Lu Feng shuddered at the voice and leapt to his feet in one swift motion. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm0qwWiYlw

*Holy crap!* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0FKxTc3m9
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqa7DCuaJF
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. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZL0QoH9wp
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nn99FMZdY
*When did this old guy show up? How didn’t I notice?* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT4qM44xKK
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uanTQBBFf
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. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3dq6EGLzv
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD1YiQw4yY
“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.” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm6pOYpvu7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSoUxIOeDL
*No harm? Are we playing* Among Us *here?* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNHty1q70Y
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAVGEecWOJ
Lu Feng internally scoffed but kept his tone respectful. “What guidance do you offer, Senior?” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIhgU5c44D
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OZXnaGIaT
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.” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVzZZjIsqL
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXbxEwjgPa
Lu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Iar8Ec1a
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA4KFOpXTa
*This old man knows his stuff!* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39tzFCTHkY
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI76Wx2jfcq
He’d instantly recognized the Shadowfang’s value and the nature of this place. No ordinary wanderer, this. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdgM1w9F19
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDWAij1w3G
“You flatter me, Senior,” Lu Feng demurred, his mind whirring. *What’s his angle?* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt6hZcPZXw
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SoDWOKOpI
“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.” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w4S67XscE
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q2qCu4Y7X
“Cultivation World? Overlord’s Domain?” Lu Feng’s thoughts churned. He’d suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed still shocked him. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIm0P9Jh9e
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtetzBzLCD
*This is straight out of a xianxia novel!* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDF8eFzfZc
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEJaYf1C4p
“Senior… how is this possible?” he blurted. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIosFrbOKd
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh4TvdKha9
“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.” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79KbvbChBz
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZewy1f9nJN
*Worlds merging?* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lOaDPusn1
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwmt9DfYZn
*Oh hell, this is apocalyptic!* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6YUsoCiec
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi02IMpzmg
Lu Feng felt like he’d stepped onto a powder keg. “What… what can we do?” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ58HMj661
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKifcjfblRq
“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.” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL0f9mk1a8
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJpMsWocxc
Lu Feng nodded slowly, piecing together the rules of this strange reality. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo9MJgklPK
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNio0jWsbN8
“Where do we find this Chaos Stone?” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczTCBcP0F3
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclKmooHntz
“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.” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wLu4ggiJ2
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZBbNFvlqj
*Dusk Citadel.* The name itself whispered of secrets. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2RVii0gCx
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusdhPwcQYX
“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.” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3GQTnpQFn
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1jH4JGQ33
“Thank you for the warning,” Lu Feng said earnestly. He knew the elder held back details, but options were scarce. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ERZsX8uTe
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnj69zWry3
“Senior,” he pressed, “how long do these energy storms last?” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G1eEDF8gM
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTZfjBespv
“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.” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLNxXX4yHZ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UgM0WmaJq
*Trapped forever?* Lu Feng’s blood ran cold. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaN6dyo8CW
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfOfTAMadT
*That’s worse than a 9-to-9 work schedule!* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAStoY5XpSY
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJFXekHid1
“My thanks, Senior,” he said, bowing. His resolve crystallized—reach the Dusk Citadel, establish a base. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNpx3f0Wz9
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZz8PiXesE
“You’re welcome, lad.” The elder smiled. “I’ve said all I can. The rest… depends on your fortune.” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5b2r5FqSl
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6GVSS2Xbv
With that, he vanished—poof—into thin air. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WnvFNH32L
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYk2ni4mbB
*Teleportation?!* Lu Feng gaped at the empty space. *Just who* was *that?!* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPZ9df7i45
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99FSX5pVDx
“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. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqrcNQISNp
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmxl2Q7L87
*With this… I’m basically hacking reality!* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMP3M8PYAZ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCQOpLHuDh
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. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF9wTf84jh
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7biP68kZ
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. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwlmmRV6dV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iNdXqqvNt
As the citadel loomed closer… 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAszGlF6SR
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC0etUffl2
A nauseating stench hit—rotten flesh mingled with sulfur. Lu Feng gagged, tying a cloth over his nose. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLymaPA8D2n
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90kTMDQ70D
*Did we stumble into Resident Evil?* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgYS2Cf6mg
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0DohWbWwm
Shadowfang’s fur bristled, eyes glowing sharp blue as a low growl rumbled in her throat. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1j4yItnH0
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N0jd2PQQj
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. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCnOyDuAYQ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQh4tW09Ov
“Stay sharp,” Lu Feng whispered, gripping his dagger—a gaming convention freebie turned lifeline. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrd7Dd0pn
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJFtNyNwTH
“Mrowl!” Shadowfang vanished into the shadows to scout. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBuyJUiNfO
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KrFS8HFIz
A chill wind swept through. Lu Feng shuddered—the primal sense of being watched crawled over his skin. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rXkfELt6H
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE5MFUsv7w
*This place reeks of death.* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTqdaDtWYh
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9dgm8UA8S
Suddenly— 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS8pb0LInj
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuz9SJajy5
“YEEEOOWWL!” 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWIBQH0wQb
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhfNToyIBG
Shadowfang’s piercing cry echoed as darkness swallowed her. 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrL6rVJIgG
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2RLVmgEhb
“SHADOWFANG!” Lu Feng lunged forward— 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakvyMTsWzB
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEFtqnyPmu
*THOOM.* 30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhRr1HneZP
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXuE8GKLra
The ground quaked. From the gloom, two blood-red eyes slowly opened…
