>The mask devoured spiritual energy and channeled it back into him, helping him embark on the path of cultivation.
>When a second, Flame Mask merged with his body, he heard a greedy hiss from deep within it.
>When he obtained a third, Water Mask, the ancient being on the frozen throne finally opened its eyes:
>“The twelve masks are fragments of a prison. Once they're all gathered, the elements that will destroy the world will be unleashed.”
>Xiao Chen lowered his head and gazed at the three snarling, hideous masks in his hands.
