Chapter 319: The Emperor's Text Infectee, Part 4

Of course, this could easily go wrong. There was a chance of distorting it too much, of ultimately becoming another Queen Bee instead of himself.

This move seemed to be working surprisingly well.

Her poison invaded smoothly, and Akbar felt a surge of unexpected joy. ‘So his Divine Material was never activated at all. No wonder…’

‘I’ve been watching this kid for years. He wandered the streets, fought for his life, and had a fierce streak, but there’s no way he could have become such a terrifying figure in just a few days…’

‘He must have secretly worshipped some powerful God and received its Blessing, becoming a monster at the peak of Tier One. But he hasn’t initiated Tier Two, so his Divine Material has undergone no changes whatsoever!’

‘…’

This was her chance!

She recklessly injected her poison into Han Su, wanting only a chance to reemerge in the world in the future.

But unexpectedly, Han Su was also frowning. He sighed internally, ‘My previous guess was right. In the end, I still have to walk this path…’

‘In terms of both Spiritual Range and Spiritual Activity, I’m far stronger than Akbar.’

‘The only area I fall short is my Divine Material. In this life line, I’m a complete blank slate, so I’m no match for her at all. After all, she’s a Queen Bee through and through; her Divine Material has long since become twisted. In essence, she is no longer human.’

‘And if I don’t solve this problem, I can never hope to contend with the experts in the world of the supernatural.’

‘In my previous life line, I had already begun to come into contact with the Emperor’s Text, but I was extremely cautious, never daring to let loose.’

But in this life line, he suddenly came to a realization:

‘Since my life can be restarted, why not be bold and experiment?’

‘My opponents are all monsters.’

‘When facing those monsters, what luxury do I have to hesitate and be picky?’

‘I need power, and the Emperor’s Text is precisely what will bring me the power I need most!’

With that thought, he let out a soft breath. His Spiritual Power suddenly seeped into the suitcase and made contact with the Emperor’s Book. Akbar’s poison was instantly devoured by the Emperor’s Book, and in the next moment, countless bizarre characters merged with Han Su’s Divine Material.

At that moment, Han Su’s eyes opened slightly. Within his pupils, countless bizarre characters swirled, converged, and then slowly dissipated.

And he felt as if the world had suddenly become completely different from before.

Across from him, Akbar’s body slowly slumped to the ground. She had become an empty shell, completely and utterly dead.

‘I’ve finally started down this path…’

This was the first time in two life lines that Han Su had actively initiated the Stealing of the Emperor’s Book.

He understood that taking this step would usher his power into a period of explosive growth.

Just like how the power of the Four Heavenly Kings far surpassed that of others.

With every bit of pollution he accepted, his power would surge dramatically.

This was a good thing, of course, but as for how to eventually rid himself of this pollution, he had no answer yet.

The only fortunate thing was that before starting down this path, he had already witnessed four different philosophies of resistance.

On the path of the mysterious, each stage required a forerunner to guide one’s training in Mysterious Power.

From that perspective, his mystical mentors for Tier Two were the Four Heavenly Kings.

But as for the end result, well, that was up to fate.

‘After all, do I really have any other choice?’
