Chapter 60 True Dragon Egg
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, which had been lying in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness and sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up at this moment.
He secretly observed the item on the auction floor through his mental power, and said to Huo Yuhao in surprise: "Huh? How could it be that it is actually an ancient ice dragon?"
"This feeling of extreme ice is definitely correct, and the blood contained in it, and the pure dragon power that comes with it cannot be faked. Although it is just a young dragon, it is definitely a direct descendant of the dragon clan."
"What? Brother Tianmeng, have you ever seen an ancient ice dragon?" Huo Yuhao asked in return.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smiled awkwardly but politely, and continued: "Ahem, of course not. Although my life span is not short, the extinction of the dragon race may be longer than you think."
"But I have seen it with my own eyes before. It may be the only real dragon left in the world of Douluo Continent. I can still recognize its dragon power."
After listening to what Tianmeng Bingcan said, Huo Yuhao seemed to be thinking about something, while Tianmeng Bingcan continued to speak.
"But these guys from the dragon clan are extremely unique even among our soul beasts. You may have heard of the so-called super soul beasts."
"The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that claims to be able to tear apart dragons of the same level alive is just the boasting and imagination of you humans."
"A true dragon wouldn't be afraid of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. You humans are just flattering the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."
'Moreover, the innate cultivation strength of a true dragon is different from that of an ordinary soul beast, and its growth limit is even different. It even carries inherited memories.'
Speaking of this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was full of envy. Even though he had practiced for a million years, his bloodline always restricted his growth.
'But even so, the bloodlines of those super soul beasts will extremely repel those humans who want to absorb their power.'
'Not to mention the True Dragon Clan, whose bloodline level and proud personality far surpass those of other soul beasts.'
'Although the source of this external soul bone is only a hundred-year-old ancient ice dragon, I have no doubt about this.'
'According to common sense, the pressure of Dragon Might and the repulsion of Extreme Ice can be suppressed by sufficiently strong cultivation, such as a Titled Douluo taking action to forcibly suppress it, thus achieving the first step in establishing a connection.'
"But if this situation really happens, then at the moment of fusion, I'm afraid this old antique will self-destruct. Therefore, this soul bone is absolutely impossible to be absorbed by anyone other than those with the ultimate ice attribute and pure dragon aura."
"So whoever spends a lot of money to buy it will probably be the unlucky one." At this point, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was somewhat gloating.
'Although it is only at the 100-year level, this soul bone may have existed longer than me.'
"After all, most of my cultivation was gained by consuming natural treasures, not by a real million years."
'But this doesn't make sense. After all, if it really existed for so long, then under the polishing of the power of time, this hundred-year-old soul bone, even if it is strong enough, should not have survived until now.'
Having said that, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became a little hesitant and began to doubt his previous judgment.
However, the ten minutes of viewing this soul bone had already passed, and all forces were gearing up and ready for this round of bidding.
Among them, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Shrek Academy, and Body Sect were particularly enthusiastic.
Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen's younger sister, is even more talented in fighting than her brother.
If her ice attribute can be transformed into the ultimate ice, then when she grows up, she can completely make up for the embarrassing situation that the Sun-Moon Empire only has top-level soul instructors but no top-level soul masters.
Needless to say, Shrek Academy, suppressing the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao, and the ultimate ice soul master are both great temptations.
As for the Body Sect, they simply had some ideas about this top-level soul bone, but they were not going to go through the formal process for the auction. After all, they just came here by chance to inquire about the situation.
Their real purpose is actually the last item to be auctioned. Before that, there is no need to expose their strength too much.
The starting price of this ice dragon's external soul bone is as high as 10 million gold soul coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 50,000 gold soul coins. Such a price directly surpasses all the items that have appeared before, pushing the auction to a new height.
As the bidding competition continued, the price of this external soul bone quickly exceeded 30 million, and it was still rising, and it was even approaching 40 million.
At this time, the most competitive bids were in VIP Room No. 1 where the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire was, VIP Room No. 2 where the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was, and VIP Room No. 7 where Shrek and his group were.
But soon, the price stopped rising when it crossed 40 million and just reached the 50 million mark.
After all, Xu Jiujiu had said it very clearly before that this soul bone was extremely difficult to absorb. Even in their Xing Luo Empire, no one had been able to successfully absorb it after paying a high price.
Spending 50 million to gamble on the unknown possibility of becoming an ultimate Ice Soul Master, the risks involved can naturally be imagined by those who participated in the auction.
And this is only the second-to-last item to be auctioned. The last item, which is considered to be the most valuable treasure, has not yet appeared.
Therefore, at this time, apart from the Shrek Academy which was determined to win, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire in VIP Room No. 1 did not continue to bid, but left the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and Shrek Academy to compete.
Finally, when the price reached fifty-nine million, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and others in VIP Room No. 2 gave up the idea of continuing the bidding, and the item fell into the hands of Shrek Academy.
However, in this way, Shrek Academy's expenditure this time can be regarded as unprecedented. After all, as an academy, at least in name only, it is an academy without any other source of funds.
He had to support Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent, and Shrek City, an important city. He also had to maintain the reputation of Shrek Academy and not do anything that would damage its "honor". At the same time, he had to maintain the training resources for a group of elders and inner court disciples.
In fact, the funds that Shrek Academy can mobilize are not much, and they have not received any inside information about the auction before. The liquid funds that can be mobilized are only about 60 million.
At this time, Xuanzi had pressed them all forward and bought the ice dragon's external soul bone.
