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

At the passage between the two realms, spiritual energy and evil energy intertwined, creating an eerie and oppressive atmosphere. Huang Yiming held a black token, flanked by Qin Yuling and Zi Yao, their spiritual energy circulating around them as they warily stared at the entrance of the passage with grave expressions. The demonic aura detected by the system was becoming increasingly clear, yet they still couldn't spot any demonic cultivators, as if the other side was secretly observing, waiting for the right moment to strike.

"Strange, the demonic aura is clearly nearby, so why can't we see anyone?" Qin Yuling frowned, her longsword slightly drawn, her late-stage Foundation Establishment aura fully released as she warily observed her surroundings. "Could this be Mo Chenzi's scheme, deliberately luring us here to launch a sneak attack?"

Zi Yao's eyes sharpened as she activated a secret technique of the Demonic Sect to try and sense the fluctuations of evil energy around her: "It doesn't seem like it. This evil energy is very pure, without any mixing with the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Evolution Sect. It should be pure demonic cultivators, and there aren't many of them. They are most likely a patrol team scouting the situation." She had dealt with the Demonic Sect for many years, so her perception of evil energy was far more acute than others.

Huang Yiming slowly raised the black token. The demonic runes on the token became even more dazzling under the stimulation of the evil energy, radiating an even stronger aura. He carefully observed the runes on the token, his brows furrowed: "These runes are very strange. I have never seen them before. Moreover, the material of the token is somewhat similar to the ancient time travel fragments I obtained before. Perhaps this token is not just a simple summoning order."

Just then, Lingxi's voice came through the system's audio transmission, her tone urgent: "Yiming, I found it! There are records of this kind of token in the ancient books of the Spirit Clan. It is indeed a summoning token for the Demon Clan, called the 'Demon Abyss Token,' and its holder can summon a large army of low-level demons. Moreover, this token was the symbol of the Demon Clan leader when the Demon Clan invaded the Azure Netherworld!"

"The Demon Race has invaded the Azure Netherworld?" Huang Yiming's eyes were filled with surprise. "Lingxi, tell me in detail, what exactly is going on?"

Lingxi's voice came again, tinged with solemnity: "Ancient records state that a thousand years ago, the Demon Race launched a massive invasion of the Azure Netherworld. At that time, the Demon Race leader, wielding the Demon Abyss Token, summoned a million-strong demon army, sweeping across the Azure Netherworld and slaughtering countless spirit race and human cultivators. Later, the spirit race and the dragon race joined forces, and after a hundred years of fierce fighting, they finally defeated the demon army, sealed off the demon territory, and the Demon Abyss Token was seized by the dragon race, disappearing without a trace. I never expected that this token would fall into Mo Chenzi's hands."

A hint of shock flashed in Qin Yuling's eyes: "The Dragon Clan? There are actually Dragon Clan members in the Azure Netherworld? I've never heard of them before." Zi Yao nodded as well, her tone puzzled: "There are scattered records in the ancient books of the Demonic Sect, saying that the Dragon Clan lives in seclusion deep within the Azure Netherworld and rarely interferes in worldly affairs. I never imagined that a thousand years ago, it was the Dragon Clan and the Spirit Clan who joined forces to repel the Demon Clan."

Huang Yiming's heart was filled with turmoil. The demon invasion a thousand years ago and the existence of the dragon race were secrets he knew nothing about. The Demon Abyss Token in Mo Chenzi's hands was undoubtedly the key to breaking the demon seal and triggering a catastrophe between the two realms. "It seems that Mo Chenzi has long been colluding with the demons. His goal is not only to seize the system, but also to use the demon army to occupy both realms and restore the glory of the demons a thousand years ago."

Just then, three black figures suddenly rushed out from the passage entrance. Their movements were swift, and they exuded a dense, malevolent aura. All three were at the late Foundation Establishment stage; they were the Demon Clan patrol. The leading demon cultivator had a ferocious expression, wielding a wicked blade. His eyes were coldly fixed on the Demon Abyss Token in Huang Yiming's hand, his tone greedy: "The Demon Abyss Token! It's in your hands! Hand over the token now, and I'll spare your life; otherwise, I'll tear you to pieces and devour your life essence!"

Huang Yiming sneered, his tone disdainful: "You three late-stage Foundation Establishment demon cultivators dare to ask for the Demon Abyss Token? Today I'll use you as my starting point to find out where Mo Chenzi is and the movements of the demon army!"

