In order to increase the potential of the Abyssal Blade, Shifeng had always wanted to collect ten Level 15 Fine-Gold Weapons. Hence, he had deliberately not leveled up the Abyssal Blade, allowing it to remain at Level 10.
However, he could not care so much right now.
In the next moment, the Abyssal Blade in Shifeng's hands emitted a black fog. The fog then rushed towards the weapon that Xiang Shifeng was about to sacrifice.
In less than three seconds, even the incomparably tough Dark-Gold ranked Demoncutter turned into a cloud of black fog and was absorbed by the Abyssal Blade.
After devouring the sacrificed weapon, the Abyssal Blade was no longer pitch-black. Golden divine runes, which had never been seen before, appeared on the blade, giving off a faint golden glow. Meanwhile, the blade had also turned silvery-gray.
Shifeng simply waved the Abyssal Blade. As the blade sliced through the air, it was as if the air was a transparent piece of paper.
"So sharp!" Shifeng exclaimed as he looked at the Abyssal Blade in his hands.
With such sharpness, in addition to his Basic Destruction Power, even if he did not activate the Ice-Blue Devil Flame's destructive power, most likely, even Mysterious-Iron Weapons and Equipment would not be able to withstand his attack. Only Secret-Silver Weapons and Equipment would be able to withstand his attack for a period of time.

It was personally forged by the famous smith Olysses using the fangs of the Black Dragon King as material. It was one of the 36 Famed Swords in the Divine Domain and was ranked 31st. However, this sword was cursed by the Black Dragon King. Other than giving the wielder astonishing strength, it would also backfire on the wielder after a period of time. However, it was modified by Jack. The addition of the Star Illumination Stone greatly reduced the strength of the backlash. If he couldn't suppress the backlash, The Black Dragon King will curse the wielder, permanently reducing all Attributes by 50%. Cannot be dropped, traded, or destroyed.
"As expected of a Magic Weapon. Even without sacrificing ten Fine-Gold Weapons and one Dark-Gold Weapon, its Attack Power is already higher than that of a Dark-Gold Weapon. Its Attack Power is already comparable to a two-handed Dark-Gold greatsword," Shifeng said, smiling in satisfaction.
The Level 15 Dark-Gold ranked Demonbane only had 183 Attack Power. On the other hand, the Abyssal Blade had 211 Attack Power. It was much stronger than the Demon Slayer. Not to mention, its other Attributes and Skills had also improved.
However, compared to the Level 20 Dark-Gold ranked one-handed sword, Purgatory's Shadow, there was still a large gap.
[Purgatory's Shadow] [One-handed Sword] (Dark-Gold Rank) (Can be upgraded twice) Level 20 Equipment Level 20
Attack Power + 273
Strength + 30, Agility + 25, Endurance + 22 Attack Speed + 2 Durability has a chance to cause 300% damage. 10% chance to reduce damage dealt by target by 20% for 30 seconds. Cannot be stacked.
Additional Skill- Purgatory Power: Increases Attack Speed by 100% and damage by 30% for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes
However, this could not be helped. Level 20 weapons and equipment were a lot stronger than Level 15 weapons and equipment.
Level 20 was the level at which players could get promoted to a Tier 1 class. Hence, Level 20 weapons and equipment would receive a significant boost.
"My Attack Power has increased by quite a bit. However, it is still far from enough to kill the sixth wave of monsters."
Shifeng knew that Attack Power was not the only factor that increased a player's combat power. An increase in Attack Power only represented a massive increase in damage output. Meanwhile, combat power was a comprehensive display of data. Strength, Agility, Endurance, and other Attributes, as well as Skills, were all important indicators to increase a player's combat power.
Even if a player's Attack Power increased by three or four times, a monster's HP was more than ten times that of a player's. If a player could not dodge a monster's attacks, they would die in a matter of seconds. Hence, an increase in Attack Power would not increase a player's combat power by much.
A player's strength was like a wooden bucket filled with water. Rather than looking at a player's strengths, it depended on their weaknesses.
Hence, Shifeng called up his system interface. As Ucarus had already opened the War God's Temple's exchange system for him, Shifeng could directly exchange for items in the system. Shifeng used his 1,500 Merit Points to exchange for a Level 20 Dark-Gold Weapon. He also took out ten Level 20 Mysterious-Iron Weapons from his bag.
There were plenty of Mysterious-Iron Weapons in the Guild's Warehouse. Over the past few days, Shifeng and Shiuse Qiangwei had been in the Lost Lands. Meanwhile, Hei Zi and the others had not been idle. They had been raiding Level 20 5-man Dungeons, grinding for materials and equipment as they prepared for the Guild's expedition into Level 20 100-man Dungeons. While doing so, they had obtained plenty of Level 20 weapons and equipment. One could say that within the entire White River City, Ling YI Society had the most Level 20 weapons and equipment.
Hence, Shifeng had chosen a few Level 20 Mysterious-Iron Weapons with mediocre Attributes as backups. He had never imagined that he would have to use them now.
Following which, Shifeng chose to continue leveling up the Abyssal Blade.
Level 20 was a relatively large threshold. Just like when the Abyssal Blade had reached Level 10, there would be a significant improvement. Whether or not a player could clear the next trial would depend on the Level 20 Abyssal Blade.
However, the devouring this time was clearly different from when the Abyssal Blade had reached Level 15.
After devouring the sacrificial offering, the Abyssal Blade shattered, releasing a dragon's roar. Along with the trembling of the heavens and earth, the Abyssal Blade broke free from Shifeng's grip and floated into the air.
With a boom, the Abyssal Blade thoroughly exploded, transforming into a black tornado that silenced everything.
After the black tornado dissipated, a gigantic figure emerged. It was none other than the Black Dragon King's phantom that Shifeng had seen before. However, compared to the first time he had seen the phantom, this phantom was much clearer. Moreover, the destructive aura it exuded was much more intense. Even when facing the various big shots on the Eternal Throne, Shifeng had not been so terrified.
Of course, the main reason for his fear was that these big shots had not released their auras.
At this moment, the Black Dragon King's phantom, which was several hundred meters tall, actually looked at Shifeng, revealing a human-like sneer. Following which, the phantom dissipated and transformed back into the Abyssal Blade. The Abyssal Blade then landed before Shifeng, sinking deep into the sand. Only the hilt of the Abyssal Blade was exposed.
After resting for a moment, Shifeng extended his arm and pulled out the Abyssal Blade.
At this moment, the Abyssal Blade's appearance had undergone a drastic change. The entire sword had turned silvery-gray, and it emitted a faint black aura of death. It was filled with a demonic nature. Black dragon patterns occasionally appeared on the blade of the sword, while a coiling dragon was engraved on the sword's hilt. There were also thin pitch-black chains wrapped around the sword's hilt, as if they were some kind of seal.
"Did I do something I shouldn't have?" Shifeng could not help but smile bitterly as he looked at the lifelike dragon engraving on the sword's hilt.
Shifeng increasingly felt that the Abyssal Blade's leveling up was the same as what the legendary character, Faust, had said.
