Inside the Eternal Throne, the various NPCs present had seen the situation inside the Twelve Trials.

They were all shocked by Shifeng's ability to control a Magic Weapon.
"What an amazing little fellow. He isn't even a Tier 1 Swordsman, yet he can control a Magic Weapon. Moreover, he can control it to such an extent."
"The controller of a Magic Weapon and the controller of a Mysterious Flame. Moreover, his control over his body has clearly reached the entry level. He has truly surprised us again and again."
"That's right. Ignoring the Magic Weapon and Mysterious Flame, his control over his body has reached such a standard. Even many Tier 3 classes can't reach such a standard. It seems he won't have any problems clearing the sixth trial. With such great potential, if he had come a little later, he might have cleared the seventh trial. What a pity."
The entry level of control the NPC NPCs mentioned only allowed one to display 50% of one's combat power. What these NPCs did not know was that Shifeng had been a Tier 3 Sword King in the past. He could display 80% of his combat power. If not for his poor physique and poor equipment, Shifeng would've long since become a Tier 4 Sword Emperor.
"However, this can't be helped. Who would've thought that the Endless Abyss would be broken so quickly?"
"It's useless even if it's a pity. Us old fellows should prepare ourselves. Otherwise, our old bones will break from exhaustion."
The various NPCs seated on the silver thrones acknowledged Shifeng's potential. However, none of them held much hope of clearing the seventh trial. After all, it had been over a thousand years since anyone had cleared the seventh trial.
In the Twelve Trials, Shifeng had entered a lava cave. It was somewhat similar to the Flame God's Cave. However, the fire-type Mana here was much purer and denser. Boiling lava flowed around Shifeng. The temperature of the ground was enough to cook a person. If not for Shifeng's 20 points of Fire Resistance, which granted him immunity to such temperatures, ordinary players would've been half-dead before they even started the battle.
Before Shifeng could finish inspecting the terrain, a massive, flaming serpent over 20 meters long emerged from the lava.
Balrog Serpent. [Special Elite] Level 20 HP 150,000/150,000
Even if the Shifeng did not know how powerful the Balrog Serpent was, the Shifeng knew that the serpent had a very high resistance to fire-type attacks.
"I'll use you to test my new weapon."
Shifeng smiled. Shi Feng unsheathed the Abyssal Blade and Purgatory's Shadow from his waist. However, he did not rush forward directly. That was something that only an ordinary person would do. Experts would first understand their opponents before making a move. Thus, Shifeng stood where he was and quietly observed the Balrog Serpent's every move, familiarizing himself with its movements.
However, the Balrog Serpent was no fool. It was clearly stronger than the Shifeng by a large margin. It also had plenty of HP. Hence, it would not give the Shifeng any time to study it. Opening its jaws, the Balrog Serpent sent fireballs flying at Xiang Shifeng.
Shifeng moved his feet, leaving behind an afterimage as he easily dodged the fireballs.
However, the Balrog Serpent did not stop there. It continued to spit fireballs at the Shifeng.
Three to five people at once wouldn't do. The Balrog Serpent only sent out a dozen or so fireballs.
Not only could these fireballs damage the enemy, but they could also prevent the enemy from getting close to it. With such an attack mode that could both attack and defend, an ordinary player would most likely die from the dozen or so fireballs. However, Shifeng was different. Instead of retreating, he advanced forward. He did not appear to be in a sorry state at all. On the contrary, he looked as if he was dancing in the flames, relaxed and joyful.
However, when Shifeng was 20 yards away from the Balrog Serpent, simply dodging and advancing was no longer possible.
I've grasped the timing of my attacks. Now, let's see how powerful my new weapon is. Shifeng inwardly smiled as he watched the Balrog Serpent continuously spit fireballs at him.
In the next moment, Shifeng activated the Ice-Blue Devil Flame, the dark-blue flames enveloping his entire body. Using Silent Steps, he appeared behind the Balrog Serpent's head.
First, Shi Feng swung his sword. His attack caused -372 damage.
"What a strong Defense!" Shifeng could not believe his eyes as he looked at the damage he caused.
The Abyssal Blade's Attack Power was already at 302. With the support of his Strength, his Attack Power reached over 700. Moreover, he had also activated the Ice-Blue Devil Flame Mode, increasing his damage by 20%. Yet, he had only caused -372 damage to the Balrog Serpent. The Balrog Serpent's Defense was already comparable to a Lord ranked monster with high Defense.
If he had not upgraded the Abyssal Blade to Level 20 and wielded the top-tier Dark-Gold ranked One-handed Sword, Purgatory's Shadow, Shifeng would be lucky to cause -150 damage to the Balrog Serpent.
At this moment, Shifeng rejoiced that he had not been in a hurry to enter the sixth trial. Otherwise, his chances of winning would be less than 20%.
However, this thought only lasted for an instant. Shifeng's attacks did not stop.
Using Thundering Flash, three arcs of blue electricity entered the flames, piercing through the Balrog Serpent's flaming body, causing -554, -1,528, and -1,125 damage. The damage dealt was much higher than before. At the same time, Shi Feng also inflicted a Damage Amplification effect that lasted for 20 seconds.
Following which, Shi Feng used Chop, causing nearly -2,000 damage to the Balrog Serpent.
When Shifeng landed on the ground, he sent several consecutive slashes at the Balrog Serpent. The Abyssal Blade now had a 40% critical hit rate, so Shi Feng could be said to have dealt consecutive critical hits. Immediately, the Balrog Serpent's over 7,000 HP disappeared. However, against the Balrog Serpent's 150,000 HP, Shi Feng would need at least twenty more attacks to kill it.
Originally, Shifeng was quite happy. Even without Black Emperor, he had a high chance of killing the Balrog Serpent. However, Shifeng quickly discovered that the Balrog Serpent's HP recovery speed was extremely powerful. The Balrog Serpent could actually recover 500 HP every second. The Balrog Serpent's damage was equivalent to one of his normal attacks. In less than 20 seconds, the Balrog Serpent would be back to full HP.
Moreover, by the time the Balrog Serpent reacted, its tail had already lashed at Shi Feng.
Hurriedly, Shifeng used Parry, blocking the Balrog Serpent's tail. Although he did not receive any damage, the Balrog Serpent was forced to retreat by three steps, both of his hands slightly numb. In terms of destructive power, the Balrog Serpent was even more powerful than the Chimera. Moreover, the Balrog Serpent's speed was also much faster.
However, Parry had a Cooldown of 30 seconds. Even though Parry was already at Level 7, it still had a Cooldown of 21 seconds.
In addition, Shifeng also had the offensive and lifesaving skill, Defensive Blade. Even though Defensive Blade was already at Level 6, it still had a Cooldown of two minutes. However, Defensive Blade could block four melee attacks and eight ranged attacks. Moreover, it would not receive any impact effects. It was much more useful than Parry.
Seeing over a dozen fireballs flying at him, Shifeng leaped into the air, dodging the fireballs. Immediately after, the Balrog Serpent's tail lashed at him.
Not showing any weakness, Shifeng used Level 7 Thunder Flame Explosion to bombard the Balrog Serpent.
