Chapter 1828: Dragon and Phoenix Came!

Dragon and Phoenix Came! . . .

"The trees… The fortress of trees of the Hall of Life and Death was unbelievable… That was crazy. I thought it was just a rumor. I thought it couldn't be as powerful as people said… It turns out people are not lying. The fortress is much more horrible than what people say!"

The man looked scared.

"Master told me to only make an attack and leave as soon as I can… I am lucky that I did exactly what he said. If I tried to get any closer, I would be trapped. Who would know that the protection of the Hall of Life and Death could be so unbreakable… I just made a small attack, and it responded with a great thunder strike… The attack was everywhere all of a sudden…

"If I left a little bit later, I should have died into ashes…"

The man still looked terrified. He bitterly smiled and said, "I thought it should be easy… Well, whoever was inside that fortress didn't even need to show up. The protection system of the fortress nearly killed me… The rise of the Hall of Life and Death is powerful…

"Anyway, I have completed the mission… I should return and report the crazy situation to Master… This is awkward, but I have to tell the truth… Gosh! For the first time in my life, I am so frustrated… I couldn't even see the target in person… What a failure…"

He bitterly smiled, swallowed a few medicines, and became a long rainbow moving away fast…

…

The gate of the Hall of Life and Death was closed. Nobody got in or out.

The man, Muzi, triggered the attack, but it didn't make any noise. Cha-Eun Xiao could sense it, but nobody else could. They were so concentrated in cultivation!

Cha-Eun Xiao also noticed something else.

The army of the Hall of Returning Nature had arrived at the City of Chaos.

Many high-level cultivators were flying in the sky, looking down at the Hall of Life and Death. However, none of them had any ideas of how to break the strong protection of the fortress…

Many of the people of the Hall of Returning Nature were smart and experienced. They all heard about the unbreakable protection of the fortress of trees. As they saw it now, they knew how powerful those giant trees could be. None of them dared to make a reckless move!

'Is the owner of the Monarch's Hall insane? How could he spend so much on just some Iron Maples? That is such a waste of money!'

However, maybe he was not that crazy. The Iron Maples had become a strong shield of the fortress. These people didn't even have the confidence to defeat the trees, not to mention dealing with the power of array formations… Nobody dared to put their lives at risk! They decided to wait!

Cha-Eun Xiao noticed the enemies because the dragon-shaped qi drew his attention.

However, he didn't want to start the war yet!

"Nobody attacks!" Cha-Eun Xiao coldly smiled and said, "Let's just watch the Hall of Returning Nature monkeys play."

People of the Monarch's Hall laughed. They stopped preparing for the fight to continue cultivating.

For the next ten days, the Hall of Returning Nature attacked over a hundred times!

However, they never succeeded. For two times, they were attacked by the powerful formations because they retreated slowly. Dozens of their good men died in the thunderclaps…

That was a relief to Master Guan and the other old masters.

They were deeply concerned for Cha-Eun Xiao when they knew the Hall of Returning Nature was approaching. The seven great ancestors of their clans were not around. Master Guan had made a decision that he would lead his entire clan to fight for the Monarch's Hall, even if it would put the entire clan at risk.

After some days, they were all surprised but relieved.

The Hall of Returning Nature seemed to be powerful, but it couldn't break the shield!

No matter how they tried to irritate Cha-Eun Xiao, the Hall of Life and Death just didn't send out a man. There weren't even guards…

The Hall of Returning Nature people were angry, but they just couldn't break it.

Hundreds of them had died in the thunder attacks of the power formations. They knew how powerful the protection of the Hall of Life and Death was, so they always sent people beyond Saint Origin Stage to make attacks. Hundreds of these good men died! The Hall of Returning Nature suffered a great loss!

Even though they had paid such a big price, the trees were unharmed. Some leaves fell, but not even a scratch was left on the tree trunks!

'God damn it! Are these still the Iron Maples? The most ordinary trees in the Human Realm Upon Heavens?'

'This is sick!'

After that, they realized the attacks of the fortress were much more horrible rather than the protection!

