Bai could understand why the Sword Palace's palace master attempted such an attack.
The reason being was that if they allowed the ootheca to continue breeding Abyssal monsters, eventually, nobody in the infinite universe would be able to handle the powerhouses bred by the ootheca.
Therefore, he chose to undertake the risk of attacking. He knew that the level of risk was high, but he still disregarded the risk and attacked it before it progressed to the next round of breeding, in which it would breed even stronger Abyssal monsters; he attempted to wipe out the root of the problem.
Unfortunately, his ending was undoubtedly tragic.
Sword Palace's palace master's death made it obvious to the people that the ootheca could not be destroyed at all.
His death made many people realize suddenly that even someone who was as powerful as the palace master, or even the Dragon Emperor, were insignificant and helpless in the presence of certain entities.
