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

On the eastern border, yellow sand filled the sky. Five thousand cultivators from the Cold Moon Sect, Thunderclap Sect, and Flowing Cloud Sect stood in neat formation, their imposing presence overwhelming. The Cold Moon Sect Master Yue Wushuang, the Thunderclap Sect Master Lei Zhentian, and the Flowing Cloud Sect Master Liu Rufeng stood at the front of the formation, their expressions arrogant, their late-stage Golden Core aura emanating from them as they stared intently at Huang Yiming and his group.

When Huang Yiming led the five women and eight thousand elite troops from the Two Realms Legion to the border, the cultivators of the three major sects immediately released their spiritual energy, condensing it into a massive wall of energy that blocked their path. Yue Wushuang, dressed in white and wielding the Cold Moon Sword, sneered, "Huang Yiming, you destroyed the Heavenly Evolution Sect and the three other high-level sects, slaughtering cultivators with cruelty and inhumanity. Today, our three sects unite to act on behalf of Heaven, to kill you, and to restore peace to the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld!"

Lei Zhentian, wielding the Thunder Hammer, was a burly man with a booming voice: "Huang Yiming, you are nothing but a mortal brat who rose to power only by chance obtaining a system, yet you dare to covet the authority of the Azure Netherworld. Today, we will cripple your cultivation, seize your system and its fragments, and ensure you never rise again!"

Liu Rufeng, holding the Flowing Cloud Fan, said with a sinister expression, "Besides, we've already contacted the high-level sects in the west, and they'll soon send a large army to support you. At that time, you won't be able to escape. You'd better surrender obediently, hand over all your treasures, and perhaps we can spare your life!"

Huang Yiming sneered, unleashing the full pressure of his early Nascent Soul stage power. The Dragon Spirit Sword trembled slightly in his hand, its rich dragon aura spreading out, instantly suppressing the late Golden Core stage power of the three sect leaders. "Acting on behalf of Heaven? Coveting power? You're nothing but a bunch of cowardly clowns who dare not submit and are merely making a last-ditch effort! The support from the western sects? Even if they come, they can't save you! Today, I'll show you the consequences of resisting me!"

"Arrogant!" Yue Wushuang roared, her figure flashing as she charged towards Huang Yiming with her Cold Moon Sword, which carried a bone-chilling cold aura. She unleashed a massive white energy blast, slashing down with chilling force. Lei Zhentian and Liu Rufeng also attacked simultaneously: their Thunder Hammers unleashed a bolt of lightning, and their Flowing Cloud Fans unleashed a wind blade. The three energies struck at the same time, their momentum terrifying.

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold. Without dodging or evading, he activated the Dragon Spirit Technique, and the Dragon Spirit Sword suddenly erupted with golden light, as dense dragon power surged into his body. He raised his hand and swung the sword, a golden sword aura colliding with three other energies. After a deafening roar, the three energies instantly dissipated. Yue Wushuang, Lei Zhentian, and Liu Rufeng were thrown back by the shockwave, their hands numb, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"What kind of power is this? It's so strong!" Lei Zhentian exclaimed in shock. He never expected that Huang Yiming's combat power could reach such a level, defeating the combined attack of the three with just one move.

"This is the power of the Dragon Clan, a secret technique from a thousand years ago. Today, we will use your blood to pay tribute to the heroic spirits of the Dragon Clan!" Huang Yiming sneered, his figure flashing as he charged towards Yue Wushuang with the Dragon Spirit Sword in hand, golden sword energy aimed straight for her vitals. His speed was lightning fast. Yue Wushuang's expression changed drastically; she hurriedly swung her Cold Moon Sword to defend, but the golden sword energy shattered the blade, the remaining force striking her chest. Yue Wushuang screamed and flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her dantian was completely shattered, and she died instantly.

Seeing this, Lei Zhentian and Liu Rufeng were terrified and turned to flee, but were intercepted by Qin Yuling and Zi Yao. Qin Yuling, wielding a longsword, unleashed her full power as a Golden Core cultivator, the power of dragon scales merging into her body. With a single strike, golden sword energy shot straight at Lei Zhentian. Zi Yao, meanwhile, activated a high-level Demonic Sect technique, her demonic energy surging, her soft sword lightly raised, black energy striking Liu Rufeng.

"You are no match for us. Surrender obediently, and perhaps we will spare your lives!" Qin Yuling shouted coldly, swinging her longsword again, the sword energy aimed straight at Lei Zhentian's throat. Lei Zhentian had no way out and could only fight desperately, but he was killed by Qin Yuling in one move—his cultivation at the late stage of the Golden Core realm was no match for Qin Yuling's dragon scale power.

Seeing this, Liu Rufeng's fear intensified. He tried to surrender, but Ziyao pierced his dantian with a sword. Ziyao sneered, "Weren't you very arrogant just now? Now you know fear? Too late!" Liu Rufeng screamed and died on the spot.

