the rules of this strange reality. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpErRI6yasR
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVsAGNntYH
“Where do we find this Chaos Stone?” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6uMQUTjw7
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknUlRHyHEi
“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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmDZxkk1MW
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKG45IRHnf
*Dusk Citadel.* The name itself whispered of secrets. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC1VptIdkZ
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8GT3eppka
“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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmHhzadtBm
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznAlylGLN5
“Thank you for the warning,” Lu Feng said earnestly. He knew the elder held back details, but options were scarce. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQQyIFXP9J
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrFOH285dn
“Senior,” he pressed, “how long do these energy storms last?” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOEeNHDYnJ
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPHpCy73SY
“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.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDikXRdShG
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkqNroGWAg
*Trapped forever?* Lu Feng’s blood ran cold. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6e7ZTxDHN
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlRzllRoLo
*That’s worse than a 9-to-9 work schedule!* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvvDrgrYhP
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rLCgcQ2gW
“My thanks, Senior,” he said, bowing. His resolve crystallized—reach the Dusk Citadel, establish a base. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorDMSjJfVM
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY4oa0CmqQ
“You’re welcome, lad.” The elder smiled. “I’ve said all I can. The rest… depends on your fortune.” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnqHvzrB8u
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuTTmny4vH
With that, he vanished—poof—into thin air. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH3vEmdfef
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5YAMvaGWo
*Teleportation?!* Lu Feng gaped at the empty space. *Just who* was *that?!* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIUEkKjfc0
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrUZzLTlzk
“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. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe2lgZtsd1
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7789cqnND
*With this… I’m basically hacking reality!* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJfhf3yHsy
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkdFrfw2D0
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. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlyVFpeXRp
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIG7sP5DKF
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. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpujvCbqU
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsxmjdsTZC
As the citadel loomed closer… 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDyZTisBc6
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFlLpnUho2
A nauseating stench hit—rotten flesh mingled with sulfur. Lu Feng gagged, tying a cloth over his nose. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gdh9sl8Z4
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPM2wYtrwS
*Did we stumble into Resident Evil?* 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnjZjGp3R7
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpriOu8rG4c
Shadowfang’s fur bristled, eyes glowing sharp blue as a low growl rumbled in her throat. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeOZE94MRr
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ221HCGXjeQ
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. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PeVtKlXBb
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLjVgKC4un
“Stay sharp,” Lu Feng whispered, gripping his dagger—a gaming convention freebie turned lifeline. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZnb8V07qY
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUu6RZiZ6
“Mrowl!” Shadowfang vanished into the shadows to scout. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LMqaK10xc
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fxeDocxvJ
A chill wind swept through. Lu Feng shuddered—the primal sense of being watched crawled over his skin. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOtuBZQzPL

Suddenly— 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡess3Zklb1Z
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3vvbhzN61
“YEEEOOWWL!” 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVrEtgUjU8
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4D2FOQvqk
Shadowfang’s piercing cry echoed as darkness swallowed her. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzmVxGZ7Fz
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaRZDVDNkt
“SHADOWFANG!” Lu Feng lunged forward— 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbrsx8c4bh
