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

As soon as Zi Yao finished speaking, heavy footsteps echoed from the depths of the secret realm, accompanied by a dense aura of evil. A powerful pressure swept across the entire area, even stronger than the pressure from the previous early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Huang Yiming shielded Ling Xi behind him, while Qin Yuling and Zi Yao stood on either side, their expressions wary as they looked towards the depths of the secret realm.

A group of cultivators dressed in black robes slowly emerged from the depths of the secret realm. Leading them was a middle-aged man, clad in a long black robe and wearing a black mask. He exuded the pressure of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, his eyes were cold, and his aura was powerful; clearly, he was a high-ranking cultivator from the Black Stone Sect. Behind him followed more than twenty cultivators, including two early-Foundation Establishment cultivators and the rest at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining. Their impressive entourage suggested they had come prepared.

"Ling Hao, you're a complete waste. You can't even handle this small matter properly, allowing Huang Yiming and the others to break in and kill so many of my Black Stone Sect disciples." The middle-aged man's tone was icy, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he looked at Ling Hao as if he were looking at a dead man.

Ling Hao trembled with fear, scrambling to his feet and kneeling before the middle-aged man, kowtowing repeatedly: "Elder Black Wind, I was wrong! I didn't expect Huang Yiming to arrive so quickly, and with such powerful help. Please spare my life! I've already told them the secret of the alliance between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Black Stone Sect; I can even help you deal with them!"

The middle-aged man known as Elder Black Wind sneered, his eyes filled with disdain: "Trash is trash. Keeping you around is useless. I might as well kill you as a warning to others." Before he finished speaking, he flicked out a black, evil aura from his fingertip, which accurately struck Ling Hao between the eyebrows. Ling Hao screamed and fell to the ground on the spot, lifeless.

After dealing with Ling Hao, Elder Black Wind turned to Huang Yiming and the others, his tone icy: "Huang Yiming, you ruined the Black Stone Sect's grand plan and killed my Black Stone Sect disciples. Today, I will tear you to pieces, seize the Spirit Clan's treasures and spiritual veins, and then raze your Yiming Village to the ground, making you pay a terrible price!"

Huang Yiming's eyes were icy cold. His spiritual energy circulated within him, unleashing the oppressive aura of a peak eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator. This aura clashed with Elder Black Wind's, causing ripples in the air. "Elder Black Wind, your Black Stone Sect colluded with traitors of the Spirit Clan, harming their disciples in an attempt to seize their treasures and spiritual veins! Your ambitions are boundless! Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and punish you evil cultivators!"

"Acting on behalf of Heaven? You, a piece of trash at the eighth level of Qi Refining, dare to speak such words in front of me?" Elder Black Wind laughed loudly, his eyes full of disdain. "I advise you to surrender obediently, and perhaps I can spare your life. Otherwise, I will not only kill you, but also your woman and destroy everything you have!"

"How dare you!" Huang Yiming roared, gathering dual-realm energy at his fingertips and charging towards Elder Black Wind. Zi Yao immediately followed, her fingertips surging with purple spiritual energy as she rushed towards a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Qin Yuling, meanwhile, protected Ling tide, vigilantly watching the surrounding Black Stone Sect cultivators to prevent them from taking the opportunity to ambush Ling Xi.

Huang Yiming and Elder Black Wind clashed instantly. The energy of the dual realms collided with the black evil energy, producing a piercing roar. The two fought fiercely, evenly matched. Elder Black Wind was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator with great strength and abundant spiritual energy. Although Huang Yiming was at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining and possessed the energy of the dual realms, he was still at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. He was struck several times by the evil energy, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Zi Yao was also locked in a fierce battle with the early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Although she was strong, her opponent was still an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it was not easy for her to win quickly. Qin Yuling, on the other hand, used her agile movements to deal with several Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators. Although she could barely keep up, she gradually became exhausted and suffered several wounds.

Lingxi watched the battle unfold before her, her heart filled with anxiety—she knew that if things continued like this, Huang Yiming and the others would eventually be defeated by the Black Stone Sect cultivators. She desperately tried to circulate the remaining spiritual plant power within her body to help Huang Yiming, but the spiritual plant power was almost exhausted. Not only could it not play a significant role, but it was also backfired by the evil energy, and her face grew increasingly pale.

Seeing this, Elder Black Wind's eyes flashed with smugness. He then intensified his attack, unleashing a torrent of black evil energy upon Huang Yiming. Huang Yiming retreated repeatedly, his wounds multiplying, and his aura gradually weakening. "Huang Yiming, you're finished. Give up resisting, and I'll give you a quick death!" Elder Black Wind mocked, gathering a powerful surge of black evil energy in his palm and slamming it down towards Huang Yiming's chest.

