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

The Spirit Clan elder coughed up blood, his eyes coldly fixed on Ling Hao: "Ling Hao, you traitor! The Spirit Clan has treated you well, yet you colluded with the Black Stone Sect, betrayed the sect, and harmed your clansmen. You will be punished by heaven sooner or later!" Ling Hao sneered and kicked the elder in the chest. The elder screamed in agony, his body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, unable to move again.

"Divine retribution? In my opinion, following the Black Stone Sect to seize the Spirit Clan's treasures and improve our cultivation is the right path." Ling Hao spoke arrogantly, walking up to Ling Xi and reaching out to pinch her chin. "Ling Xi, you are the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, with extraordinary talent. If you submit to me and help me seize the Spirit Clan's spiritual veins, I guarantee you will enjoy wealth and glory, which is much better than being this down-on-her-luck Holy Maiden."

"You're dreaming!" Lingxi gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with contempt and anger. "Even if I die, I will never submit to you, you traitor, nor will I let you seize the Spirit Clan's treasures and spiritual veins!" She tried her best to circulate the remaining spiritual plant power in her body, wanting to break free from the chains, but the chains were imbued with evil energy, and the spiritual plant power could not budge them at all. Instead, she was devoured by the evil energy, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Ling Hao's face darkened, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "Since you refuse to cooperate, then don't blame me for being ruthless—I'll cripple your spiritual plant power first, and see how you can still be so stubborn!" He condensed a black evil aura in his palm and slammed it hard towards Ling tide's dantian.

"Stop!" A furious shout rang out. Huang Yiming could no longer restrain himself. He flashed forward, gathering dual-realm energy at his fingertips, and struck towards Ling Hao's back. Ling Hao reacted extremely quickly, sensing the attack from behind. He immediately turned around, his palm surging with evil energy, colliding with Huang Yiming's dual-realm energy. The energy collided with a deafening roar, and both men were forced back several steps.

"Huang Yiming? You actually came!" A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Hao's eyes, followed by a mocking smile. "It seems you really care about this little bitch. But with your Qi Refining Level 8 cultivation, you think you can stop me? You're simply overestimating yourself!" He had already inquired about Huang Yiming's cultivation level and was confident that he could easily crush him.

Seeing this, the cultivators of the Black Stone Sect quickly surrounded Huang Yiming, Qin Yuling, and Zi Yao. A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, hidden in a corner, slowly revealed himself. Dressed in black robes and wearing a mask, he exuded a powerful aura and spoke in a chilling tone: "Huang Yiming, you have ruined the Black Stone Sect's grand plan. Today, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"

Qin Yuling gripped her sword tightly, standing guard beside Huang Yiming, her expression wary—the strength of an early Foundation Establishment cultivator far surpassed theirs; victory would be virtually impossible. Huang Yiming, however, remained calm, looking at Zi Yao beside him and softly asking, "Zi Yao, can you handle him?"

Zi Yao chuckled, her eyes brimming with confidence: "Don't worry, young master. A mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator is nothing to me. Leave him to me; you can handle these small fry." Before she finished speaking, she flashed forward, rushing towards the early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Purple spiritual energy surged from her fingertips, directly suppressing the cultivator's pressure.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Who are you? How can you have such strength!" He had thought he was the strongest cultivator present, but he hadn't expected Zi Yao's strength to far surpass his. Zi Yao didn't answer, but instead increased the pace of her attacks. Purple spiritual energy rained down on her opponent like a storm, each strike carrying immense power, forcing him to retreat repeatedly, utterly powerless to retaliate.

"Brothers, charge! Kill Huang Yiming and Qin Yuling!" Ling Hao shouted upon seeing this, charging towards Huang Yiming first, his palm surging with evil energy, intending to kill Huang Yiming in one strike. Huang Yiming sneered, deliberately concealing some of his strength, pretending to be outmatched and retreating repeatedly, causing Ling Hao to lower his guard.

Seeing this, Ling Hao became even more smug and mocked, "Huang Yiming, I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're nothing special! Today I'll kill you first, and then deal with that little bitch Ling Xi!" His palm surged with evil energy again, and he slammed it hard towards Huang Yiming's chest. This strike was delivered with all his might, aiming to kill him in one blow.

