Boom!
In his best condition and with the accumulation reaching its limit, the Genetic Chain that was hidden in Tang Ling's body finally appeared in his visualization world again.
Maybe because of the Perfect Genetic Chain, the moment it appeared, it sounded like it was accompanied by the wind and thunder as it exploded in Tang Ling's visualization world.
Under normal circumstances, one would need the help of a gene tester to peek at one's own Genetic Chain.
Only when one accumulated enough Genetic Chain to the point of breaking through could one see the nature of one's body through visualization.
Indeed, the Genetic Chain was the nature of one's body.
The Genetic Chain was no different from the last time it appeared. It was still a spiraling path shrouded in mist, but Tang Ling himself was different.
This time, he was not on the so-called 'path'. Instead, he was looking at his Genetic Chain from God's perspective as if he was a bystander.
The angle was magical. With his thoughts, he could freely control the angle of view, up, down, left, right, far, near, small, and small. Everything was under his control.
However, this kind of observation was not very meaningful, because most of his genetic chain was still hidden in the thick fog, only a small part was clear, and at the end of this small part of the genetic chain was a huge lock.
This Genetic Chain was no different from the first time he saw it. It was hanging above a dead vortex.
A dead vortex!
When he looked at it again, Tang Ling had a slight realization in his heart. Maybe the key to advancing lies in this dead vortex?
Any guesses from his observation were just guesses. His body had been adjusted to its best condition. He had sufficient energy, his spirit was full, and his mind was calm. Most importantly, he did not notice any abnormalities in his Genetic Chain.
Since that was the case, it was time for the real thing!
With that in mind, Tang Ling started to circulate the energy in his body. The energy was not stored in his dantian, but it was his own energy.
If Tang Ling was a sponge, he would be in a saturated state. If he did not use up all the energy in his body, he would never be able to circulate the energy in his dantian because his meridians would not be able to handle it.
However, Tang Ling's situation was probably the only one in the 200 years since humans entered the Purple Moon era.
One had to know that breaking the gene lock normally relied on one's own energy, as well as energy supplements such as energy fluids and direbeast meat.
But no matter what, the replenishment would not be able to keep up with the consumption. Plus, when breaking the gene lock, the energy would enter a state of rapid depletion. If the energy was depleted and the replenishment could not keep up, and the gene lock had yet to be broken, the advancement would be considered a failure.
It was because of this that the so-called Perfect Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers came into existence. It was the best way to develop one's body during the pre-Purple Moon Warrior stage and allow one's body to store as much energy as possible.
As for storing energy in the Dantian, that was already an extremely extravagant behavior.
As for the liquefaction and crystallization of the energy in the dantian, it could only be achieved by an absolutely powerful force that spared no expense in piling up resources.
Finally, the auxiliary items for advancement, such as the Seven Stamen Lotuses, not only required strength, but also luck.
Tang Ling had accumulated to his limit, so there was no doubt that he would advance to the next rank. The only question that remained was, which rank could he advance to after this breakthrough? Or what kind of qualitative change would be brought to his strength after leveling up? In other words, could his so-called talent abilities be developed to the maximum?
As for Tang Ling himself, he wanted to know if he could break the first gene lock with his own energy without using the energy in his dantian.
One thing worth noting was that this was the only path a normal Purple Moon Warrior could take. Tang Ling loved putting himself in an extreme environment to compare himself. Only then could he know whether he was the best in a certain aspect or not.
Moreover, relying on one's own strength to break through the gene lock was not the limit. Many common Purple Moon Warriors did the same thing, did they not?
**
The energy was flowing rapidly.
In the visualized world, the Genetic Chain was enlarged to a suitable size for Tang Ling. It formed a spinning path and at the end of it was the enlarged gene lock that was as big as the bell of the old civilization.
At this moment, without any extra guidance, he instinctively knew how to direct the energy to break the gene lock. He had to focus the energy in his visualization and direct it to the Genetic Chain.
It seemed to be a memory hidden deep in the human heart that was awakened at this moment.
Tang Ling did the same thing.
After the energy flowed rapidly for three rounds, its speed and vitality reached its peak, and he started to direct the energy to break the gene lock.
