My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

The two apocalyptic beasts retaliated fiercely because their attack was interrupted. With a loud 'boom,' the beasts were thrown back violently. Even after they retreated, Ji Yuan's attack continued.

Both the Mirror Stream teachings and the sword control techniques passed down by the Immortal Boat have methods to maximize the energy contained within the sword. Now that Ji Yuan holds the Creation Engine, he can use it in the same way.

Ji Yuan instantly mobilized all the energy in the Creation Engine and lifted the sword—no, the Creation Engine.

It chopped down, or rather, it smashed down.

The Doomsday Beasts had just recovered from the backlash of their attack when suddenly everything went black in front of them. Looking up, they saw a dark shadow hurtling towards them.

Is this how a human would launch such an attack?!

Even the doomsday beasts, with only remnants of their intelligence remaining, couldn't help but think this to themselves.

The creation engine slammed down, slamming the Doomsday Beast into the frozen ground.

After doing all this, Ji Yuan felt that the energy in his body was almost depleted. Floating in mid-air, Ji Yuan took out his flying sword, held it in his hand, and then flew towards another creation engine.

Upon reaching the creation engine where Bronya was, he landed. Su Chang, who had been in sync with him, caught him just as Ji Yuan landed. Liu Ying was also there to help Su Chang, supporting his arm.

After being hugged from behind by Su Chang, Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a good thing I brought you all with me, otherwise I probably would have been besieged to death by the antimatter legion."

Bronya was still operating the creation engine, and she breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Ji Yuan was alright.

At that moment, the creation engine that had been suppressed was slowly pushed open, and then the two doomsday beasts emerged from the frozen ground.

Su Chang immediately tensed up upon seeing this.

"How to do?"

"Don't worry, there's no need to rush now." Ji Yuan patted Su Chang's shoulder.

"It's been so long, it should be time by now."

If it still doesn't arrive, then I'll have no choice but to take out the doomsday beast that the system rewarded me with.

Just after Ji Yuan finished speaking, a chilling sword aura descended from the sky. Jing Liu quickly arrived after the sword aura and launched an attack on one of the Doomsday Beasts.

Jiuwu Mountain is famous for its wine.

Mirror Stream's sword energy swiftly pierced through the Doomsday Beast, and before it could even react, it felt excruciating pain all over its body. The next second, it saw its entire body being split into several pieces.

So, am I dead?

This is what the Doomsday Beast was thinking.

then,

It died.

It had already suffered severe injuries, with its bodily functions reduced to less than half. Jing Liu's strength was only slightly inferior to Jing Yuan, who possessed the power of a Divine Lord. While Jing Yuan could fight two at once, Jing Liu's slaying of the weakened Doomsday Beast seemed effortless.

Seeing its comrade-in-arms die, the other Doomsday Beast also became enraged. Driven by its anger, its gaze toward Jingliu instantly turned hostile.

However, before it could launch an attack, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its body. This pain rendered it unable to move, leaving it lying on the ground struggling in agony.

Ruan Mei then appeared before it, looking at its painful struggle. Ruan Mei shook her head and said softly, "Any creature I spare from the dissection table, even myself, I can find a way to poison. Even the Star God..."

Her eyes held anticipation, as if she had an urge to place the Star God on the dissection table.

At this moment, many creatures appeared around the Doomsday Beast and began to tear it apart. In the blink of an eye, the Doomsday Beast's entire body disappeared.

Looking at Ji Yuan on the Creation Engine, Ruan Mei walked towards him.

Meanwhile, Jingliu quickly approached Ji Yuan and carefully examined his body. He ran his hands over his entire body, paying special attention to his sensitive areas.

"Not bad. You faced two doomsday beasts by yourself and severely injured them. You were only exhausted, which proves that you performed quite well."

Jingliu could roughly tell what had happened from the scene, and he was indeed satisfied with Ji Yuan's performance.

Ruan Mei then walked over to Ji Yuan, intending to give him a full body check as well. However, Jing Liu stopped her.

"I've already checked him out, and all he needs to do now is rest."

His gaze fell on Nguyen Mai, carrying a hint of provocation.

“As a swordsman, it’s inevitable that there will be some oversights. A scientist’s test is the most reliable.” Ruan Mei didn’t respond, but said to Ji Yuan, “I’ve already set up the research lab. Go there now, and I can conduct a comprehensive examination of your current physical condition. Afterwards, we can also study our experiments and the situation here, as well as the antimatter legion that has appeared here.”

A lot happened tonight, and we definitely need to discuss it.

Hearing Ruan Mei say this, Ji Yuan certainly had no reason to refuse.

Nguyen Mai looked at Jing Liu and a smile appeared on her lips.

See? A brute who only knows how to use a sword is the most useless person at a time like this.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Ji Yuan quickly said to everyone, "Let's hurry outside. Let's deal with the creation engine here tomorrow when I have time."

No one refused.

Ji Yuan had recovered enough to move freely by this time, and the antimatter legion had been almost completely wiped out, so they began to return along the original route.

The once relatively smooth road was now cluttered with the corpses of various antimatter legions, creating numerous obstacles that Ji Yuan had to navigate around to get through.

Just as he was winding his way around, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

[You have saved the life of Bronya, the legendary High Guardian of Arilo-VI. The system rewards you with War Inspiration.]

