# Chapter 53: Blood Armor
Night fell quietly outside the window. Inside the mansion's banquet hall, Su Xiao, White Bull, Nilin, and Beini sat around the dining table.
Nilin, her wavy hair tied up, was currently sitting cross-legged on a wooden chair. Her lazy posture had nothing to do with ladylike manners or dining etiquette.
Nilin was very unhappy right now. She could only watch as her brother White Bull, along with Su Xiao and Beini across the table, enjoyed their dinner. Especially since several of today's dishes were her favorites.
"Eating is the most meaningless thing. Drinking nutrient-saturated liquid can meet daily needs. It takes just a few seconds to drink and saves time. Time is life, so eating is wasting life."
Nilin spoke. Hearing this, Beini poked her head out, bit onto a straw, and sucked some juice. Her little expression seemed to say, "Big sister speaks the truth."
"Don't talk while eating."
Su Xiao set down his soup bowl and picked up the roasted sand lamb chop beside him.
"Tch."
Nilin dropped her utensils. She didn't love money, didn't love power, and had zero interest in romance. Aside from her passion for researching how to make herself stronger, her second greatest hobby was eating. She had even traveled across the Void to taste various cuisines.
If someone stole Nilin's money or treasures, she wouldn't be the least bit angry. In fact, if it was just property, she sometimes couldn't be bothered to deal with the thieves. But if someone disturbed her while she was enjoying a meal, or picked a fight that ruined her dining mood, she would be terrifyingly cruel.
After the meal, the servants White Bull brought cleared the table. Only then did Nilin, sitting there with her arms crossed, feel a bit better.
Su Xiao set down his teacup, picked up the alloy case beside his chair, and took out the testing equipment inside. He gestured for Nilin to place her right arm flat on the table, then fixed several needles and suction devices onto her arm, beginning to examine her general condition.
The more he examined, the deeper Su Xiao's frown became. Seeing this, White Bull across the table also furrowed his brow.
"Doctor, is it a terminal illness?"
Nilin spoke. White Bull shot her a glare, telling her to shut up.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't respond. In truth, what is conventionally considered a terminal illness wasn't nearly as serious as Nilin's problem.
After detailed examination and sensing, Su Xiao discovered that Nilin's internal organs were like wood riddled with termites. If not for precious medicines sustaining her life, her powerful constitution, and her iron-willed determination, she wouldn't have lasted this long.
The injuries caused by the Abyss Dragon were like a spreading disease. This wasn't just a matter of worsening wounds; it could assimilate cells, turning normal cells into "damaged cells."
These "damaged cells" had assimilation and division characteristics, even harder to fight than cancer cells. This wasn't a pathological change but an essential assimilation and transformation. When all of the injured person's cells were assimilated into "damaged cells," even if they didn't die, they would be in constant torment.
Currently, ninety percent of Nilin's body cells had become "damaged cells." The constant, agonizing pain prevented her from sleeping or thinking calmly. That she only became irritable was due to her strong self-control. Anyone else would have long been hysterical, taking out their anger on everything around them.
White Bull was also injured by the Abyss Dragon, but his was a different case. His physique was astonishingly powerful. Unfortunately, the Abyss Dragon's dark blood had eroded his heart and power source, which was even more troublesome than the "damaged cells."
With Su Xiao's current alchemy expertise, he couldn't handle White Bull's problem. Whether he could in the future, he himself didn't know.
However, Nilin's injuries were something Su Xiao could treat. Although the "damaged cells" were tricky, with the right method, they could be cured.
After the examination, Su Xiao felt suspicious. If it was only this degree, with White Bull's influence, he should have been able to find a renowned doctor to cure this problem.
"Were your old injuries treated before?"
As Su Xiao spoke, he pulled out a probe that had been inserted into Nilin's bone marrow. Across from him, Nilin didn't even frown. She calmly said:
"Treated a dozen times? Or more?"
As she spoke, Nilin tilted her head to look at White Bull.
"Temporarily cured 17 times, but it always relapsed soon after."
White Bull exhaled a large cloud of smoke, then stubbed out the oversized cigar. If Baha were here and saw that cigar, he'd definitely have a few words to say.
