Chapter 2191: Chapter 2191

The black stone tablet, imposing and awe-inspiring, as if it embodies the supreme law of the world, makes one feel fear at the mere sight of it!

There is only one word on the stone tablet, yet it is enough to shock everyone.

Who in the world dares to use this word?

The universe operates, all rules and principles, cannot escape the word Tao!

On this stone tablet, someone actually dared to engrave such a word; what kind of powerful presence must one possess to have such confidence?

Su Yang knows this stone tablet is definitely not ordinary, and the person who engraved this word is even less so.

A single word is enough to overlook all beings!

Yet that figure stands atop this stone tablet, as if stepping on the Tao itself.

Su Yang glanced at the figure, at a distance too far to see clearly. Yet he couldn't help but admire this person, who could step on the Tao itself with such heaven-defying strength and confidence!

Taking a deep breath, Su Yang wanted to try stepping forward once more to observe the stone tablet's situation.

At that moment, a mighty force suddenly erupted from the stone tablet.

In an instant, Su Yang felt himself like an ant facing a giant, one that could crush him at any time.

Under the suppression of this force, Su Yang's breath even halted, utterly unable to bear such pressure. Furthermore, he distinctly felt this force pulling him forward, as if trying to drag him toward the tablet.

Panic surged within Su Yang; given the stone tablet and the figure's immense power, being dragged over would surely turn him into pulp under their mighty presence.

Moreover, the tablet seemed intent on devouring him; if dragged over, he'd likely be consumed by it, spelling disaster.

But Su Yang now lacked any power to resist. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't escape the stone tablet's grip, being forcibly dragged forward.

Feeling the pressure intensify around him, Su Yang's entire body flushed crimson, as he completely sensed death's near approach.

At such a critical juncture, the figure standing above the stone tablet suddenly moved. With a gentle stomp, a powerful force pressed forth, instantly shattering the tablet's might. Simultaneously, this force directly expelled Su Yang.

Su Yang, powerless to resist, flew out from the black aura, landing nearby on the ground.

Su Zhan and the three Crystal Skulls were anxiously watching the black aura, and suddenly seeing Su Yang fly out startled them, causing them to rush over and help him up.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Second City Lord exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't your power restricted? How did you still fly out?"

Third City Lord said, "Second brother, can't you be a bit knowledgeable? Did big brother fly out on his own? He was knocked out; clearly someone hit him!"

"Hey, Third Brother, what's your attitude? Is this how you speak to Second Brother? Do you even acknowledge seniority?" Second City Lord retorted with hands on hips.

"What I said is logical; this isn't about attitude, it's about reason…" Third City Lord countered.

"Reasoning with you? I'm your second brother, you should respect me. Talk of reason, I'll give you a beating!" Second City Lord interrupted.

Third City Lord ignited, "You beat me? I'll beat you! You're only a little older, yet flaunt it, disregarding reason entirely. You haven't aged much, but have completely mastered disrespecting seniority!"

Seeing the two Crystal Skulls almost come to blows, Great City Lord intervened, handing out a slap to each, making them instantly quiet.

"Chief, I'm teaching him rules, what seniority means. If he disrespects me today, tomorrow he could disrespect you!" Second City Lord retorted, clutching his face in grievance.

"Chief, he's so unreasonable; if word gets out, wouldn't it sully the name of our universe's Three Handsome? I'm thinking of our reputation by insisting on reason!" Third City Lord also defended, indignant.

"Silence!" Great City Lord commanded in fury, and the pair shut their mouths immediately.

Su Yang looked speechlessly at Third City Lord; when had these three given themselves the nickname "Three Handsome"? What did it mean? With such demeanor, you dare call yourselves three handsome? More like three rogues of the universe!

Rolling his eyes, Su Yang ignored the three, turning to Su Zhan.

"Father, there's someone inside, and a stone tablet!" Su Yang briefly explained the situation within.

Su Zhan listened, his face filled with shock. Earlier, he attempted entry but was blocked by an invisible force shortly after, unable to advance further.

Unexpectedly, Su Yang managed to venture inside and ascertain the situation.

The crux is, there exists something extraordinary within.

A powerful stone tablet, as described by Su Yang, likely heaven-defying level in the universe.

Yet inexplicably, such a stone tablet is suppressed underfoot by an individual.

This individual can also absorb and release those black auras—perhaps there's a connection between him and the black aura? Or could this individual be the creator of the black aura?

Based on Su Yang's account, the stone tablet appeared intent on killing and devouring Su Yang. On the contrary, that individual saved Su Yang, expelling him.

Thus, this person seems benevolent, while the stone tablet harbors malice; otherwise, it wouldn't attempt to devour Su Yang.

But the critical question remains: is Su Zhan's previous assumption valid?

Is Devouring the World's master indeed aiming to rediscover the Furnace for rebirth?

And what is the relationship between that person and Devouring the World's master? Could this person be the master himself?

If this individual is Devouring the World's master, then Su Zhan's previous conjecture could well be wrong, as this person is alive and has no need to seek the Furnace.

However, if this individual isn't Devouring the World's master, then the situation is dire.

This person can stand within the powerful aura of Devouring the World, suppressing the engraved stone tablet. Just who is he? What does he intend for Devouring the World's power? Why did he rescue Su Yang?