[War Inspiration: As long as you stand at the forefront of your army, the belligerency of your troops increases by 300%.]

[You rescued a beautiful and highly skilled swordswoman; the system rewards you with +10 stamina.]

[You have preserved a corpse intact; the system rewards you with +10 corpse preservation experience points.]

[Your performance surprised Dr. Truth, the legendary scientist who is said to rival the Genius Club. The system rewards you with +10 Mental Strength.]

[Your performance has surprised Sand Gold, a senior executive in the Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation and one of the 'Stone Heart Ten,' who is now eager to challenge you. The system is therefore awarding you a Luck Blessing Talisman.]

[Luck Blessing Talisman: Within ten minutes, this person's luck value will rise to an extremely high level.]

Good grief, were the people from the Interstellar Peace Corporation watching us while we were fighting over here?

Ji Yuan could understand Dr. Latio's gaze. But besides him, had Sand Gold also come here?

"Two out of ten people have emerged from the fields of Topaz, Aventurine, and Stone Core. My teacher and I are truly valued by the company."

Upon hearing this news, Ji Yuan couldn't help but think to himself.

The feeling of adventure between life and death is back.

This time, after creating the messenger and defeating another Extinction Lord, Toppa, and Sand Gold, the harvest is expected to be enormous.

As he was pondering, Jingliu patted Jiyuan and asked him, "What's wrong? You seem excited?"

"Just thinking that these antimatter legions are the forces of the Annihilation Lord Starscream, and that we will soon be fighting the Annihilation Lord whom Nanuk values ​​most, fills me with excitement."

"Then you'd better train hard these next few days." Jing Liu also revealed a crazy smile.

"I already killed the Annihilation Lord Fenfeng last time, so killing Xingxiao this time would be good too."

With Ji Yuan around, Jing Liu already felt that he could become the one wielding the sword in the future. Since he couldn't go and kill the Star God, Jing Liu felt that he should at least kill a couple of Commanders to satisfy his urges.

With that, the group left the Creation Engine area.

Not long after leaving the Creation Engine, Ji Yuan saw Toppa leading a large group of company employees over.

Upon seeing Ji Yuan, Topa breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately said to Ji Yuan, "That's great, I'm so glad you're alright. We just detected some violent fluctuations here using our monitoring equipment. We were worried about potential problems, so I brought the company staff over right away. Did you encounter any danger here?"

Ji Yuan said easily, "It's a little dangerous, but with me and the two teachers here, the problem here is temporarily solved. However, we have only temporarily wiped out the vanguard of the antimatter legion, and the threat of the Annihilation Grand Monarch Star Roar is still approaching."

"The Roar of the Great Monarch of Annihilation?"

Upon hearing this name, Topa couldn't help but frown.

After thinking for a moment, she asked Ji Yuan, "Could the experiments here be moved to another location? The company can arrange a suitable site. Um... and we can also help relocate the population of Belloberg to a suitable planet."

“The experiment has already begun, but it’s hard to stop it any longer,” Ruan Mei said to Topa after glancing at Ji Yuan.

"Don't worry, we have our own way of dealing with Star Howl. I just need you to help us prepare the materials for the experiment. As for dealing with the spoils of war from the antimatter legion, that's your job."

"This, okay."

Hearing Nguyen Mai insist on this, Toppa nodded helplessly.

However, deep down she was still somewhat happy.

Her task was to find out about the experiments in the laboratory, but if everything was going smoothly, it would be difficult to gather information. Now, facing the possible arrival of the Great King of Annihilation, Nguyen Mai and Ji Yuan would definitely accelerate their experiments. And if the experiments became chaotic, the possibility of Toppa trying to take advantage of the situation would increase.

"They can even pin everything on the antimatter legion."

If the company and the Genius Club are mutually exploitative, then they are completely hostile to the Antimatter Legion.

Nguyen Mai had previously been indifferent to the antimatter legion, but if the experimental results were destroyed by the antimatter legion, she would certainly be able to inflict heavy damage on the antimatter legion in the same way.

If one, no, two life scientists want to harm someone, the scope of the damage would be extremely terrifying.

Chapter 171 It's an experiment; dozens or even hundreds of explosions are normal. [Second Update]

Toppa escorted Ji Yuan for a while, and only said goodbye when they were almost at the laboratory.

She actually wanted to go with Ji Yuan and the others, but Ruan Mei clearly refused, and Toppa had no choice but to leave disappointed.

"Miss Toppa, could you please take Su Chang and the others back to Beloborg on your way?"

Before Toppa left, Ji Yuan spoke to her.

Liu Ying and Su Chang should go back and rest early, so let's have Toppa take them back along the way.

"Ok."

Topa naturally wouldn't refuse.

Bronya was still a little uneasy, and she looked at Ji Yuan with a questioning look in her eyes.

Ji Yuan looked into her eyes and knew what she was thinking. He assured Bronya again, "Don't worry, I will protect Belloberg."

"Ah."

Bronya looked at Ji Yuan's expression and nodded seriously.

Afterwards, everyone left. Now, only Ji Yuan and Ruan Mei remained in the laboratory…

And Jingliu, who was drinking tap water from a beaker.

"Aren't you afraid there might be something in that beaker?" Ruan Mei was quite displeased with Jing Liu's casual actions. Of course, this was mainly because she was very unhappy with Jing Liu's unbridled touching of Ji Yuan earlier.
