Space was vast, boundless, dark, and cold.
But today, the Styx Galaxy was completely illuminated.
Before everyone's eyes, the Emperor condensed particles of light and struck the star at the speed of light.
They pierced through the star's convective layer and radiative layer, crashed into its core, and formed an exaggerated hollow.
A bright flare erupted from the hollow, as though the gates of the Hell Furnace had been pushed open.
The intense radiation from deep within the star burst through the breach like an erupting volcano, forming a flame fountain hundreds of thousands of meters high.
The ejected stellar matter had reached temperatures of tens of millions of degrees.
The scorching light illuminated the dim universe.
Part of it fell back onto the star's surface under the pull of gravity.
The rest reached escape velocity and shot into space.
From where they stood, it looked as though the star had grown a dazzling tree of fire.
As the ejected matter reduced the pressure, the star's internal fusion reactions temporarily weakened.
The brightness on the star's surface rapidly dimmed.
In the end, only a hazy outline remained.
This made the giant flaming tree on the star's surface stand out all the more brilliantly.
It was as though it had been etched onto the universe's negative with a sharp object.
The star's fusion reactions weakened.
Its internal radiation pressure could no longer support its outer shell, and the star began to collapse.
The contracting shell came into contact with and compressed the core, ultimately triggering a massive explosion.
The star abruptly expanded, erupting with unimaginable light as a terrifying shockwave swept outward.
Zhixin said, "We should hide behind a planet. The shock stream and solar wind produced by the explosion are extremely dangerous. Even super soldiers won't be able to withstand
