Is there a way, without creating a new record type, to hide a picklist value (not entire field) if another picklist value is selected?

As the requirement below are some of the step which need to perform for hide picklist value based on another picklist value selected.

1. Go to setup
2. Click on Object Manager 
3. Go to the Object you that contains the picklist you want to configure.
4. Open the parent picklist field for editing or create a new picklist field if one doesn't exist already.
5. Go down to the Picklist value section.
6. Add or select the desired parent picklist values.
7. Save the changes to the parent picklist field.
8. Create or edit the child picklist field that you want to hide based on the parent picklist value.
9. Go down to the "Picklist Values" section of the child picklist field.
10. Select or Add the desired child picklist values.
11. For each child picklist value that should hidden based on the parent picklist value, click the Inactive checkbox next to the value.

@subrat the discussion or advice is to use code / create a visualforce page, which won't work for the situation.

@Arun Kumar 1141 the two picklists Im referring to are already created on the custom object. how is a picklist specified as parent, or child?
