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

The stone gate to the forbidden area shattered with a deafening roar, unleashing a torrent of malevolent energy that swept out like a tsunami, carrying with it a nauseating stench that instantly engulfed the Tianyan Sect's headquarters. Huang Yiming's late-stage Golden Core aura suddenly tightened, and the Demon Abyss Token in his hand blazed with black light as he stared intently into the depths of the forbidden area—where a hunched yet terrifying figure was slowly rising to his feet.

That was Ling Xuan, the patriarch of the Tianyan Sect. He had long lost his former ethereal grace; half his body was covered in black scales, his eyes glowed with crimson blood, and his aura of evil was condensed to a tangible form, each breath causing violent disruption to the surrounding spiritual energy. He had failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but through the power of an evil artifact and the essence of demonic blood, he had become half-human, half-demon, his combat strength surging to the peak of the late Golden Core stage, far surpassing Huang Yiming's current strength.

"Hahaha! Huang Yiming, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm not dead!" Ling Xuan's voice was hoarse and grating, carrying the roar of a demon. "You destroyed my sect and killed my disciples. Today, I will tear you to pieces, seize the system and its fragments, and then use the power of the demon race to flatten both realms and become the Demon Lord!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ling Xuan flashed forward, his figure enveloped in overwhelming evil energy, rushing straight at Huang Yiming. His speed far exceeded the limits of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, tearing the air apart and emitting a piercing shriek. Huang Yiming dared not be careless and immediately activated the ancient technique he had obtained from the previous volume. He unleashed a black burst of energy from the Demon Abyss Token, which collided with the evil energy. After a deafening roar, he was shaken and staggered back three steps, his blood churning.

"Yiming, watch out!" Qin Yuling darted out, wielding a longsword, unleashing her full power of late-stage Foundation Establishment spiritual energy to face Ling Xuan head-on. She remembered her duty to control the battle, her sword flashing fiercely, each move aimed directly at Ling Xuan's vitals, but Ling Xuan casually swung his sword, a wisp of evil energy striking her shoulder, causing her to stagger backward, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Yu Ling!" Huang Yiming's eyes widened in fury. He was about to rush forward to help when he was entangled by two demon cultivators who were secretly guarding him. These two demon cultivators were both at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. They cooperated perfectly, holding Huang Yiming back and preventing him from getting close to Qin Yu Ling.

"Don't even think about hurting my sister!" Zi Yao's figure moved like a ghost, her soft sword glowing with dark demonic energy, instantly entangling a demon cultivator. As the leader of the Demon Sect, she had a natural control over evil energy. Her soft sword cut through the opponent's evil energy as she moved. Although her cultivation was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, she was able to hold her own against a demon cultivator at the early Golden Core stage by relying on the secret techniques of the Demon Sect.

Lingxi was surrounded by green light, and large vines burst from the ground, entangling another demon cultivator. At the same time, she released pure spiritual energy to purify the surrounding evil energy and heal Qin Yuling: "Sister Yuling, hold on, I will help you purify the evil energy in your body!" The power of the spiritual plants was gentle yet domineering, flowing along Qin Yuling's meridians, gradually dispelling the evil energy in her body and relieving her injuries.

Su Qingyue quickly retreated to a safe area, tapping her fingertips on the system panel to dispatch modern heavy weapons in the distance: "Yiming, I have mobilized tanks and rocket launchers, targeting the outer perimeter of the forbidden area, arriving in three minutes! You must hold off Ling Xuan!" As the head of the dual-world business, she had already deployed modern heavy weapons around the Tianyan Sect, and now she was precisely dispatching them to provide long-range support for the battlefield.

Carrying a storage bag, Yang Xiu swiftly moved across the battlefield, administering healing pills to the wounded cultivators of the Two Realms Legion while shouting, "Hold on, everyone! Yang Xiu is healing you. The Sect Master will definitely lead us to victory!" She was in charge of logistics and had already prepared healing pills and supplies. At this moment, she was providing orderly support to the battlefield and stabilizing morale.