With the three sect leaders killed, their disciples were terrified and immediately laid down their weapons, kneeling in surrender, no longer daring to resist. Huang Yiming released the pressure of an early Nascent Soul cultivator and roared at the surrendered cultivators: "From this day forward, you belong to the Two Realms Legion and obey my orders. Anyone who harbors disloyalty will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes! We are willing to submit and obey the sect leader's orders!" The surrendering cultivators responded in unison, their tone respectful, no longer displaying their previous arrogance.

Having dealt with the stubborn resistance of the three major sects, Huang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Su Qingyue stepped forward and said, "Yiming, the envoys from the western sects have arrived at the border. They haven't come rashly, but are observing from a distance, seemingly testing our strength. Moreover, I learned through the system that the high-level sects in the west have united to form the Western Allied Army, preparing to invade the eastern territory. Leading them is the sect leader of the number one sect in the west—the Xuanbing Sect, who possesses mid-Nascent Soul stage combat power and is extremely powerful."

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold, a hint of seriousness flashing in them: "Western Allied Forces? Mid-Nascent Soul stage combat power? It seems the crisis we face is more serious than we imagined. However, we have now subdued all the forces in the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld, obtained the Dragon Clan's treasure and the fourth time travel fragment. As long as I break through to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible and complete the cultivation of the 'Dragon Spirit Technique,' I will be able to contend with the Xuanbing Sect Master."

Lingxi said softly, "Yiming, I can sense that the resonance between the Dragon Spirit Sword and the fourth fragment of the teleportation device, as well as the mysterious jade pendant, is getting stronger and stronger. If we can find a place with abundant spiritual energy and fuse their powers, perhaps you can quickly break through to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, or even unlock more Dragon Clan secret techniques."

Huang Yiming nodded: "Alright, let's return to the Black Mang Mountains now. The spiritual energy there is abundant, and it's protected by demon beast tribes, so it's safe and reliable. Qingyue, you're in charge of coordinating resources between the two realms, strengthening the defenses of the eastern border, and preventing the western allied forces from taking advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack; Yuling and Ziyao, you lead the elite troops of the legion, reorganize the surrendered cultivators, and train the army; Lingxi and Yangxiu, you come back to the Black Mang Mountains with me to assist me in fusing the power of the fragments, the jade pendant, and the Dragon Spirit Sword to break through my cultivation level."

"Yes!" the five women responded in unison and immediately split up to carry out their tasks. Huang Yiming led Ling Xi and Yang Xiu back to the Black Mang Mountains, found a cave rich in spiritual energy, sat cross-legged, and placed the three ancient time-travel fragments, the fourth fragment, the mysterious jade pendant, and the Dragon Spirit Sword in front of him, beginning to fuse their power.

The fragments and the jade pendant's light intertwined, the golden light of the Dragon Spirit Sword merging into them, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy and dragon power flowed into Huang Yiming's body. He circulated the "Dragon Spirit Technique," transforming this power into his own cultivation, and the barrier of the early Nascent Soul stage slowly loosened, approaching the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

Lingxi and Yang Xiu stood guard outside the cave, vigilantly observing their surroundings to prevent anyone from disturbing Huang Yiming's breakthrough. Lingxi activated the power of the spiritual plants, setting up a defensive barrier around the cave; Yang Xiu, on the other hand, checked the healing pills and spiritual herbs, ready to provide support at any time.

About two hours later, Huang Yiming's power suddenly erupted, and the pressure of the peak early Nascent Soul stage swept across the entire area. The spiritual energy around the cave fluctuated violently, and the trees swayed. He slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing within them, and the Dragon Spirit Sword in his hand emitted a clear sword sound—clearly, he had successfully broken through to the peak early Nascent Soul stage, and his combat power had greatly increased.

"You did it! Yiming, you've broken through to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage!" Lingxi and Yang Xiu's eyes were filled with joy as they rushed forward. Huang Yiming nodded and stood up, feeling the powerful energy surging within him. A smile played on his lips: "That's right, I've broken through! Now, even if the Xuanbing Sect Master himself came, I'm confident I could contend with him!"

Just then, a system notification sounded: "Host has broken through to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, fusing with the Dragon Clan's supreme treasure, four ancient time-travel fragments, and the system's core jade pendant, unlocking the Dragon Clan's secret technique—Dragon Transformation. Simultaneously, the Western Allied Forces have been detected to have departed and are heading towards the eastern border, expected to arrive in three days. Furthermore, faint traces of myriad worlds have been detected on the five women, originating from the same source as the system and the fragments, suggesting their origins may be related to the myriad worlds."

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes: "The five women's backgrounds are related to the myriad realms?" He looked at Lingxi and Yang Xiu, and sure enough, he saw a faint golden mark appear on their wrists, the pattern similar to the jade pendant and fragments. Lingxi and Yang Xiu were also stunned, staring at the mark on their wrists, their faces full of doubt.

"It seems that the five women's backgrounds are not simple. Their secrets in the previous volume may all be related to the myriad realms." Huang Yiming thought to himself. At the same time, he realized that the attack of the Western Allied Forces was just the beginning. The secrets of the myriad realms, the backgrounds of the five women, and the conspiracy of the demon race were about to be revealed one by one. He had to become stronger as soon as possible in order to protect the five women and the two realms.
