Chapter 3785: One Step Ahead

In the place of the Scarlet Seal, mist dispersed, and a sturdy figure stood in front.

Su Xiao raised his hand to block Amu, who was about to rush forward. Probing when battling a strong enemy was certainly important, but at the very least, he had to know the general situation of the strong enemy.

The scarlet mist in front surged and dissipated, revealing a stone platform a few steps high. A figure was standing on it; it was the Scarlet Monarch.

The sturdy figure over five meters tall gave a head-on sense of oppression. A golden-red battle armor, as if soaked in blood, clung to his body. The blood-red cloak behind him made the Scarlet Monarch look even sturdier and more majestic. The crown on his head that covered his face only revealed a pair of scarlet eyes.

The Scarlet Monarch held a scarlet scepter over five meters long with one hand. When Su Xiao sealed the Scarlet Scepter before, this scepter wasn't this long. It seemed it had adapted to the user's body size. This scepter was thick at the top and thin at the bottom. The thickest top end was about 15 centimeters thick. Ordinary people naturally couldn't hold such a thick scepter, but with the Scarlet Monarch's five-meter body size, his large hand just happened to grip the scepter.

The entire scepter looked like it was formed by tree roots, but Su Xiao, who had touched this scepter, knew that this scepter had an exceptionally heavy weight. Located at the tip of the scepter were knotted thorn blades. These scarlet thorn blades gave people a strong sense of ominousness; there was no need to doubt their penetrating power.

"I didn't expect that the one who helped me open the seal would actually be a Law-Breaker."

The Scarlet Monarch pointed the end of the scepter at the stone platform under his feet.

Boom!

The surrounding scarlet liquid splashed up, turning into stringy shapes and standing still in the air, causing the scarlet erosion here to suddenly strengthen several times.

……

Unparalleled, powerful vitality, a staggering amount of continuous health regeneration, and furthermore, this is not a pure melee fighter; he is equally adept at mid-range combat, and most of his abilities are area-of-effect killing moves.

Not to mention anything else, just the "Scarlet Erosion" ability was difficult to deal with to the extreme. Su Xiao never feared being injured by a strong enemy, consuming a large amount of health, but having his health upper limit reduced was another matter.

The strong enemy was in front, and it was no longer the time to consider these. Su Xiao gripped the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan, and the long blade was unsheathed. Just at this time, gray-white smoke rose on the Scarlet Monarch, which caused all his resistances to drop by a large chunk. Not only that, all the Scarlet Monarch's resistances began to slide continuously. It was the Priest who made a move.

But looking around, the Priest's trace couldn't be found at all. But the Scarlet Monarch on the opposite side raised his large hand, and the Priest, who was in the spatial rift, suddenly appeared. An irresistible suction force came, causing the Priest to fly in front of the Scarlet Monarch.

With a 'slap', the Scarlet Monarch's large hand gripped the Priest's head with one hand, and then exerted force in his hand. The Priest's head was crushed, and his life aura stopped abruptly, being killed in one hit.

The Priest's headless corpse fell, and with a 'plop', it fell into the scarlet liquid and was quickly eroded by the scarlet. But at the same time, the Priest's brain marrow that stained the Scarlet Monarch's hand also exhibited powerful erosion power. The result was that the Scarlet Monarch's total resistance dropped by another large chunk, and the "Immortal Monarch" recovery effect of recovering 1.5% Health per second dropped to 0.5% per second.

This was a considerable weakening. Previously, the Scarlet Monarch only needed 234 seconds, which was about 4 minutes, to recover 350% of his health, but now, it would take at least 700 seconds or more, which was 11 minutes and 40 seconds, to recover 350% of his health. Although it was still outrageous, at least it wasn't like just now, almost impossible to fight.

The Priest was killed on the spot. Su Xiao didn't believe the Priest had died just like that, but this wasn't the point. Amu, who was surging with cold mist, took the lead and rushed toward the Scarlet Monarch.

At this moment, Amu was already very different from the past. The two gourmet tests of the Monitor Tower caused its total attributes to soar, plus the Bloodthirsty Battle Axe just obtained. It could be imagined how big Amu's improvement was.

"Moo!"

Amu roared, jumped up from a distance of more than ten meters from the Scarlet Monarch, and performed a classic Amu jump slash.

The Scarlet Monarch raised his scepter, and the metal ornaments on his body collided and clattered. When red light appeared on the scepter, a blood-red energy pillar crashed down from the sky, immediately interrupting Amu's jump slash and slamming it to the ground.

Amu was what kind of cow? If it was only about the experience of being beaten, few people could rival it. Therefore, Amu immediately bounced up from the ground and completed the Amu jump slash that hadn't been achieved just now.

