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

The black, malevolent energy erupting from the evil artifact swept in like a tsunami, instantly engulfing Huang Yiming. The malevolent energy invaded his body, tearing at his meridians, causing him excruciating pain and causing his combat power to plummet. The incantation uttered by Mo Yuan grew faster and faster, and the border sky gradually darkened. An even more powerful malevolent energy than Mo Yuan's slowly emerged from the void. A colossal demonic phantom pierced through the clouds, standing between heaven and earth, its aura far surpassing that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. This caused the spiritual energy of the entire border to become chaotic, and the soldiers of the two-realm legions trembled in fear, unable to even grip their weapons.

"Hahaha! Huang Yiming, do you think you can defeat me?" Mo Yuan laughed wildly, his eyes filled with evil and arrogance. "This is a high-level demonic phantom I summoned, its combat power comparable to the late Nascent Soul stage. Today, I will let this phantom destroy you, the five women, and the entire eastern border!"

The high-ranking demonic phantom let out a deafening roar, raising its hand and unleashing a massive black palm print towards Huang Yiming. Wherever the palm print passed, the air distorted, the ground collapsed, and even the defensive array was shattered. Huang Yiming, enveloped in evil energy and with damaged meridians, was utterly unable to withstand the attack. He could only watch helplessly as the black palm print hurtled towards him, his heart filled with resentment—he hadn't yet ascertained the five women's origins, hadn't unlocked the full interdimensional travel function, and hadn't yet protected the people of both realms; how could he die like this?

"Yiming!" Seeing this, the five women's eyes were filled with despair. They struggled with all their might to break free from the enemy's entanglement and rushed towards Huang Yiming, wanting to shield him from this fatal blow. Qin Yuling's spiritual energy surged, unleashing the full power of her mid-stage Golden Core realm, as she thrust her longsword towards the black palm print; Zi Yao activated a secret technique of the Demonic Sect, her demonic energy surging, and she swung her soft sword, the black energy directly approaching the black palm print; Su Qingyue commanded her soldiers to fully activate the rocket launchers, bombarding the black palm print; Ling Xi activated the power of all the spiritual plants within her body, green light spreading, forming a spiritual plant barrier in front of Huang Yiming; Yang Xiu, holding a healing jade pendant, rushed towards Huang Yiming, attempting to heal him and alleviate his pain.

However, their combat power was far too weak compared to the high-level demonic phantom. Their attacks and defenses were as insignificant as ants before the black palm print. The black palm print instantly shattered their attacks and barriers. The five women were blasted away by the shockwave, spitting blood, and crashing heavily to the ground, severely injured and unable to get up. They could only watch helplessly as the black palm print struck Huang Yiming, their eyes filled with tears and despair.

Just as the black palm print was about to strike Huang Yiming, the mysterious jade pendant and five ancient time-traveling fragments in his possession (the fourth fragment was in Huang Yiming's hand, and the fifth was carried by Mo Yuan, now drawn by evil energy and automatically flying towards Huang Yiming) suddenly erupted with dazzling light. Golden and black light intertwined, forming an indestructible light barrier that blocked the black palm print's attack. Simultaneously, the power of the jade pendant and fragments continuously flowed into Huang Yiming's body, repairing his damaged meridians and purifying the evil energy within him. His aura began to rapidly recover, even propelling him towards the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"This is..." Upon seeing this, Mo Yuan's eyes were filled with disbelief. He never expected that the mysterious jade pendant and the five ancient time travel fragments could unleash such powerful force, even able to withstand the attacks of high-level demonic phantoms.

Huang Yiming slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing within them. The oppressive aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was fully released, instantly suppressing the evil energy of the high-level demonic phantom. He stood up, holding the fused five ancient time-traveling fragments and the mysterious jade pendant in his hand. The Dragon Spirit Sword trembled slightly in his grasp, emitting a clear sword cry, and a powerful force erupted from within him—a sign that the system was about to upgrade, a signal that the interdimensional travel function was about to be unlocked.

"Demon Abyss, do you think you can defeat me by summoning a high-level demonic phantom?" Huang Yiming sneered, his tone filled with majesty and killing intent. "Today, I will show you what true power is, and the true majesty of the Supreme Lord of the Mystic Realms!"

He flashed forward, wielding the Dragon Spirit Sword, and charged towards the high-level demonic phantom. At this moment, the power of the five fragments of the teleportation device, the mysterious jade pendant, and the dragon clan's techniques had merged. The instant the Dragon Spirit Sword was swung, a golden sword aura, imbued with the power of both realms' origins and the power of the dragon clan, aimed directly at the high-level demonic phantom's vitals. The high-level demonic phantom roared, raising its hand to unleash a black palm print, which collided violently with the golden sword aura. After the deafening roar, a towering shockwave erupted. The high-level demonic phantom, struck by the sword aura, trembled violently, its evil energy gradually becoming transparent amidst the chaos.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Mo Yuan roared madly. He never imagined that Huang Yiming could break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage and even defeat a high-level demonic phantom. Unwilling to accept defeat, he activated the evil artifact again, his evil energy surging as he tried to summon the phantom once more. However, the evil energy within him was suppressed by the power of the jade pendant and its fragments, making it impossible to succeed.

Huang Yiming gave Mo Yuan no chance to catch his breath, appearing in front of him in a flash. He unleashed a golden sword aura from the Dragon Spirit Sword, aiming straight for Mo Yuan's throat. Mo Yuan's expression changed drastically as he tried to dodge, but he was bound by the power of the jade pendant and its fragments, unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the sword aura struck his throat.

