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

Beneath the gates of Blackrock City, smoke billowed. Qin Yuling and Zi Yao led five thousand elite troops, besieged by cultivators from the Blackrock Sect and the Gale Stronghold. A fierce battle raged, leaving corpses strewn across the ground. Shi Potian, the Blackrock Sect leader, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator wielding a massive black hammer, possessed formidable strength and was relentlessly pursuing Qin Yuling. Meanwhile, Feng Lie, the Gale Stronghold leader, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, was locked in combat with Zi Yao, the two working in perfect harmony, pressing forward relentlessly. Although Qin Yuling and Zi Yao had broken through to the early Golden Core stage, they were gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, both bearing wounds, their breathing becoming increasingly erratic.

"Qin Yuling, Ziyao, if you know what's good for you, surrender and hand over Huang Yiming to my Black Rock Sect! Otherwise, I'll make sure you die here today, so Huang Yiming knows the consequences of resisting me!" Shi Potian roared, swinging his giant hammer, a powerful black energy surging straight at Qin Yuling's chest. Qin Yuling struggled to resist, but was forced back by the energy, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her injuries suddenly worsening.

Seeing this, Zi Yao's heart tightened. She was about to rush forward to help, but Feng Lie held her tightly, making it impossible for her to break free. Feng Lie sneered, his soft whip flashing like a serpent, lashing out and pulling Zi Yao's wrist sharply in front of him. The dagger in his hand was pressed against her throat: "Little girl, you're quite pretty. If you submit to me, I'll spare your life; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Dream on!" Zi Yao roared, unleashing a secret demonic technique. Her demonic energy surged, breaking free from Feng Lie's restraints. She swung her soft sword, aiming straight for Feng Lie's vitals, but he easily dodged it and instead struck her on the back with a palm. Zi Yao screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground. She vomited a mouthful of black blood and was too weak to get up.

"Zi Yao!" Qin Yuling's eyes widened in fury. Ignoring her own injuries, she charged towards Zi Yao with all her might, only to be blocked by Shi Potian. Shi Potian sneered, and his giant hammer swung up again, aiming for Qin Yuling's head. Qin Yuling had no way to dodge, and could only close her eyes, silently lamenting: Yi Ming, I'm sorry, I couldn't protect the legion, I couldn't wait for you…

Just then, a golden aura suddenly struck, shattering Shi Potian's black aura. The pressure of the early Nascent Soul stage swept across the entire area, causing all the cultivators to stagger backward, their expressions filled with terror. "Whoever dares to hurt my woman is courting death!" Huang Yiming roared, his figure flashing as he appeared beside Qin Yuling and Zi Yao, helping them up, his eyes filled with heartache and fury.

"Yiming!" Qin Yuling and Ziyao's eyes instantly lit up with joy upon seeing Huang Yiming. All their grievances and exhaustion erupted at that moment, and tears streamed down their faces. Huang Yiming gently wiped the blood from their faces, his tone gentle yet carrying a chilling killing intent: "It's alright, I'm here. I will make everyone who hurt you pay for it in blood!"

Shi Potian and Feng Lie's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this—they never expected Huang Yiming to arrive so quickly, and the pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator at the early stage was so formidable. Shi Potian, forcing himself to remain calm, roared, "Huang Yiming, you destroyed three major sects, and you still dare to cause trouble in Black Rock City? Today, I, in alliance with Liefeng Village, will surely kill you to avenge all the sects!"

"Revenge?" Huang Yiming sneered, handing Qin Yuling and Zi Yao to the guards behind him. He flashed towards Shi Potian, unleashing his full Nascent Soul stage power. The Demon Abyss Token in his hand blazed with black light, absorbing the surrounding demonic and evil energy and converting it into his own power: "You two clowns dare to talk about revenge? Today I will massacre Blackrock City, letting all the forces in the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld know the consequences of disobeying me!"

Shi Potian's expression changed drastically, and he dared not be careless. He wielded his giant hammer and met the attack with all his might. After the deafening crash of the giant hammer colliding with the Demon Abyss Token, Shi Potian was shaken back five steps, his hands numb, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Your combat strength is actually this strong? You're only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet you can crush me at the late stage of the Golden Core realm?"