The Scarlet Monarch seemed to frown a bit. A giant hand composed of scarlet energy appeared beside him, gripped Amu with one hand, and after Amu let out a miserable 'moo', he threw it aside like throwing trash. Amu slammed hard into the dark seal, and then fell to the ground.

It seemed that the Scarlet Monarch quickly solved Amu, but in fact, Amu successfully resisted a big move of the Scarlet Monarch with a very long cooldown. As long as it was a strong person with insight, facing Amu's charge, they would choose to give it a big move to solve this battle cow. The reason was that Amu's deceleration ability was indeed very tricky.

Don't underestimate Amu's ice-type ability. Although Amu was somewhat silly, it was persistent and diligent. Its "Elemental Physique" ability allowed it to absorb natural elements and then release them, thereby achieving a good cycle with natural elements. It was favored by natural elements and could also improve itself.

For so long, Amu's ice-type ability had gradually changed from the original Frost Origin to Elemental Origin. The former could at most be considered a mid-tier energy system, while the latter was one of the two strongest energy systems.

Therefore, Amu's deceleration-type ability could take effect no matter how strong the enemy was. So after it rushed forward, the strong enemy would definitely choose to solve it first, even if it meant using a trump card, it didn't matter. In a decelerated state, clashing with a Law-Breaker who was a three-technique master would be a huge disadvantage.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha had disappeared beside Su Xiao. One integrated into the environment to add a halo, and the other hid in the different space, waiting for an opportunity at any time.

In this way, in the place of seal, it became a one-on-one confrontation between Su Xiao and the Scarlet Monarch. But this confrontation only lasted for a moment, and Scarlet energy erupted with the Scarlet Monarch as the center point.

With a 'boom', Scarlet energy came head-on. Su Xiao lowered his body, his clothes fluttering, and his left hand, wearing the Black King Bracer, blocked in front. But in the next instant, an even stronger wind pressure came head-on.

'Perfect Block!'

Su Xiao held his blade to block. In the scarlet surging forward, the Scarlet Monarch attacked at a speed inconsistent with his sturdy body, his scepter swinging and smashing with great force.

It seemed that using the Scarlet Scepter this way was wrong, but thinking carefully, this Original Sin Object couldn't be damaged, and it was over five meters long, plus exceptionally heavy. Looking at the weapons of the myriad worlds, those that could be heavier than the Scarlet Scepter didn't exceed five fingers.

More importantly, using this as a melee weapon would carry high scarlet damage, plus the Scarlet Monarch's own Scarlet Power's blessing on melee, which was a double scarlet effect. This was simply the Scarlet Monarch's best melee weapon.

Clang!!

A loud noise spread, the scepter and the long blade clashed, and the space of this place of seal was instantly filled with cracks like a broken mirror.

After suffering this blow, Su Xiao, who was in a perfect block state, only felt blood surging in his chest, and he took a big step back. You know, this was a perfect block state. The Scarlet Monarch was the first one who could knock him back a big step in this state.

"Perfect Parry (Core: Passive): Your parry with a melee weapon will be regarded as a perfect parry. Every level of technique-type ability you master will increase the block correction by 1 point. It is now 242 points of block correction."

Su Xiao's current Strength attribute was 397 points, plus 242 block correction, which was 639 points of Strength attribute block correction. If the Scarlet Monarch on the opposite side was restricted by the "Super-World-Tier Sealing Technique" and still had this kind of Strength attribute, then it couldn't be fought at all.

This sealing technique was comprehensive. For example, if the peak combat power of the seal was 100, then the sealed person would either have various abilities restricted or have all attributes restricted. Judging from the Scarlet Monarch's data, the intensity of his ability restriction wasn't as great as imagined. This meant that his total attributes must have been greatly suppressed. If things went wrong, it might be just over 400 points, and on average, it was only 20 points higher than Su Xiao.

But in this situation, the Scarlet Monarch knocked Su Xiao back with a scepter strike. This must have been caused by the Scarlet Scepter as an Original Sin Object.

A force piercing through his entire body struck, and just as Su Xiao was knocked back a large step, a shadow pressed down from the front. It was the shadow cast by the hulking Scarlet Monarch. With his scepter held high, he delivered another terrifyingly powerful slash. Su Xiao immediately entered a state of spatial penetration using Dragon Flash.

Thud!!

The earth trembled, and the scarlet liquid under his feet surged like a tide. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was at the edge of the battle field, felt the impact of this blow and shrank his dog head in fear. The expression clearly showed that he was terrified at that time.

Just after dodging this blow with Dragon Shadow Flash, Su Xiao broke away from the spatial penetration state and slashed at the Scarlet Monarch with one blade.

