Traveling Between Two Worlds: From Bread for Maids to Fantasy Overlord

Qin Yuling's scream was like a needle piercing Huang Yiming's heart. Without a second thought, he leaped forward, raised his heavy sniper rifle, aimed at the Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounding her, and pulled the trigger. The armor-piercing round, carrying tri-colored spiritual energy, whistled through the air, accurately striking one of the cultivators' dantian. The cultivator screamed and collapsed on the spot, his cultivation completely shattered.

Upon seeing this, the other Foundation Establishment cultivator and the Black Stone Sect elder turned around, their eyes fixed on Huang Yiming with sinister intent. The elder, dressed in a black robe, was surrounded by surging black energy, exuding a powerful aura; he was a peak mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. He toyed with Qin Yuling's sword, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Huang Yiming, you really came. Saves me the trouble of looking for you. That little girl Qin Yuling has some backbone, refusing to reveal your whereabouts even at the cost of her life. Today, I will kill both of you and seize the token and the secret of the teleportation!"

"Release Yu Ling!" Huang Yiming roared, channeling all his spiritual energy and the power of the token into his sniper rifle, causing the gun to glow with a burst of three-colored light. He pulled the trigger repeatedly, unleashing a barrage of armor-piercing rounds at the Black Stone Sect elder. The elder waved his sleeve, erecting a black energy barrier. The bullets struck the barrier with deafening roars, causing it to tremble violently, yet it remained unbroken—the spiritual energy barrier of a peak mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator was far more robust than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Qin Yuling struggled to her feet, picked up the short sword from the ground, and walked to Huang Yiming's side. Her voice was weak but firm: "Yiming, I'm fine. Be careful. He's very strong. Ordinary armor-piercing bullets can't hurt him at all." Her wounds were still bleeding, and her face was pale, but her eyes remained firm. She didn't want to hold Huang Yiming back.

Just then, Su Qingyue and Yang Xiu arrived. Su Qingyue pointed her pistol at another Foundation Establishment cultivator, while Yang Xiu circulated her spiritual energy, causing her short sword to glow white. She stood side by side with Qin Yuling, watching the Black Stone Sect elder warily.

"Looks like your reinforcements are all here." The Black Stone Sect elder sneered, his tone arrogant. "Unfortunately, even if the four of you join forces, you are no match for me. Today, I will slaughter you all, then massacre the Azure Cloud Sect, seize the third token, and fulfill the Demon Sect Master's request!"

The words had barely left his lips when the Black Stone Sect elder leaped at Huang Yiming. Black energy condensed into a long black blade, its blade radiating a chilling aura. Its speed was so great that Huang Yiming had no time to react. He dodged to the side, the blade grazing his chest and striking the tree trunk behind him—the trunk was instantly corroded and collapsed with a crash.

"Qingyue, Yangxiu, you two take Yuling and hold off that Foundation Establishment cultivator. I'll deal with this elder!" Huang Yiming shouted, taking out a homemade armor-piercing explosive bomb from his storage space, lighting the fuse, and throwing it at the Black Stone Sect elder.

Su Qingyue, Yang Xiu, and Qin Yuling acted immediately. Su Qingyue pulled the trigger, and the bullet, imbued with spiritual energy, shot towards the Foundation Establishment cultivator; Yang Xiu and Qin Yuling drew their swords and charged forward, engaging the cultivator in fierce combat. Yang Xiu's hidden spiritual root had just awakened, and his spiritual energy was pure; Qin Yuling's swordsmanship was superb. The two cooperated seamlessly, and although their cultivation was inferior to their opponent's, they were still able to barely restrain the cultivator.

The bomb exploded with a deafening roar, black energy intertwining with tri-colored light to create a powerful shockwave. The Black Stone Sect elder was struck by the shockwave, letting out a muffled groan and staggering back two steps, a crack appearing in the black energy barrier. Huang Yiming seized the opportunity, raising his heavy sniper rifle, aiming at the crack, and pulling the trigger. The armor-piercing round, imbued with his spiritual energy, whistled through the air.

With a sharp crack, the black energy barrier shattered completely. The Black Stone Sect elder spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly from the backlash of the shattered barrier. His eyes were fixed on Huang Yiming with a sinister glint, his voice crazed: "Impossible! How could a mere Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator like you break my barrier? I'll take you down with me!"

The elder circulated his spiritual energy, causing a surge of black energy around him, intending to burn his cultivation and perish together with Huang Yiming. Huang Yiming's eyes remained calm as he gripped the three mid-grade tokens in his hand, pouring all his spiritual energy into them—the tokens emitted a dazzling tri-colored light and flew towards the elder.

The tri-colored light enveloped the elder, instantly suppressing the black energy. His spiritual energy became chaotic, and his plan to burn his cultivation was interrupted. The elder screamed and staggered back two steps. Huang Yiming seized the opportunity, stepped forward, raised his heavy sniper rifle, aimed at the elder's dantian, and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit precisely, and the elder screamed again as his cultivation completely collapsed. He fell to the ground, lifeless.

