The environment within the apocalyptic zone is extremely harsh, with temperatures so high it feels like a steamer. Everywhere is filled with scorching steam and toxic smoke; if an ordinary person stays here, they would lose their life within minutes.
However, the Dragon Scale Cultivators' bodies are covered with a hard layer of scales that can insulate against the high heat, and their skin has regulatory functions that protect the internal organs well. Steaming hot steam continuously emits from their pores, serving as a heat dispersion.
After bioengineering modifications by the Mechanical God Cult, these Dragon Scale Cultivators possess a "third lung" that filters toxins from the harmful environment, allowing normal breathing activities.
Moreover, these lungs are similar to those of dragons, able to constantly absorb elemental energy from the air and transport it to the base blood vessels, providing an additional source of energy.
