Chapter 403: A Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate

Gamma rays are produced by nuclear fusion at the core of a star, but since they cannot penetrate the atmosphere of Blue Star, they cannot reach the lower atmosphere of Blue Star and can only be detected in space.

Essentially speaking, the composition of the Three Pure Realms is not much different from that of Earth, the only difference being the existence of Spiritual Power. Therefore, under normal circumstances, gamma rays are also unable to reach the atmosphere of the Three Pure Realms.

Gamma rays themselves possess extremely strong penetrating abilities. When the human body is exposed to gamma rays, they can enter inside and ionize cells. The ions produced by ionization can erode complex organic molecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and enzymes, all of which are main components of living cell tissue. Once they are damaged, it can disrupt normal chemical processes in the body, and in severe cases, can lead to cell death, which is fatal for the people of Blue Star.