With a 'clatter', the blade and scepter clashed. What puzzled Su Xiao was that this time, there was no terrifying force on the enemy's scepter.

The Scarlet Monarch looked down at Su Xiao with his sturdy height, and then stepped forward with his large foot. While stepping down with a 'boom', the knockback ability "Blood Giant Tide" was activated.

With a 'boom', Su Xiao was knocked back by the scattered blood waves. Being in mid-air, he felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. Fortunately, his physique was strong enough. After stabilizing his posture, he landed, but in the next moment, the strong wind came head-on again.

'Perfect Block!'

Su Xiao held his blade to block again, and that terrifying force came again. This time he flew out on the spot, and after flying out for a few meters, he landed in a half-squat posture.

Everything around seemed to slow down. It was Su Xiao's "Master Induction" activated. He 'saw' the Scarlet Monarch's next attack, so he lay back and jumped in the half-squat posture he was maintaining. The next instant, the Scarlet Monarch's scepter brushed past his chest as he leaned back, blasting out a terrifying shock in the air.

While avoiding this blow, Su Xiao jumped back to stabilize his figure. After standing up again, he held his blade to block with one hand again. With a 'clatter', the scepter came, but this time the force returned to normal.

This made Su Xiao understand the situation. Every three attacks of the Scarlet Monarch were an attack cycle. Among the three attacks, two were strong attacks, which could only be resisted by perfect blocking. If it was a normal block, the parry would be broken instantly, and then he would suffer heavy damage.

'Blade Dao Blade: Flow.'

Su Xiao slashed out an elegant wind mark. The Scarlet Monarch, who was charging, used a scepter strike to break the slash of 'Flow' with a 'clang', which stopped his charging pace, but didn't interrupt his suppression.

Only to see the Scarlet Monarch lift his hand, the scarlet liquid in the area where Su Xiao was surged, and then exploded with a 'boom'. Blood flames dispersed, igniting the scarlet liquid here.

A residual shadow swept out from the explosion, and the long blade in his hand went straight to the Scarlet Monarch's throat. But the Scarlet Monarch was exceptionally calm, swinging his scepter in anger, and Su Xiao, who was charging in mid-air, was smashed to the ground with a 'boom'.

The Scarlet Monarch changed to holding the scepter backhanded, and went straight to Su Xiao's head with the spiral thorn blade at the end of the scepter.

Pfft～

The spiral thorn blade pierced through Su Xiao's head. As blood splashed, these bloodstains in mid-air turned into black smoke. It was the Magic Spirit.

'Blade Dao Blade: Slay.'

Su Xiao, positioned behind the Scarlet Monarch, slashed his blade diagonally. With a 'whoosh', the 'Shi'—now empowered by Blood Soul—released a blood-colored chain of light that appeared dark red, filled with tiny, scattered sparks of fire.

The slash ribbon enveloped the Scarlet Monarch. Blood flames ignited on his body. Almost at the same time, a loud 'crack' came from above, which was the World Thunder falling outside the seal.

'Blade Dao Blade: Extreme……'

Su Xiao slashed out with one blade, but unexpectedly, the Scarlet Monarch held the scepter with both hands and stabbed down, causing an exceptionally fierce "Blood Giant Tide" to spread.

Su Xiao's ears buzzed. After the weightlessness of being knocked away faded, he, who was facing upward while flying backward, saw a blood pillar dozens of meters thick falling head-on. He disappeared in place with Dragon Shadow Flash.

A loud noise came from his side, and blood-like energy splashed over. Su Xiao stood in place without moving an inch, his eyes fixed on the Scarlet Monarch a hundred meters away.

Although he still had many trump cards in his hand, Su Xiao could be certain that if he continued to fight the Scarlet Monarch like this, he would undoubtedly lose.

A muffled sound came from above. The dark seal that had originally shrouded the surroundings was now covered in cracks, like a giant eggshell about to break. This was the price of opening the dark seal. Once this seal was opened, its stability would be destroyed, leading to damage in a short period of time.

Boom, boom, boom……

Pieces of dark matter fell down like building debris. Among the falling dark matter, the Scarlet Monarch raised his scepter with one hand and raised his other hand, as if enjoying everything happening at this moment. Presumably, he had been trapped here for so many years, and now he was finally about to get out of trouble, so he would naturally enjoy the process of this seal collapsing.

First, the darkness scattered, then the outer layer of the Scarlet Seal drifted away, and finally, the outermost Nightmare Seal dissipated. The giant skull that shrouded this place also shattered and fell down. The giant skull at this time was like a giant ring-shaped bone wall, surrounding this field.