The protection of the fortress was powerful, and it shocked the people of the Hall of Returning Nature. They knew the enemies were near them, but they just couldn't hurt them in any way.

It was so frustrating.

The Hall of Returning Nature made over a hundred attacks. They first wanted to break into the fortress, but then they decided to just consume the energy of the fortress. All power formations needed energy, no matter how powerful they were. The center of a power formation was the most important part.

As long as they couldn't crack the center of the formation, they broke it. They could also destroy all parts of the formation. They knew that the center of the formation must be deep inside the fortress, and they could never reach it. That was why they chose to try to break the formation from outside!

However, after experiencing the unbelievably powerful thunder attacks of the formation, they knew it was impossible to break the formation from outside.

After that, they came up with another idea, which brought them hope. The thunder attacks of the fortress had killed many people of them, but it must have had consumed a lot of energy. If they could let the formation run out of energy, the formation died! They didn't think the Monarch's Hall could give the formation enough energy to run for a long time!

That was why they kept attacking for over a hundred times, but the counterattacks of the formation never stopped! The high-level cultivators of the Hall of Returning Nature couldn't stand it anymore. Many of them had died already. They were scared. Nobody wanted to die. In the end, they stopped attacking and called for some specialists to discuss the solutions.

They didn't know that the formation in the Hall of Life and Death was not just some ordinary formation. The power formation was the Great Formation of Stars, and Cha-Eun Xiao had planted countless pieces of Chaotic Purple Crystals. It would automatically absorb energy from the stars in the sky and store the energy. As long as the Great Formation of Stars and the three hundred sixty-five Chaotic Purple Crystals were there, the formation would never run out of energy!

Even the five Sky Kings had to make great efforts to break the shield if they were going to break in. If the five Sky Kings didn't have enough power, they wouldn't be able to break it!

The seven clans people were totally relieved, so they focused on their own business again.

'The Hall of Returning Nature asks for this. We won't get involved. Well, you will have to just stay there and wait before somebody comes out to fight you, idiots…'

The Hall of Returning Nature had lost a lot of people. They even dug some tunnels around the Hall of Life and Death to attack from under the ground. However, three thousand of their good men died underground. The seven old masters of the seven clans felt even more relieved when they knew it.

The fortress of trees didn't only protect the Hall of Life and Death from the attacks in the sky, but also shielded the Hall of Life and Death up from under the ground!

It wouldn't work attacking from the front side or the back side.

It wouldn't work attacking from the sky.

It wouldn't work even attacking from under the ground!

The formation was truly powerful!

The Great Formation of Stars wouldn't have any flaws!

The Hall of Returning Nature was in an awkward situation now.

They came fiercely, but in the end, there was nothing they could do to start a fight.

Their men died and died… It seemed the only thing they could do was to die…

That was awkward!

They didn't even have an excuse to retreat!

So many people had come, and how could they just retreat before having any actual fights? That was embarrassing.

Once they retreated, they lost more than they could imagine… There wasn't even a battle!

What else could they do anyway if they didn't leave?

Would they just stay here and keep sending their men to death? It would be a joke!

Some people suggested that they should stay, that they should cut off the supplies of the Monarch's Hall. However, it was absurd!

Cultivators needed incredible fewer supplies than normal people. The only thing they needed was spiritual qi. The fortress of trees could lack of anything but spiritual qi. In the Human Realm Upon Heavens, space items were everywhere. The Monarch's Hall must have stored a lot of daily supplies!

It would take years before the Monarch's Hall ran out of daily supplies. Furthermore, cultivators in the Monarch's Hall were powerful cultivators, who could live longer than ten years without eating anything…

Besieging the Monarch's Hall was definitely useless!

The leader on the Hall of Returning Nature's side was so frustrated. There was nothing he could do.

After a few days, Meng Wuzhen gathered hundreds of specialists who were good at power formations. When they checked the formations, they shook their heads.

"This is an incredible formation. It is impressive and horrific. I wouldn't even dare to try to crack it…"

"The formation has become a part of the sky and earth… It is extremely powerful. Attacking this formation means attacking the world… Attacking it is suicide!"