Huang Yiming broke free from the restraints of the two demon cultivators, flashing to stand in front of Qin Yuling. He once again unleashed the Demon Abyss Token, colliding head-on with Ling Xuan's evil energy. "Ling Xuan, you have become a half-demon, colluding with the demon race and harming living beings. Today I will surely kill you!" Huang Yiming roared, circulating all his spiritual energy and fusing the power of the Demon Abyss Token with the ancient fragments. His aura surged, barely managing to contend with Ling Xuan.

Ling Xuan's combat power was simply too strong. His half-human, half-demon body was impervious to blades and spears, and his evil energy was endless. In the midst of the fierce battle, Ling Xuan struck Huang Yiming in the chest with a palm strike. Huang Yiming spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered backward, and his face turned deathly pale. Seeing this, Qin Yuling disregarded her injuries and rushed forward again, shielding Huang Yiming with her body and taking the full force of Ling Xuan's attack. She immediately fainted.

"Yu Ling!" Huang Yiming erupted in fury, his spiritual energy surging violently, unleashing the full pressure of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. The Demon Abyss Commander's black light surged, absorbing surrounding evil energy and converting it into his own combat power. Zi Yao and Ling Xi seized the opportunity to join forces to restrain Ling Xuan, buying Huang Yiming some breathing room. Yang Xiu quickly arrived, feeding Qin Yu Ling healing pills and doing everything she could to save her.

Just then, Su Qingyue's voice rang out: "Yiming, heavy weapons have arrived!" In the distance, tanks roared and rocket launchers roared out, precisely bombarding the evil energy surrounding Ling Xuan, blasting it into countless fragments. Ling Xuan was forced back by the shockwave, a look of fury flashing in his eyes. He stopped entangled with Huang Yiming and raised his hand to summon the ancient evil artifact. The artifact burst forth with blinding black light, and countless demonic phantoms rushed out from it, surging towards the Legion of Two Realms.

The demonic phantoms were incredibly powerful and immune to ordinary attacks. The cultivators of the two realms' legions were instantly put on the defensive, their screams echoing throughout the battlefield. Many cultivators were struck by the phantoms, their bodies invaded by evil energy, turning them into puppets. Seeing this, Huang Yiming disregarded his chest injury and rushed forward with the Demon Abyss Token to absorb the evil energy, only to be struck in the back by a demonic phantom. Blood instantly stained his clothes, and he sustained a minor injury.

Seeing this, Zi Yao rushed forward desperately to shield Huang Yiming, wildly wielding her soft sword to slay the surrounding demonic phantoms, but she was also struck by one, her arm bleeding profusely. Ling Xi unleashed the full power of her spiritual plants to purify the cultivators invaded by evil energy, but due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy, her face turned pale. Su Qingyue continuously deployed heavy weapons to bombard the demonic phantoms, but she was unable to completely eliminate them.

Ling Xuan stood rooted to the spot, watching the chaotic battlefield, laughing maniacally: "Huang Yiming, watching your men fall one by one, isn't it painful? Hand over the system and fragments obediently, and perhaps this ancestor will spare your corpse!" Huang Yiming slowly stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, a resolute glint in his eyes. He knew that if he retreated today, not only would he die, but the five women and the two-realm legions would also be annihilated.

He looked at the five women who had risked their lives to protect him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Scenes from the first eight volumes flashed through his mind—redeeming Yang Xiu with bread, fighting alongside Qin Yuling, developing the dual-realm business with Su Qingyue, protecting the Spirit Clan with Ling Xi, and fighting against the Demon Sect with Zi Yao. The five women had followed him all the way, never abandoning him. This bond was his strongest source of confidence.

Huang Yiming gripped the Demon Abyss Token tightly, taking out three ancient time-traveling fragments and placing them in his palm. The fragments emitted a golden light, resonating strongly with the Demon Abyss Token. He knew that to defeat Ling Xuan, he could only rely on the power of the fragments, but he had not yet found a way to fuse them. Just then, Ling Xuan activated the evil artifact again, and countless demonic phantoms converged, forming a gigantic evil shadow that lunged towards Huang Yiming and the five women. The battlefield was in dire straits, but the fragments in Huang Yiming's palm suddenly erupted with an even stronger light.
