The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"You...you killed my...father?! Zhao Yi, what are you doing?!" Zhao Tianming was also shocked by Zhao Yi's actions.

His father, whom he hadn't even acknowledged... just like that, gone?!

"Tianming, what nonsense are you talking about! I am your father. I raised you from childhood to adulthood. I am your biological father!" Zhao Yi said ferociously, holding a hammer.

Zhao Tianming stood there, his eyes filled with sorrow and pain.

He thought his outcome was absurd enough, but he never expected it to be even more absurd, with his adoptive father killing his biological father!

"Heh, maybe this is fate." With a swift chop, Zhao Tianming severed Zhao Yi's head.

He suddenly felt that this world was nothing more than this.

Chen Xuan, hidden in the shadows, was completely stunned. He never imagined that Zhao Tianming could be so insane, killing the person who had raised him for so long without warning! He hadn't even had time to react.

"Ding! Zhao Tianming, the chosen one of destiny, has his Dao heart completely shattered and his luck value has returned to 0. The host is rewarded with Destiny Value, 20 chances to draw prizes, and 5 small spiritual veins."

After a long while, Zhao Tianming finally stood up, but by then his eyes were bloodshot.

"Gie, gie, gie, everyone deserves to die! Chen Xuan, after I break through... you'll be the first!"

"Ding! The chosen one of destiny, Zhao Tianming, has completely turned to the dark side. If left to grow unchecked, some unknown accidents may occur. Please kill him immediately!"

"You don't need to tell me, I'm here to take care of him!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan stopped hiding his true intentions, took out the Thunderfire Sword, and unleashed a wave of Heaven-Burning Sword Qi at it.

He and Zhao Yi had known each other for a while, but he still didn't leave a complete corpse.

Just as the Heaven-Burning Sword Qi was about to strike Zhao Tianming, Zhao Tianming reacted quickly. A large amount of blood-red energy was released from his body, forming a blood-red protective shield that firmly protected him.

The Heaven-Burning Sword Qi struck the blood-red shield with a loud bang, but it did not cause any damage to Zhao Tianming inside the shield.

However, the remaining three corpses and the house were completely burned to ashes by the raging fire.

"Who is it?!" Zhao Tianming raised his head, looking towards the source of the attack, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"Chen Xuan, is that you?!"

"Brother Tianming, we meet again!" Chen Xuan approached, smiling at Zhao Tianming. "This time, I won't let you escape again!"

"You want to kill me? Why?"

"Weren't you just yelling my name? Why are you now wondering why I'm killing you?"

"You followed me here a while ago?"

"I've been here for a while now, and I really didn't expect you to be a patricide! It seems that demonic art has truly harmed many people! Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven to bring about justice!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xuan's figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Zhao Tianming, and he threw a punch straight at Zhao Tianming's chest.

Although Chen Xuan did not use his full strength in this punch, he still used 80% of his power, making it extremely powerful. Even a small mountain could be shattered by his punch.

Zhao Tianming's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Chen Xuan to attack so suddenly, and with such a deadly move, catching him completely off guard.

In the critical moment, Zhao Tianming could only barely raise his arms and cross them in front of his chest, trying to block Chen Xuan's punch.

boom!

With a muffled thud, Zhao Tianming was sent flying by Chen Xuan's punch. While in mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Cough cough, Chen Xuan, you, you are so ruthless!" Zhao Tianming struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes filled with anger.

"I never show mercy to demons!" Chen Xuan said calmly. "Enough nonsense, prepare to die!" Before he finished speaking, Chen Xuan disappeared from his spot again and rushed towards Zhao Tianming.

A resolute glint flashed in Zhao Tianming's eyes. He knew that with his current strength, he was no match for Chen Xuan.

"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!" Zhao Tianming roared, his blood energy surging, and he was enveloped in a crimson energy, as if he had transformed into a demon god.

"Blood Demon Possession!" Zhao Tianming roared, his blood energy surging throughout his body, countless blood-red runes appearing on his skin, and a powerful force erupting from his body, as if to devour the heavens and earth.

"Oh, so you have such a trump card? However, this won't change your fate!"

Chen Xuan sneered, his Thunderfire Sword flashing, and a sharp sword intent soared into the sky, as if to tear the heavens and earth apart.

"Burning Heaven Sword Technique!"

Chen Xuan shouted and swung his Thunderfire Sword. A crimson sword aura shot into the sky, as if it would burn the world to ashes.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the crimson shield shattered instantly, and the crimson energy dissipated in an instant. Zhao Tianming's ferocious face was now filled with terror. Then, his body was directly struck by the sword energy, and in a state of resentment, he was reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

After shedding his protagonist status, nothing unexpected happened anymore.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully killing the Chosen One, Zhao Tianming. Reward: Luck Points, 66 lottery draws."

Soul Stone *1 (A gem with powerful pure soul energy. It can be used to directly replenish soul power, or worn on the body to subtly increase mental strength.)

In an instant, Chen Xuan's aura surged, and his cultivation level reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage!

"Wow, not bad! You're quite generous this time. The stuff still works! And you were able to hold down that woman Lin Qingxue with just a flick of your wrist. Not bad at all!"

"Of course! The system is designed to serve the host!"

"Heh, if you're so capable, let me win all the prizes in the lottery!"

"..."

Feeling bored that the system was no longer responding, Chen Xuan shook his head and left the scene.

An hour later.

Chen Xuan reappeared here, used his divine sense to scan, and left after finding no suspicious people.

He's about to leave this realm of mountains and seas. He doesn't want to end up with some friend who's seeking revenge for Zhao Tianming, or some kind of chosen one, who would be impossible to punish.

Not long after, Chen Xuan reappeared in the palace. He first met with Dai Dabai, and then met with the Empress Dowager.
