After Shifeng clicked on the system interface, the Abyssal Blade in Shifeng's hand transformed into a cloud of black mist that devoured the Mana Crystals.
In God's Domain, Mana Crystals were only second to Seven Luminaries Crystals in terms of energy purity. Every Mana Crystal contained enough Mana to flatten a town. When the Abyssal Blade absorbed all 100 Mana Crystals, the frightening energy pulsating from the crystals caused space to tremble. A Dragon's roar also echoed throughout the island. It felt as if space would explode at any moment, and a gigantic Dragon would charge out of it.
"A Backlash?" Shifeng's complexion turned ugly.
Magic Weapons were different from ordinary weapons and equipment. Every time a weapon or equipment was upgraded, there was a chance that a Magic Weapon would receive a Backlash. Moreover, the Backlash would grow stronger with each upgrade. If Shi Feng failed to suppress the Backlash, he would become a cripple.
Originally, he had thought that, with his current strength, he would have a 90% chance of surviving the second Backlash. However, based on the current fluctuations, he only had a 50% to 60% chance of surviving the second Backlash.
Fortunately, the fluctuations only lasted for a brief moment.
After three short seconds, everything returned to normal. In the next moment, a pitch-black sword with dragon patterns engraved on its blade silently appeared before Shifeng.
The instant the sword appeared, Shifeng felt a powerful Dragon's might press down on him, even though he was still five yards away from the Abyssal Blade. Shifeng felt his body grow heavy, and even the ground beneath his feet sank.

However, after Jack's modification and the addition of a Star Crystal, the strength of the Backlash has been greatly reduced. If the wielder fails to suppress the Backlash, the wielder will receive the Black Dragon King's curse, permanently reducing all Attributes by 50%. Cannot be dropped. Cannot be traded. Cannot be destroyed.
"So strong!" The Shifeng was stunned when he saw the Abyssal Blade's evolution.
The Abyssal Blade's Attributes and Attack Power might not be as high as the Level 100 Sacred Swords, Killing Ray, and Twilight Blade, but at Level 80, its Attributes could already rival two Level 85 top-tier Epic Weapons. Moreover, the Abyssal Blade's greatest improvement wasn't its Attributes.
The Abyssal Blade's Tier 3 Skills were significantly more powerful than when it had been at Tier 2. It was definitely a weapon of mass destruction. Even Fragmented Legendary items paled in comparison.
If he could evolve the Abyssal Blade again, he simply couldn't imagine how powerful it would be.
Of course, evolving the Abyssal Blade again would be much more difficult. Previously, the Abyssal Blade had only required Mana Crystals to evolve, but now, it needed Shenjing Crystals. Moreover, it needed five Shenjing Crystals. Obtaining a single Shenjing Crystal was even more difficult than finding an Epic Weapon. One could easily imagine how difficult it would be to collect five Shenjing Crystals.
Following which, Shifeng unequipped Killing Ray and replaced it with the Abyssal Blade.
So, this is the power of an evolution? The Shifeng was stunned when he saw the Abyssal Blade equipped.
Although the Abyssal Blade's Attack Power and Attributes had decreased slightly, it felt as if the weapon had become a part of him. With a light swing, he could easily slice through the air, creating a shockwave that extended several meters away. The Abyssal Blade's sharpness was practically that of a divine weapon. It would be more than enough to pierce through the scales of a Level 100 Great Lord. Moreover, his physique had also improved significantly.
After familiarizing himself with the Abyssal Blade, Shifeng shifted his focus to the tombs in the inner region.
His Promotion Quest's goal was to find a Legacy. Needless to say, the Legacy was hidden in these tombs. As long as he could open the tombs, he could obtain the Legacy.
The only problem was the countless Lord ranked Undead and the Heroic Spirits that guarded the tombs.
Previously, he had been helpless against the countless Undead, but now that he had the Abyssal Blade, blocking the Undead wouldn't be a problem. Now, he just needed to distract the Heroic Spirits and open the tombs.
However, since Shifeng didn't know which tombs he was looking for, he didn't intend to take too much risk. Instead, he chose the closest and smallest tomb and charged towards it.
The instant Shifeng entered the forest, the Undead roaming around the tombs sensed his aura. Immediately, several dozen Undead pounced on him.
Although these Undead weren't very intelligent, even a peak expert would have no choice but to flee if several dozen of them swarmed him.
"Go!"
Seeing the approaching Undead, Shifeng immediately used Nine Dragons Slash.
Like 21 experts, the 21 Abyssal Blade phantoms opened a path for Shifeng.
