The corpse of a God King Tier expert was being tempered by red flames. Neither the Blazing Demon God nor the Grand Prince had ever heard of a God King Tier corpse's greatest use being absorption.
For God Kings of the same faction to advance further, they could only do so by absorbing the divine souls of other God Kings. For example, the Blazing Demon God's divine soul had been completely absorbed by the current Flame God King. As a result, the Flame God King's divine body had improved by at least one-third.
The second use of a God King's corpse was crafting weapons. The Blazing Demon God's head, torso, and other body parts had all been made into Flame Faction divine artifacts. Their power was nearly equal to the greatest fire-element treasures in the world, and some were even stronger.
Lu Yang was the first to use red flames for tempering like this. It was not that he did not want to absorb the Celestial Punisher's divine soul, nor that he did not want to make weapons from the Celestial Punisher's corpse. The Celestial Punisher was simply restricted by the laws of Blood Purgatory; once taken outside, it would turn to ashes.
As for the Celestial Punisher's divine soul, cultivators from another world could not absorb it. Their attributes were extremely incompatible. No matter what elemental power they cultivated, none matched the Celestial Punisher. Forcibly absorbing it would not only fail to improve them, but might also split their souls apart. Therefore, the best solution was to burn the Celestial Punisher with red flames.
Thirteen days.
A full thirteen days passed before the Celestial Punisher's body was completely ignited. By then, its body could no longer withstand the red flames' special power and began to twist and deform.
