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

Chapter 54 Destroying the Vast Ocean Universe Cover

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao frowned slightly, lost in thought. He never expected that such a shocking thing had happened in the Heavenly Dou Empire!

No matter how you look at it, this matter is disgraceful; it's like riding on the back of the Heavenly Dou Empire and slapping it across the face.

The most important national treasury of the Heaven Dou Empire, one of the two great empires on the Douluo Continent, was actually stolen?

Moreover, it wasn't even a Title Douluo who did it; it was just a Soul Douluo who plundered the entire treasury of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although the items in the Heavenly Dou Treasury are inanimate objects, they are not unimportant to the Heavenly Dou Empire; on the contrary, they are extremely important!

The Heavenly Dou Empire has a vast system, and no matter what you do, you need a lot of gold soul coins.

The Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury is where the most Gold Soul Coins are stored. If they were to suddenly disappear entirely, it would be a disaster!

Gazing at the dazzling array of gold soul coins before him, Lin Xiao asked curiously, "I wonder, what was the final outcome for this capable person?"

Stealing the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury will likely result in a terrible outcome.

"The final ending?"

"This Soul Douluo's martial soul is just an ordinary burlap sack, yet he managed to cultivate it to the level of Soul Douluo!"

"This sack-shaped martial spirit, while lacking powerful attack and defense capabilities, is absolutely unparalleled in its ability to carry heavy loads throughout history!"

"Although the individual's strength was only that of a Soul Douluo, the Heaven Dou Empire only took a week to locate the thief who stole from the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury."

"Launch a manhunt for him, recover almost all the lost money, and make sure that guy suffers a horrible death—he should be punished with a thousand cuts!"

"Find everyone connected to this Contra player, dig three feet into the ground, and chop off their heads!"

"This is arguably the biggest case in the Heavenly Dou Empire in the last hundred years!"

Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

"This national treasury contains not only gold soul coins, but also soul-guided armor, soul-guided weapons, and other precious treasures!"

Xue Qinghe walked up to a set of armor and gently tapped its surface, producing a dull sound.

"This was obtained by the Heaven Dou Empire from ancient ruins. It can withstand attacks from Title Douluos, but the price is the consumption of soul power!"

"It requires a huge amount of soul power to withstand the attack of a Title Douluo, which is somewhat useless for ordinary soul masters."

"As for the Title Douluos, they have no need for this armor; it's been gathering dust in the national treasury for who knows how many years!"

Lin Xiao looked at the black armor next to Xue Qinghe. The patterns and forging methods were completely unlike anything that could be found in this era!

"This thing is unlike anything we could have in our time; at least, it's impossible to make with the forging techniques of our era!"

Lin Xiao examined the armor and said.

"Of course, the national treasury contains many similar items, things that are completely beyond the reach of our time!"

"What we found in the ancient ruins, does it mean that in ancient times, the people of that era were far more advanced than modern people in terms of forging techniques?" Xue Qinghe stroked his chin.

Whether it's unearthed soul-guided armor, soul-guided weapons, or storage soul-guided devices.

These are not things that their era could have.

Their craftsmen can replicate the storage soul tools, but they are far from achieving the effect of those storage soul tools unearthed from ancient ruins.

Xue Qinghe patted his black armor: "I'm really curious, what kind of era was the ancient times?"

With that, Xue Qinghe turned to Lin Xiao and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to find the Vast Ocean Universe Cover!"

Xue Qinghe led Lin Xiao to the place where the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was stored.

All around were silver iron boxes, but the most eye-catching was the golden iron box.

"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is just placed here? That's a bit too casual." Lin Xiao was both amused and exasperated.

"The Heavenly Dou royal family is unaware of the importance of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, so naturally they won't value it, even though it's a national treasure!"

"But it's just stored in a golden iron box, no different from other treasures."

Xue Qinghe took out the golden iron box and opened it.

What came into view was a square object emitting a peculiar light.

"Brother Lin Xiao, are you sure this thing is the Sea God's heirloom? It has no use other than emitting light," Xue Qinghe asked.

"Of course, this thing requires a special method to activate; otherwise, it cannot be used."

Lin Xiao took out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and examined it carefully in his hand.

After observing for a moment, Lin Xiao pondered to himself, "How exactly do you use this thing?"

To be honest, he didn't quite understand it either, and he had no idea how to use it. He knew that it required a special method to use.

But what exactly is the method?

he does not know.

Lin Xiao wielded the power of Diablo, the god of destruction.

He used one of those strands when the power of Diablo left his body.

The once bright surroundings suddenly became dark.

It turned black and white.

A terrifying aura permeated the treasure vault.

Feeling that terrifying aura, Xue Qinghe froze on the spot, even her martial spirit trembled, terrified of that wisp of black and red energy!

"What on earth is this thing?" Xue Qinghe stared wide-eyed at the wisp of black and red energy in Lin Xiao's hand.

When the Vast Ocean Universe Cover encountered the power of the Dark Destroyer, its originally bright azure light instantly dimmed.

"Is this the suppressive power of a god?" Lin Xiao looked at the dim and lifeless Vast Ocean Universe Cover and said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly poured the power of Diablo into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Instantly, a sound came from inside the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, when that wisp of divine power was completely exhausted.

The surrounding area returned to normal.

The Vast Ocean Universe Cover in Lin Xiao's hand has forever lost its bright luster.

It changed from its original dark blue color to gray.

"Success?" Xue Qinghe was sweating profusely and panting heavily.

"Success! Now the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is just an ordinary item; it no longer possesses any divine properties!"

[Congratulations, host, on completing the Guardian Mission and destroying the Vast Ocean Universe Shield. Mission settlement is now complete!]

The sound of mission completion continued to echo in Lin Xiao's mind.

Lin Xiao looked at Xue Qinghe, who was sweating profusely, and laughed, "Let's go."

"What kind of power was that just now?" Xue Qinghe asked, her heart pounding.

That power was truly terrifying, exactly the same as the feeling I had in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"That power? It's a secret!" Lin Xiao smiled slightly.
