"Gah—!"
Several demon-like creatures charged into the depths of the forest. Trees toppled in swathes wherever they passed, and countless Soul Beasts fled in every direction.
In an instant, the entire Sunset Forest descended into unprecedented chaos.
Screams, roars, and shrieks mingled together, echoing through the sky.
Tang Hao stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at everything.
He saw a middle-aged Soul Master hunting Soul Beasts in the forest with several young people.
The next second—
An Abyssal Creature plummeted from the sky and tore the middle-aged Soul Master in half.
The young people didn't even have time to scream before they were swallowed whole.
Blood stained the ground red.
Tang Hao's legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Now he understood.
Beyond the door lay the Abyss.
Disaster.
The Black Empress Clan looked down at him, her eyes full of mockery.
"What? Regretting it?"
Tang Hao opened his mouth, but no words came out.
The Black Empress Clan smiled and turned away.
"Live well, human."
"When the Abyssal Army descends, you'll see what true power is."
Her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Only Tang Hao remained, slumped in a pool of blood.
Outside the Sunset Forest.
In a small town, people were going about their lives as usual.
Suddenly, someone pointed at the distant sky and cried out in alarm.
"What is that?!"
Everyone looked up.
A vast black mass was flying toward them from the distant sky.
It wasn't a bank of storm clouds.
It was... creatures.
Countless creatures.
The people froze.
The next second—
Screams erupted all around.
"Run!"
"Soul Beasts! Soul Beasts are here!"
"Help!"
The town plunged into chaos.
The Abyssal Creatures swooped down, killing everyone they saw.
Blood stained every street in the town red.
The news spread quickly.
