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

The smoke of battle gradually dissipated, and the setting sun cast its golden rays upon the ruins, creating a desolate scene. Huang Yiming leaned against Yang Xiu; after taking the elixir, his spiritual energy gradually recovered, and his physical weakness was alleviated considerably. The five women surrounded him, their faces weary but still bearing smiles. After this fierce battle, they had finally defeated the invasion of the Tianyan Sect and the Demon Clan, temporarily protecting the city.

"Yiming, how are you feeling? Is your spiritual energy recovering well?" Su Qingyue walked to Huang Yiming's side, gently stroking his shoulder, her eyes full of heartache. "It's all my fault. I didn't protect the city well, and you suffered so much and were so badly injured."

Huang Yiming shook his head, took Su Qingyue's hand, and said gently, "Silly girl, it's not your fault. You did very well. If you hadn't held the position and used equipment and weapons to buy time, I wouldn't have been able to get back in time, let alone defeat them. It's my fault for getting you injured and making you worry."

Yang Xiu also gently comforted him, "My lord, please don't blame yourself too much. You have done everything in your power to protect us and the people of both realms. We have all seen it and remember it. Now, please rest well and recover your spiritual energy. We will handle the rest."

Lingxi gently leaned against Huang Yiming, releasing the power of her spiritual plants to channel spiritual energy into him, and said softly, "Yiming, I'm using the power of my spiritual plants to help you recover. You'll be fully recovered soon." Qin Yuling and Ziyao nodded in agreement, "Yes, Yiming, you can rest assured. We'll go clean up the battlefield and set up defenses to prevent the enemy from invading again."

Huang Yiming nodded, his heart filled with warmth. He knew that with these five girls by his side, he had the confidence and strength to overcome any crisis, no matter how great. "Alright, then thank you for your hard work. Qingyue, you're injured, so rest well and don't overexert yourself. Let Yuling and Ziyao handle the defense deployment."

"I'm fine, Yiming. My injuries have healed a lot and I can still manage." Su Qingyue shook her head, her tone firm. "The spatial passage is unstable, and high-level demon cultivators are about to arrive. We cannot afford to be complacent. We must deploy defenses as soon as possible, activate all energy interference devices, and reinforce the spatial rifts to prevent the enemy from intruding again."

Huang Yiming understood Su Qingyue's personality; once she made a decision, she wouldn't easily change it. So he could only nod and say, "Then you must be careful, don't force yourself, and tell me immediately if anything happens."

"Okay, I understand." Su Qingyue smiled gently, nodded, and then turned to go with Qin Yuling and Zi Yao to the vicinity of the spatial rift to deploy defenses, activate energy interference devices, and reinforce the spatial rift. Yang Xiu stayed behind to take care of Huang Yiming, supplying him with pills to help him recover his spiritual energy; Ling Xi continued to manipulate the spiritual plants to clean up the battlefield, purify the evil energy in the air, and protect the safety of civilians.

Near the spatial rift, Su Qingyue, Qin Yuling, and Zi Yao led soldiers and Anti-Yan Alliance disciples to quickly deploy defenses. Su Qingyue personally operated the energy interference equipment, adjusting parameters to disrupt the spatial rift with all her might, attempting to stabilize the passage and prevent the rift from expanding; Qin Yuling led soldiers to set up defensive formations near the rift, placing heavy weapons and preparing for battle; Zi Yao led Anti-Yan Alliance disciples to patrol and search the surrounding area to prevent any remaining Tianyan Sect disciples or demon cultivators from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"Qingyue, how's the energy interference equipment being adjusted? Has the spatial rift stabilized?" Qin Yuling walked to Su Qingyue's side and asked in a serious tone. Su Qingyue shook her head, her brows furrowed: "Not yet. The rift is still fluctuating greatly. The equipment can only temporarily suppress it, not completely stabilize the passage. Moreover, I can feel that the unknown high-level demonic aura is getting closer and closer, and it probably won't be long before it arrives."

Zi Yao added in a deep voice, "Yes, the evil energy around us is getting stronger and stronger. High-level demon cultivators will soon break through the cracks and enter the city. We must strengthen our defenses and prepare for battle as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

Su Qingyue nodded, her tone firm: "Alright, let's speed things up. I'll adjust the equipment again to stabilize the cracks as much as possible; Yuling, you continue setting up the formation and increasing patrols; Ziyao, you lead the disciples to thoroughly investigate potential hazards, and notify us immediately if you find anything unusual."

"Yes!" Qin Yuling and Zi Yao responded in unison and immediately took action. Su Qingyue continued to operate the equipment and adjust the parameters, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. After the previous fierce battle, her injuries had not fully recovered, and operating the equipment for a long time made her breathing increasingly disordered, and her face grew paler and paler.

