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

Chapter 314: Rankings Announced!

[Sun Wukong]: Xuanyuan is truly remarkable. Just his swordsmanship alone earned him the 33rd rank. In the vast Primordial World, whose swordsmanship could surpass his?

[Erlang Shen]: You seem to have forgotten Tongtian Jiaozhu. As a Saint, his strength and weapons are far superior!

[Nezha]: The rankings for the Three Sovereigns aren't as high as one would imagine. It seems the Three Sovereigns aren't as unified or powerful as people thought!

Everyone's understanding of the Three Sovereigns varies. Because they cultivated together in the same place, many assumed their strengths were equal, never considering the possibility of differences between them.

[Ancestor Minghe]: Being ranked 33rd is already impressive. If that's not satisfying enough, then it's a bit greedy!

The rankings on the Golden List are preordained, and once listed, they do not change. Besides the Golden List, the rewards from past entries already demonstrate the power of their divine abilities. Xuanyuan securing 33rd place is commendable, far surpassing the majority of beings in Honghuang.

The Three Sovereigns are detached from worldly affairs and indifferent to fame and fortune, leaving many unaware of their true strength. Despite their immense renown, they lack a definitive evaluation.

Moreover, this is a ranking of techniques and divine abilities, not overall strength. As long as the technique is extraordinary, even if the wielder's strength is lacking, they can still be ranked without any issue.

[Bull Demon King]: There's nothing wrong with the rankings, but what comes next is something to look forward to!

After extensive discussion, the rankings in the livestream faded, and a new list slowly emerged.

The rankings continued to be revealed.

[32nd Rank on the Technique List: Five-Colored Divine Light — User: Kong Xuan]

This ranking surprised everyone. No one expected Kong Xuan to make the list.

The reasons for their surprise are twofold. First, his overall strength isn't on par with others. Second, his divine ability, while potent, isn't focused on direct destruction but instead disarms enemies by taking their weapons and making them his own.

Among recent entrants to the rankings, Kong Xuan is one of the weakest in terms of raw power and fame. Yet his divine ability alone secured him a position, and a high one at that.

Who could have anticipated that Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light would earn him a spot on the list and showcase its extraordinary potential?

[Chiyou]: Is his divine ability really that formidable? Being ranked 32nd is quite close to the top, and with his level of strength, it's surprising he made it. There are plenty of stronger individuals whose divine abilities are no weaker than his!

[Taiyi Zhenren]: If you've never witnessed or fought against him, it's natural to underestimate the power of his divine ability. Judging him too lightly would be a grave mistake!

[Chiyou]: So what's so exceptional about this man and his divine ability? What makes it so unique?

[Taiyi Zhenren]: This divine ability is extraordinarily unique. Once activated, it can sweep away all things. If it captures your weapon, it vanishes and falls into his control. When facing him, dodging is the only option—don't let him target you!

Taiyi Zhenren recalled witnessing Kong Xuan's abilities during the Investiture of the Gods War. Disciples of the Chan Sect who had fought him firsthand also described his challenging nature.

[Guangchengzi]: The rankings on the Golden List are highly reasonable. If he's placed at this rank, it means his divine ability has immense untapped potential!

[Chiyou]: I see now. I underestimated him. It's my mistake. Unfortunately, I've never had the chance to fight him or even watch him battle—it's truly a pity!

With so many powerful individuals vouching for Kong Xuan, it was clear his strength wasn't superficial.

[Sun Wukong]: Many on the list are unfamiliar to us, and we've never seen their divine abilities in action. That's why some of the rankings feel strange!

[Bull Demon King]: Unfortunately, though Kong Xuan belongs to the demon race, he's now aligned with Buddhism and has no ties to the demons.

Kong Xuan had long been associated with Buddhism and showed no intention of returning to the demon race. Even if the demons desired his strength, they couldn't claim it.

[Ancestor Minghe]: The Five-Colored Divine Light is mysterious indeed, but its high ranking is surprising. Its late appearance raised questions, but its placement now still leaves many confused!

The Five-Colored Divine Light doesn't directly harm enemies but strips them of their weapons, significantly reducing their combat strength.

For those heavily reliant on magical artifacts, encountering Kong Xuan would be disastrous. Without their weapons, they wouldn't stand a chance against him. While his divine ability may seem weak on the surface, its practical applications are formidable.

Compared to others on the rankings, Kong Xuan's personal strength isn't as prominent, but his divine ability earns its place.

[Xuanyuan]: Kong Xuan focuses solely on earning merits, but such things hold no value to us Three Sovereigns.

Merit was the one thing the Three Sovereigns lacked the least. Kong Xuan sought it to enhance his strength, as it was a quick way to grow stronger.

[Houtu]: Kong Xuan's high placement indicates the exceptional strength of his divine ability!

[Tathagata]: This isn't surprising at all. Kong Xuan's strength, combined with his divine ability, makes him a nightmare in battle!

Once someone's weapon is taken by the Five-Colored Divine Light, even the strongest would feel unsettled. Losing a trusted weapon often means a significant drop in combat effectiveness, with most unable to retain even 80% of their original strength.

This is why Kong Xuan's divine ability is so formidable. Though it may seem weak at first glance, it is devastating in practice. However, it's not invincible and can still be countered under specific circumstances.
