Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1386: Echoes of the Eighth Blade
Timothy Tau bitterly said, "I remember, the Elder was so pleased when he told us that he had deduced a blade technique more powerful than the Heaven’s Cataclysmic Blade. He said that once this technique appeared in the world, the strongest blade technique would no longer be belong to Senior Tian Wuya, but his. At the time, I was so happy for the Elder, but just two days later, the Elder came to us with a terrible expression, telling me not to reveal the existence of the eighth blade to anyone, including the sect. He told us to say that the eighth blade couldn’t be deduced, or that it had only been partially deduced, or else the Tau clan would face annihilation. At the time, I didn’t understand, but later, the Elder left the Etermal One Sect, and when we received news of him again, it was the news of his death."
"I remember you were ordered to go to the Green Lotus Sect to demand the eighth blade," Amalia said.
"I had no choice but to agree. To be honest, from the start, I never thought you had the complete eighth blade. The Elder forbade us from telling anyone about the eighth blade, and he would never have passed on the Eight Gods Blades technique," Timothy Tau paused and then said, "Even if it did exist, it probably wouldn’t be the one the Elder deduced."
When Timothy Tau said this, he kept his gaze fixed on her, as though trying to read something from her expression. He was destined to be disappointed.
Amalia’s face betrayed nothing, but in her heart, she understood clearly—he was right. The blade technique she had learned, the eighth blade, was not the one the Eight Gods Elder had deduced.
The eighth blade was powerful, but it wasn’t as powerful as the one described by Master Lian, with the power being dozens or even hundreds of times that of the seventh blade.
Although she didn’t believe they were lying, she didn’t fully trust their words either.
Not long after they left, the people sent by Mistone City to tracked the movements of Ubel and the others, arriving at the Ashwood Hollow City.
If it hadn’t been for the devils deliberately leading them away to another location and make them wasting some time, they would have arrived much earlier.
However, they were still a step too late. The place was already deserted, with only traces of battle remaining.
"How did Ashwood Hollow City end up like this?" Everyone was shocked by the city’s transformation into a wasteland.
"Could the devils have massacred Ashwood Hollow City?"
They immediately rushed over to investigate, only to find that the dead were not just devils, but also many devils who are wearing human skins. There were a large number of them, which was highly unusual.
Later, they found that the entrances and exits of Ashwood Hollow City had long been sealed.
The formations above were covered in dust, showing clear signs that they hadn’t been used in a long time.
Thus, they speculated that the people of Ashwood Hollow City had probably long been assimilated by the devils.
They had assumed the people guarding Ashwood Hollow City were from the Oryeong Mountains, but in reality, they were all devils.
"This is strange. Why are all these devils dead? Even a few King level devils are dead as well," Wigilia Han was greatly shocked.
King level devils weren’t easy to come by, especially those in the late or peak King level. They were the candidates to reach Sovereign level.
The devils typically didn’t let these people die easily, but he found that more than one had perished here.
"Peak Master, look here! There’s also the corpse of a human cultivator at the Body Integration Stage!" At that moment, a disciple made a new discovery.
Wigilia Han immediately walked over, removed the mask from the corpse of the human cultivator, and found that it was a very unfamiliar face. "Peak Master, these must be some human cultivators who discovered the abnormalities of Ashwood Hollow City and fought the devils. Both sides may have perished together."
Wigilia Han carefully examined the body, then looked around and firmly shook his head. "No, it probably wasn’t like that. They most likely died at the hands of the same person. There must have been an extraordinary battle here." As he looked at the traces left behind, his mind raced, and he felt like he had missed something.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead.
Wigilia Han immediately shattered the rubble on the ground which revealing a surface that was covered with blade marks.
Deep or shallow, the blade marks crisscrossed the entire area, and judging by their appearance, they all seemed to come from the same person.
"Peak Master, what about these blade marks?" A disciple didn’t recognize them and asked in confusion.
Wigilia Han suddenly became emotional. "Don’t you find these blade marks familiar? They still contain remnants of the Heaven’s Cataclysmic Blade’s aura—there is no mistake! These are from Senior Tian Wuya’s Heaven’s Cataclysmic Blade!"
The disciples were all shocked. "You mean the person who was just fighting here was Senior Tian Wuya?"
"It’s not Senior Tian Wuya," Wigilia Han said firmly, with an unusual trace of excitement on his usually calm face. "It was Martial Aunt Amalia. Other than Senior Tian Wuya, only she can use the Heaven’s Cataclysmic Blade!"
Everyone was stunned.
Wigilia Han had never expected to learn of Amalia’s whereabouts here.
Both of his martial aunt and martial uncle had disappeared for a full two years now.
During that time, the Green Lotus Sect had sent people out in search of them, but every attempt had ended in failure.
Later, Master Lian and Senior Tian Wuya said they were exiled into a spatial rift.
If they hadn’t died, the most likely possibility was that they had fallen into another dimension—a near-impossible task to track down, it’s like searching for a needle in the ocean.