Su Xiao removed all the testing equipment fixed to Nilin's right arm. He now understood why, despite all the famous doctors and big shots in the Void, Nilin's old injuries couldn't be cured.
The damage caused by the Abyss Dragon didn't just produce "damaged cells." This injury had three layers, corresponding to the body, the soul, and nightmares.
The treatments Nilin had received before were all for the body and soul, with the soul injuries being particularly difficult to treat.
The problem was that while these famous doctors had unparalleled medical skills, each had their specialty. They didn't understand what nightmares truly were.
Su Xiao had known for a long time that nightmares were never illusory. Especially after going to the World of Paintings, where nightmares and reality were almost connected, often separated by just a door.
Nilin's current situation was that her physical body, soul body, and the spiritual body within her nightmares all had old injuries. If any one of these three aspects wasn't cured, the damage would map to the other two over time.
Su Xiao briefly explained the situation. Nilin listened with fascination: "Nightmares? I never have nightmares."
"It's not dreams. It's nightmares."
"Is there a difference?"
"..."
Su Xiao was silent for a few seconds. Then he realized that he was currently in the disguise of Holy Flame Alchemist. Although White Bull knew his true identity, using this opportunity to talk with Nilin and practice the Holy Flame Alchemist's way of communicating with others was a good idea. This way, when he arrived at Arcane Eternal Star tomorrow, he wouldn't have problems with his speech.
First, the Holy Flame Alchemist should have the tone of an alchemist pursuing the truth of all things, along with refined and gentle language.
Thinking this, Su Xiao prepared his state and said:
"Whether in alchemy or spiritual sensory science, dreams and nightmares are very different. However, given your knowledge reserve, it's hard to explain the specific structure of nightmares to you."
"Are you calling me stupid?"
"Not at all. I'm just commenting on your knowledge reserve. 'Stupid' is a personal insult, while knowledge reserve is a difference."
"Hiss~ So you mean I'm not stupid, just uneducated?"
"From the perspective of alchemy talent, you could be considered..."
At this point, Su Xiao glanced at Nilin and shook his head. This made Nilin clench her fist under the table. She was furious, but couldn't show it on her face.
After more than ten seconds, Su Xiao asked: "So, how did my negotiation method just now come across?"
Su Xiao wanted to create the Holy Flame Alchemist persona, not as a pushover. An alchemy master wouldn't have that style anyway.
Hearing this, Nilin showed an expression of understanding: "So you don't normally talk like this."
"Mm."
"Then maybe you should temporarily return to your usual tone?"
"..."
"Why aren't you talking?"
"..."
Su Xiao returned to his normal speaking state. Seeing this, Nilin looked at White Bull beside her. White Bull nodded, as if to say: 'Sis, don't be surprised. He's always like this. If there's no need, he won't bother talking to you.'
After the initial diagnosis, Su Xiao's treatment plan was to begin surgery tonight. Nilin's condition looked fine on the surface, but she could collapse at any moment and never open her eyes again.
Considering that they needed to simultaneously treat the old injuries to the body, soul, and spiritual body, and that the treatment cost was extremely high, Su Xiao suggested general anesthesia. Nilin just smiled slightly, saying that pain was nothing new to her. She was long accustomed to it.
An hour later, in the basement's second level of the mansion.
The originally spacious room was now filled with various medical instruments, leaving only an empty space in the middle. With the surgical bed placed there, the overall environment felt cramped.
Su Xiao had changed into surgical scrubs. On the surgical bed beside him, Nilin looked drowsy. This was from the inhibitory drugs injected to prevent her from having a stress response during the surgery and instinctively clawing at Su Xiao.
"If you feel despair, just think that your brother is still waiting outside the door."
"Hah, what are you talking about?"
Nilin laughed. In her view, a simple treatment wouldn't make her feel despair. But in the next moment, she saw Su Xiao pull over a device that looked like a helmet. Inside were countless hair-thin metal tentacles that slowly writhed. Just as she was wondering what this thing was for, this creepy-looking treatment device was already coming down toward her face. Nilin never expected this thing to be put on her head.
Two hours later.
Nilin, lying on the surgical bed with wide eyes, gradually regained some clarity in her gaze: "Is it... over?"
