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

The arrival of the three dragon cultivators briefly stirred up the entire allied forces. With their early-stage Golden Core cultivation, the three dragon cultivators were undoubtedly a powerful asset; if they genuinely assisted, their chances of defeating the demon army would greatly increase. However, everyone remained wary—the dragons had lived in seclusion for millennia, never interfering in worldly affairs. Their sudden appearance to assist the two realms in dealing with the demons inevitably raised suspicions about their true motives.

Huang Yiming stepped forward, his eyes calmly fixed on the leading dragon cultivator, and said in a steady tone, "Thank you for your help, Dragon Clan. However, the Dragon Clan has been living in seclusion for thousands of years. Now that you have suddenly appeared to help us deal with the Demon Clan, I wonder what the Dragon Clan wants?" He never believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and the Dragon Clan's sudden assistance must have its purpose.

The leading dragon cultivator was named Ao Lie. He wore golden armor, had a dignified face, and exuded the pressure of an early-stage Golden Core cultivator. He looked at Huang Yiming and said sincerely, "Mr. Huang, there's no need to doubt us. Our dragon race has protected the Azure Netherworld for generations. A thousand years ago, we joined forces with the Spirit Race to repel the Demon Race and seal their territory. Now, the Demon Race is about to break the seal and invade, and the Azure Netherworld is facing a catastrophe. Naturally, we cannot sit idly by."

Ao Lie paused, then continued, "Furthermore, we've learned that Mr. Huang possesses fragments of the Ancient Time Traveler and the Demon Abyss Token. The Ancient Time Traveler fragments are closely linked to the seal that sealed the demon race a thousand years ago, while the Demon Abyss Token is the token of the demon race's leader. Only by gathering all the Ancient Time Traveler fragments can the seal be completely strengthened, the demon army defeated, and the catastrophe prevented."

Huang Yiming's eyes were full of surprise: "The ancient time travel fragments are related to the seal? I only knew that collecting three fragments could unlock the Golden Core stage breakthrough assistance, I didn't expect it to have such a use." He took out the two ancient time travel fragments he had obtained earlier from his storage space. The fragments exuded an ancient aura and resonated slightly with the dragon aura on Ao Lie's body.

Ao Lie looked at the two fragments of the ancient time-travel artifact, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes: "That's right, the ancient time-travel fragments are fragments of an ancient treasure used by the Dragon Clan and the Spirit Clan a thousand years ago when they joined forces to seal the Demon Clan. There are three in total, scattered between the two realms and the Demon Clan's territory. Collecting all three fragments can not only help you break through to the Golden Core stage, but also activate the ancient treasure, strengthen the seal, and even completely destroy the core of the Demon Clan's territory, preventing the Demon Clan from ever invading the Azure Netherworld again."

Lingxi stepped forward, her eyes filled with surprise: "There is indeed such a record in the ancient books, but I never knew that the fragments of the ancient treasure were the fragments of the ancient time travel. It seems that this is the key to our victory over the demons and our protection of the two realms."

Ao Lie nodded: "You now have two fragments. The third fragment is in the core area of ​​the Demon Clan's territory, kept by Moro. Moro wants to use the Demon Abyss Token to break the seal and summon the Demon Clan's army. At the same time, he also wants to collect all three time-travel fragments to activate the ancient treasure for his own use and dominate both realms."

A cold glint flashed in Huang Yiming's eyes: "Moro is ambitious and actually wants to dominate the two realms. Today I must stop him, seize the third time travel fragment, activate the ancient treasure, completely crush the demon race, and protect the two realms." He knew in his heart that the third time travel fragment was not only the key to his breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, but also the key to protecting the two realms. No matter what the cost, he had to seize it.

Just then, Su Qingyue suddenly sent a message, her tone urgent: "Yiming, something bad has happened! We've discovered unusual spiritual energy fluctuations in a hidden cave in the Zhongxuan Realm, resembling the aura of an ancient time-traveling fragment. Moreover, there are remnants of the Tianyan Sect active there, seemingly searching for something!"

Huang Yiming's eyes lit up, his heart filled with joy—could it be that the third fragment of the time-traveling device wasn't in the Demon Realm, but rather in a hidden cave in the Middle Xuan Realm? "Qingyue, locate the cave immediately! I'll take men there right now to investigate and seize the fragment!"

Subsequently, Huang Yiming arranged for Qin Yuling and Zi Yao to remain in the interdimensional passage, working with Ao Lie and others to prepare for battle and guard the defensive line; Su Qingyue, Yang Xiu, and Ling Xi stayed behind to continue allocating resources and improving the defense; while he led several elite disciples of the Anti-Yan Alliance straight to the hidden cave located by Su Qingyue.

