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

The Black Demon Fortress teetered on the brink of collapse, with rubble constantly falling from above. Evil and spiritual energies clashed and intertwined, producing a piercing roar. The Heavenly Evolution Sect Ancestor's evil aura surged, and he gripped a black longsword covered in eerie runes—the very same demonic weapon he had obtained through his collusion with evil cultivators from the Black Demon Realm—the Evil Soul Sword.

"Huang Yiming, back then you failed your college entrance exam and had nothing. If it weren't for the lucky awakening of the system, you wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes (echoing the foreshadowing of Huang Yiming's failure in the first volume)!" The patriarch of the Tianyan Sect sneered, slashing out a black sword aura with his sword. The sword aura, carrying a dense evil energy, aimed straight at Huang Yiming's heart. "Today, I will use this Evil Soul Sword to kill you, seize your system and the Dragon Clan Key, and dominate both realms!"

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold. He activated the "Dragon Emperor Technique," and golden spiritual energy transformed into a shield to block the black sword energy. The sword energy struck the shield, producing a huge explosion. The shield trembled violently, and Huang Yiming was forced to retreat, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth—the evil energy of the Black Demon Realm suppressed his spiritual energy, and coupled with the fact that the Heavenly Evolution Sect's patriarch was on par with him, defeating his opponent was by no means easy.

"Supreme One, I'm here to help you!" Qin Yuling, wielding the Azure Cloud Sword, flashed towards the Heavenly Evolution Sect Ancestor, her sword flashing as she aimed straight for his vital points. Zi Yao also acted simultaneously, her demonic whip lashing out to entangle the Heavenly Evolution Sect Ancestor's wrist, attempting to restrict his movements. Ling Xi quickly set up a purification array, cleansing the surrounding evil energy and relieving Huang Yiming's spiritual energy suppression.

The patriarch of the Tianyan Sect sneered, flicking his wrist to break free from the demonic whip's restraints. With a swing of his Evil Soul Sword, he forced Qin Yuling back. "You think you can stop me with just a few women?" he said contemptuously. "Qin Yuling, Qin Family Fort survived only because of my protection back then, yet you're helping outsiders against me now (echoing the entanglement between Qin Family Fort and the Tianyan Sect in Volume Two); Ziyao, when you were framed by the Demonic Sect's traitors, I secretly helped you, yet you repay kindness with enmity (foreshadowing the internal strife within the Demonic Sect in Volume Six); Lingxi, your master's death had nothing to do with me, it was the work of evil cultivators from the Black Demon Realm, yet you blindly helped Huang Yiming!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Ling tide roared, unleashing the power of the Spirit Clan. Countless spirit vines surged from the ground, binding the legs of the Heavenly Evolution Sect's patriarch. "I personally witnessed you joining forces with the evil cultivators of the Dark Demon Realm to kill my master, and you still want to deny it!" Qin Yuling also shouted angrily, "My Qin Family Fortress has never relied on your protection. Back then, you only wanted to annex the Qin Family Fortress. If it weren't for Yi Ming's help, the Qin Family Fortress would have ceased to exist long ago!"

The Heavenly Evolution Sect's patriarch's face darkened, his eyes blazing with killing intent: "Since you're all so stubborn, then let's all die together!" His evil aura erupted once more, and the Evil Soul Sword emitted a dazzling black light, slashing towards Qin Yuling, Zi Yao, and Ling Xi. Seeing this, Huang Yiming panicked. Ignoring the suppression of his spiritual energy, he unleashed his full power, unleashing the peak late-stage Nascent Soul realm combat strength. Golden spiritual energy transformed into a giant dragon, crashing into the black sword energy.

"Boom—" A massive explosion rang out, and Huang Yiming was thrown backward by the shockwave, crashing heavily into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Qin Yuling, Zi Yao, and Ling Xi were also affected by the shockwave, all falling to the ground injured. The patriarch of the Tianyan Sect laughed triumphantly: "Hahaha, Huang Yiming, you're finished! Give up the fight, and perhaps I can still spare your corpse!"

Huang Yiming struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still resolute. He knew he couldn't fall; if he did, Qin Yuling, Ziyao, Lingxi, and the people of the two realms would be doomed. He gripped the Dragon Clan Key tightly, silently reciting the incantation of the "Dragon Emperor's Mantra." The Dragon Clan Key emitted a dazzling golden light, intertwining with the spiritual energy within his body, and a powerful force was slowly awakening within him.

"What kind of power is this?" The Heavenly Evolution Sect patriarch's expression changed drastically. He felt the power within Huang Yiming's body constantly rising, and his heart was filled with fear. "Impossible... How can you possess such powerful power?" Huang Yiming sneered, and the golden light around him became even more intense. The aura of the dragon race spread out, suppressing the evil energy around him—the dragon bloodline within him had been completely activated by the Dragon Key!

