Chapter 224

It's fine, just wait outside.

Su Hao waved his hand, gave no further explanation, and immediately led over a hundred pale skeleton warriors into the great hall.

Nowadays, as long as it's not a Supernatural Fifth Rank, he doesn't take it too seriously.

Whether it's Crimson Tendrils, Bloodthirsty Soulfire, or the Death Scythe, they all have the ability to threaten a Supernatural Fourth Rank.

Moreover, Su Hao's physique and spiritual power have already reached Supernatural Third Tier, not far from Supernatural Fourth Rank.

Furthermore, with his astonishing regenerative ability, as long as he isn't instantly killed, he can sustain output and literally wear down a Supernatural Fourth Rank.

If it weren't to avoid causing too much destruction, he would blow up the supernatural items in this Gongdian.

Su Hao could also choose to first use the Blazing Pumpkin Head to self-destruct a wave, then go in himself to finish the blow.

In short, a mere Supernatural Fourth Rank crystal stone giant, Su Hao indeed doesn't take it to heart.

But Iron Lump and the others don't know this; their moods have all become tense and worried.

The highest Supernatural Grade among them is only First Rank; let alone Supernatural Fourth Rank, even if it were just Supernatural Second or Supernatural Third Tier, they couldn't participate, only able to stand in place, looking worriedly as Su Hao entered the Gongdian.

In their hearts they silently prayed for Su Hao, hoping nothing would happen to him.

Meanwhile, Su Hao had already led over a hundred pale skeleton warriors through the broken gate and arrived in the great hall.

Just as seen from outside, this great hall indeed has only a single story, but its height is terrifying, nearly a hundred meters.

Whether it's the murals inside the great hall or the architectural structure, they are extraordinarily large, clearly not the kind of building constructed and used by small-sized humans.

From this grandiose style, the original owner of this building is likely the giant race.

On the wall directly opposite the gate, there is a stone door slightly shorter, only about ten meters tall, while the other positions are empty.

However, Su Hao's attention at this moment was not focused much on these buildings.

At the center of this Gongdian stands a creature whose appearance closely resembles a crystal stone monster, but its size is even larger, standing nearly thirty meters tall.

The crystal on its body looks even heavier; at a glance one can see it possesses astonishing defensive power.

The claws on its hands are obviously sharper; even from a distance, looking at them makes one's eyes sting.

It is obvious that these two claws contain some special power, giving this pair of claws a special sharpness; even Supernatural Fourth Rank armor would likely be torn apart by them.

And this is the final boss of this relic, a crystal stone giant with Supernatural Fourth Rank combat power.

Roar!

Just like ordinary crystal stone monsters, this crystal stone giant, even upon reaching Supernatural Fourth Rank, still lacks high intelligence.

Upon seeing Su Hao leading over a hundred pale skeleton warriors inside, it awakened from its slumber.

It let out an angry roar, waved its claws, and charged at Su Hao at full speed.

At this point, Su Hao directly felt how sharp the crystal stone giant's claws were.

Even from tens of meters away, the ground's soil and the great hall's walls were sliced by the crystal stone giant's claws, leaving several deep gashes from afar.

One can imagine that if directly struck by the crystal stone giant's claws, the scene would be horrifying; even Supernatural Fourth Rank items would likely be easily torn apart.

However, Su Hao merely had the pale skeleton warriors behind him scatter with their Blazing Pumpkin Heads, while he himself had no intention of dodging.

What's the big deal about being torn apart? Acting like someone would be afraid.

But the sharpness of the crystal stone giant's claws is undeniable; to avoid loss, Su Hao did not take out the Blood-red Magic Book.

If he accidentally had the Blood-red Magic Book cut to pieces, that would be a huge loss.

Without the aid of the Blood-red Magic Book, Su Hao's casting speed noticeably slowed.

His spiritual power had just surged into his soul, and he hadn't yet lit the skill sigil when the crystal stone giant already reached him.

Only the sound of 'pup-pup-pup' kept coming, and Su Hao's body was easily sliced into dozens of pieces by the crystal stone giant's claws, with no resistance at all, even his head and heart cut into several pieces.

If it were anyone else, they would already be dead beyond death at this point.

