【Return-to-Void-realm gold-veined turtle demon slain — total lifespan 216,000 years, 98,000 years remaining — fully absorbed】

As the common saying has it: a turtle of a thousand years, a tortoise of ten thousand.

In creatures with cultivation on them the difference was not so marked; but it could still be seen that this clan's lifespan ran a little longer than other demons'.

It very nearly caught up with that dragon grandson's.

Shen Yi sorted the corpses over a little: nineteen demons in all, of which the gold-veined turtles made eight.

A certain expectancy crossed his eyes.

The demon soul swallowed the Origins down to the last.

Shen Yi made up another seven as the case required, and at last raised it to the Rare grade.

The next moment the demon…
