Strangely, amidst the gathering of these formidable overlords, the Thousand Illusionary Sect stood as a mere shadow, its power limited to a sole Soul Formation cultivator—the patriarch himself.
"It's true, the more comfort one finds in their surroundings, the easier it is for their resolve to crumble," mused Xue Fu, the patriarch of the Kunlun Sect, disappointment etched across his face as he surveyed the ruins of the Thousand Illusionary Sect.
"Hmp! No wonder they fell to a single Demonic Cultivator. They lacked the strength to claim this blessed land for themselves!" Mo Hu, towering above the other patriarchs and possessing the most formidable cultivation among them, snorted in disdain upon witnessing Xia Wei's transformation.
Unbeknownst to Mo Hu, his body inadvertently radiated an aura characteristic of the peak stage of the Void Amalgamation realm. This drew frowns from the rest of the patriarchs, who glanced at him with a mixture of curiosity and concern.
