Han Sen flew towards the Sky Tree as fast as he could . He knew he couldn't stop what was happening, but he hoped he could pick up a few goodies at the very least . Perhaps he'd even be able to kill a few of the super creatures and take their Life Geno Essences from Sky King .
The Sky Tree was growing at an alarming rate . The red and black bark was cracking and beginning to peel . Countless creatures tried to scramble out of the cracks that webbed the tree .
As the tree grew and grew, the creatures started to return to their original size . There were tigers, titans, and birds; every creature imaginable, all trying to make an escape .
But when they made it out, their bodies began to tear apart . Vines shot out from beneath their skin, ravaging their flesh and tangling them up . This happened to those that were airborne as well, and they rained down to the ground in pieces .
The roots of the tree then began to lift themselves up and escape the ground that kept them in place . Like hungry tentacles, the roots grabbed the corpses of fallen creatures and drained them of their lifeforce .
The cracks across the tree began to heal, crushing creatures that sought to escape from them . The tree was slowly being drenched in blood, making for a terrible sight .

A lot of creatures were unable to exit in time . For those that weren't crushed by the devilish lumber, they were instead ripped apart by the phantom vines that had been slumbering inside their bodies .
The place was like a forested depiction of hell, and just as Han Sen thought it would be best if he left, a light appeared . The light was Qing Jun . Her lifeforce was draining, as green sprouts began to pop up over her body .
"Get the Cruel Bottle!" Qing Jun was not doing well, evidently . As she approached Han Sen, she did so with wobbling movements . She was in great pain and suffering, that much was clear .
"Why? What is it?" Han Sen asked, but he did not delay in retrieving the jade bottle she had recently given him .
Qing Jun gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Han Sen . She placed her right hand on her chest and said, "I, Qing Jun, am willing to submit and offer absolute loyalty to a new master . I will become a faithful servant from now until eternity . "
After that, her forehead gleamed with a spirit stone . Needless to say, Han Sen was in shock that Qing Jun, of all spirits, was willing to obey him . Han Sen held her spirit stone in his hand . It shone brightly before becoming one with Qing Jun again .
Qing Jun might have become Han Sen's spirit, but the green sprouts were still on her .

"Open the bottle and let me in!" Qing Jun shouted .
"How do I open it?" Han Sen asked .
He had tried to open the Cruel Bottle before, but he was unable to . He thought it was very strange of her to give him a bottle, but at least now it was starting to make sense .
Han Sen touched the bottle to try to open it again, but this time, it opened immediately . Han Sen realized he could only use it once a contract with the spirit that gave it had been signed .
After the bottle was opened, Qing Jun transformed into a pellet of bright light . Then, she tucked herself inside it . As Han Sen wondered why Qing Jun was doing this, another light appeared . This time, it was Water Fairy .
Water Fairy's body was transparent, and you could see the sprouts manifesting inside her watery body . Her body bubbled and boiled, and if this was to continue, it'd only be a matter of time before she evaporated out of existence .

She shouted, "Help!"
Then she raced into the bottle alongside Qing Jun . Han Sen peered at Qing Jun and the Water Fairy inside the bottle, side by side, and noticed now that the sprouts had stopped growing on and within them . They were all gone .
Han Sen was delighted, learning this treasure he had been given could negate the dark powers of the Sky Tree .
"Han Sen, help!" Han Sen heard someone call out his name .
He turned to see a number of vines crawling through the air like a webbed net . A second later, they were cut down to the ground . A mound of bones had given them a shave, and when Han Sen's eyes came to focus, he saw Dry Bone King doing battle .
Han Sen flew over towards him, bottle in hand . As he pointed it at Dry Bone King, he asked, "Can you come inside?"
Dry Bone King spared no time in diving into the purifying comfort of the Cruel Bottle . Then, looking up, Han Sen saw a nine-headed creature soar through the sky, screeching in pain . It was headed straight for him .
But before Han Sen could do anything for it, the heads began to separate from its body as vines ravaged the poor beast . Its lifeforce was all going to the tree .
When the body hit the ground, roots sprang out of the earth and dragged it underground .
Han Sen felt it was a great shame and waste . Turning around again, though, Han Sen saw Ghost Eye becoming consumed by the hungry, lecherous vines . He was going to pull out his Phoenix Sword and do what he could to help . But before Han Sen could do anything, Ghost Eye saw the bottle and dived right into it .
"I'm here to get easy kills! Why am I inadvertently saving these things?" Han Sen thought, but then he noticed something . It didn't seem like anything could exit the bottle without his explicit permission .
The sound of an explosion rang through the forest . A rock giant was headed Han Sen's way, covered in vines like angry moss . The sturdy golem was able to defy their attempts to tear it apart, though .
And as expected, before the vines could do what they wished to, the rock giant jumped inside the Cruel Bottle .
