I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World



After nether energy in the netherite was exhausted, Albion took out another netherite and repeated the same step.

Red wisps of nether energy were extracted from the netherite, purified by the 10th Tribulation Lightning. Then, Albion scrambled for the pure soul energy as the 10th Tribulation Lightning went for the primordial energy.

After depleting the nether energy from numerous netherites in the Ashura Ring, greatly exhausting his wealth at the same time, Albion reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

He was just a step away from achieving immortalization in his soul and becoming a True Immortal in both soul and body.

[Free Reign]: 30D 4H 20M 52S

Note: after the depletion of free reign, the host will be unable to move for one hour.

Albion narrowed his eyes after checking the information on Free Reign.

In the past, he could only move for 5 minutes before his body shuts down for 24 hours. However, now he could move freely for more than a month before facing an hour cooldown.

The difference between the two situations was like heaven and earth.

Given the present state of things, Albion no longer had to worry about his immobility. He just had to spare an hour in the sealed state to enjoy the rest of the month unrestricted.

It was like people needing to sleep every day. But instead of getting an average of 8 hours of sleep a day, Albion only needed 1 hour of rest a month.

'Once my soul undergoes immortalization and achieves True Immortal equilibrium in soul and body, I can officially say, what is sleep, huh?' Albion mused.

Unless True Immortals overexert their body and divine energy, they did not need to rest, ever.

'Unfortunately, an enormous amount of energy is required to reach True Immortal. Given the cost to reach Peak-stage Spirit Manifestation Realm, the remaining lower-quality netherites in the Ashura Ring won't be enough,' Albion pondered.

If it were anyone else in Netherglow City with Albion's wealth of netherites, they would have easily reached True Soul Immortal.

But even if they reached True Soul Immortal, they would never be as powerful as Albion in the same realm.

Albion had cultivated with the purest form of soul energy. As such, his soul was especially firm and pure. Even the Dark Emperor's influence on Albion's mind largely abated.

Nevertheless, Albion could hardly feel the changes.

Albion and the Dark Emperor had already become an inseparable existence as if it was how things should be—or rather, how some great existence wanted it to be.

Some great power was work in the dark.

Although Albion did not know what the great existence wanted, he could sense there was a purpose behind his fate intertwining with the Dark Emperor.

The 10th Tribulation Lightning that brought him to the Dark Emperor was unlikely a coincidence.

Nevertheless, Albion was not the only one who made significant improvements during his cultivation. The 10th Tribulation Lightning in his sea of consciousness has grown into a full-size serpent.

The 10th Tribulation Lightning didn't just have the serpent length; it also had the serpent form.

However, Albion didn't feel like the 10th Tribulation Lightning didn't evolve from feeding on the primordial energy. Instead, he felt like it had restored its true appearance.

'A lightning serpent of pure lightning with a will of its own… I don't think 10th Tribulation Lightning is the right thing to call it… It should be called a lightning serpent spirit instead, no?' Albion thought.

Ding!

<The 10th Tribulation Lightning has been renamed as Lightning Serpent Spirit>

<The title 'Possessor of the 10th Tribulation Lightning' has been updated to 'Possessor of the Lightning Serpent Spirit'>

<True Immortal Tribulation Lightning Physique has been changed to True Immortal Lightning Spirit Physique>

[Lightning Serpent Spirit]: An unfathomable and destructive existence, not constrained by time and space. It has the power to destroy an Immortal Emperor's soul.

Note: Little is known about the Lightning Serpent Spirit. New information will be updated upon discovery.

…

Albion rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

He could at least still see his soul core through the gaps in the 10th Tribulation Lightning. But now that it had grown into a Lightning Serpent Spirit, it had completely wrapped around his soul core.

Thanks to that, Albion almost made a huge discovery. Or rather, it was something he had overlooked this whole time.

The Lightning Serpent Spirit, which could even destroy the soul of a 10th stage Heavenly Immortal, did not affect his soul.

'My soul has special trait pertaining to lightning… This allowed my soul to ride the Lightning Serpent Spirit through space and time and hijack the Dark Emperor's body…'

Albion contemplated with a deep look.

His soul was extremely weak like any other mortal when he first transmigrated. Yet, it was also this exact same soul that could withstand the destructive power of the Lightning Serpent Spirit.

However, that didn't make sense.

People with special lightning soul constitutions cannot withstand higher-power lightning. Lightning soul constitutions only grant people a degree of resistance against lightning power.

There shouldn't be any special lightning soul constitution that can withstand the Lightning Serpent Spirit's destructive power, which might be on the same level as gods.

'What I have is more than just a special lightning soul constitution… It's complete immunity against lightning… Furthermore, the Lightning Serpent Spirit is fond of my soul…'

Albion wondered why that is the case.
