Chapter 479

The intense battle with Alidia had allowed Shien to more or less understand his current strength.

Now, Shien could confidently say that he was not afraid of the strongest human of the current generation.

Half a month ago, although Shien was confident that he could defeat Alidia without using the Holy Sword of Ascension, he had to use all his skills in his normal state to achieve such an achievement.

If it was him half a month ago, without using [Ultimate Change] and his two powerful spells, he definitely would not have been able to fight with Alidia so fiercely while he was not even at level 60.

But now, after half a month, with the Mandate of Destiny skill that he had fused and his high level of 77, Shien was already able to gain the upper hand in the battle against Alidia.

This was under the condition that Shien did not use [Samsara], a trump card that could increase his strength by ten times. He did not use any spells, and in order to prove his own strength, he purposely took on all of Alidia's attacks head-on.

Otherwise, Shien only needed to use [Outer Sight] to teleport. No matter how powerful Alidia's [Ambush] was, would he be able to successfully make all of Alidia's attacks hit him without even being able to track him?

That was impossible.

If not for the fact that he wanted to test the defense of [Outer Sight] and the perception of [Outer Sight], Shien would not have been beaten around like a sandbag.

He could have used [Outer Sight] to teleport away, and then used [Inner Sight] to conceal himself. He would then launch an attack when Alidia could not detect him. Would he still be afraid that he would not be able to defeat Alidia with that?

Not to mention that Shien had not even used any spells. With the enhancement of [Inner Sight], one could imagine how powerful his magic and magic would be.

However, at that time, the Noble District that had just been rebuilt would once again suffer a calamity.

The main purpose of this battle was to prove his current strength. It was not simply to determine victory or defeat.

Therefore, Shien did not use all of his skills. Instead, he purposely fought Alidia in close combat.

In the end, even if he held back, Shien still managed to injure Alidia after a fierce battle.

This allowed Shien to understand that with his strength, he no longer needed to be afraid of existences below the Transcendent Level.

This was because Alidia, who was known to be invincible below the Transcendent Level, had already shown signs of defeat in front of Ye Xiwen.

So, if he were to use all of his skills, how strong would he be?

Shien did not know.

But Sean could guarantee that if he were to fight against Lilith, who had not yet returned, he would no longer need to risk his life like before, just to weaken the opponent's power and fight for an opportunity. Instead, he would have the ability to confront the opponent head-on, and even win!

What did this prove?

It proved that Shien had more or less reached the Transcendent Level!

As for whether he could defeat a Transcendent Level being, Sean wasn't sure.

But at the very least, he would not lose to this powerful enemy in front of him.

"Clang!"

The dazzling brilliance turned into a dazzling stream of light, circulating on Shien's sacred sword.

In that instant, Shien used the [Fate of the External Buddha] ability, increasing the weapon's performance by several times.

Under such circumstances, the sealed sacred sword in Shien's hand faintly showed a hint of unsealed might, causing the radiance to shine brightly.

"What's that?"

Seeing this scene, many people were stunned.

Especially An Xi, Lia, and the others. They had the same feeling.

"This radiance seems a little familiar."

An Xi and Lia were surprised.

Shien did not care. He continuously injected his demonic power into the sacred sword in his hand, causing the radiance on the sacred sword to become more and more dazzling.

Under the power of the [Fate of the External Buddha], as Shien injected more and more demonic power, the sacred sword's performance continued to rise. In the end, it reached ten times its limit.

Under such a state, the seal ring on the hilt of the sacred sword trembled, showing signs of falling off.

Shien knew that this was a phenomenon caused by his [Fate of the External Buddha] activating the sacred sword's latent power.

Previously, Shien had unsealed the sacred sword, intending to use the incomplete [Fate of the External Buddha] to increase the sacred sword's power.

Shien's sacred sword was already terrifyingly powerful. If its power could be increased by ten times, it would definitely be horrifying.

Unfortunately, Shien had failed at that time.

The sacred sword's performance had already reached its limit after it was completely unsealed. It was impossible to rely on external forces to increase its power.

Shien had even asked Ai Yi for her opinion on this matter.

Ai Yi had told Shien that.

"The sacred sword is a power born from the Hero's concept. It can be said to be the Hero's upper body and limbs."

"It's one with the Hero."

"And before the Hero transcends, breaks through the limits of life, and gets rid of the shackles of levels and skills, the sacred sword's power will also have a limit."

"If the Hero can transcend and advance to our level, he will no longer be limited by the concepts of levels and skills. The sacred sword will also break through its own limits. It will no longer provide a fixed increase in level, nor will it increase the level of your skills. Instead, it will become pure power and increase your own strength."

