At this critical moment, Ling Tian suddenly began to break through. Chi Xue and the others were both shocked and delighted. Their shock came from the fact that Ling Tian couldn't fully deal with the Demon Slayer Alliance's cultivators while breaking through, making it easier for them to break through the combined Myriad Sword Demon Extermination and Buddha Kingdom World formation.

Since they couldn't defeat the Demon Slayer Alliance's cultivators, they wouldn't be able to obtain those two Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures anytime soon.
Their delight, of course, came from the fact that they hadn't expected Ling Tian to reach the Twenty-fourth Heaven of Near-Saint so quickly. They also knew how much his strength would improve once he broke through. That would make it even easier for him to safely lead everyone into the Sacred Ruins Abyss.
