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

Deep within the Black Wind Mountains in the western part of the Azure Netherworld, howling winds and swirling demonic energy filled the air. The former branch of the Azure Cloud Sect had become a gathering place for a group of unruly sects. Black Bear, the leader of the Black Wind Sect, sat in the main seat, toying with a black demonic core. Listening to his subordinates' reports, his face was full of disdain: "Huang Yiming? Just a mortal brat who rose to power through the system. He barely managed to unify the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld, and dares to call himself the Supreme Being of Two Realms? He even wants to promote the fusion of two realms? Utterly delusional!"

The elders below echoed his sentiments. One elder, dressed in a gray robe, said, "The Sect Master is right! Huang Yiming was born into a mortal family, and even his foundation for cultivation was obtained through the system. He is utterly unworthy to be the Supreme Being of the Azure Netherworld. With the combined forces of our Black Wind Sect, Shattered Stone Sect, and Sunset Glow Sect, plus the assistance of the remnants of the Demon Clan, we will surely crush Huang Yiming's forces and reclaim control of the Azure Netherworld!"

This elder was a remnant of the former Black Stone Sect. He had narrowly escaped when Huang Yiming destroyed the Black Stone Sect in Volume 6, and now he had joined the Black Wind Sect, determined to seek revenge. The Black Wind Sect and other sects were already dissatisfied with Huang Yiming's rule, and were further misled by the remnants of the demon race. They believed that Huang Yiming's dual-realm fusion would pollute the spiritual energy of the Azure Nether Realm and damage the foundation of cultivators. Therefore, they secretly colluded to destroy the dual-realm material transfer station—the core of the dual-realm material channel that Huang Yiming had opened up after establishing the Trade Alliance in Volume 7. Once destroyed, dual-realm trade would come to a standstill, and dual-realm fusion would be severely hindered.

"Hmph, does Huang Yiming think he can secure his supreme position just by relying on firearms and systems?" Black Bear sneered. "Yesterday we attacked a dual-realm supply depot, seizing a large amount of modern weapons and cultivation resources. In a few days, we will join forces to raid the western stronghold of the Great Ming Dynasty, letting Huang Yiming know that the Azure Netherworld ultimately belongs to our cultivation sect!"

Just then, a disciple rushed in, his face pale, and said, "Sect Master, something terrible has happened! Supreme Huang, along with Queen Qin Yuling, Demon Lord Ziyao, and the Legion of Two Realms, has arrived at the foot of the Black Wind Mountains, threatening to wipe out all sects that dare to defy us!"

Black Bear's expression changed, but he quickly stood up, forcing himself to remain calm. "What are you afraid of? We have the combined forces of three major sects and the remnants of the Demon Clan to help us. Are we afraid of a mere mortal brat? Pass down the order: everyone prepare for battle! Today, Huang Yiming will die in the Black Wind Mountains!"

At the foot of the Black Wind Mountains, Huang Yiming, dressed in a dragon-patterned imperial robe, rode a snow-white spirit rhinoceros beast. Qin Yuling, in silver armor and holding a long sword, stood to his left, while Zi Yao, in a black demon robe and surrounded by demonic energy, stood to his right. Behind them stood a well-organized army from both realms—including cultivators from the Azure Netherworld and special forces from the city, equipped with heavy weapons such as laser cannons and quantum tanks, exuding an imposing aura.

"Yiming, the Black Wind Sect and other sects are stubborn and incorrigible, even colluding with remnants of the demon race to sabotage the dual-realm supply transfer station. Today, we should just wipe them out as a warning to others," Qin Yuling said softly, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes. She had become accustomed to Huang Yiming's decisiveness and ruthlessness since the second volume of Qin Family Fortress, and she never hesitated to deal with forces that hindered the integration of the dual realms and harmed Huang Yiming.

Zi Yao chimed in, "That's right. These sects are short-sighted and have been bewitched by the remnants of the demon race. Keeping them around will only cause trouble in the future. Moreover, when the Black Stone Sect was destroyed in the sixth volume, there were still many remnants hiding in these sects. It's a good opportunity to wipe them out all at once and avenge those who were harmed by the Black Stone Sect."

Huang Yiming nodded, his gaze fixed on the mountain gate of the Black Wind Mountains, his tone icy: "I gave them a chance, to submit and cooperate with the fusion of the two realms, but they showed no remorse. Instead, they colluded with external enemies and disrupted the order of the two realms. Today, I will wipe out these unruly scoundrels, so that the entire Azure Netherworld will know that no one can violate my rules!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yiming raised his hand, signaling the two-realm legions to slowly advance and arrive at the foot of the Black Wind Sect's mountain gate. Black Bear, leading disciples from the three major sects, wielding magical weapons, rushed out of the gate and stood opposite them, looking down at them with mocking disdain: "Huang Yiming, you've finally come! But do you think you can wipe us out with your rabble? Relying on your system and firearms, you're no true supreme being. If you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one duel. If you can defeat me, I will lead all the sects to submit!"

