"What is this!"
The Liang Tian Chi suddenly shot out three beams of light, startling Dong Wang Gong, who was refining it.
After a surprised cry, he had no time to consider, and quickly moved aside, trying to dodge the three beams of light.
However, to guard against Xu Fang's sudden attack to snatch back the Liang Tian Chi, Dong Wang Gong was very close to the artifact. Even though he dodged immediately, he was still grazed by the three beams of light.
Dong Wang Gong cried out in pain and quickly retreated.
He looked down and saw that where the three beams of light had grazed him, although they were only small wounds, they were now excruciatingly painful.
The wound grazed by the golden light rapidly expanded, wearing away flesh and blood and heading towards his bones.
As for the wounds caused by the silver and purple lights, although they had not changed, Dong Wang Gong felt his mind disoriented and his body swayed precariously.
"Damn it!"
"Damn little grass, what vicious and poisonous techniques are these!"
Dong Wang Gong looked up at Xu Fang, furious.
He now knew that these must have been caused by the little grass manipulating the artifact.
However, he still couldn't understand why he, who was refining the artifact, had not sensed any change in it when the little grass manipulated it.
But this was not important. What was important was that this little grass had actually injured him in such a vicious way.
"Gold, silver, and purple?"
Dong Wang Gong quickly pondered. In the vast primordial world, poisonous substances with such characteristics soon came to mind, and he was greatly alarmed.
"Could it be the Three Lights Divine Water of Sun, Moon, and Stars?"
Dong Wang Gong stared intently at Xu Fang. Ordinary poisons he could handle, but if it were truly the Three Lights Divine Water, it would be troublesome!
"You are quite knowledgeable. Indeed, this is the Three Lights Divine Water."
Xu Fang smiled slightly and waved his hand. The Liang Tian Chi, which had been suspended in mid-air, immediately flew into Xu Fang's hand, trembling as if seeking praise.
"How is it? Is my treasure so easily taken?"
Xu Fang looked at Dong Wang Gong meaningfully. He had been a bit anxious when Dong Wang Gong snatched his treasure earlier.
Fortunately, the Liang Tian Chi was not to be trifled with. It had used the Three Lights Divine Water it had absorbed to launch a fierce attack on Dong Wang Gong, leaving him with no escape.
Dong Wang Gong heard this and felt as if his world had ended.
"Is it really the Three Lights Divine Water?"
The last shred of hope in Dong Wang Gong's heart finally vanished.
He had heard of the notorious reputation of the Three Lights Divine Water.
The Golden Sun Divine Water could erode flesh, blood, and bone.
The Silver Moon Divine Water could corrode the primordial spirit and soul.
The Purple Star Divine Water could dissolve true spiritual consciousness.
Looking down at the golden wound that kept expanding, his mind becoming increasingly disoriented, Dong Wang Gong knew he had been thoroughly poisoned.
The wound from the Sun Divine Water would inevitably spread throughout his body.
And the Moon Divine Water and Star Divine Water were, unbeknownst to him, corroding his primordial spirit and soul, and dissolving his true spiritual consciousness.
If he did not receive timely treatment, without Xu Fang needing to act, he would perish, disappearing into thin air!
Dong Wang Gong glared fiercely at Xu Fang, his eyes filled with venom.
"Good grass! I remember this debt today, and I will repay it tenfold in the future!"
With that said, Dong Wang Gong turned into a beam of light and fled into the distance.
If he lingered here any longer, his life would be forfeit!
What was Penglai Immortal Island, what were merit-based spiritual treasures, none were as important as his own life!
Therefore, Dong Wang Gong fled without looking back, with little hesitation.
However, he was puzzled that there was no movement behind him, and Xu Fang did not pursue him.
"Hmph!"
Dong Wang Gong snorted coldly. Did this little grass think he would die from the Three Lights Divine Water?
But this was also good. He was truly not in a state to continue fighting. When he met this damned grass again in the future, he would definitely make it pay for its arrogance!
Thinking thus, Dong Wang Gong disappeared into the distant horizon, leaving no trace.
Seeing this, the Liang Tian Chi was greatly puzzled.
"Why didn't you chase? Little Xu, what are you afraid of?"
The Liang Tian Chi asked. Although Dong Wang Gong's cultivation realm was higher than Xu Fang's, he was now greatly weakened by the potent poison of the Three Lights Divine Water.
Furthermore, if Dong Wang Gong were to circulate his magical power, it would only accelerate the poison's effects, making him weaker and more vulnerable.
Why was this little Li standing there foolishly, letting Dong Wang Gong escape when it was such a prime opportunity to strike a fallen foe?
"Dong Wang Gong is not worth fearing. The key is that Penglai Immortal Island must not be exposed."
Xu Fang replied, using the safety of Penglai Immortal Island as an excuse.
In his heart, he knew very well that Dong Wang Gong was an immortal favored by destiny. Even with the help of the Liang Tian Chi, he might not be able to keep him.
It was better to let him go. The current crucial issue was how to completely conceal Penglai Immortal Island and prevent Dong Wang Gong or anyone else from discovering it.
"Indeed, Penglai Island is the most important thing. This is our home, and it must not be coveted by others!"
Hearing this, the Liang Tian Chi found the reasoning sound and immediately began offering advice to Xu Fang.
"We are all beings born on Penglai Immortal Island, and we can enter and exit the protective array of Penglai without obstruction."
"Kid, you should thoroughly study this array and modify it, and see if you can control the opening and closing of this array to serve as a barrier."
Xu Fang nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, I was just planning to refine Penglai Immortal Island into my dojo. I ask Brother Chi for your assistance!"
"Of course!"
The Liang Tian Chi readily agreed. Xu Fang was now its master, and having Penglai Immortal Island as a dojo was naturally a joyous occasion for both.
Moreover, it was their birthplace. Rather than fall into the hands of others, it was better for them to refine it themselves.
They acted immediately. Xu Fang, holding the Liang Tian Chi, descended and stood on the protective array of Penglai Immortal Island, beginning his research.
However, before Xu Fang could even finish examining the entire array, a sudden anomaly occurred!
The protective array trembled violently, causing the surrounding sea to churn and surge like a tsunami.
At this moment, a blinding light erupted from the array, like a sun exploding. The fierce aura made Xu Fang dare not resist and forced him to retreat repeatedly.
He squinted to look, and as the blinding light flashed incessantly, Xu Fang involuntarily closed his eyes.
When he felt the light disappear, Xu Fang opened his eyes and was instantly dumbfounded.
The sea surface was now calm and tranquil. Where Penglai Immortal Island had been, there was now nothing. The shadow of Penglai Immortal Island was nowhere to be seen!
