Background / History

Golden Dragon began as Yu Yuan's martial soul, a yellow, fur-covered creature Yu Yuan called Fat Dragon. Though it already possessed the Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline, its appearance initially made Yu Yuan doubt its potential. Xiao Kong's sacrifice as a 990,000-year Temporal Saint Dragon transformed it: its fur disappeared, silver scales formed, and its body became sturdier and more dragon-like 1.

After Yu Yuan extracted Yu Xiaogang's Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline, he and the martial soul absorbed it together. The absorption strengthened Golden Dragon's golden traits, reduced the prominence of its silver scales, awakened its light attribute, and led Yu Yuan to formally rename it Golden Dragon 6.

At the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, Golden Dragon consumed a portion of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. Its body and wings expanded rapidly, while its dragon pressure became powerful enough to suppress Dugu Bo's martial soul 16.

When Yu Yuan descended into the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, Golden Dragon voluntarily answered his summon despite the danger. It wrapped around Yu Yuan, resisted the pool's ice-fire energy with its light attribute and healing capacity, then drove itself into the lakebed with Seismic Toss so Yu Yuan could reach the Dragon Kings below. Its body dissipated from the accumulated damage 21.

Golden Dragon later assisted Yu Yuan's simultaneous absorption of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' soul bones by continuously providing healing breath. It also consumed the remaining Dragon King bones for their bloodline power, although it continued gnawing the depleted bones simply because it liked the taste 25 27.

Appearance

Golden Dragon is a large, winged dragon with a body shaped by both Golden Sacred Dragon and Temporal Saint Dragon bloodlines.

• Interlocking golden and silver scales cover its body; gold is concentrated along its spine and limbs, while silver remains mainly around its head and wings 6.
• Its head is spindle-shaped, with silver-gold vertical pupils and occasional smoke drifting from its nostrils 6.
• It has newly grown wings, initially folded against its sides and contributing to its “fat” appearance 6.
• After consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, its torso and wings grow dramatically larger 16.
• When preparing Red Emperor · Calamity Star, every scale on its body turns crimson 32.

Personality

Golden Dragon has low intelligence and behaves more like an excitable pet than a dignified dragon. It protests the name “Fat Dragon,” but otherwise communicates mainly through growls and “gurgling” noises. It frequently pounces on Yu Yuan, licks his face, sleeps after eating, and eagerly chews bones 6 15 17 27.

Despite these habits, it is deeply loyal to Yu Yuan. It obeys him when corrected, willingly provides healing during dangerous cultivation, and sacrifices its manifested body to protect or assist him in battle 15 21 25.

Abilities & Skills

Dragon Pressure

Golden Dragon possesses a powerful dragon bloodline aura that intensifies as it grows.

• Its uncontrolled pressure frightens Dugu Yan and prompts Yu Yuan to order it to restrain itself 15.
• After consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, its pressure is strong enough to suppress Dugu Bo's martial soul 16.

Light Attribute

The Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline grants Golden Dragon versatile light-element abilities.

• Fires a concentrated light beam that pierces a tree trunk and leaves burning damage around the impact point 6.
• Releases a gentle light wave that restores damaged plant matter 6.
• Its light energy can resist invading ice-fire energy and heal injuries during combat or cultivation 21 25.

Solar Flare

A blinding burst of light gathered in its claw.

• Can instantly blind targets who directly observe the flash 6.
• Yu Yuan later learns the technique through repeated observation and uses it in spirit battles 8.
• The move can also harm Yu Yuan if his dragon eyes are open when it is activated 6.

Seismic Toss

A high-speed diving attack used during Yu Yuan's descent through the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.

• Wraps around Yu Yuan and uses its tail and wings to drive downward through the pool 21.
• The impact with the lakebed lets Yu Yuan reach the bottom, but Golden Dragon dissipates from the damage afterward 21.

Red Emperor · Calamity Star

A self-damaging explosive technique suited to the Fire Dragon King's destructive combat style.

• Turns its scales crimson before charging the target 32.
• Produces immense heat, light, and an explosion large enough to create a mushroom cloud and vaporize a crater 32.
• Kills the 65,000-year Molten Rock Giant Turtle, leaving only its soul ring and shell 32.
• Yu Yuan classifies the technique as forbidden after Golden Dragon is severely injured by its use 32.

Relationships

• Yu Yuan — Master and summoner. Golden Dragon obeys Yu Yuan, fights at his command, and repeatedly risks its body to protect or assist him 6 21 25 32.
• Xiao Kong — Fellow dragon companion. The two bicker over Golden Dragon's preference for gold over silver; Xiao Kong also helps manage the ice-fire energy within Golden Dragon after its sacrifice in the pool 6 24.
• Dugu Yan — Yu Yuan's companion. She kicks Golden Dragon when it pins Yu Yuan down and is frightened by its uncontrolled dragon pressure 15.