Although each Abyssal Blade phantoms only had 90% of their Strength, Shifeng's Basic Attributes were not the slightest bit inferior to Level 100, Tier 3 players. With 90% of their Strength, they could easily crush the Lord ranked Undead.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng repelled the several dozen Undead that had charged at him. He then effortlessly arrived before a small grave.
"This is the resting place of the dead! It is not a place for you living beings to enter!" A Tier 3 Heroic Spirit said. Seeing the approaching Shifeng, it immediately thrust its spear at the Shifeng.
[Forgotten Heroic Spirit] (Undead, Tier 3 Berserker King) Level 101 HP 54,000,000/54,000,000
Although this Heroic Spirit did not have a lot of HP, it had executed an Advanced Combat Technique with a simple thrust. Spear images merged into a single line, making it impossible to detect the spear's existence. Moreover, the Heroic Spirit's power was definitely at the peak of Tier 3. It would have no trouble repelling a Tier 3 Grand Lord of the same level.
If a Tier 3 player were struck by this attack, they'd be finished on the spot.
Shifeng was not confident in going up against a Level 100, Tier 3 Heroic Spirit. However, he had no intention of fighting the Heroic Spirit. Immediately, he used Phantom Kill and had his doppelganger use Defensive Blade to block the Heroic Spirit's attack. He then stealthily approached the tomb.
When Shifeng clicked on the tomb, a notification popped up before him.
System: Do you wish to activate the tomb and absorb a portion of the tomb owner's Legacy?
Shifeng was overjoyed when he saw this notification. He immediately chose to activate the tomb.
The instant the graveyard activated, a channeling bar appeared before Shi Feng's eyes. Eight seconds were required to absorb the Legacy. Meanwhile, the Heroic Spirits guarding the graveyard flew into a rage. Ignoring Shi Feng's doppelganger, the Heroic Spirits charged at Shi Feng.
Sure enough, it won't be that easy.
Shifeng dared not hold back when he saw the Heroic Spirit charging at him. He immediately had his doppelganger use the Legacy Berserk Skill, Blade Liberation, and focused on controlling the doppelganger to attack the Heroic Spirit.
Lightning Flash!
One sword light after another flew at the Heroic Spirit. However, the Heroic Spirit showed no fear as it spun its spear and met the attacks head-on.
Peng … Peng … Peng …
The crisp sound of metal clashing filled the air as the Heroic Spirit blocked all of the sword lights. In contrast, Shi Feng's doppelganger was forced to take a step back from the impact.
Although Shifeng's doppelganger was no match for the Heroic Spirit, he had no intention of defeating it. He only needed to stall the Heroic Spirit for eight seconds.
Finally, after sacrificing his doppelganger, Shifeng absorbed a portion of the tomb owner's Legacy. Suddenly, a new Legacy Completion Rate appeared in his quest window.
System: Legacy Completion Rate 15%. Do you wish to accept the Legacy?
So, that's how it is. Shifeng immediately understood when he saw the system notification.
These tombs contained the Legacies he had obtained from completing his Tier 3 Promotion Quest. However, each tomb had a different Legacy Completion Rate. It all depended on which Tier 3 Legacy players chose.
Following which, Shifeng gave up on obtaining the Legacy and fled through the magic barrier.
As soon as Shifeng left the magic barrier, the Undead and Heroic Spirits that had been chasing him gave up and returned to their original positions.
After his first attempt, Shifeng set his sights on the better tombs in the inner area.
However, the grander the tombs, the stronger the Heroic Spirits guarding them. Among them, a Level 100, Tier 4 Heroic Spirit stood guard in front of the tallest, temple-like tomb in the center of the inner area. The Heroic Spirit stood guard like a Demon God.
The tombs one level below the Heroic Spirit's were also guarded by Tier 3 titled Heroic Spirits.
Heroic Spirits were Heroes that had died. To obtain a title after death, these Heroic Spirits had been kings among Heroes when they had been alive. Killing apex players of the same tier was no different from squashing ants for these Heroic Spirits. They might not be as strong as they had been after death, but killing apex players of the same tier was still a piece of cake for them.
I have no choice but to give it a try. Shifeng gritted his teeth as he looked at the Heroic Spirit wielding a greatsword.
He had no hope of obtaining the highest-ranking tombs. After all, the difference between Tier 3 and Tier 4 was simply too massive. He'd die instantly if he encountered the Heroic Spirit. However, he wasn't willing to give up on the third-floor tombs. After all, the Tier 3 Promotion Quest's rewards would differ greatly depending on the Completion Rate. Hence, he had to fight for the second-floor tombs.
