Chapter 238: The Incomplete Golden Dragon Spear
"Something's not right… this is clearly the aura of the Golden Dragon King. But wasn't the Golden Dragon King sealed by the gods in the Divine Realm?"
"How can its bloodline aura appear in the Starry Auction Pavilion? Could it be that the Pavilion somehow rescued the Golden Dragon King from the Divine Realm?"
Di Tian and the other fierce beasts were in disbelief. The very idea sounded absurd.
Just a month earlier, their Master had used her elevated strength to stir the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, causing chaos within the Divine Realm.
But now, only one month later, the Golden Dragon King's bloodline aura had manifested on the Douluo Continent.
It was far too bizarre.
"Perhaps it's an artifact created from the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. The power indeed belongs to the King, but its purity is far from complete."
After sensing it further, Di Tian spoke slowly.
If the true, complete bloodline of the Golden Dragon King had appeared, the sheer force of it would have been enough to shatter the entire Starry Auction Pavilion.
…
Star Dou Great Forest, Core Region.
Beneath the Lake of Life, Gu Yuena sat cross-legged within a hidden spatial dimension. Her eyes were closed, and multicolored light flowed around her body as she refined her newly enhanced power.
But suddenly, her eyes snapped open—a flash of prismatic light flickered in them, and her brows furrowed.
The next moment, space rippled softly, and her figure disappeared.
At the same time, a faint spatial fluctuation appeared beside Di Tian inside the Starry Auction Pavilion.
Sensing the familiar aura, the beasts relaxed.
"Master, you're here."
When Gu Yuena appeared, they bowed their heads with respect.
Jiang Li cast her a passing glance but said nothing.
He had sensed her arrival instantly. Within the Starry Auction Pavilion—his own absolute domain—no motion, no matter how subtle, could escape him.
And since Gu Yuena was essentially here to spend money, he saw no reason to interfere.
"Master, did you come here because of the Golden Dragon King's aura?"
Di Tian asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yes," she replied. "The vibration of my bloodline drew me here. To think that a mere trace of the Golden Dragon King's power would appear on Douluo Continent… how strange."
If it had happened elsewhere, she might have suspected a plot from the Divine Realm.
But the Starry Auction Pavilion was unique—its power was unfathomable, its methods mysterious. No one could guess how they had acquired an item infused with the Golden Dragon King's aura.
"Boom!"
Golden light flared in Jiang Li's hand, condensing in midair until it took the form of a magnificent spear.
A low, resonant dragon's roar echoed throughout the hall.
"What kind of weapon is that? The pressure it emits… it's overwhelming!"
"I've felt something similar before—back when that incomplete golden pagoda appeared. Could this golden spear also be a divine artifact?"
"This spear's dragon might—it feels as though it was forged from the very bones of a true dragon!"
The powerful aura shocked every soul master present.
Mu En, Bei Bei, and all those who possessed dragon-type martial spirits felt their dragon bloodlines tremble within them.
"The aura of the Progenitor of Strength… the Golden Dragon King!"
Mu En muttered gravely, his Light Holy Dragon spirit instinctively lowering itself in awe.
The bloodline energy radiating from that spear carried the unmistakable majesty of ultimate power. Nothing short of the legendary Golden Dragon could emit such terrifying might.
"A weapon forged from a Golden Dragon's body? The Starry Auction Pavilion never ceases to amaze! To auction off something like this…"
Elder Xuan's eyes widened.
Any object created from the remains of a Golden Dragon would be a priceless relic—legendary beyond measure.
To think that this wasn't even the final item of the auction… could the Pavilion possibly have deemed it imperfect?
"That can't be…" Gu Yuena's expression darkened as she looked upon the golden spear. Her voice was tinged with disbelief.
The Golden Dragon Spear—she recognized it.
It was an ultimate divine weapon, forged from the Golden Dragon's ribbone itself.
After the Dragon God split into two halves, the weapon should have fallen into the hands of the Divine Realm. So how could it possibly be here?
"No… this isn't the original Golden Dragon Spear."
She soon realized what was off.
"This one hasn't fully matured—it's incomplete."
After carefully sensing it, Gu Yuena detected the missing essence within the weapon's energy.
Although it still contained the Golden Dragon's bloodline, it only carried part of the original strength. The spear had been forged from half of a Golden Dragon ribbone—making it only a semi-finished product.
Though not a true divine weapon, it was still incomparably powerful, easily at the level of a demi-artifact.
"This golden spear before you," Jiang Li announced, "is the fourth auction item: the Golden Dragon Spear."
"As you've guessed, it was crafted from the rib of a Golden Dragon. However, because only half of the material was available, the result was an incomplete version—what we call a semi-finished product."
"Even so, its power reaches the rank of a half-divine weapon."
He spoke calmly, revealing its origin and grade.
When Jiang Li had first acquired it, he'd assumed that the system had stolen it directly from the Divine Realm. Later, he realized it was a newly forged weapon, crafted from half of a true Golden Dragon's rib.
Naturally, its potency couldn't match that of the original divine spear made from the full rib.
As for the source of this half-rib, even Jiang Li had no idea—the system had provided it without explanation.
"This Golden Dragon Spear, however, carries one critical limitation," he added. "It can only be wielded by those who possess a dragon-type martial spirit or dragon bloodline. Anyone else attempting to use it will be violently rejected and suffer backlash from the draconic power within."
"So I warn you all—choose carefully before bidding."
A murmur spread through the hall. The announcement disappointed many.
Such a weapon's strength vastly surpassed any ninth-tier soul tool, but its restriction eliminated most potential owners.
Many sighed quietly in resignation.
