The young man in blue howled in agony, clutching his bleeding arm, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Ethan Clark.

He was five whole realms higher than Ethan Clark, yet he hadn’t lasted even a single round in Ethan Clark’s hands. When did this good-for-nothing become so terrifying?

A wave of regret surged in the young man’s heart—he regretted provoking this fiend.

The young man’s miserable appearance even startled the maid Olivia Brooks, who cried out in fright, her little face turning pale as she hurriedly took the chance to run behind Ethan Clark.

“Don’t… don’t kill me…”

Seeing Ethan Clark walking toward him, the young man’s eyes instantly filled with desperation, and with a thud, he actually knelt down before Ethan Clark.

“Go back and tell Brian Clark and Emily Foster, those two dogs, that I’ll come for them myself!”

Ethan Clark’s icy gaze lingered on the young man for a moment, then he spoke indifferently.

“Yes, yes… I’ll definitely pass on the message!”

The young man kowtowed several times to Ethan Clark as if granted amnesty, then turned and fled, clutching his broken arm.

“Young master, how did you become so powerful?”

Olivia Brooks’s eyes were full of surprise, even tinged with a hint of admiration.

Olivia Brooks felt that her young master seemed different from before—his temperament and personality had changed greatly—but this new young master made Olivia Brooks feel so warm.

Ethan Clark smiled gently, dotingly ruffled Olivia Brooks’s little head, and said, “Olivia Brooks, how many spirit stones do we have left?”

Olivia Brooks tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, “Young master, you gave away most of our rare treasures and precious elixirs, but we still have quite a few spirit stones—about ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones left!”

“That many still?”

Ethan Clark was slightly taken aback. He had only asked casually, but didn’t expect Ethan Clark to be so wealthy, with so many spirit stones remaining.

“Young master, you used to have even more spirit stones. You’re the son of the mighty Demon Suppressing King—every month, special envoys would deliver resources from the capital. But in recent months, it’s been less and less. This month, nothing was sent at all!”

Olivia Brooks said with a bit of pride, but her voice grew softer at the end.

She snuck a glance at Ethan Clark, and seeing that the young master’s expression was calm and not angry, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fewer and fewer resources, huh? Looks like those old bastards in the family have been skimming off the top!” Ethan Clark sneered inwardly.

“Olivia Brooks, bring me all the spirit stones, then stand guard outside the room for me. Don’t let anyone in!”

Ethan Clark said slowly.

“Yes, young master!” Olivia Brooks replied excitedly.

She was just a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl, cheerful and simple by nature. The fright and unpleasantness from earlier seemed to have vanished, and she eagerly followed the young master’s instructions, bringing the spirit stones into the room.

Over ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones were piled on the ground like a small mountain. Ethan Clark entered the room and sat cross-legged right on top of the pile.

“If I want revenge on the True Dragon Supreme, if I want to find Jinse, I must rapidly increase my cultivation. Ten thousand years ago, I broke through to the Supreme Realm within a hundred years—this life, I’ll definitely return to the Supreme Realm in even less time!”

A powerful confidence shone in Ethan Clark’s eyes.

“Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art, devour for me!”

In Ethan Clark’s mind, a mysterious scripture appeared. As he slowly activated it, the vast spiritual energy contained within the pile of spirit stones surged into his limbs and bones at an astonishing speed!

Boom!

Ethan Clark seemed to transform into a massive black hole, endless spiritual energy rushing into him, making his whole body radiate dazzling light.

The Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art was the supreme technique Ethan Clark had obtained ten thousand years ago in an ancient ruin. When cultivated to the extreme, it could even devour the heavens and earth—utterly terrifying.

Ethan Clark’s title as the Heaven-Swallowing Supreme came from this very art.

But in his previous life, Ethan Clark only obtained the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art after breaking through to the Marquis Realm. Now, Ethan Clark was confident he could return to the Supreme Realm within fifty years!

Chapter 0003: Two Supreme Statues

There are nine major realms in martial arts: Vein Opening, True Qi, Spirit Transformation, Dragon-Tiger, Grandmaster, Heaven-Human, Marquis, Emperor, and Supreme!

Each major realm is divided into nine levels. When you reach the pinnacle of the ninth level, you can break through the limits of humanity and achieve the legendary Supreme Divine Realm.

In his previous life, Ethan Clark was a peerless powerhouse at the ninth level of the Supreme Realm, the foremost among the ten titled Supremes, known as the Heaven-Swallowing Supreme—largely thanks to the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art.

Legend has it there are a total of 108 secret arts in the world, each containing the mysteries of all living things. Every secret art is a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth—mysterious and powerful.

The Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art ranks twelfth among the 108 secret arts.

The Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art is incredibly mysterious. In Ethan Clark’s mind, it even surpasses those Supreme-level techniques. Even ten thousand years ago, he never cultivated it to perfection.

Now, activating the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art once again, it felt completely natural. Over ten thousand spirit stones turned into a blazing storm, instantly enveloping Ethan Clark.