Huang Yiming's lips curled into a cold smile. He leaped off the Spirit Rhinoceros Beast and slowly walked towards the black bear: "Fine, I'll grant your wish. However, if I win, not only will you all submit, but everyone who colludes with the remnants of the Demon Clan will be executed!"

"It's a deal!" A hint of smugness flashed in the black bear's eyes. He was at the peak of the late Golden Core stage and believed that he was invincible in the western part of the Azure Netherworld. Huang Yiming, on the other hand, was only at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. He had already heard that Huang Yiming's cultivation was mostly built up by the system and resources, and his actual combat ability was not good at all.

Black Bear struck first, wielding a massive spiked club imbued with the power of his Golden Core, and hurled it at Huang Yiming. The club whistled through the air, its power astonishing. Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold. He deliberately concealed his cultivation, releasing only the aura of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. He seemingly dodged to the side in a disheveled manner, a trace of blood even trickling from the corner of his mouth—he intended to play dumb, letting Black Bear become complacent before striking him down in one fell swoop, thus intimidating all the sects.

"Hahaha! Huang Yiming, you're nothing special!" Seeing Huang Yiming injured, the black bear became even more arrogant. "I thought you were so powerful, but you're just a nobody with a reputation! Today, I will kill you and become the new supreme ruler of the Azure Netherworld!" With that, he swung his spiked club again and smashed it down on Huang Yiming's head, each blow aimed at killing him.

Seeing this, Qin Yuling and Ziyao wanted to step forward to help, but Huang Yiming stopped them with a look. They understood that Huang Yiming was pretending to be weak to deceive them, wanting to completely intimidate these sects, so they suppressed their worries and quietly observed.

Just as the spiked club was about to touch Huang Yiming's head, a cold light flashed in Huang Yiming's eyes, and he instantly unleashed the pressure of the peak early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His spiritual energy surged, and at the same time, he raised his hand and waved, sending out a golden core that resonated with the quantum tank in the distance. A blazing laser beam shot out instantly, merging with the power of the golden core, and blasted towards the black bear.

The black bear's expression changed drastically. He tried to dodge, but it was too late—the laser beam and the power of the golden core struck his chest precisely, instantly piercing his body. His golden core shattered, and his life force vanished in an instant. "No... impossible... how could you have such formidable combat power..." The black bear's eyes widened, his face filled with resentment. He slowly collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.

Seeing this, all the disciples of the various sects trembled with fear, dropping their magical treasures and kneeling to beg for mercy: "Greetings, Supreme Huang! We are willing to submit and dare not resist again. We are willing to cooperate with the fusion of the two realms. We beg Supreme Huang to spare our lives!" The elder from the former Black Stone Sect attempted to escape, but was struck by a burst of demonic energy from Zi Yao and died instantly. Zi Yao coldly said, "Colluding with the remnants of the demon race, death is not a pity!"

Huang Yiming's gaze swept across the entire area, and he said in a deep voice, "Since you are willing to submit, I will spare your lives. But from this day forward, all sects must obey the orders of the Great Ming Dynasty, cooperate with the fusion of the two realms, and must not collude with the remnants of the demon race again, nor disrupt the order of the two realms—otherwise, the Black Bear will be your fate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! We will obey Your Majesty's orders!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices trembling and their eyes filled with awe. Qin Yuling stepped forward and said softly, "Yiming, are you alright? You really scared me to death just now." She reached out and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Huang Yiming's mouth, her eyes filled with heartache.

Huang Yiming held her hand and smiled gently, "I'm fine. I was just pretending to be weak so that I could completely intimidate them." Zi Yao also stepped forward and said, "That was really satisfying! Not only did they wipe out the resisting sects, but they also killed the remnants of the Black Stone Sect. It can be considered as avenging the grudge from back then."

Huang Yiming nodded, his gaze fixed on the western sky of the Azure Netherworld. He thought to himself, "The eastern part of the Azure Netherworld has been unified, and now the west has submitted as well. The foundation for the fusion of the two realms is becoming increasingly solid." Just then, a subjugated sect elder cautiously stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have something to report—an envoy from the Celestial Immortal Realm is about to arrive in the Azure Netherworld, and his attitude is extremely arrogant. He claims he wants to see you, seemingly harboring resentment."

A hint of seriousness flashed in Huang Yiming's eyes: The Celestial Realm! It's the Celestial Realm again! The unusual activity at the Urban Immortal Cultivation Academy in Chapter 366 is related to the Celestial Realm. Now, the Celestial Realm's envoy is about to arrive; it seems their intervention is drawing ever closer. He clenched his fist, thinking to himself: No matter what the Celestial Realm's envoy's purpose is, I will not allow them to disrupt the fusion of the two realms, nor will I allow them to bully me, Huang Yiming. A new confrontation is about to begin.
