Tortoise

Appears alongside Xiang Yunfei and made a formation in the sky. He is a patriarch of the Ancient Races.
== Appearances ==
Evilmoon's saber-image tore through the clouds, revealing a thick chain in the void. It was severed by Long Chen's attack.
The moment he severed the chain, the astral blade that was about to kill him dissipated.
The stars in the sky faded, and the world returned to its original appearance. However, now there was a white-haired elder wearing a silver mask in the sky. He was staring lifelessly at the air, still yet to recover from his shock.
=== Mask ===
As for the Netherpassage expert, he still had a mask covering his face, but the corners of his mouth were constantly twitching. He was clearly infuriated.
The reason he wore a mask was to cover up the blood mark on his forehead. That would sell out his identity.
However, even if he was wearing a mask, Long Chen knew that he was from some tortoise race, so he repeatedly called him an old tortoise, synonymous with calling him a bastard.
=== Wig ===
After such an immense blow, the mask on his face shattered, and his hair flew away. He had been wearing a wig. Now that it flew off, it revealed that he was actually bald. He was an ancient elder whose face was covered in wrinkles. That face was currently filled with rage. However, his defensive power was shocking, as he didn't suffer any injuries from the Sword Spine Armor Dragon's tail attack.
== Cultivation ==
Tortoises never specialized in speed.
They surrounded Long Chen, and outside of their formation was another layer of Life Star experts. A veritable sea of experts were layered like this to make sure Long Chen couldn't get away. It was impossible to count their numbers, but this place had gathered all the Eastern Xuan Region's ancient races' power. 
That Netherpassage expert was powerful, but he was actually too powerful. It was like trying to use a hammer to kill a mosquito. He didn't dare to use his full power, so it was better to leave it to a group of weaker combatants who could fight effectively.
=== Life death energy ===
"He has already blocked his ears and is only using his Spiritual Strength to keep a lock on your aura. Whether you shout or use spiritual fluctuations, he won't hear you. That wasn't a bad idea for him. Just now, when he coughed up blood, his life and death energy surged chaotically. It almost caused a backlash. You should know that if a Netherpassage expert's life and death energy becomes unbalanced, it will be very dangerous for them, especially if it's the death energy that erupts. If he didn't do this, he'd really die from anger." Evilmoon's voice contained a strange emotion now.
Life and death energy was incredibly powerful, but it was a double-sided blade. If the user didn't control it properly, they would end up killing themselves.
If that Netherpassage expert really did die from Long Chen's cursing, he would probably be recorded as history's most useless Netherpassage expert.
=== Bloodline ===
Although that Netherpassage expert was powerful, his bloodline was not very pure. Compared to the blood of the Xuan Beasts, it wasn't valuable. Even if he gathered it, he would probably only be able to use it for blood tofu or something.
Evilmoon later explains that this tortoise was a mixed descendant of the Blood Addicted Devil Dragon. "Due to the mix of dragon and tortoise blood, as well as the mix of human blood later, his bloodline is very impure, and there are several divine skills that he can no longer use. I'd guess that he didn't even know that this rune had another use."
=== Ancestral mark ===
The ancestral mark of the Seven Star Dragon Tortoises was the divine mark engraved on their shells. This divine mark was their strongest rune. They specialized in using their shields as weapons, which made their defense so powerful. That was all thanks to that rune.
This rune not only had defensive power, but it also had the ability to absorb a portion of a person's attack so that it could be used against them. Although their offensive power was lacking, their immense defensive power was enough to cause despair in their enemies.
Back when the patriarch had fought the Sword Spine Armor Dragon, in truth he hadn't used that much power. The only reason he had coughed up blood and been injured was because of how Long Chen had angered him so badly. In the battle, he had blocked and absorbed the Sword Spine Armor Dragon's attacks. That was why their defensive power was described as monstrous.
However, this power stemmed from their ancestral marks. And now, that ancestral mark had vanished on him. In other words, he would be a shell-less tortoise in the future.
== Trivia ==
