In an instant, Tian Fu's sword was pulled out of its sheath. The moment that the tip of the sword left the sheath, the sword disappeared.
Over the millions of years, Tian Fu had practiced the formless sword technique as much as his two self created techniques. Its power and range of usage had changed dramatically.
In an instant, Yao Mun's head flew up away from his body. Then, one of Yao Mun's arms grabbed the head out of mid air and placed it back on his body.
Before Tian Fu could even swing his sword again, the injury that should have killed anyone in the Heaven Galaxy was completely healed.
Tian Fu was shocked, but he did not stop.
On the other hand, Lernean and Bi Chong's battle completely ceased for a moment. They stood bewildered as they looked at the battle. Not only were their minds completely blown by Yao Mun's healing ability, but they were also shocked at Tian Fu's attack that would have instantly killed either one of them.
Tian Fu's sword, which had never stopped moving, sliced up again. This time, Yao Muns torso was diagonally severed.
However, the two separated pieces seemed to be dragged to each other in an instant and the injury was fully healed.
Tian Fu sent his sword straight down, vertically bisecting Yao Mun from his head to his feet. Then, the same thing happened again.
Tian Fu attacked ten more times before the sword returned to its sheath. He was extremely exhausted, but Yao Mun proudly floated uninjured.
Both Tian Fu and Yao Mun stopped for a moment. Tian Fu stood panting on the ground, injured, while Yao Mun floated above.
"What did I say? This is not AN ultimate healing technique. It is THE ultimate healing technique." Yao Mun laughed.
"Over the years I spent with Bi Chong, he eventually told me his story and showed me his body. One consciousness, but so many worms. Can you tell what I did?" Yao Mun asked.
Tian Fu only stared, although his mind was moving.
Yao Mun laughed at his silence.
"Combined with my healing technique, the new technique I created allows me to survive for a few minutes, even if my head is severed from my body. Sadly, I cannot fully replicate Bi Chong. After a few minutes, I'll still die." Yao Mun said.
"The question is, are you even able to keep my head and my body apart?" Yao Mun taunted.
Then, three limbs disappeared as three attacks shot at Tian Fu.
Tian Fu, who had never let his guard down, moved out of the way. The attack would have hit his left arm, but his left arm was gone.
Yao Mun wildly sent out attacks without a single interval in between. Tian Fu began to think again as he moved.
'It should be impossible for him to infinitely heal without any sort of negative effect. At the very least, it must take up a substantial amount of Qi, but he is not even panting.' Tian Fu thought.
The area around their battle had long turned into a giant abyss. No ground could even be seen. Even on a planet within Zhou Fans mortal dao, lesser dao creation realm level attacks could not be stopped.
Bi Chong and Lernean were still fighting, but they were so far away they could not be seen.
Tian Fu flew, dodging most of Yao Mun's crazy attacks due to his left arm being gone, but he was still hit three times.
His left leg, a chunk of his torso, and his left ear were gone. It was difficult to live, but he was alive.
Yao Mun only stopped after a hundred attacks. Now, he was beginning to pant.
"Guang Fu! No! Tian Fu! This battle was decided the moment it began! I am giving you a chance of survival. Join me! Battle me for all of eternity!" Yao Mun yelled.
Tian Fu panted in the air. Anyone who had not seen the battle would assume they fought thousands of feet above the ground.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but I only became this strong due to my hatred for you and my desire for revenge. After this battle, no matter how it ends, my growth will not be the same. You are simply more talented than me." Tian Fu said while panting.
Yao Mun took a deep breath and raised his head.
"Fine then. It is your honor to be killed by me. But I will give you more." Yao Mun said as he inhaled greatly.
He then screamed into the air.
"Throughout all of Heavenborn history, I, Yao Mun, declare you the strongest." He declared to the world.
As Yao Mun did not consider himself a Heavenborn, his words were true.
Even compared to Tian Ren, the current Tian Fu was simply stronger. Perhaps if he used the powers given to him by Heaven, then Tian Ren would be the strongest, but that was not his own strength.
As for Tian Fu, he had not earned the right to meet Heaven again.
Tian Fu continued panting while flying. He was trying to buy as much time as possible.
'At this point, I can only rely on my two self-created techniques. But they are very demanding of Qi. If I use them both, then I will be out of Qi.' Tian Fu thought. 'But that seems to be the only choice.'
Just as Tian Fu was preparing himself, Yao Mun spoke again.
"In truth, I created a technique just to give you an honorable death." Yao Mun said as he held his sword up.
Three of his limbs disappeared, but regrew. No attack came.
"I finally grasped charging my attacks through multiple heals and sacrifices, but the technique has drawbacks. Simply put, you win if you can dodge this attack." Yao Mun said.
His three limbs appeared and disappeared 15 times before he seemed to be reaching a limit.
"But that won't happen." Yao Mun said as his sword fell.
Just as the sword fell, Tian Fu charged directly at Yao Mun using his movement technique.
And then, the greatest attack to ever appear on the group of planets moved out.
Voom!
An attack similar looking to a giant red paint stroke, reaching the 5th level of the lesser dao creation realm obliterated everything in its path, including the layer of space.
Tian Fu's body was completely covered.
Yao Mun sighed as he watched the attack and his consciousness seemed to fade.
'This is the end, Tian Fu.' He thought.
Then, a single severed arm holding a sword flew out of the explosion.
'Unparalleled descent.' A consciousness thought as the sword went down.
Yao Mun's eyes widened as a giant explosion fell right on top of him.
—-----------------------------------------
On stone millions of miles below where the ground once was, two near dead bodies layed near each other.
Tian Fu's body consisted of a horribly injured torso, leg, arm and head, all looking like swiss cheese.
Yao Mun, not far away, was missing half of his body. The rest was as injured as Tian Fu's.
During Yao Mun's last strike, Tian Fu managed to use the true nature of his movement technique to survive.
His movement technique temporarily turned his body into something like light. It allowed him to move many times faster, but it was not made for passing through attacks.
However, by timing it right, Tian Fu was able to find a small gap where he pushed some of his light like body into.
Still, he was on the verge of death.
After an hour, Tian Fu's eyes opened. He was only severely injured.
Yao Mun was also severely injured, but also taking the backlash of his technique.
Tian Fu inched his body towards Yao Mun's like a caterpillar. Soon, he slightly raised his head and was face to face with Yao Mun.
Through all of the injuries and Qi exhaustion, Tian Fu managed to miraculously stand up. Absorbing the Qi around him and injuring himself even further, Tian Fu was able to use a lesser version of his self created technique.
'Tunnel force.' He barely thought as his fist moved out and he collapsed.
Yao Mun's body, only half remaining and extremely weak, was crushed into dust.
Although he was not the main character, the hero managed to win.
