Ling Tian had finally broken through to the late stage of the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint. His next step was to reach its peak. Once he broke through to that level, he would be infinitely close to sainthood and have a much better chance of resisting the Lord of the Universe's cosmic suppression.
As always, being able to withstand the Lord of the Universe's cosmic suppression was crucial to Ling Tian. Only by resisting it would he have a chance to use the various secret arts he had cultivated. Only then would he have a chance to defeat the Lord of the Universe.

Besides, the sooner Ling Tian reached the peak of the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint, the more time he would have to pursue a higher level. Even if he ultimately failed to break through to the Thirty-sixth Heaven of Near-Saint, he could still come infinitely close to it, and his strength would be far greater than it was when he had just reached the peak of the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint.
