Early the next morning, at Fort Taitian.
As soon as a sliver of light appeared in the dusky sky, a series of urgent shouts suddenly rang out from the surrounding walls.
"Ghost soldiers have been spotted in the east!"
"A large number of ghost soldiers have gathered in the north! The same goes for the northwest! "
"Oh no, there's a ghost army in the south …"
At this time, a loud "weng" "weng" sound of the bell reverberated throughout the fortress.
Immediately afterward, a long and sonorous male voice rang out in the air, clearly ringing in everyone's ears.
"Be careful, a large number of ghost soldiers have appeared around the fort. Everyone, return to your positions immediately!"
At this moment, Liu Ming was meditating in his temporary residence. As soon as he heard the bell chime, he didn't dare to tarry and immediately rose to his feet, rushing toward the central plaza of the fort.
At this moment, there were already seven tower-like buildings that were several times taller than the surrounding walls erected in the central plaza of Fort Taitian.
These buildings were distributed in a circular pattern, and each of them was two to three hundred feet tall. However, the one in the center was clearly taller than the six surrounding it. The surface of the building was hexagonal, and each surface was extremely smooth. There were some special runes inscribed on it, and there was a faint spiritual light flowing through it.
At this moment, at the top of the giant tower in the center, there was a shimmering golden ball floating in the air. It was slowly rotating and emitting faint golden light. Below the ball, the silver-haired young man, Cao Zhanghe, was sitting with his legs crossed.
When Liu Ming rushed to the bottom of the tower, Cao Zhanghe's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. "Younger Brother Liu, come to the giant tower in front of me on the left."
When Liu Ming heard this, he immediately leaped up and landed on the tower that Cao Zhanghe had pointed to.
A hexagonal restriction formation that almost filled the entire top platform appeared in front of him. On five of its corners, there were already azure armored Jin Guangjun cultivators sitting cross-legged, and Xiaowu was among them. However, on the left corner, there was no one.
At this moment, there was a foot-wide golden light mirror floating in front of everyone. Meanwhile, more and more people were arriving from the five surrounding towers. Under Cao Zhanghe's arrangement, they leapt onto the other towers.
When Xiaowu saw Liu Ming, she nodded at him and looked at the empty corner.
Liu Ming understood. Without a word, he walked to the empty corner and sat down cross-legged. Like the others, he took out the Golden Light Mirror and cast a spell on it. The Golden Light Mirror immediately floated in front of him and stopped moving.
In less than a moment, there were six Jin Guangjun cultivators in each of the six towers. Thirty-six golden mirrors emitted a strong golden light. From afar, the top of the six towers were shining with golden light, and it was impossible to look at them directly.
Cao Zhanghe stood up and looked around. Seeing that everyone was in position, he immediately said in a low voice, "Everyone is in position in the Golden Light Formation. Brothers, when the time comes, please listen to my command and activate the formation. There must be no mistakes!"
Then, with a flash of golden light, two golden formation flags appeared in his hands. Then, he closed his eyes and sat there like an old monk in meditation, motionless.
When Liu Ming heard this, he looked around and found that the surrounding walls were crowded with people. Most of them were cultivators from the other three armies dressed in yellow, white, and black. They were busy preparing for the upcoming battle.
The four corners of the fort were the Formation Eyes of the Great Formation of Fort Peaceful Sky. There were more than ten disciples of the Grand Spirit Army in white armor at each corner of the fort. Under these people's feet, there was a circular formation that glowed with a faint silver light. The runes on the surface were very eye-catching.
These people held formation plates and formation flags, and they were chanting, constantly injecting spiritual power into the circular formation under their feet.
At the same time, on the four walls, the disciples of the Heaven Work Sect in yellow robes were constantly releasing all kinds of puppets. With a flash of five-colored spiritual light, the puppets appeared at the foot of the wall in front of them. Among them, there were several puppets that were as large as small mountains.
All the puppets formed a row in front of the four walls, and also became the first barrier in front of the fort.
Beside the disciples of the Heaven Work Sect, there were black shadows surrounded by black gas. They were the disciples of the Demon Mystic Sect.
In addition to these elite disciples of the various sects, the original garrison disciples also appeared in the giant crossbows and cylindrical towers. Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.
When Liu Ming saw this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. After withdrawing his gaze, he released his divine sense and began to investigate the situation around the fort.
At this moment, all around Fort Peaceful Sky was a rolling gray fog. Within the fog, there were densely packed black dots of various sizes forming neat square formations. At a glance, there were tens of thousands of people!
Although he couldn't determine the specific situation of the enemy's formation, the pressure that the entire army of evil spirits exuded was unprecedented. It seemed that the enemy had been planning this for a long time.
This caused Liu Ming to involuntarily furrow his brows, and a slightly cold expression appeared on his face.
At this moment, a series of rumbling sounds came from the corners of the surrounding walls.
The circular spell formation beneath the feet of the Righteous Spirit Army disciples suddenly shone with brilliant light. Swathes of silver light rose up from within the spell formation, and as they converged in midair, they gradually formed a huge silver barrier of light that enveloped the entire Fort Titan Heaven.