Just then, a dark figure emerged silently from the shadows, moving swiftly and exuding a strong aura of evil—it was a remnant disciple of the Tianyan Sect who had narrowly escaped. He had been hiding in the shadows, and seeing Su Qingyue operating the equipment alone and her aura weakened, he seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, intending to kill Su Qingyue to avenge the Tianyan Sect.

"Su Qingyue, prepare to die!" The dark figure sneered, flashing behind Su Qingyue, his evil weapon aimed directly at her back, moving with lightning speed. Su Qingyue was focused on adjusting the equipment and had no idea of ​​the danger behind her. Danger.

"Qingyue, watch out!" Ziyao was the first to spot the dark figure and cried out in alarm, trying to rush forward to help, but the distance was too far, and it was too late. Qin Yuling also sensed the danger, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately rushed towards Su Qingyue, but she still couldn't reach her in time.

Hearing the cry of alarm, Su Qingyue's heart sank. She tried to turn and dodge, but it was too late—the evil weapon was about to strike her back. At that critical moment, a golden figure instantly appeared behind her, raising a hand and striking the shadowy figure heavily in the chest. The shadowy figure screamed, spitting out blood, its body flying backward, instantly dead.

Su Qingyue turned around and saw Huang Yiming standing in front of her, his face pale and his aura weak. He had obviously forced himself to use his spiritual energy to come and help. "Yiming, why are you here? Weren't you resting?" Su Qingyue's eyes were full of surprise and heartache, and she quickly helped him up.

Huang Yiming hugged Su Qingyue tightly, his eyes filled with lingering fear and tenderness, his voice trembling: "Qingyue, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well, I put you in danger again... I swear, from now on, I will never let you suffer any harm again, I will never let you be in danger again, even if it costs me my life, I will protect you!"

It turned out that Huang Yiming sensed Su Qingyue was in danger while resting and, despite his own weakness, forcefully channeled his spiritual energy to rush to her aid. Fortunately, he arrived in time to save Su Qingyue; had he been any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"I'm fine, Yiming, I'm really fine, don't worry." Su Qingyue leaned against Huang Yiming's chest, her eyes filled with gratitude, and tears streamed down her face. "Thank you, Yiming, thank you for saving me."

Qin Yuling and Ziyao rushed over, and seeing that the two were unharmed, they finally felt a huge weight lifted from their shoulders. Qin Yuling asked with concern, "Yiming, how are you? Did you forcefully activate your spiritual energy and worsen your injuries?"

Huang Yiming shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just that my spiritual energy was too depleted. I just need to rest for a bit. Luckily, I managed to save Qingyue in time, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."

Zi Yao said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect there were still remnants of the Tianyan Sect hiding in the shadows. It seems our investigation wasn't thorough enough. We need to intensify our investigation and completely eliminate all remaining forces. We must not give them another chance to launch a sneak attack."

Huang Yiming nodded, his tone firm: "Alright, immediately intensify the investigation and thoroughly eliminate the remaining forces. Qingyue, don't push yourself any further, go and rest immediately. Leave the equipment debugging and defense deployment to me, Yuling, and Ziyao."

"I won't rest, Yiming, I can still hold on." Su Qingyue shook her head, her tone equally firm. "The spatial rift is not stable yet, and the high-level demon cultivators are arriving soon. I can't rest. I have to work with you to deploy defenses, protect the city, and protect both worlds."

Huang Yiming knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he could only nod: "Okay, then you must do what you can. If you feel unwell, tell me immediately. Don't force yourself."

Afterwards, everyone continued to deploy defenses and intensify their search efforts to eliminate any remaining forces. Huang Yiming, despite his weakness, worked with Qin Yuling and Zi Yao to set up defensive formations and investigate potential threats; Su Qingyue continued to operate the energy interference device, adjusting parameters to stabilize the spatial rift; Yang Xiu and Ling tide arrived with pills and medicine to provide support, supplying everyone and treating the wounded soldiers.

Just as everyone was busy, a system notification suddenly sounded: [A high-level demon cultivator has been detected. They have broken through the spatial rift interference and arrived at the outskirts of the city. Their combat power is extremely strong, suspected to be in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. They are rapidly heading towards the spatial rift. At the same time, the spatial channel is fluctuating again, and an even larger spatial rift is rapidly forming.]

Everyone's expression changed drastically, their eyes filled with solemnity. A high-level demon cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm! And an even larger spatial rift! This was undoubtedly an unprecedented crisis—even if Huang Yiming recovered his peak combat power, and with the support of the five women and the dual-realm allied forces, it would be difficult to cope. But they did not back down; their eyes were firm, and they held only one belief in their hearts: to fight side by side, to defend the two realms together, and never give up!

The arrival of a mid-stage Golden Core demon cultivator intensified the fluctuations in the spatial passage, and a larger spatial rift was forming, ushering in an unprecedented crisis.
