Chapter 564: Xi Xi's Tenth Birthday and a New Dao Fruit in Hell, Heavenly Armament Slays Nirvana and Seizes the Path of Life and Death

Chapter 564: Xi Xi’s Tenth Birthday and a New Dao Fruit in Hell, Heavenly Armament Slays Nirvana and Seizes the Path of Life and Death

Whistling winds carried snowflakes that seemed to glide like blossoms, piercing through layers of barriers to reach Li Che’s fingertips.

The icy chill spread from the snowflake, permeating his skin and diffusing throughout his body.

Li Che’s eyes flickered, and within them, two colors of the Great Way River intertwined and surged.

Having just completed his Dao Union, Li Che’s essence, energy, and spirit had reached their peak, his consciousness boiling like a mountain fire, ready to engulf everything in its path.

Snowflakes fell gently.

Mount Xuan was very high, and snow was not uncommon, but in many places within the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells, snow was rare.

Today was Xi Xi’s tenth birthday, a special day for Li Che.

Li Che naturally did not rely on the snow to remember his daughter’s birthday; instead, he naturally recorded the passage of each day, using the flow of time as his memory.

For Li Che, who had achieved the Dao Fruit of the Time-Space Golden Wheel and the Six Transcendences, this was no difficult task.

Standing by the window of the palace, Li Che gazed at the falling snow, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"Xi Xi, you’re ten years old now."

Li Che was in a good mood.

Compared to her ninth birthday, this year, they could all be together for Xi Xi’s tenth birthday.

To Li Che, Xi Xi’s tenth birthday was significant. At ten, she had truly grown up.

Therefore, Li Che planned to personally visit Xi Xi to celebrate her birthday.

He couldn’t go without preparing anything.

The snowflakes swirled in the sky, and with a thought, Li Che sent out a black chess piece that rapidly expanded into the form of his Clear Azure Immortal Hand.

This was Li Che’s Overlord Avatar, which he had summoned from the Underworld Capital.

The Overlord Avatar possessed eighty percent of Li Che’s combat strength. With the Dao Fruit of the Pure Martial Path evolving into the Six Transcendences, Li Che could even bestow the power of his Dao Fruit to the Overlord Avatar, enhancing its strength.

Leaving the Overlord Avatar in the palace, Li Che planned to return to Cloud Peak Village.

Primarily, Ji Shaohao had arranged for the Ten Divine Carvers he had selected to undergo special training to enhance their competitiveness in the Divine Carver Immortal Hand Competition, aiming to secure one of the eighty-one spots.

Grand Immortal Zhao Yuan was conducting this special training, akin to the previous use of Nirvana Sovereign’s heavenly origin as a resource for assessment.

Li Che, already at the Grand Immortal level in divine carving, did not need special training. Leaving the Overlord Avatar to learn was sufficient.

After the Overlord Avatar appeared, Li Che clenched his fingers, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard retreated to his brow. The Time-Space Golden Wheel behind him rotated, expanding the range of his teleportation.

He teleported directly from Mount Xuan to Clear Azure Village, then another teleportation, and he was outside Cloud Peak Village, walking as if stepping through the void.

Rumbling—

Standing outside Cloud Peak Village, Li Che floated gracefully, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard circling above his head.

His gaze fell upon the four Nirvana-level experts guarding the village.

The Quasi-Sovereign who had been hiding in the void, once discovered, no longer concealed himself, blocking the village completely.

With the other three Nirvana experts who had reached the initial stage of the Path of Life and Death, Cloud Peak Village was completely isolated from the outside world.

At the village entrance, Grandpa Tuo Ba Lian sat on a green stone, his presence strong and commanding.

When Li Che returned, he saw this scene.

Standing with his hands behind his back, his black robe with embroidered golden lotuses fluttering, Li Che’s eyes were deep and calm as he surveyed the situation, exhaling slowly.

"Wondering what to give Xi Xi for her tenth birthday..."

"Since that’s the case..."

"I’ll give her a Nirvana."

Li Che smiled lightly.

However, he did not immediately prepare to act.

He sat in a corner outside Cloud Peak Village, the sky clear, the air fresh, and a gentle breeze blowing.

"Here they come."

