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

The aura of the seventh level of Qi Refining erupted completely, and Huang Yiming was surrounded by a rich dual-realm fusion energy—the purity of the spiritual energy of the fantasy world and the ferocity of the electromagnetic energy of the city. The two energies intertwined to form a powerful pressure that instantly broke through Xuan Yangzi's spiritual energy suppression array.

As the suppression of spiritual energy dissipated, the refugees and rogue cultivators within the village slowly rose to their feet. Their spiritual energy gradually recovered, and hope rekindled in their previously despairing eyes. Looking at Huang Yiming's retreating figure, their eyes were filled with admiration and awe, and they shouted, "Young Master Huang! Young Master Huang!"

Qin Yuling, Su Qingyue, and Yang Xiu also felt the suppression of spiritual energy disappear, and were overjoyed. They all circulated their spiritual energy to heal their wounds, and their auras quickly recovered. Qin Yuling, holding a long sword, saw her spiritual energy surge, and her Qi Refining Level 4 aura fully erupted as she charged towards the two early Foundation Establishment cultivators once again. This time, she no longer passively defended but actively attacked, her moves fierce and deadly.

Su Qingyue also repositioned her heavy sniper rifle, channeling the energy from the dual-realm fusion into the bullet, greatly increasing its power. She aimed at a low-level Qingyun Sect cultivator, pulled the trigger, and the bullet whistled out, instantly piercing the cultivator's spiritual energy barrier and striking his dantian, crippling his cultivation. The cultivator screamed and collapsed to the ground, completely incapacitated.

Hidden in the shadows, Yang Xiu's hidden spiritual root advantage became fully apparent. With the support of the fused energy of the two realms, her spiritual energy became increasingly pure, and the speed and power of her spiritual energy needles increased dramatically. She precisely released the needles, striking the acupoints of the Qingyun Sect cultivators, disrupting their spiritual energy and rendering them incapable of fighting, thus relieving Qin Yuling and Su Qingyue of considerable pressure.

Qin Hu felt the restoration of his spiritual energy and fully activated his body-refining technique, his body surrounded by a faint aura of spiritual energy. He gripped his pistol and fired wildly at the low-level cultivators of the Qingyun Sect, shouting as he fired, "Brother Ming, I'm here to help you!" Although his movements were still somewhat clumsy, his eyes were exceptionally firm, and every bullet was aimed straight at the enemy. Although there were occasional misses, he still managed to hit quite a few cultivators.

Xuan Yangzi hovered in mid-air, looking at the scene before him, his heart filled with shock and anger. He never expected that Huang Yiming could trigger the fusion of energy from two realms, break through his spiritual energy suppression array, and break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining in such a short time, with his combat power skyrocketing—this was completely beyond his expectations.

"Huang Yiming, who exactly are you? Why do you possess the ability to fuse two realms?" Xuan Yangzi's tone was icy, his eyes filled with apprehension. At this moment, he no longer dared to underestimate Huang Yiming: with his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining, coupled with the energy from the fusion of two realms and the assistance of firearms, his strength far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and was even approaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Huang Yiming's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone indifferent: "Who I am is none of your concern. You only need to remember that today you and the cultivators of the Qingyun Sect will remain here to pay a heavy price for your past actions!"

Having said that, Huang Yiming leaped into the air, his dual-realm fusion energy surging as he charged fiercely towards Xuan Yangzi. He didn't use a pistol, but instead relied on pure spiritual energy combined with the dual-realm fusion energy to unleash a punch, the wind whistling as it struck Xuan Yangzi with immense pressure.

Xuan Yangzi's eyes narrowed, and he dared not be careless in the slightest. His spiritual energy surged, and his late Foundation Establishment stage aura exploded. He unleashed a huge spiritual energy palm print to meet Huang Yiming's fist.

