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

Within the spatial rift, howling winds raged, and chaotic energy permeated the air. All around was pitch black, save for the faint distant roars of battle. Huang Yiming was enveloped by the chaotic energy, his blood surging. Instinctively, he gripped the Demon Abyss Token tightly, circulating his spiritual energy to resist the surrounding spatial pressure. A moment later, he crashed heavily to the ground. Looking up, the scene before him caused his pupils to shrink sharply.

This was an ancient battlefield, the ground littered with broken weapons and scattered bones. The air was thick with both spiritual and malevolent energy, and the distant mountains were charred black by the flames of war. What shocked him even more was that in the center of the battlefield, the fragment of an ancient time machine floated in mid-air, its light even more intense than when he was in the Spirit Clan's holy land. Scattered around the fragment were many relics of ancient cultivators, emanating a faint spiritual energy.

"Huang Yiming, you're still alive!" The voice of the black-robed demon came from behind, sounding somewhat disheveled, yet still filled with killing intent. He was covered in wounds, his evil energy chaotic, clearly also injured by the pressure of the spatial rift, yet he still stared intently at the fragment, his eyes filled with greed.

Huang Yiming slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and the Demon Abyss Token flashed with black light. He circulated his spiritual energy and released the full pressure of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator: "I told you, the fragment will definitely be mine. You will die today!" Before he finished speaking, he flashed and rushed towards the black-robed demon. He swung the Demon Abyss Token, and streams of black spiritual energy attacked his opponent.

The black-robed demon dared not be careless, channeling his remaining evil energy to defend himself. However, he was already severely injured and had his spiritual power depleted by the spatial rift, making him no match for Huang Yiming. Before long, Huang Yiming defeated him with a single palm strike. The Demon Abyss Token absorbed the evil energy within him, and the black-robed demon let out a miserable scream as his body turned to ashes, completely dissipating on the battlefield.

After defeating the black-robed demon, Huang Yiming walked to the base of the fragment and reached out to grasp it. The instant his fingertips touched the fragment, it suddenly burst forth with golden light, and a vast stream of information flooded into his mind. At the same time, a vague ancient memory surfaced before his eyes—a thousand years ago, the Spirit Race and the Dragon Race joined forces to fight against the Demon Race. The Ancient Transcendental Fragments were treasures of the Dragon Race, totaling five. Collecting them all would unlock a portal to traverse the myriad worlds, allowing one to fuse the primordial power of the two realms and break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"So that's how it is. The secret of the fragment is actually like this." Huang Yiming was shocked. The mystery of the system, the anomaly of the Demon Abyss Token, and the foreshadowing of the Dragon Clan in the first eight volumes all had a clue now. He gripped the fragment tightly, and it merged into his body, resonating strongly with the first fragment he had obtained before. His spiritual energy surged violently, and his cultivation showed faint signs of breaking through to the peak of the late Golden Core stage.

Just then, he sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy deep within the battlefield. Driven by curiosity, he walked towards the depths of the battlefield. After walking for about half an hour, a broken stone tablet appeared before him. Ancient characters were engraved on the tablet. With the help of the system's analysis, Huang Yiming learned that this was the ancient cultivation technique "Dragon Evolution Technique" left behind by the Dragon Clan. Cultivating this technique could fuse with the power of the Dragon Clan, greatly enhancing combat strength, and even creating a stronger resonance with the Demon Abyss Token.

Huang Yiming was overjoyed and immediately activated the system to begin cultivating the "Dragon Evolution Technique." As the technique circulated, the ancient spiritual energy around him continuously poured into his body, merging and converging with the power of the fragments and the power of the Demon Abyss Token. His combat power rapidly increased, and his cultivation at the late Golden Core stage became increasingly stable, showing faint signs of touching the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage.

After an unknown amount of time, Huang Yiming slowly opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed, and his spiritual energy became condensed and heavy. He sensed that the suction force of the spatial rift was gradually weakening, knowing it was time to leave. He activated the Dragon Evolution Technique, channeling the power of its fragments. A golden light enveloped him, and he rushed towards the direction where the spatial rift was closing.

When Huang Yiming stepped out of the spatial rift, the scene that greeted him instantly enraged him. On the outskirts of the Spirit Clan's holy land, five women were being besieged by a group of cultivators: Qin Yuling was covered in wounds, her chest dripping with blood, her long sword teetering on the verge of falling, yet she still stood firmly in front of Su Qingyue, Ling Xi, Yang Xiu, and Zi Yao; Zi Yao, disregarding her unhealed injuries, used a secret technique of the Demonic Sect to fight the cultivators, blood constantly spilling from the corner of her mouth; Su Qingyue deployed drones to counterattack, but they were shot down by the opponent's spiritual energy; Ling Xi used the power of spiritual plants to protect everyone, but her spiritual energy was already exhausted; Yang Xiu stood by, healing everyone's wounds while dodging attacks, her expression anxious.

"They're the remnants of the Heavenly Evolution Sect!" Huang Yiming recognized the cultivators' attire at a glance. They were the remaining forces of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, numbering around a thousand. Their leader was a Golden Core stage cultivator, arrogantly mocking the five women: "That mortal loser Huang Yiming must be dead in the spatial rift! You women, if you obediently submit to us, you might still have a whole corpse. Otherwise, today we'll torture you mercilessly to avenge our ancestor and wash the two realms in blood!"

Qin Yuling roared angrily, using the last bit of her spiritual power to unleash a burst of spiritual energy, but it was easily blocked by the leading cultivator. She was then struck in the chest by a palm strike, staggering backward and spitting out a mouthful of blood. "Yuling!" Huang Yiming's eyes were bloodshot, and the pressure of his late-stage Golden Core cultivation instantly swept across the entire area, mixed with the power of the Dragon Clan and the evil aura of the Demon Abyss Token, causing the remaining disciples of the Tianyan Sect present to tremble and turn pale.

He flashed to Qin Yuling's side, embracing her tightly, his voice filled with heartache and anger: "Yuling, I'm sorry, I'm late." Then he looked up at the remaining disciples of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, his eyes icy and piercing, like a demon from hell: "You hurt my woman, you destroyed my allies, today I will make you all perish here, to avenge the fallen Spirit Clan disciples and Yuling!"

Before he finished speaking, Huang Yiming activated the Dragon Evolution Technique, brandishing the Demon Abyss Token. A black spiritual energy, imbued with the power of the golden dragon race, shot straight at the leading early-stage Golden Core cultivator. The cultivator's expression changed drastically; he tried to dodge, but was instantly struck by the spiritual energy and exploded on the spot. The remaining Tianyan Sect disciples were terrified at the sight and turned to flee, but they were trapped by the spiritual energy released by Huang Yiming, unable to escape.

The five women were overjoyed at the sight. Zi Yao and Ling Xi immediately stepped forward to assist Huang Yiming in eliminating the remaining disciples; Su Qingyue quickly deployed weapons to block all escape routes; Yang Xiu continued to heal Qin Yuling's wounds. Moments later, all the remaining disciples of the Tianyan Sect were killed, and peace returned to the outskirts of the holy land. However, Huang Yiming knew that this was only the tip of the iceberg of the remaining forces of the Tianyan Sect. To eliminate future troubles, the Tianyan Sect's headquarters had to be completely destroyed. What he didn't know was that within the Tianyan Sect's headquarters lay a secret powerful enough to overturn both worlds.