Sitting on the green stone, Li Che’s eyes flickered.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Hells were indeed vast, but most places were desolate and sparsely populated, making them quite primitive.

Green mountains and green stones stretched out, and Li Che sat in a deep mountain about a hundred miles from Cloud Peak Village.

His gaze deepened, his black hair dancing like black lightning, as if slicing through the void.

"Exhale—"

"Inhale—"

With each breath, Li Che’s aura transformed into that of an Immortal Warrior.

Xian Immortal Dao Union!

Though just completed, his Immortal Warrior will had greatly strengthened.

One plus one in the Great Way far exceeds two!

Rumbling!

Every inch of his flesh seemed to come alive, free from all constraints, as a mountain flood of Mystic Immortal Will erupted, radiating with brilliant light, the Great Way River surging with two colors, mysterious and extraordinary!

Boom!

An ancient bell resonated in his ears, like a massive gong carrying the marks of time, struck fiercely by an enraged heavenly deity!

The sound waves surged like a tide, as if they erupted from Li Che's body, sweeping in all directions.

Boom, boom, boom—

The bell waves thundered, mysterious and profound!

In his chest, ten Dao Fruits celebrated, as if resonating with the sound.

As the bell sound gradually faded away, Li Che's consciousness was pulled into a familiar vast and ancient world.

...

...

The Dao Tree Realm!

In this ancient and vast world, the Dao Tree soared into the sky, its branches spreading like a web, blocking the sun and covering the heavens, as if it were the origin of the universe, omnipresent.

Li Che stood with his hands behind his back, floating in the void, his eyes gleaming with light.

With the Dao Fruits having achieved the Six Transcendences and the seventh metamorphosis, Li Che was no longer the insignificant existence he once was in the presence of the Dao Tree.

Vaguely, he felt a faint will.

"The will of the Dao Tree?"

Li Che suddenly raised his head, his black hair spreading out like a black lotus beneath him.

"What a vast and grand will, it feels... even stronger than the will of the mortal world and the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells."

Li Che took a deep breath.

However, this feeling was very vague, as if he still lacked something to truly reach and touch this will.

"Perhaps, reaching the level of a Dao Fruit Master will allow me to touch the will of the Dao Tree."

Li Che mused.

His thoughts were soon interrupted as his gaze was drawn to a new Dao Fruit hanging on the Dao Tree, like a star.

It was Xi Xi's eleventh Dao Fruit, marking her tenth year!

With a soft thud, the Dao Fruit descended, as if crushing the void, and countless rays of light burst forth before Li Che's eyes.

They illuminated the scenes of Xi Xi's entire ninth year...

The scenes passed by like a fleeting glance, as if he were experiencing them firsthand.

Actually, this year had been a happy one for Xi Xi. Although she was far from her parents, she found many friends in the village and received much care.

Most of the scenes showed Xi Xi's life in the village, and Li Che couldn't help but feel joyful as he watched.

However, the scenes later turned sad.

It was as if Xi Xi's true emotions were changing. She realized that because of her, the entire village would face a great calamity, and indeed, it did.

When the village was destroyed, Xi Xi almost went mad, nearly falling into a curse.

But Li Che's appearance, like a ray of light, revived the villagers, and Xi Xi's mood finally calmed down.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Li Che truly felt the admiration his daughter had for him when he revived the villagers!

The older she gets, the more she has her own thoughts, but her admiration for her father remains unchanged!

A year of protection, and the Dao Fruit finally transformed!

My daughter Xi Xi, ten years old.

...

[Your daughter is ten years old, experiencing joy and sorrow, understanding the dangers of the human heart, and living in peace, obtaining the Dao Fruit "Hell"]

...

The seven-colored light suddenly turned pitch black, as if countless misty black clouds were piling up in front of him, forming cold, icy words.

The eleventh Dao Fruit!

Li Che was stunned as he read the message.

Hell?!

It feels familiar.

Li Che furrowed his brows, and the next moment, his eyes flashed with sharpness. Hell... Li Che was no stranger to it, whether from the myths of his past life or the Underworld he had created in this life, both were closely related to hell.

And in Li Che's original guess, the Nether Lotus was also related to hell.

