Chapter 54: The Abyssal Dragon Descends

---

A New Challenger Approaches

Lucian stood victorious over Feng Tianyi, but before the crowd could even process the outcome, a thunderous roar shook the arena.

BOOM!

The sky darkened, and a terrifying black dragon phantom coiled above the stage. A suffocating pressure filled the air, making even the strongest cultivators feel like ants before an immortal god.

A man walked out. His long silver hair flowed behind him, and his abyssal golden eyes locked onto Lucian.

"Lucian Valcrest… you are no righteous hero."

The new opponent had arrived.

The Dark Prince of the Abyss

Name: Xian Wraithborn

Title: Abyssal Dragon's Successor

Cultivation: Half-Step Immortal King

The crowd erupted in whispers.

"That's Xian Wraithborn! The genius who killed an immortal at the age of sixteen!"

"A direct descendant of the Abyssal Dragon Bloodline… Lucian is finished!"

Lucian, however, remained composed.

"Another chosen hero… and yet another fool."

The Battle Begins

Xian vanished, appearing behind Lucian in an instant. His palm, wrapped in black dragon scales, struck forward.

"Abyssal Dragon's Grip!"

Lucian barely had time to react before dark claws dug into his flesh, sending him crashing into the arena walls.

BOOM!

A massive crater formed. Blood dripped from Lucian's lips.

But he… smiled.

"Not bad."

He stood up, wiping his mouth. His golden aura flared, merging with a dark undertone.

Lucian's Trump Card

Lucian raised his hand, and the Villain System's power surged.

[System Store Activated]

Exchange: 25,000 Villain Points

Item Purchased: Heaven-Destroying Dragon Lance

FWOOOSH!

A golden-black lance materialized in his hands, pulsing with holy and demonic power. The world trembled at its presence.

Xian's confident smirk disappeared.

Lucian twirled the lance. "Let's see if a fake dragon can withstand this."