And what follows is the real purpose of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master and the Body Sect coming to this auction. They got the information in advance through their insiders in the Star Luo Empire, or the information that the Star Luo Empire deliberately gave them in advance.
This auction has the greatest value, it can even be said to be unprecedented and it is probably a treasure that will never appear in the future.
"Next, it will be today's finale item." The picture on the soul guide screen flashed again, and this time Xu Jiujiu changed into a golden palace dress. This golden auction dress represented that the final auction price of the next item might exceed 100 million gold soul coins.
"Dear guests, you can tell from Jiujiu's outfit how precious our finale lot will be today."
"And the next lot is the only one I have ever seen. Its value is probably difficult to measure in monetary terms."
"This item was collected from overseas by our Starlight Auction House along with the Ice Dragon's external soul bone."
"Yes, the next lot is also related to the dragon clan, and Jiujiu can guarantee it here."
After a slight pause, everyone held their breath, not daring to miss what Xu Jiujiu would say next. They only heard Xu Jiujiu continue, "This item is definitely related to a pure-blooded real dragon."
Following a long gesture, the soul guide screen changed. A huge red crystal appeared on the screen, as tall as two people.
Surprisingly, it was a huge egg that was as tall as a person and was dark red in color, as if it was flowing with real flames.
"!!!"
Regardless of whether they had known the news in advance, everyone present was shocked beyond words.
Because of the existence of the VIP room, the auctioneer cannot interact with the auction participants in real time.
But at this moment, Xu Jiujiu also answered the question that everyone wanted to ask: "Yes, this is a dragon egg, and it is a living dragon egg!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the VIPs in the VIP rooms, regardless of their status, were shocked. At the same time, they also understood why this item was qualified to be placed last as the finale.
A living dragon egg! This is something that only appears in legends. The dragon race is extinct, but the legacy left by the dragon race has benefited every generation of soul masters in Douluo Continent.
Even Huo Yuhao knew that it was because of the death of the Dragon God that soul beasts and soul masters appeared on Douluo Star.
Most of the dragon clan perished along with the Dragon God. The remaining dragons in Douluo Continent today are either of impure blood or the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, who exists to protect the Silver Dragon King.
The appearance of this dragon egg also made Huo Yuhao understand one thing and answered the question raised by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm before.
Why can a hundred-year-old soul bone survive until now?
After the appearance of the dragon egg, there is probably only one explanation for this problem, and that is the dragon world, or the dragon tomb.
The tomb where the entire dragon clan is buried is also the place where the last power of the dragon clan is preserved.
The previous external soul bone and the current dragon egg probably came from there.
As for why it leaked out, there are too many explanations, whether it was due to the instability of space, the influence of luck, or other reasons. There is no need for Huo Yuhao to worry about it at this moment.
Compared to the external soul bone and this dragon egg, the most valuable information is actually hidden.
That is, the origin of these two things, the continent hidden overseas and the dragon tomb hidden on that continent.
Compared to the dragon tomb, even the so-called treasure pot like the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire can be said to be nothing.
However, with Huo Yuhao's current abilities, there is definitely no hope for him to get his hands on the Dragon Tomb. But now the appearance of these two treasures has indeed pointed out a direction for Huo Yuhao, a direction to explore one day in the future.
"All of you distinguished guests should know how powerful and terrifying the true dragon is. The Beast God, who ranks first among the ten fierce beasts and is the strongest among the soul beasts, is the only true dragon whose existence is known on the continent today."
"Perhaps you will have some concerns about this, but you can rest assured."
"Although the Beast God is powerful, he has always adhered to his principles and will not easily leave the Star Dou Great Forest."
"And you should be able to see from this dragon egg that it belongs to the Fire Dragon Clan, not the Black Dragon Clan of the Beast God."
"We speculate that the crystal wrapped around this dragon egg is the key to ensuring that this dragon egg remains active."
"Even when a Super Douluo took action, he could only knock off a small piece of its surface with great difficulty."
Next to this huge crystal, there is a display stand, and on the display stand is a red crystal the size of a little finger.
"This crystal contains extremely stable fire energy, and it is extremely powerful. However, no matter what method we use, we cannot activate it."
"I'm afraid this is also the secret method of the dragon race, but it is too ancient. Nowadays, there is no record of how to use it in our Xingluo Empire."
"But this is a real dragon. If we can hatch it, even if it's just a baby dragon, using its bloodline will be enough to create a group of powerful fire attribute spirit masters, or even directly improve the bloodline and martial spirit of the entire family."
The VIPs in each VIP room had fiery eyes, and they could no longer calm down at this moment.
Even though there were many problems in Xu Jiujiu's words, he was right about one thing, that is, a real dragon is full of treasures from head to toe.
If such a large dragon egg is well preserved, even if it cannot be hatched, but if the egg liquid inside can be used as a treasure, is it possible to add the true dragon bloodline of the martial soul to one's offspring and purify the ultimate attributes?
And if it can be hatched, wouldn't it be equivalent to a continuous source of dragon blood?
As long as it is well maintained, with the help of a constant supply of dragon blood, it is entirely possible to support the emergence of an Ultimate Douluo with the ultimate fire attribute and dragon characteristics in every generation!
With such value, it is no wonder that it will be the last to appear. It is indeed much higher than the previous ice dragon external soul bone.
"Well, there's no need to say more about this precious treasure. I'll stop here and start the thirty-minute exhibition."
"In thirty minutes, the auction will officially begin!"
