In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 273 The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is Stolen

"Now that you've achieved your goals for this stage, it's time for me to leave!"

"Speak properly!" Qian Renxue, dressed as Xue Qinghe, was dressed in a formal suit and looked very dignified. She looked at Lin Hai and said irritably.

The handsome man was speechless. Couldn't he just let him be deep in thought for a little longer?

"I've been here for almost six years. If I don't get out and move around, I'll rust!" Lin Hai stretched.

"Moreover," Lin Hai paused for a moment.

Then Lin Hai raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and said, "I am no longer afraid of Tang Hao, who has always wanted to kill me."

"After hiding and concealing ourselves for so many years, it's time to change our identity!"

Qian Renxue did not refute anything Lin Hai said, because Lin Hai now indeed had the strength to back it up.

Before obtaining his seventh spirit ring, Lin Hai was still able to fight against a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape. After obtaining the seventh ring, it's really hard to assess Lin Hai's true combat strength, as he can now unleash his Martial Soul True Body.

Qian Renxue still remembers that after Lin Hai obtained his seventh spirit ring, Lin Hai, Qian Renxue, and the elders of the Spirit Hall all returned to the Hall of Worship.

The Demon-Slaying Douluo's blood was still pounding from the recent battle, and Lin Hai's performance was also quite outstanding. Feeling itchy, he proposed to try his luck with Lin Hai.

Lin Hai agreed, and Qian Daoliu agreed!

When they actually clashed, the Lightning Blue Silver Overlord Spear and the Coiling Dragon Staff intersected at various points in the air, and the flight paths of Lin Hai and the Demon-Slaying Douluo drew a picture of red and blue intermingling in the air.

The clash of their soul skills was equally impressive, with each side having its own strengths. Lin Hai and the Demon-Slaying Douluo fought for over a hundred rounds before Qian Daoliu called a halt to the battle.

But even so, it's enough to prove just how low Lin Hai's current strength is.

"What? You can't bear to part with me?" Lin Hai looked at Qian Renxue with a slight smile as he saw the fleeting look of conflict on her face.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's ears, which were hidden by her hair, turned red. Even though Lin Hai had teased her like this many times before, Qian Renxue still couldn't take it. They were talking normally, and suddenly he did this.

"Heh, do you even have the right to say that!" Qian Renxue forced herself to remain calm and said coldly.

"Well, my value isn't bad either!"

"Is the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights ready now? I trained them."

"The affairs of the Empire are going quite well, aren't they? Why don't I get a piece of the action?"

"..."

Lin Hai listed out his work over the past few years one by one.

"Alright, you should leave now!" Qian Renxue's forehead veins throbbed slightly. She was afraid that if this guy stayed any longer, the Heavenly Dou Empire wouldn't really belong to her anymore.

Look at that Heaven Dou Royal Knights. Although they remain loyal to the Heaven Dou royal family, as long as Lin Hai is still her subject, sometimes Lin Hai's orders are even more effective than those of the emperor for these members of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights.

……

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. I should go find my own path now!"

"By the way, before I leave, could you take me to see the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury?"

Lin Hai didn't say it explicitly, and Qian Renxue didn't refuse. Because in Qian Renxue's view, it was Lin Hai's right to go to the Heaven Dou Empire to select some things.

Qian Renxue now holds the reins of power in the empire. Accessing the Heavenly Dou Treasury is now an easy task for her.

"Since you're preparing to leave, there happens to be a good item in the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury that can help you." Qian Renxue led Lin Hai toward the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury.

They arrived shortly afterward.

"Open the door!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the guards watching over the treasury replied.

A moment later, with a clatter, the outer door of the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury was opened.

Next, it was Qian Renxue's turn. The Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury is divided into an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer is opened by guards, while only members of the royal family are qualified to open the inner layer with a key.

As Qian Renxue opened the last door, she began to introduce to Lin Hai what she wanted to give him.

"Speaking of this thing, even I can still feel its magic. I once came in with Emperor Xueye."

