Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 989 - 264: Discovered! Dou Xianjiang! Fighting 2 alone!
It’s hard to imagine that a deity could actually die at the hands of an ordinary mortal, right within his own Immortal Palace Mansion. Such an event had never occurred in the long history since the establishment of the Heavenly Court. Fan Wu had indeed set a precedent this time. If the immortals within the Heavenly Court were to learn precisely how Immortal Jiao had died, this matter would likely shake the entire Heavenly Court to its core, after all it was the first incident of its kind. And a first incident would surely cause a great shock.
Immortal Jiao, an esteemed deity from the sixth rank of Immortal Officials, had been reduced to a mutilated corpse. Fan Wu cast a calm glance at the body of Immortal Jiao, then paid it no further attention, for dwelling on a corpse was pointless. What did it matter if it was the corpse of an immortal? He had seen the corpses of immortals before, some of whom had died by his sword, and they too had met with very tragic ends.
Now, Fan Wu faced a more pressing issue: he had stumbled upon the secret path leading to the Heavenly Court by chance, but he found himself clueless about how to return to the mortal realm. Yes, Fan Wu suddenly realized that he did not know how to go back. His gaze settled on an altar inside Immortal Jiao’s mansion; he remembered that when he first appeared in the Heavenly Court, it was at the location of such an altar.
However, what made the corners of Fan Wu’s mouth twitch was... that very altar was now in ruins. In the battle with Immortal Jiao, it was turned into rubble and its original form was no longer recognizable. It likely served no purpose anymore, completely ruined. A miscalculation... Fan Wu could only shake his head in resignation, though of course, he wasn’t entirely without options.
After all, there were so many deities in the Heavenly Court, there had to be some weaker ones among them. As long as he caught a weaker deity, he could find out from them how to leave the Heavenly Court and return to the human world. He could also reveal his purpose for coming to the Heavenly Court, as well as expose all the sinful deeds of Immortal Jiao.
If the deities of the Heavenly Court were reasonable, they should be willing to send him back to the mortal realm. At the very least, from what Fan Wu recalled, the Yin Gods of the Underworld were quite understanding; it was just unclear whether the Heavenly Gods above were the same. As these thoughts streaked through his mind, he suddenly had a premonition.
Fan Wu’s attention turned towards the large doors of Immortal Jiao’s Immortal Palace Mansion because, at that moment, he could distinctly feel someone approaching from that direction – and at an exceedingly fast pace. Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, the individual appeared at the doors of the Immortal Palace Mansion.
Bang!!! An earth-shattering noise suddenly erupted from the doors of Immortal Jiao’s mansion. The jade doors with their silver and gold filigree trembled violently. Then, a second boom followed, and the shaking of the doors grew even more exaggerated. Afterward... came the third and fourth booms in rapid succession, quickly followed by the fifth, until the doors collapsed with a deafening crash.
The doors collapsed inward with a muffled thud. Immediately after, a series of metallic collisions rang out. Fan Wu’s eyes widened as two Heavenly Gods clad in Golden Armor entered his sight, each brandishing different weapons, hurriedly bursting in, only to discover complete chaos inside.
As Fan Wu laid eyes on the two Golden Armor Deity Generals, they too spotted him with their own eyes. The gaze of each party met midair in a clash like three flashes of lightning intersecting. And then, the two Golden Armor Deity Generals stood frozen in place.
Because they suddenly realized that this stranger in the Immortal Palace Mansion didn’t seem to be an immortal. The aura emanating from him was clearly that of an ordinary mortal!
How could an ordinary mortal appear in the Heavenly Court? What was going on?
Then, amidst the wreckage of the Immortal Palace Mansion, they saw a body lying at Fan Wu’s feet. When the two Deity Generals took a closer look, they were immediately shocked. For they realized that the corpse was none other than Immortal Jiao!
No matter how you looked at it, Immortal Jiao had been an Immortal Official of the sixth rank in the Heavenly Court; the sixth rank represented a middle-level position within the Heavenly Court, and within the middle ranks, it was considered quite high. After all, moving up from there, one would be among those widely recognized immortals! Thus, he had some fame within the Heavenly Court.
At the very least... the two Golden Armor Deity Generals bursting in were aware of Immortal Jiao and his standing.
And the reason they had burst in was that they had sensed from afar that something here was awry. As they drew closer, they realized that it was the sound of battle! They even... heard the screams of an immortal.
Private fighting was against the laws of heaven in the Heavenly Court.
If two immortals had a dispute that could not be resolved through words, they could determine who was stronger through a duel. However, the duel had to take place in a designated area and be supervised by other immortals to prevent an escalation of hostilities that could lead to a loss of Life and create a major disaster.
