After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

So, it became an undocumented entity in the main plane, moving stealthily through the eons until it was eventually locked away in the Dark Realm.

The Demon Eagle said to Chen Xing, "My lord, the tomb towers in the Netherworld Great Burial Ground sprouted from the ground. It's said that even the original God of Death from the Netherworld was born from the Netherworld Great Burial Ground."

There's more than one Netherworld Great Burial Ground within the Netherworld, and this one is just a part. But when I left, I remember a formidable death tower had barely breached the surface, and I don't know whether it has fully grown after all these years."

As it spoke, the Demon Eagle walked over to a corner of its grave where a ten-meter-tall fruit tree stood, its branches heavy with black fruit.

"Phew—fortunately, no one has taken my fruit tree."

"Did you come back just for this?" Chen Xing approached, looking at the tree that grew from the grave. It bore thirty black fruits that looked somewhat like apples, yet were pitch black.

Sighing, the Demon Eagle said, "This is my Netherworld Companion Treasure, the Death Spirit Fruit Tree. Each fruit on it is equivalent to a level seven secret treasure with the Death Attribute. It had given me considerable aid at the beginning of my growth.

Not every tomb tower in the Netherworld Great Burial Ground nurtures Netherworld Companion Treasures. Only certain higher beings of the Netherworld have them. Some are fruit trees, some are weapons, and others are various other treasures."

"And you dare to leave it in the tomb? Aren't you afraid others might steal it?"

"The Netherworld Great Burial Ground is quite special since it's under the watchful gaze of the Netherworld consciousness. Without my permission, ordinary Netherworld creatures can't enter, and those who can, I couldn't stop anyway," the Demon Eagle spoke quite brazenly.

Moreover, the Death Spirit Fruit Tree's highest potential produce are just equivalent to level seven secret treasures, which weren't much help to me at that time. Besides, the tree is special in that it has to be planted in a particular place, and there's no safer place than here.

Only those capable of forcefully breaking into other tomb towers would at least be high-ranking ascenders.

Back then, when the God of Death was still around, besides the consciousness of the Netherworld, there were rules set by the God of Death. The Netherworld Great Burial Ground was a no-combat zone.

So, at that time, it confidently left its Netherworld Companion Treasure here.

I thought that after so many years away from the Netherworld, my old nest would've been stolen, but to my surprise, it remained intact.

Since when did other Netherworld creatures have such high moral standards.

The Demon Eagle felt ashamed of its own previous prudence.

Thus, it decided to help safeguard the belongings of other Netherworld creatures around, lest they spoil by accident in their tomb towers.

The Demon Eagle shared its thoughts.

Chen Xing strongly criticized it for its somewhat unethical idea and then offered to help it guard these ill-gotten treasures.

The Demon Eagle felt moved, thinking, "The master truly has noble principles. I should earnestly learn from this spirit of his."

The man and bird duo began selecting targets after emerging from the Demon Eagle's nest.

Looking at the variously shaped tomb towers around, the Demon Eagle gave its appraisal.

"My lord, not every tomb tower has a Netherworld Companion Treasure. Generally speaking, the nobler the tomb tower, the higher the chances of birthing a Netherworld Companion Treasure and the higher the quality of the treasure.

Tombs, for example, generally nurture white bone creatures, like myself. The beings born from towers are strange and varied, with all sorts of possibilities."

"Why haven't we encountered any dangers along the way, like the specters in the videos? Is it because of this black mist?" said Chen Xing, seated on the Demon Eagle's back and observing the swirling black mist around, remembering how the people in the videos for the Tomb Tower Forbidden Land were attacked by a very strange kind of spectral creature.

Those spectral creatures were curious, impervious to physical attacks, and able to move through stone and walls, even emerging from the ground to ambush their prey.

And they were very powerful, at least of high Transcendence level, and moved in groups.

