Chapter 1688: Guilty As Charged.

Then he took the single drop of milky liquid out of the bottle and made it touch his body. The drop seeped into his existence immediately. His body and soul began to heal because of it. 

He sighed in relief. "Fortunately, I have life essence."

Life essence is very good. It replenished the water he had lost and rebuilt the broken bucket. It made him retain his top fighting strength before the third and last tribulation descended. 

He didn't know when the third tribulation started either. This time around, he won't be able to know because he has lost focus. His mind was wandering, and his thoughts were scattered. He was not aware of his environment or purpose at all. 

The lightning was still striking him, but he couldn't feel pain anymore. He couldn't feel the itch either. The mind tribulation is that insidious. If he had waited until now to use life essence, he wouldn't be able to use it because he wouldn't even be able to remember that he had it.
