Err... That is the damage of the Terra Blade only on Vanilla Terraria, the Terra Blade at level 102 with 102 Str have 1003 Damage while the chains have only 227 at the same stats.

Even the Eletric Sword that can be got later on (Mechanic required) do 421 with the stats.

Terra Blade is THE Endgame Melee weapon, and other melee weapons won't easily compare to it (Only Paladin's Hammer)
