My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

On the seventh day of the third month, as the bow was drawn and an arrow was nocked, an ice arrow instantly appeared on the bowstring.

"Come on, let's see how powerful I am."

As she finished speaking, the tightly drawn bowstring was released, instantly forming a rain of arrows in front of everyone. After piercing through the illusory soldiers, the arrows sent them flying off the train.

Several trampling attackers surrounded Xing. Xing took a deep breath and then swung his baseball bat forcefully in all directions. The trampling attackers were completely unable to resist Xing's terrifying strength and were sent flying.

One particularly unlucky tramp was attempting to attack Xing's baseball bat with its head. A crisp sound rang out as its head was smashed to pieces by Xing's bat.

Ji Yuan transformed his longsword, Sky Dome, into a soft sword and swung it at the surrounding illusory soldiers. The illusory soldiers were unable to resist and were all cut down by Ji Yuan.

While slashing, he also took out the Imperial Jade with his other hand and threw it at some of the trampling creatures that were flying over.

Several streaks of light flashed by, and Ji Yuan pierced holes in the chests of the tramplers.

With the combined attack of several people, the illusory soldiers on the train were temporarily eliminated.

"Phew, this job isn't too difficult. Honestly, I still want to deal with some formidable enemies."

On March 7th, I stretched my body and looked around with a bit of pride.

Upon hearing her words, Ji Yuan's expression instantly changed.

"I'm saying, are you really not afraid of metaphysics? It's like how a physician in the Alchemy Department can't say that he's idle because he doesn't have any patients. If you say that, it means that things will quickly take a turn for the worse."

This guy's mouth is too fast; there's no way to stop him.

"No way, I was just saying it offhand..."

March 7th still wanted to argue, but her voice grew weaker and weaker halfway through. This was because everyone present noticed a dense, swarming army of antimatter appearing in the path of the Star Train.

These enemies were all black energy spheres about half a person's height, and they didn't seem particularly strong. However, there were just too many of them. They were much longer than the Star Train, and Ji Yuan estimated that they were even longer than the entire planet Yalilo.

Seeing this, Dan Heng explained to everyone, "These things are called baryons. They are two types of small ion traps created by the Antimatter Legion to prevent antiparticles from annihilating. However, there are just too many of them."

As he was saying this, baryons formed a semicircle that surrounded the train.

At the same time, energy is being condensed from the center of the baryons in preparation for launching it at the train.

Even if each attack is not strong, the number of baryons at this moment is probably more than 100 million.

Such a concentrated attack poses a significant threat to the train.

"There are so many!"

Seeing this scene, March 7th and Xing couldn't help but swallow hard.

Ji Yuan and Dan Heng couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines when they saw this situation.

"Is this the power of the Great Lord of Annihilation?" March 7th held a bow and arrow, trying several times to aim and scatter the surrounding baryons, but she couldn't help but give up. Her attack range was simply too small; even if she destroyed a certain number of baryons, it would be a drop in the ocean.

"What should I do?" March 7th was anxious, and then quickly made contact with the train below.

Soon, Walter's voice came from inside.

"Little March, don't rush."

Hearing Walter Yang's words, March 7th felt a little relieved, and then she anxiously asked him, "Uncle Yang, do you have any ideas for this situation?"

“Hmm…” Walter Young thought for a moment and replied to March 7, “Perhaps we could try overloading the train engine and then smashing this baryson group apart. However, doing so would be extremely dangerous. Little March, you two go back to the train first, and we’ll prepare to overload the engine now.”

“Mr. Walter, the chances of success with this approach are less than 50%,” Ji Yuan said to Walter after a moment’s thought.

Walter admitted, "...Yes, there are too many enemies ahead. But don't worry, even if the train is damaged, I have a way to ensure your safety."

Ji Yuan thought for a moment, then said to him, "I don't think it's worth risking the train like that. If possible, I'd also like to try to unleash enough attacks to create a hole in these baryson groups that the train can escape through."

What are your plans?

Walter Young asked him.

Ji Yuan turned to look at Dan Heng and said to him, "Dan Heng, this time I will make you transform into the form of Lord Yin Yue again."

“Okay, I understand.” Dan Heng nodded, but still reminded Ji Yuan, “But even if the two of us use the Dragon Lord’s Mystic Technique, the power we unleash will not be enough.”

The baryons prepared to attack. Ji Yuan and Dan Heng's simultaneous attack was intended to break through the baryons' energy attack before attempting to create an opening for the Star Train to pass through. Facing a combined attack from hundreds of millions of baryons, the combined energy of Ji Yuan and Dan Heng's Dragon Lord attacks would be somewhat diminished.

"Yes, so we need a third person to help us."

“I understand, this person is me.” Xing then reached out and grabbed Ji Yuan’s hand: “Dan Heng, Ji Yuan and I just came up with a way to cooperate.”

"Really? Then let's give it a try."

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words and seeing Xing's reaction, Dan Heng agreed.

After seeing the group finish their discussion, Walter Young, who was on the communication device, agreed: "Okay, be careful. And Little March, hurry back to the train."

"Yes, I understand."

March 7th was somewhat disheartening.

She felt very disappointed that she couldn't help the train in the current situation.

Xing patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

March 7th has the temperament of a child; she recovers from sadness quickly, just as quickly. Feeling Xing's comfort, she immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, once I regain my memories, I will definitely be incredibly powerful."

