Volume 5 Sword Qi Reaches the Ninth Heaven, Taitian Fortress 1029

Time flew by, and before he knew it, Liu Ming had been in the Evil Ghost Path for five years.

A hundred miles north of Heifeng Valley, a majestic giant fortress rose from a plain, its area twice the size of Gold Light City. The ancient, dark walls stretched high and exuded a profound and mighty aura. Battle scars of various sizes marred the outer walls, seemingly narrating the fortress's turbulent past.

Atop the walls, rows of giant crossbows, catapults, and other large machinery stood ready. Surrounding the city were numerous cylindrical towers, each tens of meters high, engraved with countless runes that shimmered with multicolored lights.

This was Taitian Fortress, the largest stronghold of the Human Clan's Four Great Sects within the Evil Ghost Path.

At this moment, within the fortress, squads of cultivators clad in the armor of various legions could be seen walking by, their expressions grave. A tense atmosphere pervaded the entire stronghold.