Now, a Dao Fruit named "Hell" had actually appeared!

"This Dao Fruit..."

"After its transformation, will it become the only missing Earth Tribulation in my Primordial Nine Tribulations?"

Currently, Li Che only needed one more tribulation to complete his Primordial Nine Tribulations.

When Xi Xi was nine, she awakened the Dao Fruit "Sun Phoenix Chariot", which later transformed into the Fire Tribulation. Li Che categorized it with the Dragon Elephant Vajra as a Fire Tribulation Dao Fruit.

With each year of Xi Xi's growth, he would gain a new Dao Fruit. If Xi Xi didn't die, she would continue to grow, and the Dao Fruits she awakened would continue to increase.

Li Che speculated that most Dao Fruits were limited and categorized under the Primordial Nine Tribulations, divided according to the Dao Reincarnation.

They might have different functions, but they would ultimately converge on the same great path.

As Li Che thought, a repelling force erupted. Li Che did not resist this force and directly left the Dao Tree Realm.

He sat cross-legged on a green stone in the deep mountains, his gaze deep and distant.

In his chest, the eleventh Dao Fruit "Hell" was faintly pulsating.

This newborn Dao Fruit was too young, and its pulsation was indeed weaker compared to the other robust Dao Fruits.

[Hell (Dao Fruit): Hell arises in the netherworld, the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells, all things fall, and all return to hell]

Buzz—

The black mist rolled continuously, as if someone was spewing ink in front of him.

The true words of the Hell Dao Fruit appeared.

Li Che's eyes were deep, and his consciousness trembled. His gaze opened and closed, as if he had entered a state of "Penetrating the Netherworld", seeing the netherworld.

The entire Underworld seemed to tremble violently, resonating intensely with the Hell Dao Fruit.

However, perhaps due to the Hell Dao Fruit's weakness, this resonance quickly faded away.

[Hell Dao Fruit (Hell): Level 1, 10%]

Hm?

Li Che's eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of surprise in his eyes, as the Hell Dao Fruit had suddenly shown a maturity level, something that had never happened before.

"Where did this Hell Dao Fruit's maturity come from?"

Li Che was a bit puzzled.

But he soon realized the answer.

"Penetrate the Netherworld... seeing the Underworld and resonating with it... that must be the source of the Hell Dao Fruit's maturity."

Li Che couldn't help but take a deep breath, his heart pounding with excitement!

In his chest, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit began to vibrate.

The second level of the Chess Sage Dao Fruit's divine ability was Penetrate the Netherworld. Even though the Chess Sage Dao Fruit had already achieved the Six Transcendences, the ability to Penetrate the Netherworld still existed.

Buzz—

Li Che activated the Penetrate the Netherworld ability, and his pupils seemed to become profoundly deep!

Everything around him turned into a desolate and pitch-black hue. The ancient mountains, with trees over ten thousand years old, withered and decayed, their branches bare, as if countless dark creatures of the Underworld were cawing and flapping, emitting thick black mist.

Rumble—

While maintaining the Penetrate the Netherworld state, the Hell Dao Fruit seemed to tremble violently.

Faintly, Li Che felt as if he had transformed into a black vortex, and the Hell Dao Fruit was frantically absorbing the power of the Underworld.

Suddenly, Li Che looked up and saw a blood-red sky in the distance, where lava-like inferno erupted, and a terrifying eye seemed to cast its gaze!

Li Che's heart skipped a beat.

That was an incredibly fearsome entity!

Without hesitation, Li Che exited the Penetrate the Netherworld state.

The Hell Dao Fruit then returned to a calm state.

Li Che exhaled a deep breath, feeling an extreme pressure from the entity that had rushed from the Underworld.

"Perhaps... that was an Immortal-level existence!"

"An Immortal in the Underworld?!"

Li Che shook his head slightly.

The mortal world, the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells, and the Underworld...

This universe was filled with too many mysteries.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Hells and the mortal world were vastly different from the Underworld, which was the world where the dead entered.

However, for the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells and the mortal world, the Underworld was shrouded in mystery and taboo.

[Hell Dao Fruit (Hell): Level 1, 60%]

Seeing the rapid increase in maturity, Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The ease with which the Dao Fruit's maturity increased was surprising to Li Che, but this surprise was also accompanied by a sense of unease.

