Chapter 512: Chapter 416: Terror Storm, Dire Straits, Return of the Singular Stone (Triple Combo)

But at this moment, a gentle light suddenly blossomed, spreading like flowing water and forming a thin, translucent film on Qin Tian’s damaged skin.

The film seemed fragile, yet carried a peculiar power—when the raging space storm struck once more, the film’s surface rippled like water waves buffering the impact, and the storm that could instantly tear flesh now could only cut through the film, greatly reducing the harm to Qin Tian’s body!

This subtle buffer became a lifeline in desperation; the Immortal Sacred Body, previously overwhelmed by severe damage, finally started to work—the pale golden light emanated from Qin Tian’s body, with the damaged flesh regenerating visibly, skeletal cracks slowly healing, and eroded internal organs beginning to reconstruct.

The more crucial being, his internal Earth Heart Talent also took effect—every 10 seconds recovering 5% of the lost Life Value.

The seemingly minimal recovery, protected by the lone stone film, formed a perfect synergy with the regenerative power of the Sacred Body and the Qingmu Power from Dongfang Mingyue, gradually stabilizing his declining vital signs.

Qin Tian’s body still suffered in the storm, yet with the film buffering damage, the Sacred Body swiftly repairing, Earth Heart consistently healing, and Qingmu Power’s treatment, together establishing a fragile yet stable balance.

Meanwhile, the Unending Cataclysm effect continued; amidst injury and recovery, both defense power and attack power subtly increased, but this time, not through near-death induced growth, rather steadily strengthening through vitality.

However, the sustained high-intensity consumption and previous near-death state had long exhausted Qin Tian’s spirit.

Despite his body gradually stabilizing under the influence of the lone stone and talent, his consciousness couldn’t keep up, overwhelmed like being submerged by tides, thoroughly engulfing him in darkness.

Yet in the last moment before losing consciousness, instinctively he tightened his grip, holding Dongfang Mingyue closer—even in slumber, the battered yet regenerating bear form remained an indestructible barrier, firmly protecting the person in his arms.

Dongfang Mingyue felt the mountain-like bear body no longer trembling intensely, and the hot blood originally dripping constantly started to slow down, even faintly sensing the life force radiating from Qin Tian—she suddenly opened her eyes, greeted by the gentle white light covering Qin Tian’s body and the slowly regenerating flesh beneath it.

“Qin Tian! You held on!”

Flooded with ecstatic joy, she hesitated not a bit, promptly channeling her internal Origin Power into Qin Tian, even though it might lead to prolonged Spiritual Energy exhaustion afterward, she remained indifferent.

A faint green brilliance burst from her palm, merging into Qin Tian’s body like a trickling stream. She distinctly felt that Qin Tian’s life essence, under the nourishing of Spiritual Energy, grew increasingly stable, and the healing of surface wounds hastened notably.

Yet as Spiritual Energy constantly flowed out, her vision began darkening, limbs grew heavier, and even breathing became strenuous.

Subspace storm’s erosion on the soul intensified—earlier protected by Qin Tian’s Spirit Shield and bear form obscuring, she managed to resist barely, yet now as Spiritual Energy depleted, the cold chaotic energy, like invisible tentacles, stealthily infiltrated her mind, causing splitting headaches, consciousness flickering like a candle’s flame in the wind.

“Qin Tian… must… survive…” she softly murmured, the voice so feeble only audible to herself.

With the final strand of Spiritual Energy injected into Qin Tian, her body limply leaned against Qin Tian’s bear form, her vision entirely submerged in darkness, consciousness gradually drowned like sinking into the deep sea.

In the last moment before unconsciousness, she instinctively tightened her arms, pressing her face closer against Qin Tian’s warm fur—though still blood-stained, the warmth offered solace, seemingly capable of fending off all the subspace’s coldness and peril.

Qin Tian’s Shadow Bear form still held her tightly, even lost in consciousness, the arm’s strength never waned a bit. The lone stone’s white light continued flickering, forming a thin shield around them; the regenerative power of the Immortal Sacred Body kept operating, slowly healing flesh and bones; Earth Heart’s healing effect triggered timely every ten seconds, gradually counteracting the damage induced depletion.

One person and one bear, thus embraced, sunk into unconsciousness amidst the wild subspace storm, like a resilient leaf, drifting slowly with the energy currents.

Nobody knew where they would drift toward, nor if this lifeline in despair could lead them to the ultimate safety place, yet for now, the warmth of their mutual protection became the sole brightness within this chaotic darkness.
