Chapter 777

Gu Ding and Neptune did not know what was happening to Phaser since they were in the outside world, but both of them could clearly feel that Phaser's soul power was being depleted rapidly.

"At this rate, it won't take more than half an hour for Phaser to run out of soul force. When that happens, he'll only have two choices. He can either submit to the Devil Sword, or have his soul destroyed and his body taken over by the sword. But with Phaser's temperament, there's no way he'll submit to you. "

Gu Ding frowned. Phaser's situation did not look good.

"If it's just the consumption of soul power, it'll be easy. Neptune was silent for a moment. "Gu Ding, I'll teach you a set of Soul Energy workings. As long as you follow it, you might be able to save Phaser from this crisis."

Gu Ding nodded. Soon, a set of strange techniques appeared in his mind.

After reading through the technique, Gu Ding had a rough idea of Neptune's intentions.

"This technique is quite special. You want me to lend my will projection my soul power to Phaser so that he has enough soul power to suppress the Devil Sword? "

"That's right. If you attack directly, the Devil Sword will most likely escape. Phaser is currently locked in a battle of souls with the sword. If you help her win this battle without her realizing it, she'll be able to tame the sword. That's the best outcome. "Poseidon felt that this was the best way to get the job done.

"Alright then." Gu Ding nodded in agreement.

Phaser naturally did not know what was happening outside. Inside the crimson cage, the red-robed old man's strength was weakening, and the tremors caused by his attacks were also weakening. However, Phaser's soul power was quickly reaching its limit.

"My soul power is about to run out. If I want to win this battle, I'll have to burn my lifespan and convert it into soul power …" Phaser's brows furrowed in worry. "However, I used up almost half of my lifespan to subdue Azure Sky last time. My combat effectiveness is much stronger now, but this Devil Sword is also much stronger than Azure Sky. I don't know if I can subdue it before my lifespan runs out.

"It's a good thing that my cultivation is not far from Real God. As long as I subdue this demonic sword, the feedback energy I receive should be enough for me to raise my cultivation to the level of a Real God. By then, the upper limit of my lifespan will increase greatly."

"But if I'm unable to subdue this Demon Sword even after my lifespan is exhausted, then I'll die completely …"

Phaser helplessly watched as his soul force was about to run out. He knew that whether or not he could escape this calamity would depend on the heavens.

Just as he saw that his Soul Force was about to be exhausted and he was about to burn his lifespan, a stream of Soul Force suddenly poured down and entered his Soul Body, replenishing his Soul Force once more.

"This is … Gu Ding?!" Phaser immediately sensed Gu Ding's aura.

He did not have time to wonder how Gu Ding was able to use his Soul Energy to assist him. He quickly strengthened the crimson cage around the red-robed old man.

Within the blood cage, the red-robed old man's soul energy was constantly being devoured and consumed. He was also growing weaker and weaker. However, as a powerful Soul Body, although he could not attack Phaser's soul through the crimson cage, he could clearly sense that Phaser's Soul Force was quickly being consumed.

He even knew that Phaser's Soul Force was almost completely exhausted. Just as he was about to charge up his strength and break free from the cage, he suddenly noticed that Phaser's Soul Force, which was about to be exhausted, was rapidly increasing. It was even stronger than before.

"What happened? This kid is pretending to be weak. Did he deliberately make me think that I had a chance of escaping?! "The red-robed old man's face was full of anger.

"Submit to me, or be completely refined by the crimson cage." With the support of Gu Ding's Soul Force, Phaser was much more relaxed. He once again diverted some of his energy to communicate with the red-robed old man.

"Hmph, if you can, then refine me!" The red-robed old man was obviously not convinced by Phaser.

"Alright, in that case, I'll show you the true power of this Crimson Cage." Phaser's hands quickly formed a series of complicated hand seals as she spoke.

A moment later, four black chains appeared from within the crimson cage and shot toward the red-robed old man.

In the narrow space, the red-robed old man could not dodge and was immediately bound by the four chains.

As soon as the four chains wrapped around him, the red-robed old man felt that his Soul Force was being consumed several times faster than before. Moreover, each chain was like a huge mountain, instantly compressing the bones in his limbs so that he could not move them at all. Moreover, the chains were shrinking at every moment, crushing his body. That feeling was so painful that it pierced through his heart!

Phaser had never used the Omnidirectional Godlock Formation before. The reason he had not used it before was because he did not have enough Soul Force to activate this move. However, he could clearly feel that Gu Ding's Soul Force was almost endless, which was why he dared to use this move.

Once the formation was activated, the effect was remarkable. The red-robed old man who had been attacking the cage earlier howled in pain. With his limbs bound, he could no longer attack the cage.

"Surrender or be refined. I'll give you one last chance to choose! You should know that I've only used the second move, and there are still many more to come. I don't mind seeing how many moves you can last, "Phaser said with a slight smile.

"You little brat …" The red-robed old man glared at Phaser, as if trying to determine if he was telling the truth.

"My patience has its limits. Surrender or be refined. This is the last time I'll ask you this question. I advise you not to say anything irrelevant and give me an answer. "Phaser stared coldly at the red-robed old man.

"I … choose to surrender …" The red-robed old man was silent for a moment before he finally chose to lower his head.

"Very well! Don't resist. " Phaser quickly formed a hand seal, and a crimson light shot out from the crimson cage towards the red-robed old man's forehead.

The red-robed old man closed his eyes and lowered his head, not resisting anymore.

Soon, a crimson inscription appeared on his forehead and slowly sank into the red-robed old man's flesh.

Only then did Phaser form another hand seal and remove the crimson cage and chains.

The red-robed old man's limbs quickly repaired themselves. He slowly flew towards Phaser and cupped his hands respectfully. "Blood Trace greets Master!"

"From today onwards, you will be my third Blade Soul." Phaser nodded in satisfaction. The moment the contract was formed, he already knew the origin of the Blood Trace like the back of his hand. He had also inherited the Blood Trace's memories and inheritance.

"Phaser has won!" Gu Ding sensed it immediately and withdrew his Soul Energy.
