#421 - Can you stop me?

Mount End, within a pine forest.

An old man sat on a stone. Facing the old man was a young monk with his robes open, wearing a light cyan kasaya.

Beside the old man stood a little girl with pigtails. Her pink, jade-like appearance was very cute, and her big, watery eyes blinked as she looked at the young monk.

The little girl didn't understand why this young monk looked even younger than herself but could play chess with her grandfather.

Moreover, her grandfather really enjoyed playing chess with him, and sometimes her grandfather couldn't even win against him.

But this young monk was so chubby, with a round belly and face, looking so cute. She really wanted to pinch his cheeks.

"Old Sir, this matter was not handled properly," Maitreya said with a sigh, placing a black stone.

The Old Man of the End took a white stone and placed it on the chessboard, smiling as he stroked his beard: "In this world, nothing is perfect. To gain something, one must lose something.

Now, we must abandon some things."

Maitreya shook his head: "But Old Sir, this step you've taken will lead to devastation. Countless forests will lose their lives because of this step you've taken."

The Old Man of the End smiled: "Maitreya, you've lived for so long. Tell me, when has this world not been devastated? The people who die now are dying to save more people from dying in the future."

Maitreya looked at the old man: "Those people might not have to die."

"It's 'might not have to die,' but as you said, it's only 'might'."

The old man placed a stone.

"What must be done, we must do. You and I are both pieces of this heaven. To play chess with this heaven, we must abandon some pieces."

"Cough cough cough..."

The old man coughed a few times, looking at Maitreya with a smile.

"Maitreya, in ancient times, you killed many people, saying it was for the sake of all beings. At the time, I didn't understand.

This time, I harmed my own disciple, killed the Dragon King of the East Sea, and will kill tens of thousands of sea creatures. You should understand."

"It is precisely because I understand that I believe this matter is wrong," Maitreya shook his head. "After that incident, my heart has been tormented every day. Every day, I have to ask myself whether what I did at that time was right or wrong."

The old man smiled: "But Maitreya, how can we do what is right?"

Maitreya: "..."

"When have we, these people, not been constantly searching for what is right from our mistakes?" The Old Man of the End stood up.

Seeing her grandfather get up, the little girl with pigtails hurried to support him. The old man and the little girl walked down the mountain step by step, and the voice slowly came from behind the old man:

"Maitreya, we don't have much time left, and this world doesn't have much time left either."

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, this loud bang spread across thousands of miles of the four seas.

Except for cultivators above the fifth realm, everyone spat out a mouthful of blood, and some were even directly stunned.

Xu Ming only felt that his eardrums were about to burst, his vision was shaking, and his whole head was dizzy.

At the same time, in the four sea areas of east, west, south, and north, all the dragons felt something and their minds were shaken.

The magic arrays of the four royal palaces were activated at the same time to resist this impact.

Waves as high as hundreds of meters were set off, impacting the small islands.

Some small islands with small areas were directly destroyed by the waves.

In less than half an incense stick of time, countless islanders died unjustly, and countless sea creatures died.

Whether on land or in the sea in the four sea areas, there was a wail everywhere.

When Xu Ming regained consciousness, what he saw was a graceful figure in a long dress standing in front of him.

The Dragon Queen stood in front of Xu Ming, bearing the brunt of the impact for Xu Ming.

Xu Ming looked in the direction of the Dragon King Teng. The Dragon King Teng had completely shattered, turning into several pieces floating in the air.

Because of the shattering of the immortal weapon, a huge impact was created, and a broken void was formed in the original place where the Dragon King Teng shattered.

This Dragon King Teng shattered, and that was it. If it was just a simple shattering of an immortal weapon, then at most, one would only feel regret.

But in reality, the shattering of this Dragon King Teng had a very big impact.

Xu Ming didn't know that in the four sea areas of east, west, south, and north, there was a very deep abyss.

In the abyss, demon beasts opened their scarlet eyes.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sound of chains struggling spread out one after another, and Xu Ming heard it clearly.

Xu Ming looked around, but there was nothing.

"Don't wander around. Wait here for me to come back."

The Dragon Queen transformed into a giant dragon and flew towards the Nether Abyss of the North Sea.

In less than ten breaths, the Dragon Queen had already arrived above the Nether Abyss of the North Sea.

Demon beasts drilled out of the Nether Abyss of the North Sea one after another.

When these demon beasts saw living creatures around them, no matter what they were, they pounced on them to kill and tear them apart.

Red blood continued to spread in the sea water.

"Yo, it's actually a beautiful little girl." From the Nether Abyss, a man's voice came, "Who is Long Song to you?"

"My great-grandfather," the Dragon Queen said.

"No wonder." The man laughed a few times, "The smell on your body is so similar to his. I didn't expect that ugly fellow to have such a beautiful descendant like you."

The Dragon Queen didn't speak, but just looked calmly at this Nether Abyss.

"What happened to Dragon King Teng?" The man continued to ask.

The Dragon Queen calmly replied: "It's gone."

"Gone?" The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I told your great-grandfather long ago that the so-called Four Seas are four hearts. Your four hearts each think of their own things. Dragon King Teng will be destroyed by the hands of your Four Seas sooner or later. Now I've really been proven right, hahaha!"

The man laughed for a long time, and finally, as if he had laughed enough, he raised his head and looked at the Dragon Queen: "Little girl, do you think you can stop me?"

"Are you overestimating yourself?" The Dragon Queen tilted her head.

"Then try!"

The man, whose hands and feet were bound by chains, struggled hard. A majestic aura spread from the Nether Abyss. All the demon beasts exploded into blood mist, and the blood mist continued to condense.

In the end, a dharma image of a man stood in front of the Dragon Queen.

The man loosened his fists: "Although it's just a Dharma, Heaven, and Earth, the feeling outside is really good!"

[Unknowingly, this year is almost over. I'm getting another year older, and I'm almost thirty. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything.

There aren't many days left this year. I hope this year can have a good ending, and I also hope that the coming year will be smoother.]
