Even a Grand Cosmos could return to chaos. In fact, Bai Yu had already destroyed more than one Grand Cosmos.
Worlds and living beings were different, but thirtieth-tier beings were not impossible to kill.
They were simply very difficult to kill, requiring special methods and means.
If they truly could not be killed, then how had Pangu cleaved a Chaos Godsfiend to death with a single stroke of his axe when he first split open the heavens?
Pangu's method of killing Chaos Godsfiends was actually very simple and direct: overwhelming strength shattered all techniques.
Simple though this method was, not just anyone could use it.
One stroke of Pangu's axe annihilated both flesh and primordial spirit, and even sent the Great Dao itself into quiescence!
Quiescence was not destruction, nor obliteration, nor annihilation. It was a kind of transcendence—eternal stillness.
Clearly, since a Great Dao flower would never wither as long as Great Dao source still existed in the Myriad Realms, the answer was to plunge it straight into eternal stillness—a state of quiescence.
Was that not a kind of transcendence, too?
It was like an extinguished match.
The match itself had suffered no damage. Only the flame it had ignited had gone out.
A Great Dao flower was like that match. If the match were destroyed, it could return once more from the Great Dao source of the Myriad Heavens.
But the Great Dao source of the Myriad Heavens did not care whether the match was burning or extinguished, so long as the match itself had not been destroyed.
So this was actually exploiting a bug.
Only by exploiting that bug could a thirtieth-tier being be killed for good.
There was no helping it. That was how the underlying rules of the Myriad Realms worked: thirtieth-tier Dao Attainers were