"This formation perfectly matches the pattern of the universe. I can't believe this is real. There is nowhere to crack it. I can't ask more than having my eyes on such a perfect formation in my life… Cracking it? That's a joke! How? Impossible! If only somebody could tell me how to crack it!"

"Please, tell Master Meng that I am sorry. This formation is way beyond my capability…"

"To crack this perfect formation, you have to get the man who built it, out! If he won't come out, do everything you can to get him out… I don't care what you do. He won't come out, then this formation won't be cracked!"

"Well, it is simple to crack this formation… A few men get inside and find the center. Break the center, and it will collapse… You can't? Well, then this is impossible!"

"To deal with the Monarch's Hall, you will have to change your plans. This formation is linked to the world. It automatically absorbs energy from the universe. Attacking it won't help. It would be suicide to make such a stupid attempt…"

"…"

The specialists came over like they were the most powerful men in the world, but in the end, they all left with a frustrated face.

Some of them stayed and kept watching the formation. These men were obsessed.

"I wonder who built this wonderful formation… I am in awe of him… I would beg for a lesson from him…"

"I just have a look at this thing, and it opens my eyes. This is great… This is a wonder…"

"When I came, I thought I could crack it. I was stupid. I was a fool!"

"I am going to spend more time on this. I just want to learn something…"

"…"

The specialists made the leader of the Hall of Returning Nature people even more frustrated.

He wanted to shout out the word in his head. "That's just a formation! Can any of you crack it? You are the best specialists in the entire world! What the hell…"

Now he truly didn't know what to do…

He couldn't attack or retreat… Nobody could crack the formation… The enemies weren't coming out… What could he do? He was in huge trouble!

When he was feeling awkward, something cheered the entire Hall of Returning Nature up…

One day.

High-level cultivators of the Hall of Returning Nature gathered together. They were going to attack the Hall of Returning Nature again from the sky. In fact, there was nothing they could do… It was more like observing the fortress from the sky…

Many of them felt embarrassed. 'Every day, we fly up here and do nothing! Are we here to watch some play or are we here to show everybody a comedy?'

'I am sure we aren't here to fight anyway!'

'This is the first time I ever feel so embarrassed!'

'Well… I would rather be teased than get killed by the formation… Those thunder attacks… Holy heavens… Even Undead Stage cultivators couldn't easily survive those strikes!'

When everybody was going slow, two rainbows showed up in the sky!

In fact, those weren't rainbows…

Everybody stared at them. They were shocked.

From the clouds, a giant purple golden dragon appeared!

It was a real giant dragon, tens of thousands feet long! When it showed up in the sky, its big round eyes stared at the people of the Hall of Returning Nature!

Those who weren't brave enough trembled as they saw the dragon.

"What… What's happening…" Somebody looked terrified. "Isn't it the Purple Dragon King from the Glaze Sky? Why is he here? He is in his dragon shape… He stares at us… Why? We didn't do anything to offend him, did we?"

That was not the only thing that scared them.

After the Purple Dragon King, another purple golden dragon showed up after him.

It was the Purple Dragon Queen!

The Purple Dragon Queen was only a little smaller than the Purple Dragon King. However, for the human beings, they were both giant dragons. The two purple golden dragons showed up at the same time, and they shined up the entire sky!

People of the Hall of Returning Nature felt that the dragon couple were quite fierce when staring at them…

"What's going on? We never offended the Glaze Sky… We never did anything that could irritate the Purple Dragon King…"

"That's right. Why are they so angry at us?"

"Messing with the Purple Dragon King is suicide… Now the Purple Dragon Queen is here too… What makes them both so angry? I don't think we have anything to do with it!"

…

As the dragon couple showed up, over twenty purple golden dragons appeared from the clouds!

At that moment, nobody in the City of Chaos dared to even breathe!

'What the hell is the Purple Dragon King going to do? Is the purple dragon clan moving to the City of Chaos? All the purple dragons in the clan have come! What the hell!'

'I am scared!'

'If all these dragons attack at the same time, the entire city will collapse!'