"..."
No one answered Nilin. She struggled to lift her head a little and found that the surroundings were empty. In fact, all the medical instruments around her had disappeared.
Tap, tap, tap.
Footsteps sounded. One "Su Xiao" after another walked over from all directions, surrounding Nilin on the surgical bed. This place was... a nightmare.
...
Nilin's eyes suddenly flew open. She gasped for breath, looking around. Large amounts of light particles drifted in the air, and her own body had become translucent.
"You're awake."
A heavy tone echoed in Nilin's ears. She turned her head to look at the "Su Xiao" standing beside her. The next second, the nightmare doctor "Su Xiao" suddenly lowered his head, his eyes staring at Nilin. The distance between their faces was less than one centimeter.
"He can't save you. Hehehehe..."
The nightmare doctor's entire body radiated blood mist. He opened his blood-filled maw lined with sharp teeth and bit down on Nilin's throat.
Nilin felt cold. A despairing cold without any warmth. But in the next instant, a hand suddenly reached out from the air in front of her, piercing through the nightmare, and grabbed her face.
"ROAR!!!"
The nightmare blood shadow roared. The surrounding nightmare environment shook violently.
"Shut up."
Su Xiao's voice appeared around them. The next second, strands of Spirit Shadow Threads tightened, dragging the nightmare blood shadow back into the depths of the nightmare.
"!"
Nilin on the surgical bed suddenly opened her eyes. Covered in cold sweat, she gasped for breath. She looked at the "Su Xiao" beside her, then relaxed and lay back on the bed.
"Is the treatment over?"
"Mm."
"I just had a nightmare. I dreamed you turned into a nightmare blood shadow."
"Nightmare blood shadow?"
"Yes, a very terrifying thing, like..."
"Like this?"
The nightmare blood shadow grinned. This made Nilin's pupils gradually contract.
"Damn it!"
Nilin couldn't help but curse. The next second, she felt a claw pierce into her abdominal cavity, forcefully ripping out her heart.
"!"
Nilin on the surgical bed suddenly opened her eyes. Covered in cold sweat, she gasped for breath. She looked at the "Su Xiao" beside her and instinctively wanted to punch him, but found she couldn't move. She was anesthetized. Only her neck and above could move.
"I'm anesthetized?"
"Mm. You cried and begged me to anesthetize you."
"Impossible! How could I..."
"Mm? What did you say?"
The nightmare blood shadow grinned. Seeing this, Nilin let out a long breath and chose to ignore it. After all, she couldn't move anyway.
...
In reality, Su Xiao used Spirit Shadow Threads to suture the wound. The treatment process wasn't smooth. The situation in Nilin's nightmare was more complex than imagined. She had endured too much pain, so naturally, the nightmare was more dangerous.
A Spirit Shadow Thread extended from Su Xiao's palm and disappeared into the air. This was his way of interfering with the nightmare.
Time passed minute by minute. Su Xiao suddenly pulled the Spirit Shadow Thread. With a sharp crack, a purple-black smoke spread from all over Nilin's body on the surgical bed.
Su Xiao picked up a crystal container beside him and activated it. All the purple-black smoke was sucked inside.
Almost simultaneously, Nilin's eyes on the surgical bed suddenly opened. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her pupils trembled. She turned her head to look at Su Xiao beside her.
"You... don't... come near me anymore."
Nilin spoke with difficulty.
"Congratulations. You've escaped the nightmare."
Su Xiao looked at the instruments beside him and found that Nilin's life fluctuations were relatively stable.
"I... won't... trust you again."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't respond. He picked up a chair and observed the data changes on the instruments.
"Don't pretend. You've used this trick over 6,000 times."
"..."
Time passed second by second. After more than ten minutes, Nilin turned her head again: "This is the most patient you've ever been."
"..."
Su Xiao still didn't speak. After confirming that Nilin's vital signs were stable, he leaned back in his chair to rest.
When more than an hour had passed, Nilin turned her head once more. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said: "Aren't you going to tear me apart, stuff my soul into your bloody maw, chew it like gum, and then swallow it?"
