My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 868

Johnathan raised his withered hand and made a grabbing motion. Four pitch-black vortexes appeared around Nash, surrounding him from all sides.

At the same time, in a luxurious villa located in the heart of Phoenix Island, Francis was sitting cross-legged on a mystical ice bed, breaking through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm. The bed was inscribed with a mysterious array and various peculiar stones were arranged within it. The formation activated, drawing in vast spiritual energy and turning the entire room into a sea of clouds.

In Francis's energy center, a gold core had already taken shape. The man was extremely excited; he had been waiting for this day for 30 years.

Suddenly, a black vortex appeared in the sea of clouds. In an instant, all the spiritual energy in the room was sucked away, leaving nothing behind.

"Damn it!!" his deafening voice echoed through the sky and the luxurious villa instantly crumbled into pieces.

The others on the island were immediately excited as well when they saw this scene. They all got down on one knee and exclaimed in unison, "Congratulations to the Island Lord for breaking through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm!"

However, Francis's face turned as cold as ice at their wishes. "Save your congratulations! Someone stole my spiritual energy!"

The moment he said that everyone looked at each other in shock. They were all part of the same island and the nearest shore was about 500 miles away. What kind of existence could steal the Island Lord's spiritual energy from such a distance?

Francis looked up at the sky, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Could it be him?"

In Capiton, within a hidden castle deep in the mountains belonging to the Klein family, were a large number of spiritual treasures that they had accumulated using a great sum of money. All the Profound Reality Realm experts of the Klein family as well as those above were continuously assisting the Great Ancestor in breaking through the seal. Behind them, there was a dedicated team of warriors, ready to supply a large number of spiritual treasures at any time.

Suddenly, above the castle, a black vortex appeared and all the spiritual treasures in the vicinity were sucked away by it in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the black vortex disappeared as if it had never existed.

The experts were dumbfounded. It was some time later that they finally reacted to what happened and all of them pointed at the sky angrily, cursing.

The flames in the skeleton's eyes burned brighter as it roared, "You scoundrel, I got these by exchanging them with dragon’s blood!”

Johnathan sighed. "Life and death are determined by fate. It’s challenging trying to defy the will of the heavens. Give up the idea of resurrection."

While he spoke, two fist-sized spiritual stones returned to the coffin. The coffin lid closed once again. The flames in the skeleton's eyes flickered as it seemingly contemplated Johnathan's final words.

After a moment, the skeleton asked in a deep voice, "Are you now dead or alive?"

Johnathan remained silent for a while as the black vortex continued to hang in the air.