"It was an extremely strange object, its entire body a crystal-clear blue, three-dimensional triangular in shape. It seemed to be carved from a sapphire, only the size of a palm. The crystal-clear, water-like patterns, these patterns did not seem to be carved, but rather seemed to be alive, with rings of blue light shimmering, reflecting a faint precious light throughout the palace."

Lin Hai had already guessed what Qian Renxue was referring to, but he still pretended not to know and asked, "What exactly are you talking about?"

"Emperor Xueye once told me that this item is the most precious national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"This item is called the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. In a sense, it can be considered a soul tool. Since you happen to enjoy researching soul tools, this item is perfect for you."

"This item has many uses. You'll understand once you infuse it with your soul power. This item is far superior to any soul tool you've developed so far."

Qian Renxue said this with an air of seriousness, but she was right about one thing: she really thought this so-called national treasure was something special.

Qian Renxue's background determined the breadth and depth of her perspective. If she finds something good, then it truly is quite good.

After a short while, Qian Renxue and Lin Hai looked at the empty box under the red cloth and exchanged bewildered glances.

"Where is the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the supreme treasure of my Heavenly Dou Empire!" Qian Renxue frowned.

Lin Hai also frowned slightly. Without the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, he had lost one of his paths.

"Has anyone been here? Or did Emperor Xueye have some backup plan and hide this thing?"

"I see!"

"Since the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is gone, then choose one or two treasures from this treasure vault yourself!"

"Okay!" Lin Hai then picked out some items he needed from the Heavenly Treasure Vault.

The next day.

"We found out. Xue Xing doesn't know how he got Emperor Xue Ye to talk to him, but he went to the treasury once."

"He might have taken the Vast Ocean Universe Cover as well."

"Emperor Xueye's situation at the time was advantageous to us, and it also allowed Prince Xuexing to seize the opportunity."

"In retrospect, we underestimated Prince Xuexing, and we took him for granted. We never expected him to do something like this behind the scenes."

Where has Prince Snowstar gone?

"north!"

"It seems unlikely we'll be able to find him anytime soon!"

"Since he dared to secretly take away the national treasure, he must be hiding it so you won't find out."

"I underestimated that old rascal, Xue Xing!"

"Let's go! I'll go north to look for him; hopefully, I'll find some trace of him!"

Xue Xing was indeed cunning and shrewd. He knew that once Xue Qinghe came to power, he would not let go of his uncle, who had always opposed him. Therefore, Prince Xue Xing took the Han Hai Qian Kun Zhao in order to confront Xue Qinghe and save his own life.

Lin Hai stayed in Tian Dou City for a while longer, gave his family some instructions, and finally left Tian Dou City under Qian Renxue's watchful gaze.

Qian Renxue stared at it for a long time...

"call!"

"Ninth Elder, follow me!!" The reason Qian Renxue addressed him as "Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo" instead of "Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo" was actually related to Qian Renxue herself, because the Hall of Elders was the most loyal to her. Therefore, Qian Renxue held the Hall of Elders in high regard.

"Yes!" A voice echoed from the void and reached Qian Renxue's ears.

Although Qian Renxue knew that Lin Hai was exceptionally strong and could fight even a Title Douluo for a long time, she still worried about his safety because of her deep-seated emotions that she was unwilling to show.

……

Lin Hai then began his adventurous life. Meanwhile, Tang Hao and Tang San, who were still thinking of Lin Hai, continued their efforts to help Tang San return to the Clear Sky Sect.

Lin Hai went back to the Beast Academy first. He hadn't been back much in the past few years because he was busy with his own things.

Lin Hai met with Meng Shu and Dugu Bo.

They were very happy that Lin Hai had become a Soul Saint, but they refused when they heard that Lin Hai wanted to go out alone.

Chrysanthemum Douluo kept a certain distance from Lin Hai because he didn't want Lin Hai to discover that he was protecting him.

Chrysanthemum Douluo has a soul skill called Aura Barrier, which helped him shield himself from Lin Hai's detection.

Later, Meng Shu and Dugu Bo agreed, and they only found out what happened behind the scenes.

After that, Lin Hai went to the northern part of the Heavenly Dou Empire. To be honest, he was still a little unwilling, as this was the closest opportunity he knew of to him.

However, Xue Xing was too cautious. Xue Qinghe had just taken over, and Xue Xing dared not show her face at all.

