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

As the energy from the fusion of the two realms gradually dissipated, Huang Yiming's aura also became somewhat weak. While he was locked in combat with Xuan Yangzi and the leader of the Black Stone Sect, he kept a close eye on their every move, and his doubts grew stronger. Xuan Yangzi and the leader of the Black Stone Sect seemed to be cooperating tacitly and attacking him together, but in reality, their moves were full of restraints and lacked coordination, and they even deliberately created trouble for each other at crucial moments.

"Xuan Yangzi, are you even capable? Quickly strike and defeat Huang Yiming, or we'll all be doomed here!" the Black Stone Sect leader roared, his tone full of dissatisfaction. He had just been nearly hit by Huang Yiming's punch, and although Xuan Yangzi could have intervened to restrain him, he deliberately delayed, putting him in danger.

Xuan Yangzi snorted coldly, his tone indifferent: "Black Stone Sect leader, you have the nerve to talk to me like that? If you hadn't been so slow and held me back, we would have defeated Huang Yiming long ago. Why would we have waited until now?"

"I'm holding you back? It's clearly you who has ulterior motives, unwilling to go all out, wanting to reap the benefits without lifting a finger!" the Black Stone Sect leader retorted angrily. "Do you think I can't see through you? You have no intention of joining forces with me; you only want Huang Yiming and me to be severely injured so you can seize the secrets of the dual realms and the spiritual vein!"

Xuan Yangzi's eyes turned cold, his tone icy: "Since you've seen through me, I won't hide it from you anymore. The secrets of the Twin Realms and the spiritual veins rightfully belong to my Qingyun Sect. Your Black Stone Sect is nothing but a stray dog; do you even deserve to fight for them? Today, I will make you and Huang Yiming die here together, and the secrets of the Twin Realms and the spiritual veins will all be mine!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Yangzi suddenly turned around and unleashed a palm strike of spiritual energy at the Black Stone Sect leader. The palm strike was extremely fast and terrifyingly powerful. The Black Stone Sect leader had no time to defend himself and was struck hard in the chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground, his breathing instantly becoming disordered.

"Xuan Yangzi, how dare you ambush me!" The Black Stone Sect leader's eyes were filled with ferocity and uncontrollable rage. He never expected his opponent to suddenly turn against him. "You despicable man, I will definitely kill you!"

He struggled to his feet, his spiritual energy surging, unleashing the full power of a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, and charged towards Xuan Yangzi. The two instantly clashed, fighting mercilessly. Their initial alliance quickly turned into infighting, and the scene descended into chaos.

Huang Yiming hovered in mid-air, observing the scene before him. A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he thought to himself: Just as I expected. There was no real cooperation between them; they were only temporarily allied for their own interests. Once a conflict erupted, they would immediately turn against each other. This was undoubtedly a golden opportunity for him—he could reap the benefits and completely crush the remaining forces of the Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect.

"Brother Ming, they're fighting amongst themselves!" Qin Hu exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this. "Should we seize this opportunity to strike and completely crush them?"

Huang Yiming shook his head, his tone calm: "No rush. Let them fight amongst themselves and weaken each other first. We'll strike when they're both exhausted. That way, we can completely crush them at the lowest cost and reduce our casualties."

Qin Yuling, Su Qingyue, and Yang Xiu also stopped what they were doing, watching the infighting between Xuan Yangzi and the leader of the Black Stone Sect with eyes full of satisfaction. They knew that Huang Yiming's decision was correct—it would reduce casualties in Yiming Village and completely eliminate the remaining forces of the Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect, solving the problem once and for all.

Seeing their leaders fighting amongst themselves, the cultivators from the Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect also stopped what they were doing and fell into chaos: some continued to attack Huang Yiming and the others, while others began to fight each other. The original camps completely collapsed, the scene was chaotic, and screams and sounds of fighting were heard all the time.

The battle between Xuan Yangzi and the leader of the Black Stone Sect intensified, both fighting with all their might and showing no mercy. Xuan Yangzi, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, although injured and disoriented by Huang Yiming earlier, was still far stronger than the Black Stone Sect leader and gradually gained the upper hand. He unleashed punch after punch, forcing the Black Stone Sect leader to retreat repeatedly, his wounds multiplying and his aura weakening until he was on the verge of defeat.

"Xuan Yangzi, I am not reconciled!" The leader of the Black Stone Sect roared, his eyes filled with rage. He knew he was no match for Xuan Yangzi and was doomed to die today. He suddenly channeled all his spiritual energy, preparing to unleash a suicide attack, wanting to drag Xuan Yangzi down with him.

"Stubborn fool!" Xuan Yangzi sneered, his eyes icy. He gave the Black Stone Sect leader no chance, unleashing a powerful spiritual energy palm strike that accurately hit his dantian, crippling his cultivation. He then followed up with a punch to the chest. The Black Stone Sect leader let out a scream, collapsing to the ground, completely incapacitated and lifeless.

