The fall of the Daluo Golden Immortal of the Five Elements was only the beginning.
Once the cycle was broken, the consequences would be an all-encompassing collapse.
Just like now...
Gu Jinlai had battled the three thousand Dao Ancestors for over a hundred epochs—millions of years—before finally killing one Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements. Yet to kill the second Dao Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor of Creation, he had needed only seventy epochs!

The Dao Ancestors fell faster and faster.
