I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

City Lord Baschmi repeatedly took deep breaths to relax before he finally stabilized his emotions.

Not long after, however, City Lord Baschmi felt Albion's hot stare on his Immortal Ascension Pill and immediately felt alarmed.

City Lord Baschmi retreated a step and held his pill firmly while shooting Albion a weary look.

"Why are you staring at my pill like that, Sir Albion? Don't tell you won't even let me have this one pill either? Don't go too far. We had an agreement."

"Huh?"

Albion raised an eyebrow before he said, "I was just wondering when you were going to ingest it and summon the Heavenly Tribulation."

"Huh?"

It was City Lord Baschmi's turn to be baffled as he glanced back at Albion with doubt.

"You're not telling me to ingest the pill on the spot, are you? I need to stabilize my condition and make some mental preparations first to maximize my chances."

"There's no need for such hassles. Just take the pill and be done with it. I'll be taking on the brunt of the Heavenly Tribulation anyway."

Albion waved his hand with impatience, urging City Lord Baschmi to hurry up and proceed with his advancement.

"But…"

"Just do it. Don't be a wuss."

"Y-you—!"

City Lord Baschmi's emotion became turbulent at Albion's provocation.

However, his bottled-up anger had nowhere to vent.

Still, this was his breakthrough and his life at stake, so why does the other person seem even more excited than he is?!

"Fine!"

City Lord Baschmi snappishly ingested the Immortal Ascension Pill, and his Peak-stage Spirit Manifestation Aura began to surge.

Within moments, his stagnant cultivation crossed the boundary of Spirit Manifestation and rose to Half-step True Immortal.

Rumble…!

The skies quickly began to darken from the gathering and dark clouds and the crackling of thunder, clearing indicating the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.

"There's no turning back now."

City Lord Baschmi gazed at the darkening skies with a grave look as if he was about to face his life's greatest hurdle.

However, Albion, on the other hand, appeared excited.

"It's coming!" Albion exclaimed before warning Fenrira, "Step away from here. It won't be safe for you to stick too close."

"Yes, Master."

Fenrira complied obediently, feeling the chills and shiver brought by the threatening power of annihilation gathering in the skies above.

Shortly after, Albion suddenly started stripping off his clothes at once.

Gasp!

Fenrira gasped with flushed cheeks.

She quickly covered her face in response but still ended up blatantly peeking through the gaps of her fingers without blinking.

At the same time, City Lord Baschmi's expression froze in shock.

"Sir Albion! What the hell are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be preparing to help me overcome the tribulation?"

"Hm? Of course, I am. I'm saving my clothes from the Heavenly Tribulation. What else does it look like?"

Albion's expression remained casual and indifferent to other people's gazes.

"What else does it look? It looks like you're preparing for a naked beach party!" City Lord Baschmi snappishly said.

Albion immediately replies with a grin, "Well, you're not wrong."

After all, he will be swimming in a sea of lightning.

However, the confidence Albion was displaying in his natural state appears very unreliable to City Lord Baschmi.

Did he make the wrong decision by placing his faith in this person?

City Lord Baschmi was starting to think so!

Rumble…!

The crackling thunder became more powerful and threatened to tear the skies asunder as the Heavenly Tribulation revealed signs of its first strike.

"Oh, mama…"

"Bon appetit!"

Swoosh!

Albion's figure immediately disappeared with a mighty leap, causing loads of snow to be blown away as he shot straight into the sky!

Boom!

The first ray of tribulation lightning descended in a white flash, striking Albion's bare body before continuing with unstoppable momentum to strike City Lord Baschmi!

"Uwarghh—hahaha! This tribulation lightning isn't so bad! I can take it!" City Lord Baschmi laughed with vigorous grandeur.

However, it was only the first tribulation lightning, the weakest of the nine strikes, not to mention Albion's body absorbed most of its power.

Ding!

<+1 unit of divine energy refined>

Nevertheless, Albion overheard City Lord Baschmi's overconfident boast before he suddenly paused in the sky.

"Oh? Wouldn't you like to take on the rest by yourself then, City Lord Baschmi?"

Cough* Cough*

"Ahem, no… I'm sorry… Please continue, Sir Albion…" City Lord Baschmi coughed embarrassingly as his bolstered ego deflated. 

Albion silently laughed before he kicked the air and shot into the tribulation clouds.

Ding!

<+1 unit of divine energy refined>

<+1 unit of divine energy refined>

<+1 unit of divine energy refined>

Albion continuously absorbed the tribulation lightning's power as it struck his body.

At the same time, the tribulation clouds failed to gather their power to send down the next lightning strike despite growing twice as powerful due to Albion's interference.

Rumble…!

The Heavenly Tribulation roared furiously!

It sensed something wrong and began gathering even more lightning power from the heavens to deliver its strikes!

The worldly commotion did not go unnoticed and drew the crowd from the Frost Demon's Lair to spectate the once-in-a-lifetime event.

"Amazing, City Lord Baschmi is breaking through to the legendary True Immortal Realm! What an honor it is to witness the moment!"

"The Heavenly Tribulation is even more spectacular than I imagined!"

"Did anyone see a person fly into the Heavenly Tribulation? How domineering and brave he must be to do something like that!"

The crowd commented.

Of course, none of the Blue Wyvern City's people believed that Albion would come back alive as they all assumed he committed suicide.

Little did they know that there would be more Heavenly Tribulations to come.

"Strange, why hasn't the next tribulation lightning descended yet? Does it usually take this long?" a man with dragon horns wondered.

However, it didn't take long before the crowd noticed the tribulation clouds dispersing in all directions.

"Ah, the Heavenly Tribulation is leaving!"

Just like that, before the Heavenly Tribulation could deliver its nine strikes, it turned tail and fled from an anomaly like Albion after failing to overcome him.

Unfortunately, it didn't learn from its predecessors and flee sooner.

"Who knew breaking through to True Immortal could be this—"

City Lord Baschmi's celebration abruptly ended upon noticing something wrong.

He was still a Half-step True Immortal.

"…"

City Lord Baschmi couldn't process the situation and stood frozen still with a dumb look.
