Lou Yaoyao and Lina arrived at the ice cave to find Ye Xuan near death. Outside, Lou Xinyu faced a horde of vampires led by Baier, who were intent on taking a treasure Ye Xuan possessed. Despite Lina's pleas and Lou Xinyu's intervention, the vampires attacked. Inside, Lou Yaoyao discovered Ye Xuan had no pulse and seemed to be dead, prompting Ye Xiaoying to prepare for suicide, only for Lou Yaoyao to declare Ye Xuan is not dead.

Clang!

Just as Lou Yaoyao’s voice echoed, the Dragon Blood Sword in Ye Xiaoying’s hand was suddenly knocked away rudely.

It was Lina.

Unfortunately, Lina’s intervention was still too late; a thin red line had already appeared on Ye Xiaoying’s delicate, jade-like neck.

Fortunately, it was just a superficial wound.

The stinging pain on her neck brought the stunned Ye Xiaoying back to her senses.

Ye Xuan... is he not dead yet?

She was overjoyed, as if her heart, turned to ash, had rekindled a glimmer of hope.

She hurriedly looked down, only to see Ye Xuan lying in her arms, his face still pale, his eyes tightly shut, not showing the slightest sign of life.

Ye Xiaoying touched Ye Xuan’s body, but also felt no warmth.

Ye Xiaoying looked towards Lou Yaoyao with suspicion.

She doubted that Lou Yaoyao was deceiving her.

At the same time, Lou Yaoyao, with her beautiful eyes, was staring intently at Ye Xuan; within her pupils was nothing but astonishment and shock, as if seeing something even more unbelievable and horrifying than the end of the world.

"Unbelievable, this is too unbelievable!"

Lou Yaoyao exclaimed repeatedly: "Just now, Ye Xuan clearly had lost all signs of life, resembling a true corpse, yet now, his previously vanished lifeforce actually shows signs of revival!!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoying and Lina were shocked.

Lou Yaoyao said solemnly, "Listen, listen carefully!"

In an instant, the entire Ice Cave fell silent, and Ye Xiaoying and the others held their breath, focusing entirely on Ye Xuan; the atmosphere was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

Utter silence lasted for a long time.

A long time.

Suddenly!

Thump!

A faint heartbeat seemed to resound faintly.

Just one beat, and then silence again.

Such a weak sound was almost as if non-existent, but to the three experts in the Ice Cave, it was incredibly clear and loud.

It was the sound of a heartbeat, from Ye Xuan’s heartbeat!!

Though it stopped abruptly after a single beat, it at least confirmed that Ye Xuan was not dead!

Fantastic, fantastic!!

They were overjoyed.

But still, none of them spoke.

They listened with anticipation.

About three minutes later.

Thump!

Ye Xuan’s heart emitted another beat.

Keep listening.

About a minute later.

Thump!

Ye Xuan’s heart beat again.

Listen carefully!

About ten seconds later.

Thump!

...

With each heartbeat from Ye Xuan, it would appear and then immediately vanish, but each interval between beats was becoming shorter.

Throughout the process, the three women in the Ice Cave were careful even with their breathing, afraid of missing a single heartbeat.

Under their intense focus, Ye Xuan’s heartbeat finally did not stop.

It continued beating.

Though it was very weak, very slow, it didn’t stop again.

Resurrection from death.

This was a true resurrection from death!!

"Too unbelievable." Even Lou Yaoyao, accustomed to seeing strange events, was full of astonishment witnessing all this: "This is too unbelievable; it’s simply impossible!"

"But Ye Xuan did it, my little beggar, he did it!"

Ye Xiaoying, unwilling to relinquish her hold on Ye Xuan, kept her exquisite face pressed against his blood-stained forehead, crying tears of joy.

This sound of heartbeat was the most beautiful sound she’d ever heard in her life!

Suddenly.

Ye Xiaoying and Lou Yaoyao both turned pale.

"He’s gathering nature’s spiritual energy!" Lou Yaoyao exclaimed urgently: "His body is greedily absorbing nature’s spiritual energy!"

Beside them, Lina was confused; her strength was insufficient to sense the presence of spiritual energy.

But as Qi Gong Masters, Ye Xiaoying and Lou Yaoyao could clearly see and feel the thin spiritual energy around them being drawn by some force, rushing into Ye Xuan’s body.

Ye Xuan’s body was like a greedy jar for spiritual energy, accepting all that came without refusal.

In fact, it was far from enough!

And under the nourishment of this spiritual energy, everyone in the Ice Cave quickly felt that, having regained life, even Ye Xuan’s languid aura began to rapidly recover.

His wounds, miraculously, started to stop bleeding and scab over.

His weak heartbeat and breathing gradually became steady and strong.

In shock, Ye Xiaoying quickly released Ye Xuan from her embrace, retreating to ensure her presence wouldn’t affect his recovery.

But the spiritual energy in nature was too scarce.

In no time at all, there was no more spiritual energy for Ye Xuan to absorb!

"This..."

Ye Xiaoying’s face showed a slight change: "Ye Xuan just started recovering, and there’s not enough spiritual energy!"

"No."

Lou Yaoyao furrowed her brows, shaking her head: "More pure and intense spiritual energy is on its way."

Ye Xiaoying was taken aback.

At that moment.

Outside the Ice Cave, a strong wind suddenly rose!

Ye Xiaoying’s expression changed as she looked up, seeing a stream of spiritual energy converging from all directions outside into the Ice Cave, swirling for a moment at its entrance before rushing in.

Incessantly, flooding into Ye Xuan’s body!

Ye Xuan’s aura surged higher and higher.

His entire body healed and recovered at a visible pace, and his pale complexion gradually gained a hint of redness.

At this moment, Ye Xuan showed no sign of weakness!!

Everything was like a fantasy, bizarre and esoteric, yet everyone knew it was truly happening before their eyes!

Ye Xiaoying and Lina were utterly astonished.

Only Lou Yaoyao had a relieved smile on her face: "My little brother has a Gathering Spirit Stone, so even if he travels to the ends of the earth, he won’t lack spiritual energy. The truly astonishing thing is indeed my little brother’s miraculous resurrection..."

Even Lou Yaoyao couldn’t comprehend how Ye Xuan, who had evidently died, could suddenly shine again, not only miraculously reviving but also doing so in such a powerful manner, his strength reaching a new level.

Indeed.

Lou Yaoyao could be absolutely sure that Ye Xuan had become several times stronger than before entering the Ancient Tomb Ruins!

Outside the Ice Cave.

Lou Xinyu, who had just slaughtered numerous vampires, also sensed the peculiar occurrences in the Ice Cave and immediately frowned.

"Resurrection from death?"

"Gathering Spirit Stone?"

"Surviving great calamities and having strength progress again?"

Lou Xinyu’s mouth twitched several times; regardless of the situation, he had always maintained composure, yet now his face showed signs of shock.

Such a miracle is unheard of!!

A long time.

Lou Xinyu furrowed his brow, narrowing his long eyes: "Ye Xuan, you truly are an Undying War God, what secret does your body hide?"