A blood moon hung in the sky. After the Scarlet Monarch saw this blood moon, there seemed to be a bit of a smile on his face under the mask, but then, this smile was restrained. He pointed the scepter in his hand at the ground, and after a muffled sound, he looked down at Su Xiao with his sturdy body and said:

"A Law-Breaker who couldn't even be sealed by a Supreme-tier actually dares to challenge me."

Thud!

The scepter in the Scarlet Monarch's hand smashed into the ground again, and the entire Skeleton Island trembled.

"Kneel down for me!!"

The Scarlet Monarch held the tip of the scepter, held the part above the spiral thorn with both hands, and Scarlet Power gathered at the top of the scepter, forming a giant hammer shape, and then smashed down.

Thud!!!

Scarlet spread on Skeleton Island. This wasn't the end. This shockwave spread to the surrounding sea, causing waves thousands of meters high to surge out with a 'boom'.

In the biting scarlet wind pressure, Su Xiao blocked in front with one hand. After the warning of his intuition reached the limit, he slashed forward with his long blade.

'Blade Dao Blade: Extreme.'

Clang!!

The long blade and the scepter clashed, but in the next instant, a pillar of blood crashed onto Su Xiao.

Su Xiao's ears buzzed. While flying backward, he suddenly felt a giant force coming from the surroundings, as if an invisible giant hand had gripped him, followed by a scarlet explosion.

While being blown away, Su Xiao felt a piercing pain in his right hand. Perceiving the situation on his arm, a scarlet mark appeared on his forearm, with blood-colored electric arcs flickering on it.

Su Xiao stabilized his posture and landed, but the moment his feet touched the ground.

Crack!

A blood-colored lightning bolt struck down. Fortunately, Su Xiao had already stepped aside, but this seemed to trigger a chain reaction. Blood lightning bolts struck down one after another, chasing his path. After ten blood lightning bolts struck down in succession, the situation calmed down.

The Scarlet Monarch wouldn't watch Su Xiao avoid the attack. The moment Su Xiao stopped, a pillar of blood dozens of meters thick crashed into his location. Under the impact of the liquid energy, everything in front of him went black.

Not giving Su Xiao half a moment to breathe, the Scarlet Monarch had already charged forward, his scepter swinging down.

'Perfect Block.'

Clang!!

After resisting another blow, Su Xiao felt blood surging in his body. If he wasn't a Supreme-tier with over 1.4 million health, an ordinary Supreme-tier would have been shaken to death after resisting two or three such attacks, even if they blocked it.

This fierce blow wasn't a real killing move. The Scarlet Monarch on the opposite side exploded into blood energy. The one who could use this intensity of attack was actually a clone!

Pfft!

The spiral thorn blade of the scepter pierced through Su Xiao's chest. The Scarlet Monarch behind him held Su Xiao high with the scepter, and Scarlet energy gathered instantly.

Thud!!

Scarlet explosion, both cruel and somewhat gorgeous. The broken translucent crystal layer splashed. At the moment the scarlet explosion occurred, Su Xiao swapped positions with the Magic Spirit.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of meters away, blood gushed out from the wound on Su Xiao's chest. This piercing wound was as thick as an arm. Fortunately, his powerful vitality at this time derived enough recovery power, resisting the scarlet erosion and suppressing this injury, although it couldn't be fully recovered, it wouldn't gush blood.

Compared to this injury, Su Xiao's original 100% health upper limit had now dropped to 55%. This was more fatal. As for using recovery potions, the health was full now, and recovery potions were useless.

The strong enemy Scarlet Monarch on the opposite side, whether in combat means, combat experience, or the use of abilities, was worthy of being a former top-tier Supreme-tier. Even if he had just come out of the seal and his combat power was suppressed to Supreme-tier, he wasn't someone Su Xiao could deal with now.

Of course, as a Blade Technique Master, as long as Su Xiao was given a chance, he could make the Scarlet Monarch pay a painful price. The problem was, the strong enemy on the opposite side had no flaws.

The Scarlet Monarch raised the scepter in his hand, and a pillar of blood light crashed down from above, crashing into Su Xiao who was attacking. This wasn't the end. The Scarlet Monarch used a scepter strike to blow Su Xiao away.

Su Xiao broke through a residual shadow and crashed a hundred meters away. Amidst the splashing mud and broken white bones, he held his blade to block with one hand.

Clang!

Su Xiao's figure, which hadn't stabilized yet, was blown away again. Being in mid-air, he pointed at the Scarlet Monarch.

'Blood Smoke Cannon.'

The Blood Smoke Cannon was blocked by the Scarlet Monarch with his bare hands. The Scarlet Monarch had already experienced this move once. But in the next instant, a golden World Thunder struck down instantly.

Crack!!

This World Thunder was too fast and too sudden. The Scarlet Monarch was shrouded in golden electric arcs, and his whole body fell into instantaneous paralysis. Su Xiao knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.

