I will not go quietly was the only thing on Zero made when punched the lightning tribulation, from the start till now Zero was heavily suppressed by it and it gave him no room to breathe and Zero finally could not take it anymore.
Like a beast that was pushing into a corner, Zero came out fighting and Zero no longer cared if he lived or died anymore.
The lightning tribulation lasted for a few hours and during those hours the only thing that was on Zero mind was to get stronger or die.
After failing to make enough breakthroughs Zero knew that he was going to die and the fear of death could no longer hold him anymore.
For the first time since the lightning tribulation started Zero finally felt free when he was punching the lightning.
But at that moment before contact was made something new happened in Zero body like a flood in the desert Zero found that a new source of strength.
The new strength as was like a dream as Zero cultivation rose quickly and reached Spirit gathering peak and BOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
The impact of the collision between Zero and the lightning strike was like the explosion of a nuclear boom.
A massive shock wave was created from the initial contact and the shock wave was powerfull that it destroyed everything within a 100 kilometers from Zero.
Before Zero came to this place it was flat and you could see for miles and everywhere you looked you would be able to beautiful green fields that filled with the most beautiful of flower in every color that could imagine.
Now everything with a hundred kilometer was gone the ground itself looked like it would never recover.
The shock wave created a massive 30 meters deep crater below Zero and the sabertooth spirit beast was blown away.
Even with Zero giving it his all and getting a new boast in power it was still not enough to contend with the lightning strike and Zero soon overwhelmed by the lightning and was buried deep in the crater with a loud BOOOM.
There was dust and flying debris everywhere, the dust cloud reached high it the sky, the sky that dark a second ago.
Looking at the sky it would make one feel like seeing the sun for the first time of a storm that lasted weeks, the dark cloud faded into nothingness as nothing happened here.
Deep with the crater that was now over 50 meters deep, the was a burned up body, the body was burned to the bone only leaving a few pieces of meat here and there.
If you were to look closely enough you would be able to see that the person's bones shine if bright golden light and they were still perfectly fine without even a scratch on them.
Looking at the state that the body was at you could tell that the was no way that this person could survive.
The person lying on the was obviously Zero and somehow he survived the lightning tribulation but surviving was to big a word to call the state that he was in.
The was now medicine in the world that could save him from dying now and Zero knew it but that did not stop him from laughing.
The sabertooth spirit beast walked back to where Zero was, the shock wave sent him flying for 50 meters away and from the bond that he shared with Zero he could tell that Zero did not die yet.
The sabertooth spirit east was a level 6 spirit beast and that equivalent to Spirit gathering peak and the was a strange relationship between a spirit beast and its master.
The spirit beast and its master can transfer Spirit QI between the two of then when Zero suddenly had his cultivation boasted to Spirit gathering peak all that came from the sabertooth spirit beast.
Transferring all its power to Zero coursed it to be unable to defend it's self when the shock wave hit it coursing minor injuries.
The sabertooth arrived to find the dying Zerolying on the ground laughing like this was nothing but a funning joke, for a minute the sabertooth beast thought that Zero had gone crazy.
Zero looked at the sabertooth spirit beast and said " you look like a cute dog now but if I'm not mistaken you looked like a wolf earlier which one is really''. Without even waiting for it to even acknowledge that it understood him Zero continued " it does not matter what kind of Spirit beast you are what only matters is that you are strong and I want to thank you for helping. You saved my life even though you can not see it from my current state but you did and for that, I am very grateful. I can only wish that I could have fulfilled my part of the deal and cured you of the black ink poison but it cant now but don't worry I have a way out for you. Search for the Pure water flower thee higher the grade the better it won't cure the poison but it will keep it in check for a small time. The only way for you to get rid of the poison is to make a breakthrough and becoming a level 7 spirit beast. When you reach level 7 it would be easy for you to refine the poison in your body and now to the last part I think you need a name that fits you and that name is Saber. The name comes from my homeworld it was given to the best hunters to even walk that world."
After Zero said that he was quite for the same time and so was Saber he looked at Zero and did not know how to react. Saber wast every smart for a spirit beast but it remained that he was just a puppy if you were to comper him to human age Saber was 2 years old.
While Saber was trying to figure out what to do about the dying man in front of him, a beautiful golden lightning fall from the sky and struck Zero.
Knowing that the was now was he could survive its Saber turned around and looked at where he was trying to commit it to memory when he felt something different coming from Zero.
Saber had check Zero condition his flames of life were also out but now like someone poured petrol on flame it was rising with every second.
Saber turned and look at Zero and what he saw shocked him Zero bodies were now healing at an impossible pace.
Saber could see new muscle tissue forming and soon Zero bodies were back to normal. It was better than normal like newborns his body had a pure smell like a newborn baby.
Saber quickly transformed into his bigger body and picked Zero using the fullest speed and covering its tracks saber disappeared into the horizon.
