If the Lord of the Universe truly revealed his true form and attacked Ling Tian with the Kun Yu Saber in hand, the best response would be for Ling Tian to hold him off alone while the Eastern Emperor Bell took Hua Min'er and the others into the space within his true body. Only then could their safety be assured.
"But can you hold off the Lord of the Universe alone?!" Dan Bi asked, filled with worry. Of course, she knew this was the only way to ensure Hua Min'er and the others remained safe. "That's the Lord of the Universe! His combat strength is immense, especially in close combat. With his incredibly powerful physique on top of that, surely it would be almost impossible for you to withstand him alone in a close-range fight."
"If it's close combat without all those Daoist arts, I think I still have a chance of holding him off. At worst, I can use my movement techniques and various lifesaving methods to maneuver around him. At the very least, it won't be that easy for him to hit me with the Kun Yu Saber," Ling Tian said confidently. Before Dan Bi and the others could speak, he continued, "Of course, the most important thing is that if even I can't hold off the Lord of the Universe, then our friends and family won't be able to either, even if they fight shoulder to shoulder with me. With every sweep of his saber, they'll be cut down in swathes. In that case, I'd be better off facing his attacks alone."
"Most importantly, if even I can't give the Lord of the Universe trouble in close combat, our friends and family certainly can't. After all, my close-combat strength is far greater than theirs," Ling Tian added.
