At this critical juncture, four pillars of light — green, yellow, black, and white — suddenly shot up into the sky above Fort Peaceful Sky. Then, a thunderclap rang out, and a monstrous burst of powerful spiritual pressure swept out in all directions.
Liu Ming was startled by this, and he hurriedly turned around to look.
Within the four pillars of light, he could clearly see four figures dressed in the robes of the four great legions' Grand Elders.
One of them was a yellow-robed old man with a dark complexion and a thick black beard. He was none other than Elder Fang of the Heaven's Work Sect.
In addition to him was an azure-robed old man with a red nose. He was most likely the Taiqing Gate's Heavenly Phenomenon Elder, Peng Kun.
The Haoran Academy's Heavenly Phenomenon Elder was a middle-aged man in a white scholar's robe with a cold expression.
The Dark Devil Sect's Elder was dressed in a strange attire. He was a burly, dark-skinned man with a black boulder on his back that was as tall as a grown man.
All of the Heavenly Phenomenon Elders wore solemn expressions, and each of them held a formation plate that radiated four-colored light in their hands.
All of a sudden, the four of them placed their formation plates in front of them in unison and began to chant in a low voice.
The incantation was obscure and difficult to understand. Although it was barely audible, it was extremely clear to the ears of the people down below, giving them a peculiar feeling.
In the next moment, four-colored light flew out from the formation plates in the hands of the four of them, and converged at a certain point between the four of them to form a slowly rotating four-colored ball of light.
Immediately afterward, the four old men moved their other fingers and each drew a strange symbol in the air.
The four strange symbols flashed and disappeared into the four-colored ball of light at the center.
"Rumble!"
The four-colored ball of light collapsed with a loud rumble, and a series of dazzling light erupted in a series of earth-shattering booms!
Such a huge commotion immediately caused most of the people around Fort Peaceful Sky to stop fighting in astonishment. Regardless of whether they were the human cultivators who were engaged in bitter battles or the evil ghost legions who had gone berserk, they all raised their heads to look up.
However, the entire sky above Fort Peaceful Heavens had been obscured by dazzling light, making it impossible to see what was going on.
However, after just a single breath of time, the dazzling light receded, and the projection of a mountain as massive as Mount Tai Yue appeared in the air, obscuring the entire space within a radius of around half a kilometer. It was a sight to behold, and it was an extremely majestic sight to behold!
The huge mountain peak was vivid and lifelike. The edges and corners of its surface were clearly visible. At a glance, one could even clearly see the verdant pine trees and flying cranes dancing around the mountain peak.
"Titan Heavens Formation!"
Liu Ming's heart stirred, and he hurriedly put the Scorpion and Fei 'er back into the leather pouch on his waist. At the same time, his mind quickly turned over.
Fort Peaceful Heavens had been jointly established by the four human legions, and the Titan Heavens Formation was the final trump card of the fort. According to the agreement, it could only be activated by the four Heavenly Phenomenon elders of the four legions. It possessed world-destroying power against ghostly beings, but it had many limitations. Furthermore, it had to be activated at least a hundred years before it could be activated.
All of a sudden, a resounding boom interrupted his train of thought.
The entire mountain in the sky above the fort trembled violently, and a series of gargantuan stone projections began to fall from the bottom of the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, countless illusory boulders shot out in all directions like meteors, raining down from the sky around the Fort of Titan Heavens.
At the same time, a terrifying aura that threatened to destroy all things swept forth!
When the ghost soldiers that were slightly closer to the city wall saw this, they all turned pale with fright. Many of the evil ghost commanders that were leading them shouted "retreat" without hesitation. Immediately, a large number of ghost soldiers turned around and fled into the distance.
However, the four Heavenly Phenomenon elders had already joined forces to activate the restriction formation around Fort Peaceful Heavens, so there was no way they would let them escape so easily.
In the next moment, a series of resounding booms rang out in all directions!
Regardless of the level of the ghostly soldiers that were struck by the massive stone projections, the phalanxes of ghostly soldiers were crushed into a pile of meat paste, and their souls dissipated into rolling clouds of grey smoke.
Even the Jin Dan Realm evil ghost commanders and Crystal Level evil ghost commandants were nothing in the face of the massive stone projections. In the best case scenario, they were severely injured, and in the worst case scenario, they were crushed into a pile of meat paste.
However, these massive stones were like nothing to the human cultivators, and they passed right through their bodies without causing the slightest bit of damage.
This caused the human cultivators who had been panicking to be overjoyed!
For a time, ghostly howls rang out from within the ferocious evil ghost legion!
At the same time, when these massive stones fell to the ground, they would explode on their own, transforming into balls of white light.
As soon as the ghostly beings that hadn't been struck by the massive stone projections came into contact with the white light, the ghostly Qi around their bodies began to burn incessantly, transforming them into wisps of white smoke that drifted up into the air.
Some of the low-level ghosts were directly burned to ashes by the white light. Although a few of the high-level malevolent spirit commanders reacted quickly and retreated when the boulders fell, they were still injured by the white light that shot out in all directions. Their bodies were set ablaze with raging flames.
