Everyone had believed that once Ling Tian broke through to the peak of the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint, even if he could not become a saint outright, he would at least be infinitely close to the level of a saint. But after spending such a long time finally breaking through, he still had not come infinitely close to that level, let alone become a saint. Chi Xue and the others were deeply disappointed, though even more than that, they were confused. Why couldn't Ling Tian come infinitely close to the level of a saint?
After their confusion came worry. They naturally worried that Ling Tian might never come infinitely close to that level, and they also worried that they themselves might not manage it after breaking through to the peak of the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint.
It made sense. In Chi Xue and the others' minds, only if Ling Tian came infinitely close to the level of a saint would they have any chance of resisting the Lord of the Universe's cosmic suppression. Only then would they have a chance to defeat him. If Ling Tian could not come infinitely close to sainthood, he would naturally struggle to resist that suppression in the future. And if he could not withstand it, then even if several of Chi Xue and the others came infinitely close to sainthood, it would be meaningless. Once Ling Tian failed to resist the Lord of the Universe's cosmic suppression, their friends and family would perish alongside him.
If they could not save their loved ones, then killing the Lord of the Universe would be meaningless to Chi Xue and the others. Besides, if Ling Tian could not come infinitely close to the level of a saint, they certainly could not either. Even if they joined forces,