From the beginning of the battle to now, Su Xiao basically hadn't hurt the Scarlet Monarch, just slashed out one 'Blade Dao Blade: Slay'. But with the Scarlet Monarch's recovery power, this injury had long since recovered.

Su Xiao was doing it on purpose. The Scarlet Monarch had a health bar as high as 320%, plus an outrageous passive recovery ability. His plan was: either don't use a killing move, or once a killing move was used, he must make it impossible for the Scarlet Monarch to turn the tables.

The blood energy phantom was behind Su Xiao, and the already fully drawn soul bow shot out a black smoke arrow. When the black smoke arrow reached the front of the Scarlet Monarch, Su Xiao swapped positions with it. As for why he didn't directly use Dragon Shadow Flash to move, Dragon Shadow Flash could be used one more time, but it would enter a long cooldown due to continuous use, so the remaining one Dragon Shadow Flash was exceptionally critical.

Before Su Xiao swapped positions with the Magic Spirit, he had already started to accumulate power for 'Blade Dao Blade: Slay'. After completing the position swap, the blood-colored ribbon slashed out, enveloping the Scarlet Monarch. And this 'Blade Dao Blade: Slay' consumed a full 25% of his blood energy.

Another golden World Thunder struck down. The Scarlet Monarch, who was just about to recover from the lightning paralysis, fell into lightning paralysis again.

Su Xiao, who jumped back slightly, just happened to avoid the range of the World Thunder. He stepped forward in the next instant, and a large amount of Azure Steel Shadow energy clung to Checking Zhan Long Shan.

'Blade Dao Blade: Extreme.'

The long blade slashed past, and the Scarlet Monarch's throat was slashed open. Blood scattered out. Almost at the same time, the Scarlet Monarch recovered from the lightning paralysis.

'Blood Giant Tide.'

With a 'thud', the blood tide spread with the Scarlet Monarch as the center. Su Xiao entered the Dragon Shadow Flash state, just happening to avoid this strong knockback.

Clang!

The long blade and the scepter slashed against each other. Unexpectedly, the long blade in Su Xiao's hand was damaged, and the scepter smashed into him. Iron sand-like black smoke splashed. As for where Su Xiao himself was, he was naturally behind the Scarlet Monarch.

The container of the Sun Holy Sword shattered, and the liquid Sun Holy Sword clung to Su Xiao's right lower leg. He performed a Sun Straight Kick toward the Scarlet Monarch's lower back.

At first, it was silent. After a short dead silence, it was a loud noise. The Scarlet Monarch turned into a residual shadow. Just as he was about to fly out of the range of Skeleton Island, his large hand pulled out layers of ripples in the air, stopping his backward flight.

After landing, the Scarlet Monarch almost couldn't stand firm, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. Those eyes that were widened a bit seemed to be wondering when the Law-Breaker faction had this move.

A strong enemy like the Scarlet Monarch, after suffering a Sun Straight Kick, not only didn't retreat, but instead flashed a few times, narrowing the distance with Su Xiao, because he was certain that after using an ability of this power, the movement speed of that Law-Breaker would inevitably weaken for a period of time.

Wind pressure came head-on. Su Xiao looked at the Scarlet Monarch charging from the front. His right foot and right lower leg were somewhat numb now, and his movement speed would inevitably drop sharply. The enemy he was dealing with this time had too strong survivability.

Just as the Scarlet Monarch was charging with the blood tide, he suddenly stopped, and the blood tide under his feet stopped. The Scarlet Monarch looked at the sky. I don't know when, a huge dark cloud vortex had appeared above, with golden World Thunder surging inside, and it had reached the critical point.

This scene reminded the Scarlet Monarch of a rumor from the past: a Law-Breaker of Shadows called World Thunder in the Void, but because the World Thunder was too strong, he was struck to death by it. Generally speaking, there were two ways to call World Thunder: calling World Thunder by fortune or elemental affinity. Clearly, the strength of the World Thunder above was triggered by the latter.

The Scarlet Monarch looked at the Law-Breaker on the opposite side. His only thought was that this lunatic wanted to die with him.

The Scarlet Monarch had been trapped in the seal for so many years. Now that he was finally out of trouble, he naturally didn't want to die with Su Xiao, so he released all his Scarlet Power, turning it into crystal quality, clinging to all parts of his body.

Dead silence surged beside Su Xiao. When the World Thunder above was about to strike, he pulled out "Dead Silence Extinction" from the dead silence and aimed it at the Scarlet Monarch who had entered a defensive state in front.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five Extinction Bullets were all blocked by the Scarlet crystal grease layer. The Scarlet Monarch in defense stared coldly at Su Xiao, but in the next second, Su Xiao activated "Dead Silence Devouring Explosion".

