Chapter 1 The Abyssal Devourer's Evolution

As Shi Feng clicked on the system bar, the Abyssal Devourer in his hand turned into a cloud of black mist like a ravenous wolf, instantly devouring all the Magic Source Crystals.

The energy purity of Magic Source Crystals in God's Domain was second only to the Seven Luminaries Crystal. Each crystal contained enough magic power to flatten a small town. The Abyssal Devourer absorbed a hundred Magic Source Crystals in one go, and the terrifying energy pulsed, causing the entire space to tremble. The roar of a dragon echoed throughout the island, as if the entire space was about to explode, and a giant dragon would burst out from within.

"Is it going to backlash?" Shi Feng's expression was quite grim.

Magic items were not like normal weapons and equipment when it came to advancement. Each advancement could cause a backlash from the magic item, and the backlash was stronger each time. If he couldn't suppress it, he would become a cripple.

He thought his current strength would allow him to confidently handle the second backlash, but based on the current fluctuations, he only had a fifty to sixty percent chance of withstanding this energy.

Fortunately, the duration of this energy fluctuation was very short.

In just two or three seconds, everything returned to calm. A jet-black blade with dragon纹 etched on it quietly appeared before Shi Feng.

The moment the blade appeared, even though Shi Feng was four or five yards away, a strong dragon's威压 pressed down, causing Shi Feng to feel a sinking sensation throughout his body. Even the ground beneath his feet sank slightly.

A famous sword hand-crafted by the master craftsman Olisys using the fangs of the Black Dragon King. 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 backlash the holder from time to time. 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.

"So strong!" Shi Feng was stunned for a moment as he looked at the evolved Abyssal Devourer.

Perhaps the Abyssal Devourer's attributes and attack power were far inferior to the Level 100 Holy Sword, Thunder Slayer, and Twilight Blade, but its Level 80 attributes were already comparable to the two top-grade Epic weapons of Level 85. Moreover, the most significant improvement of the Abyssal Devourer was not its attributes.

The Tier 3 skills had been greatly enhanced compared to Tier 2. It was an absolute weapon for group battles. Even Legendary-grade item fragments were nothing more than this.

If it could evolve once more, it was simply unimaginable how much it would improve.

Of course, it was very difficult to evolve again. Before, it only needed Magic Source Crystals to evolve, but now it needed God Crystals, and five of them. God Crystals were something that one could only encounter by chance, and obtaining one was more difficult than finding an Epic-grade weapon. The difficulty of collecting five was conceivable.

Then, Shi Feng replaced the Holy Sword, Thunder Slayer, and directly replaced it with the Abyssal Devourer.

"Is this the power after evolution?" Shi Feng felt extremely shocked as he looked at the Abyssal Devourer after equipping it.

Although his attack power and attributes had decreased slightly, the feeling of holding the Abyssal Devourer was like it was a part of him. With just a light wave, the air was easily cut open, forming a wave of air that extended several yards away. Its sharpness was simply that of a divine weapon. Breaking through the scales of a Level 100 Great Lord to deal damage was definitely more than enough, and his physique had also improved a lot, making his combat power increase instead of decrease.

After adapting to the Abyssal Devourer for a while, Shi Feng shifted his focus to the graves in the inner area.

The goal of the class-change quest was to find a legacy. Needless to say, the legacy was in these towering graves. As long as he opened the graves, he could naturally obtain the legacy.

The only trouble was the countless wandering Lord-ranked undead monsters and the heroic spirits guarding the graves.

He had no way to deal with the countless undead monsters before, but now that he had the Abyssal Devourer, blocking them was not difficult. Next, he just needed to entangle the guarding heroic spirits and open the graves.

But since he didn't know which grave specifically, Shi Feng didn't plan to take too much risk. He just chose the nearest and smallest grave and charged towards it.

The moment he stepped into the forest, the undead creatures active around the grave sensed the aura of Shi Feng, this living being. In an instant, dozens of them pounced on him.

These undead creatures might not be very intelligent, but dozens of them charging at once would force even top experts to flee.

"Go!"

Shi Feng looked at the charging undead and directly used Nine-Headed Dragon Slash.

Twenty-one Abyssal Devourer phantoms cleared the way for Shi Feng like twenty-one experts.

Although each Abyssal Devourer phantom only had 90% of his power, Shi Feng's basic attributes were not inferior to those of Level 100 Tier 3 classes at all. 90% of his power could easily crush Lord-ranked undead monsters.

