Chapter 271: If Heaven Blocks My Path, I Will Cut Down Heaven

```

Xu Ping'an was unaware of the thoughts of the elders hidden in the shadows—his entire being was focused on the stele before him.

As he approached the stele, he suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure from heaven and earth.

With each step Xu Ping'an took, it seemed as if heaven and earth were about to burst asunder.

A mighty force struck directly at his soul origin.

At the same time, heaven and earth became like a swamp, trapping Xu Ping'an deeper and deeper.

With every step forward, the deeper he sank.

The space around the stele seemed twisted and the inscriptions on it became indistinct.

Yet Xu Ping'an hadn't even reached the hundred-meter radius, he was merely experiencing the outer reaches of the stele's influence.

Once truly within a hundred meters of the stele, the true power of its domain would be a terrifying force to behold.

"It appears he has nothing special about him; he's already faltering before even entering the hundred-meter range," someone remarked.
