Amidst the overall contraction of Shadow City, the Heavenly Venerable was also held back by the battlefront on the Heavenly Alliance side, unable to return for support.
Lin Xin was simply unstoppable.
Soon, a massive, pitch-black fortress covered with spikes appeared on the plain.
The fortress seemed to sense Lin Xin's arrival, and a black beam of light shot skyward from the topmost tower.
Hiss!!
The beam pierced through the clouds, connecting the heavens and the earth.
"This is the third checkpoint, Huiyang City. Are you the Divine Monarch Sherie of the Heavenly Alliance?"
A sharp female voice shouted from within the fortress.
Lin Xin slightly paused, squinting at the black beam.
For once, he actually felt a hint of threat from it.
"Who are you?"
His voice, without any amplification, was already like thunder, shaking the ground and shattering many stones.
Sound waves traveled far, causing the fortress to drop a large amount of dust.