However, in the next moment, the rolling gray clouds in all directions suddenly began to violently roil, blotting out the sky and covering the earth as they closed in on the fort. Then, the roars of evil spirits and the howls of ghosts rang out incessantly, giving off a frightening aura.
The army of evil spirits had clearly discovered what the humans were doing. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that the fort's defensive formation had only just been activated and hadn't stabilized yet to attack.
At this moment, Cao Zhanghe's voice sounded, "Golden Light Formation, activate!"
He waved the formation flags in his hands at lightning speed, and he uttered a strange and profound incantation. The golden Good Fortune Bowl hovering above his head glowed with golden light.
Liu Ming's expression turned serious. He muttered an incantation, and one incantation sign after another was launched into the golden mirror in front of him.
On the platform, the six golden mirrors reflected light from afar and began to tremble of their own accord. Six beams of golden light shot up from the surface of the mirror and converged at a single point in the air, forming a golden ball of light that enveloped the six of them.
In just a few moments, the gray clouds in all directions had passed over the distant mountain range and appeared on the plains outside of Fort Peaceful Sky. They were only a few kilometers away from the fort.
Suddenly, a mournful ghost cry rang out from the army of ghosts.
All the malevolent spirits seemed to have received an order. In an instant, their shouts resounded through the heavens and earth. The densely packed malevolent spirit commandants led groups of ghostly soldiers, and like a black wave, they charged towards the city walls of the Stronghold.
"Hmph, just in time!"
A fierce expression flashed across Cao Zhanghe's face. He waved the formation flags in his hands, and the spinning Good Fortune Bowl above his head suddenly shot out six beams of golden light towards the six towers where Liu Ming and the others were.
Liu Ming only saw a flash of golden light before his eyes. A beam of golden light landed on the mirror in his hand, and with another refraction, it turned into six beams of golden light that shot out.
Thirty-six beams of light shot out from each tower. More than two hundred beams of golden light from the six towers immediately illuminated the entire sky above the fort. The densely packed beams of golden light intertwined and turned into a giant golden net that shrouded in all directions.
A few thousand feet away from the northern wall, there was a "pu" sound. Several beams of golden light swept past, directly turning a phalanx of dozens of Liquid Level ghost soldiers and an evil spirit commandant into black smoke.
Everyone who saw the effect immediately channeled the Fa Li in their bodies into the golden light mirror in front of them. Pieces of golden light intertwined into a net and continued to sweep in all directions.
For a time, mournful ghost cries rang out incessantly. Wherever the golden light passed, the void suddenly tightened, and countless ghosts were instantly turned into flying ashes.
These beams of golden light were like golden dragons that soared into the sky, crashing and crashing between the rolling gray clouds formed by the ghost army phalanx.
As a large number of ghosts were killed, even the evil spirit commander of the Jin Dan Realm didn't dare to face it head-on. He just kept dodging the golden light.
The power of the Golden Light Formation was so great that all the human cultivators on the fort couldn't help but rejoice.
However, Cao Zhanghe, who was in the middle of the tower, frowned slightly, his face grave.
Although the Golden Light Formation was very effective against ghosts, there were simply too many ghosts around it, and it didn't seem to be defeated at all.
Gradually, some of the ghost army discovered that there were gaps between the golden light beams. Taking advantage of these gaps, countless ghosts continued to charge toward the silver defensive formation that protected Fort Taitian.
At this moment, the giant puppets that were standing in front of the city wall also began to move.
There was a loud rumbling sound as the giant puppets in mechanical armor lifted their cumbersome legs and slowly walked away from the city wall.
These giant puppets weren't adept at attacking, but their defensive abilities were astonishing. They didn't fear the ghost army's attacks at all.
Beside the giant puppets, puppet warriors in yellow armor and beast puppets of all shapes and sizes leaped into the air and dove into the gray ghost clouds. They clashed with the ghost army and suppressed the ghost army's momentum.
Demonic Qi flickered on the city wall. Taking advantage of the fact that the ghost army was blocked by the puppets, the Demon Mystic Sect disciples in the Demon Subduing Army also took out all kinds of demonic weapons or unleashed demonic arts. Waves of demonic Qi and black light shot toward the approaching ghost army.
For a time, the entire surroundings of Fort Taitian were filled with golden light beams of various colors. Amidst the gray ghost clouds, the sounds of fierce fighting rose and fell. The scene was extremely chaotic.
Just as the two sides were locked in battle, the plains between the northern wall of Fort Taitian and the line of defense of the puppets suddenly shook violently.
The entire ground seemed to be torn apart, and seven or eight depressions that were several meters in diameter appeared.
Immediately afterward, a series of loud explosions rang out from the depressions, and clouds of gray ghost mist rose into the sky.
Cao Zhanghe looked around from the tower in the center and exclaimed, "This aura … Crap, it's ghost earthworms. It looks like they have reinforcements!"
