Golden Sacred Dragon

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Luo Nan originally awakened the Golden Sacred Dragon in an undeveloped form known as Luo Sanpao. It resembled a pale-purple pig with large ears and was considered a defective mutation with only a fart-based Spirit Skill, leading the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to dismiss it as a worthless Martial Soul 2 56.

Luo Nan secretly cultivated by absorbing Spirit Rings from dragon-bloodline Spirit Beasts. His attempt to absorb a ten-thousand-year Fire-Armored Flying Dragon as his fourth Spirit Ring nearly destroyed his body and sea of consciousness, but it triggered Luo Sanpao's atavistic evolution. Its body developed golden scales, dragon claws, wings, and a true dragon form, becoming the Golden Sacred Dragon 3.

The evolved Martial Soul later displayed the intertwined auras of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice. Di Tian identified these as the powers of the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King. Luo Nan later obtained Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire through the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, which grew in the terrain created by the two Dragon Kings' remains; the full reason his Golden Sacred Dragon carries their auras remains unclear 40 42 179.

For much of Luo Nan's early cultivation, the Golden Sacred Dragon was intrinsically inferior to and suppressed by his Dark Demon Dragon, creating an unstable imbalance after the latter gained powerful dark-attribute Spirit Rings. Following Luo Nan's rise to rank 98, however, the Golden Sacred Dragon evolved until it equaled the Dark Demon Dragon, allowing the two Martial Souls to reach perfect balance 44 75 163.

Appearance

The Golden Sacred Dragon is a massive, winged dragon covered in scales described as brilliant gold or molten gold. Its appearance is associated with sacred radiance, overwhelming dragon might, and an emperor-like presence 12 73.

• Broad golden wings capable of carrying Luo Nan over long distances. 12 73
• Thick dragon claws used in direct combat and Spirit Skills. 37 74
• Golden eyes compared to blazing suns. 73
• Gold scales durable enough that Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword could not break a single one. 116
• Its size varies with Luo Nan's manifestation and Martial Soul Avatar, ranging from over twenty meters to more than three hundred meters. 12 176
• At its largest, its mountain-sized body and outstretched wings can dominate the battlefield and exert tangible higher-dragon pressure over a wide area. 103 176

Personality

Unlike ordinary beast Martial Souls, the Golden Sacred Dragon possesses independent consciousness and high intelligence. It communicates telepathically with Luo Nan, allowing the pair to coordinate attacks without verbal commands 12.

It responds eagerly to battle, roaring with visible fighting spirit when Luo Nan prepares to hunt powerful dragon-type Soul Beasts. Its conduct consistently reflects loyalty to Luo Nan and readiness to engage his enemies directly 12 73.

The dragon can follow Luo Nan's instructions while he withdraws from direct combat to prepare an ambush, maintaining pressure on enemies as an autonomous vanguard 74 149.