Deep within the Zhongxuan Realm, a hidden cave was overgrown with weeds, its spiritual energy swirling with a faint trace of malevolent energy mixed with the spiritual energy of the Tianyan Sect. Several remaining disciples of the Tianyan Sect were frantically searching the cave entrance, seemingly looking for a mechanism. The leader, an elder of the Tianyan Sect with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, spoke with greedy eyes and urgent tone: "Quick, find the entrance! The fragment of the ancient time machine must be inside. If we get the fragment, we can join a high-level sect in the Zhongxuan Realm, and then take revenge and seize the system!"

"Elder, we've searched for a long time but haven't found the entrance mechanism. This cave seems to be sealed by an ancient formation, making it impossible to enter," a disciple said helplessly, his face full of anxiety.

"Useless!" the elder roared, his eyes blazing with fury. "You can't even find the entrance to a cave, what are you talking about revenge for? Search carefully again, the mechanism must be hidden somewhere! The fragments of the ancient time machine must not fall into Huang Yiming's hands!"

Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out, and the oppressive aura instantly enveloped the Tianyan Sect disciples like Mount Tai: "The fragment you are looking for is here with me. Unfortunately, you have no chance to get it!" Huang Yiming slowly walked out with his elite disciples, his eyes cold, and the aura of the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage was fully released around him, locking onto the group.

"Huang...Huang Yiming!" Several Tianyan Sect disciples turned pale, their bodies stiff with fear—they hadn't expected Huang Yiming to suddenly appear here. The leading elder, feigning composure, stared greedily at Huang Yiming: "Huang Yiming, you're also looking for the ancient time-travel fragment? It seems you also know the fragment's secret. Today we'll have a contest; whoever wins gets the fragment!"

Huang Yiming sneered, his tone full of disdain: "You think you're worthy to fight me? Today I will wipe out all your remnants, seize the fragments, and seek justice for the dead!"

"You're courting death!" the elder roared, channeling all his spiritual energy and unleashing the full power of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He charged at Huang Yiming, sword in hand, the blade crackling with dense spiritual energy, aiming for his chest. Huang Yiming easily dodged the attack, raising his hand to gather spiritual energy from both realms, striking the elder heavily in the chest. The elder screamed and staggered back, spitting out blood.

Seeing this, the other disciples of the Tianyan Sect rushed forward to attack, but Huang Yiming paid them no heed. He weaved through the crowd, his palm strikes sharp and precise, each one hitting a disciple's dantian with deadly accuracy. In a short while, all the disciples were killed without a shred of mercy.

After dealing with the remaining disciples of the Tianyan Sect, Huang Yiming walked to the cave entrance and carefully observed the formation. The formation was ancient and exuded a rich ancient aura, resonating with the aura of the ancient time-travel fragments. He took out two time-travel fragments, which emitted golden light and merged into the formation. The formation instantly lit up, and the cave entrance slowly opened.

Huang Yiming entered the cave, where the spiritual energy was much denser than outside. On the central stone platform lay an ancient fragment—the third fragment of the ancient time travel technique! The fragment exuded a profound and ancient aura, resonating strongly with the two fragments in his hand. A powerful force surged from the fragment and flowed into Huang Yiming's body.

A system notification suddenly sounded: [The third ancient time-travel fragment has been detected. With all three fragments collected, the Golden Core stage breakthrough assistance function is unlocked. Simultaneously, the sealing power of the ancient treasure is activated, which can help reinforce the demonic seal. The host's cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and can use the power of the fragments to break through to the Golden Core stage at any time.]

Huang Yiming's eyes were filled with joy, and his heart was filled with excitement—he had finally collected all three ancient time-traveling fragments, and finally had the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core stage! As long as he broke through to the Golden Core stage, he could contend with Moro, lead the allied forces to completely defeat the demon army, and protect the two realms.

Just as he was about to pick up the third fragment and use its power to break through to the Golden Core stage, the cave suddenly trembled violently, and a dense, evil aura emanated from its depths. At the same time, a cold voice echoed throughout the cave: "Huang Yiming, I didn't expect you to find the third time travel fragment! Today I will take your fragment, kill you, seize the system, and dominate both realms!"

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically. He turned around abruptly and saw a black figure slowly emerging from the depths of the cave. The figure was surrounded by a dense aura of evil, and his cultivation was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage—it was none other than Mo Chenzi, the sect master of the Tianyan Sect! He had not fled to the Demon Clan's territory, but had been hiding near this cave, where someone was waiting for an opportunity to seize the third fragment of the teleportation device!

Mo Chenzi suddenly appears, lurking near the cave, intending to seize the third fragment. Will Huang Yiming be able to protect the fragment and successfully break through to the Golden Core stage?
