Time flew by in a blink of an eye.
Six years had passed. The Third Heaven was still peaceful. The two battle zones didn't make much progress and there was no large-scale attack from the Abyss of Demons.
The leaders of the Abyss of Demons were highly intelligent. They didn't attack rashly, either because they weren't confident or they were up to something.
Many in the Third Heaven were confused. Why didn't the humans fight back?
After so many years of fighting, the humans had trained many warriors and powerful warriors. It was time to fight back.
Were they waiting for the Demon Abyss soldiers to take the initiative to attack, or were they waiting for them to retreat?
Since the Abyss of Demons had invaded, they would not retreat easily.
The fact that the Abyss of Demons hadn't launched any large-scale attacks over the years suggested that they were planning something bigger.
The humans had sent many scouts into the Abyss of Demons to investigate. But what about the demons?
The human scouts in the Z Realm couldn't find anything.
What if there was another demon?
Another altar was built in the Z Realm to summon the Lord of Demons?
That would be the doomsday of the humans.
Countless letters of challenge were sent to Emperor Candle Heaven and Reincarnation Emperor. The human armies were getting more and more agitated.
But the two commanders gave the same order. They told the human armies to stay calm and wait for further orders.
Not only the average warriors, but some of the emperors were confused as well.
The Abyss of Demons hadn't launched a large-scale attack yet. The humans should try to fight back. Not a full-scale attack, but at least a tentative one. What if the Abyss of Demons was plotting something big?
The Reincarnation Emperor and the Candle Heaven Emperor didn't give any explanation. They only suppressed the soldiers and experts to not move recklessly.
It was peaceful outside and so was the Reincarnation Mountain.
Both Xiang Linglong and Lu Ling left the Reincarnation Mountain. She went to the Northern Monster City to cultivate. She had learned a lot in the year she spent at the Reincarnation Mountain.
She had comprehended a very strong True Intent. If she could successfully comprehend it, then her strength would definitely increase.
Lu Ling left the Reincarnation Mountain as well. Qi Dingdong said that she could ask Reincarnation Emperor to let her cultivate here all year round. But she didn't want to owe too many favors.
She teleported back to the City of Mystic Armor through the portal built by the Reincarnation Emperor. Since Lu Li was cultivating at the Reincarnation Mountain, she would go back to the City of Mystic Armor to take command. In this way, both she and Lu Li would feel more at ease.
On the Lu Clan's side, most of their people had been transferred from the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven. There were almost ten thousand of them, but they were all very weak. Many of them only had the battle prowess of one or two tribulations.
This was something that couldn't be helped. The Lu Clan was originally a clan in the mortal world. Many of them were mortals, and they didn't have the chance to become gods. It was Ling Qingyan and Pan Yuqin who brought them to the God Realm.
Later on, he went to the Second Heaven and barely managed to raise his strength. Now that he was in the Third Heaven, his strength naturally couldn't be looked down upon.
The group of country bumpkins were not used to the Third Layer of Heaven. At first, they were terrified.
However, they discovered that although their strength was low, their status was very high.
Many big and small clans in the vicinity were trying to curry favor with them?
After living in the Mystic Armor City for half a year, many members of the Lu Family had figured out that the Lu Family had a high status in the Chilly Winter Continent.
At the very least, his status in the Yin family's territory was very high.
The Yin Family was very polite to the Lu Clan. The other clans in the nearby fields were even more polite to the Lu Clan. They gave them all kinds of gifts and tried to curry favor with them. Many young ladies of small families wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Lu Clan.
Many young ladies tried to flirt with the Lu Clan.
Even though they were young ladies of small families, many of them were warriors of the Third or Fourth Tribulation. On the other hand, most of the disciples of the Lu Family were only warriors of the First or Second Tribulation. This made many disciples of the Lu Family complacent. Some of them began to commit crimes.
Fortunately, Lu Renhuang and Lu Ling were here. Lu Ling abhorred this kind of situation. After discussing with Lu Renhuang, they grounded those who had committed crimes for a hundred years. One disciple was even executed in public.
The disciples of the Lu Family became obedient at once. Lu Ling's cruelty had shocked everyone.
Lu Ling was not interested in forming a marriage alliance with a small family. The Yin Family had made it clear that they wanted to form a marriage alliance. Naturally, Lu Ling would go with the Yin Family.
Even young ladies and young masters from a branch of the Lu Family could benefit the Lu Family disciples.
After some discussion with the Yin Family, the Lu Family and the Yin Family held several banquets and activities. Both sides sent out dozens of young masters and young ladies. After more than a dozen banquets and activities, dozens of people liked each other.
The young masters and young ladies of the Lu Family were not powerful. But the young masters and young ladies of the Yin Family didn't look down on them because their surname was Lu.
Lu Li was at the Emperor Realm and he had a close relationship with the Reincarnation Emperor. Lu Li had a promising future. In the future, the entire Yin Family would have to rely on Lu Li.
Therefore, forming a marriage alliance with the Lu Family was not only a mission for the family but also a great benefit for the Yin Family.
At the very least, after the marriage, the young masters and young ladies of the Yin Family would enjoy more resources.
Of course, the young masters and young ladies of the Yin Family were all from a branch of the Lu Family. Young masters like Yin Tianfen and Yin Chengrui wouldn't marry young ladies of the Lu Family randomly. If there were people like Lu Ling, Yin Tianfen would be more than happy.
Yin Ruolan wouldn't marry other young masters of the Lu Family. Apart from Lu Li, she didn't like the rest of the Lu Family.
Now that the Yin Family had gained four areas, their strength grew. Many warriors came to join them.
They all knew that the Yin Family was in dire need of manpower. They had so many territories that needed people to guard and manage. Now was the best time for them to join the Yin Family.
More powerful warriors wanted to join the Lu Family. There were three warriors of the Sixth Tribulation but Lu Ling didn't want any of them.
The Lu Family's foundation was too weak. What if the warriors of the Sixth Tribulation they recruited were spies?
The Lu Family had no territory to support warriors of the Sixth Tribulation.
Yin Family and Qi Family always had two patriarchs at the City of Mystic Armor. They didn't have to worry about their safety.
The Cang Family was finished. There were still many powerful warriors on the battlefield but they were no longer a threat to the Yin Family. Everything seemed to be going in the right direction.
During the six years, Lu Li had made great progress. Three years ago, he had passed the sixth Heaven's Tribulation and reached the Lord Realm.
He had made some progress in the refinement of his Dharma Form and his physical body was improved as well. In two or three years at most, he could attempt the seventh Heaven's Tribulation. When he succeeded, he would be a real warrior of the Emperor Realm.
Another year and a half passed. The peace of the Third Heaven was finally broken!
The Asmodian warriors of the Demonic Abyss at the southern theater of operations suddenly launched a large-scale attack. Tens of millions of them were mobilized at once and they smashed at the human defense line like a storm.
Three days. In merely three days, three or four of the 10 defense lines built by humans were destroyed. Millions of human warriors died and dozens of lords were killed. The southern theater of operations was shaken. The entire Third Heaven was in a state of panic.
Emperor Candle Heaven went to the battlefield in person and asked the Reincarnation Emperor for reinforcements. The Reincarnation Emperor mobilized tens of millions of warriors and sent three warriors of the Emperor Realm.
However!
As soon as the armies and powerful warriors were mobilized, the Asmodian warriors of the Demonic Abyss at the northern theater of operations swarmed out as well. They began to smash at the human defense line.
A full-scale war broke out.