"Boom—"

Fist and palm collided, and a massive shockwave swept through the entire Yiming Village. The surrounding houses shook violently, debris flew everywhere, and the wind howled, even tearing the air apart. Huang Yiming swayed slightly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained resolute, showing no sign of retreat. The energy from the fusion of the two realms flowed continuously into his body, supporting his continued attack.

Xuan Yangzi was forced back by the shockwave, his chest aching, his blood churning, and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was filled with shock: his full-force attack had been intercepted by Huang Yiming, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he had even been suppressed by him.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Xuan Yangzi roared, his tone ferocious. He was unwilling to accept it—a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator had been suppressed and forced to retreat by a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining. If this matter were to spread, the Qingyun Sect Master's face would be completely ruined.

He once again swung his whisk, and countless streams of spiritual energy transformed into sharp blades that shot towards Huang Yiming. At the same time, he circulated all the spiritual energy in his body, preparing to unleash a high-level technique from the Qingyun Sect, intending to defeat Huang Yiming in one blow.

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold. Without dodging or avoiding, he used the fusion energy of the two realms around him to form a barrier to block the spiritual energy blades. At the same time, he leaped up and quickly approached Xuan Yangzi, throwing a punch that accurately struck Xuan Yangzi's chest. The fusion energy of the two realms instantly surged into Xuan Yangzi's body, disrupting his spiritual energy circulation.

"Ugh—" Xuan Yangzi groaned, his body trembling. His spiritual energy instantly became chaotic, and his late-stage Foundation Establishment aura weakened. He looked at Huang Yiming, his eyes filled with fear. He finally realized that he was no match for Huang Yiming at all; the opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations.

"Huang Yiming, I admit defeat! I am willing to hand over all the resources of Qingyun Sect, please spare my life! I will never dare to provoke you again, and I will never dare to covet Yiming Village again!" Xuan Yangzi's tone was panicked, his face was full of fear, and he had long lost his previous arrogance, only wanting to save his life.

Huang Yiming's eyes were icy, his tone indifferent: "Admit defeat? Admit defeat now? Too late! You wanted to raze my Yiming Village to the ground, you wanted to kill me and my men, you wanted to seize the secrets of the Dual Realms and the spiritual veins—I'm going to settle these scores with you one by one!"

Just as Huang Yiming was about to cripple Xuan Yangzi's cultivation and completely defeat him, a loud bang was suddenly heard. The gate of Yiming Village was smashed open by a powerful force, and a group of cultivators dressed in Black Stone Sect attire rushed in. The leader was none other than the remnant leader of the Black Stone Sect—a cultivator with the fifth level of Qi Refining, followed by dozens of menacing Black Stone Sect disciples.

"Sect Master Xuan Yangzi, don't worry, the Black Stone Sect is here to help you!" The leader of the Black Stone Sect laughed loudly, his tone extremely arrogant. "Huang Yiming, do you think you can defeat Sect Master Xuan Yangzi and defend Yiming Village by yourself? Today, the Black Stone Sect and the Qingyun Sect will join forces to raze your village to the ground, kill you, and seize the secrets of the Dual Realms and the spiritual vein!"

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold as he thought to himself: Sure enough, that confidant sent the signal, attracting the remaining forces of the Black Stone Sect. It seems that this great battle has not only not ended, but has become even more difficult.

Upon seeing the Black Stone Sect cultivators, Xuan Yangzi was overjoyed, and hope rekindled in his eyes. He quickly circulated his spiritual energy to heal his injuries, his tone equally arrogant: "Huang Yiming, what tricks do you have left? With the combined forces of my Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect, you are no match for them. You are doomed to die today!"

Qin Yuling, Su Qingyue, and Yang Xiu all stopped what they were doing and walked over to Huang Yiming. Their voices were grave: "Yiming, what should we do? The remnants of the Black Stone Sect have also arrived. We are being attacked from both sides, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them."

