Both My Parents Are Supremes—Why Should I Fear a Child of Destiny? - Chapter 20:

Chapter 20: Targeted by Destiny

Humiliation. That was the only thought in Chu Fan’s mind right now. But it was also the reality he had no choice but to face. With such a vast gap in strength, what use was a last-minute breakthrough?

Seeing Chu Fan’s eyes filled with hatred, as if he wanted to tear him apart, Su Ming remained completely unmoved.

But suddenly, Su Ming sensed a malicious intent—pure and overwhelming. It wasn’t coming from Chu Fan, but from the heavens and earth themselves.

The Crimson Flame Beasts that had previously retreated now erupted in a frenzy, all charging at Su Ming without exception.

“How is this possible?”

Su Ming elbowed the nearest Crimson Flame Beast to death, then looked straight at Chu Fan.

“System, activate Destiny Vision!” he shouted in his heart.

The attacks from the beasts continued, but Su Ming didn’t bother with them anymore. With the change in his vision, he finally saw the truth.

That malicious intent came from Chu Fan’s destiny.

Even though Su Ming had already stolen the core of it, the remaining amount was still massive.

A vine extended from Chu Fan’s destiny and connected to the surrounding Crimson Flame Beasts, controlling them to attack Su Ming.

“So that’s what it is…” At this moment, Su Ming truly felt what it meant to be targeted by destiny—the feeling his parents once described.

Now, Chu Fan’s destiny had recognized Su Ming as the root of its obstruction, and was beginning to exert its power to eliminate him.

Of course, for Su Ming, this was also an opportunity.

Since Chu Fan’s destiny no longer transformed into fortunate encounters to aid the protagonist’s growth, it meant Su Ming could plunder it more directly.

[Host has encountered a Destiny Targeting Event. As one who reverses fate and robs destiny, please endure this wave of targeting.]

[After breaking through the targeting, a mysterious reward will be granted.]

The system’s prompt gave Su Ming even more motivation.

The last mysterious reward had given him the Chaos Spirit Crystal. This one was surely something great too.

“I don’t need you to tell me. I’ll make it through this wave of destiny’s revenge!”

With that, Destiny Vision ended, and Su Ming began smashing through all the surrounding Crimson Flame Beasts with his fists.

At the same time, the elders observing the sect’s competition noticed something unusual.

“A beast tide! It’s a beast tide! A beast tide has broken out in the Secret Realm!”

A beast tide referred to a massive gathering of demonic beasts acting with a destructive purpose. On the Heaven Primordial Continent, cities near rivers and mountains were often attacked by them—but within a Secret Realm? That was unheard of.

“Sect Master! With a beast tide like this, we can’t keep track of all the disciples! Please issue the order to withdraw everyone from the Secret Realm immediately!” an elder said urgently out of concern for the disciples.

But Li Jianping ignored his suggestion.

Because he noticed that the direction the beast tide was moving in—was exactly where Su Ming was.

Even if Su Ming’s strength among the younger generation could be called heaven-defying, with such a huge number of beasts attacking, he would be worn down to death!

Although the Secret Realm existed on the Heaven Primordial Continent, it was a separate space. If Su Ming used that terrifying artifact, the impact on the continent would be greatly reduced.

And once the Secret Realm was destroyed, Su Ming would fall into chaotic space currents—a guaranteed death even for someone at the Longevity Realm.

Even if he couldn’t get that terrifying treasure in the end, at least he could eliminate this dangerous threat named Su Ming!

His two parents at the Heavenly Dao Realm were in no position to interfere now, and they couldn’t hold the Trinity Saint Sect accountable anyway!

As for that Dao Guardian… a mere half-step Void Realm artifact—there were ways to handle it.

“It’s just a beast tide. How could disciples of my Trinity Saint Sect retreat just because of that? The competition continues. I’ll keep watch and make sure no accidents happen.”

The elders were shocked by this response, but because of Li Jianping’s status as sect master, they had no choice but to obey.

If Su Ming had activated Destiny Vision again, he would’ve seen a green vine connecting Li Jianping’s body.

Harboring resentment against Su Ming, and now under the influence of destiny’s targeting, Li Jianping had begun to turn extreme.

Inside the Secret Realm, after finishing off the Crimson Flame Beasts attacking him, Su Ming stepped toward Chu Fan.

Since the targeting came from Chu Fan’s destiny, then if Chu Fan was killed—wouldn’t this targeting vanish?

But just as Su Ming was about to make a move, dozens of bird-type demonic beasts suddenly swooped down, blocking his path.

As long as Chu Fan’s destiny hadn’t collapsed, he—as the protagonist—could not be killed.

Anyone or anything trying to kill him would be stopped by destiny.

Sometimes, those very attempts would even turn into opportunities for him.

That’s why protagonists often had mid-battle breakthroughs, dramatic reversals, and snatched treasures.

At this moment, Chu Fan had already stood up. Seeing Su Ming besieged by demonic beasts, he secretly rejoiced.

But he also knew—this was the perfect chance to run.

“If the green mountain remains, I’ll never lack firewood. Su Ming, I’ll remember this debt!”

“You sure have a lot of debts to remember,” Su Ming mocked coldly.

Chu Fan didn’t get angry. “You’re the one in trouble now. You’d better think about how to survive this beast attack first!”

He turned and fled.

Suddenly, a demonic beast’s corpse came flying at him, nearly grazing him.

Seeing the giant crater it left behind, Chu Fan broke into a cold sweat and ran even faster.

Su Ming, watching this, tore the beast in front of him in half.

With his strength, it was impossible to throw off target—this was clearly the interference of destiny.

[Host has forced destiny to intervene. Gained 500 Destiny Points.]

Hearing the system notification, Su Ming grinned viciously.

The beast’s corpse turned into a projectile and flew toward Chu Fan again—but once more, it missed.

Another prompt for Destiny Points rang in his ears, and Su Ming attacked again.

More and more beasts surrounded him, but even more were being thrown like weapons toward Chu Fan.

Finally, one of the flying corpses struck Chu Fan’s back directly. The protagonist spat out a mouthful of blood.

Without the protection of the Golden Radiance Armor, Chu Fan couldn’t block Su Ming’s attacks at all.

Almost at the exact moment the attack landed, the entire Secret Realm began to shake violently.

“How can this be?! Why is the Secret Realm collapsing?!”

“Quick! We must get the disciples out now!”

Rescuing the disciples—Su Ming was of course the top priority.

But just as one elder prepared to act, Li Jianping stopped him.

“You can rescue anyone—but not Su Ming!”

“Sect Master, have you gone mad?! If we don’t save Su Ming, won’t our Trinity Saint Sect face the wrath of two Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses?!”

“I…”

Before Li Jianping could finish, a stern female voice echoed through the entire Secret Realm—and rang directly in the ears of the Trinity Saint Sect’s high-level members.

“Dare target my son like this again, and I’ll tear you apart myself!”
