"The greatest strength of this power is that it's the purest transcendent energy. Not only is it unaffected by other transcendent skills, it can suppress them in turn!"
To draw an analogy, transcendent energy could be thought of as steel.
Most transcendent skills turned that steel into swords or other tools, using ingenious designs to achieve their respective effects.
Lin Yuan, meanwhile, was essentially charging in swinging a big lump of iron.
In terms of killing efficiency and the like, an iron lump certainly couldn't compare to a sword, but it was tough!
If it actually collided with a sword, the latter would be ruined too.
That was what made Lin Yuan's power so terrifying: it could neutralize other transcendent skills.
Although swords were only an analogy and the reality was more complicated, Lin Yuan would have to expend several times or even dozens of times as much energy to neutralize attacks from other transcendent skills.
But wasn't the greatest feature of his Path of the Lost Sanctum precisely its abundance of energy?
As long as he refined enough Transcendent Cores, he could bulldoze through any skill thrown at him.
This was the power of basic attacks!
Lin Yuan swung his glowing club, dispersing some unknown skill unleashed by the phantom of some unknown Main Sea Overlord with one blow, then flattened his opponent on the spot with another.
Enough of your fancy tricks. Eat my Sanctum club!
Only then did Lin Yuan truly grasp how terrifying this path was.
After all, in battles involving transcendent powers, the greatest fear was an unfavorable matchup.
Shadows feared light, strength feared control, and poison feared regeneration.
Even with superior strength, it was very easy to suffer an upset against a countering power.
Even Lin Yuan previously had weaknesses, despite having no Sanity