Things that come too easily often leave one feeling insecure.

This "Hell" Dao Fruit gave Li Che no sense of solidity or stability.

Rubbing his nose, Li Che exited the Penetrate the Netherworld state.

However, to further increase the Dao Fruit's maturity, Li Che might need to frequently enter the Penetrate the Netherworld state.

But staying in that state for too long was dangerous, as it could attract terrifying entities, which was too risky.

The Underworld seemed to be a reflection of the universe; dying in the Underworld would also mean death in the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells. Therefore, the danger was no less severe than in reality.

Standing up, he stretched lazily.

Li Che's mind expanded, sensing the four Nirvanas seated in the void.

The Quasi-Sovereign level Nirvana, Li Che naturally didn't want to provoke.

Li Che had just reached the Xian Immortal Dao Union level, equivalent to the Path-Cutting Realm. He was unsure if he could defeat a Nirvana.

Winning or losing didn't matter; Li Che wanted to test his transformed strength using a low-level Nirvana.

Ideally, Li Che should have sought out a Path-Cutting Realm god to test himself, but...

Among the Path-Cutting Realm gods surrounding Cloudy Peak Village, there were none.

So, Li Che decided to directly challenge a Nirvana to test his strength.

It would also serve as a gift for Xi Xi's tenth birthday.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded, and Li Che's figure drifted into the void, disappearing without a trace.

...

...

Outside Cloudy Peak Village.

In the void, the wind swirled.

The Quasi-Sovereign of the Obscure Heavenly Court sat cross-legged, his aura incredibly powerful and profound.

In addition, three low-level Nirvanas were seated in the void, spaced about a thousand feet apart, blocking all areas outside Cloudy Peak Village.

They seemed quite relaxed, as their goal was to blockade Cloudy Peak Village, which didn't put much pressure on them.

Cloudy Peak Village had yet to fully integrate with Yulian's Daughter, meaning it hadn't been fully cultivated. Without being fully cultivated, subjugating Cloudy Peak Village would yield no benefits.

Thus, these Nirvanas were at ease, not needing to take action.

Although Cloudy Peak Village had merged with Earth Village, it was not particularly strong. If not for the mysterious Ksitigarbha, who even the Young Emperor feared, supposedly hiding in Cloudy Peak Village, these Nirvanas might have dared to sit right at the village entrance.

They were that arrogant...

Just one Tuo Ba Lian, although also a Nirvana, is far too old.

Moreover, on their side, there's a Quasi-Sovereign in charge, more than capable of suppressing Tuo Ba Lian thoroughly.

Thus, the three early-stage Nirvanas can easily sit in the void.

Li Che, standing a hundred miles away, felt that even the Chess Sage’s Dao Fruit, though at the Six Transcendences stage, wasn’t powerful enough to shield against the abilities of a Nirvana.

The Star Shift technique, which instantly creates distance, was once detected by a Quasi-Sovereign, but the impact was minimal.

Now, to deal with a Nirvana, he needed to get closer...

Getting closer naturally brought issues and influences.

Li Che stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering. He sensed the three Nirvanas in the void.

Finally, he locked onto the one with the weakest aura, an early-stage Nirvana.

Even for Li Che, the pressure from a Nirvana was undeniable.

However, now that he had successfully achieved Dao Union, Li Che was more driven by the desire to test his cultivation and combat prowess.

Of course, another reason was to further the transformation of his Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.

Now, with its seventh transformation, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit needed to face stronger opponents to improve...

After pinpointing the Nirvana, Li Che’s mind stirred, and he raised his five fingers toward the Nirvana’s direction from afar.

His fingers clenched tightly.

Boom—!!!

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard suddenly expanded, as if a chess piece had been dropped from beyond the heavens.

Like a star falling onto the chessboard, it splashed a thousand feet of starlight!

In the next moment, Li Che used the Star Shift technique, appearing within a hundred feet of the Nirvana. With a gesture, a black vortex appeared in the air.

Underworld Capital!

Swallow!

Boom—!!!

"Ridiculous!"

In the void.