But Su Hao, being a Crimson Bone Demon, cannot die as long as his soul and blood are not completely destroyed.

Even with his body cut into so many pieces, it did not affect his use of skills; within his soul, as spiritual power continually flowed in, a rune resembling a tentacle gradually glowed with a blood-red light.

The crystal stone giant does not understand any of this; with its limited intelligence, it believes that a person whose body is cut into so many pieces absolutely cannot be alive.

But having said that, even a relatively intelligent living being, upon seeing this scene, would likely think Su Hao is already dead.

After the crystal stone giant chopped Su Hao's body into pieces, it then walked toward the pale skeleton warriors nearby.

Did I let you go?

As Su Hao's physique continually improves, even now, with his body cut into dozens of pieces, he can still make those body parts perform the corresponding actions.

For example, a severed arm still retains free movement of its fingers.

Severed legs retain the ability to walk freely.

A severed head can still speak normally.

Roar?

Hearing that sound from behind, the crystal stone giant instantly froze.

Looking at the ground where the pieces of flesh automatically spliced together, its limited intelligence could not react at all.

This was a scene he had never seen before; he had no idea what was going on.

But soon he reacted: in his view, all intruders must be killed; since this human hadn't died, he would continue killing him!

Unfortunately, during that delay, Su Hao had already fully lit the skill rune for Crimson Tendrils in his mind.

The next moment.

Beside the crystal stone giant, fifty blood-red magic circles about ten meters in diameter appeared, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

Immediately afterward, crimson tendrils five meters in diameter and fifty meters tall grew from the magic circles, lashing out at the crystal stone monster at the center.

Because the Supernatural Fourth Rank Crimson Tendrils are too voluminous, in the past few days when attacking undead creatures, they could no longer serve to entangle or bind.

But this time, the situation is different.

The crystal stone giant's size is equally huge, so the Crimson Tendrils can completely wrap around it, firmly binding it in place.

"Roar!" The crystal stone behemoth, being a Supernatural Fourth Rank, naturally could not just sit and wait for death.

He immediately brandished the sharp claws in his hand, forcefully cutting into the scarlet tentacle's body.

However, the scarlet tentacle's entire body is composed of scarlet essence blood; a pure physical attack can only consume its energy, and there is no way to destroy it.

The scarlet tentacle, just cut by the crystal stone behemoth's claw, immediately reconnected, instantly returning to its original state; no matter how the crystal stone behemoth attacks, it cannot inflict effective damage on the scarlet tentacle.

According to the current situation, if the crystal stone behemoth wants to rely on its claws to cut and completely consume the energy inside the scarlet tentacle, it would likely take at least ten or so minutes.

However, the crystal stone behemoth, being a Supernatural Fourth Rank, naturally would not have only claws as its means of attack.

The crystal stone behemoth, due to its low intelligence, consequently has not-strong mental power.

As the saying goes, loss brings gain; the crystal stone behemoth's mental power is very low, so its physique has become extremely strong, possessing a terrifying brute force.

"Roar!"

The crystal stone behemoth roared angrily, strode forward with effort, tearing at the scarlet tentacles entwined around its body.

Even though the scarlet tentacles are Supernatural Fourth Rank, they cannot withstand this immense force, gradually showing signs of rupture.

If this continues, it won't take long before the crystal stone behemoth can break free from the scarlet tentacles' binding.

But Su Hao is not limited to just summoning fourth-rank scarlet tentacles; how could he possibly just let the crystal stone behemoth escape like that?

"Get down!"

Su Hao took the Divine Light Heavy Axe from his Storage Bag, poured a large amount of mental power into it, and fully activated the gravity field.

That moment.

A dim light emanated from the Divine Light Heavy Axe, instantly enveloping the entire Gongdian.

As Su Hao's thoughts turned, everything within the power field instantly felt its weight increase severalfold.

Originally, the crystal stone behemoth was still struggling to break free from the scarlet tentacles' binding, but with the appearance of the gravity field, let alone continuing to struggle to break free, even swinging its claws and taking a step became extremely difficult; for a moment it could not adapt to the sensation of bearing a mountain.

But still, after all, it is a Supernatural Fourth Rank; no matter what, it cannot become helpless over such a minor thing.

