Chapter 337
"Not yet!?"
The Suspended Island Sky Roc's eyes immediately widened, staring at the three-headed bird pattern on the top right corner of one of the thirty-meter-tall tombstones in the photo.
The Netherworld is known as the land of bliss for the dead, and forbidden territory for the living.
It does not reside in the main plane but exists independently from the main plane, yet it is closely related to it, somewhat similar to the Dark Realm.
However, the internal environment of the Netherworld is drastically different from the main plane and unsuitable for ordinary life to survive.
Not good, got up too abruptly, should lay down for a bit longer.
Actually saw my own nest.
The Suspended Island Sky Roc closed its eyes.
A minute later, it reopened its eyes and took a closer look.
Damn it, it really is my grave!
The Suspended Island Sky Roc's eyes darted around; it suddenly thought of something excitingly and looked towards the other tombstones behind it.
"If my tomb has come over here, then the others…"
The Netherworld Great Burial Ground was bred at the inception of the Netherworld.
Many Netherworld creatures were nurtured from the Netherworld Great Burial Ground; as the Demon Eagle knew, a considerable part of the Netherworld's deities were birthed from there, and it remembered that next to its tomb, there was a considerably impressive large grave.
Since my grave could appear, the Demon Eagle couldn't help but look at several other videos.
The Slaughter Forbidden Land is an ancient, ravaged battlefield where indistinct shapes of flesh are suspended in the air.
Some of this flesh has already turned black and started to rot, emitting an indescribable stench.
The Demon Eagle quickly averted its gaze.
This place is a bit too fierce.
Then came the video of the Storm Forbidden Land, where enormous tornadoes struck mercilessly from ground to sky.
In the depths of the tornadoes, a blurry face could be faintly seen, which seemed to sense the filming of the video, and the face suddenly opened its eyes, staring at the videographer.
The videographer let out a cry of alarm, then the camera shook violently, and the next second the video went black.
The Demon Eagle watched solemnly for a while and muttered to itself,
"Elemental Monarchs, troublesome fellows."
There are strong and weak Elemental Monarchs; the weak ones are barely worthy of Ascension, while the strong can be compared to the ninth step of Ascension.
Each Elemental Monarch is an uncrowned king of a Subsidiary Elemental Plane,
and due to their unique constitution, they are born with the ability to master laws.
With their specialized Elemental Bodies, general physical attacks are ineffective against them.
Of course, all of this is still manageable; what's really revolting is that each Elemental Monarch has an Elemental Throne.
As long as they stay within the Subsidiary Elemental Plane, even if killed, they can be resurrected on their Elemental Throne.
Unless their Elemental Throne is destroyed or they leave the Subsidiary Elemental Plane.
The Demon Eagle looked at the video recording the Barren Forbidden Land; from the outside, the Barren Forbidden Land appeared to be nothing more than a stretch of barren gray land.
A silver river crossed half the sky, like a thin shadow.
Test personnel tossed a rabbit into the Barren Forbidden Land, and with a splat—
The rabbit instantly turned into a rabbit pancake.
As thin as a sheet of paper.
Then, the researchers took out another creature and threw it in; this creature, looking a bit like a roe deer, was very fast. As it passed through the area where the rabbit had been flattened, its limbs trembled, nearly getting knocked to the ground.
But in the end, it kept on trembling and continued its run towards the deeper parts of the Forbidden Land, as if something dangerous were behind it.
After several hundred meters, the creature suddenly "flew" into the air.
Light as a feather, it leaped a great distance in a single bound.
But during the leap, a large amount of frost formed around its body, the biting cold frost covered it, and at the same time, the creature's limbs turned stiff; with a thud, it fell to the ground and didn't move.
The Demon Eagle watched the video with great seriousness, fixing its hundred eyes on it, and asked Chen Xing to play it again.
After reading it for the second time, the Demon Eagle confirmed, "This is the death principle."
While it might misinterpret other principles, it would never mistake the death principle.
However, comprehending the death principle is not easy, and as far as the Demon Eagle knew, even in the Netherworld, there were very few who could comprehend it.
"This place actually has such a strong presence of the death principle; it's a great place to ponder the death principle," the Demon Eagle said, looking at the grey ground inside. It felt somewhat familiar, but it was certain that it was definitely not the Netherworld.
The last recording was of the Abyssal Forbidden Land.

The video was taken with a special waterproof lens, entering the Abyssal Forbidden Land through a spatial passage.
As the searchlight above the crew member suddenly turned on, a dazzling beam of light pierced the darkness like a sword, cutting through the vast seawater and heading straight toward the unfathomable abyssal thickets.
The formless deep sea seemed to be given vague contours by this beam of light.
In the seawater, floating creatures swam slowly, exhibiting a different kind of vitality.
Among them, several long, snake-like marine creatures passed by.
They seemed to be attracted by the light, yet having never seen light before, they were instinctively afraid of it.
Gurgle gurgle...
The distant seawater surged, with powerful undercurrents flowing.
The crew member pointed the camera in the direction of the surging seawater.
A blurry outline was revealed in part, resembling a piece of land in the deep sea, its dark cyan skin covered in barnacles.
Layers of thick skin were folded, and small green eyes in sunken sockets reflected light when illuminated.
Seemingly agitated by the light, the enormous sea beast rapidly swam toward the crew member.
Its huge body stirred the surrounding water, and the roaring undercurrent pushed the crew member aside.
As it opened its gaping mouth, it seemed as if a door to the abyss had opened in the seawater, drawing in massive amounts of water, and the camera, initially pushed away by the undercurrent, was pulled toward the gaping mouth.
Suddenly, the gigantic sea creature closed its mouth and swam in another direction.
But its body uncontrollably drifted backward bit by bit.
An excited voice from the crew member came through the camera.
At the same time, as the gigantic sea creature was dragged back bit by bit, the camera finally captured what was pulling it backward.
Above it, a long, pale tentacle was wrapped around the tail of the sea beast, slowly dragging it backwards.
Further back, there lay a black hole darker than the depths of an abyss, as if it were an endless well of darkness.
The giant sea creature was pulled into it bit by bit...
The crew member hurriedly fled the site through the spatial passage.
"This place..." the Demon Eagle said, somewhat astonished, its gaze fixed on the being in the video.
The size of the creature was even larger than its own.
It was referring to the sea beast. Generally, sea monsters grew wildly since there were few who could see them.
They developed in all sorts of strange shapes and sizes without restraint.
But, according to what it saw, the size of this sea beast was a bit exaggerated.
What was even more exaggerated was the existence behind it.
It was truly a case of a big fish eating a smaller fish.
"This place..." the Demon Eagle repeated, its gaze still fixed on the being in the video.
Its size was even bigger than its own.
It referred to the sea beast. Generally speaking, sea monsters would grow however they wanted because few could see them.
They would become oddly shaped and grew recklessly.
But, according to what it saw, this sea creature's size was slightly exaggerated.
What was even more exaggerated was the being behind it.
It was simply a bigger fish eating a smaller fish.
