Golden List Live: I Really Can't Hide Anymore!

Chapter 325: The Arhat Golden Body!

[Sun Wukong: So, this is the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique! Such terrifying power—this is the strength that Saints can command!]

At this moment, Sun Wukong was overwhelmed by two sensations.

First, he was utterly shocked. He had never imagined that the power of Saints could be so vast. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique performed by Houtu was overwhelmingly powerful—so much so that ordinary Saints could not withstand it.

Second, he felt envious. The sheer strength made him long for it, though he knew it was just a fantasy. Still, Sun Wukong was keenly aware that if he possessed such power, not only could he escape the oppression of Five Elements Mountain, but he could also march into the Great Thunderclap Temple himself and easily deal with Tathagata.

Even if the other two Saints of the Western Paradise confronted him, a Sun Wukong with that level of strength would have nothing to fear.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation resided in the underworld, a place Sun Wukong had visited before. However, he had been fortunate enough not to encounter it.

Had the immense power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation been unleashed during his incursion into the underworld, he would never have been able to erase his name—and those of his entire tribe of monkeys—from the Book of Life and Death.

Previously, Sun Wukong had no knowledge of the many formidable experts in the underworld. He had assumed that, during his intrusion, he was the strongest there, and that was why everyone avoided him out of fear.

Now, he gradually understood. Although he was formidable, there were still many in the underworld capable of subduing him. For reasons unknown, they had simply chosen not to appear at the time.

Houtu, for instance, might not have been able to emerge directly from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but even a fragment of her power could have easily trapped Sun Wukong, forcing him into reincarnation.

The scene playing out before him showed that even ten Sun Wukongs would have been powerless within the Six Paths of Reincarnation. A hundred, or even a thousand, would be no different.

The sheer scale of the Six Paths of Reincarnation rendered numbers meaningless. No matter how many individuals entered, they would be absorbed. Only immense power could hope to break it.

[Jieyin: As expected, Houtu's strength should not be underestimated. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique is truly extraordinary!]

Although Jieyin seemed nonchalant, he was inwardly astounded. As a Saint himself, he fully grasped the power of Houtu's technique.

The most terrifying aspect of this technique was not its raw destructive capability but its range. If Houtu wished, she could potentially send half of the people in the Primordial World into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Of course, stronger beings would be exceptions to this.

Who could have predicted that Houtu, once among the weakest of the Twelve Ancestors of Wu, would rise to become such a formidable Saint?

Houtu owed her ascent entirely to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Without it, she could never have attained sainthood. However, her destiny had aligned, and she not only became a Saint but also gained the ability to step outside the Six Paths of Reincarnation. As a result, other Saints began to regard her as a powerful force.

Though the Wu tribe was no longer the protagonist of the Primordial World, the emergence of a Saint among their ranks made them a force to be reckoned with. As long as Houtu existed, the Wu tribe's survival was guaranteed.

The real headache now lay with the demon race.

The Wu and demon races were natural enemies. Previously, their power was relatively balanced, and though the Great War between them had resulted in heavy losses on both sides, they remained evenly matched.

As both clans declined, one might have expected this equilibrium to persist. Yet, the sudden appearance of Houtu as a Saint shattered that balance.

The demon race, caught off guard, could hardly contend with the newly empowered Houtu. Even if Lu Ya succeeded in resurrecting Emperor Jun, they would still be no match for a Saint wielding the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Fortunately for the demon race, the current laws of heaven and earth forbade large-scale chaos. The Wu tribe was unable to recklessly provoke the demon race. This was not due to the decrees of any particular Saint but rather the rules established by the Heavenly Dao itself.

Thus, even with Houtu's strength, the Wu tribe could only maintain peace if they followed these rules. This mutual restraint ensured no major conflicts erupted between the two clans, despite Houtu's reappearance.

For the demon race, the strategy was simple: avoid confrontation with the Wu tribe and retreat to a hidden place to survive. This ensured the continuation of their lineage without fear of annihilation.

Houtu, for her part, was not as intimidating as they imagined. After becoming a Saint, she adhered to the rules and had no intention of eradicating the demon race unless provoked.

Houtu understood the vast disparity between Saints and those beneath their realm. It was a gulf that no amount of numbers could bridge. Therefore, she paid little attention to the actions of weaker beings.

The recent scene displayed in the livestream room had left the demon race in silent awe.

[Laozi: After witnessing the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, it's clear that even ordinary Saints would struggle to resist. Just how much did Houtu gain from the Six Paths of Reincarnation? Truly intriguing!]

Laozi was well aware of Houtu's circumstances. Though she was a relatively new Saint and lacked powerful artifacts, her strength could only be rivaled by the Saint Hongjun himself.

Even Laozi regarded Houtu with respect.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation was a technique no Saint dared to underestimate. Its destructive potential made Houtu a force to be reckoned with.

Yet, despite her power, Houtu appeared calm and content. She seemed uninterested in making waves, and the other Saints, too, refrained from provoking her. For now, the world was poised for a period of uneasy peace.
