Following that, the twins' group tried several methods to remove the fruit from the tree. They even went to different pods, thinking that perhaps the other ones would be easier to cut off. Well, that was all for nothing, and the fruits simply didn't come out at all.
Roan even tried to use his Dark Element directly at the stem. Even if the process was slow, it would be worth it if they could bring these fruits away. Yet, he greatly underestimated the Astral Tree's regeneration ability. His Dark Element did indeed manage to ever so slightly corrode the stem's skin, but it regenerated faster than he could damage it.
The Laws of Darkness and the Red Lightning did little to improve Roan's powers. Of course, his suppressed cultivation didn't help at all. The Astral Tree seemed capable of countering the Laws Roan used, so using them or not changed pretty much nothing.
