Lu Feng shuddered at the voice and leapt to his feet in one swift motion. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUGhr6WRVB

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. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyg6bEP62O
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eUkrXrYvm
*When did this old guy show up? How didn’t I notice?* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gywVViR19
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqvvZKzX57
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. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WEHxALmuw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOb3bFrb8f
“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.” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cHWniePp8
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbSJS4KGvj
*No harm? Are we playing* Among Us *here?* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT85CPLOra
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WOxwi77Y6
Lu Feng internally scoffed but kept his tone respectful. “What guidance do you offer, Senior?” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOviKfAL0Dh
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh4OyaZxWQ
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.” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB88GempEbm
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyMWruiFFu
Lu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxUT9ImLpE
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX4EajDF2o
*This old man knows his stuff!* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVmRzAtwKW
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmACt2ZD6jp
He’d instantly recognized the Shadowfang’s value and the nature of this place. No ordinary wanderer, this. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFL4V3akrR
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8bVEOc1p7
“You flatter me, Senior,” Lu Feng demurred, his mind whirring. *What’s his angle?* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNaNbmnMMW
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbV0wqAI8g
“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.” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOtrRiqIdN
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvqa2VimRr
“Cultivation World? Overlord’s Domain?” Lu Feng’s thoughts churned. He’d suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed still shocked him. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUgYrytxqu
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5skBdvsigV
*This is straight out of a xianxia novel!* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv94l5xdi6L
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkltNflMKH
“Senior… how is this possible?” he blurted. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0unYPRBXvM
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyqyXJkeZX
“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.” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocTXop3dcc
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntulSouDJP
*Worlds merging?* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wVYVqlKzr
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Qf5a8klO
*Oh hell, this is apocalyptic!* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl4tukNUGU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr6yjHmgL8
Lu Feng felt like he’d stepped onto a powder keg. “What… what can we do?” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMG757ocQe
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjybF3QMnA
“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.” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSInixaqYlk
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeAz8IhGZR
Lu Feng nodded slowly, piecing together the rules of this strange reality. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ09sVFph0
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMJfKl9i8G
“Where do we find this Chaos Stone?” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9F9NPgxBF
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBzoN2KicN
“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.” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbBfMkqFAw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZM6QnK31p
*Dusk Citadel.* The name itself whispered of secrets. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1YYUX3rua
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8QWjMnuua
“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.” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG00nlI7dG
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbPAhD32uI
“Thank you for the warning,” Lu Feng said earnestly. He knew the elder held back details, but options were scarce. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bXRPC9G0t
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cEUMbuyem
“Senior,” he pressed, “how long do these energy storms last?” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75WXDUD43g
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tvtcbuih8
“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.” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMxxcxI6Nl
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIASRAfhJs
*Trapped forever?* Lu Feng’s blood ran cold. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8EUCXMzgD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaf6XRsTEi
*That’s worse than a 9-to-9 work schedule!* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIifDWhD95
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAIj8BEa4m
“My thanks, Senior,” he said, bowing. His resolve crystallized—reach the Dusk Citadel, establish a base. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikgeXHMXHs
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXowrlL9dzy
“You’re welcome, lad.” The elder smiled. “I’ve said all I can. The rest… depends on your fortune.” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrEeAM2ECY
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwrDD9bfYz
With that, he vanished—poof—into thin air. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSodlBpjF2h
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjS2AX8Z1A
*Teleportation?!* Lu Feng gaped at the empty space. *Just who* was *that?!* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ67lgiouP3
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj86usCnlt1
“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. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oqNnCUgIW
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiAdFyMZQn
*With this… I’m basically hacking reality!* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL7pO2R0q9
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOZ5iTyIiC
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. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt0TlHJwEV
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQen8FViUI
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. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTNqhQ2bo9
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DufnbY66v
As the citadel loomed closer… 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ7wtYm8kc
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90kdirPVY8
A nauseating stench hit—rotten flesh mingled with sulfur. Lu Feng gagged, tying a cloth over his nose. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhLkjkxreZ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ6uWismeu
*Did we stumble into Resident Evil?* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMDTvs6PIG
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaDUI6KGFy
Shadowfang’s fur bristled, eyes glowing sharp blue as a low growl rumbled in her throat. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjVlro1CcT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl66vdzON2W
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. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPbzAr9JL4
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMXipxQJYr
“Stay sharp,” Lu Feng whispered, gripping his dagger—a gaming convention freebie turned lifeline. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOoqcf7JjT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UBiSK1AmV
“Mrowl!” Shadowfang vanished into the shadows to scout. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvku4l9Fo69
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCpQCGhgz9
A chill wind swept through. Lu Feng shuddered—the primal sense of being watched crawled over his skin. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oEnw8sL2J
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTq3MbWuMr
*This place reeks of death.* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA6D6M1Q3L
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinQoCi0flX
Suddenly— 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qVRxOJ1TI
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvF0xFNWh6
“YEEEOOWWL!” 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPClU0WHMD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSgfkI8cPW
Shadowfang’s piercing cry echoed as darkness swallowed her. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yhhsOsDPN
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmIx8OtT1o
“SHADOWFANG!” Lu Feng lunged forward— 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5gHE1RtQn
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeHCpvSBsi
*THOOM.* 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRXJ5lGP0c

The ground quaked. From the gloom, two blood-red eyes slowly opened…8964 copyright protection28ＰＥＮＡＮＡhayV9hQXvn 維尼
