After a moment, Tian Fu decided to look in the supreme beasts domain. It was more than likely that Lernean and the rest of the beast worlds supreme beasts had begun living there.
After a few days of travel, Tian Fu arrived. He wasted no time and flew down to the main castle of the supreme beast race. As he landed in front of the doors, the guards kneeled in front of him and greeted him.
Tian Fu asked to enter and they naturally allowed him entry. Soon, Tian Fu was face to face with the supreme beast king of the Heaven world.
He asked where the beast world supreme beasts were, and was directed to a location just a day away.
Tian Fu soon reached that place and found Lernean training.
Lernean was surprised to see him and flew up, now in human form. Lernean, who looked like a normal person with nine different hair colors, greeted him.
"Hello Tian Fu." He said.
"Hi Lernean. I'm here to see how much you have improved." Tian Fu said.
Since Lernean was his ally, he needed to know if he could be relied on.
Lernean and Tian Fu moved to a large field after a few minutes of conversation. At the start of the fight, Lernean transformed into his beast form and breathed out nine different Qi breaths.
Tian Fu dodged to the right, but the breaths followed him. Tian Fu nodded in approval.
Lernean was not his match, so he was holding back immensely. He didn't even use any techniques and just dodged.
Soon, Lernean combined his heads into one and breathed out the one breath containing nine Qi's. It too could now move after being breathed out.
Unfortunately, Tian Fu had put a lot of time into increasing his speed. Besides offense, it was his most highly trained aspect. Soon, Tian Fu held a giant sword of light Qi to Lerneans neck.
Lernean quickly admitted defeat, and Tian Fu gave him a bunch of pointers on what to improve in.
Then, he returned back to the Heaven sect. The only other person he visited was Tian Ren's wife.
There, he sparred with her many times. Of course, she was holding back greatly, but it helped Tian Fu continue to be good at fighting and avoid getting rusty.
Their sparring lasted 6 hours a day for a month before Tian Fu returned. Once again, he entered his yard and began training in seclusion.

On another planet, Yao Mun was sitting at the end of a long table. Facing him was Bi Chong.
"Soon, you will break into the void traversing realm. Things will change a lot then, but I assume it will get better overall for you." Bi Chong said.
"It should. At that time, I will be able to increase my cultivation speed by absorbing others' blood thanks to my eye. Sadly, that will only work by absorbing the blood of people of a higher cultivation than me. I will also have to kill them myself or it won't work." Yao Mun sighed.
"Yes. Good. Have you thought any further about the Heaven world and what to do with it?" Bi Chong asked.
"Since I am a Heavenborn, the restriction set by Heaven does not affect me. In other words, once I reach the 10th level of the space shattering realm, I can kill all the Heavenborns." Yao Mun responded.
"I don't think you would even have to wait until the 10th level." Bi Chong laughed.
"Perhaps not, but I would advise against underestimating the Heavenborns. They are still the children of Heaven. Who knows how many powerful defensive arrays Tian Ren set up. He might have even made some specially against me." Yao Mun said.
"It may have been fortunate that Heaven restricted others from entering." Yao Mun continued. "Otherwise, the casualties would have been off the charts."
"No matter how many weaklings die, it won't affect us." Bi Chong responded.
"I know, I'm just making excuses. Really, I'm just hoping that Guang Fu is getting stronger. Otherwise, waiting would have been pointless. I can only hope he does not disappoint me." Yao Mun admitted.
"Was he that interesting?" Bi Chong asked curiously. He hadn't made it to the battlefield in time to see the fight or Tian Ren's death.
"He is the only person to have ever nearly killed me at the same cultivation." Yao Mun responded. "He may be the only person to ever be so strong against me again. Therefore, I have to make sure to enjoy our fight to its fullest."
"I get that. Somewhere inside me, I wish that I could have fought Tian Ren again. Unfortunately, he was killed by the thing he loved most." Bi Chong said with a sigh.
"Then you should understand the feeling of fighting an equal." Yao Mun said.
"Indeed." Bi Chong responded.
—-------------------------------------
In the courtyard, Tian Fu got up from an 18 hour cultivation session and began practicing a new technique he had thought of.
Although his other techniques still need a lot more work and practice, he had a sudden inspiration and decided to see if he could make a movement technique.
After a few attempts, Tian Fu's body seemed to flicker in the air and appear a hundred feet away. It was almost as fast as teleportation.
Even he was stunned by the speed he was moving at. The technique was too complex for him to understand, but he was instinctually able to do it.
'This may be the key in defeating Yao Mun.' He thought to himself.
Tian Fu had spent zero time on defensive techniques. He was already good enough at everything to outclass anyone else on his level. Only Yao Mun was left.
Therefore, practicing defensive techniques was pointless. Movement techniques, however, had a different situation. Although the speed of Yao Mun's attacks were still boosted by sacrificing his limbs, it was not boosted as much as the pure power and strength of the attacks.
Therefore, evasion was the best countermeasure. Of course, nobody could dodge Yao Muns attacks at the same level.
'Yet, with this movement technique, there is hope.' Tian Fu thought to himself.
