The Supreme Elder's Wrath
Lucian stood his ground, his golden-black aura flickering as he faced the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Court. The old man's presence alone made space tremble—an immortal at his peak, a true celestial being.
The crowd was silent.
Lucian tightened his grip on the Heaven-Destroying Dragon Lance, blood dripping from his lips.
The elder spoke, his voice carrying a terrifying pressure.
"Kneel, child, and accept judgment."
Lucian smirked. "I don't kneel."

The Immortal's Strike
BOOM!
The Supreme Elder moved. Faster than light.
Lucian barely reacted before—
CRACK!
A golden palm struck his chest, sending him crashing through multiple mountains.
Blood splattered.
His ribs shattered. His vision blurred.
The audience gasped in horror.

The Wives' Despair
From the VIP stands, Lucian's fiancée, Annalise Vermilion, clenched her fists, her eyes filled with pain.
One of his wives, a powerful empress, whispered, "No… he can't die… not like this."
Even those who once hated him felt their hearts tighten.
For the first time, the mighty Lucian Valcrest was struggling.

System Warning
[Host's Life Force Critically Low!]
[Activating Emergency Protocol—Villain Resurrection Inaccessible Until Next Arc]
Lucian coughed a mouthful of blood. His body refused to move.
His mind screamed: Move! But he couldn't.
The Supreme Elder raised his palm again.
"This is your end."

Lucian's Defeat
BOOM!
A golden explosion erased the battlefield.
The audience cried out in horror.
When the dust cleared…
Lucian's body lay motionless, drenched in blood.
The wives watched in silent agony.
One by one, tears fell.
For the first time in history…
Lucian Valcrest had lost.
