The two battlefields were in full swing and were very intense.
Now that both sides were stable, it could be said that they were in a stalemate.
The allied army of the Third Heaven did not dare to attack the Demonic Puppets, and the Demonic Abyss army could not break through the defensive circle formed by the allied army.
Both sides did not send out powerhouses recently. At most, they sent out Lord and Demon Master level powerhouses. Both sides seemed to be competing in terms of military strength to see which side could not hold on first, or both sides were testing the full strength of the other side, and after that, they would attack.
Time passed in the cruel battles. In the blink of an eye, the Demonic Abyss army had invaded for two years, and both sides had also fought hard for two years.
The casualties on the Third Heaven side exceeded three hundred million. Of course, this was including the human civilians killed in the Demonic Abyss. The army had at least tens of millions of casualties.
The Demonic Abyss side also suffered heavy casualties, but no one knew how many soldiers there were. It felt like there was an endless stream.
It was not that the Third Heaven did not send strange people and strange races to investigate, but no matter how many scouts they sent, in the end, not one returned.
There were a few very strange races in the Third Heaven. For example, there was a strange race that could transform into small insects. This was originally inconspicuous, but it was also the easiest to make people relax. After all, there were many small insects all over the mountains and plains. Who would pay attention to this?
However, this race sent thousands of people to infiltrate the Demonic Abyss camp from the sky, the ground, underground, and countless places in the water. In the end, not a single one came out.
There were also races that could turn invisible, some could drill into the void, some could turn into a gust of wind, all kinds of strange races entered, and not a single one came out alive.
The two great Demonic Puppets were like the Yellow Springs of Hell. Once you entered, you could not come out. The Great Elder of the last race was angry and personally went in, but in the end, he did not come out and died in the Demonic Puppets.
There were also some Overlords who went to investigate, but they did not dare to go deep. They only investigated the periphery. Unfortunately, the Demonic Qi in the Demonic Abyss was too thick, and even Overlord Divine Will could not penetrate it.
Even Overlords did not dare to go in now. Before investigating clearly, rashly entering would be easy to be killed.
The main concern was that there were Demon Ancestor level powerhouses in the Demonic Abyss. That would be very tragic.
The war was in a stalemate. Although many people died in this war, it was easy to cultivate strong people. Many young people on both battlefields rose to prominence, attracting the attention of the major forces.
Some people who originally had no fame at all suddenly became famous, and their names resounded all over the world.
Some busybodies had created a Rookie List, ranking the ten most popular rookies in order to encourage more youths to fight their enemies and work hard to become stronger.
"Brother Lu!"
In Lu Li's tent, Qi Dingdong sneaked in like a kitten.
Over the past two years, Qi Dingdong had rarely taken the initiative to see Lu Li. She was well-behaved and sensible. She knew that if she pestered Lu Li, he would become the target of public criticism and it would affect his cultivation.
Lu Li was a bit surprised to see her sneak into his tent all of a sudden.
Although she had changed her appearance, someone would definitely notice it.
Seeing Lu Li's expression, Qi Dingdong grinned and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry. I found a substitute and he is wandering around outside my tent right now. I have already asked someone to move the other flies away."
Lu Li forced a smile. In order to see him, Qi Dingdong made it seem like he was having an affair. Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Say it. What is it?"
"Ha, ha!"
Qi Dingdong suddenly took out a scroll and said, "Brother Lu, congratulations. You are No. 10 on the Rookie List. This is a list that includes all the young warriors at the Third Heaven. It is issued by a super force and it is very authoritative."
"What is it?"
For the past two years, apart from cultivation, Lu Li had been fighting. He never paid attention to the outside world. Apart from occasionally asking about the situation at the Chilly Winter Land because he was concerned about the Yin Family and Qin Zhan, he never asked about anything else.
He took out the list and glanced at it. Suddenly, his eyes glowed. He saw two familiar names, the Dragon Antelope and Exquisite Elephant!
Lu Ling was No. 6 and Exquisite Elephant was No. 7. His code name, God of Massacre, was No. 10.
"The No. 1 is John Doe?"
Lu Li frowned. He was confused. Demon Emperor Doe?
Of course not. They were all of the Demon Emperor Realm. Why was John Doe the No. 1?
Qi Dingdong explained, "Nobody knows his name. He never talks to anyone, nor does he listen to the orders of the army. He just roams around the Asmodians and hunts down warriors from the Asmodian Abyss.
He comes and goes without a trace. He is young and strong. He is only at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation but he is more powerful than an average lord. "
Qi Dingdong told Lu Li what he had learned, "This man should be from a special race. Some people think he is from the Yi Human Race, one of the 10 ancient races. But the Yi Human Race has been extinct for a million years. This man does not show himself so we don't know for sure."
"Yi Human Race?"
Lu Li vaguely remembered that the Yi Human Race did exist among the 10 ancient races. It had been extinct for many years. For a million years, there was no news about the Yi Human Race. It was almost forgotten by the world.
"The No. 2 is Dong Yeying. He has been famous for many years. He is the descendant of a powerful warrior of the Emperor Realm, Dong Yenu. He is also at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation and is as strong as a lord. He has a Sovereign Weapon …"
"The No. 3 is Zhu Fan. He is the descendant of Emperor Zhu Tian. He is powerful and has a Sovereign Weapon …"
"The Qi Family is shameful. None of us are on the list. But Lu Li, you are the Patriarch of Honor of our family. You have done us proud. You must work harder and try to be among the top three!"
Qi Dingdong couldn't stop talking and Lu Li was able to make sense of what he was saying. The top 10 on the leaderboard were not randomly chosen.
These ten people had all achieved great military merits. Every one of them had clearly written down how many Demon Abyss soldiers they had killed, how many Demon Generals they had killed, and even the first three had killed Demon Lords!
Realm and reputation were of no use. Duels and challenges were useless. Only those who could kill Abyss Devil warriors could be regarded as truly powerful and admired by the world.
"Brother Lu, Ling Long is impressive."
Pointing at the map on the scroll, Qi Dingdong said, "Over the past two years, Linglong has killed 63 Demon Generals and 70,000 to 80,000 Demon Abyss soldiers. She is second only to the Dragon Antelope of the Dragon Rebel Tribe. I guess it won't be long before Linglong reaches the Lord Realm."
"Yes, Ling Long is impressive!"
Lu Li nodded. Inside, he was a bit disappointed. Before Ling Long left, she said she would come back in half a year.
But it had been two years. Not only did she not come back, she didn't even bring any news with her. It was as if she had completely cut herself off from Lu Li and become a stranger.
"This is good!"
Lu Li thought about it and sighed. If they continued to flirt like before, it would be harmful to Ling Long.
