Chapter 289 Endless Dilemmas

"Oh, I wonder if we've met somewhere before?"

The Holy Son of Fire Ling asked directly what he wanted to know.

After all, he really wanted to know who the other person was.

"Does the Holy Son remember when I first entered the Eternal Palace? I had already met the Holy Son at that time."

"However, at that time, I was just a speck of dust among the vast number of living beings, so it is understandable that the Holy Son did not remember me."

Hearing Zhou Xianzong's words, Huo Ling Shengzi felt somewhat relieved, but the strange feeling still lingered.

"So... what do you want to do now?"

Huo Ling Shengzi looked at Zhou Xianzong.

The other party clearly has some ulterior motive.

As for what it is, I really don't know.

However, one thing is certain: no matter how powerful this person is, even if he becomes a ruler, he still wouldn't dare to act recklessly here.

Because this is the Palace of Eternity.

"I want to defeat one of the two of you."

"To gain fame through this."

Zhou Xianzong looked at the two people in front of him with a smile.

In an instant, the atmosphere became noticeably heavier.

What is your intention in doing this?

Huo Ling Shengzi could sense that the other party was coming for him.

That feeling doesn't lie.

“Once, I stood at the edge of the universe, watching the Holy Son of Fire Ling enter the Eternal Palace. At that moment, I had only one thought in my mind: one day, I will also become such an existence.”

"Now, I want to give it a try."

"Moreover, I have heard that of the five palaces of the Eternal Palace, only one has yet to produce a Holy Child."

Zhou Xianzong looked at the other person, a hint of daze in his expression.

His use of the name Lin Xiu was naturally intentional.

On one hand, it was an appreciation of Lin Xiu's swordsmanship; on the other hand, he was well aware that if he took out the Breaking Yuan Spear, his identity would be exposed.

Not only that, under the current circumstances, Zhou Xianzong wants to completely hide everything about himself.

It's not like he hasn't done something like this before.

"I'm curious about one thing: who gave you that confidence?"

Huo Ling Shengzi looked at Zhou Xianzong, whose words were full of things that he found repulsive.

"I want to give it a try!"

Zhou Xianzong looked at the other person.

The meaning was quite clear: they were heading straight for the Holy Son of Fire Spirit.

The Holy Maiden of Cold Water did not get involved.

After all, she was still very much looking forward to the current situation.

If he were to actually manage to defeat the Holy Son of Fire Ling, he might actually be valued by those in the Eternal Palace.

Most importantly, the other party was not targeting their lineage.

She was naturally willing to remain a bystander.

"I'm giving you this chance."

Huo Ling Shengzi looked at Zhou Xianzong, a flash of light appearing in his hand as a long sword materialized.

It was that gray, second-stage Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

"A Primordial Treasure, what an enviable item!"

Zhou Xianzong looked at the gray longsword in Huo Ling Shengzi's hand, a dazzling light shining in his eyes.

The look of envy in their eyes was incredibly intense.

Of course, this is just a disguise.

Where is your weapon?

Huo Ling Shengzi looked at Zhou Xianzong and asked.

A flash of spiritual light appeared in Zhou Xianzong's hand, and a very ordinary longsword appeared in his hand.

Of course, this is just ordinary in comparison.

In the previous world, such a supreme artifact would have been extremely precious.

However, in the chaotic universe, it is quite ordinary and commonplace.

"This is your weapon?"

Huo Ling Shengzi was slightly taken aback.

Given the other party's arrogant tone, he had assumed they would employ some overwhelmingly powerful tactics.

However, the quality of the weapons they brought out was so mediocre.

It's incomprehensible.

Zhou Xianzong's smile gradually deepened.

"The way of the sword is not simply about relying on the sword in one's hand."

"Fine, just those words alone are enough for me to respect you."

Huo Ling Shenzi also put away his weapon.

He then took out an unparalleled divine weapon.

Clearly, he wanted a fair fight with Zhou Xianzong.

This was also what Zhou Xianzong sought.

How could someone so arrogant and haughty be willing to bully someone like me?

This is the human heart.

No matter how powerful an existence is, it will always remain so until it has completely eradicated its seven emotions and six desires.

"One sword cleaves the heavens!"

The Holy Son of Fire Ling made his move instantly, completely disregarding the impact his sword strike would have on the restaurant.

After all, this is the territory of the Eternal Palace, and they are all subordinate to the Eternal Palace.

Even if we destroy this place, what good will it do?

If you're so capable, go and demand justice from the Eternal Palace.

At that moment, Zhou Xianzong, the Holy Son of Fire Ling, and the Holy Maiden of Cold Water were all moved outside the restaurant.

The owner of the restaurant turned out to be a powerful Void God.

However, such a thing is also quite reasonable.

After all, in a place like this, it wouldn't be surprising to encounter anything strange or unusual.

"What a domineering and fierce sword strike!"

Looking at the sword strike, Zhou Xianzong could clearly see that this Holy Son of the Eternal Palace had made great progress in recent times.

Especially after the battle with Zhou Xianzong, the proud and arrogant Fire Spirit Saint suffered a great setback.

For him, it was actually a good thing.

It can take it a step further.

"Sever all emotional ties!"

This sword strike was precisely Lin Xiu's swordsmanship.

Zhou Xianzong only obtained three swords from Lin Xiu.

This is one of the swords.

However, all three sword techniques are offensive and do not possess any magical abilities.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Zhou Xianzong only had one thing to do: to withstand the Heaven-Opening Sword of the Fire Spirit Saint.

"The Wheel of Life and Death Across Myriad Realms!"

A huge void disc appeared behind Zhou Xianzong.

There were dazzling rays of light on the disc.

"Smash it!"

With a soft shout from Zhou Xianzong, the sword energy instantly collapsed.

However, a startling crack appeared on the disc behind him.

"What kind of martial art is this?"

The Holy Son of Fire Ling was shocked.

Before he could ask for an answer, Zhou Xianzong's sword energy had already arrived.

Severing the seven emotions means cutting off a person's feelings, even losing their competitive spirit and obsession with victory.

At this moment, the Holy Son of Fire Ling was caught in an endless predicament.

Clearly, he has a serious problem with his state of mind.

As for what kind of inner conflict he harbors.

That's something outsiders can't possibly know.

Zhou Xianzong did not take this opportunity to attack Huo Ling Shengzi.

Instead, he watched calmly from the sidelines.

A dazzling light shone in the eyes of the Cold Water Saintess in the distance.

"My senses are good. If I attack Huo Ling now, he will be the one who dies."

With a thought, the Holy Maiden of Cold Water copied the battle scene here.