For a time, there were endless howls of pain. In less than a moment, thousands of ghostly soldiers were turned into rolling clouds of grey ghostly mist by the massive stone projections and the white light.
The few remaining poltergeist ghosts, under the crushing of the boulders, also had expressions of pain, but they could still endure for a moment. However, under the sweep of the white light formed by the boulders, the green skin on their bodies peeled off layer by layer.
After a few breaths of time, these invulnerable zombies and ghosts also turned into grey mist and dissipated on the spot.
The power of the Formation of Firm Sky left both the ghost army and the four ancient sects dumbfounded!
In the blink of an eye, half of the tens of thousands of evil ghost soldiers had turned into rolling ghostly mist!
Cheers immediately rang out from the human troops of the four great armies!
After the clamor, the tens of thousands of evil ghosts that had been fighting the puppet army a little further away from the city wall finally managed to escape from the range of the massive stones.
However, these ghostly soldiers only retreated to a place about ten kilometers away from Fort Peaceful Sky before they gathered more ghost soldiers and began to set up camp. Soon, the entire fort was firmly surrounded.
After confirming that the ghost army had temporarily retreated, the four Celestial Phenomenon cultivators suspended in midair stopped their hand seals. The massive mountain projection above Fort Peaceful Sky abruptly stopped its falling boulders.
However, at this moment, the massive mountain projection had shrunk by more than two-thirds of its original size. More than half of the originally lofty and undulating mountain had disappeared, leaving only a portion of the mountain behind.
In midair, the old man surnamed Fang of the Celestial Work Sect stroked his dark beard and sighed softly. "If it wasn't for the last resort, we wouldn't have used this Formation of Firm Sky."
"Now this formation can barely hold on for a while, temporarily deterring the ghost army from launching an attack. However, if the reinforcements don't arrive soon, I'm afraid that this Fort Peaceful Sky …" The dark-skinned man of the Demon Mystic Sect said solemnly as he looked in the direction of the retreat of the ghost army in the distance.
As soon as he said this, the red-nosed old man of the Taiqing Gate and the middle-aged man with dashing eyebrows of the Haoran Academy also looked a little gloomy.
"I think we should first inform the major cities of the news, and at the same time, order all the disciples to take a rest as soon as possible. This time, the evil ghost army came prepared. Obviously, they are determined to win. I'm afraid that once the Formation of Firm Sky disappears, these evil ghosts will immediately come back." The red-nosed old man of the Taiqing Gate suddenly suggested after thinking for a while.
"Elder Peng is right. Now we can only take one step at a time." The middle-aged man with dashing eyebrows of the Haoran Academy nodded and said.
…
After the battle temporarily ended, Liu Ming greeted Xiaowu and went straight back to his temporary residence.
Although this battle didn't last long, it was full of danger and unforeseen events, which made him feel a little mentally and physically exhausted.
Liu Ming took the elixir in the secret room and sat cross-legged to adjust his breath for half a day before his spiritual power was restored to a full state again.
After opening his eyes, he recalled everything that happened after he entered the Evil Ghost Realm, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It seems that my luck is not good. Not long after I entered the Evil Ghost Realm, I encountered the once-in-a-century Ghost Army catastrophe.
Now I haven't encountered the opportunity to advance to Jin Dan, but I have been involved in this catastrophe one after another.
And Luo Hu, who promised to help me advance, has not been heard from so far. No matter how I call him, there is no response.
"About the advancement, I can only put it aside for the time being. Let's get through the current difficulties first!"
Liu Ming was also a decisive and daring person. After thinking about it, he immediately put this matter aside. With a thought, he released Divine Thought to check the situation of Scorpion and Fei 'er in the soul-recovering bag around his waist.
Speaking of it, this battle was not without gains. The two spiritual pets took advantage of the invasion of the ghosts to absorb a lot of yin qi from the ghosts, and they also took the opportunity to devour a lot of ghost remains. This time, both their cultivation and spiritual power had increased a lot compared to before.
It seems that if the two spiritual pets continue to train with me in this Evil Ghost Realm, the advancement is just around the corner.
Now after Scorpion swallowed Si Chen's dead egg, he could easily crush all the ghosts below Jin Dan with the cultivation of the Crystallization Period later stage. Even the ordinary Jin Dan State evil ghost commander didn't dare to fight against him. If he advanced to Jin Dan in the future, his strength would definitely be more terrifying.
In the following time, he closed his eyes lightly and remained motionless with an expressionless face.
… …
The news that Peaceful Sky Fortress was besieged by the main force of the Evil Ghost Army quickly reached the ears of the army leaders of the four main cities.
The leaders of the four armies were shocked. Only then did they suddenly realize that the Evil Ghost Army's true goal was Peaceful Sky Fortress, an important hub of the four main cities. The earlier attack on the four main cities and the surrounding fortresses was just a tactic to confuse the humans.
Once the fortress was destroyed, the four main cities would immediately be isolated, and it was very likely that they would be attacked one by one.
Understanding this, when the four armies' upper echelons were about to take action, outside Golden Light City and the other three cities, countless Malevolent Spirit Troops once again appeared and surrounded them.
