Chapter 333: Skill Waterloo

"Yu Hao!" You You gasped, shocked to see him flung back. "Are you hurt?"

"I’m… fine." Yu Hao scrambled up, staring at the renewed barrier of light. "Why’s this barrier back? Can’t get through now?"

"Seems the Divine Temple blocks you." You You eyed the grand structure. "I’ll go check alone. Wait here."

Yu Hao hesitated, torn between charging in and angering the Saint. Finally nodding, he said, "Be careful, You You. Shout if you need me!"

"Right." She turned toward the temple.

An unusual stillness enveloped the white jade passage. Not mere silence – stepping onto it brought immediate serenity, her mind clearing like still water.

Though walking slowly, You You soon reached the pristine doors. Unlike the Demon Hall’s intricate patterns, these smooth doors resembled polished mirrors.

As she pondered entry, the doors creaked open. Thick divine power billowed out as purple mist, stinging her eyes.

She entered an impossibly vast hall bathed in multicolored light. Glowing particles drifted like snow while flower petals rained down, creating surreal beauty. Both You You and Little Flame on her shoulder gaped at the spectacle. The dense divine energy felt intoxicating, as if they could level up any minute. Little Flame quivered excitedly, circling You You before inhaling a wisp of divine power.

CRACK.

The hall froze. Dancing lights halted mid-air. Petals hung suspended. Temperature plummeted as ice spread across flower-strewn floors.

"Little Flame!" You You cried.

Too late. The hall became winter’s heart – frost coating every surface, jagged icicles shooting from the ground.

WHOOSH! Little Flame surged into crimson firewall, melting the assault. But defense triggered worse retaliation. Blizzards howled, enormous ice spears raining down.

Realization struck – Little Flame’s absorption caused this. But divine power flowed freely like spiritual energy! She’d absorbed plenty earlier without consequence. Why-

CRASH! Icicles battered the firewall. Though Little Flame resisted at first, cracks appeared. Deadly shards pierced through, grazing her boots. Then purple beams sliced through thickening ice – razor-thin lights carving glaciers like paper.

"Little Flame!" She yanked the flame back, firewall vanishing as she dodged. Behind her, beams shredded ice that even Phoenix Fire couldn’t melt.

More beams spawned – seven, eight, dozens – chasing her relentlessly. The exit had sealed. Trapped.

"Damn!" Summoning her Spirit Sword, You You unleashed Sword God’s Heaven-Defying Strike.

SWISH! Her sword energy disintegrated against the beams.

You You: "…"

Little Flame: "…"

Since when were her skills useless?!

Beams multiplied into lethal webs. Desperate, she tried every skill – Heaven’s Absolute, sword storms, all shattered instantly. Cornered, she clutched Little Flame and activated Invincible Skill.

A colossal Kun enveloped them. Beams paused… then pierced through effortlessly.

"…"

We’re done for.
