Gagagagaga...
The Tree Demon struck by the Darkness Spirit Spear let out an utterly agonized scream and roar...
Crack, crack, crack...
The vines and armor covering its body twisted and shattered, crackling and bursting with muffled pops. As those bursts tore them apart, they turned to ash in less than half a breath, revealing the Tree Demon's translucent, black-green humanoid true form...
The instant its true form was exposed, the Tree Demon opened its mouth and spat out a strange Fruit-Core Treasure that spun through the water. Its translucent black-green body plunged straight into the Fruit-Core Treasure...
What happened next made Ye Han frown...
Shhk...
The black spear's spear-ray pierced straight through the Fruit-Core Treasure, passing through without a sound...
It did not happen as Ye Han had expected: the black spear-ray should have pierced the Tree Demon, devoured its body, and killed it outright...
That instant of impact felt very familiar to Ye Han. It was just like attacking the Heaven-Sealing Gate: the treasure completely disregarded his spear-ray attack, letting it pass straight through...
This truly astonished Ye Han. Did these Tree Demons possess heaven-sealing power too?
No, it wasn't the Tree Demons that possessed heaven-sealing power!
It was the life-saving Fruit-Core Treasure this Tree Demon had released. It possessed heaven-sealing power and had disregarded his spear-ray attack in that instant...
At the same time,

A series of startling hums and tremors arose as an aura of brilliant Golden Light Runes and spirit light flickered and surged within the Fruit-Core Treasure...
Whoosh...
Radiant spirit light surged, and the Fruit-Core Treasure plunged into a rift in the void, vanishing from the lake...
Even Ye Han looked deeply surprised. The last time he had encountered a Fruit-Core Treasure released by a Tree Demon like this, he had not noticed anything