"Break!" The moment the thought popped up in his mind, the energy in Tang Ling's visualized world turned into a fierce torrent and gushed towards the Genetic Chain Path with a loud splash.
In the real world, Tang Ling's body started to tremble.
The trembling was not related to pain, but when the Genetic Chain broke the gene lock in the visualized world, the energy in Tang Ling's body overflowed and surged into every single cell in his body without missing a single cell.
The energy spread out and surged into Tang Ling's body, causing his body to tremble. Tang Ling's senses were shut down in the visualization world, so he did not even know he was trembling.
All he knew was that the moment the energy started to break the gene lock was terrifying. As a Purple Moon Warrior who stood at the peak, Tang Ling had accumulated a lot of energy, yet it was sucked clean in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
Of course, Tang Ling did not know that the energy overflowed and surged into every single cell in his body. The energy behaved the same way whenever a person broke the gene lock.
Because of the reaction, most people would panic and worry that they would not have enough energy to break the gene lock, so they would refill their energy.
As a matter of fact, it was not wise to refill one's energy. Firstly, it would affect one's visualization and cause imperfect control over the energy flow. Secondly, it would waste energy and deplete one's energy conversion ability.
Tang Ling did not know the logic behind it. He also did not know that during the evolution, those who met the requirements would have a special protector who would explain the key points of evolution in detail. The protector would observe the person's evolution and replenish the energy or use support items when necessary.
However, Tang Ling did not panic because of the situation. He was only a little surprised before he calmed down.
Tang Ling was confident that he could break the first gene lock with his own energy.
As a matter of fact?
In the blink of an eye, Tang Ling's energy surged to the end of the gene lock path in the visualized world. Before he could adjust and gather the energy to break the gene lock, the energy surged towards the gene lock.
How could it go out of control?! Tang Ling was confused, but before he could figure it out, the first wave of energy surged away.
At that very moment, Tang Ling felt a buzz in his head and a strange feeling spread all over his body.
Then, he realized in shock that the first gene lock was broken.
It was just the first wave of energy and half of it was broken!
Did it mean that the evolution was successful? Was it that easy?!
Even though Tang Ling was extremely confident and had his own pride, he found it hard to believe that breaking the gene lock was that easy.
At that moment, the shattered gene lock fell into the "dead vortex" under the lock. The moment the gene lock fell, the dead gray vortex suddenly glowed with a faint blue light. It began to spin.
As the blue vortex spun, Tang Ling's body started to change in a strange way. First, his brain felt like it was being electrocuted. Each time it was electrocuted, his brain would feel refreshed.
Then, his body started to feel numb and itchy, and the itchy feeling made him clearly feel that his organs were wriggling rhythmically. The more they wriggled, the stronger they became. His muscles were also splitting and growing rapidly. It was a normal muscle strengthening process, but the difference was that it seemed like some subtle changes were happening to his body.
Theoretically speaking, in the visualized world, Tang Ling's senses were shut off, so he should not have felt any of this, but the evolution was magical.
This was just the beginning. It was far from the end.
While Tang Ling was pleasantly surprised, the energy surged into the gene lock for the second time.
As expected, after the second wave of energy surged away, the gene lock that was already half broken was broken again. Another part of the gene lock fell into the blue vortex.
Then, Tang Ling's energy surged into the gene lock faster and faster. Wave after wave, it was like a raging sea.
Throughout the whole process, Tang Ling could not interfere at all. Everything happened on his own.
However, he was not worried. He started to realize that the moment of surging was not something he could control. Instead, it was all about his own accumulation of energy. It was an instinctive action.
One had to admit that Tang Ling was right again. The surging of the gene lock was not something he could control, which was why breaking through the gene lock was so difficult for so many people.
It also indirectly proved how terrifying Tang Ling's accumulation of energy was. He did not even use the energy from his dantian. With his own strength alone, he unlocked half of the gene lock on his first try.
One thing worth noting was that most of the Purple Moon Warriors could barely break a third of the gene lock after exhausting their energy.
Would he be able to break the gene lock with his own strength?
Tang Ling was looking forward to it. From the disaster night until now, it had been more than two years of hardship. He had been through a lot of life and death situations. Did he not want to reach his limit?
The energy surged through the gene lock a few dozen times, so it consumed a lot of energy.