Hearing this, Su Xiao picked up a timer beside him: "Nightmares also have a concept of time. A replicated nightmare can't last more than 45 minutes. This is the 'Corridor Law,' one of the main laws of nightmares."
"I'm... back?"
"Yes."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Nilin closed her eyes. A single tear flowed from her right eye.
Seeing this, Su Xiao knew the treatment was complete. He left the treatment room and went up to the third floor of the mansion. He didn't see White Bull. He had probably gone to deal with the attackers. News of Nilin receiving treatment was hard to hide from some of White Bull's enemies.
Just as Su Xiao was about to go to the bedroom to rest, White Bull came upstairs and asked: "Smooth?"
"Barely."
"Thank you."
White Bull tossed over a large leather suitcase. Su Xiao caught it and walked into the bedroom. Behind him, Beini closed the door.
Turning on the light, Su Xiao opened the large suitcase and found three translucent blue crystal finger bones inside. These were [Primordial Finger Bones]. He didn't know what methods White Bull had used to find three [Primordial Finger Bones], but it must have cost a great price.
In addition, there were five fist-sized [Overlord Essences]. Adding these to the existing ones, he now had a total of nine [Overlord Essences].
Plus, after advancing to Ninth Rank, he had obtained the authority to exchange for the highest tier of Overlord equipment. As long as he got one more [Overlord Essence], Su Xiao could exchange for a first-tier Overlord equipment.
Putting away the [Primordial Finger Bones] and [Overlord Essences], Su Xiao then took out a translucent fragment from inside.
This fragment was a sharp triangle, about 5 centimeters long. Holding it in his hand gave Su Xiao a feeling of heart-pounding terror. It was as if this was everything, yet also untouchable. In his entire life, this was the first time he had felt this way.
[Primordial Fragment]
Origin: None.
Quality: --
Effect: ???
Rating: --
Description: This is the "Primordial."
...
Su Xiao didn't know what this was. He had seen items with quality ???, but never items with quality --. Moreover, the origin of this thing was "None."
Putting away the [Primordial Fragment], the heart-pounding feeling when he touched it confirmed to Su Xiao that even if he couldn't use it now, he would definitely be able to use it someday. Compared to this thing, the [Primordial Finger Bones] and [Overlord Essences] were probably just extras.
When the first rays of the next morning's sun rose, Su Xiao sat up from the bed. He checked the notifications that had appeared after he fell asleep last night.
First, the Supreme Blade had completed its upgrade, becoming:
[Supreme Blade: X (Active/Passive)]
Skill Effect 1: Your Law-Destroying Blade (Dragon-Slaying Flash) can devour melee weapons of the same quality or one quality higher, thereby increasing the Blade Edge Value. When the Blade Edge Value reaches 100%, the quality of your Law-Destroying Blade will increase.
Tip: The devoured weapon must be a melee weapon with a certain cutting power. The category of the devoured melee weapon cannot differ too greatly from your Law-Destroying Blade.
Skill Effect 2: Your Law-Destroying Blade (Dragon-Slaying Flash) can exceed the upper limit by half a quality.
Tip: This bonus has absolute priority.
Tip: This effect is not activated.
Skill Effect 3: "Blade Demon Spirit" will be awakened in 10 to 15 natural days.
...
Among the three effects, the first one was the most helpful to Su Xiao at this stage. With this bonus, Dragon-Slaying Flash could devour Origin-level long blades.
Skill Effect 2's ability to exceed the upper limit by half a quality was useless for now. But when this ability took effect, it would definitely be one of Su Xiao's strongest abilities.
As for the final "Blade Demon Spirit" awakening, there was no need to worry about it for now. The "Rampage State" blade spirit derived from this ability was used to deal with the indestructible properties of Abyss Spawn.
At this stage, Su Xiao rarely encountered Abyss Spawn, let alone those extremely special individuals among them with indestructible properties.
Speaking of Abyss Spawn, Su Xiao didn't know much about them before. But after going to Dead Silence City, he had a more detailed understanding of both the Abyss and Abyss Spawn. In truth, Abyss Spawn couldn't be judged by good or evil. In the beginning, their tendencies were closer to neutrality.