"You're not worthy to know!" Huang Yiming sneered, giving Shi Potian no chance to breathe. His figure flashed again, instantly appearing behind him, and the Demon Abyss Token slammed heavily into Shi Potian's back. Shi Potian screamed and vomited black blood. His dantian was shattered, and he died on the spot.

Seeing this, Feng Lie was terrified and turned to run away, but Huang Yiming struck his legs with a burst of spiritual energy, causing him to fall to the ground, unable to move. "Sect Master Huang... I was wrong! I am willing to submit, please spare my life!" Feng Lie knelt down and begged for mercy, his face full of fear, all his previous arrogance gone.

"Spare your life?" Huang Yiming walked up to Feng Lie with a cold smile, his eyes icy. "You hurt my woman and killed my legion's disciples. Now you want to beg for mercy? Too late!" With that, he raised his hand and waved it. A golden light flashed, and Feng Lie died on the spot.

After dealing with Shi Potian and Feng Lie, Huang Yiming released the pressure of an early Nascent Soul cultivator and shouted at the cultivators of Black Rock City: "Listen up, everyone from Black Rock Sect and Gale Stronghold! Your sect leader is dead. Those who are willing to submit, lay down your weapons and kneel to surrender; those who resist, kill them without mercy!"

The cultivators in the city were terrified at the sight, and they all laid down their weapons and knelt down to surrender, no longer daring to resist. Huang Yiming ordered his men to take over Black Rock City, inventory the spiritual herbs, ores, and supplies in the city, and at the same time, he ordered Yang Xiu to send healing pills as soon as possible to treat Qin Yuling, Zi Yao, and the wounded legion disciples.

Lingxi walked to Huang Yiming's side and whispered, "Yiming, Black Rock City has been subdued. Should we return to the Black Wilderness Mountains immediately to continue our research on the ancient ruins? I just sensed that the rune fluctuations of the ruins are getting stronger and stronger, as if something is awakening."

Huang Yiming nodded, looking at Qin Yuling and Ziyao who were healing, and said gently, "Once Yuling and Ziyao's injuries have improved, we will return to the Black Mang Mountains. Qingyue should already be trying to decipher the runes, and I believe it won't be long before they can open the entrance to the ruins."

Just then, Su Qingyue's voice came through the system, her tone urgent: "Yiming, something bad has happened! Demon cultivators have suddenly appeared before the ancient ruins in the Black Mang Mountains. They want to seize the treasures within the ruins, and the leader of the demon cultivators possesses the combat power of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. My men are no match for them at all, and the runes on the ruins are starting to show abnormalities, as if they are about to forcibly break through them!"

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically, a flash of fury crossing his eyes: "These remnants of the demon race are truly persistent! Lingxi, you stay here to take care of Yuling and Ziyao, and at the same time reorganize the forces in Black Rock City; I will immediately head to the Black Wilderness Mountains to stop the demon cultivators and protect the ancient ruins!"

Having said that, Huang Yiming's figure flashed, and he sped off towards the Black Mang Mountains. He thought to himself, the frequent appearances of demonic cultivators, and their targets being ancient ruins and time-travel fragments, clearly indicate a larger conspiracy. The foreshadowing of the Heavenly Evolution Sect's patriarch being controlled by demons in the previous volume now seems to have been cleverly concealed. It appears the demons have already laid a trap in the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld, and the ancient ruins likely hold a major secret related to the demonic invasion and the origin of the system.

Upon arriving at the ancient ruins in the Black Wilderness Mountains, Huang Yiming indeed saw a group of demonic cultivators forcibly deciphering the runes on the ruins. The leading demonic cultivator, dressed in a black robe, had a ferocious face and exuded the pressure of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, relentlessly suppressing the guards led by Su Qingyue. Su Qingyue fought back fiercely with a pistol in hand, but gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, already bearing multiple wounds.

"You remnants of the demon race, how dare you run wild here! Today I will slaughter you all!" Huang Yiming roared, his figure flashed, and he charged towards the leading demon cultivator. His combat power at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm was fully unleashed, and the black light of the Demon Abyss Token surged, directly approaching the demon cultivator.
