Death!
What everyone saw was death!
As a matter of fact, death was not rare in the Purple Moon era. Under the cruel environment, life was fragile and cheap.
Therefore, who at the scene had not witnessed death with their own eyes? Didn't a bunch of young geniuses just die?
They were already numb to it!
However, when Higan, no, the queen made her move, it stirred up the people's fear of death again. The fear did not originate from the fear of their own death, but the fear of the death of others.
Why?
It was too easy! It was an insufferably arrogant horde of oceanic vicious beasts that had almost driven all the young warriors into despair. Even an upper-tier Purple Moon Warrior would not have been able to defeat the vicious beasts.
Just like that, a bunch of them died without a sound!
Yes, a bunch of them died! How many died? Even those with the best eyesight could not calculate in time. After being stunned for two seconds, they realized that out of a total of 500 vicious beasts, almost 200 of them had died!
What did she do? All everyone saw was her waving her hand and blowing a gust of wind. Then, the Grim Reaper came!
Other than the Grim Reaper, who else could do that? It felt like the Grim Reaper swung his scythe in the sky.
Gulp! Many of the young geniuses could not help but gulp, but they could not suppress the fear in their hearts.
Indeed, in the Purple Moon era, life was worthless, but the vicious beasts that flaunted their strength, be it rank 3, rank 4, rank 5, or even rank 6 … All of them died before their eyes. How could they not be afraid?
Furthermore, they had sailed with the queen for a long time. It was not as if no one had ever offended Tang Ling during the voyage!
However, only the young geniuses at the scene were terrified.
Van Persie, the Red Tiger Squad, the officer from the Stardust Council, and all the other powerhouses that were high above all felt chills down their spines.
Unbeatable? Unbeatable!
Compared to the young geniuses, they were much more knowledgeable. Higan's move triggered their memories of the two terrifying events in history and the two terrifying figures.
What else could be explained? Nothing! There was only one kind of talent that could achieve such a feat.
Almost in unison, be it the officer, Van Persie, or the Red Tiger Squad, all of them shouted, "The Catastrophe Genetic Chain!"
Catastrophe! Genetic Chain!
Tang Ling heard the five words clearly, and his head buzzed.
Calamity Genetic Chain? The Calamity Genetic Chain?!
It's been a long time, but it hasn't been long.
That memory suddenly appeared in front of him. His numb sister, San San, was panting as she ran for her life. Her heart was filled with fear, and it was accompanied by the great sorrow of losing her mother-in-law …
Hope, there seemed to be hope, because he was already on the brink of the seatbelt.
Then, his arms became empty. He had lost his sister.
Then, Draconic Twelve's nightmarish figure appeared in front of him. He wore a black robe and had silver hair peeking out from under his hood.
"The Calamity Gene Chain really exists?"
Since he was completely controlled, Tang Ling could not help but start to pant heavily as his chest tightened up.
"Bro … Bro …" Surrounded by the zombies, his younger sister's gaze showed a sense of reliance.
The scene paused at this moment! That was a wound in his heart that could never be healed!
Sadness, hope, fear, despair, anticipation, guilt, pain …
Tang Ling could not describe his feelings at the moment. He no longer cared about the death of the vicious beasts anymore.
Mustering all his strength, Tang Ling squeezed a few words out of his throat, "I-Is that you?"
Higan turned around. Her gaze was still as gentle as ever, and there was a smile on her face, but her face was terrifyingly pale.
"Look, there's a way out. No one will come to kill me here, right? "
Tears rolled down Tang Ling's cheeks as he looked at Higan.
"Don't cry. It's your turn to protect me."
Higan gently moved her finger. The energy that was corroding Tang Ling's body somehow fused into every single cell in his body and no longer harmed him.
Without a second thought, Tang Ling bolted up and dashed towards Higan. Was it her? If not, was it the second person with the Calamity Genetic Chain? No, given Tang Ling's intellect, he would never believe that the world was that ridiculous.
If the Calamity Genetic Chain was just a normal Rare Genetic Chain, Draconic Twelve would not have said that it really existed!
However, if it was, why would his sister appear in front of him as a young girl? Tang Ling did not care about the changes in her appearance because a person's bone structure would change drastically. However, he once felt that Higan's eyes were very familiar, just like how he felt when he held her hand.
On top of that, Higan seemed to have no memory of the past. The only thing she remembered was that she came from a scary place even though she did not go into details.
Everything! Everything!
Tang Ling's heart was in a mess. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he was already in front of Higan.
Higan smiled at Tang Ling before she fell into his arms.
"Even if we die, we'll die together." Her fingers grabbed Tang Ling's shirt and said that before she fainted.
Tang Ling looked up with bloodshot eyes, but his tears were no longer flowing.
He was not a person who would struggle. Whether it was Higan or San Shan in his arms, they were both people that he could never let go of.
If he could survive this, he would never live alone again. It was too painful.
If he really had to die, great! He would die together! He would never live alone!
