First, he chased after the Mane 6, Spike, and Shining Armor

1.) Enslaved an entire empire. Apparently he was so terrifying to them that the mere memory of him brings them pain.

2.) Presumably killed its previous ruler, as we never saw any king/queen/princess of the Crystal Empire that was usurped by Sombra in the empire, plus Cadance and Shining Armor rule the Crystal Empire after Cadance and the Crystal Ponies kill Sombra

3.) Tries to kill Spike with the dark crystal

He really wasn't in a position to do much more most of the episode as he was outside of a barrier he could not cross, but he was spreading his dark crystals once part of his horn got through. And if he had the chance, he would have done a lot more damage. He's not like his predecessors, he doesn't screw around. He'd want the Crystal Ponies around as his slaves, but he could have killed the Mane 6, Shining Armor, and Cadance if given the chance, and again came close to killing Spike.