"Dead Silence Devouring Explosion (Ability attached to Dead Silence Extinction): If all five Extinction Bullets hit, a 'Dead Silence Devouring Explosion' can be performed, destroying all defensive effects of this enemy."

With a 'boom', the Scarlet Monarch's indestructible defense was damaged. This made him both surprised and furious, and also wondering about one thing: why didn't the Law-Breaker on the opposite side defend against the World Thunder? Was he not afraid of the powerful destructive power of the World Thunder?

The answer was, he wasn't afraid.

Boom!!!

A thunder pillar hundreds of kilometers thick fell, standing between heaven and earth, and continued to pour down golden thunder. The entire Skeleton Island was instantly occupied by World Thunder, and the World Thunder was still spreading to the surrounding sea.

Su Xiao and the Scarlet Monarch were submerged in the World Thunder. In the lightning, Su Xiao lost all sensation. Abilities like "Falling Thunder: Soul Core" and "Extreme Physique: Heaven's Wrath" were all activated, and the "Immortal Physique" that hadn't been activated also activated, providing him with high physical defense.

Why would this happen? The reason was that the Scarlet erosion Su Xiao suffered was instantly cleared. The World Thunder called down by 1052 points of elemental affinity was better than any prop or potion's purification effect. As long as he could keep from dying, any debuff state would be cleared in this kind of World Thunder.

An eggshell-shaped shield appeared. It was the invincible shield of the 【Strong Emblem】. This was Su Xiao's true means of resisting the World Thunder of this world. Unfortunately, this was the last use of the 【Strong Emblem】, and the 【Strong Emblem】 was damaged.

When everything calmed down, Skeleton Island was already scorched black. The reason why this island didn't collapse was that this place was the center of the entire Sand Sea. If this place collapsed, the Sand Sea would also cease to exist.

The team skill "Vitality Awakening" was triggered, and Su Xiao's health quickly recovered by more than half. He looked at the opposite side. The Scarlet Monarch, whose blood-colored cloak was tattered, was kneeling on one knee. He held the scepter with one hand, and the scepter was half-pierced into the ground. The next second, the Scarlet Monarch looked up, and the residual golden electric arcs on the broken mask flashed and disappeared.

"You Law-Breakers, your brains... all have... problems."

The Scarlet Monarch stood up. Before he could stand straight, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"You have the qualifications to be my enemy, and even more qualifications to slay me under your blade. So, don't blame me for using an Original Sin Object to deal with you, Law-Breaker of Shadows."

The Scarlet Scepter in the Scarlet Monarch's hand was gradually activated, and blood-red tentacles spread out from inside.

Hearing the Scarlet Monarch say this, Su Xiao didn't speak, but took out the Original Sin Book and completely released the seal of the Original Sin Book. Four Original Sin Objects appeared: Collector, Necronomicon, Nether Bone Ring, and Soul Crown.

Among them, the dark golden vortex-like Collector merged into Su Xiao's back heart, causing a dark golden ring to appear on his chest.

Ask, why was the Collector willing to actively help Su Xiao? The answer was simple. Among the four Original Sin Objects, the one with the best relationship with Su Xiao wasn't the Necronomicon, but the Collector.

The main characteristics of the Collector were "Satisfaction" and "Desire". After the collecting habit was satisfied, it wouldn't pose a threat to surrounding things. But once it entered "Desire", the Collector would continuously devour the World Power of the world it was in, expected to cause a world to collapse in 20～50 natural days.

Therefore, the core of the Collector lay in a collecting habit. Ask, what could be more satisfying to the Collector's collecting habit than collecting Original Sin Objects of the same tier? Especially since an Original Sin Object of the same big-daddy level was right in front of him. As long as he slew the Scarlet Monarch, the Scarlet Scepter would be the new sealed object of the Original Sin Book, which could also be considered a new collection of the Collector.

Usually, even if Su Xiao was about to die, the Collector wouldn't care. But this time, the Collector would definitely be willing to help actively.

If it was just this, it wouldn't be enough for Su Xiao to take the risk to deal with the Scarlet Monarch. The second key point was that he had previously let the Necronomicon devour the "Pale Lord". The exceptionally satisfied Necronomicon promised to help him once.

The Collector's collecting habit and the Necronomicon's promise—these actually still weren't enough for Su Xiao to take the risk here.

Don't forget, the strong enemy on the opposite side, the Scarlet Monarch, was also a holder of an Original Sin Object. Once he killed Su Xiao, he could use the Scarlet Scepter he already held to make the Collector, Necronomicon, Nether Bone Ring, and Soul Crown unable to entangle him. But as a price, the Scarlet Monarch must spend a huge price to strengthen the seal of the Eternal Light World without limit, ensuring that the four Original Sin Objects were always trapped here.