"You're courting death!" the leading demon cultivator roared, charging towards Huang Yiming with his evil blade, which slashed towards Huang Yiming's chest, its blade shrouded in dense evil energy. Qin Yuling flashed in front of Huang Yiming, her longsword drawn and clashing with the evil blade. A loud clang rang out, sparks flying. Qin Yuling staggered back a few steps, her arm slightly numb—the strength of demon cultivators far surpassed that of human cultivators of the same level.

Seeing this, Zi Yao immediately activated a secret technique of the Demonic Sect, unleashing a black beam of light from her evil weapon directly at the leading demonic cultivator. Simultaneously, she flashed forward, engaging the other two demonic cultivators in combat. "Yu Ling, I'm here to help you!" Huang Yiming flashed again, raising his hand and gathering spiritual energy from both realms, striking the leading demonic cultivator heavily in the back. The demonic cultivator screamed, staggering forward and spitting out black blood.

The three joined forces to fight a fierce battle against the demon patrol. Huang Yiming, with his peak Foundation Establishment strength and modern armor-piercing gun, continuously depleted the demon cultivators' evil energy; Qin Yuling's longsword was sharp and deadly, targeting the demon cultivators' vital points; Zi Yao, with her agile movements, used the secret techniques of the Demon Sect to restrain the enemy, gradually gaining the upper hand in coordination with Huang Yiming and Qin Yuling.

After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, the three demon cultivators gradually weakened, their wounds multiplying and their evil energy dissipating. Seeing this, the leading demon cultivator knew he couldn't win and turned to flee: "I'll spare your lives for now, but when my army arrives, we will slaughter you all and seize the Demon Abyss Token!"

"Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Huang Yiming sneered, his figure flashing as he instantly caught up with him, striking his dantian with a palm strike. The demon cultivator screamed and collapsed to the ground, his aura weakened. The other two demon cultivators were also killed by Qin Yuling and Zi Yao, without any chance of escape.

Huang Yiming walked up to the leading demon cultivator, looking down at him with an icy tone: "Speak, where is Mo Chenzi? When will the demon army invade the two realms? Who is your leader?"

The demon cultivator's eyes were filled with hatred, yet also tinged with fear. He gritted his teeth, refusing to speak: "Even if I die, I will not tell you anything! My clan leader will avenge us, will conquer both realms, and turn you all into our slaves!"

A cold glint flashed in Huang Yiming's eyes. He raised his hand and injected a stream of spiritual energy into the demon cultivator's body. The spiritual energy surged wildly through his meridians, causing him to convulse in pain. "I'll ask you one more time, where is Mo Chenzi?" Huang Yiming's voice was icy and chilling, carrying an unquestionable authority.

The demon cultivators, unable to endure the excruciating pain any longer, repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I'll talk! I'll talk! Lord Mo Chenzi has already fled to the demon territory and found our leader, Lord Moro. The two have reached an agreement—in three days, Lord Moro will send a massive demon army to invade both realms, seize the Demon Abyss Token, and occupy both realms! Lord Moro is a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, with formidable combat power; you are no match for him!"

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically—a demon leader at the mid-Golden Core stage, coupled with an invading army three days later, presented an unprecedented crisis. He pressed further, "Where is the demon territory? What trump cards does Moro have? Is the seal that the dragon clan used to seal the demon territory a thousand years ago still secure?"

The demon cultivator weakly shook his head: "I don't know... The demon territory is deep within the Azure Nether Realm, sealed and protected. Only Lord Moro can break the seal and summon his army... That's all I know. Please spare my life!"

Huang Yiming sneered, raising his hand to kill the demon cultivator with a single palm strike—keeping him alive would only cause future trouble. He put away the Demon Abyss Token, his eyes grave, and shouted, "Yu Ling, Zi Yao, the situation is critical! Mo Chenzi has colluded with a mid-stage Golden Core demon leader, and the demon army will launch a massive invasion in three days. We must prepare for war immediately!"

Just then, a system notification sounded: [Dragon aura detected, rapidly approaching the interdimensional passage, combat strength unknown, suspected to be a friendly force]

Everyone froze, their eyes filled with astonishment—the Dragon Clan? The Dragon Clan that repelled the Demon Clan a thousand years ago has actually reappeared? Are they friend or foe? Huang Yiming gripped the Demon Abyss Token tightly, his eyes wary, thinking to himself: the old grudges of the Demon Clan from a thousand years ago, the sudden appearance of the Dragon Clan, Mo Chenzi's conspiracy, the invasion of the Demon Clan army... all of this is intertwined, and an even greater storm is about to arrive.

Although the dragon's aura has appeared, it seems to be a friendly force, and its purpose is unclear; the demon army will invade in three days, and the two realms have little time to prepare for war, and the secret of the seal urgently needs to be unlocked.
