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

Su Qingyue's shoulder was still bleeding, and Huang Yiming carefully bandaged her wound. The gentleness in his fingers and the tenderness in his eyes warmed Su Qingyue's heart. Yang Xiu handed over healing pills, and Ling Xi released the power of her spiritual plants to aid in the healing process. Qin Yuling and Zi Yao vigilantly patrolled the surroundings, keeping a close watch on any remaining enemies. On the ruins, the figures of five women and one man formed an unbreakable defensive line.

Just then, the world suddenly changed color. A pressure far more terrifying than that of the early-stage Golden Core cultivator swept in from the direction of the spatial rift, instantly engulfing the entire city. Clouds churned, winds howled, building windows shattered, and the ground trembled slightly. Whether civilians or soldiers, everyone was overwhelmed by this pressure, struggling to breathe, trembling, and their faces filled with fear.

"What kind of pressure is this? It's terrifying..." A soldier's face was deathly pale, his weapon nearly slipping from his grasp, his voice trembling. "It's several times stronger than those two Golden Core cultivators from before!"

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically. He abruptly stood up, his spiritual energy instantly circulating, unleashing the full power of his peak Foundation Establishment stage aura in an attempt to resist the oppressive force. However, he was still forced to bend slightly forward, his heart filled with seriousness: "They are early Golden Core cultivators, and not just one, but at least three!"

As soon as the words were spoken, three golden figures sped out from the spatial rift, hovering in mid-air, surrounded by dense golden core spiritual energy, their imposing aura as heavy as a mountain—it was none other than Mo Chenzi, the sect master of the Tianyan Sect, and two early-stage golden core elders of the Tianyan Sect. Mo Chenzi still bore the marks of his previous injuries on his chest, his face pale, yet his eyes remained cold and filled with murderous intent as he stared intently at Huang Yiming and the others below.

"Huang Yiming, how dare you kill so many disciples of my Tianyan Sect and seriously injure me! Today, I will tear you to pieces, seize the system, and pay for this blood debt!" Mo Chenzi's voice was icy cold and piercing, echoing throughout the city, filled with endless rage and killing intent.

Two elders at the early Golden Core stage also released their oppressive auras, their tone disdainful: "Huang Yiming, you're nothing but a mortal waste at the peak of Foundation Establishment. You think you're invincible just because you managed to kill a Golden Core cultivator? Today, the sect leader will personally lead the team to turn you, your woman, and these mortal ants into ashes!"

The surviving civilians were terrified by the oppressive power of the golden core, cowering in corners, trembling, their cries and pleas mingling, plunging the entire city into panic. Cries of "Mr. Huang, save us!" and "Please, don't hurt us!" constantly reached Huang Yiming's ears.

Despite her injuries, Su Qingyue walked to Huang Yiming's side, held his hand tightly, and said firmly, "Yiming, don't be afraid. We will fight alongside you. Even if it's a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage, we will never back down!" Qin Yuling, Zi Yao, Yang Xiu, and Ling Xi also surrounded him, their eyes filled with determination and without the slightest fear—even in the face of the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator, they would never let Huang Yiming fight alone.

Huang Yiming looked at the five women beside him, then at the terrified civilians below. His fear vanished instantly, replaced by unwavering resolve and raging fury. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you, nor will I let the civilians! Mo Chenzi, you colluded with the demons, harming the people of both realms. Even if you bring Golden Core cultivators today, I will kill them all!"

After saying that, Huang Yiming raised his hand and shouted to the soldiers and Anti-Yan Alliance disciples behind him: "Everyone, listen up! Activate all defensive equipment immediately! Energy cannons and armor-piercing guns, aim them at the Golden Core cultivator in mid-air and attack with all your might! Protect the civilians; do not let them be harmed!"

"Yes!" The soldiers and disciples responded in unison. Despite being suppressed by the pressure of the Golden Core cultivator, they still struggled to move, quickly manipulating the defensive equipment and aiming at Mo Chenzi and his two companions in mid-air. Golden armor-piercing bullets and blue energy beams rained down on the three of them.

Mo Chenzi sneered, his tone disdainful: "Mortal trash, you dare to use such petty tricks against us? You're delusional!" With that, he raised his hand, conjuring a massive spiritual energy barrier to protect himself and the two elders. Armor-piercing bullets and energy beams struck the barrier, only to be instantly deflected. Not only did they fail to cause any damage, but the reflected energy struck the surrounding buildings, triggering a series of explosions.

"Hahaha, did you see that? Huang Yiming, your mundane weapons are no match for us Golden Core cultivators!" A Golden Core elder laughed triumphantly, raising his hand and sending a streak of spiritual energy shooting down at the soldiers below, instantly knocking dozens of them flying. They spat out blood and died on the spot.

