Into separate parts or pieces.

Asunder (adverb) or (adjective)

"The robot standing over your shoulders is not waiting to grab you by the ears and tear you asunder."

"This would rip open-wheel racing asunder, just when there was enough trouble maintaining prestige and popularity with one series."
