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

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the celebratory music abruptly ceased, and the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point. The arrogant provocation of the Hongmeng Realm envoy was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up countless ripples. The oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator swept across the entire area. The lower-level cultivators and envoys from lower-level realms below turned pale, their blood surging, and they instinctively retreated. Many even knelt on the ground, trembling all over—this was Huang Yiming's first direct confrontation with the Nascent Soul stage power of a high-level realm, the ultimate test of his dual-realm supreme authority, and a hook that followed the previous chapter, officially opening the prelude to the Hongmeng Realm's invasion.

Huang Yiming and the five goddesses remained unmoved, their auras gathering as they faced the oppressive force of the newcomer. Qin Yuling stepped forward, blocking Huang Yiming's path, her Cold Moon Sword slightly unsheathed, its sword aura sharp: "You audacious madman, how dare you provoke us at the Supreme Conferment Ceremony! You're courting death!" Zi Yao's demonic energy surged, her Demon Lord Whip hovering before her, and she coldly said, "You dare to run wild in the Azure Netherworld from the Primordial Realm? Today, you'll never return!"

The envoy from the Hongmeng Realm scoffed, his gaze sweeping over the five women, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain. His tone grew increasingly arrogant: "You five mortal women dare to challenge me? Lowly birth, mediocre talent, you only attain your current position thanks to Huang Yiming, a low-level Supreme. It's laughable!" His gaze returned to Huang Yiming, his tone mocking, "Huang Yiming, do you know that the Hongmeng Realm is a high-level realm, teeming with Nascent Soul stage cultivators? You, a mere mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, dare to oppose the Hongmeng Realm? You're utterly overestimating yourself! Do you think you can secure your position as a Supreme in both realms with a broken system and some low-level firearms? In my eyes, you're nothing more than a lucky mortal!"

These words not only mocked Huang Yiming but also severely humiliated the five women. They also negated all of Huang Yiming's efforts in the first nine volumes—from failing the college entrance exam and awakening the system, to redeeming Yang Xiu at Black Wind Ridge, to forming a bond with Qin Yuling at Qin Family Fortress, to urban business battles, rescuing Ling Xi from the Spirit Clan, and recruiting Zi Yao from the Demon Sect. From suppressing the rebellions of the Black Stone Sect and the Qingyun Sect to resisting the Celestial Realm and the Black Demon Realm, every step Huang Yiming took was paved with blood and sweat, and was by no means due to luck.

Huang Yiming's eyes turned completely cold, and the pressure around him grew increasingly fierce. The aura of a peak mid-Nascent Soul cultivator swept across the entire area like a tsunami, even faintly overshadowing the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage envoy from the Hongmeng Realm. No one knew that Huang Yiming had fused with the Dragon Clan's techniques, the power of the two realms' origins, and the enhancement of modern firearms. His combat power had already far surpassed that of his peers, and he could even contend with low-level Nascent Soul stage cultivators. This was his specialty of playing dumb to deceive others, echoing the classic tactic of repeatedly slapping the villains in the face in the first nine volumes.

"You're courting death!" Huang Yiming roared, his voice shaking the pillars of the Taihe Hall. "I rose from a mere mortal to where I am today not by luck, but by bloodshed, perseverance, and the support of those around me! You dare to insult my woman, challenge my authority, and defy the dignity of the Azure Netherworld. Today, I will make you pay a terrible price!"

Before the words were even finished, the envoy from the Hongmeng Realm's expression darkened. He flashed forward, raising his hand to condense a jet-black Hongmeng evil energy, aimed directly at Qin Yuling. He knew Qin Yuling was Huang Yiming's queen and the commander of the two-realm legion; he wanted to kill her first to intimidate Huang Yiming and vent his own arrogance. This attack was extremely fast, carrying the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although Qin Yuling was already at the early Nascent Soul stage, she could hardly withstand it. Her expression changed slightly, and she immediately gripped the Cold Moon Sword, circulating her cultivation technique to prepare to take the attack head-on.

"How dare you harm my Queen! You're courting death!" Huang Yiming roared in fury, his figure moving faster than the messenger, instantly blocking Qin Yuling's path. He raised his hand, gathering a golden spiritual energy, combining it with the power of the dragon clan's techniques and the laser cannon, colliding it with the primordial evil energy. "Boom—" A deafening roar erupted as the spiritual energy and evil energy intertwined and collided, the shockwave sweeping across the entire area. People below clutched their chests, retreating hastily, many with blood trickling from their mouths. The doors and windows of the Taihe Hall shattered instantly, glazed tiles falling to the ground.

The Hongmeng Realm envoy was jolted back by the shockwave, staggering as he looked away. His arrogance was instantly replaced by shock, and his eyes were filled with disbelief: "You...you actually have such strength? How could a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator possibly contend with my Nascent Soul stage combat power? This is impossible!" He had originally thought that Huang Yiming was just a low-level cultivator who relied on the system and firearms, and that his mid-Nascent Soul cultivation was no match for him. But that attack just now had actually made him feel apprehensive, and even a little embarrassed.

Huang Yiming sneered, his figure flashing as he instantly appeared before the envoy from the Hongmeng Realm. Looking down at him, his tone was icy and chilling: "You scum from the Hongmeng Realm, how dare you be so arrogant and domineering on my territory, insulting my woman? What you think is impossible is precisely my power! In the first nine volumes, I have slain countless villains more arrogant than you—the Black Stone Sect Master, the Azure Cloud Sect Elder, the Vanguard of the Celestial Immortal Realm—all of them. Today, it's your turn!"

