Chapter 1636: Beat Them to Death

Gong Sun Lang was embarrassed, and so was Piji Nu.
They knew that Yao Mountain territory was tough, and not easy to deal with. But, they never though that this could be so difficult. They were stuck a thousand miles away from the city, and weren't allowed to take even one step forward.
The great army under Gong Sun Lang's command could not even move an inch forward. Of course, this wasn't because of the warning from the stone man, neither because of the flag standing on the ground or the pattern on the flag. It was purely because of the heaven and earth great formation.
Controlled by the city, the heaven and earth great formation covered the area a thousand miles around Yao Mountain City, starting from the outermost city wall. Staying an inch away from this area, one would not be affected by the great formation at all, but stepping in this area for even one inch, one would immediately suffer a full-strike from the formation.
Gong Sun Lang wasted three days and the lives of countless warriors of his, but no one under his command managed to make even three meters far into the coverage of the formation.
Earlier on at the frontline, one hundred and eighty thousand warriors were killed by thunder bolds, torn into pieces. After that, Gong Sun Lang began sending troops to try and approach the city from all directions. Each troop had a thousand warriors. The heaven and earth great formation was ever-changing. Some warriors died under giant trees, some were smashed by rocks, some were suffocated in sands, while some were struck to death by auroras, thunderstorms, ices, water and all other types of defenses. All warriors under Gong Sun Lang's command were badly frightened.
Within three days, Gong Sun Lang lost seventy to eighty percent of his warriors, then finally, gave up on trying under Piji Nu's suggestion. He was wasting lives after all.
”This is…troublesome!” Standing on top of the flying fort, Gong Sun Lang gazed at the towering city wall of Yao Mountain City. From thousand miles away, the city wall looked like a dark line on the horizon. Occasionally, the dark line sparkled brightly, as the great formation changed its defenses.
High up in the air, the stars glowed in broad daylight. Pure and strong star power poured down in streams, flowing into Yao Mountain City.
In addition, a divine gate emerged above the city. Through the gate, the divine heaven and earth formation connected with the formation in Yao Mountain City. Due to the materials and builders, the power of the heaven and earth formation in Yao Mountain City was less than ten percent as great as the power of the one in the heaven.
However, supported by the divine formation, the defense provided by the heaven and earth great formation was seventy percent powerful as the original one. Back in the ancient time, the divine heaven and earth formation used to daunt all living beings in the world. How could Gong Sun Lang and an army of Gong Sun Family warrior ever break such a powerful formation?
”This distance, disgusting!” Piji Nu stood by Gong Sun Lang's side, helplessly shaking his head.
A thousand miles; except for master archers from the Eastern Wasteland, no one could shoot an arrow so far. Among all armaments, including the large-scale ballistae and all kinds of complicatedly structured ones, nothing could attack the city from such a long distance.
Within the scope of ability of the non-humankind, the only thing able to launch long-range attacks to Yao Mountain City were cities of great calamity. However, Yu Huo wanted as many people to die in Yao Mountain territory as possible, the more the better. So, how could he ever reinforce Gong Sun Lang?
