Gan Teng opens his eyes, and he sees dark surroundings with dust flying around. He can see the black cloud with thunder roaring in the sky. He blinks his eyes few times, muddle-headed, all of the things he sees are unfamiliar to him. He's confused, how did he end up in this strange place.
"What happened to me... where am I?"
In his confusion, he focuses his mind, trying to recall his memories. With the body still lying naked on the floor, he slowly began to remember what had happened.
"As I remember, I hibernated my self to save energy and use separation of the soul to fix my body automatically while I'm hibernating."
Separation of the soul is one of the forbidden techniques that separating own soul to create a simple clone inside own mind that able to perform simple tasks automatically.
A technique that makes macro programming with the soul as the brain. Like a robotic AI chip, but using soul instead of high tech AI.
With this technique, real owner soul can do something else while the body moves automatically.
Almost all of the technique user died while the other user soul trapped inside the zombie-like body, never regain control of the body. Is said that to master this technique, someone must have a divine soul.
This technique commonly used for last effort. With the body that feels no pain nor tired, the zombie body will do anything to finish its programmed job.
If the user sets the job to assassinate someone, then the technique will make sure the target dies. For low-level mastery, the zombie body can only use normal body attack, but for a higher master of the soul technique, there's no limit of skill use. Imagine, a real powerhouse uses all the skill he has without feeling pain or tired. This forbidden technique won't stop until the job done, no matter what happens.
"And now I have awakened, let's see if my body has recovered."
A layer of soft mist can be seen spreading all over his body. He uses his divine sense to check his body condition. It's been a long time since he uses his real eyes. Too much dependent on his divine sense.
"It seems my healing process is over," he thought to himself.
"Nothing wrong with the body, the damage is healed, my body repair works fine, but I do not know how much my body part is wasted for the repair process, hopefully not too much."
He still lying on the floor only use his divine force to check his body
" I think my body is much smaller than before. It's a shame I have to use body devour skill. I was forced to gamble with my own life. In the absence of elements that can be absorbed in voids, I use this skill, by devouring my own body."
Body devour are an innate ability of supreme ruler. This ability awakens after someone reaches gods level cultivation. With this ability, everything it targets can be absorbed as a power supply. Gan Teng uses this ability to devour his own body. By absorbing the body part, he builds a smaller figure of himself. It's like playing with clay, overhauling a large statue that has lost its hands and feet into a smaller representation. It Becomes smaller than before, but it's back to its original shape.
"Fortunately, my gambling action worked, now my body repair is over, although it seems that my body shrunk quite a lot."
He uses his divine sense to find the part of his soul that used for the recovery process. After some time, he finds out that he can't find the part of the soul that he separated before.
"This is strange, I can't feel the part of my soul from my separation of soul technique, with the required level of power consumption, my clone of the soul should be able to survive more than 1000 years. Does that mean I hibernate for more than a thousand years?"
He begins to ponder.
"And apparently I'm no longer in the void space, maybe I'm stranded on this planet attracted by the planet's gravity after the effects of the explosion gone. But how did my body get out from the void space? What really happened while I hibernated? "
Few questions begin to emerge in his mind. He uses his divine senses once more time.
"It seems that my divine sense still needs more time to recover, I can only spread it for 500 meters. Lucky I can also absorb the elements around me, with my body functioning normally it's only a matter of time before my divine sense ability increases. Should I Devour the whole planet to increase my strength?"
Back then when he still supreme ruler, he often absorbs the life force of planet to increase his own power. Planet devourer is an ability the commonly used by stronger entities to increase their power. They use this skill to devour all planet life force and absorb everything on the planet, More life force on the planet gives better results. Stronger entities even absorb the core of planet for own power and left the planet to die.
When they become strong, other life forms are nothing in their eyes, as long as it can be used to increase their strength, they don't care, they keep devour everything to become stronger because become strong are a must for them. Even the strong are just food for other stronger entities. They keep devouring everything to become the Strongest. and He, Gan Teng are the strongest entities in Kaliman universes. He rules over life or death on everything. With billions of planet and planes on Kaliman, he becomes strong and stronger with the passage of time.
"No, I should use this planet to know what happened during my hibernation. Once I gain the information I need, I can devour this planet to regain my Apex. I can smell that this planet has lots of life forms. It should be tasty."
GRRR...
He hears a sound come from his left side, it sounds like a growl of a beast. He turns his head to the source of the sounds and he sees a big wolf-like creature with snow-white fur all over his body. This wolf has 2 meters tall and 4,5 meters long body with razor-sharp claws and the mouth full of jaw-like teeth.
"Aw, it's just a punny snow-wolf."
He still thinks very calmly even tough the big bad snow wolf growling and looking at his body with starving looks. Then he spares no more look at the snow-wolf and re-uses his divine sense to collect more information about his surrounding.
...
The male snow wolf walking closer slowly with its wild instinct and curiosity to find out does the thing in front of him are not harmful and can be eaten. The snow-wolf feel a tinge of danger came from the creature body, but the curiosity and starve that it feels make him careless.
15 meters, 10 meters 5 meters, the snow-wolf keep walking slowly and soon it reaches 3 meters range. The snow wolf didn't jump in straight into its pray but carefully walking with very cautious. It may be starving but the survival instinct always came first. The wolf needs to make sure that the creatures are fully harmless.
The Snow-wolf keep walking and soon it reaches 2 metes range, It's survival instinct make him very cautious and he begins circling the creature that seems not care at all on its presence.
After circling the creature around 5 times, this wolf ensures that the creature is harmless and soon can become a prey. To make sure its own safety the snow-wolf tense all his body muscle that make his snow-like furs rise all over his body. Then growl slowly and open and close its mouth that full of jaw-like teeth to make sure it can kill the creatures with one bite.
The snow wolf tenses its feet and makes a leap to bite the creature body.
SWOOSH
Snow wolf leap speed is very fast that creates an afterimage, it bites the creature on its neck part, but because the mouth so big and the creature seem so small, it mouth cover all over the creature neck and whole body except the head.
CRUNCH
The sound of snow wolf bites meet its prey can be heard echoing on the surrounding. The snow-wolf seem very happy that after a long fasting it can find food to satisfy its hunger.
But suddenly it feels something amiss, the teeth that usually strong and cut every prey it bites suddenly become dull. It's not like bitting a food, but some strange material. Soft like other prey skin, but no matter its try to bit it didn't leave any scratch. The snow-wolf teeth are famous for its sharpness and its ability to cut any kind of hard material, even the wild-snow-crabs that famous to have an iron skin covering its body are easily torn up by its teeth.
But now no matter its try to bite the creature on its mouth, it didn't work, not a scratch can be made. This soft looking creature skin is very durable.
Suddenly it feels chilling and danger comes from the creature in its mouth. A dreadful feeling it never feels before rose and it feels like the surrounding engulfs with darkness.
The snow-wolf looks at the creature that in its mouth and it sees the creature slowly turn its small head up and their eyes meet. The snow wolf feels it very own soul being sucked by those black dreadful eyes. The eyes look so scary, no it seems like the scariest eyes it ever sees, even the eyes of the snow king are less scary than this creature eyes.
The snow-wolf seen the creature slowly open its tiny mouth like and a strange scream coming from the creature mouth.
WAA WA WAAA WAAA
Spontaneously the snow wolf throws the creature from its mouth with all of its strength. The creatures get thrown as far as 15 meters and bouncing three times before stop moving, face plant on the ground. The snow-wolf then run away from fear it feels inside.
