As he spoke, blazing greed surged up in Taiyi the Eastern Emperor’s eyes.
The impression An Yan had left on him back then was simply too deep.
She had actually used a power so lowly it couldn’t be any more lowly to directly shatter his single finger.
Granted, because of the barrier between the two worlds, the finger Taiyi the Eastern Emperor reached across with only possessed the strength of an ordinary Saint.
But even that was already the combat ceiling of the Multiverse.
You could say that with a single finger he could crush all the powerhouses across the Multiverse without issue.
At least Xue An at that time had felt tremendous pressure.
Yet utterly unexpectedly, right at that moment, a terrifyingly mysterious aura erupted from An Yan’s body.
Not only did it instantly shatter his strike, it even caused his true body far away in the Sky Beyond the Skies to suffer a trace of injury.
What did that imply?
It implied that there was a secret buried in this woman’s body that even Taiyi the Eastern Emperor could not see through.
And the sheer power and vastness of that aura made him involuntarily tremble every time he recalled it.
That was why he had gone so far as to set up such a killing game: first, to completely eliminate Xue An, and second, to capture An Yan and study her carefully.
Xue An silently wiped the blood from his face, then charged forward once more.
There was no point in saying anything now; trying to win with words would only make things worse.
In the end, everything still had to be settled by strength.
So he ignored Taiyi the Eastern Emperor’s taunts entirely and rushed in again, trying to find an opening.
Man and monster thus erupted into a fierce battle atop the arena.
And at that very same moment in the stands, a great battle was likewise underway.
But the situation had already shifted somewhat.
Unlike the initial one‑sided suppression, the Bai Family army at this moment could finally fight the Yin and Yang Clan’s Three Shadow Gods back and forth.
Although they were still at a complete disadvantage, at least they were no longer like at the beginning, when they could only take the beating and couldn’t hit back.
And this was all thanks to Xiao Gourd, who was desperately absorbing the mist.
Everyone knew very clearly that as long as this mist was completely wiped out, the Yin and Yang Clan’s advantage would cease to exist.
The Three Shadow Gods naturally understood this as well, so they roared in fury and focused all their attacks on Xiao Gourd.
But with layer upon layer of protection from Yue Shifang, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the others, their attacks couldn’t so much as touch a hair on Xiao Gourd.
Seeing the mist grow thinner and thinner, all three Shadow Gods became somewhat anxious.
Blocking this Bai Family army was an order from Lord Eastern Emperor; if they failed, the consequences would be unthinkable.
So the three Shadow Gods exchanged a look, and then the left and right Shadow Gods threw back their heads and let out a pained, piercing howl.
With their howls, their bodies directly exploded, turning into foul blood mist that merged into the body of the Xuan Shadow God alone.
In an instant, the originally burly body of the Xuan Shadow God swelled rapidly, reaching an inconceivable height.
Not only that, countless eyes sprouted all over that slick, sticky body, making one’s scalp crawl and stomach churn at just a single glance.
After merging into one, the Xuan Shadow God suddenly opened his bloody maw and spewed out billowing black fog.
The moment this black fog emerged, it was as if the sky itself was blotted out; daylight dimmed in an instant.
Everyone felt their burden abruptly increase; the momentum and aura they had just barely begun to recover froze solid again.
But this was only the beginning.
At that moment, a startled shout rang out.
"Gourd, what’s wrong with you?"
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Xiao Gourd, who had been madly absorbing the mist, already collapsed to the ground.
Ao Shu hurriedly rushed forward and scooped her up. Looking at her now, her little face had turned black, her eyes were tightly shut, her whole body stiff—she was actually showing signs of poisoning.
Cha Wenliang also rushed over at this time. After a brief examination, he said in disbelief, "She’s been poisoned. But the problem is, she’s neither human nor demon—how could she be poisoned?"
Cha Wenliang simply couldn’t figure it out.
