After being transformed into a soul puppet, the Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor would completely lose himself.
There was essentially no difference from being erased.
Although the Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor cried out "No" in despair, how could Ling Zhan possibly stop out of pity?
Buzz!!
Mysterious soul ripples spread outward.
Under the Soul-Taming Art, the Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor's origin soul was directly transformed into a soul knight clad head to toe in steel armor.
Not only that...
The Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor's corpse had also been preserved intact.
These Demon Emperors possessed eight lives.
Thus, during the first seven lives, Ling Zhan had bombarded him without restraint using every effect of the array.
Once the Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor reached his eighth life, he held back. To ensure the integrity of the Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor's corpse, he had deliberately spared it.
That was why the Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor's corpse could be preserved so completely.
The more intact a corpse was, the more of its strength it could retain after being made into a corpse puppet.
At present, the Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor could retain at least 80% of his combat power from when he was alive.
Moreover, because his brain had also been preserved intact, his combat memories from life would remain.
That was excellent.
Under such circumstances, the Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor had merely lost 20% of his combat power.
Yet with Ling Zhan's BUFF enhancements, restoring the Steel-Slashing Demon Emperor to his peak strength would be effortless. He could even surpass his former self.
Turning a Demon Emperor's soul and corpse into puppets for a second use—only Ling Zhan could do something like that.
The Storm Demon Emperor and Thunder Demon Emperor, witnessing this scene, were completely consumed by terror and despair.
Yet they could only remain inside the array and endure the torment.
