[Star Annihilation Slash]

Grade: Sky-Rank (Low Stage)

[Technique ]

The Star Annihilation Slash condenses the blade essence, energy, and life force into a single spark, emulating the death of a star and release that energy into a devastating strike, erasing everything caught within its radius. Each swing distorts the very fabric of space, leaving trails of stellar afterglow in its wake.

[Mastery Stages]

➤ Initial Stage: The strike carries the destructive might equivalent to 20% of a simulated collapsing star, generating gravitational distortions and radiant energy bursts.

➤ Intermediate Stage: The slash channels 50% of a simulated collapsing star's destructive core, capable of annihilating entire landscapes and reducing fortified defenses to cosmic dust.

➤ Advanced Stage: The attack mimics 100% essence of a simulated collapsing star. Upon release, it can tear through the fabric of space, ripping everything in its path to shred.

➤ Perfect Stage: The strike transcends mortal understanding, replicating 1×10⁻²³% of a true collapsing star's power.

[Critical Warning]

This technique is perilous beyond measure. Failure to maintain perfect energy compression during the charging phase will cause the condensed force to collapse inward, triggering an internal implosion that will disintegrate the user from the inside out.

Levi was stunned as he saw what was written in the book. What was a collapsing star?

The energy within a collapsing star is enough to wipe out entire solar systems not to mention ordinary planets.

If the technique could truly mimic the energy of a collapsing star, then it would not just be a sky grade technique but a Transcendent-grade technique instead.

His eyes then figured on the simulated collapsing star bit and he heaved a sigh of relief.

It wasn't a true collapsing star but just a simulated one, not even close to real but judging from the information, it was still enough for him to kill above his level!

Levi was about to start learning it without hesitation when suddenly, his student badge began to glow with a brilliant white light.

Levi suddenly felt a strange suction force as though someone pushing him.

Before he could even react or resist, the tugging sensation grew even stronger, and before he knew it, the world around him changed.

Levi felt his consciousness being yanked away from his physical location with tremendous force.

Then in an instant that, everything went white.

When Levi's vision cleared and the disorientation from the forced spatial transfer faded. he found himself standing on solid ground in a completely different location.

Voices coalesced together, forming sounds that drifted into his ears.

He frowned and blinked several times to clear the afterimages from the bright teleportation light and looked around to check his surroundings when he noticed he was actually back in the massive stadium!

For him, it felt as though a few months had passed. However, only two days had turkey passed.

The massive walls, as well as the elevated platform where academy officials and instructors sat, and the enormous holographic displays that at the center of the entire stadium confirmed his theory.

But what immediately caught his attention was incredibly small amount of people that had exited the portal.

Out of the 3000 students who had entered the trial examination with hope and determination, only approximately 900 had survived to see its conclusion.

The remaining had either been killed by dimensional beasts or murdered by dark cultivators.

The survival rate was barely thirty percent. For every three students who had entered, two had died.

Levi's eyes scanned through the crowds. As a Genetic soldier, his senses especially his sight had improved to an astonishing degree and after a few seconds, his gaze locked onto a familiar figure standing about 100 meters away from him.

Her silver hair had actually turned golden and her eyes had also turned golden also!

The moment their eyes met, her face lit up as she smiled an astonishingly beautiful smile that was enough to dim the sun.

Ivory heaved a sigh of relief she didn't know she was holding as then raised her hand and waved happily at Levi.

While he didn't show it, Levi was also relieved she managed to survive the ordeal but was slightly taken aback by the change in her hair and her eyes.

"It seemed she consumed the Heaven Grade serum."

Levi muttered to himself as he noticed the power she was radiating was almost at the peak of Super soldier realm. He smiled softly and nodded his head in acknowledgment.

Seeing this, Ivory smile widened even more and she was about to come over to his direction but with the mass of students in her way, she was disappointed she wasn't able to push through them to meet Levi.

Moreover, the academy staff were already beginning to organize the students to queue in an orderly manner.

At that moment, the entire stadium instantly went silent. Levi's brows rose and he realized why that was.

Sub-Dean Scarlet had suddenly appeared on the platform as she stared down at the students with her crimson eyes.

The temperature of the stadium increased dramatically as the students felt scorched heat caress their faces.

She was expressionless but there was a hint of satisfaction on her face.

"First and foremost, let me congratulate each and every one of you who stands here today," Scarlet began.

"You have survived what was meant to be a challenging trial, which instead became a genuine life-or-death situation due to circumstances beyond our control. The fact that you stand here now, alive and relatively intact, speaks to your strength, and your will to survive. These are the qualities that define true cultivators, and you have all proven yourselves worthy of that title."

She paused slightly as she let her words sink into the ears of the students.

The students puffed their chest in pride as they heard the compliment from the Scarlet Devil.

The sub-dean's expression suddenly turned serious.

"However, I must also address the elephant in the room. The trial examination was deliberately sabotaged by members of the Ancient Ground of Dark Matter, an organization that has been a thorn in the side of cultivators for centuries. They infiltrated our dimensional zone, corrupted the world core to trigger an artificial Blood Moon Frenzy, and eliminate our most promising students before they could reach their full potential."

The temperature in the stadium seemed to drop several degrees as Scarlet spoke those words, and Levi could see her hair blazing with intense crimson flames as she started to get angry.