In just one exchange, dozens of charging undead were repelled, and Shi Feng easily arrived in front of a small mound.

"This is the resting place of the dead, not a place for you living to come!" A Tier 3 heroic spirit wearing armor and holding a spear looked at Shi Feng charging over and thrust at Shi Feng without saying a word.

Forgotten Heroic Spirit, Undead Creature, Tier 3 Battle King, Level 101, HP 54 million.

Although this heroic spirit warrior didn't have much HP, a simple thrust used an advanced battle technique. The shadows of the spear converged into a line, making it so that one's subconscious couldn't detect this spear shadow at all, as if this spear shadow didn't exist. Moreover, its power was definitely at the peak of Tier 3, and it would have no problem repelling a Tier 3 high-ranking Great Lord of the same level.

If a Tier 3 player was struck by this attack, they would be done for on the spot.

Shi Feng had no confidence in dealing with such a Level 100 Tier 3 heroic spirit, but he didn't intend to fight the heroic spirit. He immediately used Phantom Kill, allowing the doppelganger to use Sword Defense to resist, while he himself quietly turned towards the tomb.

As Shi Feng clicked on the tomb, a prompt bar immediately appeared.

System: Do you want to open the tomb and absorb part of the legacy mastered by the tomb owner before death?

Shi Feng was overjoyed when he saw this prompt and directly chose to open it.

At the moment of opening, a loading bar appeared before Shi Feng's eyes. Absorbing the legacy would take eight seconds, and at the same time as the tomb opened, the guarding heroic spirit also became furious, completely ignoring Shi Feng's doppelganger and directly attacking Shi Feng himself.

"As expected, it's not that easy."

Looking at the heroic spirit about to charge over, Shi Feng didn't dare to hold back. He directly had the doppelganger use the legacy explosion skill, Blade Liberation, and focused on controlling the doppelganger to attack the heroic spirit.

Lightning Flash!

Streaks of sword light attacked the heroic spirit, but the heroic spirit was not afraid at all. He turned his spear and directly met the attack.

Clang Clang Clang...

A series of crisp metallic collision sounds echoed in mid-air. All the sword lights were blocked, and the doppelganger couldn't help but take a step back due to the impact of the weapon collision.

Although the doppelganger was not a match, Shi Feng had no intention of winning against a Tier 3 heroic spirit. He only needed to stall for eight seconds.

Finally, at the cost of sacrificing the doppelganger, Shi Feng absorbed part of the tomb owner's legacy, and a legacy completion rate suddenly appeared in the quest bar.

System: The legacy completion rate has reached 15%. Do you want to accept the legacy?

"I see." Shi Feng immediately understood when he saw the system prompt.

These tombs were all legacies of this Tier 3 class-change quest, but the legacy completion rate of each tomb was different, depending entirely on what kind of Tier 3 legacy the player wanted to choose.

Then, Shi Feng gave up the legacy and fled directly towards the outside of the magic barrier.

As soon as he left the magic barrier, the undead and heroic spirits that had been chasing Shi Feng also gave up the chase and returned to their original positions one by one.

With the first attempt, Shi Feng also began to set his sights on the better tombs in the inner area.

However, the more magnificent the tomb, the more powerful the heroic spirit guarding it. Among them, in the very center and highest tomb, which was like a temple, a Level 100 Tier 4 heroic spirit was stationed, guarding the tomb like a demon god.

The next level of tombs also had Tier 3 titled heroic spirits guarding them.

Heroic spirits were originally those dead heroes. To be able to obtain a title after death meant that they were all kings among heroes in life. Killing peak players of the same tier was no different from crushing an ant. Their strength after death might be far inferior to what it was before, but killing peak players of the same tier was still a piece of cake.

"I can only give it a shot." Shi Feng gritted his teeth as he looked at the titled heroic spirit holding a battle blade.

He had no hope at all for the highest-level tomb, because the gap between Tier 4 and Tier 3 was too great. Meeting them meant instant death. But he was unwilling to just randomly choose a third-tier tomb. After all, the rewards for the Tier 3 class change would be very different depending on the completion rate, so he had to fight for a second-tier tomb.

Then, Shi Feng rested for more than ten minutes, and all his magic skills were restored. He charged into the magic barrier in the inner area once again, heading straight for the huge tomb that was like a small high-rise building.
