The strong coupling phase of massless Quantum Electrodynamics is studied in a gauge invariant way. The formalism is given in which the order parameter of the chiral symmetry breaking is calculated through the vacuum polarization diagrams. Applying this method, the critical coupling constant is shown to exist that is independent of the gauge parameter but is now dependent on the ratio of the two kinds of cutoff. Implication of this new parameter on the renormalization scheme in the strong coupling phase is discussed.