After returning to the train on March 7th, only Ji Yuan and the other two remained outside.

Himeko's voice also rang out from the communication device.

"Please be careful. I will come to pick you up after the train enters the atmosphere."

"Uh-huh."

Ji Yuan and the other two nodded in response.

After shutting down the communication devices, Ji Yuan said to Dan Heng and Xing:

"Alright, now it's time to start preparing the baryons."

"it is good."

Dan Heng closed his eyes and began to prepare. Then, in Ji Yuan and Xing's sight, his entire appearance began to change. His hair changed from short to long, and his clothes changed from a simple trench coat to clothes in the style of the Immortal Boat.

Beside him, Ji Yuan and Xing could clearly sense a strong water element.

"Alright, prepare to launch the attack."

Ji Yuan was also preparing to unleash his Dragon Sovereign Technique to launch an attack. However, just as he was about to attack, he saw Xing's puzzled expression.

He asked Xing, "Why are you making that face?"

"That Dan Heng can change his form even when using the Dragon Lord's wondrous technique, why can't you?"

"Sorry, I'm really lame for not being able to transform."

Ji Yuan remained silent in response to Xing.

"Ok."

Xing was very disappointed.

Dan Heng glanced at Ji Yuan and Xing and immediately urged, "Alright, let's not waste any more time."

"Ah."

Ji Yuan nodded, and then simultaneously jumped from the train into the air to prevent the train from being affected by the fluctuations in their energy. After they were some distance away from the train, the two began to draw upon the operating methods belonging to the Dragon Lord from their bodies, preparing to unleash the Dragon Lord's wondrous techniques.

Ji Yuan and Dan Heng both extended their right hands, forming a hand seal for casting spells. However, unlike Dan Heng, Ji Yuan was also holding Xing in his other hand.

The two cast their spells almost simultaneously, and after a burst of golden light, two dragon-shaped energy bodies, roughly the same length as the Starry Sky Train, appeared.

However, the two are still different.

Danheng Yinyuejun's dragon-shaped energy is composed of water elements, making it a clear water dragon; while Ji Yuan's dragon-shaped energy is a giant ice element dragon carved from ice and jade.

The two exchanged a glance, then brought the two dragon-shaped energy bodies together.

Ji Yuan shouted to Welt and Himeko inside the Starry Sky Train:

"Mr. Walter, Himeko-neechan, let's get going!"

"clear."

Inside the train, Walter, Himeko, and Pam's voices rang out simultaneously.

The train's engines started, and the Star Train prepared to depart. Before departure, the two colossal energy dragons, a water dragon and an ice dragon, intertwined and charged forward.

At that moment, the baryons also unleashed their energy attacks. Each of them emitted relatively little energy, but this energy converged directly into a central point in a semi-circular shape. Once the energy reached the center, it formed a giant energy sphere, resembling a miniature sun.

As soon as the energy sphere formed, Ji Yuan and Dan Heng's dragon-shaped energies arrived before it. The ice dragon and water dragon simultaneously opened their mouths and forepaws, beginning to tear at the energy body.

Following the giant dragon, the Star Train sped forward.

The dragon tore at the energy ball, and after two roars, it ripped the energy ball away to the left and right. However, at this moment, the dragon-shaped energy was also completely exhausted and dissipated.

The baryons' attack has ended, but the crisis for the Star Train is not over. The baryons are still blocking the train's path to Yalilo, and if this obstacle isn't overcome, it will invite a second attack from the baryons.

Seeing this, Dan Heng looked at Ji Yuan and said, "My energy can only sustain my own flight. The rest depends on you."

Ji Yuan nodded and said to Xing, "Xing, now it's up to you to lend me your power."

"it is good."

Without further ado, Ji Yuan swiftly extracted the power belonging to the star core from Xing's body. After the turbulent star core energy passed through Ji Yuan's body, he used the Dragon Sovereign's Mystic Technique to gather it into a new giant dragon.

The pure destructive power of the star core was several times larger than the ice dragon and water dragon that Ji Yuan and Dan Heng had just released, and its horns were even more prominent, making it look extremely terrifying.

"Open it for me!"

Ji Yuan roared and then released the berserk dragon formed from star core energy in his hand once again.

The gray dragon swiftly passed the Star Train and arrived directly in the baryon group.

Upon entering the group, the Star Core Dragon instantly exploded. The combined attack of the gathered baryons was powerful, but individual baryons were insufficient in both attack and defense. Faced with the destructive energy of the dragon's explosion, they were completely unable to resist and were annihilated.

The violent explosion caused Ji Yuan, Dan Heng, and Ji Zi San Yueqi, who were witnessing the blast, to involuntarily close their eyes.

Although its eyes were closed, the Star Train continued its journey without stopping. It continued its planned route towards Yalilo.

Ji Yuan had excellent control over the dragon's energy, and the cosmic creature encyclopedia he had obtained also described the strength of baryons, so his control over the explosion was extremely precise. Just as the Star Train entered the blast radius, the explosion disappeared, leaving a cavity in the baryon swarm just large enough for the train to move forward.

This is the optimal timing. If it's too early, the surrounding baryons will completely fill the void. If it's too late, the train might enter the blast radius and be affected.