On the other side, Su Qingyue, Yang Xiu, and Qin Yuling also joined forces to defeat the Foundation Establishment cultivator. Qin Yuling walked to Huang Yiming's side, nestled in his arms, and said with a wronged tone, "Yiming, I'm sorry, I couldn't protect myself and almost caused you trouble. Many disciples of the Qingyun Sect were killed by the people of the Demon Sect and the Black Stone Sect, and Elder Li Xuan was also besieged in the sect leader's secluded cultivation place, in a very dangerous situation."

Huang Yiming gently patted her back, his tone tender: "It's not your fault, Yuling, you've done very well. We'll go rescue Elder Li Xuan now and save the Qingyun Sect—only in this way can we unite with the Qingyun Sect to jointly deal with the Demon Sect's crisis."

The four quickly ran towards the main hall of the Qingyun Sect, seeing many corpses of Qingyun Sect disciples and cultivators engaged in fierce battle along the way. Upon seeing this, Huang Yiming and the others immediately came to their aid, killing cultivators from the Demonic Sect and the Black Stone Sect to rescue the Qingyun Sect disciples. The Qingyun Sect disciples, seeing this, were greatly encouraged and followed Huang Yiming and the others towards the main hall.

Upon arriving outside the main hall, they saw Elder Li Xuan surrounded by dozens of cultivators. His spiritual energy was weak, and his body was covered in blood; he was in dire straits. Leading the group was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Demonic Sect, surrounded by dense black energy, and holding a mid-grade token in his hand. He was the Demonic Sect spy that Lin Feng had mentioned earlier.

"Elder Li, we're here to save you!" Huang Yiming shouted, raising his heavy sniper rifle and pulling the trigger, the bullet flying towards the demonic cultivator. The demonic cultivator reacted extremely quickly, waving his hand to deflect the bullet with a burst of black energy, turning it into white smoke instantly.

Elder Li Xuan's eyes flashed with a light when he saw Huang Yiming and the others. His voice was weak as he said, "Young Master Huang, thank you for coming to our rescue. The people from the Demonic Sect and the Black Stone Sect attacked the Azure Cloud Sect, killing many of our disciples. They also tried to seize the third token—luckily, I hid it."

The demonic cultivator sneered, his tone arrogant: "Huang Yiming, you killed so many of our disciples and crippled the Black Stone Sect elder. Today I will kill you, seize the token, and massacre the Qingyun Sect!" He waved his hand, signaling the other cultivators to rush towards Huang Yiming and his group.

"Fight side by side, defend Qingyun Sect, and kill these traitors!" Huang Yiming shouted, raising his heavy sniper rifle and beginning to fire. Su Qingyue, Qin Yuling, Yang Xiu, and the Qingyun Sect disciples also joined the fray, engaging the cultivators in fierce combat. Gunshots, sword clashes, and screams mingled, creating chaos outside the main hall of Qingyun Sect.

Huang Yiming used his firearms and the power of his three tokens to continuously kill cultivators; Yang Xiu's hidden spiritual root unleashed its powerful strength, its pure spiritual energy allowing each sword strike to hit a cultivator's vital points; Qin Yuling's swordsmanship was superb, and together with Su Qingyue's firearms, she restrained several cultivators; Elder Li Xuan also joined the battle despite his injuries, using his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation to kill several low-level cultivators.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the cultivators from the Demonic Sect and the Black Stone Sect were either killed or fled in disarray, and the crisis for the Azure Cloud Sect was finally resolved. Elder Li Xuan walked to Huang Yiming's side, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said in a respectful tone, "Young Master Huang, thank you for saving us. If it weren't for you, the Azure Cloud Sect would have been wiped out today. From now on, the Azure Cloud Sect is willing to join forces with you to deal with the crisis of the Demonic Sect and protect the peace of both realms."

Huang Yiming nodded, his tone calm: "Elder Li, there's no need for such formalities. Protecting the peace between the two realms is my duty. Now we must find the third token as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen the defenses of the Qingyun Sect to prevent the remnants of the Demon Sect and the Black Stone Sect from making a comeback. In addition, I would like to trouble you to help me find Qin Yuling's sword, find out the remaining spies within the Qingyun Sect, and completely eliminate any potential threats."

"Don't worry, Young Master Huang, I will definitely do my best to help you." Elder Li Xuan nodded in agreement and immediately arranged for his disciples to search for Qin Yuling's sword and investigate any spies.

Huang Yiming looked at Su Qingyue, Qin Yuling, and Yang Xiu beside him, his eyes gentle yet resolute. He knew this battle was only the beginning; the crisis facing the Demonic Sect was not yet resolved, the remnants of the Black Stone Sect were still lurking, and the protection of the trade route between the two realms required even more strength. But he was no longer alone. With the companionship and support of these people around him, he was confident that he could overcome all crises and safeguard the peace between the two realms.

Just when everyone thought the crisis at Qingyun Sect was over, Elder Li Xuan's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, "Oh no! The third token is missing! I clearly hid it in the secret room, how could it be gone? Could there be even more hidden spies within Qingyun Sect?"
