Lu Feng shuddered at the voice and leapt to his feet in one swift motion. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKgrfYy3GY

*Holy crap!* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2j4L2cqFI
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIVFWFVMBl
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. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD4pgt5veJ
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcank7Zosa1
*When did this old guy show up? How didn’t I notice?* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrb1zLUDy6
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VCeD6KVj2
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. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QHGq9yRZl
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJFSoTX8kc
“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.” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYNkUR9sOq
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV8xYwcCCZ
*No harm? Are we playing* Among Us *here?* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iykojePQF
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskJ3YNqwRC
Lu Feng internally scoffed but kept his tone respectful. “What guidance do you offer, Senior?” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpCjBCHB14
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQPvexeNXG
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.” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FmAssI6cV
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiCOihCdTA
Lu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjIo2dOoSe
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnJ2CqZz2g
*This old man knows his stuff!* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPNkXl8zWS
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWCuMgrusB
He’d instantly recognized the Shadowfang’s value and the nature of this place. No ordinary wanderer, this. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmgeYPMnGE
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXkLSutZNI
“You flatter me, Senior,” Lu Feng demurred, his mind whirring. *What’s his angle?* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxrXqZa1XG
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU0Wyje8dR
“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.” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6tD9WRTjo
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx47XPo8UyH
“Cultivation World? Overlord’s Domain?” Lu Feng’s thoughts churned. He’d suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed still shocked him. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZOHP8xMQ3
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF9btIFgej
*This is straight out of a xianxia novel!* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzywUAM3fc6
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22xVXbGHQF
“Senior… how is this possible?” he blurted. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfIvVdOE04
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7wcWShR2O
“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.” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRdC6kIV8E
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmXHy9lbMG
*Worlds merging?* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhZGbBf7hX
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8C0L5upTW
*Oh hell, this is apocalyptic!* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDDGdMRClK
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr29Q4MVSr
Lu Feng felt like he’d stepped onto a powder keg. “What… what can we do?” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu6r8iw4Rw
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tIBqLju7j
“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.” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyFkuEnA6N
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mm1aZwmE6
Lu Feng nodded slowly, piecing together the rules of this strange reality. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw1zrFLEaA
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugiwLgBvXe
“Where do we find this Chaos Stone?” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG7hJieupO
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw4CON4fYN
“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.” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNWFmGBQNT
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4bGPpeDIo
*Dusk Citadel.* The name itself whispered of secrets. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwzpcdBMgH
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvGIxKdjOQ
“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.” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcsQne1vuW
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9dlq9N9gi
“Thank you for the warning,” Lu Feng said earnestly. He knew the elder held back details, but options were scarce. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjzsbMiWIK
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4W0RfmQa5
“Senior,” he pressed, “how long do these energy storms last?” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83IvxY64Yp
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnxtZ9vZQW
“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.” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3T8x7kmJS
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVe31pbKk3
*Trapped forever?* Lu Feng’s blood ran cold. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqyfeGLrNq
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QDY5PEbBK
*That’s worse than a 9-to-9 work schedule!* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe76jfaUy5K
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESf5ahyL3R
“My thanks, Senior,” he said, bowing. His resolve crystallized—reach the Dusk Citadel, establish a base. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RRLcE9CNi
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb10c28Qq1
“You’re welcome, lad.” The elder smiled. “I’ve said all I can. The rest… depends on your fortune.” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTMeq3YoTg
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ2NYWy2xH
With that, he vanished—poof—into thin air. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfE9s5JKqX
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wyys6A5SO
*Teleportation?!* Lu Feng gaped at the empty space. *Just who* was *that?!* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnVu9b0pSK
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLslHQNJojo
“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. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKa8aJHhBn
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkBXrZdOKw
*With this… I’m basically hacking reality!* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGHyUmk96D
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3xcocN5OK
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. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtHbrioEYX
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSYR7SEjeS
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. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LSh85fFgW
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYlGxMst50
As the citadel loomed closer… 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGtjnVcdEW
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUKaCHA4vz
A nauseating stench hit—rotten flesh mingled with sulfur. Lu Feng gagged, tying a cloth over his nose. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUnMm5wSo5
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cdx8hWlNS
*Did we stumble into Resident Evil?* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV05SHPPcy
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMO4XwxgDf
Shadowfang’s fur bristled, eyes glowing sharp blue as a low growl rumbled in her throat. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY01Or2anOG
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5DNeQSdY1
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. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK4YEzN7sp
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFNyj3rQcn
“Stay sharp,” Lu Feng whispered, gripping his dagger—a gaming convention freebie turned lifeline. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTn89gv5uS
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQERJ6GcKpb
“Mrowl!” Shadowfang vanished into the shadows to scout. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8PffeJUC
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbiQyzkcy9
A chill wind swept through. Lu Feng shuddered—the primal sense of being watched crawled over his skin. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuAdH0HwYC
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdIEFHNmVY
*This place reeks of death.* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrDNZHpKiy
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY9qvMYc9N
Suddenly— 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tf6jORAef
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKKM3XUmnK
“YEEEOOWWL!” 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nghEeDwl9
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxCdRMoBgD
Shadowfang’s piercing cry echoed as darkness swallowed her. 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW3sDkkMsi
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJoCUiXgDr
“SHADOWFANG!” Lu Feng lunged forward— 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl9C7Q3fWf
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzAWufyTJn
*THOOM.* 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdITfvZS9Xh
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7RQCNncdI
The ground quaked. From the gloom, two blood-red eyes slowly opened…