Another elder, not to be outdone, raised his hand and unleashed a beam of spiritual energy that struck a surviving building. The building collapsed instantly, crushing many civilians who couldn't escape in time. "Mortal ants deserve the fate of ants! Today, I'll show you the full power of a Golden Core cultivator!"

Huang Yiming's eyes blazed with fury. His figure flashed, instantly appearing in mid-air as he charged towards the elder. His palm strikes were fierce, imbued with spiritual energy from both realms, unleashing the full power of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. "You dare harm civilians? I will kill you!"

The elder sneered, completely disregarding Huang Yiming. He raised his hand and struck Huang Yiming's palm. "Bang!" A loud bang echoed as a powerful shockwave swept across the entire area. Huang Yiming screamed, spitting out blood as his body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground. His aura instantly weakened, and several more wounds appeared on his body.

"Yiming!" the five women cried out in unison, trying to rush forward to help, but they were trapped by the spiritual energy released by Mo Chenzi and unable to move. Mo Chenzi sneered, his tone mocking: "Huang Yiming, do you see that? The difference between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Golden Core stage is like heaven and earth. No matter how much you struggle, it's all in vain. Today, you will surely die!"

Huang Yiming struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. There was no sign of retreat in his eyes; instead, a cunning glint flashed within them. He knew that he was no match for a cultivator in the early Golden Core stage in a direct confrontation. His only chance of victory was to feign weakness, lure the opponent into lowering their guard, and then launch a counterattack.

"Mo Chenzi, don't be so arrogant!" Huang Yiming's voice was tinged with fear, his body staggering as if he might collapse at any moment. "I admit, I'm no match for you, but I will never give up. I will fight with all my might to protect my woman and the common people!"

Mo Chenzi's disdain deepened, and he sneered, "Give it your all? Do you even have the right? Today, I'll kill you first, then defile your woman, and let you taste the agony of a life worse than death!" With that, Mo Chenzi flashed and instantly appeared in front of Huang Yiming, raising his hand to strike Huang Yiming's chest, intending to kill him with a single blow.

At this critical moment, Huang Yiming's eyes suddenly sharpened, his spiritual energy instantly circulated, and he simultaneously drew his modified armor-piercing rifle, aiming it at Mo Chenzi's chest and pulling the trigger. The golden bullet, carrying spiritual energy from both realms, shot through the air with lightning speed, heading straight for Mo Chenzi's dantian.

Mo Chenzi's expression changed slightly, not expecting Huang Yiming to suddenly counterattack. He quickly dodged to the side, the bullet grazing his shoulder and striking the spiritual energy barrier behind him, instantly cracking the barrier. "You're courting death!" Mo Chenzi was furious, raising his hand and striking Huang Yiming's chest heavily with a palm strike. Huang Yiming spat out blood again, his body flying backward and crashing heavily next to Su Qingyue.

"Yiming, how are you?" Su Qingyue quickly supported Huang Yiming, her eyes filled with heartache, tears streaming down her face. Huang Yiming shook his head, his voice weak: "I'm fine, Qingyue, don't worry, I can still fight. We can definitely hold them off!"

Mo Chenzi hovered in mid-air and sneered, "Huang Yiming, you are already seriously injured and have no power to resist anymore. Today, I will send you on your way!" After saying that, he raised his hand and condensed a huge bolt of spiritual energy, which shot towards Huang Yiming and the others, intending to kill them all.

Just at this critical moment, a system notification suddenly sounded: [Detected that Qin Yuling and Zi Yao, leading the Anti-Yan Alliance disciples, have arrived at the city's outskirts and are rapidly en route to provide support; simultaneously, an anomaly was detected in the ancient traversal fragment, whose power can be temporarily borrowed to enhance combat strength.]

Huang Yiming's eyes lit up, his heart filled with joy—reinforcements had arrived! This was his only chance. If he could hold out until Qin Yuling and Ziyao arrived, and then use the power of the fragments, he could turn the tide of battle and defeat Mo Chenzi and the others. Despite his weakness, he channeled all his spiritual energy to form a defensive barrier, blocking the onslaught of spiritual energy. At the same time, he shouted to the five women, "Hold on a little longer! Yuling and Ziyao are coming soon! We can definitely pull through!"

The five women nodded and began circulating their spiritual energy to help Huang Yiming reinforce the defensive barrier. The streams of spiritual energy struck the barrier, causing it to tremble violently and crack, threatening to shatter at any moment. Mo Chenzi sneered and continued to unleash streams of spiritual energy to attack the barrier, determined to break it down as quickly as possible and kill Huang Yiming.

Qin Yuling and Zi Yao are about to arrive to provide support. The fragmented power can temporarily boost combat strength, but the defensive barrier is on the verge of collapse. Can Huang Yiming and the others hold out until the support arrives?
