After assigning their respective tasks.

Li Chang'an and Xue Ke headed towards the imperial palace. They didn't encounter any palace maids or guards along the way, which was undoubtedly abnormal for the residence of a monarch.

After passing through several corridors, the two finally arrived outside Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom. Before even pushing the door open, Xue Ke could already sense the life force within the room, flickering like a candle in the wind.

It seemed like he could die at any moment.

Li Chang'an kicked open the tightly locked palace door and hurriedly entered the bedroom with Xue Ke. They quickly saw Emperor Xue Ye lying on the dragon bed, withered and on his last breath.

He was completely different from how he looked eight years ago. His hair had become dry and white, the skin on his face was so wrinkled it could trap flies, and he was practically skin and bones.

In his current state, people would believe he was over 100 years old.

"Father Emperor!"

Seeing Emperor Xue Ye like this, Xue Ke burst into tears. She rushed to his bedside and carefully checked his condition. As Dugu Bo had said, his lifespan was indeed almost exhausted and he could die at any moment!

"Ke'er, don't be sad yet. The important thing is to act!" Li Chang'an couldn't help but say, seeing her still crying. "With your martial soul ability, as long as there's a breath left, you can revive him! Don't waste time."

"Right, right."

Reminded by him, Xue Ke immediately recalled the effect of her soul skill and quickly wiped away her tears.

She hurriedly stood up and gently closed her eyes. The life-attribute soul core in her dantian began to spin rapidly! Her hair quickly changed from black to a vibrant, life-filled emerald green, and then her martial soul was activated! A pair of jade wings fluttered open on her back.

The rich emerald green light of life shone around, even reviving the wooden bed and furniture, causing them to sprout fresh green buds. Even Emperor Xue Ye, who was originally withered, looked much better under the light of life.

However, this was far from enough.

Xue Ke slowly opened her eyes, her pupils now a vibrant light green, crystal clear, as if condensing the purest life force of nature. At the same time, nine soul rings appeared around her body... and the ninth soul ring shone brightly!

"Ninth Soul Skill: Life Restoration!"

With the activation of the ninth soul skill, Xue Ke clasped her hands together in a praying gesture. Then, a circle of emerald green halo appeared around her. It floated gently and finally landed directly above Emperor Xue Ye, beginning to rotate slowly...

With the first rotation, Emperor Xue Ye's deathly pale face instantly turned rosy.

With the second rotation, Emperor Xue Ye's shriveled skin began to become full, and his emaciated body gradually grew flesh and blood, filling out his skin... wrinkles gradually disappeared.

With the third rotation, Emperor Xue Ye's white hair was dyed with a touch of black, the wrinkles on his skin disappeared, and the texture of his skin became delicate...

With the fourth rotation, Emperor Xue Ye had transformed from an old man in his sixties or seventies into a strong man in his thirties, returning to his peak state!

At this point, the emerald green halo stopped rotating and slowly disappeared.

Xue Ke also let out a long breath, relieved.

Her ninth soul skill was called Life Restoration!

As a 300,000-year-old divine bestowed soul ring skill, it was naturally not simple.

After this skill is used, it can rejuvenate people and restore them to their peak physical condition! The disadvantage is that each person can only benefit from it once in their lifetime.

In other words, if a Limit Douluo with a thousand years of life reaches the limit of their lifespan, and then uses Life Restoration once, then theoretically they can live a second life! Another thousand years of life.

The effect of this soul skill is unbelievably heaven-defying.

Xue Ke could have made the life halo rotate a few more times if she wanted to. However, in that case, Emperor Xue Ye would inevitably become too young, which would not be good. It was just about right now.

Otherwise, if he was too young, it would make people suspect the authenticity of this Emperor Xue Ye.

Not long after Xue Ke withdrew her soul skill, Emperor Xue Ye's eyelids twitched and he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Xue Ke's extremely terrifying soul ring configuration, and he almost thought he was still dreaming.

After all, he knew his daughter very well.

It would be difficult enough for her to reach the Soul Emperor level in this lifetime, let alone a Titled Douluo.

So, Xue Ke's level and soul ring configuration could only be seen in his dreams, in his opinion.

"Father Emperor."

Seeing Emperor Xue Ye wake up, Xue Ke quickly put away her soul rings and then stepped forward to help him sit up.

Although his physical condition had been restored to its peak state by Life Restoration, he had been in a coma for many days after all, and his body had not yet adapted to suddenly waking up. He didn't notice the changes in himself at all.

"Ke'er... is Father dreaming?"

Looking at his daughter so close, and her much more mature face, Emperor Xue Ye finally realized that he was not dreaming. After all, no dream could be so real.

"Father Emperor, it's me. I'm back." Xue Ke was a little overjoyed and tearful. No matter how indifferent the imperial family's affection was, this was still her father after all. And her only blood relative in this world.

"What exactly is going on?"

Emperor Xue Ye was completely confused at the moment, and he didn't understand what had happened at all. From the day the poison suddenly broke out, he had been in a coma. Even if the poison was removed, the damage it caused was still too great, so he didn't know what happened during his coma.

"Your Majesty, this is what happened..."

Li Chang'an stepped forward and explained concisely the various things that had happened during his coma, including the fact that the crown prince was actually a fake and had been replaced long ago. All of this was a conspiracy of the Spirit Hall, and so on.

After listening to Li Chang'an's explanation of the cause and effect, Emperor Xue Ye remained silent for a long time, and he seemed to have aged a lot at this moment. Even if his body had recovered to its youth, his mental state remained unchanged. If it weren't for his improved physical condition, his original body would have been angered to death.

"Spirit Hall!!!"

The expression on Emperor Xue Ye's face became somewhat distorted, and he hated Spirit Hall, the culprit of all this, to the core!

After all, all of his sons had been assassinated by Spirit Hall. Now, his only bloodline left in this world was his daughter, Xue Ke.

How could he not hate them?

"Father needs to calm down alone. You guys go out first." Emperor Xue Ye waved his hand weakly. Although his appearance had become younger, his spirit seemed even older.

"Well, Father, we'll go out first."

"We're outside the door, just call out if you need anything." Li Chang'an and Xue Ke exchanged a glance, also feeling that Emperor Xue Ye needed to calm down and sort out his thoughts. They didn't stay here to disturb him, and both turned and walked out of the palace, gently closing the door.
