Chapter 710 The Strength of a Ghost Immortal

In these ten years, she had also searched for the reason why her strength could not advance further.

Just five years ago, by chance, she learned why she couldn't cultivate to the Ghost Immortal realm.

Those guys in heaven had sealed the gate of ascension from the mortal world!

It was impossible to reach the Ghost Immortal realm through cultivation.

It was like being stuck at level 99 and having the door to break 100 sealed shut.

The only way to reach the Ghost Immortal realm was to break this one-in-a-hundred curse.

There were three methods to break this curse. The first two were now impossible, and the last one was to absorb human essence, and that essence must contain ghost energy.

This was almost impossible, but it just so happened that the kid met this condition.

Bang!

The silver needle pierced directly through the ghost energy, stabbing into the female ghost's chest and passing through instantly.

Watching the wound on the female ghost's chest continue to expand, Yu Shuntian was somewhat confused.

Was it that simple?

This guy's strength shouldn't be this weak.

Although confused, Yu Shuntian didn't think much of it.

As long as this guy was dealt with.

Yu Shuntian turned and was about to leave when he suddenly felt the surrounding ghost energy continuously drifting towards the ghost behind him.

Seeing the visible ghost energy ceaselessly drifting backward, Yu Shuntian immediately felt something was wrong and turned to look.

The female ghost's dissipating body began to recondense, and she was even growing stronger.

"What is this!" Yu Shuntian's expression changed drastically. He pulled out a silver needle and shot it over.

The silver needle flew towards her, but the female ghost easily caught it with her hand, a disdainful smile appearing on her face. "I originally prepared this power for the lightning tribulation, but I can let you experience its might first."

All the ghost energy from the entire mountain converged. At this moment, the female ghost's aura was more than ten times stronger.

Yu Shuntian frowned, his expression grave. He drew eight silver needles from his waist, ready to strike.

This was no longer the energy of a Ghost King; it could even rival that of a Ghost Immortal.

Yu family old residence.

Yu Daohan sat at the tea table, drinking tea. Suddenly, he felt a terrifying ghost energy and instinctively ran outside.

He saw the surrounding ghost energy drifting in one direction.

"What's going on!?" Yu Daohan looked in the direction where the ghost energy was flowing.

He saw that the ghost energy of the entire mountain and the surrounding area was converging in one place.

"Grandpa!" Yu Daohan immediately felt that his grandfather might be in trouble and rushed towards the back mountain.

At the same time.

Yu Shuntian waved his hand, shooting out the eight silver needles.

Facing the eight incoming silver needles, the female ghost merely waved her hand.

The eight silver needles were flicked aside.

Yu Shuntian watched his needles being so easily deflected, his face filled with shock.

How could she be so much stronger!

"Now it's my turn."

As soon as the female ghost finished speaking, she slammed her palm forward. The ghost energy formed a palm strike that swept forward like a tidal wave.

Yu Shuntian crossed his arms and braced himself against the powerful strike.

Bang!

Yu Shuntian took the incoming palm strike and was sent flying backward, crashing into the trees behind him.

Yu Shuntian leaned against the large tree to stand up, his face slightly pale. He managed to suppress a mouthful of blood from spitting out.

The female ghost's face contorted into a sinister smile. She raised her palm and struck again.

Seeing this, Yu Shuntian dared not meet the attack head-on. He pulled out a silver needle, condensed blue flames, and shot it out.

The energy of the silver needle perfectly canceled out the incoming palm strike.

The ghost let out a light chuckle, vanished with a flicker, and disappeared.

"I'm here."

Suddenly, the ghost's voice sounded from behind him.

"What!" Yu Shuntian's expression changed drastically. As he turned, he pulled out a silver needle, preparing to stab.

But before he could raise his hand, the ghost struck with her palm.

Bang!

Yu Shuntian took the full force of the palm strike, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying several meters away, breaking a large tree behind him.

Watching Yu Shuntian fly backward, the ghost's face showed a sinister smile.

"See? This is the power of a Ghost Immortal, a power that surpasses all things in the world!"

The power of this palm strike was immense. Yu Shuntian, leaning on the tree trunk, stood up with difficulty, looking at the female ghost in disbelief.

So this fellow had been hiding her strength all along.

Seeing Yu Shuntian, who was at the end of his rope, the female ghost sneered, "Don't worry, not only will you die, but your grandson will also be completely drained."

Yu Shuntian let out a long sigh and removed the metal plates from his feet and arms.

At this point, it seemed he could only fight this creature to the death.

Seeing that Yu Shuntian did not seem to have unleashed his full power, the ghost did not rush to attack.

After all, with her current strength, killing Yu Shuntian would be effortless.

Three metal plates on each foot, two on each arm, totaling ten metal plates.

After removing the metal plates from his body, Yu Shuntian stretched his muscles and limbs, sighing, "The last time I removed all the metal plates was three years ago."

Looking at the ten metal plates at Yu Shuntian's feet, the female ghost sneered, "Removing a few metal plates is useless. You must die today!"

Saying that, she charged at Yu Shuntian and struck with her palm.

Facing the incoming palm strike, Yu Shuntian was fearless. He raised his palm to meet it.

Bang!

Their palms collided, and the resulting surge of energy even snapped the branches of trees twenty meters away.

Yu Shuntian, who had been unable to resist, now stood his ground.

"What!" The female ghost's face showed shock.

How could this guy's strength have suddenly increased so much.

"Hah!"

Yu Shuntian roared and exerted force. The female ghost instinctively retreated.

Watching the retreating female ghost, Yu Shuntian knew clearly.

To defeat this creature, brute force alone would not work.

He could only use that needle...!

Yu Shuntian pulled out a silver needle from the right side of his chest, formed a hand seal, and muttered, "Spirit Stabilizing Needle: Burning Sun Needle."

As the silver needle entered his body, Yu Shuntian's aura instantly surged.

The approaching female ghost also stopped instinctively, her expression turning from relaxed to grim.

This guy's aura had indeed increased a level.

As his aura stopped surging, Yu Shuntian clenched his fist, filled with power, and looked at the female ghost. He calculated with his fingers, "Come, old man, I want to see how strong this so-called Ghost Immortal truly is today."

This mortal world had demons, ghosts, and devils, but why had humans always dominated it since ancient times?

It was magic!

Humans did not have the lifespan of demons or the unpredictable power of ghosts, yet they had always been the masters of the mortal world, relying on powerful magic.

This was the secret to humanity's continued dominance.

"Hmph, playing tricks." The female ghost waved her palm and struck again.

With this sudden burst of power, she didn't believe it came without a price.

He definitely couldn't sustain it for long.

Yu Shuntian was not afraid and met her attack with his fist.

Their palms met, and neither gained the upper hand.

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over ten blows, but neither could overcome the other.

Yu Shuntian seized a flaw in the female ghost's attack and landed a punch on her chest.

The female ghost staggered back from the blow.
