Han Sen was made up, and he thought to himself, "Hmm, perhaps this is not all bad . Give me a few more, and I'll have myself a personal army . "
In the sky, the hellbird raged with great curtains of fire that smoked the skies and turned them black . Try as it might, it was unable to incinerate the vines that sought to ravage its fiery body .
The green vines had put a strain on it and quelled the ferocity of its flames . The wretched, lecherous vines did not fear anything .
The vines lashed the bird whose flesh they were born from, and they swayed like manic green fire-licks of their own . Eventually, they proved too much, and they tore the bird apart .
The bird had hoped to reach Han Sen and his bottle, and it had been rapidly descending as all this unfolded . Unfortunately, it was too late . The only thing to reach the ground was a rain of fleshy chunks and blood-stained feathers . It was another meal for the Sky Tree .
Han Sen saw a giant flower get torn apart at the entrance to the Sky Tree .
The other super creatures had all been too late for Han Sen to save, and they all ended up as food for the Sky Tree .
"Where is Baby Ghost?" Han Sen asked as he searched amidst the ruin, thinking of all the questions he still wanted to ask .

The walnut forest was a vile hellscape now, painted dark with the blood of spirits and creatures .
Han Sen asked Qing Jun, who was in the Cruel Bottle, "Where is Baby Ghost? Why did he not exit alongside you?"
"We got separated . He was supposed to be here," Qing Jun said .
Han Sen asked the Water Fairy if she had seen him, but she said she had not seen him, either .
Han Sen thought this was boding poorly for Baby Ghost . His failure to escape didn't make sense, though . Han Sen had informed him about the true nature of the conspiracy surrounding the operations of Immortal Shelter, so he should have been among the first to get out .
Han Sen could no longer find the entrance to the Sky Tree, as the original tree hole was now filled up . There was no other way inside .
But then, a scream sounded in the sky . Looking up, Han Sen saw a gold peacock descending from atop the tree . A person was on top of the peacock; a figure with gold-colored hair adorned with a crown . The man's simple aura was one of immense power, and Han Sen felt it was comparable to Xiang Yin .
"Is that Sky King?" The man was incredibly handsome . His beauty and strength transcended that which seemed achievable by humans, and one could have easily mistaken him for a god of sorts .

"That's him," Dragon King said .
The gold peacock landed near Han Sen . The man's eyes gleamed with the color of gold, but they seemed empty and devoid of emotion .
"Leave them, and I'll grant you a swift and merciful death," Sky King said .
His eyes were callous pits of false holiness, and they saw through Han Sen as if it was a strain to even acknowledge his existence .
Of course, a greedy person such as Han Sen was not willing to hand over his goodies, even if it meant he'd get away scot free . Now was the perfect time to run, he believed .
But still, not knowing the fate of Baby Ghost pained him . Ultimately, he ended up thinking the spirit might have just remained inside the Sky Tree to die .
Han Sen thought about fighting Sky King, but now that the Sky Tree had been revived and his power might have been restored, it wasn't worth trying . He couldn't be sure he had what it took to deal with a foe such as that .
Plus, if Han Sen was truly able to defeat Sky King, he'd just respawn back in the Sky Tree . Han Sen would have to destroy the tree itself to ensure he had dealt with Sky King for good .

Han Sen's Phoenix Sword had only been able to deal a minor scratch on the tree's bark . And that was before, when it was supposedly dead . He wagered he'd probably be unable to do anything to it now, in its current state .
Earlier, when the bark of the tree fell off, it was replaced with new layers of bark . This bark was like burning, red-hot steel . It looked like a frightening monument, fresh from the forges of hell . It was an unsettling sight, for sure .
Sky King wasn't going to let Han Sen run off with so much of the tree's food, though . The gold peacock inflated itself like a balloon, and it became so bloated it blocked half of the sky .
The gold peacock inhaled air in front of Han Sen, whipping up a frenzied suction . It sought to consume Han Sen and the bottle .
Han Sen gritted his teeth and summoned Disloyal Knight . Then he activated super king spirit mode .
He summoned a coin in his hand and then fired a multitude of them at the peacock .
Although they were only coins, super creatures never seemed to have what was necessary to overcome super king spirit mode . Han Sen always prevailed in that form .
The peacock, seeing the coins coming towards it, stopped sucking . With its mouth, it chomped a number of the coins to break them and their power .
Disloyal Knight used its halo to dye the peacock, and Sky King, a delightfully unholy, tarnished bronze color . Then, as it very much liked to do, it moved toward the creature and let loose a flurry of punches .
The peacock's beak struck one of its fists, knocking Disloyal Knight back with a mark across its gauntlet . But this was good, as Han Sen took advantage of this opportunity to leap onto the peacock's back and dash before Sky King .
Han Sen's mighty fist, draped in a shroud of purified power, was thrown towards Sky King .
Sky King watched Han Sen approach, and the exact moment the fist was set to collide with his face, he moved .
Han Sen saw Sky King's arm, which was clad in gold armor, move . Then, he felt a sickly power meet with his chest .
It felt as if he had gotten hit by a train . When Han Sen hit the ground, he formed a fifty-meter-deep hole .
Blergh!
Han Sen coughed blood from his mouth, and he thought to himself, "Dragon King, I thought you said Sky King needs the Sky Tree to achieve the power of an emperor . Why is he this strong already?! He must already be an emperor, one who has opened ten gene locks . He must be as powerful as Xiang Yin . "