On the other hand, the gene lock broke quickly at the start. Two waves of energy surges destroyed more than two-thirds of it.
However, as the gene lock broke more and more, the destroyed portion decreased. It was related to the strength of the energy surges, but based on Tang Ling's observation, the closer the gene lock was to the core, the harder it was.
Indeed, the gene lock breaking was strange. It felt like it was being stripped from the outside to the inside.
The gene lock was less than one-twentieth of its original form. Tang Ling's Precise Instinct, which was always in use, calculated that the energy surges could last at most seven more waves.
After the seventh wave, he would have to replenish his energy.
However, his Precise Instinct could not tell whether the gene lock would break or not because it did not have precise data on the strength of the gene lock. Its strength was always changing.
The energy surges were still surging.
Although Tang Ling was looking forward to breaking the gene lock with his own strength, he was not anxious because he would eventually break the gene lock completely.
This was because the result would inevitably be to completely break the gene lock. As long as one had tried their best, there was no need to be too demanding for perfection.
Compared to the anticipation, Tang Ling was more immersed in the changes in his body. He knew he was growing stronger rapidly without even trying, and it was fascinating.
So, why am I getting stronger? Is it because I broke a gene lock? Tang Ling was confused. He instinctively wanted to know why.
It was at that moment that the God of Luck favored Tang Ling. When there was only one stream of energy left in his body, the first gene lock broke completely without a trace.
The blue whirlpool under the gene lock turned completely blue, and the speed at which it spun had reached its peak.
As the whirlpool spun, the scene in Tang Ling's visualization world changed.
Tang Ling saw the path, or more precisely, he saw the end of the double helix of his Genetic Chain. It was broken from the blurry double helix behind the thick mist.
The broken part was growing and a small Genetic Chain was connected to the double helix behind the mist.
It was like the broken part of a broken bridge being repaired.
The process did not stop because the Genetic Chain was connected. The small Genetic Chain was still growing. Maybe it was not an accurate description. More accurately, it was becoming complete.
Tang Ling could not describe what he saw. He also did not know why his visualization world would change on its own even though he did not purposely change it.
However, at that moment, he suddenly understood something. The so-called ascension and the so-called strengthening was because of the changes in the most basic Genetic Chain.
The changes were like the lock of the human body's potential being unlocked. Life was enhanced from the very beginning and the nature of life was also changing subtly.
Breaking the gene lock perfectly would make the changed genes complete, and completeness would bring stability …
So, this is what ascension is all about. No wonder the humans of this era were so different from the old civilization!
Evolution! Everything came down to evolution! It was the main hue of the Purple Moon era, but what was the purpose of this sudden evolution?
Tang Ling could not ponder such a profound question. In the words of the old civilization, a speck of dust in the era was like a mountain when it landed on everyone. He was just a slightly stronger normal person in the era, so he was still unable to pry into the so-called truth.
On top of that, Tang Ling could not think about it either. When the first gene lock was completely broken and the spinning vortex slowly disappeared, the growing Genetic Chain became more complete and he felt an intense hunger.
The hunger came from his body. Every single cell in his body needed to be replenished with energy.
A normal person would have completed their ascension at this moment, so the hunger would be replenished by the energy from the outside world. The more energy he had, the more benefits he would get, such as reaching the middle stage of rank 1 or even the peak.
Of course, the energy from the outside world would not be as fast as the energy from his own body. The accumulated benefits once again showed its power at this moment. Faced with such a situation, Tang Ling finally used the energy stored in his dantian.
The energy would definitely be much stronger than his own energy. So, how many ranks could this energy help him reach?
Tang Ling's curiosity was piqued, and along with it, he started to circulate the energy in his dantian.
Kacha! With a thought, the energy in his dantian finally moved, but the first movement was not the flow. Instead, it started to shatter.
The shattering was soundless, but Tang Ling felt like he could hear the shattering in his mind. He somehow felt nervous, so he could not help but fully focus his mind.
Boom! The energy in his dantian started to flow. The moment it started to move, an earth-shattering tremor was felt. A tremendous energy flow gushed into Tang Ling's body without any warning.
'I'm going to explode!' It was the first thought that popped into Tang Ling's mind. As a matter of fact, the moment the thought appeared in his mind, the meridian that supplied energy to his body felt an unusually real swelling pain.