The Quasi-Sovereign, who had been overseeing the area, suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze slicing through the void like a divine spear.

The moment Li Che made his move, the Quasi-Sovereign sensed something amiss.

A powerful aura of life and death swept through, causing the void to ripple.

"What madness?!"

At the entrance of Cloud Peak Village.

The extremely old and drowsy Tuo Ba Lian cursed and stomped his cane.

Black and white qi, the essence of life and death, burst from his aging body, protecting the entire Cloud Peak Village.

Rumbling—

In the void, light bloomed, and the black and white qi rolled like dragons.

The Quasi-Sovereign stepped forward, as if the Path of Life and Death had been laid out beneath his feet.

He stared at the spot where the early-stage Nirvana had been, now empty and gone.

And that strange probing aura had also vanished!

"One early-stage Nirvana, taken right under my nose?"

"Who could it be?"

"A powerful cultivator in Cloud Peak Village? Impossible, there’s only Tuo Ba Lian in Cloud Peak Village. Could it be the Ksitigarbha that the Young Emperor spoke of?"

The Quasi-Sovereign’s face darkened.

"This kind of technique... It’s not right. The Young Emperor once said that the Ksitigarbha acts with boundless might and unmatched combat power, a true Nirvana Sovereign. If he wanted to deal with an early-stage Nirvana, he wouldn’t need such rat-like tactics."

The Quasi-Sovereign’s face turned grim.

Tuo Ba Lian, however, smiled, his eyes gleaming and rolling.

"Heh... One Nirvana gone. Could it be your rivals are trying to weaken your Obscure Heavenly Court’s strength?"

Tuo Ba Lian laughed.

He seemed to have guessed something, but as an extremely experienced veteran, he naturally didn’t show it.

The Quasi-Sovereign snorted coldly, while the other two Nirvanas were drenched in cold sweat, and the numerous Dao Union and Dao Fusion cultivators were sweating profusely.

If even a Nirvana could be taken away, it would be easy to take them too!

What demons or ghosts were lurking in the darkness?

...

...

The missing early-stage Nirvana was in a daze.

He hadn’t expected to be sitting calmly in the void when a black vortex suddenly appeared. By the time he realized what was happening, he was forcefully dragged away by an irresistible, profound force.

"Little Inner Heaven?"

Black rain poured down from the sky, splashing against the buildings and ground of the city, creating a gray mist.

Inside the Underworld Capital, the area had been cleared.

Cang Che from Cang Lang Village was placed inside the Master Tower, the safest place.

"Who are you?"

The early-stage Nirvana had never seen the Underworld Capital.

The Underworld Capital, while well-known in the human realm, had never displayed its might in the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells.

The early-stage Nirvana roared, his voice rolling out, shattering the black rain and sending powerful life and death qi surging, causing all the raindrops to freeze in mid-air.

Each frozen raindrop formed a perfect, black pearl.

In the reflected light of these black pearls, he saw a figure approaching.

He scanned the void but saw nothing.

Suddenly.

Behind him, just ten feet away, an intense explosion erupted!

It was like a blazing sun rising from the vast sea, evaporating countless currents!

Blazingly bright, the sun rose in the east!

It was a furnace of extreme heat, formed from the purest blood qi. Such pure blood qi was extremely rare, if not nonexistent, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells!

"Human realm technique?! The Pure Martial Path?!"

This First Stage Nirvana had exceptional eyesight, recognizing the figure at this very moment.

"Impossible!"

"How can the Path of the Mortal World, the Pure Martial Path, reach such a level?!"

Li Che donned his mask, the long-lost Underworld Bull Demon mask. His dark robe instantly swelled, filled out by his robust frame.

Pure blood qi burned to the extreme, scorching heat sweeping across the heavens and earth!

Rushing water sounds—

Martial Immortal aura, profound and mysterious, emerged!

Two-colored Great Dao Rivers surged forth, swiftly sweeping through the air, producing a rushing sound!

Li Che stretched out his arms, his bones and muscles resonating, his spine roaring like an angry dragon, directly activating the Eight Mystic Gates Immortal Seed stance!

Boom, boom, boom, boom—

Eight Mystic Seeds of the Eight Gates, each exploding one after another!

