They are fundamentally different concepts.

The effect of the Boundless Sea is simple: by continuously deepening one’s own energy system, it adopts the intent of the sea, making one’s energy increasingly profound, and endless like the waves.

Manifested in Louis, it enhances the quality of blood energy and magic power, greatly increasing the efficiency of energy use.

The Anti-Magic Blade Light is more straightforward, allowing you to coat the blade light with the effect of shattering the Extraordinary method when using it.

Louis had already understood this before.

This effect allows a Sword Master to shatter martial skills, magic, or spells with the blade light when attacking.

One strengthens the body, the other breaks magic.

Combined, they form the simplest and purest “output machine.”

As the understanding deepened, Louis finally realized how lucky he was to be able to counter it previously.

Although his physical strength continued to grow, energy had always been a major problem for him.

Long-term use of the Mask of Greed’s triple mask stacking effect naturally carried a magic reduction debuff in battles.

But giving up the stacking effects of the Mask of Greed was impossible for him.

The combination of three different vocational directions was the reason he could uniquely grasp the Saint Realm techniques.

Now, the effect of the Boundless Sea rule made his previously scarce magic power supply become abundant again, and the power he could exert far exceeded imagination.

The Anti-Magic Blade Light further strengthened his foundation and made his ordinary attacks more lethal, significantly raising his lower limits.

But this light blade, which gathered a Sword Master’s lifetime study, although extremely valuable to anyone, was still limited.

—Only him, only him.

Only he, with a greedy desire for knowledge, could completely digest and absorb this inheritance in limited tries.

The real Sword Master had died, but the complete Heavenly Blade still existed in the world.

At this moment, Louis finally understood the intentions of the Sword Master.

This man, who once stepped from the magnificent era into the turbulent age, experienced ups and downs, and in the end, all returned to peace.

Only that long sword in his hand grew sharper with the howling wind and snow.

This light blade was his last blossoming of a lifetime of study to the world.

The memories pouring into his mind seemed to recount to him every moment.

Confessing how thankful he was to the heavens for granting him the possibility to explore the way of swordsmanship.

Confessing his faint unwillingness to be voluntarily imprisoned in this vast yet narrow world of Lokeshi.

Also confessing, to be able to meet Prince Ense and fight exhilaratingly with this interesting fellow before leaving this world.

Whether that person used some means to gain these skills?

It doesn’t matter!

Acquiring this set of skills by any means is merely a choice to reach beyond the firmament, neither right nor wrong.

He even considered it a gift bestowed upon him by destiny.

To see such a holy sword blooming at the extreme, it was truly wonderful, so…

“Heavenly Blade, bloom once more.”

Louis opened his eyes.

The surging power covered the entire demi-plane.

Above the sky, beams of light pierced through the clouds that shrouded the warriors’ tomb.

When he looked up at the sky, it wasn’t a light breaking through clouds, but rather blades descending from the heavens like a waterfall engulfing the surroundings.

The true Heavenly Blade.

…

[Location: Headquarters of the Church of Glory and Justice]

Bathing in the holy light, Cardinal Cario Monan slowly looked up at the magnificent statue, tears streaming down his face.

“Oh Lord, grant me to practice your words, to experience your path.

To walk with you on the path of truth, may the wisdom of glory and justice descend upon me, praise my Lord, in the witness of the stars, glorify the name of the Lord.

I am confident that by the Lord’s precious blood, all my sins are washed away…

Now is the time I should step into the fray.”

When he stood up, the cardinals behind him lifted their heads.

Someone asked, “Your Eminence, is the Glory War finally going to break out?”

Cario replied calmly, “It never stopped; we are the devout lambs under the light of glory and justice, defending the deity and our beliefs, regardless of when or where. Gentlemen, the bells of the holy war have tolled.”

A cardinal numbly raised his head, “Can we finally confront the Four Gods of the Abyss?”

Someone tightly gripped the cross, looking worried, “Who knows how many will fight to defend the Land of Order this time.”

Someone laughed heartily, “Whether they defend or not, what’s it to us? We just need to do our best first.”

Someone exuded a killing intent, “Open the succession ceremony; should the pope and cardinals fall, the candidates in the succession lineup shall ascend directly to continue executing the deity’s will and maintain world order.”

“Agreed.”

“Seconded.”

“Gentlemen, many may die this time, and many indeed.” Cario cried, “We don’t know how many we can save, fighting till the last moment, but we are never alone…”

When the pope uttered these words, all cardinals at the scene changed their expressions.

Someone trembled and asked, “Your Eminence, you mean…”

“As you think, our most supreme, forceful, and virtuous Lord has personally intervened in the battle. Gentlemen, this is a sacred battle to defend order, and also… a war of the gods!”

The venue was in an uproar.

Although they anticipated the outbreak of this war, they did not expect that the God of Light and Justice would actively choose to join the battle.

“Where is His Eminence now?”

A member couldn’t help but ask.

Indeed, excluding zealots, most high-ranking church officials were not as fanatical about the deities.

But having identified with the deity’s philosophy, they chose to embark on this path together.

Witnessing the steadfast execution of the philosophy’s source, how could they suppress their emotions?

…

[Location: Am Empire, Headquarters of the Goddess of Commerce and Wealth Church]

The Pope of the Business Goddess slowly opened his eyes.

“Deliver the divine oracle: At the moment of existential crisis, with the destruction of order, commerce will inevitably vanish.

The Goddess decrees, unite under the divine favorer Louis Charles Julius to jointly resist the apocalyptic calamity.”

…

[Location: Outside Yin Soul City, Enoak Desert]

A Legendary Mage from Yin Soul City frowned as he watched the raging sands, saying under his breath:

“Quickly summon the City Lord; just like the ancient bronze pillar recorded, once the holy war begins, the breath of the gods will weaken part of the archaic seals, and the Fellin demon sunflowers will prematurely enter an active phase. We should invite Ense and the Supreme Forest over to stabilize the situation.”

“No need to go. I’ve already arrived.”

A figure draped in a black robe, seemingly indifferent to the desert’s heat, stood there quietly, saying:

“Ense cannot come for now; the Supreme Forest’s Grand Speaker has come out of seclusion again.”

The Legendary Mage’s eyes widened, “Is that one planning to make a move again?”

“I don’t know.”

“But, City Lord, you…”

“But I know that if the elves still long for the era of the era’s overlord to return, they will surely choose to come here and fight for order, even if it’s out of face.”

Open-mouthed, the Legendary Mage watched as tattered flags stained with blood fell from the City Lord’s hand.

These were fragments of the banners of forces hidden in the Enoak Desert.

The dense smell of blood on them indicated many things.

“City Lord, are these all…?”

“Yes, they are.” He replied, “Calio, go to the Supreme Forest.”

“Understood, my Lord!”

[Location: The Warrior’s Tomb]

After the surging power gradually subsided, Louis finally opened and closed his hands, and moments later, he discovered that the black blade given to him by Vier began to open a rift.

He could have stopped it, but his curiosity made him pause.

He found himself wondering what was happening.

From the opened rift, he found a storage pouch fall to the ground.

Inside it, he found a letter.

Upon seeing it, he opened it and read.

From the words on the letter, it was clear how rude it was to send a gift as significant as a Heavenly Blade through such a means, but he asked that I take care of his daughter, just don’t let her die…
