Honestly I think the volcanic skin is simply a reference within Journey to the West. In one part Sun Wukong beats the crap out of half of heaven before they finally capture him. They stick him in some kind of holy cauldron and try to burn him to death for 49 days, but when they open it he jumps out pissed off and on fire. The process also gave him "fire eyes" that let him see evil/demons even when they're disguised.
