The enraged Qiu Qianren

Looking at the mere 50,000 supreme destiny points on the panel, Su Ming's eyes grew increasingly fervent.

The System explicitly mentioned that he had altered the fate of those important to him.

The important people from the Outer Void whose fates were bound to his were most likely his parents.

If things had proceeded according to the original plot, his parents would have surely died within the Secret Realm left behind by the Chaos Dao Lord.

In other words, through this journey to the top of the heaven-reaching pagoda, Su Ming had indirectly saved his parents' lives.

"Sooner or later, I will completely overturn this damned fate..."

Under the Heavens Mandate Vision, Su Ming's own destiny was now coated in a faint golden light; while it extended into the Outer Void, his previously fractured and weakened fate was visibly strengthened.

[Remember this site's domain name...]

"The destiny of this world is completely sealed. I don't know if it will still be effective once I reach the Outer Void. These 50,000 supreme destiny points are crucial to me."

After clarifying this, Su Ming walked back onto the head of Shen Ming, and the heaven-reaching pagoda completely dissipated at that moment.

As the master of the heaven-reaching pagoda, Su Ming was fully capable of hiding it completely and drawing it into his body.

The sudden disappearance of the heaven-reaching pagoda left everyone present in shock once again.

The series of events had caused many people's brains to completely shut down.

However, Qu Xiangyang, who had long since guessed the truth, was not surprised at all.

He simply approached Su Ming silently and asked cautiously, "Young Lord, what shall we do next?"

"Let's return to the Three Saints Sect..."

Just as Su Ming finished speaking, a roar echoed from the horizon.

"Everyone! Stay where you are! Anyone who moves will be an enemy of me, Qiu Qianren of the Beast Taming Sect!"

As soon as he spoke, Qiu Qianren arrived before the crowd, riding two Star Realm Yao Beasts.

His eyes were blood-red, and combined with the pressure released by the two Star Realm Yao Beasts, he appeared incredibly terrifying.

"Sect Master Qiu, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? The killer of my son is among you! I advise you to step forward voluntarily, or else no one here will leave alive!"

At this moment, Qiu Qianren had only one thought: he would rather kill the innocent than let the culprit escape.

This action drew dissatisfaction from the Cultivators below: "Every debt has its debtor. Sect Master Qiu, as a member of the Righteous Path, aren't you ashamed to say such things!?"

"To hell with shame! It wasn't your son who died!" Qiu Qianren roared loudly. "Either you find the true culprit, or you will all be buried with my son!"

The faces of the Cultivators turned incredibly ugly. None among them were at the Peak Star Realm, making them extremely passive in the face of Qiu Qianren's coercion.

But just then, Su Ming looked at Qiu Qianren and said, "Like father, like son, it seems."

As soon as he said this, countless gazes turned toward Su Ming.

Meanwhile, the Peak Star Realm Blazing Rock Lion caught the scent of its offspring on Shen Ming.

After the Blazing Rock Lion conveyed this information to Qiu Qianren, the latter immediately broke into a sinister grin.

"I don't care who you are. Since you dared to kill my son, I want your life in return!"

With a roar full of fury, the man and the two beasts lunged straight at Su Ming.

The surrounding onlookers had already retreated far away.

"This Su Ming is truly arrogant to the extreme, actually daring to kill the Young Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect."

"He just took first place on the longevity ranking and surely had a great future ahead. Who would have thought he'd end up like this?"

"Wait, that name... it sounds familiar. There seems to be a very special Disciple in the Three Saints Sect with that same name."

Everyone could almost foresee Su Ming dying a painful death under Qiu Qianren's hands.

But what happened next was the exact opposite of what they imagined.

Qu Xiangyang took a step forward and pressed his large hand down gently. Qiu Qianren and the two Yao Beasts he controlled were instantly slammed into the ground.

"How can a beast-taming brute like you touch the Young Lord?!"

"Your son was arrogant and domineering, ready to take a life over a minor disagreement. The Young Lord gave him a chance, but he showed no intention of backing down; instead, he pushed his luck."

"What? If your son wants to kill someone, must they just stand there and let him?"

"Then if I want to kill you now and wipe out your Beast Taming Sect, would that be acceptable too?"

Qu Xiangyang no longer hid his strength, fully revealing his Half-step Void Realm power.

He intended to suppress the arrogant Qiu Qianren with thunderous force.

"H-Half-step Void Realm?! Who on earth is he? Why have I never heard of such a person before?"

"That palm strike just now seemed to bear traces of the Three Saints Sect's Cultivation Technique. He's likely an anonymous Cultivator from the Three Saints Sect."

"That means that Su Ming is indeed the Su Ming from the Three Saints Sect!"

The words of the surrounding Cultivators reached Qiu Qianren's ears.

He never imagined that the person who killed his son was from the Three Saints Sect—and was Su Ming, their most special Disciple.

But it was too late for words. He had already offended Su Ming, and his son had indeed died at the other's hands.

At this point, Qiu Qianren no longer cared about anything else; he wanted revenge!

Even if the final outcome meant dragging down every living soul on the Qianyuan Continent with him.

Under Qu Xiangyang's pressure, he gritted his teeth and activated a secret technique of the Beast Taming Sect.

His essence blood and Lifespan burned frantically, and the cultivation of the two Yao Beasts he controlled actually showed signs of rising.

In just a breath, Qiu Qianren's cultivation plummeted to the Nirvana Realm, while the two Yao Beasts broke through to the Half-step Void Realm.

Of course, the Half-step Void Realm created this way was not as strong as the real thing and could only be maintained for a very short time.

But one beast to stall Qu Xiangyang while the other killed Su Ming would be more than enough.

"I don't care if you're from the Three Saints Sect or a Four Saints Sect! Since you dared to kill my son, then go and be buried with him!"

The two Yao Beasts roared, lunging at Su Ming with Qiu Qianren's fury.

Seeing this, Qu Xiangyang rushed to block them.

But the Blazing Rock Lion ignored its own injuries, stalling Qu Xiangyang by risking its life.

Just when everyone thought Su Ming would die, the battle spirit puppet appeared instantly and blocked the Azure-winged Golden Eagle.

"Another Half-step Void Realm?!"

The moment he saw the battle spirit puppet appear, Qiu Qianren's heart turned to ash.

He realized he no longer posed any threat to Su Ming, who then rode Shen Ming right up to him.

Shen Ming's sharp legs pierced into Qiu Qianren's body, beginning to absorb his remaining Lifespan, while Su Ming activated his Heavens Mandate Vision.

It was hard not to suspect that this situation was guided by fate.

Sure enough, after activating the Heavens Mandate Vision, he saw that familiar branch.

As if sensing Su Ming's lock-on, the Heavens Mandate tried to retract its branch at extreme speed.

But even so, it was still too slow.

Su Ming's hand had already gripped it.

"Heavens Mandate Destruction!"
