Chapter 292 Black Emperor
"Great power comes from a determined will."
This was also the only advice the legendary NPC Faust gave to Eric.
After Eric grasped the significantly altered Abyssal Blade, he fully felt the terrifying power contained within it. It was as if the sword were alive. Eric could even feel the pulsation from the hilt in his palm, as if a dragon was roaring inside the Abyssal Blade, ready to break the seal and burst out at any moment.
"What powerful attributes!" Eric couldn't help but marvel as he checked the Abyssal Blade's properties.
This was definitely the most powerful weapon Eric had seen below the Epic Level quality.
Even the Blaze Comet, crafted by the genius master blacksmith Selura, was a notch below.
Now, calling the Abyssal Blade a pseudo-Transcendent Weapon was not an exaggeration. With a bit more enhancement, it could soon reach the Epic Level.

Crafted by the master Osiris using the fang of the Black Dragon King, this famous sword is one of the thirty-six legendary swords in Divine Realms: Legends, ranked thirty-first. However, it is afflicted by the Black Dragon King's Dreaded Affliction. Besides granting the holder incredible power, it also periodically backlashes against the holder. But with modifications by Jack, who added Moonstone, the backlash power is greatly reduced. If the backlash cannot be suppressed, the holder will suffer the Black Dragon King's Dreaded Affliction, permanently reducing all attributes by 50%. Additionally, it cannot be dropped, traded, or destroyed.
"As expected of a Demonic Weapon, it did not disappoint me. Even Epic Level weapons rarely have an ultimate skill, and this one has it even before reaching Epic Level."
After carefully reading the introduction of the Arcane Black Emperor, Eric breathed a sigh of relief. The sixth trial was no longer a major issue.
Ultimate skills were rare in the early stages of Divine Realms: Legends and became more common in the mid-stages.
Ultimate skills differ from regular skills. The class skills provided by Divine Realms: Legends are general skills without uniqueness, requiring players to adapt to their use. However, ultimate skills can form unique attack methods for players, making them more flexible and further enhancing combat power.
"The most common ultimate skills enhance abilities, such as increasing the power of skills or changing their effects, creating a more flexible attack mode.
Among them, the higher-level ultimate skills not only change abilities but also enhance certain attributes, and Arcane Black Emperor belongs to this category.
If others saw the attributes of the Abyssal Blade, they would probably be stunned and want to claim it for themselves.
Just like The Stygian Alliance, which has always collected various powerful items by any means necessary.
In today's society, virtual games have become one of the world's mainstream entertainments.
And with the emergence of Divine Realms: Legends, it has taken an absolutely dominant position. Almost half of an ordinary person's time is spent living in Divine Realms: Legends, so players want to live better and more decently in Divine Realms: Legends.
After all, life in Divine Realms: Legends was like another life of its own.
However, this life was simpler and purer.
It revolved around weapons, equipment, and power.
One could say that players' pursuit of virtual items is no less than women's pursuit of luxury goods.
After all, powerful weapons and equipment represent strength to an ordinary player. Stylish and magnificent weapons and equipment, and astonishing output, are all things that ordinary players envy.
Top-tier weapons and equipment are the symbols of the power players in Divine Realms: Legends.
Countless players are in pursuit of this, which is why many players are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of credit points, or even tens of thousands of credit points, to buy these powerful weapons and equipment. Not to mention wealthy heirs who wouldn't mind spending millions of credit points for a powerful item.
Because powerful weapons and equipment can give them the thrill of crushing others.
If a Demonic Weapon like the Abyssal Blade were to be sold, it wouldn't be impossible to fetch a sky-high price of tens of millions of credit points. Eric remembered that a year after Divine Realms: Legends launched, a Legendary Level item was auctioned in a real-world auction, selling for over sixty million credit points, shocking the world. However, not long after, the person who sold the Legendary Level item suffered a huge loss.
There are very few Legendary Level items in the entire Divine Realms: Legends, and each one is a strategic weapon for guilds. It might even help a player complete the advancement to a fourth or fifth-tier class. A fifth-tier class expert's value far exceeds tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of credit points because the birth of a fifth-tier expert gives a guild the capital to occupy two or three cities with populations of over a million. The revenue from a city with a population of over a million is far more than tens of millions of credit points, not even a fraction of it.
Of course, the Abyssal Blade is not yet comparable to a Legendary Level weapon, and its basic attributes are far below even Epic Level weapons. However, it is exactly what Eric needs the most.
For Eric right now, the most desired thing is not to increase attributes by tens or hundreds, but skills, and Arcane Black Emperor can perfectly compensate for that.
Eric has learned many skills, and they are quite powerful, but they have a fatal flaw: they have explosive power but lack continuity. This might not be a problem for dungeon runs or crushing players with inferior equipment.
After all, when facing players with inferior equipment, he doesn't even need a full set of skills to take them down, completely crushing them without any need for technique. In dungeon runs, with a tank in front, healers in the back, and other support, as long as he can control and output, it's enough.
But when facing monsters or players with much stronger overall strength alone, if he can't kill them with one burst, he lacks sustainability, and then he would be the one getting trampled. Just like when the Assassin expert Celestial Paragon ambushed Eric, his burst was cracked by Eric, and then Celestial Paragon could only flee, or he would have to find a way to target the enemy's weak points; otherwise, he would be dead for sure.
After thinking for over two hours, Eric finally came up with a combat mode using Arcane Black Emperor, giving him more confidence in passing the crucial sixth trial.
"Let me see what kind of monster the sixth round has."
Eric smiled slightly and reached out to click on the System screen to start the next round of trials.
