Magma could reach temperatures as high as 1,400°C, only a little below the melting point of steel. Even a metal like copper would melt immediately when immersed in it.
An ordinary human body, meanwhile, would melt and carbonize at 900°C. Crematorium furnaces, for instance, only needed to maintain eight or nine hundred degrees to burn away even the hardest human bones.
But Chen Jue had raised his [Mortal World Golden Body Skill] to perfection, greatly increasing his body's defenses. Combined with his practice of the [Vermilion Bird Guidance Technique], the gradual influence of Martial Dao Gang Qi, and his exposure to the mutation energy inside Vermilion Bird, this had given his body extremely high heat resistance.
The temperature changes of both Martial Dao Gang Qi and the energy Vermilion Bird emitted exceeded those of magma!
It was precisely this combination of factors that gave him the confidence to immerse his hand directly in the bubbling, orange-red magma.
Of course, Chen Jue's seemingly absurd, suicidal action left John and the researchers standing nearby utterly dumbfounded!
Compared with Chen Jue coming down without protective clothing, immersing his hand in magma completely exceeded the limits of what ordinary humans like John could imagine.
At that moment, everyone present except Chen Jue felt their brains could no longer keep up, as though their long-established understanding of the world was about to collapse!
"OMG! God!"
"Is he trying to kill himself?"
"I can't watch! He's going to lose that arm!" Several of the less strong-willed researchers screamed, while the more timid ones simply shut their eyes.
John trembled all over, rooted to the spot without knowing what to do.
But a few seconds later, they discovered to their amazement that Chen Jue's arm had not caught fire as they had imagined. Only faint wisps of