Just give him a little more time, and once he adapts to the weight brought by the gravity field, he will be able to resume action.

Su Hao naturally understands this; from beginning to end, he never hoped that relying solely on the Divine Light Heavy Axe's gravity field and the entanglement of the scarlet tentacles would be enough to defeat this Supernatural Fourth Rank crystal stone behemoth.

The purpose of doing this is merely to buy himself more time.

Su Hao's thoughts shifted slightly, and he took the Blood-Colored Magic Book from his Storage Bag.

Now that the crystal stone behemoth is bound by the scarlet tentacles and the gravity field, there is naturally no need to worry about the Blood-Colored Magic Book being destroyed.

In order to quickly deal with the crystal stone behemoth, Su Hao naturally would not give up the Blood-Colored Magic Book, an item that can speed up casting.

As Su Hao's mental power flowed into the Blood-Colored Magic Book, a flame-shaped rune appeared on one of its blank pages.

"Bloodthirsty Soul Fire!"

Immediately after.

On those fifty scarlet tentacles, a pale flame appeared one after another.

At first, this flame was only the size of a human head, but as the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire absorbed the scarlet essence blood on the tentacles, its size began to expand at a visible speed.

Soon, it had completely enveloped all fifty scarlet tentacles.

The pale flame blazed fiercely; the crystal stone behemoth tightly entwined by the scarlet tentacles was naturally in a dire situation.

As Su Hao had anticipated, the crystal stone behemoth's physical defense is extremely strong; even among supernatural beings across many worlds, it would be top-tier.

However, his mental power is extremely weak, which means his soul strength is not high.

The Bloodthirsty Soul Fire is a flame specifically targeting the soul; under its scorching, the crystal stone behemoth lets out a miserable wail.

The pain from the soul causes the crystal stone behemoth's expression to undergo severe distortion.

He strains to break free from the scarlet tentacles, trying to escape these flames that can directly attack the soul.

However, the sudden increase in weight on his body makes even movement extremely difficult for a moment, let alone breaking free from the scarlet tentacles' binding.

"Seeing you in such pain, I'll see it through to the end and finally give you a ride."

Su Hao gave a faint smile, tossed the Divine Light Heavy Axe upward, and summoned a pale bone claw to catch it.

At the same time, his right hand made a grasping motion; as a dim light flashed, a Death Scythe appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

Immediately afterward, Su Hao strode forward, came before the crystal stone behemoth, raised the Death Scythe in his hand, and struck its head blow after blow.

The Death Scythe is a Fifth-Rank supernatural item, moreover imbued with the divine power of death and the night god.

Although the Death Scythe comes with its own seal, as Su Hao's strength increases, the power it can unleash also grows stronger.

Even though the crystal stone behemoth is a Supernatural Fourth Rank monster, under the combined assault of the Bloodthirsty Soul Fire and the Death Scythe, its struggling force has visibly diminished in just a short while.

After a while longer, his eyes grew dim and lifeless; ultimately, because his soul was completely shattered, he collapsed to the ground and breathed no more.

A Supernatural Fourth Rank monster was thus easily dealt with by Su Hao.

"Am I not dreaming…?"

Tie Gēdiā stood outside the Gongdian, looking through the damaged gate at this scene, his whole person stunned.

He once suspected it was his own hallucination; finally, with a slap, he struck himself hard, his cheeks swelling and reddening.

"This isn't a dream, is it real?"

"How could this be possible? It's only been a little over a month since I last saw Boss Su Hao, and he's gone from a Supernatural Second Rank to a Supernatural Fourth Rank?"

To be honest, Tie Gēdiā would rather believe he was hallucinating than accept this fact; it completely exceeds his comprehension…

Inside the Gongdian.

Su Hao paid no attention to Tie Gēdiā and the others' reactions; after killing the crystal stone behemoth, he used the Item Refining Technique to wrap the behemoth's corpse, the scarlet tentacles, and the pale bone claw inside, beginning to refine the supernatural items within.

Given his current strength, even if he exposed the Item Refining Technique, it would cause him no trouble; naturally there is no need to hide it.

While refining, Su Hao pushed open the stone door directly opposite the main gate.