According to the records, a peak Transcendence Beast Taming expert good at stealth had evaded those specters but later encountered an Ascension-level beast. They had been so terrified by the mere glimpse of the creature that they fled.

Since then, the Tomb Tower Forbidden Land had been sealed off, fortunately, none of the creatures inside ever left.

"Those specters are not monsters. They are the guardian spirits of the Netherworld Great Burial Ground. Any outsider approaching the Netherworld Great Burial Ground will alarm them.

My lord, as long as you stay within the range of the black mist, you won't trigger their attack," the Demon Eagle explained.

"We've found it." The Demon Eagle brought Chen Xing to a White Bone Tower behind them.

It remembered that when it left the Netherworld for the main plane, this White Bone Tower had only a small tip showing above ground, but now it had completely emerged from the earth.

Chen Xing's gaze fell upon the White Bone Tower, towering over five hundred meters tall, a striking prominence among the nearby tomb towers.

However, lofty as it was, standing out amongst the surrounding tomb towers, Chen Xing was horrified to realize that he had no recollection of it before that moment.

No, not that there was no recollection, but rather its presence was very faint.

Strangely, when Chen Xing's gaze shifted away from it, the memory of it in his mind began to fade.

"This..." the Demon Eagle's expression grew solemn—though it had no face.

But Chen Xing still sensed its tense emotions.

"What's the matter?"

"Something's not right, the master of the White Bone Tower must have comprehended some sort of rule that diminishes presence, even I am being affected," the Demon Eagle said, filled with uncertainty.

No!

How could the creature in this White Bone Tower, born so much later than itself, have a higher level of rule comprehension?

I was merely influenced through a medium.

What level had this creature reached!?

It wouldn't happen to be sleeping in the tower right now, would it?

The Demon Eagle now hesitated, unsure through the Tomb Tower whether the master of the tower was at home.

If the master was sleeping at home and I broke the doors and windows in front of it... it was not guaranteed that I wouldn't get beaten up.

There were quite a few short-tempered beings in the Netherworld.

But the master was watching it, and the Demon Eagle felt that if it showed cowardice like this, it might lower its image in its master's eyes.

The Demon Eagle's uncharacteristically cautious attitude caught Chen Xing's attention, "What's wrong? Can't this tower be opened?"

"Cough cough, it's quite risky," the Demon Eagle expressed its concerns.

Chen Xing said, "Then let's try others first, we can consider these riskier blind boxes later."

The Demon Eagle nodded and led its master towards another tomb tower.

Besides this tomb tower, it remembered there were some others that were good, where the masters had also achieved Ascension.

"What is opening a blind box?" A voice suddenly came from behind.

In a daze, the creaking sounds of a door being pushed open came from behind, and an endless deathly aura transformed into a cold chill that swept across the entire Netherworld Great Burial Ground.

A quiet white fog silently covered the entire area.

The Demon Eagle's eyes instantly widened, danger! Danger! Danger!

Chen Xing and the Demon Eagle's eyes met.

In an instant, they completed their exchange of glances.

'Can we beat it?'

'What do you think.'

From its eyes, Chen Xing saw the answer.

He promptly cleared his throat, "The original intention of opening a blind box refers to the act of consumers buying boxes containing anime, film, and television merchandise, or toys designed by designers from brand businesses."

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Behind was eerie silence.

"What is a consumer? What is a brand business? Anime, film, and television products... I understand each word, but when put together, it doesn't make sense, so strange.

Yet from the beating of your heart, I could tell you weren't lying,"

The creaking noise from behind grew closer.

The Demon Eagle's eyes widened as it felt the other party climbing up from behind it.

"Some humans came by years ago, they looked quite similar to you," the voice behind grew nearer, finally very close.

Circulating around the ear.

An icy face like a white jade sculpture emerged at Chen Xing's side, circling to his front.

It was a head with eyes tightly shut but with four holes in the brow.

As it walked, its centipede-like white bone body, segment after segment,

made a creaking noise.