The Purple Dragon King seems to be hostile, but after he showed up, he did nothing. He must be waiting for something…

What was he waiting for?

Everybody held their breaths!

Silence waited for the heavy rain!

Then the rain came.

A phoenix howled in the sky!

After that, the clouds were shining high in the sky… Those weren't clouds… Those were colorful phoenixes! They were showing up, glittering in the clouds.

The phoenixes brought colorful lights to the sky.

The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King came!

The two kings of the Glaze Sky came to the city!

Both brought a group of followers!

The dragon clan and the phoenix clan had both brought the best members of the clans!

What were they going to do?

Were they going to destroy the City of Chaos?

Even if the seven great ancestors were in the City of Chaos, they wouldn't be able to defeat all those dragons and phoenixes easily!

The dragon howl and the phoenix howl resounded in the sky.

The next moment, the sky shined glaring golden lights. All the phoenixes and dragons were gone!

They became a human shape.

All the dragons and phoenixes had become a human shape, standing in the sky.

The Purple Dragon King was wearing his purple golden robe and purple golden crown, stepping on his purple golden shoes. The Purple Dragon Queen was wearing a purple golden dress and a light purple robe. She was beautiful.

Behind the couple, there were thirty-six men who were tall and strong like mountains.

The Golden Phoenix King was wearing a golden robe, and the robe astounded everybody on the ground.

'The Golden Nirvana Robe!'

It was a robe, known as the only thing that the great phoenix ancestor left to the world. It was made of the essence of the nirvana fire.

The Golden Phoenix King was a lot weaker than the five Sky Kings, but with this incredible robe, she could stay undefeated against the Sky Kings!

If she sacrificed herself to burn the robe, the robe would explode and killed the five Sky Kings easily!

It was unbelievable!

The Nirvana Robe was known as the most precious treasure of the phoenix clan!

The Golden Phoenix King was so beautiful, followed by ten men and ten women, who looked solemn.

Fifty-nine incredibly powerful cultivators of the dragon clan and the phoenix clan, including the dragon couple and the phoenix king had come to the city!

The weakest of them was at the Undead Stage!

It meant the weakest of them was stronger than Chihuo!

That was the true power of these two great clans!

The Hall of Returning Nature people were terrified.

'What are they doing here? Why are they here?'

'How come I feel such a strong hostility from them?'

'Are they coming on us? Or just the City of Chaos?'

'Yes. They must be coming to the city. We just happen to stay in the city… Please… Don't hurt us. We are too weak for you!'

'They aren't here on us!'

The dragons and phoenixes were coming down from the sky.

As they touched the floor, people of the Hall of Returning Nature automatically made ways for them.

They didn't know what these incredibly powerful cultivators were after, but they were sure it was a stupid idea to block them in their way.

The two clans people just moved ahead.

However, they stopped right before the people of the Hall of Returning Nature.

"Who are you?" The Purple Dragon King stared at them and said, "Why are you standing in my way? What are you after? Are you going to attack me? How dare you!"

People of the Hall of Returning Nature were terrified!

'What? How could we? We would never dare! What are you talking about?'

'We moved aside for you before you touched the floor! That was an incredibly wide road in front of you! There isn't even a mosquito standing in your way!'

'What are you talking about?'

'Why do you stop walking? It's an empty road…'

'Yes, we arrived before you did, but we never did anything to threaten you at all. What the hell? We wouldn't dare to mess with all these dragons, would we?'

'This is unbelievable…'

However, they couldn't say it out, because it was the Purple Dragon King they were talking about! Powerful people in the Glaze Sky were always unreasonable. The Purple Dragon King was a famous one!

"Please, your highness! We will leave immediately…" The leader of the Hall of Returning Nature people stayed humbled and said.

"What did you say?" The Purple Dragon King angrily said, "Are you saying that I am narrow-minded?"

The leader was shocked.

'When did I say that? Come on… I didn't… Besides, you are famous as an unreasonable person… However, I think everybody in the city has heard me. I said we would leave immediately… I never said anything about you, did I?'

'This is unbelievably unreasonable!'