"Back then, the Dragon Clan chose me as their successor precisely to resist the evil cultivators of the Dark Demon Realm and the Primordial Chaos Realm (echoing Chapter 388, Secrets of the Myriad Realms). Today, I will use the power of the Dragon Clan to utterly annihilate you!" Huang Yiming's figure flashed, instantly appearing before the patriarch of the Heavenly Evolution Sect. Golden spiritual energy erupted from his fingertips, piercing straight towards the patriarch's dantian. Upon seeing this, the patriarch of the Heavenly Evolution Sect was terrified and tried to retreat, but Huang Yiming grabbed him by the neck.

"No! I'm not reconciled! The Demon Lord will avenge me!" The Heavenly Evolution Sect Patriarch let out a shrill scream. Huang Yiming tightened his grip on his fingertips and crushed his neck, ending his life of countless evil deeds. After dealing with the Heavenly Evolution Sect Patriarch, Huang Yiming could no longer hold on and staggered. Qin Yuling, Ziyao, and Lingxi immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Yiming, how are you?" Lingxi's eyes were filled with heartache as she quickly channeled her spiritual energy into him to alleviate his injuries. Huang Yiming shook his head, his tone grave: "I'm fine, it's just that my spiritual energy was depleted too much. We need to leave here quickly, the Black Demon Fortress is about to collapse, and the Demon Lord of the Black Demon Realm should be arriving soon."

Without daring to delay, the group helped Huang Yiming run quickly towards the gates of Black Demon Castle. Just as they were about to step out, a cold voice echoed through the hall, causing the entire Black Demon Castle to tremble violently: "Huang Yiming, you killed my men, destroyed my altar, and you think you can leave?"

The group stopped and slowly turned around, only to see a figure clad in a black dragon robe emerge from the darkness. The figure exuded an overwhelming aura of malevolence, his cultivation having reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. The oppressive aura emanating from him made Huang Yiming and the others feel suffocated. His face was cold and his eyes icy; he held a black scepter in his hand—he was none other than the Demon Lord of the Black Demon Realm.

"Demon Lord!" Ling tide's face turned deathly pale, and she instinctively hid behind Huang Yiming—it was this very Demon Lord who personally ordered the attack on the Spirit Clan's holy land. Huang Yiming clenched his fists, his spiritual energy erupting once more, his dragon bloodline operating at full power. Even facing a Demon Lord at the early Nascent Soul stage, he showed no sign of backing down: "Black Demon Lord, you have committed countless evils, slaughtering the Spirit Clan, colluding with the Heavenly Evolution Sect, and disrupting the fusion of the two realms. Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and slay you!"

The Black Demon Lord sneered, his eyes filled with contempt: "You, a low-level cultivator at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, dare to be arrogant in front of me? I know you are the chosen successor of the Dragon Clan, and I know you have the help of the system, but in front of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, everything you have is in vain!" With that, he waved his hand, and the evil energy around him transformed into countless black blades, shooting towards Huang Yiming and the others.

Huang Yiming immediately shielded Qin Yuling, Zi Yao, and Ling Xi behind him, circulating his spiritual energy to form a protective shield. The black blade struck the shield, instantly riddling it with cracks, threatening to shatter at any moment. The Black Demon Lord stepped forward, his tone icy: "Huang Yiming, obediently hand over the system core and the Dragon Clan key, and have your five women submit to me, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I will ensure that you and they are utterly destroyed, never to be reincarnated!"

Huang Yiming's eyes were firm, without the slightest compromise: "If you want my things, if you want to hurt my woman, you'll have to die!" Just then, the system in his hand suddenly sounded an alarm, and a prompt appeared on the screen: The righteous envoy from the Hongmeng Realm is leading reinforcements and is rushing over. At the same time, the system detected that the scepter in the Black Demon Lord's hand contains a third system fragment (echoing Chapter 385, the Hook).

Huang Yiming's heart leaped with joy; it seemed there was still a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation. He looked at the Black Demon Lord, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Black Demon Lord, you think you've already won? Soon, you'll know what despair truly means!" The Black Demon Lord's face darkened, his eyes blazing with killing intent: "Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite!" With that, he raised his black scepter, his malevolent aura surging, preparing to unleash a full-force attack to utterly annihilate Huang Yiming and the others. Just as the Black Demon Lord was about to unleash his full power to slaughter them, reinforcements from the righteous forces of the Hongmeng Realm were about to arrive. The scepter in the Black Demon Lord's hand concealed a fragment of the system. Could Huang Yiming wait for the reinforcements, seize the system fragment, and turn the tide of this desperate situation?
