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

With a deafening thud, Elder Xuanzhen slammed his palm into the defensive formation of Yiming Village. The formation trembled violently, the cracks widened, and the pale white spiritual energy barrier gradually became transparent, threatening to shatter at any moment. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Elder Heilei manipulated his evil energy, transforming it into a black energy blade that slashed fiercely at the formation. With a crack, the formation shattered instantly, and the spiritual energy scattered in all directions.

"Hahaha, Huang Yiming, your death is near!" Elder Black Thunder chuckled sinisterly, leading dozens of cultivators towards the secluded cultivation chamber. Wherever their evil aura passed, the guards were blasted away, screaming in agony. Seeing this, Qin Yuling immediately rushed forward, her sword surging with spiritual energy as she fiercely thrust it towards Elder Black Thunder: "Don't even think about harming Yiming!"

"You think you can stop me, a mere Qi Refining Level 8 girl?" Elder Black Thunder sneered, and with a backhand strike, his evil energy condensed into a palm print that slammed into Qin Yuling. Qin Yuling had no way to dodge and was struck in the chest by the palm print. She staggered backward, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, her aura instantly weakening, but she still gripped her sword tightly and charged towards Elder Black Thunder once more.

Lingxi was anxious and exerted all her strength to circulate the power of her spiritual plants. The surrounding spiritual herbs grew wildly, transforming into thick vines that wrapped around Elder Heilei's ankles, attempting to stop him from advancing. Elder Xuanzhen's eyes flashed with impatience, and his spiritual energy surged in his palm as he slammed it down hard at Lingxi: "You ignorant Spirit Clan Saintess, how dare you get in my way!"

"Lingxi, be careful!" Seeing this, Ziyao immediately transformed into a purple streak of light and stood in front of Lingxi, taking the full force of Elder Xuanzhen's attack. The purple spiritual energy instantly dissipated, and she staggered backward, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Her beautiful face was pale, but she still smiled and said, "My young master has ordered that no one is allowed to harm Saintess Lingxi. If you want to pass, you'll have to get past me first!"

Yang Xiu led his guards and Spirit Clan disciples in a desperate resistance against the remaining cultivators. However, the enemy was numerous and powerful, and the guards suffered increasing casualties, while many Spirit Clan disciples were also injured, gradually pushing them to the brink of despair. Qin Hu wielded heavy weapons, firing wildly. Dual-realm energy bullets continuously pierced through the enemy's spiritual energy barrier, killing one cultivator after another. However, the enemy kept charging in, and the heavy weapons' energy was rapidly depleting.

"Brother Yang, we can't hold on much longer! There are too many enemies!" a guard shouted, his body covered in wounds and his breath weak. Yang Xiu gritted his teeth, channeling all the spiritual energy within him, and slashed fiercely at the cultivator charging at the front. After killing him, he shouted to the crowd, "Hold on, everyone! Our young master will soon complete his breakthrough. As long as we hold this place, we will definitely win!"

Just then, Su Qingyue's voice suddenly rang out, a shout filled with anxiety yet full of strength: "Don't panic, everyone, I'm here!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Su Qingyue leading several urban guards, driving an off-road vehicle into the fantasy world. The vehicle was loaded with a large number of heavy weapons and healing pills, and behind her were several cultivators who had rushed from the urban cultivation base, each with a powerful aura.

Su Qingyue quickly got out of the car, handed healing pills to the injured guards and Spirit Clan disciples, and said firmly, "Everyone, heal your wounds first, leave the rest to us!" As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up a modified rifle, used the energy of the dual realms to aim at the cultivator in the distance, pulled the trigger, and the bullet whistled out, instantly killing a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator and relieving the pressure on everyone.

"Qingyue, what brings you here? It's too dangerous here!" Lingxi exclaimed, her eyes filled with surprise and worry upon seeing Su Qingyue. Su Qingyue smiled, her tone still firm: "Yiming is in seclusion. I can't let him be distracted, and I can't let you face the danger alone. We'll protect Yiming Village together and wait for Yiming to break through!"

