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

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The sky changed color, and a dense mixture of evil and spiritual energy swept through the city, causing everyone's hearts to tighten and their breathing to become labored. Mo Chenzi, the sect master of the Tianyan Sect, led two early-stage Golden Core cultivators, hovering in mid-air. He exuded the terrifying pressure of the Golden Core stage, staring coldly at Huang Yiming and the others below, a strange smile playing on his lips.

Two hundred demon cultivators followed closely behind, clad in black armor, wielding evil weapons, with ferocious faces and surrounded by a dense aura of evil. Upon landing, they quickly formed a formation, completely surrounding the commercial street. Huang Yiming and the others were surrounded in the center, their killing intent palpable.

"Huang Yiming, we meet again." Mo Chenzi sneered, his tone arrogant. "I didn't expect you to have managed to kill so many of my disciples and still hold onto this mortal city. You've certainly impressed me. But so what? Today, I'm leading Golden Core cultivators and the demon army to completely annihilate you, seize the system, and make this city, and indeed the entire two realms, my territory!"

Two early-stage Golden Core cultivators also released their oppressive auras, their tone disdainful: "Huang Yiming, you're nothing but a mortal cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment. No matter how strong your combat power, you can't withstand the pressure of us Golden Core cultivators. Today you are doomed, and your woman, along with these mortal ants, will all become our dead souls!"

The demon cultivators shouted in unison, their killing intent soaring to the heavens. The atmosphere along the entire commercial street instantly became incredibly oppressive, as if the end of the world was imminent. The soldiers at the military base, armed with heavy weapons, stood ready for battle, but they trembled and were unable to move due to the pressure from the Golden Core stage cultivators, their hearts filled with fear.

Su Qingyue, Yang Xiu, and Ling Xi were also suppressed by the pressure of the Golden Core stage, their auras disordered and their faces pale, but they still did not back down. They stood firmly beside Huang Yiming, their eyes resolute as they prepared for battle. "Yiming, we will fight with you. Even if we die, we will be with you!" Su Qingyue said softly, her tone firm.

Huang Yiming gently grasped the three women's hands, his eyes filled with warmth and determination: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. I will definitely protect you and this city. Mo Chenzi, you colluded with the demons and harmed the people of both realms. Today, even if I have to fight with all my might, I will kill you and completely destroy the Tianyan Sect!"

"Give it your all?" Mo Chenzi sneered, his tone disdainful. "You, a mere Foundation Establishment peak cultivator, dare to talk to me about giving it your all? What a pipe dream! Today I'll show you the difference between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage, and make you die willingly!"

After saying that, Mo Chenzi raised his hand and waved. A Golden Core stage cultivator flashed and instantly appeared in front of Huang Yiming. He released his Golden Core stage aura and rushed towards Huang Yiming. His palm wind was fierce and contained powerful spiritual energy, enough to instantly defeat a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

"Yiming, watch out!" the three women cried out in unison, trying to rush forward to help, but they were blocked by the demon cultivators and could not get close. Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold, and he circulated all his spiritual energy to condense a defensive barrier, while his figure flashed to avoid the attack. But the opponent was too fast, and the palm wind still hit his shoulder. Huang Yiming staggered back, spitting out blood, and his aura instantly weakened.

"Hahaha, Huang Yiming, you're nothing special!" The early-stage Golden Core cultivator laughed smugly, his tone arrogant. "So what if you're at the peak of Foundation Establishment? Before me, a Golden Core cultivator, you're nothing but trash, utterly vulnerable! Today I'll kill you first, then defile your woman, letting you taste a fate worse than death!"

Mo Chenzi sneered, his tone mocking: "Huang Yiming, do you think you can stop a Golden Core cultivator? Do you think these mortal ants you're protecting can help you? Give up, you're no match for us. Hand over the system obediently, and I might give you a quick death and spare your woman's life!"

Huang Yiming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a sly glint in his eyes. He feigned serious injury and weakness, staggering to his feet, his voice tinged with fear: "No, I can't hand over the system! I can't let you harm my women and civilians! I won't give up, even if it kills me!"

He knew that his peak Foundation Establishment level combat power would be insufficient to directly confront a Golden Core early stage cultivator. He could only use the strategy of feigning weakness to lure the opponent into lowering their guard, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack in order to have a chance of winning.

Seeing this, the early-stage Golden Core cultivator's disdain intensified, and he sneered, "Fight to the death? Do you have the right? Today I'll grant your wish and let you die a glorious death!" With that, the cultivator charged forward again, his palm striking fiercely towards Huang Yiming's chest, aiming for a fatal blow.

Just as his palm was about to strike Huang Yiming's chest, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his spiritual energy erupted instantly. At the same time, he activated the hidden function of the system, injecting spiritual energy from both the urban and fantasy worlds into his body. His combat power surged, far exceeding the peak of Foundation Establishment and approaching the early stage of Golden Core.

Huang Yiming dodged the opponent's palm by the side, and at the same time raised his fist, gathering spiritual energy from both realms to strike the opponent's dantian heavily. The early-stage Golden Core cultivator screamed in agony, his eyes filled with disbelief. His dantian was pierced, his Golden Core shattered, and his spiritual energy instantly dissipated. He fell from mid-air and died on the spot.

