How should I translate this sentence?
En mi vida le he visto
This sentence has the same meaning as No le he visto en mi vida, which means I haven't seen him in my life. But there is not a negative 'no' in the sentence En mi vida le he visto. Why the sentence express the negative meaning?
You may find this answer interesting: ¿Cuándo adquirió la locución adverbial “en la vida” un sentido negativo?
Basically, "En mi vida" or "en la vida" is a locution or expression that means "never" or "never in my life". Thus
En mi vida le he visto
means
Nunca le he visto
Which of course has the meaning of "No le he visto en mi vida / I haven't seen him in my life". It is basically "I have never seen him in my life", so you don't need a explicit no. The nunca (understood from "En la vida") carries that meaning.