"No—!" Mo Yuan let out a shrill scream, his body slowly collapsing, dying instantly. The evil weapon in his hand automatically flew towards Huang Yiming and was stored in his storage space. At the same time, the fifth ancient time-travel fragment merged with the other four, forming a complete time-travel crystal, radiating a dazzling light that echoed the mysterious jade pendant. A system notification sounded in Huang Yiming's mind.

"Detected that all five ancient time-travel fragments have been collected and fused with the system's core jade pendant, triggering the system's ultimate upgrade. Upgrade in progress... 10%... 50%... 100%! Upgrade successful!"

"Unlock ultimate function: Interdimensional travel (prototype), the interdimensional passage is permanently stable, allowing free transport of large numbers of people and supplies, unlimited storage space, unlocking part of the interdimensional map, unlocking the system exploration function, which can explore the aura and hidden secrets of the interdimensional world."

"Reward: The host's cultivation level has been raised to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, the proficiency of the Dragon Clan's techniques has been maxed out, the Dragon Clan's secret technique - Dragon Transformation has been unlocked, and the Demon Abyss Token has been evolved, allowing the host to completely absorb the evil energy of the Demon Clan and convert it into his own combat power."

The moment the system upgrade was completed, a powerful force surged into Huang Yiming's body, officially propelling his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His aura was even stronger than before, and the light of the Dragon Spirit Sword shone even brighter. Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Two Realms Legion shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Their voices resounded throughout the heavens and earth, their hearts filled with awe and joy.

Huang Yiming flashed to the five women's side, helped them up one by one, circulated his spiritual energy to repair their damaged meridians, and said gently, "I'm sorry for making you suffer. I'm fine now. We won." The five women leaned against him, their eyes filled with tears but also with joy—this difficult battle was finally over, Huang Yiming broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the system also completed its ultimate upgrade.

"Yiming, we knew you could win." Yang Xiu spoke gently, wiping away her tears. Qin Yuling nodded, her eyes filled with pride: "Yiming, you're now in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. No one can bully us anymore, no one can threaten our dynasty."

Huang Yiming smiled and looked towards the Western Allied Army's camp. Without the leadership of Mo Yuan and the support of high-ranking demonic phantoms, the Western Allied Army's disciples and controlled demonic beasts instantly descended into chaos, laying down their weapons and kneeling in surrender, no longer daring to resist. Huang Yiming ordered the incorporation of the willing cultivators and demonic beasts, the execution of the stubborn elements, the complete eradication of the remaining forces of the Western Allied Army, and the seizure of the Allied Army's supplies and magical treasures.

Just as the soldiers were clearing the camp, Huang Yiming suddenly noticed that the evil artifact in his storage space was slightly warm, creating a strange resonance with the mysterious jade pendant. A blurry image appeared within the evil artifact: a thousand years ago, the Spirit Clan and the Dragon Clan joined forces to fight against the Demon Clan. The system was created by the two clans together to protect the Azure Netherworld; and the ancestors of the five women were core members of the Spirit Clan and the Dragon Clan. They all carried the Mark of the Myriad Realms, which was the key to opening the Myriad Realms Passage.

Huang Yiming's eyes were filled with shock as he finally learned the origin of the system and the secret of the five women's backgrounds. But at that moment, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura from across the myriad realms emanating from the void—an aura far stronger than that of the high-level demonic phantom, and filled with malevolence, seemingly indicating that evil forces from across the myriad realms were spying on the Azure Netherworld, intending to invade it and seize the system and the teleportation crystal.

At the same time, the myriad realm marks on the five women's wrists suddenly became exceptionally bright, resonating strongly with the myriad realms' aura in the void. The five women all felt dizzy, and their spiritual energy became chaotic. Huang Yiming was greatly alarmed and immediately circulated his spiritual energy to soothe the five women, while simultaneously releasing the pressure of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to resist the myriad realms' aura in the void.

He knew that the victory in this great battle was not the end, but the beginning. The system upgrade unlocked the rudimentary form of interdimensional travel, the mystery of the five women's origins was revealed, and evil forces in the myriad worlds began to covet the Azure Netherworld. A greater crisis was quietly brewing. As the Xuanhuan Co-Lord of the Great Ming Dynasty and the guardian of both worlds, he had to become stronger as quickly as possible, unlock the full interdimensional travel function, uncover the secrets of the myriad worlds, and protect the five women and the people of both worlds.

Just then, the system notification sounded again: "The aura of evil forces from all realms has been detected rapidly approaching the Azure Netherworld. It is recommended that the host consolidate the rule of the Great Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, improve his own and the five women's cultivation, gather the power of the Marks of All Realms, unlock the complete function of traveling through all realms, and prepare to deal with the invasion of all realms."

Huang Yiming gripped the teleportation crystal and the mysterious jade pendant tightly, a resolute glint in his eyes. He looked at the five women beside him, his tone gentle yet firm: "Sisters, our war is not over yet. The evil forces of the myriad realms are spying on us. We must become stronger as soon as possible, unlock the full multiverse teleportation function, uncover all the secrets, protect our two realms together, and explore the myriad realms together."

The five women nodded, their eyes filled with determination, and tightly grasped Huang Yiming's hand. They knew that the road ahead was destined to be fraught with difficulties and dangers, but as long as they were of one mind and had Huang Yiming by their side, they would have nothing to fear. Just then, news came from Black Rock City: the remaining sects in the western part of the Central Profound Realm had come to submit; abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations had also appeared in the western part of the Azure Nether Realm, suggesting the existence of a Myriad Realms Relic. The evil forces of the Myriad Realms were approaching, and the Myriad Realms Relic was emerging in the west, concealing new opportunities and dangers.