To be precise, the Abyss was both a concept and a place of nothingness. It was vast beyond measure, yet nothing existed there. An absolute darkness.
This also meant that the Abyss Spawn bred there had no self-awareness or tendencies toward good or evil. They just drifted in that dark nothingness.
One day, within the absolute darkness, where there was no concept of time or matter, a point of light appeared. This light created a "difference" in the absolute darkness. The Abyss Spawn were attracted to it. At the same time, they gradually evolved from spiritual emptiness to having aggressiveness.
Having never seen light, they hated it more than anything. Or rather, they rejected light. So they all surged toward it, wanting to destroy it. This point of light that appeared in the Abyss was actually an Abyss Passage leading to a certain world.
This caused that world, which had the Abyss Passage appear, to be invaded by a large number of Abyss Spawn and Abyss energy. To the natives there, the Abyss Spawn were cruel and vicious, hateful things that had invaded their homeland for no reason.
In reality, the Abyss never actively invaded anywhere. This was an eternal law that had never been broken.
The Abyss and natural elements were like two corresponding "primitives." The Abyss represented negative darkness, erosion, profundity, dampness. Natural elements represented life, light, nature, warmth, growth.
When the two within a world reached a balance imperceptible to living beings, that world would thrive. But when the two began to imbalance, the lesser one would naturally be squeezed, eroded, and finally enveloped by the greater one.
Too much darkness would make all things lose their way, falling into cold shadows. While excessively strong light would blind living beings' eyes, roasting them under cruel radiance.
Darkness couldn't be too thick. Light couldn't be too strong. Extremes lead to reversal. Harmony was the most basic rule of a world's existence.
Despite this, as a Law Destroyer who had also bathed in wolf blood, Su Xiao had recently felt that the Abyss in this era was abnormally powerful. It was too easy for it to erode worlds. In some worlds, the elemental power was only periodically weakening, yet they were already being eroded by the Abyss. This was clearly a manifestation of the Abyss being too strong. Some balance that had been maintained for who knows how many billions of years seemed to have been broken by some unknown event.
Speaking of the Abyss's invasion, Su Xiao remembered the Immortal-rank set that the workshop had "given him" before. He hadn't figured out how to deal with it. Selling it wasn't suitable, and using it himself carried risks.
This Immortal-rank armor set had six pieces in total. Su Xiao took out the main battle armor and manipulated it to float in front of him.
This battle armor, though metallic, didn't have sharp edges. Instead, it had a worn, form-fitting feel. Its surface looked as if it had been burned. Overall black, with a faint blood red showing through. At first glance, it seemed like a combination of metal and biological structure formed this battle armor.
To be precise, that was exactly the case. This was a battle armor made by the workshop from an Abyss Spawn from the Divine Era in the Gloomy Continent.
It was said that the Eternal Life God at his peak had severely wounded this Abyss Spawn, which was then imprisoned under the temple. It wasn't until the late Divine Era that the workshop excavated and took it away, finally forging it into battle armor within the High Wall City.
Calling it forging was more like sealing this still-not-quite-dead Abyss Spawn. But the value of this thing was undeniable.
The workshop maintained its usual style: not wanting to suffer losses, yet not daring to offend Su Xiao. In the end, they decided to offer this most precious but also most tricky treasure to Su Xiao, to prevent him from "visiting" them before leaving the Gloomy Continent.
Su Xiao raised his hand and touched the battle armor in front of him with his index finger. There was no cold metallic feel, but rather a warmth from forging. The semi-living aura of this battle armor was inevitably unsettling.
Su Xiao estimated that the original Abyss Spawn should have been close to the peak combat power of the Eternal Life God. Otherwise, the Divine Cult wouldn't have suppressed this thing under the temple for an entire era.
If this Abyss Spawn was indeed close in strength to the Eternal Life God at his peak, then this battle armor being Immortal-rank could only mean one thing: its minimum level after complete dormancy was Immortal-rank.
It wasn't that Su Xiao was lucky and got this thing as a gift from the sky. It was because he had resolved the root cause of Dead Silence City. In the workshop's view, offering this battle armor to Su Xiao was the best choice. Only Su Xiao, who had conquered deathly stillness, could suppress this battle armor. So it had nothing to do with luck. It was the profit derived from hard power.