In other worlds, Su Xiao wasn't sure about the attitudes of the Nether Bone Ring and Soul Crown, but in the Eternal Light World, these two Original Sin Objects wouldn't be stingy about releasing power even if they wouldn't actively help like the Necronomicon.

What was the Original Sin characteristic of the Collector? The answer was in the introduction about the Collector in the Abyss Shop.

"Collector: Original Sin Characteristic: The Collector can hold and use other Original Sin Objects without price."

At this moment, the Collector was blessing Su Xiao. On the opposite side, the Scarlet Monarch, who was holding the Scarlet Scepter and preparing to show Su Xiao what an Original Sin Object was, was stunned for a moment. But this was a Supreme-tier after all, knowledgeable and experienced. Even though his knowledge had received a near-destructive impact and almost cracked, he still pointed the Scarlet Scepter at Su Xiao.

Suddenly, a mutation occurred. A large number of translucent tentacles entangled the Scarlet Scepter. Even the Scarlet Monarch felt his right arm go numb. It was the Necronomicon suppressing the Scarlet Scepter.

Su Xiao, blessing the Collector, gripped the Nether Bone Ring with one hand. Right now, his situation clearly couldn't be counted as using an Original Sin Object; it was more like being forced by the situation, and the Original Sin Objects were helping him fight.

The moment Su Xiao gripped the Nether Bone Ring, this bone ring was branded on the palm of his right hand, turning into a dark green ring.

Almost at the same time, the Soul Crown appeared above the Scarlet Monarch, and unparalleled mental suppression poured down. Even with the Scarlet Monarch's strength, it was inevitable that he would enter a state of distraction.

With a 'boom', Su Xiao disappeared in place. When he appeared again, he was already in front of the Scarlet Monarch. He wasn't holding Checking Zhan Long Shan, but gripped his fists with both hands, blessing Nether Power, and punched the Scarlet Monarch's abdomen.

Thud!!

The entire Skeleton Island trembled. This was the terrifying power of the Nether Bone Ring.

After one punch, the Scarlet Monarch knelt on one knee on the spot, and Su Xiao's left fist, wrapped in dark green Nether Power, punched the Scarlet Monarch's chest.

Thud!!

The golden-red battle armor on the Scarlet Monarch shattered on the spot. Not only that, under the simultaneous suppression of the three Original Sin Objects, cracks spread all over his body instantly.

The Scarlet Monarch, whose chest suffered a heavy blow, was forced to lower his head. The last Sun Holy Sword was released by Su Xiao. The container shattered, and the liquid Sun Holy Sword clung to his right hand. This upper hook punch, blessed with Nether and Sun, landed solidly on the Scarlet Monarch's chin.

Thud!!

The Scarlet Monarch was punched into the air by an upper hook punch, but under the suppression of the Soul Crown, he couldn't fly too high, which caused his head to be covered in cracks.

Just a moment ago, it was the Scarlet Monarch who was about to suppress Su Xiao to death and kill him on the spot, but in a flash, it reversed.

When the Scarlet Monarch crashed to the ground, Su Xiao had already charged forward holding his blade with one hand, black-blue smoke surging on the blade. He stabbed the Scarlet Monarch who was lying on the ground with a backhanded blade.

The Scarlet Monarch raised his arm and grabbed Checking Zhan Long Shan with his bare hands, but this couldn't stop the long blade. He could only let go of the Scarlet Scepter and grip the blade edge with both hands.

Under the blessing of the Nether Bone Ring, Su Xiao could explode with unparalleled power. He stabbed down with his blade backhanded. The long blade broke through layers of wind pressure, causing the surrounding space to shatter with a 'boom', and pierced through the Scarlet Monarch's throat with one blade.

Pierced through the throat by Magic Blade, the Scarlet Monarch's eyes widened, and the large hand that gripped Checking Zhan Long Shan until it clattered lost its strength.

"In the end, I died at the hands of a Law-Breaker."

After saying this, the Scarlet Monarch suddenly erupted with great power, which made Su Xiao only able to pull out his blade and retreat. Only to see the Scarlet Monarch stand up from the ground with his whole body trembling, wanting to stand up, but in the end, he could only kneel on one knee and couldn't stand up at all.

At this moment, the Scarlet Monarch finally lowered his head. He knew he had lost.

Pfft!

The long blade slashed past, and the Scarlet Monarch's head was slashed off. He died here maintaining the posture of wanting to stand up.