Huang Yiming gazed at the scene before him, his expression calm and unperturbed. He turned to the three women, his tone gentle yet exceptionally firm: "Don't worry, even if they join forces, I can defeat them. Today, I will thoroughly wipe out the remaining forces of the Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect, letting everyone know that Yiming Village is not so easily bullied!"

He paused, then continued his deployment: "Yu Ling, you lead the guards to defend the gate and prevent more enemies from breaking in; Qing Yue, use your heavy sniper rifle to target the two high-level cultivators and strike them precisely to contain their forces; Yang Xiu, use your hidden spiritual root to sense all enemy traces, find their weaknesses, and assist in the battle; Qin Hu, you lead a team of guards to contain the low-level cultivators and prevent them from interfering with us."

"Yes, young master!" the crowd responded in unison, turning to engage in battle. Huang Yiming watched their retreating figures, a resolute glint in his eyes—he knew the battle to come would be even more difficult, but he would never give up, and would fight with all his might to protect Yiming Village and everyone around him.

Xuan Yangzi and the leader of the Black Stone Sect exchanged a glance, then waved to signal the cultivators behind them to launch a full-scale attack on Huang Yiming and his group. The cultivators of the Azure Cloud Sect and the Black Stone Sect swarmed forward, the roar of colliding spiritual energy, the whistling of bullets, and screams echoing throughout Black Wind Ridge once more, marking the official outbreak of an even fiercer battle.

Huang Yiming leaped into the air, his dual-realm fusion energy surging, and charged towards Xuan Yangzi and the Black Stone Sect leader. He threw a punch at Xuan Yangzi and a kick at the Black Stone Sect leader, his moves fierce and deadly. Xuan Yangzi and the Black Stone Sect leader quickly joined forces to defend themselves, and the three instantly became entangled in combat. The collision of dual-realm fusion energy with late-stage Foundation Establishment spiritual energy and fifth-level Qi Refining spiritual energy created shockwaves that forced the surrounding cultivators to retreat.

Qin Yuling, wielding a longsword, engaged in fierce combat with early Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Qingyun Sect. With her exquisite swordsmanship and the added power of the fusion of two realms, she gradually gained the upper hand. She struck one of the early Foundation Establishment cultivators in the shoulder with her sword, disrupting his spiritual energy, and then followed up with a strike to his dantian, crippling his cultivation.

Su Qingyue, holding a heavy sniper rifle, precisely aimed at the Black Stone Sect leader and pulled the trigger. The bullet, carrying the energy of the dual-realm fusion, shot towards him. Sensing the danger, the Black Stone Sect leader dodged to the side, and the bullet struck a low-level cultivator beside him, killing him instantly.

Hidden in the shadows, Yang Xiu released spiritual energy needles that precisely struck the two cultivators, disrupting their spiritual energy and rendering them incapable of fighting, greatly aiding Huang Yiming and the others. Qin Hu, leading his guards, engaged in fierce combat with low-level cultivators. Although his cultivation was not high, he relied on body-refining techniques and a pistol to kill many low-level cultivators, growing stronger with each battle.

The battle intensified, with cultivators from both sects falling one after another. Huang Yiming and his companions gradually grew exhausted, their wounds multiplying, yet their eyes remained resolute, showing no sign of retreat. Huang Yiming was locked in combat with Xuan Yangzi and the leader of the Black Stone Sect. Although he was gradually gaining the upper hand, Xuan Yangzi was, after all, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the Black Stone Sect leader was a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator; their combined strength was still formidable. Huang Yiming gradually began to feel the strain, and the energy from the dual-realm fusion was rapidly depleting.

Just then, Huang Yiming suddenly noticed that Xuan Yangzi and the Black Stone Sect leader's eyes would unconsciously meet during their fight. Their moves seemed perfectly coordinated, but in reality, they were full of flaws—as if they weren't truly working together, but rather testing each other. Huang Yiming's mind was filled with doubt: Could there be some hidden conflict between them? And this question was soon answered.