The entire Northern Territory is too vast, and there's also the area in the far north where soul beasts gather. Finding Xue Xing in such a vast forest is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Lin Hai could only sigh at the sight of snow.

On the other hand, Bibi Dong did not show any emotion after learning that the plan had failed.

However, Bibi Dong's outward calmness was completely different from her inner thoughts.

"Qian Renxue! She's truly my good daughter!"

"You managed to dodge this time."

"But you think that's all? Ha, let's continue!"

……

After failing to find Xuexing, Lin Hai decided to go directly to his final destination.

However, Lin Hai's good luck eventually came to an end.

On this day, in a valley some distance away from the Holy Soul Village in the province of Fasino.

After sending Tang San to the outer perimeter of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao returned here. He knew very well that many people within the Clear Sky Sect did not welcome him.

After leaving the territory of the Haotian Sect, Tang Hao did not choose to wait for Lin Hai again. To put it bluntly, he had been waiting for Lin Hai for so many years but had never succeeded in catching him once, so he temporarily gave up on this method.

He planned to wait until Tang San grew up before killing Lin Hai together. He didn't believe that Lin Hai could stay in that turtle shell forever.

So Tang Hao returned to Ah Yin's place, wanting to spend some time with her.

However, at that very moment, Ah Yin, who was right next to Tang Hao, was trembling violently, seemingly both excited and afraid.

Tang Hao immediately became alert. "Ah Yin, Ah Yin, what's wrong?"

Ah Yin was still shaking violently.

Tang Hao gradually calmed down from his panic and began to think about why Ah Yin was acting this way.

As Tang Hao regained his composure, he gradually recalled the time when Ah Yin met their son, Xiao San, and she was in a similar state, appearing quite delighted at the time.

Tang Hao's thoughts began to wander again.

Almost immediately, Tang Hao's eyes widened and his gaze sharpened.

"Could it be one of those guys? If it really is him, he's really asking for trouble!"

"Hmph!" Having determined the main plot, Tang Hao immediately vanished in an instant.

……

Danger! Danger! Danger!!!

Lin Hai, who was flying from the North to Han Hai City, received a mental warning without any warning that a powerful enemy was approaching.

Lin Hai slipped away and looked around.

He was curious about who had suddenly become hostile towards him.

"They're here!" Lin Hai focused his mind.

To his northwest, a violent surge of soul power emanated from that direction.

"It really was you. I've been waiting for you for so many years without any results, and today you've delivered yourself right to my door."

"Hmph, it really came to me without any effort."

"Give me your life, kid!"

"To die by my hand is the glory of your life." The voice rang out even before the person arrived.

"Tang Hao!" Lin Hai recognized who it was.

"Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao, if I had been somewhat afraid of you before, now it's hard to say who will win!"

Lin Hai did not choose to expose his spirit rings, but instead used his mental power in conjunction with his weapon to attack.

Lin Hai took out the blade that was originally made from Tianxing iron ore from his soul tool.

Without uttering a single word, Lin Hai drew his blades, aiming directly at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao's flight speed was very fast, and Tang Hao and Lin Hai controlled the projected blades to rush forward in both directions.

"Hmph! You think a few pieces of iron can stop me? What a joke."

"Boy, let me give you the honor of witnessing the true power of our Clear Sky Hammer before you die!"

Lin Hai ignored Tang Hao's words and focused on doing his own thing.

The twenty star-shaped blades were skimming the air, almost touching Tang Hao.

"Hmph!" Tang Hao snorted coldly as he flew, and then the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand. Nine spirit rings, yellow, purple, black, black, black, and red, appeared beneath Tang Hao.

The moment the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, Lin Hai immediately felt the air in the area thin out, as if compressed by the pressure released by the Clear Sky Hammer. Lin Hai naturally felt this pressure as well.

Tang Hao swung his Clear Sky Hammer at the star-colored blades.

Just as Tang Hao was dismissive of the blades, thinking he could easily knock them away, the twenty star-colored blades suddenly changed their direction and trajectory.

"What!" Blades suddenly changed direction and attacked him from all directions, a sudden change that surprised Tang Hao.
