Did Something Bad and Still Think You Can Run?

"Found it!"

Lin Ye's lips involuntarily curled upwards.

He spent half an hour finally finding the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Um...

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was now in his hands.

This is a palm-sized, deep blue triangular pyramid, its overall shape resembling a deep-sea sapphire.

Lin Ye observed carefully...

Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud the vast expanse of water, ripples flowed like living things, Youyou blue light slowly emanated, and a gentle, precious glow lingered in the palm, radiating a deep and boundless energy fluctuation.

"This is the Sea God's Heart!"

Lin Ye's thoughts stirred slightly.

He used his spiritual power to sense the mysteries of the Divine Artifact.

A cool and vast power surged into his mind, like gentle seawater constantly lapping against his brain.

"What the hell?"

Lin Ye hadn't had time to react.

An invisible bond of consciousness was instantly established between him and the Sea God's Heart.

Forced recognition of a master?

Is this a prelude to him inheriting the Sea God Godhood?

No!

Lin Ye felt that things were not that simple.

Before he could think any further...

The surrounding reality faded and disappeared rapidly.

His consciousness was forcibly pulled into a boundless, azure spiritual world.

Vast waves surged and churned in the sea of consciousness.

A series of grand scenes slowly unfolded before his eyes, and he felt as if he were watching a movie.

Lin Ye looked closely...

These images depict the past of Poseidon, the Sea God, as he cultivated himself over thousands of years.

He saw Poseidon rise from the deep sea, fight against countless sea beasts and conquer the four seas, subdue a host of powerful Soul Beast of the ocean, go through countless life-and-death battles, break through numerous shackles, and step by step ascend to the position of god.

After Lin Ye finished watching these clips...

He was forcibly pulled out of his mental world by a gentle yet powerful force.

Lin Ye felt as if he had spent a thousand years in the spiritual world, but when he returned to reality, he found that it had only been a few breaths.

What does this mean?

Lin Ye was a little confused.

He felt that Sea God was showing off.

It seems to be telling him how awesome he is, having become a supreme god after thousands of years.

Lin Ye shook his head, trying to stop thinking about it.

His top priority now is to leave with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

However...

When he touched the Sea-Containing Universe Shield again, an invisible energy fluctuation suddenly appeared.

"This is...?"

Suddenly, some information that he hadn't seen before appeared in his mind.

[Vast Sea Protective Shroud: Releases a shield that isolates the wearer from physical presence, aura, and Spiritual Detection. Those inside the shield can see clearly, but those outside cannot see inside. It possesses extremely strong defense, capable of withstanding attacks from Titled Douluo, and also has a water-repellent effect.]

[Cosmic Spirit-Fixing Shroud: Releases a shield capable of immobilizing targets with less than three times the user's mental strength, rendering them completely unable to move.]

[Vast Sea Raging Waves: Unleashes a massive, ocean-like energy wave, bombarding all enemies within a wide area. Its power increases with the user's Soul Power.]

[Cosmic Demon-Breaking: Attacks possess the demon-breaking property, capable of eroding and disintegrating the enemy's Soul Power. It is specifically designed to counter Soul Master's Soul Power defense and is suitable for dealing with powerful enemies to unleash burst damage.]

[...]

Lin Ye gasped.

If the Sea God only wanted to tell him about the skills of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, then it was completely unnecessary for him, a transmigrator.

But... that's not the case!

The moment the skill information of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud appeared in his mind, he also mastered all four skills.

Has he gained the approval of the Sea God?

Um...

He thinks so!

If he were to go to Sea God Island now, he might actually encounter the Nine Trials of Sea God.

But...

Lin Ye didn't want to do that yet.

There are many ways for him to become a god, and inheriting the Sea God Godhood is a more suitable alternative.

Just then...

Suddenly, the sound of a door being pushed open came from the Imperial Treasury.

Lin Ye noticed a group of people suddenly entering from outside, seemingly coming to retrieve something from the Imperial Treasury.

They're outta here!

Lin Ye knew he couldn't linger any longer.

He took the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and left immediately.

Lin Ye believed that his operation was flawless.

However...

He had just flown out of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

A powerful aura instantly enveloped his head.

The next second.

A powerful surge of Soul Power rushed straight at his face.

Lin Ye threw a punch.

The sudden attack of Soul Power crumbled before his eyes.

Lin Ye did not relax in the slightest after repelling his opponent's attack.

On the contrary.

His expression suddenly became more serious.

Because from that one strike alone, he knew that his opponent's strength had reached the level of Titled Douluo.

"There aren't many people in the entire Heaven Dou City who can withstand my punch."

If I'm not mistaken...

"We must have met before."

The newcomer was none other than the Snake Lance Douluo from the Spirit Hall.

He and the Pufferfish took turns protecting Qian Renxue's safety.

A few days ago...

He learned that someone had secretly infiltrated the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace in an attempt to assassinate Xue Ye. He never expected that he would actually encounter this so-called assassin.

To put it another way...

The fact that he encountered this so-called 'assassin' here today proves that the other party's purpose was definitely not to assassinate Xue Ye.

However, it's understandable that the military commander of the Heaven Dou Empire failed to capture the person.

Because just from that punch, he could conclude that this person's strength far surpassed that of Ge Long.

They were simply running away because they didn't want to get entangled or expose themselves.

Lin Ye's response was simple.

War!

Knowing that the Snake Lance Douluo was blocking his way, he knew he wouldn't let him leave easily.

"Still has a short temper."

The Snake Lance Douluo's tone carried a hint of mockery.

You guessed right!

He certainly wouldn't let the other party leave so easily today.

Because he needed to figure out the other party's identity and purpose today.

The reason is simple!

Qian Renxue's infiltration plan has reached its final crucial stage, and any seemingly insignificant factor could cause the Spirit Hall's plan to fail completely.

Furthermore...

The opponent is quite strong.

This kind of Soul Master is no insignificant factor.

Lin Ye unleashed a powerful punch!

A surge of immense Soul Power exploded at the tip of his fist, the icy white energy roaring and surging, tearing the air apart with a piercing bang.

Lin Ye was thankful that he had disguised himself well in these previous operations, otherwise he would definitely have been recognized by the Snake Lance Douluo today.

"Drink--"

"Snake Lance Douluo gave a low shout."

He swung his Snake Lance forcefully, severing the force of the punch.

Ice?!

This is the information he gleaned about Lin Ye from their earlier exchange.

However...

He racked his brains for a long time but still couldn't find a match.

There are quite a few ice-attribute Soul Master in the Douluo Continent, but none are particularly powerful.

"Friend!"

"Release your Martial Soul."

"Otherwise, you won't be leaving today."

Snake Lance Douluo remained calm and composed.

It doesn't matter that he doesn't know the other person's identity right now.

Once the opponent's Martial Soul is forced out, the so-called disguise will crumble.