Just as the evil energy was about to strike Huang Yiming, he suddenly unleashed his full power. His peak eighth-level Qi Refining stage spiritual energy, combined with the energy from both realms, condensed into a golden palm print that slammed towards Ling Hao. "What? You actually hid your strength!" Ling Hao's expression changed drastically. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. The golden palm print struck him hard in the chest. He screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, his aura instantly weakening.

Qin Yuling seized the opportunity to strike, drawing her sword and unleashing a fierce burst of spiritual energy. Each strike accurately hit the Black Stone Sect cultivators, killing several in a short time. The remaining Black Stone Sect cultivators were terrified and turned to flee, only to be ambushed and killed one by one by Huang Yiming and Qin Yuling.

On the other side, Zi Yao had completely suppressed the early Foundation Establishment cultivator. She condensed a stream of purple spiritual energy at her fingertips and precisely struck his dantian. The early Foundation Establishment cultivator screamed in agony as his dantian shattered, his cultivation destroyed, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to move. Zi Yao slowly walked up to him, her tone icy: "Dare to touch my young master? This is your fate."

After defeating all the enemies, Huang Yiming immediately rushed to Lingxi's side, using his dual-realm energy to shatter the chains and pull her into his arms. Lingxi leaned weakly against Huang Yiming's chest, her eyes filled with relief and tears: "Yiming, you've finally come! I knew you would come to save me."

"I'm sorry, Lingxi, I'm late. I'm sorry you had to suffer." Huang Yiming's tone was gentle as he gathered dual-realm energy at his fingertips and slowly poured it into Lingxi's body, nourishing her damaged meridians and dantian. Qin Yuling also stepped forward and handed Lingxi a high-grade healing pill: "Miss Lingxi, quickly take the pill and heal your injuries properly."

Lingxi took the pill and swallowed it, her complexion gradually improving. She looked at Linghao lying on the ground, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "Linghao, you traitor! You harmed your clansmen and colluded with foreign enemies! Today, I will cleanse the clan and avenge our fallen kin!"

Ling Hao struggled to stand up, but he was too weak to move. He looked at Ling Xi with fear and pleading in his eyes: "Ling Xi, I was wrong! I shouldn't have betrayed the sect and colluded with the Black Stone Sect. Please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again!" While pleading, he secretly glanced at the early Foundation Establishment cultivator beside him, hoping that the other party would come to his rescue. However, the cultivator had already lost all his cultivation and could not move at all.

Zi Yao walked up to Ling Hao, her tone mocking: "Traitor, now you know how to beg for mercy? When you were harming the Ling Clan disciples, did you never think this day would come?" She raised her foot, about to crush Ling Hao's dantian and completely destroy his cultivation.

"Wait!" Ling Hao suddenly shouted, a strange glint in his eyes. "Ling tide, Huang Yiming, don't kill me! I know a secret—a secret about the Spirit Clan's supreme treasure and spiritual veins! Also, the Black Stone Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect have completely reconciled. They are preparing to launch a fatal attack when Huang Yiming breaks through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, seizing Yiming Village and the Spirit Clan's secret realm!"

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold. He grabbed Ling Hao by the collar, his tone icy: "Are you telling the truth? The Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect have really reconciled? They really intend to attack me while I'm breaking through?" Ling Hao nodded frantically, his face filled with fear: "It's true! I overheard a conversation between the Black Stone Sect Master and the Qingyun Sect Master. I would never lie to you. Please spare my life, and I can tell you more about their schemes!"

Huang Yiming's heart sank—he hadn't expected that the Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect would put aside their grudges and join forces against him, especially at such a crucial moment in his breakthrough. This was undoubtedly an attempt to kill him. Ling Xi's expression also changed. She knew that Huang Yiming's opportunity to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining was right before him. If he were disturbed by the Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect, not only would his breakthrough fail, but he might also suffer a qi deviation, endangering his life.

Just as Huang Yiming was pondering whether to believe Ling Hao, Zi Yao's eyes suddenly sharpened as she looked into the depths of the secret realm, her tone grave: "Young Master, something bad has happened! A powerful surge of spiritual energy is approaching, even stronger than that early Foundation Establishment cultivator from before. It seems the Black Stone Sect has arrived!"