A large number of vicious beasts were killed and the dense encirclement was torn open by Higan. After a short moment of silence, the vicious beasts turned the encirclement into hell on earth.
They started to tear the bodies of their own kind apart frantically because no one was commanding them anymore. Once Higan made her move, she included Dark Milky Bead as well.
The vicious beast that Dark Milky Bead was riding on was dead and her body was floating on the surface of the sea, but no one knew whether she was dead or alive.
Death was actually very simple.
Tang Ling put Higan down in front of everyone.
He removed his shirt.
At that moment, the shifter officer from the Stardust Council saw the situation on the right and stepped forward.
Van Persie could not hold it in anymore, so he stepped forward as well. So did the Red Tiger Squad.
"Please have some dignity as a high-rank Purple Moon Warrior. Tang Ling is still in a desperate situation.
Now, you can't do anything to Tang Ling. "
Van Persie did not say anything about protecting Tang Ling, but he spoke with the dignity of an upper-rank Purple Moon Warrior. It was true that Tang Ling was still in a desperate situation. If an upper-rank Purple Moon Warrior were to make a move at a time like this, it would be a disgrace to the Stardust Council.
Even if the officer from the Stardust Council did not care about that, Van Persie could still hold on to it.
After all, they had endured it and expressed their attitude of not getting involved in the Stardust Council's personal grudges, but who said that they could not stand up for injustice in the Purple Moon era? The morals of a powerhouse depended on their mood.
After Van Persie said that, all the young geniuses glared at the shifter officer from the Stardust Council.
"From now on, no one can stop me," the officer from the Stardust Council said as he stopped moving.
He would not block his own escape route. If Tang Ling was lucky enough to escape, he would have to make a move.
Tang Ling must die!
Facing the dispute, Tang Ling quietly tore his clothes into pieces and made them into a rope to tie Higan on his back.
Death was indeed simple.
However, how could he let Higan's kindness go to waste? She said that if she made a move, someone would kill her. Although Tang Ling had no idea what was going on, she was using her life to protect him!
Therefore, he had to use his last bit of strength to protect her. It did not matter if they fell into hell together.
Tang Ling drew the Blood Bulrush Sword and his eyes turned cold. He glanced around and realized that other than his friends on the Harvest, no one else dared to look him in the eye.
"Hmph." Tang Ling chuckled.
He unleashed his war seed and jumped off the ship, dashing towards the sea of vicious beasts that had turned the sea into a living hell.
**
The mist was fading away.
The sea somehow became violent and turbulent, especially around the big crack.
The seawater seemed to have been given a sense of urgency as it gushed towards the crack. The deafening sound of the water splashing echoed in the sea as if there was a giant waterfall in front of them.
The debris on the sea started to flow towards the big crack uncontrollably.
The wind was strong and the sky was hazy!
However, no one was willing to leave at that moment, including all the young warriors. All they did was back the ship to a relatively safe position. Their eyes were still glued to the tiny figure compared to the vicious beasts.
Tang Ling!
Everyone wanted to know what would happen to him in the end. Most of them could not help but hold on to a glimmer of hope. They hoped that Tang Ling could walk through this short but hellish path.
The glimmer of hope was not an extravagant hope but a real glimmer of hope!
The vicious beasts lost their leader and started to fight for the bodies of their own kind.
However, the bodies of their own kind seemed to be poisonous. After the vicious beasts devoured the bodies, they started to suffer from all sorts of negative effects.
Under such circumstances, Tang Ling somehow gained a huge advantage over the beasts. Moreover, he was very powerful!
Yes, he was powerful!
Sparks appeared again and again, leaving trails of fire in the sky. Occasionally, the vicious beasts that attacked Tang Ling would be slashed away without a care for their lives!
Everyone could feel the madness in Tang Ling at the moment. That's right! I'll just slash away! I'll slash away without a care for the consequences!
No one knew when Tang Ling would run out of energy. The stronger the skill, the more energy it would consume.
However, due to the distance, no one saw that Tang Ling was replenishing his energy crazily.
The vicious beast meat and the spirit potion were no longer important.
As long as he could move forward another meter … Just a little bit more …
Whoosh! Tang Ling leaped up again and dodged a vicious beast's bite before jumping onto the body of another vicious beast.
He was slashing away without a care for his life, but what the others did not know was that his brain was the one bearing the most burden at the moment!
After his Precise Instinct was maximized, he kept calculating his escape route and where his sword would land on each of his targets.
Even with the replenishment of the spirit potion, the exhaustion that came from the depths of his soul could not be healed.
The only thing that kept him going was Higan's breathing. She was still alive, so even if he could get one centimeter closer to his life, he would fight with his life on the line.
**
Tang Ling had no idea how big of a miracle he was creating.
Although Higan was the one who started the miracle, he was really getting closer to success step by step.
A quasi-Purple Moon Warrior had fought to this point in the midst of a group of vicious beasts, yet he was still alive and had a chance to escape.
A thin layer of sweat formed on the officer's palms. As a high-tier Purple Moon Warrior, it had been a long time since he felt this way.