Having said that, Huang Yiming raised his hand, gathering all his spiritual energy and combining it with the firepower of the Dragon Clan's techniques and the quantum tank, transforming it into a golden dragon-shaped beam of light that shot straight at the envoy's chest. The dragon-shaped beam of light carried a chilling pressure and moved with lightning speed. The envoy's expression changed drastically, and he no longer dared to underestimate it. He immediately gathered all his primordial evil energy to form a defensive barrier, attempting to withstand this attack.

However, the dragon-shaped beam of light was too fast and too powerful, instantly piercing through his evil energy defense and striking his chest. "Pfft—" The envoy spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. His face was as pale as paper, his aura was chaotic, and most of his Nascent Soul stage pressure had dissipated. He was no longer the arrogant and domineering person he had been before.

Huang Yiming flashed to the envoy's side, kicked him in the chest, and said in an icy tone, "Just now, you insulted my woman and challenged my authority. Now, it's time to pay the price!" With that, he raised his hand, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out, accurately striking the envoy's dantian. With a crisp crack, the envoy's dantian was shattered, his cultivation was completely destroyed, and he was utterly crippled. Huang Yiming is decisive in killing, always seeking revenge, and never a saint. This is the character setting that runs through all ten volumes, and it is also the most satisfying aspect for readers.

"No—my cultivation! Huang Yiming, if you dare to destroy my cultivation, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Hongmeng Realm will definitely avenge me, they will definitely raze the Qingming Realm to the ground, grind you to dust, and execute these five mortal women by a thousand cuts!" The envoy roared hysterically with a face full of despair, his eyes filled with fear and resentment, but he no longer had any power to resist.

"Oh? I'd like to see just how capable your Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Hongmeng Realm really are!" Huang Yiming sneered, his tone disdainful. He slightly increased the pressure on his foot, causing the envoy to let out a scream. "Go back and tell your leader that if he wants the Dragon Clan Key and wants to raze the Qingming Realm, he'll come in person! I'll be right here, waiting for him! If he dares to come, I'll make sure he never leaves, making the Hongmeng Realm pay a heavy price, and letting all forces that covet the Qingming Realm know how powerful I am!"

The dignitaries and envoys from lower realms below were all astonished to see Huang Yiming easily defeat the envoy from the Hongmeng Realm and cripple his cultivation. They knelt down in worship, shouting "Long live the Supreme One!" Their eyes were filled with awe and submission. This battle thoroughly demonstrated Huang Yiming's supreme influence and further solidified the resolve of all lower realms to submit. They all expressed their willingness to follow Huang Yiming and jointly resist the invasion of the Hongmeng Realm. Those forces that had previously looked down on Huang Yiming were now trembling with fear, terrified that Huang Yiming would hold them accountable for their previous disrespect.

The five women surrounded him, their eyes filled with emotion and admiration. Qin Yuling grasped Huang Yiming's hand, her voice firm: "My lord, thank you for protecting me. From now on, I will cultivate even harder, and together with you, resist the invasion of the Hongmeng Realm, and protect the two realms and our sisters." Ling Xi also said gently, "Yiming, you are amazing. We will all stay with you, never abandoning you, and face all crises together." Su Qingyue, Yang Xiu, and Zi Yao also nodded, their eyes filled with determination and tenderness.

Huang Yiming gently held the five women's hands, his eyes filled with tenderness: "With you all here, I fear nothing. The threat from the Hongmeng Realm is powerful, but as long as we work together and each fulfills our duties, we will surely be able to defeat them, protect our dual realms, and protect each other." His words gave the five women great confidence and greatly encouraged everyone present. The music rang out again, this time louder and more inspiring than before.

Subsequently, Huang Yiming ordered his men to drag the crippled envoy from the Hongmeng Realm away and expel him from the Qingming Realm. At the same time, he issued orders to strengthen defenses in both realms, integrating the forces of both realms, the Spirit Clan, the Demon Sect, Qin Family Fortress, the Trade Alliance, and others to prepare for an invasion by the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Hongmeng Realm. The five women immediately sprang into action: Qin Yuling trained the legions of both realms, Zi Yao purged the Demon Sect rebels, Su Qingyue stockpiled supplies, Ling Xi guarded the spiritual veins, and Yang Xiu managed internal affairs. Each performed their duties with perfect teamwork, echoing the division of labor established in the previous nine volumes.

Just as the envoy was being dragged away, he suddenly stopped, and with his last ounce of strength, roared, "Huang Yiming, don't be so smug! Our Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Hongmeng Realm are on their way. They not only want to seize the Dragon Clan's key, but also your system core, tear you to pieces, and raze the Qingming Realm to the ground! Just wait to die!"

A cold glint flashed in Huang Yiming's eyes, and his killing intent surged—the System Core was his foundation, a treasure left behind by the Dragon Clan, and a secret concerning all realms. The fact that the Hongmeng Realm also coveted the System Core made him realize that the Hongmeng Realm's conspiracy was far greater than he had imagined. He knew that an even greater crisis was about to unfold. The invasion of Nascent Soul stage cultivators would be the most severe test he had faced since becoming a dual-realm supreme being. The secrets of the System Core and the Dragon Clan's key were also about to be revealed, setting the stage for the next chapter.
