Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 48 A New Mission: Destroy the Vast Ocean Universe Shield

Dugu Bo leaped away from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and headed to Sunset Forest to find a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that was compatible with Qian Renxue as her soul ring. Immediately after Dugu Bo left, Lin Xiao received a notification sound indicating that the mission was completed.

[Congratulations, host! You have completed the guardian mission, helping Qian Renxue improve her strength. Mission complete, now entering the settlement phase!]

The system notification sound kept echoing in Lin Xiao's mind. A slight smile appeared on Lin Xiao's lips. Currently, he only had three missions to accept: helping Qian Renxue improve her soul power level, recruiting Dugu Bo, and a long-term mission.

He has already completed the first two tasks, leaving only the final long-term task. However, completing this long-term task will not be easy. But he is not in a hurry; he has plenty of time. This task requires long-term planning to complete!

"It's a long-term mission. I need to go to Shrek Academy, but system, what if I can't complete this mission?" Lin Xiao asked, but he didn't speak. Instead, he communicated with the system through his thoughts.

[This is a long-term task, not mandatory. If the host believes they are unable to complete the remaining tasks, they can proceed to the settlement early, but they will not receive the subsequent rewards.] The system replied to Lin Xiao.

"I see. I've completed one-third of the work in turning three people away from Shrek Academy, but there are still two-thirds left. Without special experiences, it will be extremely difficult to complete this task!" Lin Xiao thought to himself.

Thinking it over, Lin Xiao looked at Qian Renxue and said, "Xiaoxue, after you finish absorbing the soul ring and return to Heaven Dou City, I plan to leave for a while. There's something I need to do."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Brother Lin Xiao, how long will it take for you to return?"

Hearing that Lin Xiao was leaving, Qian Renxue was actually a little anxious. She had only met Lin Xiao a few days ago, so why was he leaving because of something?

Lin Xiao gently rubbed Qian Renxue's head and said with a wry smile, "I won't be gone for long, at most half a year. This matter is very important. I will come back as soon as I finish it. If I can't finish it, I will still come back."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Then Brother Lin Xiao, please go with peace of mind. If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact me. The power of the Heaven Dou Empire is invaluable."

"Of course," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

[Guardian Mission: Destroy the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is a crucial artifact for inheriting the Sea God's position. Without it, Tang San will inevitably inherit the Sea God's position, but the time required will be greatly increased! This will also weaken Tang San's luck, giving the host's guardian more time to develop!]

[Mission Reward: Two strands of Diablo's divine power. Diablo, as a god-king far surpassing even the God-Kings, can destroy the Vast Ocean Universe Shield with just one strand of his power!]

"Diablo's divine power," Lin Xiao murmured softly.

"Accept the mission."

[Congratulations, host, on accepting the mission. The mission reward has been issued.]

As soon as the system notification appeared, Lin Xiao instantly sensed two special energies appearing between his eyebrows. Although these two energies did not have any effect on him, if he sensed them carefully...

Even with his level 96 Super Douluo power, he felt a deep sense of unease, as if he were peering into an abyss!

Lin Xiao gasped for breath, thinking to himself, "The power of a god is truly unimaginable. Two strands of divine power, almost negligible, are already so terrifying!"

"Brother Lin Xiao, what happened to you just now? That moment was terrifying." Qian Renxue trembled, and even the scorching light of the six-winged angel behind her almost dimmed.

"It's nothing, just some side effects from taking the immortal herb," ​​Lin Xiao explained.

Two strands of Dark Destruction God's power are needed to destroy the Vast Ocean Universe Shield. One strand is required, while the other strand may become his strongest attack in the future. He doesn't believe that anyone can survive a god's attack!

If there really is such a thing, then it's probably only Tang San, who's overpowered!

Not only does he possess great fortune, but he also has the Asura God secretly protecting him, making it unimaginably difficult to kill him!

"Xiaoxue, do you know about the Vast Ocean Universe Cover?" Lin Xiao asked.

"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover? Of course I know it. It's a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire. You could say that nothing in the Heaven Dou Empire can compare to the value of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. By the way, Brother Lin Xiao, why are you asking about this?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I want to obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Xiaoxue, didn't Xueye promise me a request? How about I use this request to exchange for the Vast Ocean Universe Cover?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment. Although the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, it was just a national treasure and had no use. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been gathering dust in the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury.

"I think it's possible. The Vast Ocean Universe Cover, although it's a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, is just a national treasure and has no real use. If Brother Lin Xiao asks for the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, there's a high probability that Xue Ye will agree."

"But Brother Lin Xiao, why did you suddenly ask about the Vast Ocean Universe Cover? What's the use of that thing?" Qian Renxue asked.

Lin Xiao didn't hide anything and explained, "The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is actually a very important item in the inheritance of a god. However, this god's inheritance will inevitably belong to someone else in the future. So since we can't obtain it, wouldn't it be better to destroy it and increase the difficulty of that god's inheritance?"

Qian Renxue frowned slightly: "The inheritance of the gods... It's unbelievable that this thing can be connected to the inheritance of the gods. Since it's an important object for inheriting a god's position, why has this matter never been heard of in the Heavenly Dou Empire for so many years?"

"Perhaps it's because the Vast Ocean Universe Cover has existed for so long that it's been used for rescue purposes, to the point that the Heavenly Dou Royal Family has forgotten its true purpose," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family be completely unaware of the function of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which has been around for countless years?

Is the Vast Ocean Universe Cover merely regarded as a symbolic national treasure?

"Is there no way for us to obtain this divine position?" Qian Renxue asked.

"It's impossible. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to destroy the Vast Ocean Universe Cover," Lin Xiao explained helplessly.

"Besides, becoming a god isn't that easy," Lin Xiao added.
