The teams that could come and ambush the Yanhuang Academy naturally made extensive preparations.

After all, since its inception, this academy has asserted an overwhelming dominance with its formidable strength and terrifying exotic beasts, suppressing quite a number of restless forces with a high profile.

What's more, the Yanhuang Academy has control over a passageway to the Otherworld!

It could be said that this passageway is the last retreat for the Elemental Continent.

No major force would willingly let a super-powerful entity occupy the final escape route.

Could it be that when their world is about to be taken over by exotic beasts, everyone has to gauge others' expressions to flee?

Or during the escape, must they take out their treasured possessions to buy a ticket out of here?

This is also one of the reasons why the human empires on the Elemental Continent collectively resist the Yanhuang Academy's people moving about in their empires.

As for those of the alien race, they hold a peaceful attitude when associating with the Yanhuang Academy; whether they secretly harbor ill intentions is another matter.

In any case, the Yanhuang Academy is not afraid of any forces on this part of the Elemental Continent.

As for making the Otherworld passage public, that is even less likely.

When the passage appeared initially, the Yanhuang Academy spent a great deal of resources to stabilize it.

Currently, the entrances and exits of this Secret Realm are heavily guarded by the Yanhuang Academy and the Divine Xia Empire.

Those inside the Secret Realm, whether human or alien, attempting to smuggle out is purely a suicidal act.

Furthermore, the Floating Island where the Yanhuang Academy is located was established with the aid of the Otherworld passageway.

Do they really think such a massive island, floating in the sky, with such a large energy supply, creating a concealed barrier to prevent external observation, was so easily accomplished?

It was an achievement barely managed due to the collaboration of the Yanhuang Academy, the Divine Xia Empire, the Dragon Science Institute, and the unique characteristics of the Secret Realm passageway.

Luck played a considerable part in this, and both the empire and the Yanhuang Academy cannot replicate another Floating Island.

And at this moment, these cultists are ambushing them outside the Death Inheritance Secret Realm, and if the human empires on the Elemental Continent weren't contributing from behind the scenes, who would believe it!

Moreover, it wasn't just those from the Yanhuang Academy who entered the Death Inheritance Secret Realm; other participants are also involved.

But where are the other teams?

The valley where the Secret Realm is located can be seen at a glance.

Inside the valley, flat plains stretch out, the ground covered with yellow sand and scattered with skeletons, leaving it in ruins.

There's not the slightest sign of human activity, only ghostly apparitions and demons.

Above the valley, lightning flashed, thunder roared, dark clouds loomed overhead, resembling a Ghostly Realm.

Besides the nine cultists, not a single living creature exists in the sky.

This valley is influenced by the Secret Realm, rendering many detection skills useless.

Yet as a Tier Nine Peak mechanical exotic beast, Iron Block employs technological detection methods to gather some information within ten kilometers.

But within this range, it couldn't even detect the presence of the nine cultists, let alone other living beings.

Whether the other party was deliberately concealing themselves or had long since evacuated this area.

In any case, the perimeter of the valley is ready and set up as a battlefield.

Now it remains to be seen if Iron Block can face nine alone and cut a path to escape.

Suddenly, magic bombing covered the battlefield from top to bottom frantically.

The cultists relied on their numbers to overpower the few, aiming to cripple Iron Block with powerful magic bombardment and then seize the high-talent exotic beasts.

On Iron Block's side, they were equally unwilling to concede, and the triangular spaceship unleashed its full firepower.

With wings, cockpit, rotors, and tail—all hidden ports opened.

Missiles, machine guns, anti-aircraft cannons, energy cannons—unleashed in a chaotic barrage, no longer caring about energy consumption.

The exchange of fire between the two sides was a meeting of equals, hitting each other with intense ferocity and danger.

Restricted in movement, the triangular spaceship could only hover in the air.

As for the earlier Yellow Sand Cage, it was shattered into a storm of dancing sand in the bombardment above.

Yet the nine chains binding Iron Block hadn't budged a bit, instead transmitting an eerie energy, firmly locking Iron Block's energy exhaust circuits.

It could be said that the triangular spaceship was now floating solely by relying on the Gravity Domain, incapable of even slight lateral or vertical movement, effectively a sitting duck waiting to be bombed.

After a three-minute exchange, the surrounding cliffs were blasted to bits, with many rock layers detaching and falling into the valley below.

The shield activated by Iron Block was now riddled with large cracks, becoming dull and dim, as if on the verge of shattering at any moment.

In contrast, even though the nine cultists' bodies were shrouded in black robes, their labored breathing was evident.

Iron Block's attack was not easy to withstand, which was the advantage of being a Mechanical Beast.

Their attacks could sustain a high intensity throughout.

As long as their internal energy was not depleted, their attack could maintain the same level of intensity from start to finish.

This was why Iron Block could face nine opponents without falling behind.

At this moment, the ten students within Iron Block looked notably grim.

The spectacle of battle outside seemed magnificent yet was incredibly dangerous.

If they were outside, the mere aftershocks of the battle could likely take their lives.

"Damn it, contact with the Academy is blocked; if we want to successfully escape, we need to do something."

"Do what? What can we, a bunch of Beastmasters and their beasts, do?"

"What skills do we have? Let's lay them out; this is a matter of life and death."

"Once Mr. Iron Block exhausts another wave of attacks, I can let my Tier Eight Guardian Beast fight. But it can only delay them for a short while."

"Chuanqin junior, can your War Elemental Ancient Tree construct a Five Elements Barrier to help Mr. Iron Block create a defense system and reduce his energy consumption?"

One senior from their fourth year looked at Liu Chuanqin, who wore a solemn expression, and asked.

"My War Elemental Ancient Tree has been infused with a large amount of Five Elements Energy and is currently fusing it. Its strength can't even reach ten percent, and constructing a Five Elements Barrier would at most reach the strength of Tier Six and wouldn't withstand a single round of bombing,"

Shaking her head, Liu Chuanqin's face also darkened.

She had thought of this earlier and attempted to communicate with the Guardian Beast in the Abyss Pattern at her brow.

However, the answer she received was deeply disappointing.
