The remaining cult members, witnessing the defeat of their leader, were gripped by a sense of hopelessness. They had seen their most powerful techniques and abilities fail against the might of Nascent Soul cultivators, and it left them demoralized.
As Ma Chen and I continued to fend off the cult members, it became clear that the tide of the battle had turned decisively in our favor. With every strike and defensive maneuver, we demonstrated the vast difference in power between Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators.
One by one, the cult members were incapacitated, either through direct combat or by the overwhelming pressure of my Nascent Soul aura. Their dark robes and sinister symbols offered them no protection against the forces we wielded.
