Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1385: The Forbidden Blade
At this point, Howeil Tau who is standing nearby, spoke up to clarify for the Elder. "It wasn’t that the Elder couldn’t deduce the eighth blade. It’s that the Elder didn’t want to. He realized that the eighth blade shouldn’t exist in this world."
Amalia suddenly recalled what Sect Leader Qing had once told her about what Master Lian had said.
The complete Eight Gods Blades—the power of the eighth blade was several times, even hundreds of times, greater than the seventh blade.
This kind of immense disparity in power didn’t make sense, as a complete technique is supposed to be built on a balanced system.
Every system has its own balance, and that balance cannot be easily altered.
It’s like a Qi Gathering stage cultivator who might be able to use a treasure or tool to exert the power of a Foundation Building stage cultivator, but they cannot cross that threshold to display the power of a Golden Core stage cultivator.
Because for Qi Gathering stage cultivators, the potential of their bodies is limited. Once they exceed this limit, it becomes impossible to continue.
"You might have already figured it out. Strictly speaking, the eighth blade of the Eight Gods Blades can no longer be considered part of the Eight Gods Blade system. It should be regarded as an independent technique, and it only has one blade. The Elder once said that this blade is the Blade of Death. Once it’s unleashed, it must kill many people."
"Because it will draw the life force of the wielder, right?" Amalia’s eyes grew cold.
"Not just one life. The greater the power of this blade, the more life force it demands. The dozens or even hundreds of times the power you spoke of... I’m not sure how much it requires, but I can imagine that the number of people who will die is certainly not small," Timothy Tau said.
"Did the Etermal One Sect come up with this blade? What were they hoping for? Was it just to surpass the Green Lotus Sect and become the number one sect of the Mystic Void Continent?" Amalia didn’t believe that the Etermal One Sect was only thinking of this; there was likely some hidden agenda.
"Back in the battle on Copperstone Region, the Etermal One Sect knew that they couldn’t obtain the eighth blade, so they tried to kill me. Were they afraid the Green Lotus Sect would learn about the eighth blade?"
Timothy Tau sighed. "Amalia, you’re truly sharp. Some things I hadn’t said, you’ve already figured out."
Amalia said, "Their actions were too obvious. Once I understood the problem, it was easy to guess. But what about you? Why did you break away from the Etermal One Sect? Did they force you to deduce the eighth blade, or did they know you were aware of it and wanted you to hand it over?"
Timothy Tau gave a bitter smile. He knew Amalia was clever, but he hadn’t expected her to figure everything out.
"Since the Elder didn’t want to deduce the eighth blade and bring disaster to this continent, we naturally didn’t want to go against his wishes. But we didn’t expect that they would go to such extremes to obtain it, even doing something so terrible."
"Soul searching?"
Timothy Tau’s eyes revealed a trace of pain. "Yes. A conversation between me and the clan elders was overheard by a junior. This junior, unaware of the gravity of the situation, spread the word..."
As expected, the news eventually reached Sect Leaders Mao’s ears.
Setc Leader Mao initially didn’t reveal his true intentions. He came to them pretending to be sincere, trying to persuade them.
Although the Elder had deduced the eighth blade, he never shared it with anyone. So no matter how much Sect Leader Mao persuaded them, they didn’t know about it.
Later, Sect Leader Mao stopped trying to persuade them. However, after that, several of the Tau clan’s members who were out on expeditions disappeared one after another.
At first, they didn’t believe it was the sect’s doing. They had no evidence and couldn’t believe the sect would act so cruelly.
So, Timothy Tau decided to test Sect Leader Mao.
A senior elder from theTau clan volunteered to fake escaping from the Etermal One Sect. If the elder didn’t die, then it wouldn’t be the sect’s doing.
But the result was a huge disappointment for the Tau clan. The Etermal One Sect actually sent a Mahayana Stage cultivator to chase after the elder.
They learned the truth from the communication jade slip.
Those missing disciples and clan elders had all been killed by the sect, and their souls were searched.
The elder, in order to protect the Tau clan, intentionally created the illusion that only he knew, and the rest of the Tau clan didn’t.
That was why he had to escape alone.
To deceive Sect Leader Mao into lowering his guard, Timothy Tau stayed quietly with his clan in the Etermal One Sect for over half a year.
Once Sect Leader Mao relaxed his vigilance and stopped monitoring them as closely, Timothy Tau seized the opportunity and used the excuse of training in the Devil Battlefields to escape.
But they were discovered that very day.
They were pursued relentlessly, the claim being that they were heading to the Devil Battlefields.
Had they been on Mystic Void Continent, with the Etermal One Sect’s power, they likely wouldn’t have escaped for as long.
"Our Elder was truly a child of destiny. He rose after Senior Tian Wuya, and the Path of Blade under Senior Tian Wuya’s fame was unsurpassable. Later, the Elder sought to create a more powerful technique than Senior Tian Wuya’s Heaven’s Cataclysmic Blade, and thus, the Eight Gods Blades were born." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Unfortunately, when the Elder reached the seventh blade, he realized it wasn’t as powerful as the Heaven’s Cataclysmic Blade. So, he went off track, abandoning the original system, and eventually deduced the eighth blade of the Eight Gods Blade."