Su Xiao flicked the blood off the blade. After the long blade was sheathed, he immediately pulled the Nether Bone Ring away from his palm, and immediately stripped the Collector, and then sealed the Original Sin Objects back into the Original Sin Book in the order of Collector, Necronomicon, Nether Bone Ring, and Soul Crown.

By this time, Su Xiao felt a wave of dizziness coming, and he almost fell down, but……

The Scarlet Monarch, already slain! ===== CHAPTER 3786 =====

"Collector · Original Sin Trait: The Collector can possess and use other Original Sin items without cost."

At this moment, the Collector was empowering Su Xiao. Opposite him, the Scarlet Monarch, who held the Scarlet Scepter and had been preparing to show Su Xiao what an Original Sin item was, was momentarily stunned. However, he was, after all, a supreme powerhouse with vast experience. Even though his worldview was currently suffering a near-catastrophic impact and nearly shattering, he still pointed the Scarlet Scepter at Su Xiao.

Suddenly, an anomaly occurred. A large number of translucent tentacles wrapped around the Scarlet Scepter. Even the Scarlet Monarch felt his right arm go numb; it was the Necronomicon suppressing the Scarlet Scepter.

Su Xiao, empowered by the Collector, gripped the Nether Bone Ring with one hand. His current situation clearly could not be considered "using" an Original Sin item; it was more like a forced circumstance where the Original Sin items were helping him fight.

The moment Su Xiao gripped the Nether Bone Ring, the ring branded itself onto the palm of his right hand, transforming into a ghostly green ring.

Almost simultaneously, the Soul Crown appeared above the Scarlet Monarch. An unparalleled mental suppression poured down, and despite the Scarlet Monarch's strength, he could not avoid entering a dazed state.

With a 'boom', Su Xiao vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Scarlet Monarch. He was not holding Dragon Flash; instead, he clenched his fists, empowered by Nether energy, and slammed a punch into the Scarlet Monarch's abdomen.

Thud!!

The entire Skeleton Island trembled; this was the terrifying power of the Nether Bone Ring.

With one punch, the Scarlet Monarch immediately dropped to one knee, and Su Xiao's left fist, wrapped in ghostly green Nether energy, slammed into the Scarlet Monarch's chest.

Thud!!

The gold-red battle armor on the Scarlet Monarch's body immediately shattered. Not only that, but under the simultaneous suppression of the three Original Sin items, cracks instantly spread across his body.

The Scarlet Monarch, whose chest had suffered a heavy blow, was forced to lower his head. Su Xiao released the final Solar Holy Sword. The container shattered, and the liquid Solar Holy Sword clung to his right hand. This uppercut, imbued with both Nether and Solar energy, landed solidly on the Scarlet Monarch's jaw.

Thud!!

The Scarlet Monarch was sent flying upward by the uppercut, but under the suppression of the Soul Crown, he could not fly very high, which caused his skull to be covered in cracks.

The situation, which just moments ago had the Scarlet Monarch on the verge of suppressing Su Xiao to death and killing him on the spot, had reversed in an instant.

As the Scarlet Monarch crashed to the ground, Su Xiao had already lunged forward with his blade in one hand. Black-blue smoke surged on the blade, and he backhanded a stab toward the fallen Scarlet Monarch.

The Scarlet Monarch raised one arm and grabbed Dragon Flash with his bare hand, but this could not stop the long blade. He had no choice but to release the Scarlet Scepter and grip the blade with both hands.

Empowered by the Nether Bone Ring, Su Xiao could unleash unparalleled strength. He backhanded the blade downward, piercing through layers of wind pressure, causing the surrounding space to shatter with a boom, and then ran the blade through the Scarlet Monarch's throat.

Pierced through the throat by the Magic Blade, the Scarlet Monarch's eyes widened. His large hands, which had been gripping the blade of Dragon Flash until they creaked, gradually lost their strength.

"In the end... I die... at the hands of... a Law Destroyer."

After speaking, the Scarlet Monarch suddenly erupted with immense power, forcing Su Xiao to withdraw his blade and retreat. The Scarlet Monarch rose from the ground, his whole body trembling. He tried to stand, but in the end, he could only drop to one knee, unable to stand up even a fraction further.

At this moment, the Scarlet Monarch finally lowered his head; he knew he had lost.

Puchi!

The long blade slashed across, and the Scarlet Monarch's head was severed. He died right there, maintaining the posture of trying to stand up.

Su Xiao flicked the blood off his blade. After sheathing it, he immediately pulled the Nether Bone Ring from his palm and stripped away the Collector, then resealed the Original Sin items back into the Original Sin Book in the order of Collector, Necronomicon, Nether Bone Ring, and Soul Crown.

At this point, Su Xiao felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and he nearly collapsed, but...

The Scarlet Monarch had been slain!
