Shifeng had been trying to collect 10 Fine-Gold ranked weapons of Level 15 to enhance Abyssal Blade's potential, so he deliberately didn't level up, keeping Abyssal Blade at Level 10.
But he couldn't care about that anymore.
Abyssal Blade in Shifeng's hand exuded billowing black mist, directly rushing towards the weapons Shifeng wanted to sacrifice.
In less than three seconds, even the incredibly hard Dark-Gold ranked one-handed sword, Demon Slayer, turned into a cloud of black mist and was absorbed by Abyssal Blade.
After devouring the sacrificed weapons, Abyssal Blade was no longer completely black. Golden divine runes emerged on the blade, shimmering with a faint golden light, and the blade itself turned silver-gray.
Shifeng simply swung Abyssal Blade, and as the blade cut through the air, it was as if a transparent sheet of paper was being sliced.
"So sharp," Shifeng exclaimed, looking at Abyssal Blade in his hand.
So sharp. Coupled with his possession of Initial Destruction, even without using Ice Blue Devil Flame's destructive power, I'm afraid Xuan-Iron ranked weapons and equipment wouldn't be able to withstand it. Only Mithril ranked quality could last for a while.

A famous sword hand-crafted by the master craftsman Olissis using the Black Dragon King's fangs as materials. It is one of the thirty-six famous swords of God's Domain, ranked thirty-first. However, this sword is cursed by the Black Dragon King. In addition to giving the holder amazing power, it will periodically backlash against the holder. However, it was modified by Jack, who added starlight stones, greatly reducing the power of the backlash. If the backlash cannot be suppressed, the holder will be cursed by the Black Dragon King, permanently reducing all attributes by 50%. It also cannot be dropped, traded, or destroyed.
"As expected of a demonic weapon. Even without sacrificing ten Fine-Gold ranked weapons and a Dark-Gold ranked weapon, the added attack power alone is higher than that of a Dark-Gold ranked weapon, almost comparable to the attack power of a two-handed Dark-Gold greatsword," Shifeng said with a satisfied smile.
The Level 15 Dark-Gold ranked Demon Slayer only had 183 attack power, while Abyssal Blade had 211 attack power, which was much stronger than Demon Slayer, not to mention the other attributes and skills that had also been improved.
But there was still a considerable gap compared to the Level 20 top-quality Dark-Gold one-handed sword, Shadow of Purgatory.
Shadow of Purgatory, One-Handed Sword, Dark-Gold Rank (Upgradeable twice), Equipment Level 20.
Attack +273.
Strength +30, Agility +25, Endurance +22, Attack Speed +2, Durability 110/110.
20% chance to deal 3x damage, 10% chance to reduce the target's damage by 20%, lasting 30 seconds, not stackable.
Attached Skill Purgatory Power: Increases attack speed by 100% and damage by 30%, lasting 15 seconds, cooldown 2 minutes.
But there was no way around it. Level 20 weapons and equipment were a big step up from Level 15 weapons and equipment.
Level 20 was the level at which players could advance to Tier 1 classes, so Level 20 weapons and equipment would have a significant boost.
"Attack power has increased a lot, but I'm afraid it's still not enough to take down the monsters in the sixth round."
Shifeng knew that the improvement in combat power didn't just depend on attack power. Increased attack power only meant that the output had a huge improvement, while combat power was a comprehensive data manifestation, such as strength, agility, endurance and other attributes, as well as skills and so on, were all important indicators for improving combat power.
Even if the attack power increased three or four times, the monsters' health was more than ten times that of the players. If you couldn't dodge the monsters' attacks, it would only take a few hits, so increasing attack power couldn't increase combat power too much.
How strong a player is, is like a bucket for holding water. It doesn't depend on the longest plank, but on the shortest plank.
So Shifeng opened the system bar. Because Ukarus had already opened the War God Temple's exchange system for him, Shifeng could directly exchange in the system. Shifeng used the obtained 1500 merit points to exchange for a Level 20 Dark-Gold weapon, and then took out 10 Level 20 Xuan-Iron weapons from his backpack.
There were many Xuan-Iron ranked weapons in the guild warehouse. In the past few days, Shifeng and Aqua Rose had been in the Lost Land, while Blackie and the others hadn't been idle. They had been running Level 20 five-man dungeons to level up and farm materials and equipment, preparing the guild to advance into the Level 20 hundred-man dungeon. Among them, they had obtained a lot of Level 20 weapons and equipment. It could be said that in the entire White River City, Zero Wing Guild had the most Level 20 weapons and equipment.
So Shifeng chose some Level 20 Xuan-Iron weapons with not very good attributes and kept them for backup. He didn't expect to use them now.
Then Shifeng chose to continue upgrading Abyssal Blade.
Level 20 was a big threshold, just like when Abyssal Blade was upgraded to Level 10, there would be a big improvement. Whether or not he could pass the next trial would depend on the Abyssal Blade promoted to Level 20.
However, this time's devouring was obviously different from when he was promoted to Level 15.
After devouring the sacrifices, Abyssal Blade also shattered, emitting a dragon's roar, and the heavens and the earth began to tremble. Abyssal Blade in Shifeng's hand broke free and floated in mid-air.
With a bang, Abyssal Blade completely exploded, turning into a black tornado, making everything deathly silent.
After the black tornado dissipated, a huge figure emerged. It was the Black Dragon King phantom that Shifeng had seen before. However, compared to the first time he saw it, this time the phantom was clearer, and the earth-shattering aura had become more intense. Even when facing the big shots on the Eternal Throne, Shifeng had never been so frightened.
Of course, the main reason was that these big shots didn't release their pressure and deliberately restrained themselves.
The Black Dragon King phantom, hundreds of meters tall, actually looked at Shifeng at this time, revealing a human-like sneer, and then disappeared and turned back into Abyssal Blade, falling in front of Shifeng, deeply buried in the sand, with only the hilt exposed.
Shifeng took a while to recover, reached out his arm, and pulled out Abyssal Blade.
At this time, Abyssal Blade had changed greatly. The entire sword had turned silver-gray, exuding a faint black death aura, full of demonic nature. A black dragon pattern appeared and disappeared on the sword, and a giant dragon was carved on the hilt, and there were also tiny black chains wrapped around the hilt, like some kind of seal.
"Did I do something I shouldn't have done?" Shifeng looked at the lifelike dragon sculpture on the hilt and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Shifeng increasingly felt that the promotion of the Abyssal Blade was the same as what that legendary figure, Faust, had said.
Demonic weapons are a double-edged sword. While constantly allowing the demonic weapon to absorb power, the curse inside is also getting stronger. The owner will eventually be swallowed by the power of the demonic weapon.
