Sword God in a World of Magic

Above the Eternal Ocean, a portal opened, and Shang stepped through it.

Shang had undergone a Transformation, but he looked the same as when he had entered, except for the fact that the left sleeve of his robes was empty.

Shang knew where he was roughly. He guessed that he was probably a couple of million kilometers to the north of Aterium, which was outside any kind of human Spirit Sense.

Shang assumed that Emperors had a Spirit Sense that could cover a million kilometers in radius, but that would only be true for someone with a onefold Spirit Sense.

Most likely, the Lightning Emperor had a fourfold Spirit Sense, which would allow him to oversee his entire Empire as long as he stayed near the middle of it.

Even if any Emperor were at the northernmost edge of the continent, they still couldn't see Shang.

Shang's next goal was clear.

He needed to create his seventh Sword Path, which should also be his last.

And then, Shang would push this new Path to such a high level that it would support his breakthrough.

Sadly, Shang couldn't remain in such an isolated place since he also had to ensure that the Lightning Manor survived.

So, Shang flew towards the south.

As the fire and ice of Comet enveloped Shang, he realized something.

His body didn't heat or cool as much as before, even though it hadn't become stronger.

But this small mystery was quickly solved.

Shang realized that his increased Affinities also made his body more resilient to them.

It wasn't too crazy. Shang guessed that his resistance to his four main Affinities had increased by about 30%.

That wouldn't do that much for a battle since an opponent that was actually dangerous to Shang would have to be so powerful that getting hit by any of their Spells would kill Shang ten times over.

However, this allowed Shang to use more Light, Darkness, Fire, and Ice Mana.

Due to all of that, his speed, defense, and offense increased by a bit.