The entire arena erupted in uproar. Mo Chenzi and another early-stage Golden Core cultivator's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief: "Impossible! How can you possess such formidable combat power? You're clearly only at the peak of Foundation Establishment, how could you possibly pierce through the dantian of a Golden Core cultivator?"

The surviving civilians and security personnel cheered with joy, their eyes filled with surprise and admiration: "Mr. Huang, you're amazing! Mr. Huang, keep it up!"

Su Qingyue, Yang Xiu, and Ling Xi also smiled, their hearts finally half relieved. They knew that Huang Yiming had not disappointed them—he had successfully killed a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage by using the strategy of "playing dumb to catch a tiger," turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

Huang Yiming slowly stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his tone was arrogant: "Mo Chenzi, do you really think that those at the Golden Core stage are invincible? In front of me, Huang Yiming, even a Golden Core cultivator can be killed! Just now, I was merely feigning weakness to lure him into lowering his guard, all for this moment, to deliver a fatal blow!"

"You dare to play me?!" Mo Chenzi was furious, his eyes blazing with rage. "Huang Yiming, you're courting death! Today I will personally take action and tear you to pieces to avenge my disciple!"

Before he finished speaking, Mo Chenzi circulated all his spiritual energy, unleashing the full pressure of his Golden Core stage cultivation. Golden light surged around him as he charged towards Huang Yiming. His palm strikes were fierce, containing immense spiritual energy, making him several times stronger than the previous early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Huang Yiming's expression changed slightly—he knew that Mo Chenzi's combat strength far surpassed that of the previous cultivator, and even with his own combat strength greatly increased, he would find it difficult to confront him head-on. However, he did not back down. He dodged the attack in a flash, and at the same time, he took out his modified armor-piercing gun, aimed it at Mo Chenzi, and pulled the trigger.

The golden bullet, carrying spiritual energy from both realms, shot through the air and struck Mo Chenzi's spiritual energy barrier with pinpoint accuracy, instantly cracking it. Mo Chenzi staggered backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his breath slightly ragged: "I didn't expect you to possess such a weapon; it's quite a surprise." His eyes were cold, and his tone held a hint of apprehension.

Seeing this, another early-stage Golden Core cultivator immediately stepped forward to cooperate with Mo Chenzi, joining forces to besiege Huang Yiming. The two took turns attacking, their palm strikes fierce, and streaks of spiritual energy constantly shooting towards Huang Yiming. Huang Yiming was agile, dodging the attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack, using his armor-piercing spear and his own spiritual energy to continuously wear down his opponent's combat power.

Su Qingyue, Yang Xiu, and Ling tide also seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack: Su Qingyue controlled the energy cannon to bombard the demon cultivators; Ling Xi drove the spiritual plants to entangle the demon cultivators, creating an opportunity for Huang Yiming to counterattack; Yang Xiu continuously supplied pills and weapons to support Huang Yiming and the front-line soldiers.

After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, Huang Yiming gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, with several more wounds on his body and his aura weakening once again. Although Mo Chenzi and the early Golden Core cultivator had consumed a lot of spiritual energy and their auras had slowed down, they still held the upper hand, their killing intent undiminished, and continued to launch a fierce attack on Huang Yiming.

Just as Huang Yiming was about to give up, a system notification suddenly sounded: [Anomaly detected in the ancient time-traveling fragment. You can briefly borrow the fragment's power to boost your combat strength to the early Golden Core stage for 15 minutes. Activate now?]

Huang Yiming's eyes lit up, his heart filled with joy—this was his only chance! If he could activate the fragment's power and raise his combat strength to the early Golden Core stage, he could defeat Mo Chenzi and that cultivator, turning the tide of battle once more. He knew that using the fragment's power would consume a large amount of spiritual energy, leaving him weakened, but he didn't hesitate, immediately chanting in his mind, "Activate!"

Instantly, the ancient time-traveling fragment in Huang Yiming's hand emitted a rich, ancient aura, and a powerful force surged into his body. His combat strength instantly rose to the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and his body was surrounded by a golden-green interwoven spiritual energy. His oppressive aura was fully released, intimidating the entire audience.

Mo Chenzi and the early-stage Golden Core cultivator's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief: "Impossible! How could you suddenly break through to the early-stage Golden Core? This is absolutely impossible!"

Huang Yiming sneered, a murderous glint in his eyes: "Nothing is impossible. Today, I will use my Golden Core stage combat power to utterly annihilate you, destroy the Heavenly Evolution Sect, and make you pay a terrible price for your actions!"

Having said that, Huang Yiming flashed and instantly appeared in front of Mo Chenzi. He raised his hand and gathered the power of the two realms' origin, striking Mo Chenzi heavily in the chest. Mo Chenzi screamed, spitting out a large amount of blood. His body flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, his aura weakened, and cracks appeared in his golden core.

Huang Yiming's use of the fragment's power only lasts for a quarter of an hour, after which he will be weakened; Mo Chenzi was injured but not killed, another early-stage Golden Core cultivator is still putting up a fight, and the demon cultivators are also launching a frenzied counterattack.