The feeling was similar to eating vicious beast meat for the first time. His dried-up body was filled with pure energy, but it was even worse.
Fortunately, Tang Ling had a hunch before this, so he fully focused his mind. It was too late for him to control the energy flow, so he reacted quickly and used his mind to guide the energy flow into the Genetic Chain Path.
Doesn't this place require a lot of energy? Isn't the hunger in my body extremely intense? Can I consume the energy?
The question was answered soon enough.
The energy flow that was not circulated was very violent. With a single thought, it gushed into the Genetic Chain Path like a ferocious beast. It was a few times more ferocious than the energy flow in Tang Ling's body.
Splash! It was accompanied by the sound of water splashing. The first wave of energy flushed away a big part of the mist.
It was just a moment, but Tang Ling saw the Genetic Chain Path that was produced instantly complete and connected the broken points of the Genetic Chain.
After the mist was flushed away, there was still a double helix Genetic Chain Path, but it was blurry and unclear. After the impact of the energy flow, Tang Ling sensed that the Genetic Chain Path started to become clearer. The Genetic Chain Path was connected to the other, and it was filled with an unusual sense of vitality and mystery.
Is this the potential of humans? Is it developed along with the completion of the Genetic Chain Path?
Tang Ling could not hold back his excitement. He recalled the miraculous things he had seen about the Purple Moon Warriors. No wonder they were superhumans. In terms of life essence, they were no longer humans of the old civilization. Their DNA had undergone a drastic change, but they were still humans because the Genetic Chain Path contained the most primitive ancestral code. The genes were named Adam and Eve by the old civilization. This was something that had never changed and could never be changed. All humans in the world were branded with this mark.
The mysteries of life!
Tang Ling suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart. At the same time, he wanted to know what kind of potential would be dug out after he leveled up. He wanted to understand it in an instant. It was similar to the Transient Step that could only be achieved after becoming a Purple Moon Warrior and breaking the speed limit.
However, soon enough, Tang Ling's thoughts were interrupted by the energy flow. The mist was flushed away section by section, and the double helix Genetic Chain Path started to become clear.
Tang Ling's leveling up had become a special event in the Purple Moon era that no one could predict the outcome of.
The Perfect Genetic Chain had no bottleneck in leveling up.
The Perfect Genetic Chain had accumulated to its peak.
The Perfect Comprehension. In the two years that he had been active in the world, no one in his generation had shown a better comprehension than Tang Ling. The current generation was the strongest generation of humans, and the performance of the seniors at the same age was far from the current generation.
Therefore, Tang Ling was the most anticipated person of the era, but now, the most anticipated person was in a hidden corner of the world. While everyone thought he was dead, he was quietly evolving.
It felt a little lonely, but once he rose again, he would be like the Kun Peng spreading its wings. The most dazzling light would reappear, and it would not just amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!

Higan was sitting beside the pond in the courtyard. Her feet were bare as she fiddled with the water absentmindedly.
The water rippled. If it was any other day, the mischievous egg would have rolled over curiously.
However, it did not today.
As a matter of fact, it had sunk to the bottom of the pond since yesterday and did not move an inch. Higan followed Tang Ling's order and replenished its energy, but it did not respond.
Higan did not panic nor was she worried about it. She knew everything would change when the time was up. The mischievous egg had a high chance of evolving.
However, the timing was a little too coincidental. It happened right when Tang Ling started his breakthrough. Higan did not believe in coincidences. She believed the mischievous egg did it on purpose even though she had no proof and could not figure out the reason.
Tang Ling's breakthrough had been going on for two days now. Higan was a little worried when she thought about it. Was it a little too long?
Higan turned around to Tang Ling's little house. Another wave of violent energy clearly exploded, but she was used to it. A day and a half ago, Tang Ling's little house exploded the first time, and up until now, the energy had exploded 17 times.
The explosion worried her at first, but at the same time, she sensed Tang Ling's vitality growing stronger with her special ability.
She was not surprised at all, so what was there to worry about?
However, how long more would it take for Tang Ling to complete his breakthrough? Based on her intuition, Higan knew that Tang Ling's breakthrough had not reached the most crucial moment yet. How far could he go? Could he break through perfectly at a certain crucial point?