This was also why Su Xiao had left this thing in his storage space for so long. He wanted to test whether its activity would decrease after being completely isolated from the outside world.
The answer was obvious. The battle armor's activity had indeed decreased, reaching a level where temporary wear carried no high risk.
This Immortal-rank set had six pieces in total. Besides the battle armor, the other five pieces were accessories. To be precise, the main function of the other pieces wasn't to enhance the battle armor, but to suppress it. The six pieces were:
[Bloodthirsty Battle Armor (Immortal-rank · Battle Armor · Set Core · Semi-Sealed)]
[Sin Will (Immortal-rank · Face Mask)]
[Ancient Will (Immortal-rank · Arm Guard · Left)]

Category: Battle Armor.
Durability: 470/470 points.
Equipment Requirement: Willpower 200 points or above, Abyss Resistance 3 points or above.
Equipment Effect 1: Bloodthirsty (Core · Passive), When equipped, this battle armor will bring a high amount of life absorption effect. After all your melee attacks damage enemies, causing their life force to drain, this life force will be absorbed by this battle armor, filtered and transformed into "Adaptive Life Force" that can restore your HP, thereby achieving a 75% treatment effect from melee attack damage.
Equipment Effect 2: Bloodthirst (Core · Passive), When equipped, as you kill enemies, temporarily increase your Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes.

Warning: When all five Will equipment pieces are completely damaged, this equipment will break free from the first seal and advance to Origin-rank · Battle Armor.
...
[Tip: Due to the particularity of this Immortal-rank set, this set has no set attributes.]
This was the most special set Su Xiao had ever obtained. Not only did it have no set effect, but the six-piece set didn't even mutually enhance each other. The other five pieces were all used to suppress this battle armor.
These five Will equipment pieces increased True Willpower by a total of 127 points. Just from this exaggerated willpower bonus, one could see the risk of using [Bloodthirsty Battle Armor].
[Bloodthirsty Battle Armor] would not only gradually affect the mind, but once put on, it was hard to take off.
Despite this, if worn during group battles, its bonuses would definitely reach astonishing levels. The high bloodthirst effect, the incremental bonuses to Strength, Agility, and Stamina, and the increased fear effect range.
At this stage, Su Xiao would never wear this equipment. The reason he hadn't sold it was because of a hypothesis.
Among the recognized three legendary blacksmiths, the Void's Demon Blacksmith excelled at forging killing weapons, while the Dwarf King of Wind Sea Continent excelled at forging elemental artifacts.
Finally, the Molten Giant of the Ancient Dragon Kingdom excelled at forging battle armor. Moreover, the battle armor he forged was unique.
That kind of battle armor was more like a semi-living thing. Su Xiao's hypothesis was that although wearing [Bloodthirsty Battle Armor] was dangerous, since it was also semi-living, if he could get the Molten Giant to reforge it, could this battle armor become more controllable?
However, compared to finding the whereabouts-unknown Molten Giant, Su Xiao had a more tricky problem right now.
Besides [Bloodthirsty Battle Armor], also known as Blood Armor, he had another Abyss-property equipment called [Dark Walker], which was the Dark Blade short sword.
Even though Su Xiao didn't use these two Abyss-property equipment simultaneously, just having both stored in his storage space, the two had already shown signs of mutual intolerance.
Separating the two wasn't a good strategy; it was actually a bad idea. If these two things couldn't fight each other to the death, they would turn their spearhead toward Su Xiao. Either abandon both, or let them decide the winner. There was no other choice.
Therefore, letting Blood Armor and Dark Blade fight each other to the death was the way. When one devoured the other, things would calm down. Otherwise, holding two Abyss equipment pieces at the same time could cause unknown problems.
As for Blood Armor and Dark Blade devouring each other, Su Xiao wouldn't interfere. But the current situation felt strangely familiar to him.
Su Xiao raised his hand. The next instant, the Primordial Mask appeared in front of him. Seeing the Primordial Mask, he finally understood why the scene of Blood Armor and Dark Blade about to devour each other felt familiar. Was the victor of this also going to head toward the "Daddy-level" artifact direction?