After dealing with the Black Stone Sect leader, Xuan Yangzi turned to Huang Yiming, his eyes still cold. Although his spiritual energy was somewhat disordered, his late-stage Foundation Establishment aura remained powerful. He said indifferently, "Huang Yiming, now that I've dealt with the Black Stone Sect, it's your turn! Today I will kill you and seize the secrets of the Dual Realms and the spiritual vein!"

Huang Yiming's lips curled into a cold smile as he replied indifferently, "Xuan Yangzi, you think you can defeat me by dealing with the Black Stone Sect leader? You're too naive. Your internal struggle with the Black Stone Sect leader just now consumed a lot of your spiritual energy; you're no match for me now!"

Having said that, Huang Yiming leaped into the air, and the energy from the fusion of the two realms around him surged once more—though much of it had been consumed, it was still powerful. He charged fiercely towards Xuan Yangzi, throwing a punch that whistled through the air and carried immense pressure as it struck his opponent.

Xuan Yangzi's eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless in the slightest. He channeled the remaining spiritual energy in his body and unleashed a spiritual energy palm print to meet Huang Yiming's fist. However, Xuan Yangzi's spiritual energy had been greatly depleted, and the power of his palm print had decreased significantly, making it impossible to withstand Huang Yiming's fist.

"Boom—"

As fist and palm collided, Xuan Yangzi was jolted back by the shockwave, coughing up blood in excruciating pain in his chest. His spiritual energy was completely disrupted, and even his late-stage Foundation Establishment aura weakened. He staggered to his feet, his eyes filled with fear and resentment as he looked at Huang Yiming.

"Huang Yiming, I'm not reconciled! I, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, actually lost to you, a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining. This is impossible!" Xuan Yangzi roared, his tone ferocious. He wanted to make a move but found that his spiritual energy was completely exhausted. He could only watch helplessly as Huang Yiming walked towards him step by step.

Huang Yiming walked up to Xuan Yangzi, looking down at him with icy eyes and a cold tone: "Xuan Yangzi, you've lost, utterly defeated. You wanted to raze my Yiming Village to the ground, seize the secrets of the Twin Realms and the spiritual veins, kill me and my men—today I will settle these scores with you!"

Just as Huang Yiming was about to cripple Xuan Yangzi's cultivation and completely eliminate him, he suddenly sensed a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation coming from afar, stronger than Xuan Yangzi's late-stage Foundation Establishment aura, and getting closer and closer—clearly, a high-level cultivator was rapidly approaching Yiming Village.

Yang Xiu immediately spoke, his tone grave: "Young Master, something terrible has happened! I sense a powerful surge of spiritual energy rapidly approaching. Their aura is even stronger than Xuan Yangzi's, and there's more than one of them. They must be high-level cultivators from the Qingyun Sect. They must have received Xuan Yangzi's signal and are coming to provide support!"

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold, and he secretly thought to himself that things were going badly: the high-level cultivators of the Qingyun Sect had actually arrived, and there was more than one of them. If they arrived, even if he defeated Xuan Yangzi, he would have a hard time dealing with them, and Yiming Village would be in dire straits once again.

Seeing Huang Yiming's expression, Xuan Yangzi revealed a ferocious smile, his tone arrogant: "Huang Yiming, don't be so smug! I've already sent a signal to the high-level cultivators of the Qingyun Sect. They'll be here soon, and you'll be dead for sure. Yiming Village will be completely razed, and the secrets of the Twin Realms and the spiritual veins will still belong to my Qingyun Sect!"

Huang Yiming stared at Xuan Yangzi, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes. He knew he couldn't delay any longer; he had to deal with Xuan Yangzi as soon as possible before preparing to face the high-level cultivators from the Qingyun Sect who were coming to reinforce him. He raised his hand and unleashed a burst of dual-realm fusion energy, aiming straight for Xuan Yangzi's dantian, intending to cripple his cultivation and eliminate him completely.

Just then, the spiritual energy fluctuations in the distance grew stronger, and it was clear that the high-level cultivators of the Qingyun Sect were getting closer and closer to Yiming Village. Huang Yiming was anxious; if he was even a step later, it would be too late. What he didn't know was that among the high-level Qingyun Sect cultivators coming to his aid was someone he hadn't expected—this person's appearance would completely change the course of the battle and uncover a secret buried for many years: that person was actually his own elder brother, who had been adopted by the Qingyun Sect years ago and was missing. Xuan Yangzi was merely a pawn in his hands. The energy of the two realms suddenly surged, and Huang Yiming's dual-realm fusion power resonated faintly. A battle concerning bloodlines and destiny had begun.
