Format the ticks as strings. Plot[{3*10^20, 4*10^20}, {x, 0, 105}, PlotStyle -> Black, Filling -> {2 -> {1}}, FillingStyle -> LightRed, Frame -> True, Axes -> None, FrameLabel -> {"x", None, None, "y"}, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 32, FontFamily -> "Arial"}, FrameStyle -> Directive[Black, AbsoluteThickness[3]], PlotRange -> {All, {0, 6*10^20}}, PlotRangePadding -> {10, 0}, FrameTicks -> {{None, Table[{n*10^20, ToString[n] <> "\[Times]" <> "\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(10\), \(20\)]\)"}, {n, 1, 6}]}, {Automatic, None}}] This part: "\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(10\), \(20\)]\)" Can be entered as 10^20 in quotes with the 20 in the exponent. You can use the keyboard shortcut Ctl-6 to make the exponent.
