Chapter 190: with translation of chapter title

This power is truly strong enough!

Feeling his own life draining away at an ever-increasing speed, Su Hao couldn't help but sigh.

From the brief test, Su Hao could confirm that a Third Tier Supernatural being absolutely cannot withstand the scorching of the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire.

Even a Supernatural Fourth Rank, once their soul is ignited by the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire, has a high probability of dying as their soul is burned away and their blood is drained.

Moreover, this is merely the increase in burning trend and temperature from the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire absorbing the victim's blood.

If Su Hao uses Scarlet Touch to summon scarlet tendrils, or uses Scarlet Missile, he can further accelerate the burning speed of the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire.

In his view, even without using the Death Scythe, relying solely on his near-indestructible body plus the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire, he would have the qualification to fight a Supernatural Fourth Rank head-on.

A Supernatural Second Rank, relying on a Fourth Tier ability, could fight a Supernatural Fourth Rank head-on; even if said aloud, few would believe it.

"Too bad, there's no Supernatural Fourth Rank here for me to test on."

Su Hao helplessly shook his head, then planned to extinguish this cluster of Bloodthirsty Soul Fire; if it kept burning, he'd likely die.

"Wait!"

But just then, Su Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

According to the description of the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire's skill effect, it can continuously increase its burning trend and temperature by absorbing the energy contained in surrounding blood.

Could it also be understood that, as long as there is enough blood to supply it with energy, the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire could keep burning continuously, serving as a stored fire source? Thinking of this, Su Hao's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken a bit.

If this could really be done, then Su Hao could not only use the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire without consumption.

Moreover, the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire used this way would have a larger volume, higher temperature, and could keep growing.

But soon, Su Hao shook his head, temporarily rejecting this idea.

This isn't to say Su Hao's guess is wrong; the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire can indeed maintain a continuous burning trend by absorbing surrounding blood.

Furthermore, Su Hao can also control the blood absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire and its burning trend through the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire skill rune deep in his soul.

However, the problem is that this kind of continuously burning and expanding flame cannot be placed in an ordinary Storage Bag; it must be a special storage item to be stored.

Even if the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire could burn continuously, Su Hao couldn't just carry it around like that.

That would be too flashy, equivalent to laying out his trump card for everyone to see; he wouldn't do such a foolish thing.

"First, let Ling Xue'er help look for it, see if there's such a supernatural item."

Afterwards, Su Hao slightly moved his thought, extinguishing that cluster of Bloodthirsty Soul Fire that had expanded to several times its size.

And he sent a message to Ling Xue'er, asking her to go into the group to help purchase some supernatural items that can contain flames and guarantee they keep burning.

After doing these, the arrangements for the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire were temporarily concluded; Su Hao took a few drops of Scarlet Essence Blood and consumed it to recover his injuries.

At the same time, Su Hao turned his gaze toward the damaged armor nearby.

After the headless knight's corpse is refined, it will yield two different items.

One is soul fire, the other is this armor that looks somewhat damaged.

【Damaged Knight's Armor】

Supernatural Grade: Third Tier effect: It has decent defense; a Supernatural Second Rank's attack is hard to break through, and it can also partially resist soul attacks.

But note: if a living being wears this armor, there is a high chance they will degenerate into a mindless undead creature.

……

"I didn't expect this battered-looking armor to actually be able to resist soul attacks."

Looking at the appraisal results displayed, Su Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, showing a look of surprise.

Although the aura emitted by this armor is strong, making it apparent at a glance that it is likely a Third Tier Supernatural item.

However, the headless knight did not display particularly strong defensive power in the initial battle.

But upon further thought, it's not that the headless knight's defense is too weak; rather, the frenzied Brutal Magic Ox is terrifyingly strong.

As for the Death Scythe's attack, that goes without saying.

Even if the armor on the headless knight can resist soul attacks, what could possibly block the Death Scythe's soul damage? Even if most of the Death Scythe's effects are sealed, that's still not something a Third Tier undead creature can resist.

The Death Scythe is an item forged jointly by the God of Death and the dwarven divine craftsman.

Moreover, it contains the primal divine power of the God of Death, dealing extra damage to undead beings; even if the headless knight wears this armor that can resist soul attacks, the result is the same.

Thus, in that initial battle, it wasn't because this armor's defense was insufficient, but because Su Hao and his army's attacks were too sharp, leading to that result.

On the contrary, after Su Hao's simple test, he found this armor has decent defense; a Supernatural Second Rank basically cannot break it.

Even a Third Tier Supernatural's attack can be partially blocked.

As long as it's not a powerful Third Tier Supernatural monster like the Brutal Magic Ox, an ordinary Third Tier Supernatural wanting to break through this armor's defense would need to put in some effort.

Regarding soul-targeted attacks, its defense is equally strong; against a Supernatural Second Rank it can be considered invincible, and against a Third Tier Supernatural it can hold out for a while.

The only drawback is that this is an item exclusive to undead creatures, imbued with strong death energy.

If a living being wears this armor, both flesh and soul will be eroded by death energy, eventually turning into an undead creature.

Even if this living being's Supernatural Grade is high enough to resist the death energy, they might not turn into an undead creature right away.

However, being affected by death energy will also greatly reduce their combat strength; forcibly wearing this armor is actually not a good thing.

However, this doesn't affect Su Hao much; his current idea is to take these armors and equip them on skeleton warriors to forge an elite unit.

If they wear this set of armor, plus the Blood Shield Technique for protection, these basically cost-free skeleton warriors will see their survivability greatly increased.

Furthermore, equipping them with Energy Laser Guns and other energy weapons, among all Supernatural Second Ranks, they can be said to have few rivals.

If coordinated well, perhaps they could even defeat a Third Tier Supernatural head-on.

Of course, if they could refine humanoid hellish demons, Su Hao would prioritize distributing this set of armor to them.

Besides that, after establishing trade relations with the dwarven clan in the future, perhaps they could also give this set of armor to them, allowing them to further increase the armor's defense and Supernatural Grade.

But those are matters for later; afterward, Su Hao stopped thinking about it, and with a turn of his thought, he took the huge loathsome corpse from the Storage Bag and applied Item Refining Technique to it.

The corpse of a Third Tier Supernatural headless knight can yield this much good stuff; a Supernatural Fourth Rank loathsome corpse will certainly not be worse.
