The Doomsday Spear's flame fighting qi stab ignited a great fire on the Tree Demon's trunk.
Bai Pu's current energy "purity" is at the Enhanced Lord Level, and with the Doomsday Spear's purple weapon, it's not inferior to a One-star King Level.
Logically, an attack at the One-star King Level should smash the Lord Level Tree Demon effortlessly, killing it instantly.
However, Bai Pu's attack didn't accomplish an instant kill; it merely burned a large hole through the Tree Demon's trunk, and the invading fighting qi energy was exhausted and extinguished.
This is because Bai Pu's basic attributes are relatively low (only about two-thirds of the same-level Lords in the Heart Demon World), limiting his basic damage value.
Moreover, Bai Pu's personal template restricts his "maximum energy point" output per burst, affecting his combat power amplitude.
These two points are evidence of Bai Pu's internal injuries that the natives see, unable to regain his peak power.
