His skin protruded, transforming into an airtight stone shell that enveloped Feng Lin within.
Feng Lin transformed into the Heart Monkey, protecting himself tightly, resisting the heat from the lava.
This was the special ability he obtained after his Stone Monkey Gene was maxed out — Stonebirth Transformation.
At the cost of losing his mobility, he could transform into a stone shell, increasing his defense to the extreme.
The temperature of the lava was over ten thousand degrees. Those Martians who barged in were instantly burned into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
Feng Lin was completely unharmed. This was the ultimate defense of Stonebirth Transformation.
Ever since he ascertained that he could successfully refine the pill furnace, Feng Lin had thought of this countermeasure.
The Mars Revolutionary Army was endless, gushing forth in waves. It was very difficult for him to fight against the entire army alone.
How long would he have to kill them?
No matter how strong he was, he would eventually be exhausted to death.
Hence, Feng Lin decided to open the pill furnace and guided in the lava, turning this place into a fiery hell. No one could enter, and only he could survive by relying on his Stonebirth Transformation ability.
Feng Lin transformed into a stone ape in the womb and floated in the magma.
The lava contained the flames of the planet's core. The temperature was extremely high and incomparably pure, continuously tempering his body. The stone carvings became increasingly transparent and glossy.
If it was an ordinary jade stone before, now that the impurities were gradually removed, it became increasingly transparent, turning into a flawless, pure, and beautiful jade.
Although his Stone Monkey Gene had maxed out, this didn't mean that his abilities had been strengthened to the extreme.
Adding points to genes was equivalent to talent. When one's talent reached the extreme, one's abilities would have to be strengthened through continuous practice. There was no end to it.
Sun Wukong was born as a spiritual stone monkey, but his strength wasn't innate. It was just that his talent was very good, and his intelligence far surpassed his peers. At the start, he was just a nameless and weak little stone monkey.
After that, Sun Wukong traveled across the four seas and experienced untold hardships before he became the disciple of Patriarch Subhuti. He learned a set of heaven-shaking abilities and became the Great Sage Equal to Heavens!
Hence, adding points to one's genes would only allow one's talent to be maximized. As for how to use it, it would vary from person to person, depending on how they used it and how they cultivated it.
For example, if both of them had the Ice Gene, there would be people who would use the ability to form ice to break through space and kill their enemies. There would also be people who would choose to use the power of ice to freeze everything, using cold qi to kill …
The toughness of Feng Lin's body began to change under the tempering of the Astral Core Fire. However, there were still impurities being forced out from his body, and they were instantly burned into green smoke before dissipating.
The nutrients accumulated in his body were rapidly consumed, but his body curled up like water. From the previous 1.98 meters, he was 1.90 meters, and then 1.78 meters.
However, this didn't mean that Feng Lin had become weaker. On the contrary, his body had been purified and became even more quintessential.
If his body had been made of steel before, then his body had now become the hardest alloy. His internal structure had also changed. His bones were as white as jade and had a faint metallic luster. His tendons were as tough as steel wires.
Comprehension rose in Feng Lin's heart.
The path of cultivation was endless. If one did not advance, one would fall behind.
All of these experiences would become the most precious experiences that would be kept in his heart and would never be forgotten.
The flames from the Astral Core Fire flowed in reverse, incinerating everything in the furnace. The giant titan corpse, Frank's corpse … all of them were turned into ashes, no longer existing.
No matter how powerful they were when they were alive, no matter how high their statuses were, it was all for naught.
It was truly a great conflagration that burned the world cleanly.
For a time, only Feng Lin was left in the space of the furnace. He was curled up in the stone core.
At the same time as his body was being tempered, he was also silently forming hand seals, controlling his mental energy to continue refining the furnace. He engraved his own mental imprint into the deepest part of the furnace, forming a formless connection with it.
As the imprint deepened, the connection grew closer as well. He felt like he could control the furnace like an extension of his own body.
Feng Lin felt that as long as he willed it, he would be able to control the furnace as he pleased.
"Is this the ancient ruin that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company excavated?"
"There seems to be some survivors of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company inside. We must capture them! "
"What? The first batch of people who entered were all incinerated into ashes! "
…
At this moment, a series of angry roars rang out from the passageway above the furnace.
Clearly, the changes in the core had attracted even more soldiers from the Mars Revolutionary Army.
"How troublesome!" Feng Lin furrowed his brows. He abruptly controlled the furnace, causing it to shake violently, completely breaking away from the passageway. The lid of the furnace then slammed shut.
Amidst a series of exclamations, the furnace sank into the depths of the core.
By doing so, the space within the furnace was completely isolated from the outside world. He could temporarily calm down and focus on refining the furnace, not being disturbed by others.
Unless the Mars Revolutionary Army had the technology to penetrate deep into the core, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
But even so, in order to prevent unexpected things from happening, Feng Lin also started to focus on refining the furnace.
This Mars was in a state of internal strife and chaos was everywhere. It wasn't a good place to stay for long. The earlier he left, the better.
The center of Feng Lin's brows flashed with silver light as his mental energy gushed forth, instantly entering the furnace.
However, this furnace was as expected of an ancient treasure left behind by the Furnace Immortal Sect. There was a space within, and it contained many mysteries.
Feng Lin's mental energy probed inside, but it was like he had fallen into a bottomless pit. He couldn't find the end no matter what. He could feel that there was a mysterious energy hidden within, and it wasn't something he could probe at his current level.
After a few attempts, he still failed. He could only helplessly give up and hastily leave a mental imprint on the furnace.
By doing so, he could only be considered to have completed the initial refinement of the furnace. He hadn't gained full control over it yet.
However, this was already sufficient.
The cultivation base of an interstellar cultivator was still too low. He was far from being able to fully control this furnace.
Reaching this step was already Feng Lin's current limit.
Feng Lin didn't feel too much regret as he silently mused.
It's time to leave!
The core was located in the center of Mars. If he stayed here for too long, he would be like a turtle trapped in a jar. He wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to.
According to what Frank had said earlier, there was a secret passageway in the core that led to the tallest volcano on Mars, Mount Olympus!
From the core, one could pass through the crater of the volcano and return to the surface of Mars.
Based on the memories Frank had given him, Feng Lin controlled the furnace to move around in the core.
If the lava flow in the core was an ocean, then the furnace would be a submarine.
With a single thought, Feng Lin could control the furnace to move freely. It was extremely mystical.
Very soon, he arrived at the location in the memories.