It was because of nervousness and worry.
If Tang Ling really made it out, would he be able to kill him? He was afraid that Van Persie and the others would not be able to hold back and attack him. Even though they might not be able to defeat him, what if they gave Tang Ling a chance to escape?
Tang Ling was not just the miracle kid in the eyes of others. The people from the Stardust Council believed in the miracles that surrounded him because no one else knew better than the council how Tang Ling escaped from the most dangerous situations.
Although it was a joke, the officer from the Stardust Council dared not bet on it.
Based on that, the officer of the Stardust Council dared not bet on it. He had a feeling that as long as there was a sliver of opportunity, the mission to kill Tang Ling would fail.
He paid close attention to the battlefield and stared at Tang Ling, so he did not care about what was happening on the Stardust Council's airship.
What else could happen? Nevertheless, it did happen.
The airship received the signal to call for help.
However, the officer from the Stardust Council was at the front of the battlefield. He was a certain distance away from the airship, so the soldiers could not make any decisions. Therefore, they went to Sma and whispered something to her.
Sma pouted and said calmly, "Put me down. That dumb kid is dead."
Yes, Wu Xiazhu was dead.
His body floated in the middle of the vicious beasts. Somehow, there was not a single vicious beast within a 20-meter radius. It was very eye-catching.
Under the turbulent current, his body slowly floated towards the crevice. If this continued, in another five minutes, he would be buried in the crevice that even a high-tier Purple Moon Warrior would not dare to get close to.
So, why was he still hanging here so painstakingly? I'm like an idiot!
Sma felt like she was too immersed in her role. She could not help but laugh at herself.
She did not care about exposing that she was acting in front of everyone. Was it wrong for her to toy with a mermaid? Mermaids were not even human beings!
On top of that, Sma was willing to be in the limelight. This was the best chance for her to make her debut in this world and leave her name behind, was it not?
Her charm had stirred up a lot of things. Everyone was optimistic about Tang Ling, the unkillable star of the future, but in fact, he had died in her hands.
The problem was that she had to go to the command center to deal with the signal that was calling for help. Something interesting had happened and it would earn her another credit.

Hank was also watching the battlefield.
He had mixed feelings at the moment. He did not know if he was hoping for Tang Ling to escape or for Tang Ling to die.
When Andrew was still alive, Tang Ling was Andrew's biggest enemy.
However, when Andrew died, he did not hate Tang Ling. Instead, he felt like he was freed from Tang Ling's hands.
Hank pursed his lips. He did not hate Tang Ling either. He did not even know what he was carrying on his back. The Agnes family that Andrew hated the most had all been killed by Tang Ling.
Should I thank him instead?
It should not be like this, right? Hank gripped the railing tightly. The moment he left, he swore to carry Andrew's life on his back and live on together, but he had yet to find his goal.
However, after meeting Liszt, he had a clearer picture of the path ahead. Liszt and Andrew were similar in many ways. They were both ambitious towards their destiny, smart, and even had similar childhood experiences.
Liszt also treated Tang Ling as his biggest enemy.
Hank was a little absent-minded as he watched Tang Ling walk step by step towards the exit. He did not know what was going through his mind anymore.
He felt that at this time, if he casually went to Liszt and said a few words, perhaps his heart would become firm again.
With that in mind, Hank turned around and realized that Liszt was not behind him.
Did Liszt not care about Tang Ling's ending more than anyone else? Where did Liszt go?
Hank started to search around. Unlike the other ships, this particular one was a group of teenagers from different ships.
Because Liszt was the first to leave with his people, he chose the best ship, so there were only his own people on the ship.
"Where did Liszt go?" Hank grabbed a random person and asked.
He began to speculate, and a complicated feeling welled up in his heart. Based on his understanding of Liszt, he felt that Liszt might have his own plans again!
What else could Liszt do?
**
He was close!
A dozen meters away from the exit!
Tang Ling wiped the blood off his face. He had fought to his limit, and the little seed seemed to be pushing itself to the limit as well.
Normally, the little seed could only stay active for five minutes.
It was almost seven minutes now, but he had yet to deactivate the war seed state.
The bone armor on his body was broken, and the flame on the Blood Bulrush Sword was getting thinner. The worst part was that the vicious beast meat did not even have time to replenish his energy.
However, there were only a dozen meters left, were there not?
Tang Ling panted heavily. His bloody hand caressed Higan's hair. Higan's breath was weak but stable. Did she know? They were at the last step of their path of survival.
He did not have the time to care about anything else. All he could see was the obvious exit at the outermost edge.
The vicious beasts surrounded them in a circle, but Higan used her tremendous strength to tear a hole in the circle.
The huge body of the ferocious beasts also blocked the possibility of the other ferocious beasts attacking in groups. In addition, they wanted to devour their own kind crazily …
In short, as long as they reached the edge, they would be a lot safer!
Then, Tang Ling put the Blood Bulrush Sword away for one last gamble.
At that moment, he did not notice the subtle changes happening at the edge of the vicious beast horde.
