Even though Sui Ying had already said that the figure standing on the head of the Soul-Devouring Beast Emperor was the Lord of Light and Shadow they worshipped, when this terrifying beast actually appeared before their eyes, everyone couldn't help but feel an indescribable fear.
However, these people were all experienced hunters with very strong mental fortitude, and none of them lost their composure due to excessive fear.
"Light gives birth to all beings, and all beings follow in its shadow. We pay homage to the great Lord of Light and Shadow!"
Sui Ying was the first to step forward, his voice filled with awe and excitement as he loudly saluted the mysterious figure.
As he finished speaking, the other hunters followed suit, bowing respectfully to the Lord of Light and Shadow.
"I am very disappointed with how well you have completed this mission!"
A voice that was neither male nor female rang out from under the long robe, containing dissatisfaction and coldness.
Upon hearing these words, all the hunters present, except for Suiying, were shaken.
Their eyes widened, their heads bowed in astonishment, a profound and indescribable sense of awe welling up within them.
The Lord of Light and Shadow they worshipped actually spoke.
The feeling was as if a deity they had suddenly worshipped had descended to earth and was conversing with them.
No, it's not like that.
The 'god' they themselves believed in appeared before them.
Moreover, in conversations with them.
"I wanted 100,000 people, but you only brought me 5,000. How are you going to compensate me for the rest?"
The voice beneath the robe continued, each word like a thunderclap, exploding in the hunter's ears.
After the Lord of Light and Shadow finished speaking, the Soul-Devouring Beast Emperor beneath its feet also roared.
"roar!"
A roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The Soul-Devouring Beast Emperor's open mouth was like a bottomless abyss, and the terrifying aura pressed down on everyone, making it impossible for them to even think of resisting.
Apart from Suiying, no one else knew why the Lord of Light and Shadow was so enraged.
However, if the Lord of Light and Shadow is angry, then it must be that these people of the gods have done something wrong and angered the Lord of Light and Shadow.
Everyone stared at Suiying in utter silence.
Here, the only one qualified to speak with the Lord of Light and Shadow is their captain.
At this moment, Suiying prostrated himself on the ground, his body trembling with fear, and cried out in a trembling voice, "Please, great Lord of Light and Shadow, calm your anger! I promise to find more Earthlings to offer to you!"
The reason he felt immense pressure was because the gaping maw of the Soul-Devouring Beast Emperor was right above his head.
He could even smell the nauseating stench emanating from that gaping maw of the abyss.
Suddenly, with a "plop," a drop of saliva twice the size of a cooking pot slid from the mouth of the Soul-Devouring Beast Emperor and landed right above Sui Ying's head on the ground, startling Sui Ying so much that he shuddered violently.
Suiying closed his eyes tightly and hurriedly continued to beg for mercy: "I beg the great Lord of Light and Shadow to give me another chance. Fifteen days! I will definitely complete the mission within fifteen days!"
"Too long!"
"Ten days! I will definitely complete the mission within ten days!"
Suiying quickly changed her tune.
"Ten days, I'll be waiting for you outside the Xingxuan in Ningchuan City!"
After the Lord of Light and Shadow finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the huge head that had been hovering above the shadow's head quickly rose and walked away into the distance.
"yes!"
Suiying quickly responded.
Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, Sui Ying slightly raised her head and secretly glanced at them.
The direction in which the Lord of Light and Shadow and the Soul-Devouring Beast Emperor left was the same as the location of Ningchuan City before the great catastrophe.
The lighthouse records that it was the starting point of the great catastrophe and the place where the first bloody vortex descended.
That place is forbidden to humans, but a paradise for soul-devouring beasts.
It is the core area of the Mana ecosystem, a place more terrifying than any other swirling vortex.
A place that no lighthouse hunter in history dared to set foot in.