Facing a Nirvana, Li Che dared not be the slightest bit negligent!

He directly engaged his enemy in his strongest state, having just entered the Dao Union realm!

"Such terrifying blood qi, to achieve this with just blood qi? Martial Immortal... Mortal World Martial Immortal!"

"Wait! Mortal World Martial Immortal?!"

"You are..."

The Nirvana seemed to have sensed something, his eyes instantly bursting with disbelief!

The Mortal World Martial Immortal, isn't that Yulian's Daughter's father?

Yulian's Daughter's father... is actually here in the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells?!

This news hit the Nirvana like a thunderclap, his consciousness rippling, the aura of life and death surging around him. In the next moment, his eyes erupted with boundless excitement.

"Yulian's Daughter's father?!"

"If I can capture you and bring you back to the Obscure Heavenly Court to complete my mission, I will definitely earn Immortality's praise! This is a tremendous feat!"

The Nirvana was excited and mad!

Powerful divine energy erupted, and behind him, the Path of Life and Death, a black and white expanse, stretched out.

The auras of life and death constantly shifted!

Li Che, seeing the enthusiastic Nirvana, a slight smile curved his lips.

Facing a fully unleashed Nirvana, there was no fear in his eyes!

He took a step forward, seemingly light and effortless, yet filled with profound mystery, as if tracing a peculiar arc in the sky above the Underworld Capital, appearing before the Nirvana.

Facing the auras of life and death, amidst the bright and dark cycles of life and death, he thrust out a punch!

A punch from a Dao Union Immortal!

Perhaps the only punch from an Immortal in the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells!

...

...

Rushing water sounds—

The entire Underworld Capital shattered, everything turning to fragments.

Boom!

Even the tallest Master Tower, with its spider-webbed cracks, crumbled and shattered into dust, drifting away. A figure stumbled out from the rubble, stepping on scattered debris, his whole body trembling.

Cang Che was filled with shock, having observed the entire battle from within the Master Tower.

A life-and-death confrontation between two Nirvanas!

The entire Underworld Capital was left in ruins, a testament to the ferocity of the battle.

In the central square of the Underworld Capital, amidst the broken ground, a figure knelt, his head exploded, only his body still emitting black and white auras of life and death.

Cang Che's whole body trembled, his shock overwhelming.

Beside the Nirvana, a figure wearing a cute and smiling bull demon mask stood, his clothes torn, his body covered in wounds, blood and flesh steaming.

Seeing this figure, Cang Che's heart quivered, his eyes burning with fervor.

"Tea... Teacher!"

Li Che stood still, reflecting on the gains from his battle with the Nirvana, paying no heed to Cang Che's presence.

He had successfully slain the Nirvana.

However, not by relying on his Dao Union Immortal cultivation, but by...

Rumbling—

Behind him, the dust was torn apart.

A towering black shadow, exuding overwhelming pressure, stood firm.

The already shattered ground, unable to bear the weight, turned to dust, and countless clouds of smoke rose into the sky.

Hum—

It sounded like a mechanism being activated.

Two beams of golden light erupted.

Cang Che lifted his head, like a tiny insect gazing at the vast sky.

He saw the Heavenly Armament of the Nirvana, engraved with four symbols of heaven and earth, fully activated, standing behind Li Che, as if roaring to the vast sky!

Cang Che was entranced, his mind in a daze.

To create a mechanism capable of slaying a Nirvana, even the Great Immortal Divine Crane... could not have done better!

Unparalleled!

Li Che's body radiated scorching heat, his blood qi highly active, emitting a burning sensation.

He slowly approached the Nirvana whose head had been exploded, his life utterly extinguished.

Li Che's heart stirred.

The Hell Dao Fruit in his chest throbbed, and he stimulated it, intending to test his hypothesis!

Li Che spread his fingers, aiming at the Nirvana's corpse.

"Soul Summoning!"

Thump, thump, thump—

Silence enveloped the world.

As if an ancient god of death was intoning!

Then, the Path of Life and Death, belonging to the Nirvana, stretched forth, spanning the netherworld...

Li Che's black hair danced wildly, a slight smile curving his lips.

"The Path of Life and Death you once walked..."

"Is requisitioned by Hell."
