My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2129

Gab was defeated almost instantly.

It turned out that the black hole Clint had summoned just now was a special arena he had created. All martial artists would be brought into that arena in the current state they were in.

Gab had been maintaining as much distance as he could between himself and the magical array just now. That was a move that consumed a lot of true energy. Clint had taken advantage of that weakness.

He assumed that Gab was also exerting all his energy into creating magical arrays.

The fact he had managed to expend all his true energy was because time passed differently inside the black hole in comparison to reality.

It seemed that only a short while had passed for everyone, but nearly 30 days had gone by inside the black hole’s territory. That was how Gab’s true energy ran out.

Clint had to admit that this old man was extremely dangerous. If it were not for his temporal enchantment, it would have been difficult to determine a winner. The old man’s storage of true energy was like none other.

Not even a cultivator like Nash would have as much true energy stored up as this old man. Something was off.

As Clint spoke, Zaden went up to Gab. However, in the blink of an eye, Zaden turned into a walking pile of skin and bones.

Then, Gab got to his feet once more.

“I knew it!” Clint immediately understood why the old man had such an astonishing reserve of true energy.

“You've absorbed your entire family’s true energy…”

Gab laughed, “Family? They’re just nutrients on my pathway to cultivation. All of them are. As long as they’re part of my bloodline, I can absorb their energies.”

Then, Gab glanced over playfully at Gale, who had managed to stop his bleeding.

Gale immediately collapsed to the ground. A strong, oppressive feeling of fear washed over him, and he did not dare lift his head.

“Lame,” Clint said as he created another black hole.

Clint had mastered this skill during his time in the Church of the Netherworld, and it was also what helped him escape from their control. However, that piece of lore had to be placed on the back burner for now.

Now, no one dared go near Gab.

Although his true energy was depleted, he was still conscious.

He called out loudly, “You guys, come here! Aren’t you all my descendants?! Gale Florentine, get your ass over here now! Hurry up! Don’t forget what I told you!”

Gale’s hands trembled non-stop as he stood rooted to the spot, unsure what to do next.

“What are you doing?! I’m telling you, if I die, your younger cousins will die a horrible death too!”

“Hurry up! Get the fuck over here!”
