Probably both; at the end of its life, a very massive star like Rigel or Betelgeuse will experience a titanic explosion that will crush the core of the star into a black hole, while blasting the outer layers of the star into space. The supernova will shine for several months, and fade into obscurity, but the black hole will probably exist forever.

At least, if our mathematical theories concerning black holes is correct, which is always open to debate. It is at least remotely possible that everything we think we know about black holes will turn out to be incorrect, and that we will have to refine our theories on the basis of new discoveries as we venture forth into the universe.

What would happen to a black hole if it was devouring a star and the star went supernova?

The gasses ejected from the supernova would probably transfer enough momentum to the black hole to blast it away from the exploding star. The black hole would gain some mass from the gasses.

What is made after a supernova?

After a Supernova explosion, a Black Hole is created. Thats right.... Stars make black holes! Here is the life cycle of stars! Not the real one, just... when it turns into a black hole.

Explosion of a supernova leave behind?

A neutron star, or a black hole. Which it is, depends on the mass that remains after the supernova explosion. Above a certain mass limit, a black hole will form.