At this critical moment, Lingxi suddenly shouted and used all her strength to activate the Spirit Clan's supreme treasure—the Spirit Heart Pendant—within her body. The Spirit Heart Pendant instantly emitted a dazzling green light, enveloping the entire Spirit Clan's secret realm. Rich spiritual plant power emanated from it, nourishing Lingxi's damaged meridians and suppressing the evil energy on the Black Stone Sect cultivators.

Huang Yiming felt the power of the Spirit Heart Pendant and was overjoyed. His spiritual energy instantly surged, and his dual-realm energy also skyrocketed. He seized the opportunity to gather all his strength and slammed it hard into Elder Black Wind's chest—the golden palm print, carrying powerful spiritual plant power and dual-realm energy, instantly pierced through Elder Black Wind's evil energy barrier and struck his chest.

Elder Black Wind let out a miserable cry, his body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly weakening; he was clearly severely injured. He stared at the Spirit Heart Pendant, his eyes filled with greed and jealousy: "The Spirit Heart Pendant! I never expected it to be in your hands! If I obtain it, I can control the Spirit Clan's spiritual veins, break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, and become a top cultivator in the Xuanhuan Realm!"

Huang Yiming slowly walked up to Elder Black Wind, his eyes icy cold: "Don't even think about it! The Spirit Heart Pendant is a supreme treasure of the Spirit Clan; how dare you, a wicked cultivator, covet it? Today I will kill you and utterly extinguish your hopes!" He gathered dual-realm energy at his fingertips, about to strike Elder Black Wind, when the latter suddenly sneered, a strange glint in his eyes: "Huang Yiming, you think you've won? You're too naive!"

Before he could finish speaking, Elder Black Wind suddenly detonated his dantian, unleashing a powerful surge of evil energy that shot towards the core spiritual vein of the Spirit Clan's secret realm. "Oh no! He's going to destroy the Spirit Clan's spiritual vein!" Ling Xi's expression changed drastically, her eyes filled with terror—the Spirit Clan's spiritual vein was the foundation of the Spirit Clan. Once destroyed, the Spirit Clan would be utterly destroyed, and all Spirit Clan disciples would lose their foundation for cultivation, or even their lives.

Huang Yiming's heart tightened, and he immediately gathered his dual-realm energy to rush towards the evil energy, trying to stop it from destroying the spiritual vein. However, Elder Black Wind's power in detonating his dantian was too great, and Huang Yiming's dual-realm energy was simply unable to resist it. He could only watch helplessly as the evil energy rushed towards the spiritual vein and struck its core.

With a deafening roar, the Spirit Clan's secret realm trembled violently, cracks appearing in the ground. Dense spiritual plant energy leaked out from these cracks, replaced by a chilling, malevolent aura. The Spirit Clan's spiritual veins had been damaged by this malevolent energy, and if not repaired in time, they would soon sever completely.

Lingxi looked at the damaged spiritual veins, her eyes filled with tears. She tried her best to use the power of the Spirit Heart Pendant to repair them, but the power of the Spirit Heart Pendant was limited and could not stop the damage to the spiritual veins. "Yiming, what should we do? If the spiritual veins are destroyed, the Spirit Clan will be completely finished!" Lingxi's voice choked with sobs, her eyes filled with despair.

Huang Yiming looked at the damaged spiritual veins, then at Elder Black Wind lying lifeless on the ground, his heart burning with rage, yet utterly helpless. Zi Yao and Qin Yuling also walked to Huang Yiming's side, their expressions grave—the damage to the spiritual veins would not only lead to the annihilation of the Spirit Clan, but the power of the Spirit Heart Pendant would also gradually weaken, making it even more difficult for them to deal with the remaining Black Stone Sect cultivators.

Just then, Zi Yao's eyes suddenly narrowed as she looked towards the entrance of the secret realm. Her voice was grave as she said, "Young Master, something bad has happened! Another powerful surge of spiritual energy is approaching! This time, the aura is even stronger than Elder Black Wind's, and it's also mixed with the aura of a Qingyun Sect cultivator. It seems the people from the Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect have truly joined forces and arrived!"

Huang Yiming's heart sank. He hadn't expected the Qingyun Sect and the Black Stone Sect to arrive so quickly, and with even stronger cultivators. Now, with his spiritual veins damaged, Ling Xi severely injured, and himself, Zi Yao, and Qin Yuling all suffering varying degrees of injury, they had no chance of winning against the two sects. They were truly in a desperate situation. A desperate situation.