"This form of existence is actually the closest to the level of the Demon King and the Supreme God. At our level, we still have to rely on unique skills. Only the Hero's sacred sword can infinitely approach that level. Only power."

"At that time, the sacred sword will be able to display its true power. It will increase the Hero's strength to the maximum, and it will be able to wipe out all Demons. Even the Demon King will have to be wary of its sharpness."

"Right now, you haven't transcended and haven't even reached the limits of life. The sacred sword's power naturally can't transcend its own limits and be increased by your skills."

That was what happened.

Because of this, Shien's [External Destiny] couldn't increase the sacred sword's performance when it was completely unsealed, because the sacred sword's power in that state had reached its limit.

At most, Shien could use [External Destiny] to increase the sacred sword's attack power, making it sharper and more threatening, but there was no way to increase its power.

However, in the unsealed state, the sacred sword's power hadn't reached its limit, but he could use [External Destiny] to increase its power and awaken its sealed power.

This way, the sacred sword wouldn't be exposed, but it could give Shien more power, allowing him to wield more of the sacred sword's power without restraint in public.

Coupled with [External Destiny]'s enhancement of demon-breaking, defense-breaking, and destructive effects, once Shien used the power of [External Destiny], its power would definitely surpass the [Demon Sword] skill that had been integrated into [External Destiny], and it would be more restrained.

Therefore, there was no whistling wind or trembling force. Shien seemed to have turned the sword in his hand into a ray of light and raised it.

The power wasn't great at all, and it was even a little pleasing to the eye. However, for some reason, it made everyone's heart palpitate.

This was especially so for Alidia, who felt a terrifying pressure shrouding his body, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He didn't know what method Shien had used.

He originally thought that Shien would use the [Demon Sword] to fight him head-on, and he was confident that he could directly break Shien's [Demon Sword].

Back then, Alidia had used this move to break both Shien and Rosie's [Demon Sword].

Even though Shien had become stronger than before, and his magic power had increased a lot, Alidia had only layered [Demon Sword] twice back then, unlike now, where he had layered it ten times.

Naturally, Alidia wouldn't be afraid of the power of Shien's [Demon Sword].

But now, Alidia realized that he had been too naive.

The other party had been reborn, and the power of the [Demon Sword] was no longer the only thing he could do.

"Ahhhhhh …!"

Alidia unconsciously roared in anger, as if trying to expel the pressure and faint fear in his heart.

Immediately, Alidia slashed down with the absolute killing sword in his hand, causing the incomparably condensed crimson [Demon Sword] to fall down like a pillar of light, slashing toward Shien.

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged.

The huge crimson [Demon Sword] split the atmosphere as if it was going to split the entire heaven and earth apart, stirring up gales and air explosions.

The entire plaza in front of the gate was filled with gales, as if a category 12 typhoon was howling past.

The expressions of the experts hidden in the shadows changed, and finally, they couldn't help but resort to various means. Some raised defensive barriers, some used skills to protect themselves, and some simply turned tail and ran, as if they had encountered a ferocious beast.

"Your Highness!"

Even Shana hugged Leah, and as Leah cried out in alarm, she leaped away from the area.

"Master!"

Jess and Liz shielded Jacinta with panic on their faces, but they couldn't get Jacinta's attention at all.

Jacinta was still staring at the scene.

Ansy, Yule, Proctor, and Jarvis were doing the same.

In Boztut's residence, Vivian, Lumia, and Merica held their breaths as well.

Ai Yi focused her gaze, and together with Lilith and La Xia, she stared at the pillar of light that was falling down.

"Rawr!"

You Lin roared, flapped her wings, and took off.

Everyone fell into an uproar because of the momentum of the sword.

Only Shien, like a hero looking up at the heaven and earth, raised his head and puffed out his chest as he stared at the crimson pillar of light that was slashing toward him. Facing the airwaves, he wasn't shocked, but smiled instead.

Moreover, he was smiling very happily.

"Come on!"

As he made such a declaration, Shien leaped out, turning into a stream of light.

The stream of light soared straight up, as if it wanted to break through heaven and earth, break through space, and soar straight into the clouds.

The crimson pillar of light slashed toward him.

The dazzling stream of light met it.

In the entire Royal Capital, everyone noticed this scene and fell into panic.

In the end, the stream of light and the pillar of light collided with each other.

"— —"

The dazzling brilliance instantly filled the entire world, taking away everyone's vision.