The four female protagonists stood side by side: Qin Yuling launched the main attack, Ling tide provided support, Zi Yao launched a sneak attack, and Su Qingyue used heavy weapons to restrain them from a distance. Their teamwork was seamless, their combat power instantly surging, forcefully blocking the attacks of Elder Xuanzhen and Elder Heilei. Qin Yuling gripped her sword, her spiritual energy surging, and fiercely thrust it at Elder Heilei, the dual-realm energy contained in the sword tip forcing him to retreat repeatedly; Ling Xi manipulated spiritual plant vines, binding Elder Xuanzhen's body and restricting his movements; Zi Yao seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, her fingertip energy blade piercing Elder Xuanzhen's dantian; Su Qingyue aimed at Elder Heilei and pulled the trigger, a dual-realm energy bullet shooting towards his brow.

Elder Xuanzhen and Elder Heilei's expressions changed drastically. They hadn't expected the four female protagonists to possess such formidable fighting power when they joined forces. Elder Xuanzhen struggled to break free from the vines, his palm energy surging, and he slammed it down on Ziyao. Ziyao had no way to dodge and was struck on the shoulder, staggering backward and aggravating her injuries. Elder Heilei dodged the bullet to the side and retaliated with a palm strike towards Su Qingyue. Su Qingyue had never cultivated immortality techniques and could only rely on the dual-realm energy talisman to defend herself. She was shaken and staggered backward, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Qingyue!" Huang Yiming's voice suddenly came from the secluded cultivation room, carrying a hint of anxiety and anger. Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that he had broken through, but the door of the secluded cultivation room remained tightly closed, and Huang Yiming's aura was still chaotic—clearly he was still in the critical period of breakthrough, and the voice just now was only produced by him forcibly circulating his spiritual energy.

Elder Xuanzhen sneered, his tone contemptuous: "Huang Yiming, you can barely protect yourself, yet you want to protect them? Today I'll kill your women first, then you, and let you taste a fate worse than death!" With that, his palm surged with spiritual energy, and he slammed it down fiercely towards Su Qingyue. Su Qingyue had nowhere to dodge and could only close her eyes and await death.

In the critical moment, a green energy barrier suddenly appeared, blocking Elder Xuanzhen's attack. The light from the Spirit Heart Pendant shone from the secluded cultivation room, enveloping Su Qingyue and protecting her within. Elder Xuanzhen was jolted back, his eyes filled with disbelief: "The Spirit Heart Pendant? I never expected this treasure to automatically protect its owner! It seems I must capture Huang Yiming as soon as possible and seize the Spirit Heart Pendant!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Elder Hei Lei led the cultivators towards the secluded cultivation chamber. Qin Yuling, Ling Xi, Zi Yao, and Su Qingyue tried their best to stop them, but their injuries were too severe and their spiritual energy was too depleted, making it increasingly difficult for them to resist. Yang Xiu and Qin Hu were also surrounded by cultivators and found themselves in dire straits. The guards and disciples of the Spirit Clan of Yiming Village suffered heavy casualties, leaving the village in a state of chaos, with blood staining the ground.

Inside the secluded cultivation room, Huang Yiming's aura grew stronger and stronger, and the barrier within his body was about to break through. Yet, he clearly heard the screams and sounds of fighting outside, knowing that everyone was fighting desperately for him, filling him with guilt and anger. He exerted all his strength, manipulating the power of the spiritual plant's origin, the energy of the dual realms, and the power of the Spirit Heart Pendant within him, fiercely impacting the barrier of the ninth level of Qi Refining—with a muffled "bang," a crack appeared in the barrier, but it still did not shatter.

Outside the stronghold, Elder Xuanzhen had broken through the four female protagonists' obstruction and arrived at the door of the secluded cultivation chamber. His palm surged with spiritual energy, and he slammed it down hard on the door: "Huang Yiming, let's see how long you can hide!" The door trembled violently, cracks appeared, and it looked like it was about to break. At this critical moment, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from inside the chamber, and Huang Yiming's voice resounded throughout the entire area, carrying an aura of dominance: "Anyone who dares to harm those around me is courting death!"
