Heavenly Demon Puppets were a secret puppet-refining art passed down from ancient times.
They used the body as the vessel, the soul as the catalyst, the Magic Core as the heart, and Heavenly Flames for tempering, thus creating a demon puppet.
They were divided into three grades: Human Tier, Earth Tier, and Heaven Tier. Human Tier puppets were bronze, Earth Tier puppets silver, and Heaven Tier puppets gold.
Their grade depended on the materials and the strength of the Heavenly Flames, but the most crucial factor was the body used to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet.
A Heavenly Demon Puppet refined from the corpse of a Dou Zong expert could, after repeated strengthening, reach the level of a Dou Venerate.
Heavenly Demon Puppets felt neither pain nor injury, knew neither fear nor hesitation, and possessed immortal bodies. They were perfect guards and killing machines.
They could absorb the power of lightning to evolve continuously. Bearing their master's soul imprint, they were absolutely loyal.

He precisely controlled the flame's temperature at a critical point, enough to force out the impurities within the corpse without burning it to ruin.
The corpse trembled
