The Heir's Return
After disappearing for five years, Javon Forger returns from prison—not as the failed, spoiled son he once was, but as a living weapon forged by a secret cultivation technique. He finds his father missing, his family's company on the brink of ruin, and enemies at every turn. His newfound power is immediately tested as he must defend his family name from rapacious business rivals.
At his lowest point, Javon is viciously betrayed by his fiancée, Aleesha Edelweis, who casts him aside for a more powerful man and reneges on a crippling debt that was his last hope. With his honor trampled, help arrives from an unexpected source: Sherly, his ex-fiancée's paralyzed cousin. In a startling sacrifice, Sherly offers to marry Javon herself, upholding a promise her own family has long forgotten.
Now, bound by an unexpected marriage, Javon wages a war on two fronts. He must protect his fragile yet resolute new ally while unravelling the vast corporate conspiracy behind his father's disappearance—a mystery with roots stretching back to a vow he made in his dark prison cell, suggesting his downfall was no accident.

Chapter: Chapter 351. Toward the Hernandez TerritoryThe wind blew gently, lifting the dust that covered the body. Silence lingered for several seconds. Yet no emotion appeared on Javon’s face. He only glanced briefly, then crouched and removed the storage ring from Tristan’s hand.Although his expression remained calm, his mind moved quickly. Nearly all members of the Hernandez family who had entered the ruins were dead. That meant the only clue about his father had vanished as well. The realization left him slightly uneasy.However, he quickly dismissed the thought. If he could not obtain information here, then he would have to confront the family directly.He stood and said casually, “Search the others and make sure nothing remains.”Not long afterward, the group left the ruins. Once outside, Javon took several spirit stones from Valtheris’s storage ring. After estimating their value, he tossed them toward Raviel and the others.“Divide them among yourselves. Consider it a reward.”Everyone was stunned. The value was not small. Their

Chapter: Chapter 350. One Slash to End ItWHOOSH!Instead of attacking, Valtheris suddenly stretched his hand toward the crowd. Several elders from the four major families were dragged toward him like dry leaves caught in a storm. They didn’t even have time to understand what was happening.“Huh—?!”Hisss—!Their true energy was brutally extracted. Streams of light flowed from their bodies into Valtheris’s palm. Within seconds, their bodies shriveled, eyes wide, before collapsing lifelessly.Slap! Slap! Slap!Seven or eight low-level Celestial cultivators died almost simultaneously.The clan leaders’ faces changed drastically. Grief mixed with anger.“Stop him! Are you just going to stand there?!” Caelum shouted in panic.But Javon remained still. He watched calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him. His gaze was cold, without a trace of guilt.Moments later, Valtheris finished devouring the low-level cultivators. He licked his lips; his aura surged again, breathing steadier.“Why didn’t you stop me?” he sneered.Javon rais

Chapter: Chapter 349. The Devourer AwakensCrack!His arm was torn off, and the following kick slammed him into the crater below.The entire crowd froze.The young man floated in the air. “I am the Devourer.”Magnus’s expression changed drastically. That name was infamous, a demonic cultivator rumored to have died three hundred years ago.The youth laughed softly. He explained how he had faked his death and built these ruins as a trap to absorb cultivators’ energy.Fear spread among everyone.With a casual gesture, he dragged two elders forward and drained their energy within seconds.“Run!” someone shouted.The crowd scattered.The youth smiled coldly. “No one can leave.”Suddenly he turned toward the bushes. “There are still three rats.”A terrifying pressure pulled Raviel and Morric toward him.“It’s over…” they muttered in despair.But a cold voice echoed.“You dare touch my people?”A surge of energy shattered the pressure. Javon appeared.“That kid…” the clan leaders murmured.Javon exhaled slowly. “It’s time to end this

Chapter: Chapter 348. The Blood MonsterThe creature had three crimson eyes, no nose, and sharp fangs.“I… am hungry…”A roar exploded.WHOOSH!The creature charged forward.“Run!”Javon and his two companions, hidden in the bushes, watched with tense expressions. As the blood-red creature rampaged, chaos erupted instantly.More than twenty people from the four major families scattered. Half of them were low-level Celestial cultivators, but even that number was not enough.“RAAAARGH!”The last person running was pierced by a claw.PFFTT—!True energy flowed out from his seven orifices, then was completely absorbed by the monster. The body collapsed, eyes still open.Javon narrowed his eyes. “This monster absorbs true energy.”Suddenly a voice rang out.“That bastard!”Tristan spotted them. He was about to attack, but Caelum stopped him.“Prioritize escaping!”The group retreated.Raviel whispered, “We should leave too. That monster is at least eighth-level Celestial.”Javon shook his head. “Wait. Let’s watch first.”The mon

Chapter: Chapter 347. Blood-Soaked CoreThis time, no trap appeared. The stone door opened smoothly.As they entered the palace, Javon froze in surprise. The lake water didn’t seep inside at all. The hall shimmered with piles of Aetherstones, weapons, and technique scrolls scattered like cheap goods.“Strange… someone should have arrived earlier. Why wasn’t everything taken?”Even as he spoke, his hands moved swiftly, sweeping up the treasures.Raviel thought for a moment. “Maybe they couldn’t defeat that puppet. Also, the inner world probably has more than one entrance.”Javon nodded, continuing to collect. After a quick inventory, over four hundred thousand Aetherstones, several Great Grand Master artifacts, and dozens of techniques. The best was a low-tier Overhaul technique called Crackflow Slash.Soon, Raviel called out, “The formation to the inner world is here!”Everyone stepped into the teleportation array. The scenery changed instantly.Spiritual energy in the new area was so dense it felt almost liquid. Misty moun

Chapter: Chapter 346. Beneath the LakeMorric stood up and moved his leg. “Ha! I can jump again!” He laughed in relief. “Thank you! I owe you two lives!” he said, offering another ring.Javon shook his head. “No charge. If not for me, you wouldn’t have been attacked.”Morric cupped his fists respectfully. “My life is yours.”After a brief rest, the group continued forward.“Raviel, are we still on the outskirts?” Javon asked.“Correct. The ruins are divided into three zones. The deeper we go, the better the treasures. Rumor says there’s even an Aether Ring in the core.”He explained that the ruins were a small world created by an Overhaul expert.Soon, they found a vast herb field. Tier-three and tier-four plants filled the area.But another group was already harvesting.“These belong to us!” someone shouted.Raviel whispered, “Better withdraw.”Javon smiled faintly. “We’re just watching.”The group resumed harvesting quickly.“How much are they worth?” Javon asked.“Over one hundred thousand Aetherstones,” Raviel replied.
