The howling sounded from afar, but its carrier was quickly closing the distance .
When the howling came to an abrupt end, a creature emerged from the brush of the nearby forest .
"Little Silver!" Han Sen was delighted to see his past companion leap into the fray .
Its elegant fur was just like Han Sen remembered, and it brought him immense joy just to see the scruffy animal come with lightning flickering across its body .
Truth be told, though, the title "Little Silver" was no longer suitable . In his time away from Han Sen, the silver fox had grown to become a giant, almost wolf-like fox . It had ten electrified fox tails that crackled and sparked with an intensity that looked as if it could tear the dimension apart .
Saint Fan was visibly disturbed when he saw it .
But Han Sen was exuberantly happy, and rightly so . His companion hadn't just returned, he had come back with a grand amount of power . The significance of its tails told them it had either opened nine gene locks, or quite possibly, ten .

The silver fox swung its tail after appearing, as a bolt of lightning was fired towards Saint Fan .
Saint Fan did not want the lightning to touch him, so he swung Han Sen and Xie Qing King together as a meatshield .
Boom!
The silver lightning hit Han Sen and Xie Qing King, and the looks on their faces were the distorted and wild expectation of a sudden death that was about to strike them .
They were unable to avoid the lightning, but when they got hit, they noticed it wasn't a bolt meant to harm them . It healed them . Their relief was immense, and the healing power they received equaled the power of the Holy Rhino at the very least .
When the lightning came into contact with Saint Fan's body, though, the emperor let out a shrill shriek of pure agony . The lightning seared the skin off his entire body and made him smoke .
At that precise moment, Han Sen and Xie Qing King noticed they had been separated from Saint Fan .
The lightning attack had left Saint Fan's body charred and burned, and the wounds looked irreparable . He tried to heal himself, but try as he might, he was unable to .

Little Silver wasn't letting up on his master's aggressor, though . He pumped up the charge and continued frying Saint Fan . In response, the scorched spirit tried to use a white light in defense .
The powers of the two looked to be equal, and it wasn't immediately clear who would win .
The silver fox did not stop casting, and the holy light of Saint Fan's shield had grown in volume and intensity to equal a small silver sun .
There was no explosion, but the existence of the greenery around them flickered violently, as if there was a switch that operated time periods . One moment, the greenery would be in full, verdant bloom . The next, a scorched, charred hellscape . It switched between the two rapidly and made for an awe-inducing sight .
Han Sen's energy felt disturbed as he witnessed this . He wanted nothing more than to leave, feeling dwarfed by the gargantuan forces that battled before him .
"Everyone, focus on felling the remaining spirits and super creatures!" Han Sen called, running into battle against Saint Fan's army .
Now, Saint Fan had been left to deal with a being that was his equal . He was left to fight with the silver fox, and he couldn't be distracted . Under the pressure put on him by the electric fox, he wouldn't have the time to resurrect anything that died .

Han Sen and Xie Qing King laid waste to the remaining forces with ease, all except for the Holy Rhino . But Han Sen thought it odd . Despite what he killed, Han Sen did not receive a single announcement .
This made him frown . Even if the foes he had routed could be resurrected, death—no matter how temporary—should yield him an announcement of some kind . This must have meant Saint Fan did not resurrect them on the field of battle, and that he must have done something before he came to fight .
"Well, that's a new trick . I wonder what he did, exactly . " Han Sen weighed the mystery in his mind .
But Han Sen also felt a streak of relief . If Saint Fan truly had the power of resurrecting spirits and creatures, it was almost too frightening a thing to comprehend .
Saint Fan was not invincible in the Third God's Sanctuary, despite his immense amount of power . Even he had a limit .
Then, Han Sen suddenly heard the boisterous spirit scream aloud once more . It looked like he had failed to withstand the power of Little Silver's lightning .
"What did Little Silver do to become so strong? He must have eaten more than the nine-tailed fox's geno essence I let him have . He must have unearthed some fairly nifty treasure," Han Sen thought .
But the silver fox and all the super creatures on Ghost Mountain had all disappeared without a trace, so he thought something fairly more substantial had taken place, as well .
Saint Fan shouted, and turning to look, Han Sen saw a lot of strange light beam right into him .
From out of Saint Fan, a snake head, lion body, and spider claws were all beginning to grow .
Han Sen said, "All these creatures were a part of him already? They didn't resurrect, they were just birthed by him!"
Now, all the super creatures and king spirits of the field became one with Saint Fan . His body became stronger, and it made Little Silver's glow look fainter .
The silver fox looked like he was having a hard time keeping up the constant discharge of electricity .
Saint Fan was becoming more powerful than they thought could be possible, as he grew to encompass a mish-mash of all those different creatures . The silver lightning was no longer enough to keep him at bay .
Water can extinguish fire, but if the fire is too strong, not even water can help .
